At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the tree hole on the other side of the dead tree, and waves of strong spiritual power rolled out from it, causing a stir in that area, and then countless golden rays of light emerged.
The palm of the man in the black cloak suddenly stopped less than a foot away from Bai Ling's forehead. He tilted his palm and gently stroked Bai Ling's head.
"You should be thankful that he is not dead yet, otherwise... there would be no need for you to keep him." The man grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said.
After saying this, the man withdrew his hand, turned back to where he had been standing before, and continued to wait quietly.
Bai Ling had experienced a false alarm, but was already frightened out of her wits. She was in tears but could not even cry, and kept begging Shen Luo in her heart to come back alive.
At this moment, inside the cave, Shen Luo was still sitting on the ground, but he had changed to a posture of sitting cross-legged with his hands clasped together, exactly the same as the Monkey King on the mural, and the phantoms that had previously surrounded him had all disappeared.
Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes. The aftereffects of the magical power surging in his body had not yet completely disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.
He stretched out his hands and clenched them hard. There was a crisp sound from his knuckles and an electric current seemed to flow through the muscles of his arm. He felt his body was filled with explosive power.
"From the Huangting Sutra to the Seventy-two Transformations, it seems that more than just the changes in the techniques have occurred. This body also seems to be a lot tougher than before. I just don't know if the power will increase when I use the Three Star Demon-Slaying Magical Ability now?" Shen Luo muttered to himself as he felt the changes in his body.
But at this moment, a stream of light suddenly appeared on the mural of Sun Wukong on the stone wall facing him, and a green light flashed in his eyes, and a layer of light shadow flew out from it.
Shen Luo looked intently and saw two very complicated forbidden talismans emerging from the phantom of light.
Just when he didn't know how to respond, the two green talismans suddenly dissipated and disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of eyes carved on the mural suddenly moved, and a layer of stone covering them peeled off, revealing two ruby-like round eyeballs.
"This is..." Shen Luo couldn't help but be surprised when he felt the strong fluctuations of spiritual power coming from it.
But the next moment, something strange happened.
Suddenly, the two red balls shot up, flew out from the eye sockets of the stone sculpture, and headed straight towards Shen Luo.
The two gems were flying at an extremely fast speed. The moment they flew out, they left a visible mark in the void. They then instantly arrived in front of Shen Luo's eyes and penetrated directly into him without waiting for him to make any move.
"Ah..." Shen Luo couldn't help but scream.
An extremely intense pain came from the eye sockets of his eyes, accompanied by a burning sensation that made him almost unable to bear it.
His vision was blurry and he waved his hands around to wipe his eyes.
However, the moment Shen Luo's palm touched his cheek, his hands immediately felt an intense pain as if they were being burned by flames, and raging flames were burning in his eye sockets.
