Great Belly Ghost King

Even with their combined strength, these Imperial Clan Cultivator and representatives from several Sect could hardly withstand the endless, overwhelming Fierce Spirit Evil Ghost. Once these Fierce Spirit and Evil Ghost broke through the defenses and invaded the Human Realm, it would truly be a time of great suffering and destruction.

The Ghost King Sect's actions will inevitably face severe suppression from various forces. Therefore, after understanding this, despite the shame, the Ghost King Sect members have no choice but to take action to deal with these Fierce Spirit and Evil Ghost that rushed out of the Gate of Hell, rather than risk the annihilation of their entire sect.

The Evil Ghost are countless, but their root lies in the Gate of Hell. The people of the Ghost King Sect naturally know this clearly. Therefore, on the one hand, they help these Imperial Clan troops fight against the thousands of Evil Ghost, and on the other hand, more than a dozen Void Returning Stage experts from the Ghost King Sect, like a sharp blade, rushed into the cave in Strange Stone Mountain to close the Gate of Hell.

Everyone knows who opened the Gate of Hell, and they are also clear about the purpose of the Ghost King Sect members rushing into the Demon Caves.

With the intervention of over a dozen Void Returning Stage Cultivator from the Ghost King Sect to close the Gate of Hell, the number of Evil Ghost that rushed out, though large, would be reduced one by one, so there was no need to worry too much.

The Ghost King Sect is an expert in dealing with ghosts, and with the addition of a powerful lineup of more than a dozen Void Returning Stage Cultivator, it was enough to reassure everyone. The Imperial Clan army and the representatives of those Sect intensified their efforts to kill these Evil Ghost, waiting only for the Gate of Hell to close before the final cleanup.

The Crown Prince was in a fairly good mood. Although the endless stream of Evil Ghost and the Gate of Hell were unexpected and caught him off guard, things seemed to be developing in a positive direction.

Once the gates of hell close and all these evil spirits are eliminated, the Xuan Yin Jade Mine will fall into the hands of the royal family. In this confrontation, the royal family has won a complete victory, which is enough to enhance the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

"Boom...".

However, just as the Crown Prince and the others were waiting for the Ghost King Sect's experts to quickly close the Gate of Hell, suddenly, the entire Strange Stone Mountain shook as if an earthquake had struck. Then, a terrifying explosion occurred within the Strange Stone Mountain, and a dark, sinister aura, like Sky-Supporting Pillar, shot straight into the heavens.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." As this enormous, pitch-black ghostly aura appeared, countless Evil Ghost let out excited and joyful Ghost Howl, as if welcoming the arrival of a king. The terrifying ghostly aura made one feel as if they were in the gloomy Hungry Ghost Path.

"What's going on with this ghostly aura? It's too strong!" Hu Xian'er's face paled, her expression changed drastically, and she stared in horror at the direction from which the ghostly aura soared into the sky. Even her clear voice couldn't hide a trace of horror, for the power of this ghostly aura made her tremble from the depths of her heart.

"This strength is at least at the Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivator..." Hu Xian'er said in a hushed voice, staring in horror at the direction from which the ghostly energy erupted.

"Tribulation Crossing Realm?" Upon hearing Hu Xian'er's words, Zhuge Xiang stared at her blankly. Clearly, this was a minor realm within the Void Returning Stage, but it was undoubtedly a minor realm with relatively strong power.

"The Major Realm Qi Refining, Deity Transformation, and Void Refinement Void Returning Stage includes the Nascent Soul Stage, the Dao Seeking Realm Spirit Severing Realm, the Dharma Aspect Realm, the Dharma Aspect Realm, the Tribulation Crossing Realm Mahayana Realm, and the Mahayana Realm. Those who have reached the Great Ascension Realm have already passed the final Heavenly Tribulation, and their physical bodies have transformed into the bodies of immortals and demons. They only need the immortal and demonic energy to merge with their physical bodies before they can break through the void and ascend to heaven. This Ghost King is at least comparable to Cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm."

It seemed that only Zhuge Xiang didn't quite understand the Void Returning Stage, Hu Xian'er spoke up to explain it to Zhuge Xiang.

"I see..." After hearing Hu Xian'er's words, Zhuge Xiang finally had a clearer understanding of the Void Returning Stage.

Zhuge Xiang originally thought that after passing the Immortal-Demon Tribulation, he could ascend to the Immortal and Demonic Realms Immortal-Demon Tribulation. However, it turned out that this was not the case. Passing the Great Tribulation of Immortals and Demons only meant entering the Mahayana Realm. Only when the power in his body was transformed into the Qi of Immortals and Demons and completely merged with the body of immortals and demons could he be considered to have become an immortal and demon and be able to break through the void and ascend.

"This Ghost King is at least at the level of the Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivator? Doesn't that mean he's comparable to Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens?" But the more Zhuge Xiang understood the realm division of the Void Returning Stage, the more he realized just how strong this Ghost King, who had never shown himself, really was.

Staring intently at the direction where the ghostly aura soared into the sky, his expression also darkened. He hadn't expected that the Gate of Hell would attract such a powerful Ghost King.

With a bang, the Strange Stone Mountain was as fragile as a sheet of paper. A terrifying, towering hand appeared, piercing through the Strange Stone Mountain's peak and extending out. The arm, tens of feet long, was covered with dense black hair and had jet-black nails, exuding a sinister aura. Its powerful muscles rose up like mountain ravines.

"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out as one of the Ghost King Sect's Void Returning Stage powerhouses was grabbed by that enormous hand and held tightly in its palm, like an ant. No matter what he did, he couldn't break free.

Amidst the even more violent tremors, countless rocks on Strange Stone Mountain were shattered. Then, a gigantic figure stood up, towering about two or three hundred feet tall. Strange Stone Mountain could only reach his thigh level.

A colossal Ghost King loomed between heaven and Heaven and Earth. Due to the dark, heavy clouds, it seemed as if the Ghost King's head reached into the clouds. Its enormous belly was so large that it could hold a mountain.

Crunch, crunch...

The flesh was mangled and bloody. The Void Realm powerhouse from the Ghost King Sect was chewed up and swallowed whole by the Great Belly Ghost King. Even Void Realm Great Expert was nothing more than its Food. Such strength was truly astonishing and could easily place it among the top ranks of the entire Cultivation World.

"The Great Belly Ghost King, impossible, how could it appear here..." Staring in horror at the towering, ferocious Ghost King, the Yinzhi Old Man from the Ghost King Sect muttered to himself, his eyes filled with terror, as he retreated, looking as if he had seen the most terrifying monster.

"Is this Great Belly Ghost King extremely powerful?" Looking at the Yinzhi Old Man from the Ghost King Sect, who clearly recognized the Ghost King, Hu Xian'er asked him in a low voice.

Although Hu Xian'er knew that the Ghost King was very powerful, seeing how easily he devoured Void Realm Great Experts, she was still very curious about who this Great Belly Ghost King Ghost King was.

"The Three Realms and Six Paths: The Three Realms are divided into the Human Realm, the Immortal Realm, and the Demon Realm Immortal and Demonic Realms. The Immortal and Demon Realms are at the top, while the Human Realm is the foundation of the Three Realms and Six Paths. Below it are the Six Paths, which also have countless Cultivators. Once one has achieved success in cultivation, one can also ascend to the Immortal and Demonic Realms." The Yinzhi Old Man from the Ghost King Sect stared in astonishment at the Great Belly Ghost King, stammering as he spoke.

Of the Three Realms and Six Paths, the Human Realm is the foundation, with the most Cultivator and numerous races. The Immortal and Immortal and Demonic Realms.

As for the Six Paths? Actually, they are not much different from the Human Realm. There are countless Cultivators in the Six Paths. Once they have achieved success in their cultivation, they can also break through the boundaries and ascend to the Immortal and Demonic Realms. Therefore, the strongest Cultivator in the Six Paths are comparable to the top experts in the Human Realm.

However, unlike the Human Realm where hundreds of races coexist, the Cultivator in the Six Paths are relatively homogeneous. For example, the Asura Path consists entirely of warlike and conquering Asura, while the Hungry Ghost Path consists entirely of fierce Fierce Spirit...

"I know all that. Is this Great Belly Ghost King famous in the Hungry Ghost Path?" Hearing the Yinzhi Old Man rambling on, Hu Xian'er waved her hand impatiently and pressed him for an answer.

Hearing Hu Xian'er's urging, the Yinzhi Old Man clearly realized he had uttered some nonsense, and said succinctly, "Our Ghost King Sect has dealt with the Hungry Ghost Path our entire lives, and we know that the strongest beings in the Hungry Ghost Path are divided into nine emperors and thirty-six kings. This Great Belly Ghost King is one of the Thirty-Six Ghost Kings. His cultivation has already reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but we don't know if he has survived the Immortal-Demon Tribulation. He has a big belly, and it is said that he can swallow more than a dozen cities."

"One of the Thirty-Six Ghost Kings?" Upon hearing the Yinzhi Old Man, Hu Xian'er secretly gasped. Such a reputation clearly reminded her just how terrifying this Great Belly Ghost King truly was.

Although the area of Hungry Ghost Path is smaller than that of the Human Realm, we must not forget that the strong in the Human Realm are not only humans, but also various Demi-Human Clan, Demon Cultivator, and even Ancient Divine Beast. Human Cultivator also exist in many countries, such as the Great Qin Empire and the Great Tang Dynasty, and there are even many legendary holy lands.

To be ranked among the Thirty-Six Ghost Kings in the entire Hungry Ghost Path demonstrates that the Great Belly Ghost King's strength is in no way inferior to that of the Sect Master of a Large Sect.

"Gah gah gah, as expected, it's still the humans that taste the Void Realm Great Expert in one gulp, the Great Belly Ghost King opened its huge mouth, with flesh and blood still visible between its teeth, and let out a piercing laugh. A terrifying ghostly aura permeated the air, making people feel as if they were in a ghost realm.

With a sweep of his eyes, the Great Belly Ghost King locked onto the Return to Void Realm experts present, opened his hand, and grabbed at Hu Xian'er.

Among the Cultivator present at the Void Return to Void Realm, Hu Xian'er had the highest cultivation level, at the Spirit Severing Stage, only two minor realms apart from the Great Belly Ghost King at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

However, the higher one's strength, the more difficult it becomes to improve. Two minor realms are nothing in the Qi Refining Stage, and in the Deity Transformation stage, one can make up for it with Heavenly Timing and Favorable Terrain Treasure Artifact. But in the Void Returning Stage, even a single minor realm difference is an insurmountable chasm, let alone two.

Her face paled. Seeing that the Great Belly Ghost King had locked onto her, Hu Xian'er flashed, her dress fluttering, and she passed incredibly fast through the Great Belly Ghost King's fingers. Hu Xian'er's greatest strength was her speed...

"Oh? Interesting," the Great Belly Ghost King grinned, his flesh clearly visible, as he watched Hu Xian'er dodge his attack. His gaze was now fixed on Hu Xian'er. (To be continued...)
