Overwhelming with Strength

The Shadow Ghost Emperor split into four, and each of the four bodies possessed the same strength. The Innate Divine Ability of the Netherworld Tree Clan astonished the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain.

However, following the Shadow Ghost Emperor's power, Mo Lingna's breakthrough to the Fish Demon Body allowed her to effortlessly dodge the combined attacks of the four Shadow Ghost Emperors, leaving these powerful figures speechless and dumbfounded.

Let alone the participants of these Asura Emperors, even the Thunder Flame Emperor, the Purple Emperor, and the Fox Emperor felt their hearts grow heavy as they watched Mo Lingna and the Shadow Ghost Emperor, paying close attention to their battle.

Undeniably, besides Zhuge Xiang, Mo Lingna and the Shadow Ghost Emperor have become another force capable of threatening them.

While the Shadow Ghost Emperor's own strength was formidable, it was not enough to threaten the Purple Emperor, Thunder Flame Emperor, and Fox Emperor. However, the Shadow Ghost Emperor's innate Innate Divine Ability, which allowed him to multiply into four, and the combined attack of the four of them, put them under immense pressure.

Their cultivation was approaching that of an Emperor, their speed was unpredictable, and they were four people working together, three of whom were Asura Emperor. I admit that even I would feel overwhelmed if I faced four Shadow Ghost Emperor working together.

What about Mo Lingna? Although her strength was insignificant in the eyes of the three Asura Emperors, her exquisite movement technique made them feel troubled. What's the point of even the most powerful attack if it can't truly land on the opponent?

"No, if this continues, I won't be able to hold on much longer..." After a prolonged battle, although Mo Lingna seemed powerless against his attacks, the Shadow Ghost Emperor grew increasingly anxious. He hadn't expected that even after unleashing his Innate Divine Ability, he still couldn't defeat his opponent.

The Shadow Ghost Emperor is a Netherworld Tree Clan. Although reaching the Immortal-Demon level allows one to branch out and cultivate simultaneously, fighting requires immense mental energy. Furthermore, the Shadow Ghost Emperor hasn't fully mastered this Innate Divine Ability, so in a battle using it, he can only sustain it for about the time it takes for a Shadow Ghost Emperor stick to burn.

Originally, in the Shadow Ghost Emperor's view, even if he faced a being of the Five Emperors level, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn would be enough to determine the victor. Regardless of whether he won or lost, if he used his Innate Divine Ability to deal with Mo Lingna, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for four of him to attack at the same time? However, he did not expect that Mo Lingna's Fish Demon Body was more exquisite than he had imagined, making it difficult to succeed.

With her Fish Demon Body, she moved with unparalleled speed within a small space, and the Shadow Ghost Emperor were incredibly swift. Even with four Shadow Ghost Emperor attacking together, sealing off the surrounding space, Mo Lingna's Fish Demon Body, though only moving within a small area, moved like a nimble fish, always managing to slip through the slightest, almost imperceptible gaps. This left the Shadow Ghost Emperor feeling incredibly frustrated with Mo Lingna.

His speed, which made him famous, could not bring him any substantial results. Even after using his Innate Divine Ability, he could not secure a victory. For Shadow Ghost Emperor, the battle with Mo Lingna was not as exhilarating as he had imagined. Instead, he felt restricted and unable to exert his full strength and advantages.

"Since speed is insufficient to defeat her, then I will use force." With a thought, the four Shadow Ghost Emperor ceased their attack, transforming into four shadows that scattered in all directions, each several miles apart, hovering in mid-air, their powerful auras surging forth...

"What is he trying to do?" The powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain were all secretly surprised and puzzled as they watched the Shadow Ghost Emperor stop his most skilled fighting and instead scatter to form a huge square formation.

It should be known that the Shadow Ghost Emperor is famous throughout the Asura Path for his unpredictable speed; how could it not be astonishing that he had actually stopped moving?

"Since speed is not an effective way to win, then watch my attack!" the four Shadow Ghost Emperor said in unison.

A series of booming sounds rose and fell. As they spoke, the four Shadow Ghost Emperor formed hand seals, their fingers pointing straight to the sky, unleashing a surge of power that shot into the heavens...

As the Shadow Ghost Emperor moved, the sky within a radius of dozens of miles Sole Dominance Mountain turned crimson. Then, several light screens appeared, directly imprisoning the four Shadow Ghost Emperors and Mo Lingna within them. The crimson light screens were filled with an extremely hot aura.

"This? Could it be the Crimson Flame Purgatory?" The powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain whispered among themselves as they watched the Shadow Ghost Emperor's actions and the confinement formed by the several crimson light curtains.

Crimson Flame Purgatory is a relatively well-known Spell attack in the Asura Path. Anyone who has reached the level of Asura Emperor can cultivate it. It consists of six Flame curtains in four directions, plus the sky and the ground, which directly imprison the target. Then, within this imprisonment, Heavenly Fire surge up and burn the target. This is Crimson Flame Purgatory.

Right now, the Shadow Ghost Emperor has actually abandoned his most powerful speed and instead used the Crimson Flame Purgatory technique to deal with Mo Lingna? This is indeed beyond the expectations of all the experts of the Sole Dominance Mountain.

The Crimson Flame Purgatory Spell attacks, relying on brute force, are completely incompatible with the Shadow Ghost Emperor Asura Emperor, whose strength lies in speed and elusiveness. By doing so, wouldn't he be abandoning his advantages and instead using his disadvantages against his enemy?

"This Shadow Ghost Emperor is indeed a remarkable figure, daring to make such a choice. His audacity is truly impressive," the Purple Emperor remarked softly, his eyes filled with admiration and respect for the Shadow Ghost Emperor's actions.

The Shadow Ghost Emperor's decision to abandon his most proficient speed attacks and instead unleash his least effective wide-range Spell attacks was indeed unexpected. However, in the Purple Emperor's eyes, the Shadow Ghost Emperor's choice was correct.

Since speed is insufficient to defeat Mo Lingna, why not overwhelm her with brute force? Even though the Shadow Ghost Emperor's Spell attacks are not his forte, don't forget that Mo Lingna's cultivation level is merely that of Asura King. No matter how weak his skills are, Mo Lingna shouldn't be able to withstand these Spell attacks, right?

As expected, with the casting of Shadow Ghost Emperor's spell, the temperature within the space imprisoned by Crimson Flame Purgatory soared. In an instant, layers of fire waves, like a tsunami, could be seen raging within the space of Crimson Flame Purgatory. Such a terrifying Spell attack swept across the entire imprisoned space. The group attack Spell left Mo Lingna with no way to avoid it.

Although anyone who reaches the level of Asura Emperor can cultivate the Crimson Flame Purgatory, the Shadow Ghost Emperor is, after all, the best among the Asura Emperor. In addition, the Crimson Flame Purgatory is a joint creation of four Shadow Ghost Emperors. The scorching heat of the rolling fire waves within the purgatory is something that even a being at the Five Emperors level would not want to withstand head-on.

The Fish Demon Body was indeed unpredictable, and its movement within a small space was unparalleled. However, the Shadow Ghost Emperor had abandoned close-range attacks and unleashed a wide-range Spell attack that enveloped Zhuge Xiang. No matter how exquisite Mo Lingna's Fish Demon Body was, it was difficult for her to dodge. In the face of this rolling wave of fire, Mo Lingna's Fish Demon Body finally lost its effectiveness.

"Turtle Demon Armor!" Mo Lingna uttered a soft shout, and instantly a thick, deep turtle shell-like light appeared on her body, protecting Turtle Demon Armor. Mo Lingna immediately felt the erosion of the rolling flames subside considerably, but it was still unbearable. In this Crimson Flame Purgatory, if she couldn't break through, Mo Lingna would be burned to ashes by the Flame within two or three incense Crimson Flame Purgatory's time.

"No! If this continues, I'll surely die!" Feeling the rolling waves of fire penetrating the Turtle Demon Armor and causing her harm, Mo Lingna felt a deep sense of unease.

She hadn't expected that the Shadow Ghost Emperor would abandon his most effective close-combat speed attacks and instead use a move like Crimson Flame Purgatory to deal with her. However, she had to admit that the Shadow Ghost Emperor's unexpected move had precisely struck at Mo Lingna's weak point; her cultivation was only at the level of Asura King.

Zhuge Xiang frowned as he watched Mo Lingna being burned in the Flame of the Crimson Flame Purgatory.

Although the fusion with the Demon Bone greatly enhanced Mo Lingna's physical strength and increased her maximum HP by a full 500,000, the Crimson Flame Purgatory was a technique unleashed jointly by four Shadow Ghost Emperors. Furthermore, Mo Lingna wore no defensive equipment. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang could clearly see that Mo Lingna's HP was dropping by thousands every second.

Mo Lingna was well aware of her physical condition. She knew that if things continued this way, she would surely be burned to death by the Shadow Ghost Emperor's Flame. If she didn't want to die, then she had no choice but to do everything she could to break free from the Shadow Ghost Emperor's Crimson Flame Purgatory.

"It seems we have no choice but to use this..." The Crimson Flame Purgatory unleashed by the four Shadow Ghost Emperor together is not so easily broken. Mo Lingna's brows furrowed as she made a decision.

As the Flame burned, she flipped her fair hand, and some unknown powder appeared, which she then applied to her nails.

"Since you intend to unleash a wide-range Spell attack, then don't blame me for winning with a fast melee attack." Her fingernails were coated with poison powder, and then Mo Lingna unleashed her Fox Demon Step with incredible speed, appearing in front of one of the Shadow Ghost Emperor. She extended her Eagle Demon Claw, the Poison Tempering Eagle Demon Claw reaching out to grab her opponent.

"A cornered beast's struggle!" The Shadow Ghost Emperor, who was being attacked, said calmly, watching Mo Lingna's attack.

As he spoke, he stopped controlling Crimson Flame Purgatory, his weapon flashed out, and he charged forward. Mo Lingna was just one person; if she charged at him, he would fight her. Even if the other three joined forces and continued to use Crimson Flame Purgatory, it would still be beyond Morina's ability to withstand.
