Mountains and rocks shattered, and the earth trembled.
The massive roar completely buried the originally elegant small courtyard. The Main Soul, Blood Beard, controlled a full four hundred Fierce Ghosts to merge into one, forming a colossal ghost creature that had long surpassed the Foundation Establishment early stage realm.
Blood Beard punched repeatedly at the spot where the strange young man had stood before. With each punch, eerie ghost energy followed, and fierce, hidden malevolent energy shot straight into the night sky.
As soon as the fight began, Lu Yan had shown weakness, seemingly only sending out two hundred Fierce Ghosts.
But under the cover of the eerie Ghost Mist, Lu Yan secretly dispatched a large number of Fierce Ghosts to merge into this Ghost Domain, waiting for the right moment.
Lu Yan's Mid-Stage Qi Refinement cultivation was too deceptive. Being able to control the Hundred Soul Banner with Mid-Stage Qi Refinement cultivation was already enough to be called exceptionally gifted.
And commanding two hundred Fierce Ghosts was already considered a decent quality for a Hundred Soul Banner.
No one would have expected that the Hundred Soul Banner controlled by a mere Mid-Stage Qi Refinement cultivator would have eight hundred Fierce Ghosts, and that its Main Soul could even make numerous Fierce Ghosts merge into one.
It was precisely this crucial hidden trump card, concealed by Lu Yan, that erupted with surprising effectiveness at the moment of engagement.
Under the repeated bombardment of the Blood Beard Giant Ghost's fists, the strange young man's hastily used Red Lotus Protection Spell had long since shattered. Even a High-Grade Magic Tool in the shape of an umbrella was eroded by the Ghost Mist and lost all its spirituality.
Spirit Talismans were destroyed by the Blood Beard Giant Ghost as soon as they were activated. The strange young man was unable to make any effective counterattack under this barrage of attacks.
"Damn it! You are truly damned!"
The strange young man's eyes were bloodshot, and the arrogant feeling of having everything under control from before was gone.
Letting out an angry roar, the blood-colored magic robe on the strange young man billowed, and he actually gave up on using spells to resist.
"Boom!"
The Blood Beard Giant Ghost's fist fell mercilessly. The blood-colored lotus flower inscribed on the strange young man's magic robe bloomed. The seemingly delicate petals actually blocked the Blood Beard Giant Ghost's blow.
The next moment, a blood-colored spiritual light flashed, and a strange flying sword in the shape of a barb shot out from the strange young man's Storage Bag, directly piercing towards Lu Yan, who was several hundred meters away.
"This giant ghost creature can block my attacks, but what can you, a mere Mid-Stage Qi Refinement ant, use to block?"
The blood-colored sword light arrived in the blink of an eye, but Lu Yan showed no panic. A huge ghost creature had already stood in front of Lu Yan. It was Lu Yan's first Main Soul Warrior.
Talent Spell · Ghost Armor Art!
A Fierce Ghost flew out from the Ghost Mist, its body radiating a cold, black iron light, causing converging armor to attach to these soul bodies, actively meeting the blood-colored flying sword.
The flying sword instantly pierced through the Fierce Ghost. The tortoise shell on it shattered, taking the fatal damage for the Fierce Ghost, allowing it to barely survive.
A Mid-Stage Qi Refinement Fierce Ghost could not stop the blood-colored flying sword at all. The sword light's momentum did not decrease in the slightest as it pierced towards Lu Yan. However, the next moment, over a hundred Fierce Ghosts with Ghost Armor Art actively met the flying sword.
One Fierce Ghost was insignificant, but what about ten, twenty, or even nearly a hundred?
The Ghost Armor Art resisted most of the damage, the eerie ghost energy weakened the flying sword's spirituality, and the Fierce Ghosts with shattered soul bodies squeezed their soul power without hesitation to interfere with the flying sword.
After consecutively piercing through forty-one Fierce Ghosts, the flying sword finally lost all momentum and fell.
Seeing this scene, the strange young man's expression was dull, his face full of disbelief. However, what greeted him was another punch from the Blood Beard Giant Ghost.
The protective spell inscribed on the magic robe was declared shattered, and the vast soul power and eerie ghost energy completely submerged the strange young man.
Looking at the battlefield from afar, Lu Yan frowned slightly, a sense of vigilance secretly rising in his heart.
He was very sure that the strange young man's methods were definitely not limited to this, because he still possessed the most important High-Grade spell from the Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra that he had not used.
The next second, within the deep pit ruins created by the Blood Beard Giant Ghost, a crimson flame suddenly rose, igniting the Blood Beard Giant Ghost's palm and rapidly spreading throughout its body.
High-Grade Spell - Red Lotus Karma Fire!
The crimson inferno instantly engulfed the Blood Beard Giant Ghost. Following this, all the Fierce Ghosts let out trembling roars, and their massive bodies collapsed with a crash.
The eerie young man flew out of the giant pit, covered in dirt. His Red Lotus magic robe was already tattered. The continuous spells and the Red Lotus Karma Fire had consumed a large amount of his Mana. Especially the Blood Beard Giant Ghost's final blow had injured his soul.
Looking at Lu Yan, who was protected by the group of ghosts, the eerie young man knew very well that although the Red Lotus Karma Fire countered the Blood Beard Giant Ghost, his current state might not be enough to defeat Lu Yan, who was guarded by the group of ghosts. He could only reluctantly leave a harsh threat:
"Next time, I will definitely take your life!"
As his words fell, a crimson lotus platform appeared beneath the eerie young man's feet, carrying him away from the Ghost Domain.
"Don't wait for next time, stay here now!"
Layers of Ghost Mist parted, but a figure had already been waiting for a long time.
It was a ghost whose soul body had solidified into substance. Its body was not strong but carried an indescribable sense of weight. Its cultivation had surprisingly reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Looking at the eerie young man attempting to break through the Ghost Domain, this ghost slowly extended its right hand.
As the hand extended, the originally normal-sized right hand began to grow rapidly. Ghost Qi swirled within its palm, seemingly encompassing the area where the eerie young man was escaping.
No! Not just the hand!
Under the eerie young man's shocked gaze, this ghost, which was originally less than a zhang and in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, grew more than ten times larger, transforming into a massive giant like a small mountain.
This was precisely the third Main Soul refined by Lu Yan the Zombie King. Its gigantification talent had also become the Main Soul's Talent Spell, Giant God!
Lu Yan named it: Giant Spirit!
The Giant Spirit's hand flipped over. Where its palm fell, it seemed as if the entire Ghost Domain was encompassed within it. Several Spirit Talismans on the eerie young man's body instantly shattered, but it was all useless.
As the Giant Spirit's hand fell, the eerie young man's physical body was completely crushed.
"Damn it! Damn it!!!"
A white bell flew out from the shattered body, with a soul wrapped around it. Angry roars came from the soul's mouth.
The Ghost Domain was shrinking, and the other Fierce Ghosts were surrounding him. The eerie young man had nowhere left to escape.
"If I can't live, you won't have it easy either!"
His soul was almost instantly drained, transforming into a crimson curse that easily bypassed the protection of the numerous Fierce Ghosts and fell towards Lu Yan.
Second-Tier High-Grade Spell - Karma Soul Curse!
This was a mutual destruction spell of the Red Lotus Demonic Sect. The caster needed to sacrifice half of their soul. The Karma accumulated throughout their life would transform into a curse that would erode the enemy's soul. Even those with higher cultivation would find it difficult to make any progress while afflicted with Karma Entanglement.
And for the eerie young man, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to curse Lu Yan, a Mid-Stage Qi Refinement cultivator, there was absolutely no possibility of survival.
Moreover, unless protected by a Merit treasure, ordinary means could not resist this curse. And how could such a precious item as a Merit treasure appear on a mere...
The next second, the Divine Power protecting its master was triggered. In the void, the Xuanhuang Merit fire illuminated all directions, manifesting illusory figures of the Zhou Tian Gods. The majestic and righteous aura instantly suppressed the terrifying Netherworld Ghost Domain.
And the Karma Soul Curse that had reached Lu Yan's vicinity, like a moth flying into a flame, vanished into thin air under the light of Merit.
