The Underworld River Water
Even without the advantage of the Nascent Soul Perfection and Yin Soil Yin Spring Ghost Lord, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, still possessed astonishing strength.
In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the Sword Qi of the Starfall Ghost King Sword had already spread like a torrential downpour, covering the entire Nether River Water and almost overwhelming the Yin Nether Ghost King.
Along the way, many ghosts collapsed and dissipated after brushing against the Sword Qi. An entire river area was quickly cleared, forcing the Yin Nether Ghost King to retreat to the Yinming Ghost City. He needed to rely on the Yin soil within the Yinming Ghost City to amplify the ghost energy in order to barely resist.
However, in reality, much of the Yin Earth energy within the Yinming Ghost City had already been depleted during the previous massive invasion by the Starfall Ghost Soldiers.
If the losses continue, it will be difficult to sustain this for long.
At this moment, the Yin Nether Ghost King was almost pushed to his limit.
If we go any further, we'll be forced to reveal all our cards and strength.
His eyes blazed with Ghost Fire, and with a roar, he quickly formed a hand seal and began to verbally curse.
"Soul Snatcher! If you don't act now, even I can't hold out any longer and will have to flee."
As soon as he finished speaking, several magical Law Treasure, resembling pitch-black triangles and black halos, flew out from his chest with a whoosh.
These black halos flashed with a spiritual light, linked together, and transformed into layers of eerie ghostly energy, surging and colliding in all directions.
The surrounding void was infected by this powerful ghostly energy, evolving into a series of ghostly, ethereal realms.
Deep within the many layers of territory, there were all sorts of eerie ghosts with various appearances and characteristics, and the figure of the Yin Nether Ghost King vanished into the midst of it all.
"The Yinming Ten Thousand Underworld Realm?"
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord grinned maliciously, "Let's see where you run to!"
He took a step forward, his sword technique changed, and the crown on his head burst forth with a cold light like a galaxy.
Boom--
A flash of cold light, and the sword's power surged forth.
More Starfall Ghost King Sword seemed to transform into countless cold stars, directly plunging into the domain of countless ghostly figures.
A series of loud, rapid explosions rang out, and ghostly figures and the collapse of domains were seen.
At this moment, a voice transmission from Zhu Xun reached the ears of the Yin Nether Ghost King was hidden in a realm of countless ghostly shadows.
"Yinming, if you can't force Xingluo to reveal his weakness, what kind of opportunity is it? If you want to escape, then escape. This is your only chance to kill Xingluo!"
Damn it!
The already ferocious face of the Yin Nether Ghost King became even more hideous.
Suddenly gritting his teeth, he telepathically transmitted the message that the 'Grim Ghost General' who was lying in ambush in Starfall Ghost City had made his move.
Almost simultaneously.
He let out a wild howl, and as he inhaled sharply, a bead of red blood appeared in his throat.
This bead spins rapidly, radiating light and releasing an astonishing suction force.
The surrounding areas, filled with ghostly figures, rapidly collapsed and were sucked into his gaping maw.
In an instant, ten thousand ghosts roared in unison.
In the blink of an eye, the Yin Nether Ghost King's entire body surged with ghostly energy, growing larger with the wind, transforming into a colossal ghostly form resembling High Antiquity deity. Its terrifying aura rose wildly, instantly covering the surrounding River Styx.
Countless ghostly figures, including the Starfall Ghost King Sword and the Water of the Underworld River, were swallowed into his mouth, quickly forming a powerful vortex of energy that was terrifying in its power.
"Yinming Ghost Body?"
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's expression changed drastically. At that very moment, he received a message that the Starfall Ghost City had been attacked, and his mind was slightly distracted.
"Roar!!--"
The Yin Nether Ghost King's eyes flashed with ferocity as he spewed out a rapidly gathering vortex of air from his gaping maw.
Boom!--
A Qi Pillar as thick as a mountain, like a crimson lightning bolt, tore through the Water of the Underworld River. Rolling black clouds formed from the ghostly energy surged and churned, then stirred up terrifying waves.
"Soul Snatcher! Longevity Sect Leader! Why aren't you making a move!?"
With a roar, the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord swiftly formed a hand seal, and a black sphere erupted from the Starfall Crown atop his head, crackling with intense lightning—it was Yin Thunder.
The lightning quickly covered the entire body of the black armor.
A loud "clang!" rang out!
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord was blasted away, leaving a long trail in the River Styx.
"Now!"
Human Heart Hall, Chen Dengming snorted coldly, his eyes radiating a fierce and bright light, transmitting a powerful mental force.
"Starfall! I'm here to help you!!"
The Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun each other's thoughts, swiftly flew out of the hiding place, and in the instant of transmitting his voice, pulled back the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff.
Having received the spiritual power transmitted from Chen Dengming, the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff seemed to have found its true master, resonating and connecting as if they were Flesh and Blood, bursting forth with a dazzling light.
Buzz!--
As the bowstring was fully drawn, a Nascent Soul Soul Arrow swiftly materialized.
Above the arrowhead, wisps of ghostly energy swirled and spun, revealing the ferocious, roaring face of the Hall Master of Freedom, while the arrow feathers emitted an eerie, malevolent light.
Whoosh!
An arrow was shot!
The vast Soul Power surged forth in all directions like a raging torrent, intimidating the ghosts.
"Good!!" The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, his body tumbling in the chaotic river water, barely managed to stabilize himself. Witnessing this astonishing arrow, he immediately cheered.
Buzz!--
The arrow's energy surged terrifyingly in all directions, radiating intense light, fierce and sharp.
This arrow was incredibly swift, cleaving through the River Styx and piercing through in a single strike.
Before Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's astonished eyes, the weapon instantly pierced through Starfall Ghost Lord's protective armor and struck the surface of the armor fiercely.
Clang!
Rings of light erupted from the armor, creating a resounding booming sound that blocked the sharp arrowheads of the soul arrows.
But in that instant, the arrow vanished into nothingness, piercing through the armor and striking the ghostly body of the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord.
A sharp, stinging pain was felt.
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's Soul Body trembled, and extremely powerful ghost energy erupted from his body, preventing the soul arrow from penetrating further. Suddenly, he let out an incredulous roar.
"Soul Snatcher, how dare you attempt to assassinate me!!"
"Noisy!"
A blindingly bright Silver Light suddenly surged from the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow, transforming into Chen Dengming's imposing face. His white hair danced in the air, and his eyes suddenly burst forth with a cold silver radiance containing a powerful mental force.
"The Longevity Sect Leader!"
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's double pupils contracted, his heart trembled, and a surge of intense anger rose from the depths of his heart.
But at this moment, Chen Dengming's fierce mental power pierced straight into the depths of Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's mind, transforming into two lightning talismans.
Boom!!
The power of his mind was like two thunderbolts exploding, shaking endlessly. Instantly, it transformed into a persistent roar in the mind of the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, rumbling and echoing, causing his mind to go blank and his Ghost Body, which was sinking in the River Styx, to stiffen.
"Good! Soul-Snatching Ghost King, you have indeed not disappointed me!"
The Yin Nether Ghost King was overjoyed. His tense mind immediately relaxed, and he took action.
Its enormous, mountain-like ghostly form sped past, stirring up the Nether River Water, and its massive ghostly claws roared past, viciously grabbing at the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord.
"Choke--"
The Starfall Ghost King Sword possessed astonishing spiritual power, immediately protecting itself. Countless tiny sword droplets, resembling schools of fish, converged into a stream, tracing trajectories as they rushed past, like a surging torrent crashing into the bridge.
"Clang clang clang clang--"
Countless sword blades, some slashing diagonally, moved gracefully like startled swans, others like swimming dragons, sometimes gathering, sometimes scattering, fiercely cutting and stabbing against the howling giant ghost claw, colliding in the River Styx and creating intense metallic tremors that rippled outwards in concentric circles.
"Roar--"
The Yin Nether Ghost King roared, his aura suddenly changed, and his power instantly surged to its peak, revealing an astonishing spiritual might comparable to Nascent Soul Perfection at the peak of his cultivation.
Its enormous demonic claw neither dodged nor evaded; instead, its wrist spun rapidly, transforming into an iron fist that knocked away the flying swords.
"Roll!!"
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord suddenly regained his senses and roared angrily.
An unfathomable aura emanated from its fanged maw, transforming into a fragmented ruler that flashed with dazzling light, and shot out with lightning speed.
The moment the broken ruler appeared, the [Liangyuan] immortal seal on it flashed with spiritual light.
The Water of the Underworld River in all directions suddenly fell into a state of stillness, as if frozen inch by inch, like candle wax dripping from a candle, or like ice flowers, shimmering with a dazzling light after solidification.
"The Ghost Emperor Liang Yuan Ruler? How did this artifact end up in your hands?"
The Yin Nether Ghost King roared in astonishment, his massive body seemingly frozen in place at the same moment, his movements slow and sluggish, only able to watch helplessly as the broken ruler hurtled towards him.
A powerful threat arose from the depths of my soul.
But at that moment, the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's expression changed drastically. He keenly sensed that all the little ghosts who were monitoring the Longevity Sect Leader's clone had lost contact with him.
A very ominous premonition suddenly welled up in my heart.
"Clang--"
In that instant, the Measuring Ruler landed on the armor protecting the Yin Nether Ghost King's body. The armor quickly became bright, but soon it was as if a layer of floating ice had been frozen on it, with ice shards forming intertwined.
"Soul Snatcher!!"
The Yin Nether Ghost King let out a long howl as if pleading for help, his eyes bursting with intense scarlet light, and white bone lotus flowers suddenly appeared beneath his feet.
The lotus flower supported her body as she struggled to retreat.
A surge of immense power, like the rolling Yangtze River, surged forth from within the lotus, disintegrating the power of the Abyss Ruler that was suppressing and freezing the chest, creating tiny shockwaves.
Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord was about to give chase, a deafening tiger roar suddenly echoed from afar.
The arrow flew like a streak of light, a white tiger arrow formed from condensed Silver Light, its momentum overwhelming, roaring as it charged forward, its intense killing intent pressing in, making one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave!
The Four Symbols Divine Arrow – White Tiger Kill Arrow!
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's expression turned cold, his eyes filled with boundless resentment.
From this arrow, he once again sensed the Daoist power and mental strength of the Longevity Sect Leader.
Betray!
He viewed it as a complete and utter betrayal!
"A child destined for longevity!!"
With a furious roar, the Measuring Abyss Ruler shone brightly once more, suddenly splitting into many illusory images that transformed into even more giant rulers filled with suppressive power, like walls of city walls, intercepting the incoming White Tiger Kill Arrow.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--
The surging Water of the Underworld River trembled violently, then froze after the giant ruler's phantom image passed by, resembling frozen ice flowers.
The White Tiger Kill Arrow, roaring and charging in, was like a small insect caught in a raging torrent. In the frozen River Styx, it painstakingly plowed a clear mark, and the Dao power condensed in the arrow gradually peeled away and dissipated.
However, with this buffer, the pressure on the Yin Nether Ghost King was greatly reduced.
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, however, experienced a surge in pressure and a severe depletion of his Soul Power.
Seeing that the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun had drawn his bow again in the distance, a sense of urgent crisis, as if his mind was locked on, surged into his heart, and the hateful face of Chen Baimao involuntarily appeared in his mind.
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord felt a tremor in his heart.
If the opponent were to fire another arrow with the same destructive power, even with the ability of the Measuring Abyss Ruler, he would find it difficult to defend against it and would likely have all his defenses breached.
The Measuring Ruler in his hand was, in the end, just a broken Dao artifact that he had obtained by chance, not a complete Dao artifact that could unleash its full power.
"This is bad. It's a conspiracy. Let's retreat first, go back to Starfall Ghost City, and settle accounts with them later!"
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord suddenly calmed down; all his anger vanished in that instant, replaced by reason.
However, just as he moved...
An invisible and immense force permeated all the Nether River Water in all directions, making the atmosphere oppressive and restless.
Xingluoyin Guijun suddenly felt an endless pressure pouring down on him.
He seemed to be suddenly enveloped by his own measuring ruler, his entire body suppressed.
At the same time, a sound like rolling thunder and ghostly howls rapidly approached from afar, and the closer it got, the greater the pressure became.
The Water of the Underworld River from all directions were affected by this invisible pressure, boiling and turning into a pot of boiling muddy water.
All of this is a long story, but in reality it is nothing more than a fleeting moment of emotional experience.
Who is this deity?
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord suddenly turned his head and saw a soul chariot approaching from not far away.
On the Soul Chariot stood a towering, three-zhang-tall Blue Giant with eyes like bottomless abysses, flashing with a cold blue light. Just by standing quietly on the Soul Chariot, the aura emanating from him was enough to make people tremble with fear.
The giant's familiar face, along with the several smaller clones scattered around him, instantly reignited the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's anger, which had already calmed down. He roared and made hand seals.
"Deception! Deception! More deception! This is outrageous!"
The Starfall Ghost King Sword instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, tearing through the river, its Sword Qi like a raging ocean tide, carrying a chilling aura capable of crushing everything in its path.
In that very instant.
Human Heart Hall, Chen Dengming's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he let out a low shout.
"Go!"
The Incense Clone instantly burst out of the soul carriage.
The moment he opened his arms, two shimmering Heart of the Ocean appeared between his brows, and he instantly merged into the already boiling Water of the Underworld River.
Order Wan Shui!
Boom!--
Suddenly, the vast expanse of the Water of the Underworld River seemed like countless roaring Flood Dragon, rushing and converging towards one spot, stirring up large amounts of pebbles that floated off the riverbed and quickly coalesced into an enormous Styx giant.
The Yin Nether Ghost King Ghost Body was equally enormous, was startled and felt as if facing a formidable enemy. He sensed a strong sense of crisis from this suddenly appearing behemoth.
The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord felt an even greater increase in pressure.
The suppression of this Nether River Water by the Measuring Abyss Ruler is on the verge of collapse.
At this moment!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
The Styx Riverbed trembled violently. The giant, formed from Chen Dengming's Incense Clone, took a stride of over a hundred feet each time. With each step, the rocks at the bottom of the river were shattered into dust, and shockwaves exploded outwards, creating a massive spectacle, like a natural disaster.
Facing the wildly spinning and assassinating Starfall Ghost King Sword!
The Incense Clone threw a single punch, its entire body radiating a dazzling blue light, and its immense Law Power reverberated in the waves.
Despite the sword tip trembling like a flower in the void, this punch seemed to strike straight at the heart of the enemy, rushing forward in unison, vast and mighty, blasting countless flying swords away like carp crossing a river.
Clang!--
The Measuring Abyss Ruler could no longer suppress this body of water and could not simultaneously subdue the three powerful figures. It was suddenly flung away and was urgently summoned back to the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, forming a circle of light waves to block it.
With a clang!
The Incense Clone's punch, heavy enough to shatter mountains, landed squarely on the ring of light formed by the Measuring Abyss Ruler, without any fancy moves.
Under the immense force of the impact, the Measuring Abyss Ruler wailed and flew backward.
It slammed heavily onto the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord.
The Ghost King Armor immediately collapsed with a metallic crackling sound.
A terrifying shockwave spread out across the River Styx, whipping up vast amounts of silt and rubble that scattered like a storm.
Many of the Ghost Soldiers and ghost cultivators who had already retreated to a distance of more than ten miles were all screaming as their souls were shattered.
The entire ghost body of the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord was almost forcibly shaken out of the Ghost King Armor. Before he could even scream, the sense of urgency of his mind being locked on grew stronger and closer.
The Soul Reaping Arrow strikes again.
