The Six Great Ghost Lords! Sun Moon Universe Seal Breaks the City
"The Ghost Realm has long since fallen into decline. The Ghost Emperor is no more, and the Ghost Lord have taken the throne. The Netherworld Ghost Lord, the Nine Nether Ghost Lord Underworld Ghost Lord, and the Underworld Ghost Lord are the four most senior Ghost Lord in the Ghost Realm."
Among the four great Ghost Lord, there is also the Styx Ghost Lord, but this Ghost Lord has not reappeared in the world for over five hundred years. He and his most mysterious Styx Ghost City have hidden themselves in the vast Styx River, and no one can find him."
Ghost Chariot, Zhu Xun eloquently, explaining to everyone the current state of the Ghost Realm and the enemies they needed to be wary of—information that Chen Dengming already knew beforehand.
"These four Ghost Lords all possess strength at the late or even peak of the Spirit Transformation, making them extremely powerful within their Ghost Cities."
In addition, the Ghost Realm also has two New Life Ghost Lord in the last few hundred years: the Undying Ghost Lord and the Interminable Ghost Lord, both possessing the strength of the early or middle stages of the Spirit Transformation.
"So, besides these six Nascent Soul Ghost Lords who need to be watched, there are no other threats within the Ghost Realm?"
Dongfang Huayuan crossed his arms and asked.
Zhu Xun pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Senior Dongfang is right. Even if there are some powerful Yin Spring Ghost Lord, they can temporarily unleash power comparable to a Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord by taking advantage of the Ghost City and Yin Spring as their terrain."
However, if these Yin Spring Ghost Lord leave their own ghost cities to come and aid the Netherworld Ghost Lord, they will be unable to contend with the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord.
"Very good!" The Divine Turtle Dao Lord smiled, stroked his beard, and nodded.
The others exchanged glances and nodded in satisfaction, confirming that the situation was largely as Chen Dengming had described before inviting them.
Of the six transformed ghost lords, only five require attention. The oldest, the Styx Ghost Lord, is missing and his fate is unknown.
Unlike the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord in the Human World, the Spirit Transformation Cultivators are safest when they stay in their own Ghost Cities.
Therefore, they rarely leave their own ghost towns and gather together.
Under such circumstances, even if the Netherworld Ghost Lord did receive some news or manage to invite some reinforcements, the number of people involved should not be too large, and they would not pose a fatal threat to the group.
As everyone discussed the matter, the Ghost Chariot sped off at breakneck speed, heading straight for the Netherworld Ghost City.
With the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun, the Ghost King, clearing the way, everyone's Life Force was concealed by the aura of the Netherworld, so naturally no flaws were revealed along the way.
Inside the Ghost City of the Underworld.
The gaunt-faced and slender Netherworld Ghost Lord emerged from the Yin Earth Ghost Tomb and sat on a massive throne over a hundred feet high deep within the Ghost Palace, exuding an aura of solemnity.
Beneath its enormous throne, a group of ghost kings and ghost generals sat or prostrated themselves, many of whom had only recently joined its ranks.
A little imp with a face as white as snow flew swiftly in from outside the mansion and prostrated himself below the platform to report.
"Your Ghost Lord, so far no Human World cultivators have been found within a radius of ten thousand miles. However, a Soul-Searching Ghost King is on his way. He has heard of Your Ghost Lord's great reputation and wishes to come and pledge allegiance!"
"Oh?"
The Netherworld Ghost Lord slightly raised his eyes and asked, "Is this Soul-Snatching Ghost King from Starfall Ghost City?"
"Your Majesty, the Soul-Seizing Ghost King does indeed come from Starfall Ghost City. He once joined forces with the Yin Nether Ghost King to seize Starfall Ghost City from Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord."
As a result, in recent years, the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord returned and killed the Yin Nether Ghost King, but left only the Soul-Snatching Ghost King alive. Now it seems that the Soul-Snatching Ghost King has also been driven away.
At this moment, the other ghost kings and ghost generals who had submitted to the king, despite feeling threatened by the Soul-Seizing Ghost King, immediately seized the opportunity to flatter him, mentioning that the Netherworld Ghost Lord's power intimidated the ghost realm and that all ghosts came to pay homage.
The Netherworld Ghost Lord pondered for a moment, but did not suspect anything.
Even with his extensive experience, he would find it hard to believe that a Ghost King could have been personally nurtured by a cultivator from the Human World.
However, being cunning and shrewd, he still issued an order, "Order the Soul-Snatching Ghost King to remain temporarily at the Underworld Continent and await my summons."
Furthermore, I hereby authorize the monitoring of all Yin Springs. Any movement by any Yin Spring in the next few days must be reported immediately!
"Yes!"
After the little devil withdrew, the Netherworld Ghost Lord slowly rose and paced back and forth on the high platform, lost in thought. Thinking of the mysterious cultivator in the Human World who had warned him, he couldn't help but feel uneasy and said coldly.
"Can the Underworld Ghost Lord and the Nine Nether Ghost Lord now set off?"
A Nascent Soul Ghost King, dressed in black robes of the Impermanence, stood below the high platform. He slowly raised his head, revealing a ferocious ghost eye beneath his hood, and gazed into the distance before speaking slowly.
"Your Majesty! The Nine Nether Ghost Lord and the Underworld Ghost Lord have left their ghost cities, but I cannot see where they are now."
"Two old foxes!"
Impatience flickered in the ghostly eyes of the Netherworld Ghost Lord, and a strange irritation rose in his heart. He became wary, a sign of his suspicious nature.
However, this innate quality has rarely reappeared since he became the Ghost Lord.
The fact that it has now been born suggests that a crisis may be approaching, yet he has not yet identified it.
He suddenly waved his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "Nine Bells! I order you to lead the Five Ghost Generals to quickly investigate the whereabouts of the Your Majesty in the Human World. I suspect that they have already infiltrated, and that Senluo has concealed their presence!"
"Yes!"
The Ghost King, dressed in black robes of the Impermanence, immediately appeared.
From among the crawling ghosts in the main hall below, five Golden Core ghost generals, each no bigger than a fist, flew out with eerie cries, exuding a chilling aura.
Ghost King Jiuling flicked a whisk in her hand and, with a series of hand seals, began to search using the Five Ghosts Soul-Locking Technique.
The five ghosts immediately circled his body once, then flew off in five different directions with strange cries.
Ghost King Jiuling's figure instantly transformed into five ghostly shadows, which vanished in a flash.
More than 5,000 miles away.
Zhu Xun's group of subordinates drove the Ghost Chariot swiftly and rapidly forward.
However, at the Underworld Continent, only five thousand miles from the Netherworld Ghost City, they were intercepted by the patrolling ghost cultivators of the Netherworld Ghost City.
"Brother Chen, what do we do now? The Netherworld Ghost Lord me to stay here and await a summons. Should we attack now or..."
Ghost Chariot, Chen Dengming raised his hand to stop Zhu Xun from speaking, stood up and smiled, "Old Zhu, you should go back now. There's no need to stay here. We'll handle the rest ourselves."
Zhu Xun's Ghost Body trembled, and he looked at Chen Dengming before nodding solemnly.
Chen Dengming looked at Dongfang Huayuan and the others, and said, "It seems that the Netherworld Ghost Lord is already on high alert. Everyone, we must set off now and make sure to finish this quickly!"
"Good!"
Everyone stood up, their expressions solemn and their faces grim.
"Walk!"
Chen Dengming took a step forward, his figure flashing out like lightning, tearing through a patch of ghostly energy in an instant, breaking through multiple sound barriers and disappearing into the distance.
Below the Yin Spring, the Five Phases Spiritual Qi is extremely thin.
Even he could no longer easily use the Qi Escape Technique for long-distance teleportation.
Of course, the main reason is that the Spiritual Qi is thin, which slows down the casting speed, makes it slower to gather Spiritual Qi, and makes it easier to be interrupted.
Therefore, even though they had overcome the suppression of the Non-Self path Below the Yin Spring, they could not avoid the limitation of Spiritual Qi and could only fight with their own Law Power and Dao power, aiming for a quick victory.
At this moment, Chen Dengming and the others used their Divine Ability to quickly rush towards the Netherworld Ghost City.
The Netherworld Ghost Emperor, who was inside the Netherworld Ghost City, was also startled instantly. He sensed five powerful auras rapidly approaching the Netherworld Ghost City, and his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.
"Five Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord have appeared at once!"
The Netherworld Ghost Lord's expression was extremely serious. Seeing the chaos among the ghosts in the hall, he immediately shouted to stabilize the situation.
"All Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals, heed my command! Activate the Ghost City Formation at once!"
The ghosts composed themselves slightly and quickly obeyed the order.
Five Nascent Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord from the Human World stormed in, creating a truly terrifying scene, but the Netherworld Ghost Lord was no pushover either.
With the Ghost City at its disposal and the Ghost City Formation activated, it can be commanded by dozens of Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals, and tens of thousands of Ghost Cultivators can cooperate to protect the formation. Even if five Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord join forces, they may not be able to easily break through the Ghost City Formation.
As long as the Ghost City Formation can hold out for a while, the Nine Nether Ghost Lord and the Underworld Ghost Lord will surely arrive to provide assistance.
The numerous ghost kings and generals rallied their morale and fighting spirit, and quickly organized the ghost cultivators to activate the magnificent protective formation of the ghost city.
The Netherworld Ghost Lord remained solemn as he flew outside the hall. At that moment, the Nine-Bell Ghost King hurriedly followed the Five Ghosts back.
"Your Majesty, the Ghost Lord has discovered traces of Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord in the Human World."
"Shut up!"
The Netherworld Ghost Lord coldly shouted, waving his sleeve angrily, "Go immediately and summon the Undying and the Interminable Ghost Lord! Find them now! Otherwise, you don't need to come back!"
Upon hearing this, the Nine-Bell Ghost King looked horrified, but immediately gritted his teeth and accepted the order to carry it out.
The Netherworld Ghost Lord sensed the five rapidly approaching auras from afar, his face ashen.
With his wisdom, he had already figured out how these five people had arrived so quickly and silently; it must be related to the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord.
But even if they knew now, it was too late. The Nine Nether Ghost Lord and the Underworld Ghost Lord had not shown themselves for a long time, which must be because they wanted to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, but they would definitely not refrain from making a move.
"These two old foxes want to use this incident to destroy my ghost city, weaken my power, and then make their move."
The Netherworld Ghost Lord flew over the Ghost City, his cold, gaunt face turned towards the distance, rapidly gathering ghostly energy from all directions, preparing for battle.
Having roamed the underworld for many years, he possessed a keen understanding of the situation and the delicate relationships between all parties. Despite his alarm, he remained calm and quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages. He then sent a telepathic message ordering some of his trusted descendants and confidants to retreat immediately to preserve their power.
Just as he was completing a series of instructions, a deafening whooshing sound came from afar, and a strong sense of oppression spread over.
"They're here!"
"Hurry! Keep channeling ghostly energy into the great formation!"
On the ghost city, many ghost cultivators were extremely nervous and hurriedly channeled their ghost energy.
Many ghost cultivators were bewildered, only able to follow the ghost general's orders, not even understanding what was happening, only feeling intense and terrifying pressure coming from afar.
The Ghost City is too powerful. There has been no war near the Ghost City for many years, let alone any audacious individuals who would dare to invade it.
As a result, many ghost cultivators felt bewildered and terrified at this point.
Just then, several points of light emanating a terrifying aura appeared on the horizon ahead.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a silver spear, several dozen feet in diameter and as thick as lightning, hurtled towards them.
In an instant, it covered a distance of hundreds of miles.
Bang!
A tower outside the ghost town collapsed instantly, shattering and tearing the ground apart. Large amounts of powerful energy, like arcs of electricity or spider webs, spread rapidly outwards along the ground.
The spear struck the newly formed ghost city formation in the blink of an eye.
Thump!
The entire ghost city suddenly trembled violently, and the activated Formation barrier rippled and caved in.
Before the surrounding ghost soldiers could even struggle, their bodies shattered instantly, and their souls scattered.
Hundreds of ghost cultivators and several ghost generals were unable to dodge in time and met a similarly tragic end. Their Ghost Body, formed from Yin soil, shattered and were petrified, stuck to the ground, motionless.
"It's him."
The Netherworld Ghost Lord stared intently at Dongfang Huayuan, who had Dongfang Huayuan Silver Light giant over thirty feet tall in the distance. He recognized him at a glance, his expression calm and unwavering, as if he were completely indifferent to the deaths of thousands of Ghost Soldiers.
He certainly has the right to be indifferent.
At this moment, countless Ghost Soldiers poured out of the riverbed below the ghost city like water being released from a dam, quickly filling the gap that had just appeared above and continuing to maintain the stability of the great formation.
The lives of Ghost Soldiers are worthless.
Every year, countless true spirits within the River Styx give birth to new ghosts, and these new ghosts only need to be trained for a few years to become well-trained Ghost Soldiers.
The Netherworld Ghost City has tens of thousands of ghost cultivators, but tens of millions of Ghost Soldiers.
Therefore, even knowing that the city's protective formation could not stop the aggressive enemy, the Netherworld Ghost Lord was still willing to risk everything.
Under such circumstances, there was no other choice. Neither the Nine Nether Ghost Lord nor the Underworld Ghost Lord would make a move unless he paid a price.
At this point, the price he pays will also deplete the enemy's Law Power. Since the enemy has no advantage in terrain, they will definitely want a quick victory, but he will not let them have their way.
Boom boom boom--
Just then, the enormous silver spear, as thick as lightning, once again bombarded the Mountain Protecting Formation from multiple angles.
The spear beams, like giant dragons, rained down relentlessly, causing the entire ghost city to tremble and shake. The Formation flickered, displaying bizarre and colorful patterns, and countless ghost cultivators and Ghost Soldiers perished rapidly, their souls scattered.
The Netherworld Ghost Lord took a deep breath, and a pair of pitch-black, menacing armor quickly appeared on his body, covering his entire form, while the ghostly energy gathered around him rapidly surged.
His gaze sharpened as he looked at the five figures rapidly approaching in the distance. Ripples of ghostly energy surged around him, instantly condensing into several Law Treasure, which he unleashed simultaneously.
"Human World Spirit Transformation, get out of this realm of demons! This is not a place for your insolence!"
He roared, the sound carrying for hundreds of miles, and unleashed a series of Law Treasure, such as long whips, vicious scissors, and saw blades.
In the distance, Chen Dengming and four others dispersed and approached the Ghost City, simultaneously casting spells or unleashing Law Treasure to attack it.
Seeing the Netherworld Ghost Lord unleash his Law Treasure, Chen Dengming casually summoned the Sun Moon Universe Seal. His arm instantly entered the state of a half- Ancient Human Immortal Physique, his muscles bulging. He grabbed the Sun Moon Universe Seal and threw it forcefully.
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave exploded outwards, and the Sun Moon Universe Seal, like cannonballs, instantly created a crimson glow through high-speed friction in the air.
Dozens of miles can be covered in the blink of an eye.
The saw-shaped Law Treasure the Netherworld Ghost Lord had just unleashed had not yet shown its power when it was suppressed by the Mountains and Earth released from the surface of the Sun Moon Universe Seal, accompanied by a powerful impact and oppressive pressure.
With a clang, the saw blade shattered on the spot, its surface bursting with shimmering spiritual light, before it groaned and retreated back into the great formation.
"Well--"
The Netherworld Ghost Lord's other magical Law Treasure were also forced back into the city, suffering a silent loss.
"A brat from the Longevity Sect!"
He gave Chen Dengming a cold look, a chilling glint in his eyes, and let out a long howl.
"The Nine Netherworlds, the Underworld!!"
"Quickly defeat them! Break through the city and slay the demons!"
Chen Dengming let out a low shout, and his Dao body quickly flew closer. The closer he flew, the larger his body became, enveloped in dazzling Silver Light, and bursting into shockwaves in the air.
The next instant.
A colossal giant, over sixty feet tall and crackling with silver lightning, stood high in the sky, its terrifying aura intimidating all the ghosts and leaving countless ghost cultivators stunned and speechless.
Chen Dengming gripped the Sun Moon Universe Seal with one hand and clenched his fist tightly with the other.
Boom!
The air was crushed in his hand, producing a deafening roar like muffled thunder. The explosive force whipped up a gale, stirring up countless specks of dust.
Seeing that Dongfang Huayuan smashing through the entire ghost city like a bulldozer, making the great formation tremble, he laughed loudly and charged out as well.
"Cover our way as we breach the city!!"
He hurled the Sun Moon Universe Seal from a distance of several miles away.
With a loud "boom!"
The ghost city's Formation remained intact, but the towering city gate, several tens of feet high, was violently blasted open. Cracks spread across the sturdy gate passage, and dust and rubble rained down, killing many ghost cultivators behind the gate on the spot.
The next moment.
Chen Dengming's magnificent body charged forward like a giant mountain, unleashing an incomparably fierce and powerful punch that slammed into the Ghost City formation.
The great formation flickered wildly, and suddenly collapsed completely after another magic Law Treasure from Star Cloud Dao Lord and Dongfang Huayuan struck.
The city walls of the ghost city trembled violently, instantly becoming covered with spiderweb-like cracks in the blinding Silver Light. Large boulders fell, and half of the city wall was quickly held up by a giant hand before being lifted up and completely exposed.
At the same time, Chen Dengming's imposing figure burst in from behind the broken city gate.
He kicked away several frantically roaring ghost kings who charged forward fearlessly, and a terrifying Spirit Transmutation Spiritual Might emanated from his body. A strong, scorching flame quickly gathered in his eyes as he aimed at the Netherworld Ghost Lord was fighting the Five Elements Dao Lord in mid-air.
"Old Ghost of the Underworld! We meet again!"
The Netherworld Ghost King felt a chill run down his spine, sensing an extremely strong threat. His heart sank rapidly, and without hesitation, he prepared to cast a spell to escape completely.
Whoosh!!--
A scorching, fierce beam of light shot out from Chen Dengming's instantly bloodshot eyes, disappearing in a flash.
Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be ignited, leaving a trail of flames. The demon king blocking its path was pierced through and then burned to ashes.
At this tense and volatile moment, a sinister, icy, silver-white ghostly claw suddenly appeared out of thin air, as if reaching out from the deepest abyss, blocking the beam of light shooting towards the Netherworld Ghost Lord.
