Terrifying the Deities into Retreat
The Demon-Slaying Formation was fully activated, and divine light enveloped the area.
At that moment, a chilling wind howled, and an eerie aura emanated from the ashen-faced old ghost, chilling him to the bone.
Everyone was utterly shocked!
"There really are ghosts!"
"How terrifying!"
"Fortunately, the Great Sects were prepared!"
Everyone started to speak.
Upon seeing this, Gu Changfeng, Mo Xuan, and the others were overjoyed!
The old ghost has indeed arrived and is already inside the Ghost-Slaying Formation; there's absolutely no way he can escape.
"I knew long ago that there was an old ghost behind you, Mu Wanqing. Today, you will all die!"
Gu Changfeng sneered.
Mu Wanqing, however, was even more bewildered.
What the heck is this?
Both she and Ziling were somewhat confused about the situation.
Gu Changfeng, however, had already shouted:
"Slay this demon!"
"Activate the formation!"
In an instant, countless divine lights intertwined, and the Divine Spirit Incarnation the two sculptures at the center of the altar transformed into were over ten feet tall. At this moment, their divine power blasted towards the old ghost!
"The evil spirits shall be vanquished!"
The two Deity' cold words suddenly rang out!
However, two beams of green light suddenly shot out from the old ghost's eyes.
"A mere wandering spirit dares to act so arrogantly?"
His pale, withered hand suddenly clenched.
In an instant, the sky darkened, the divine light vanished, and the entire area seemed to have turned into the Netherworld Ghost Realm because of his grab.
Everyone was terrified, and the array controllers standing at the various array points were coughing up blood and their faces were pale!
The two Divine Spirit Incarnation were utterly shocked.
"No... such a powerful evil force!"
"Invincible!"
The two Divine Spirit Incarnation panicked and attacked with all their might.
However, as the cold wind passed by, the two sculptures cracked open.
Boom!
The statue of the Deity instantly turned to dust.
Destroyed!
These two Deity bodies, the core of the Demon-Slaying Formation, were instantly destroyed, and the Demon-Slaying Formation was completely wiped out.
"No!"
"How is this possible!"
"Even with the combined Divine Spirit Incarnation and the Demon-Slaying Formation, this old ghost still can't be subdued?"
Mo Xuan and the others were terrified; this old ghost's strength was simply too great!
"Quickly, quickly, invite the High God! Has the High God arrived yet?"
Some even cried out in despair.
"Please High God, save me!"
Qingyang Sect, Gu Changfeng, and others all cried out in terror.
And at this moment.
In the Eastern Wasteland wilderness, two figures approached side by side.
One of them had green ripples shimmering around him, while the other wore a black robe and had a gaunt face.
Their aura was extraordinary, and auspicious clouds surrounded them.
These are two Deity!
"Brother Lüyang, this year's festival of worshiping the gods will allow us both to advance our cultivation further."
The Deity, dressed in a black robe, smiled slightly, his face filled with anticipation.
All the offerings of believers are temporarily stored in the statues of the deities, which they then collect during the Feast Day.
"Of course, but the most important thing is the matter entrusted to us by the 'Xun Yuan True God.' If we can accomplish it, the two of us can even directly receive divine blessings, obtain 'Fruit Position,' and enter the divine realm!"
Green Sun's eyes burned with passion.
--The two of them have already been revered as High God in the Great Ruin Realm.
But that was just a respectful title used by ordinary cultivators.
They're nothing but wandering spirits!
Although the wandering deity has touched upon the realm of the divine, he has not yet attained "Fruit Position).
The path of cultivating divinity is extremely difficult. In addition to one's own cultivation level, starting from the realm of true godhood, one also needs the recognition of the universe's Heavenly Dao!
Gaining recognition is equivalent to attaining Fruit Position.
There are two ways to attain Fruit Position.
One option is to go against the will of Heaven and "demand" or "seize" Fruit Position from the universe's Heavenly Dao. However, doing so is extremely dangerous and will bring about a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, almost certainly resulting in death for those who commit this offense!
Secondly, it was a gift from God!
The meaning of "divinely bestowed" is that a higher-level Deity can provide protection for a lower-level Deity, allowing them to avoid Heavenly Tribulation and attain their Fruit Position.
Cultivators who choose the first path are extremely rare. They only attempt it when they are desperate and have no other choice, and the outcome is often tragic.
Divine gifts are the choice of almost all wandering deities.
Seek the true God, serve Him, and receive divine gifts.
However, the realms one can reach through the divinely ordained path are limited. It is said that in some higher realms, certain rituals need to be completed in order to attain "Fruit Position"!
Those rituals were so mysterious that even low-level cultivators had never heard of them.
"The Xun Yuan True God has decreed that we must either find the so-called 'Ghost Lord' or obtain the 'Primal Dao principles' of the Great Ruin Realm before we can receive divine gifts... Both are very difficult!"
Xuan Yin sighed.
"Xun Yuan" is the true God they are following.
"Yes, the Great Ruin Realm is merely a Star Realm. Throughout history, the strongest beings have only been wandering gods. It is extremely difficult for ghosts to be born..."
Green Sun Wanderer spoke helplessly.
Not just anyone can become a ghost; it only happens when a powerful person falls from grace.
The weak? It's practically impossible to be a ghost.
The Great Ruin Realm probably doesn't even have a single ghost, let alone that so-called "Ghost Lord"?
In comparison, obtaining the Primal Dao principles is more likely to...
--When the Primal Dao principles of the universe evolve, a new world can be born.
It can be said that the Primal Dao principles are the foundation of every world.
"It's a pity that Yun Yang is too stubborn!"
Xuan Yin You Shen spoke.
Yun Yang is a wandering deity from the Yun family of Zhongzhou!
The Yun family is an ancient Godly Family throughout the entire Great Ruin Realm. It is said that the first Deity in the Great Ruin Realm came from the Yun family.
Therefore, the Yun family became the guardian Lineage of the Primal Dao principles.
Over the years, despite their threats and inducements, Yun Yang, the wandering god of the Yun family, has not agreed.
Furthermore, the Yun family even formed a marriage alliance with another Godly Family, the Zhan family, to counter Lu Yang and Xuan Yin, causing them considerable headaches.
"Enough. How easy is it to complete a task bestowed by a true god! The two of us should first absorb the incense offerings from this year's festival of worshipping the gods, so that we can achieve greater perfection in our wandering god realm."
Green Sun opened its mouth.
The two continued forward, riding the clouds at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived above the Three Divine Continents.
"Hmm? That's not right!"
Suddenly, Xuan Yin's expression changed, and he said:
"I feel... my Dharma body has shattered!"
It looked extremely ugly to him.
It should be understood that the offerings of incense from the world are stored in the statues of these deities.
But now he feels his Dharma body has shattered... all that incense and offerings have been wasted!
"Mine too... What happened?"
The High God Lu Yang's expression also changed drastically, and he said, "The ghostly energy below is so dense!"
"Could it be that ghosts have appeared in our realm?"
The two guardian deities exchanged a solemn glance and immediately descended!
The Three Divine Continents, the Altar of Worship.
The Deity bodies of the two deities shattered instantly.
An overwhelming sense of yin energy filled the Yin Qi, a chilling atmosphere pervaded the place!
Upon seeing that terrifying old ghost, Mo Xuan and the others were terrified!
"Trying to ambush me?"
"You think you're worthy?"
Gui Qi's face was full of anger. With a swipe of his ghostly claw, Gu Changfeng screamed and was grabbed by him.
He swallowed it whole.
Everyone was even more horrified.
"Spare me! Spare me!"
"Why hasn't the High God arrived yet!"
Mo Xuan and the others collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen.
The old ghost did not attack them again, but turned his head to look at the celestial horse Yin Spirit in the crystal cage.
That was his main purpose in coming here.
He was ready to take action.
But at this very moment...
Suddenly, a divine aura descended from the heavens!
"What kind of monsters are you, daring to wreak havoc in the Eastern Wasteland!"
"Court death!"
Two Deity roars echoed!
Two divine figures appeared in the sky.
The wandering god, Lü Yang, radiated a green light that made the heavens tremble.
The divine spirit wanders in the mysterious yin, its myriad rays of light resonating with the boundless Dao, Sacred and Supreme.
"The High God Lu Yang!"
"The High God Xuan Yin!"
"Help!"
The crowd cheered, as if they had seen a savior.
But at this moment, the old ghost merely raised his eerie eyes and glanced upwards.
"You mere wandering god, how dare you lay a hand on me?"
His eyes were filled with contempt and disdain!
Then, he opened his mouth and inhaled!
With this inhalation, a surge of Yin Qi erupted, distorting the very space!
In the sky, the two menacing Deity suddenly changed their expressions!
"No!"
At this moment, the High God Lu Yang felt his hair stand on end; he felt as if a ghost was choking him.
"My soul... he's sucking my divine soul?!"
Xuan Yin screamed in agony, his whole body convulsing and on the verge of convulsions!
At the same time, both of them felt their own spiritual power dissipating and being absorbed!
If this continues, the two wandering deities will likely perish in the blink of an eye.
"The Symbol of the True God!"
With a loud shout, Green Sun Wanderer crushed a jade talisman in his hand.
That was Xun Yuan True God Xunyuan, and at this moment it erupted with a dazzling divine light, instantly tearing through the void!
"Run!"
The Green Sun Wanderer and the Profound Yin Wanderer were like stray dogs, fleeing in panic, their figures disappearing from this part of the sky.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
The Deity... were so frightened they ran away?
