Resisting the Deathly Qi

Outside the Great Ruin Realm.

A vast expanse of water, a sea of blood surging to the heavens.

The Dark Ghost Lord took the initiative and blocked the entire sea of blood hundreds of thousands of miles outside the Great Ruin Realm!

Deathly energy swept across the land, and endless resentment filled the air. Under the vast ocean of death, the Dark Ghost Lord was already seething with rage.

"Two blood demons, how dare you commit such an act of annihilation! I will surely destroy you!"

He charged into the deathly aura and resentment, his terrifying ghostly hand shaking the heavens, intent on annihilating the two blood demons hiding in the sea of blood.

"Hehe, brother, we've done our job, it's time to make a clean getaway."

Xue Jin sneered.

"Let's go. The Netherworld Origin has already merged with the endless death energy. This ghost will surely be infected and transformed into Nether Slave. Let him go and fight against those Deity!"

Xue Can did not hesitate either.

They unleashed their Demon Power, pushing boundless death energy and resentment to bombard the Dark Ghost Lord, before transforming into two streaks of blood-red light and swiftly departing!

The Dark Ghost Lord the two blood demons escape, but he was too busy to give chase.

--This vast ocean, containing the blood of all living beings from the four Star Wheels, was propelled tens of millions of miles through the starry sky by the two blood demons. Its inertia was immense, and in the blink of an eye, it would devour the entire Great Ruins Star Wheel.

"Throughout my Heavenly Darkness life, I have never been a burden to others..."

The Dark Ghost Lord roared, and suddenly, with boundless ghostly power, he conjured a gigantic ghost face under the starry sky.

The grotesque, furious face suddenly slapped its own mouth, swallowing the endless, surging death energy whole.

The Dark Ghost Lord unleashed his full power, devouring everything in his path!

The speed at which the blood-red ocean moved forward seemed to slow down by a fraction.

However, the Dark Ghost Lord soon realized something was wrong.

"The Netherworld Origin..."

His expression was rather unpleasant.

Within this endless deathly aura, the Netherworld Origin had already been spread by the two Blood Demons.

The Netherworld is not only renowned in the Demon Realm, but also has related legends in the ghost realm.

That's synonymous with chaos; Blood Demon Ghost crawl out of them, and each one will drive the world mad and twisted!

While the Netherworld Origin cannot be compared to the terrifying substance of Calamity Grey Mist, it is still one of the most feared evil entities in the world.

Once tainted, only those who have severed their "three corpses" (body, spirit, and mind) can possibly preserve their original nature.

As the endless death energy was refined by the Dark Ghost Lord, his aura surged wildly, but at the same time, the desire for killing and destruction also continued to accumulate in his heart.

"Star Annihilation Divine Monarch... is it you, you despicable villain?"

He spoke in a cold voice, and at that moment, he seemed to have understood the purpose of this conspiracy.

The other party is going to great lengths to turn me into a killer and a destroyer.

To turn oneself... into a pawn?

"No... it's not Xingmie, it's someone else!"

He clenched his teeth. Star Annihilation Divine Monarch had already attained enlightenment, so this ceremony must be prepared for other god-level figures.

"You orchestrated my escape from the seal back then, making me help your people complete another ritual?"

The Dark Ghost Lord's eyes were filled with resentment; he understood everything, and his hatred was insane.

His wisest course of action now is to flee.

Only by escaping this deathly aura tainted by the Netherworld Origin and preserving one's true nature can one avoid becoming a pawn.

As soon as this thought arose, the ghostly face he conjured became somewhat weak, as if it could not withstand the impact of the endless death energy.

But, at that very moment...

On his forehead, four vermilion characters shone brightly!

"Be a good ghost!"

Upon hearing these four words, the Dark Ghost Lord immediately felt his murderous and twisted thoughts being suppressed.

"This..."

The Dark Ghost Lord was immediately alarmed. The four words the Tooth Extraction Monster had written for him actually had such a miraculous effect?

At that moment, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at the Great Ruin Realm behind him!

The being who lives in seclusion in the Great Ruin Realm is terrifying!

Did he actually foresee this calamity and write four Life-Saving Talisman for himself?

"What do I have to fear Heavenly Darkness!"

At that moment, his confidence soared, and he devoured everything in sight!

But before long, the Dark Ghost Lord began to panic.

Because he noticed that the words on his forehead were gradually fading...

Those words, once Sacred and Supreme, now seem to be losing their power to suppress everything.

"Oh no, oh no, the Tooth Extraction Monster has run out of power?!"

The Dark Ghost Lord felt a chill run down his spine!

In fact, the few ink stains stuck to his forehead were all High God and were unaffected. However, the power of the Tooth Extraction Monster was limited and could not be maintained, so they were now diluted.

Or... should we just run away?

He started to back down again, mainly because... he was unwilling to give up.

I refuse to become a soulless Nether Slave, and I refuse to become a stepping stone for the black hand behind the scenes!

Having been schemed against once by the Star Annihilation Divine Monarch, now I'm being schemed against a second time... How frustrating!

However, when he turned around, he saw the Great Ruins Star Wheel behind him.

He hesitated.

He believed that nothing would happen to the Great Ruin Realm, and that the being in the Small Mountain Village, though living in seclusion, would not stand by and watch his place of seclusion be destroyed.

Even if the Star Annihilation Divine Monarch were to come, he couldn't afford to offend that senior in the village.

But, other astral planes...

It may perish.

A raging sea of blood, orchestrated by black hand targeting him, has already destroyed the four Star Wheels...

"I have lived a life of Heavenly Darkness, yet I have never wronged anyone... How can I bear to see the people die because of me!"

"This all started because of me, so let me take the blame!"

His mind was made up. At that moment, he suddenly raised his eyes, exerted all his strength, and had no thought of retreating.

He went all out, frantically absorbing the boundless death energy.

His cultivation level soared wildly as the overwhelming death energy entered his body.

From the second level of the Ghost Lord, to the third level, and then to the fourth level...

The death energy of four star wheels, spanning hundreds of worlds, is vast and boundless.

Feeling the ever-increasing surge of murderous and twisted desires within him, he knew that he was probably about to be infected by the Netherworld Origin.

"Now that I've made up my mind, I, Heavenly Darkness, will leave myself no room for maneuver!"

He roared angrily!

"The Heart Concealment Art... When the deathly aura is completely absorbed, the body explodes, and the soul is scattered!"

He was using a secret technique: the Heart Concealment Art!

The Heart Concealment Art allows a ghost to repeatedly and meticulously etch a simple thought into its mind. Once successfully etched, even if the ghost becomes a puppet and is controlled by someone, that thought can still be activated automatically.

His current thought is... self-destruction!

No more running away, no more shrinking back, only a burning passion surging within!

At the same time, he used a secret technique to send a final order to the group of ghosts under his command.

And at this moment.

In front of Small Mountain Village.

Gui Qi and other supernatural beings are still waiting.

"My teeth can't wait!"

Even the starving ghosts were getting anxious.

"The village is quiet now, have our benefactors finished their meal?"

Why aren't you coming out yet?

"Yeah, I want to Tooth Extraction Monster."

A group of ghosts were just waiting and waiting.

"Wrong..."

Suddenly, Gui Qi's expression changed. He abruptly raised his eyes and looked towards the outside of the Great Ruin Realm, his face filled with shock!

"The Ghost Lord..."

"What happened?!"

All the ghosts turned their gazes toward the sky.

In that instant, all the ghosts received an order from the Dark Ghost Lord.

"You must not leave the mountain village. Wait until the storm has passed, then return to the Ghost Realm on your own. Do not wait for me, and do not look for me again."

At this moment, all the ghosts were bewildered and terrified.

"Oh no... Ghost Lord, you must be in danger!"

The hanged ghost and the others spoke anxiously.

"We must go beyond the realm immediately!"

"Find the Ghost Lord! We must find the Ghost Lord!"

They panicked and prepared to leave.

But at that very moment, layers of ghostly energy suddenly emanated from Gui Qi's body.

Instantly, the hanged ghost and the others were bound and unable to move!

"Commander, what are you doing? Let us go!"

The starving ghost spoke anxiously.

However, Gui Qi took a deep breath, his face showing a resolute expression.

"The Ghost Lord must have wanted us to stay here to use the village's power to save our lives... I cannot let the Ghost Lord down."

"I'll go find an adult."

He walked step by step towards the outside.

"Gui Qi, you old devil, untie me! I want to go, why won't you let me go!"

"We'll die together, you son of a bitch, you're not allowed to leave!"

"We are not cowards, Gui Qi, let us go!"

The starving ghosts roared angrily, their ghostly bodies trembling.

But Gui Qi simply turned around, smiled slightly, and said:

"From today onwards, you are the leader of the starving ghosts."

"Your only task is to lead everyone safely back to the Ghost Realm."

Goodbye, everyone.

Having said that, he transformed into a gust of yin wind, vanished from his spot, and soared into the sky, heading towards the outer Great Ruin Realm...
