A Ruthless Hero Who Dared Challenge the Dead Land

The gloomy space was filled with an eerie and ghostly atmosphere.

Jiang Li and the other two had already entered the Ghost Realm.

Lin Jiuzheng distributed talismans to protect them from the surrounding ghostly energy.

Because hidden within the ghostly and deathly aura lies a faint resentment. Over time, this resentment accumulates and causes "Resentment Hunger," which inevitably corrupts the minds of living people in such an environment.

As they ventured deeper, the words written by Ziling on the foreheads of the ghosts, including Leng Wudi and Gui Qi, began to emit a faint light, warding off evil spirits.

They headed towards the Dead Land.

Because Yin Yang Soil originates from the Dead Land, what they are looking for... must also be within it.

"My benefactors, to reach the Dead Land, you must first go to the Star of Origin Ghosts."

"That star realm is the largest ghost realm in the Ghost Realm, and the passage into the Dead Land is also on the Origin Ghost Star."

The Mingzhi Ghost Monarch the Underworld began his explanation, speaking with his soul power, because otherwise, Jiang Li and the others wouldn't be able to understand him...

"Then let's go to Yuan Gui Star."

The group moved forward at a rapid pace.

Along the way, they encountered some ghosts in the Ghost Realm, but they were accompanied by powerful figures such as Heavenly Darkness and Ming Zhi. Ordinary ghosts, sensing the aura of Ghost Lord from afar, hurriedly fled.

"That is the Origin Ghost Star!"

Mingzhi pointed to a massive star realm ahead!

This astral plane is truly enormous. If an ordinary astral plane is no bigger than a pigeon's egg, then the Source Ghost Astral Plane is the size of a watermelon.

"The Origin Ghost Star Realm is said to have been one of the most powerful realms in High Antiquity times, comparable to the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Divine Realm."

As the Heavenly Darkness, he spoke, his ghostly eyes filled with nostalgia. Countless years had passed since he left the Ghost Realm.

Returning to my homeland now, everything has changed.

"This astral plane... is a bit strange!"

At this moment, Lin Jiuzheng suddenly spoke.

"It's not surprising that ghosts live there!"

Wu Dade spoke up as a matter of course.

Lin Jiuzheng, however, stared at the stars in the heavens, shook his head, looked at Jiang Li, and said:

"Senior Brother Jiang Li, observing the arrangement of these stars in the heavens... what do you sense?"

Jiang Li was also deep in thought when he said:

Centered on the Origin Ghost Star Realm, a grand array was formed encompassing all the Ghost Realms, with endless energy seemingly emanating from the Origin Ghost Star Realm and spreading to all other realms...

Lin Jiuzheng nodded and said:

"In the Celestial Master Dao, this... is called the 'Starry Sky Scattering Resentment Talisman,' which uses the stars of the heavens as a guide to create an extremely peculiar and wondrous natural landscape."

"This kind of terrain... is specifically designed to dispel evil spirits!"

"If this is truly the Starry Sky Resentment Dispersing Talisman, then after the Origin Ghost Star Realm, there must be another world. The Origin Ghost Star Realm is precisely the one from which evil resentment is continuously received and then scattered throughout the heavens!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Dade was stunned. He said:

"I roughly understand... In other words, this Origin Ghost Star Realm is like a flood outlet."

"And the world beyond the Origin Ghost Star Realm is like a large lake, with floodwaters flowing out through a spillway... The entire Ghost Realm has become a flood discharge area?"

Lin Jiuzheng and said:

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

At this moment, the big black dog, with eyes that seemed to see through everything, suddenly said:

"Perhaps... these countless star fields were not originally a ghost realm."

"Instead, it was a normal star realm, which also had life. However, the evil resentment expelled from the Source Ghost Star Realm destroyed everything, causing countless starfield beings to turn into ghosts, and turning the heavens and star realms into an endless ghost realm..."

His words were always shocking, leaving everyone around him speechless.

"Very likely... If so, then the world behind it is truly terrifying!"

Jiang Li murmured, "Using all the worlds as a framework, is it all for... merely to resolve the evil resentment within oneself?"

Heavenly Darkness and Ming Zhi exchanged a stunned glance.

"The Origin Ghost Star Realm... is the place where the entire Ghost Realm worships the Dead Land..."

Heavenly Darkness murmured, saying:

"If it's really... really like that, then it's terrifying. The beings in the Dead Land have manipulated the entire Ghost Realm. The entire Ghost Realm... is just a pawn for them, a pawn to dispel evil resentment...?"

This... is nothing short of an earth-shattering conspiracy!

The Dead Land, which the Ghost Realm regarded as a supreme holy site, actually...

Is it the source of all suffering in the ghost realm?!

The entire Ghost Realm... was created by the Dead Land?

This... overturned his imagination and understanding.

Mingzhi was even more shocked:

"Oh no... So, what that fierce man who broke into the Dead Land a year ago said was true?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately looked at him and asked with concern:

"That formidable figure you mentioned... is he skilled in chess?"

Previously, during the great battle with the Ghost Army of the Forty-Ninth Star Domain, Jiang Li displayed Heibai lines, which attracted the attention of the Ghost Army.

The Night Ming Ghost King once said that in the Ghost Realm, there was once a person who claimed to reverse Yin and Yang, rebuild the Ghost Realm, and even broke into the Dead Land!

That person... looks very similar to Jiang Li; the Heibai pattern is his trademark.

Mingzhi nodded and said:

"My benefactor... that person is indeed skilled in Go."

"That's a really formidable person."

Jiang Li said, "Tell me in detail."

He always felt that the Emperor of Black and White, who was once renowned Yin Realm... should not have disappeared!

A look of sighing and emotion appeared on the face of the Mingzhi Ghost Monarch, who said:

"A year ago, that person appeared in the Ghost Realm, suddenly appearing out of nowhere, and instantly killed three Ghost Lords who were suffering from Resentment Hunger!"

"At the time, everyone in the Ghost Realm thought he was a powerful figure from the Divine Realm or the Brahma Court, and they prepared to attack him en masse. But he claimed that he would find a way to solve the Ghost Realm's Resentment Hunger. To this end, he... even captured a Ghost King, locked it up, and actually refined all the resentment in the Ghost King alive!"

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Darkness, who was standing nearby, was stunned and said:

"Is it completely refined?"

"Really???"

This... this is almost impossible!

The Resentment Hunger were terrifying.

That is the inescapable fate of the entire Ghost Realm; once it takes effect, it will drive them mad, out of control, and completely turn them into puppets of Resentment Hunger.

Whether ordinary ghosts or powerful Ghost King... none can escape it.

In fact, the stronger one's cultivation, the more terrifying the accumulated Resentment Hunger become, and once it erupts, it can often cause horrific disasters.

There is never a way to combat Resentment Hunger!

If Heavenly Darkness, he would have survived it alive; such a case is unique in the entire Ghost Realm.

And he was able to do this...

One reason is Bing Ruo; Bing Ruo gave him an unwavering belief and planted a seed of kindness within him.

Secondly, his previous cultivation level was only at the Ghost Lord Realm, and the Resentment Hunger he accumulated were far less terrifying than those at the Ghost Lord or Ghost King levels.

Otherwise, he would also find it difficult to remain unscathed.

Aside from enduring it head-on, the only other option is to act like Mingzhi, utilizing the ghost to devour one's own Resentment Hunger, while simultaneously consuming one's own essence.

But if you do that, you won't live more than a few years before you die completely.

"How... did he refine the Ghost King- level Resentment Hunger?"

Mingzhi's expression was complicated as he said:

"He transferred the Ghost King's Resentment Hunger into himself, using his own body as a furnace to completely refine it away!"

Use your body as a furnace!

A look of admiration appeared on Heavenly Darkness's face as he said:

"Ruthless!"

Living people are different from ghosts; living people rely more on their physical bodies, and their souls are not very strong.

However, Resentment Hunger are specifically targeted at spirits and ghosts.

Even Ghost King kings couldn't withstand the Resentment Hunger; it was definitely a calamity.

It could easily destroy an entire Ghost Clan star system!

But a living person... actually refined Ghost King- level Resentment Hunger.

This is absolutely incredible!

"In addition, he also established a city in the Origin Ghost Star Realm— the Sinless City."

Mingzhi's expression was complicated as he said:

He said, "Ghosts are innocent and need not worship the Dead Land. Anyone who enters the Sinless City will receive his help and have their Resentment Hunger resolved."

"This matter caused a great sensation in the Ghost Realm, attracting countless ghosts. Even I considered going, after all, I couldn't handle dealing with those female ghost every day..."

"But I haven't even arrived yet... Dead Land have already made their move."

Mingzhi sighed softly and said:

"So that ruthless person actually intended to use the Sinless City to suppress the passage between the Origin Ghost Star Realm and the Dead Land..."

"In that battle, that ruthless man charged directly into the Dead Land, challenging its Dead Land."

"No one knows what happened next, but according to the beings in the Dead Land, he has been completely annihilated, both in body and soul."

Even the Sinless City has been reduced to ruins.

"It seems that ruthless person... is indeed dead."

Mingzhi Ghost Monarch spoke, there was a hint of regret in his words.

At this moment, Jiang Li, Lin Jiuzheng, and Wu Dade, upon hearing this, also yearned for it!

There's still a chapter being written.
