Whoosh~
As the Sun Furnace condensed into being, otherworldly flames spread forth, burning heaven and earth. The Nether Ghosts shrieked in terror and tried to flee, but crystalline walls formed within Xia Ping's inner palace, blocking their escape.
Their guts turned green with regret, but it was far too late. Their bodies were immediately consumed by the blazing flames. In merely a few breaths, they were reduced to ashes and vanished completely from this world.
After these Nether Ghosts died, they left behind a great deal of soul energy, which was instantly devoured and absorbed, strengthening his soul. This caused the Spirit Fire in the depths of Xia Ping's inner palace to burn even more fiercely.
"Damn it, Ghost Five Hundred and the others are all dead. That human killed every last one of them."
"We can't enter that human's body. There's something strange about it."
Quite a few Nether Ghosts sensed that the auras of those who had entered the depths of Xia Ping's inner palace had vanished. They seemed to have all been killed and devoured by this human, reduced to nothingness. Every one of them was both enraged and horrified.
Some Nether Ghosts were incomparably relieved. Fortunately, they had been a little slower and had not invaded this human's body in time. Otherwise, they too would undoubtedly have died.
"Not bad food."
Xia Ping stretched lazily and let out a satisfied burp, as though he had not just fought terrifying Nether Ghosts, but had merely finished a delicious dinner.
That expression enraged the Nether Ghosts even further. They prided themselves on being predators, creatures standing at the top of the food chain. They had always been the ones to eat humans—when had humans ever eaten them? It was utterly absurd. The world had been turned upside down.
