Lu Ren had become a Ghost General, and his strength had soared. No ghostly creature could stop him now.
Ordinary ghostly creatures could no longer do much to improve his cultivation.
At last, after countless bloody battles and the slaughter of countless powerful ghostly creatures, Lu Ren reached the end.
A wasteland of piled bones stretched before him. At its center lay a colossal creature.
Neither quite dragon nor beast, its body was cobbled together from the limbs of countless powerful ghostly creatures. It radiated towering Baleful Intent and foul Yin Energy, and its aura had reached the peak of the Ghost General level!
It was the embodiment of every ghostly creature's malicious thoughts in the Beast Path, and the guardian of this path.
A heaven-shaking battle erupted at once.
Over the years in the Beast Path's trial world, Lu Ren had fully integrated his Ghost Dao methods into his Chaos Dao. Their power was astonishing: a casual sword strike could grievously wound the guardian.
At last, with a thunderous crash, Lu Ren drove his sword into the creature's chest.
It roared in unwilling fury. Its enormous body collapsed and became a torrent of pure Yin Energy that surged into Lu Ren's battered Ghost Body.
Under the wash of that vast energy, Lu Ren's Ghost Body underwent an earth-shaking transformation.
His form grew steadily more solid and taller. The quality of his Yin Energy rose sharply, and an air of majesty began to emanate from him.
When the torrent of energy finally subsided, Lu Ren stood on the wasteland of bones.
He looked down at his ghostly hand, now almost entirely solid and gleaming like dark metal. He felt the sea of ghost power surging within him, and a mighty pressure radiated from him beyond his control.
Ghost Emperor!
