291 Battling a Soul Transformation Demon Venerable

"It's you!"

Eccentric Hei looked at the powerful Song Shi in disbelief. This person's move just now had actually forced him back!

"Come, let's duel!"

Song Shi twisted his neck and quickly adjusted his state. As the bones in his entire body cracked, the power of his body was mobilized. Just his blood and Qi shook the Void.

Swoosh!

BANG!

The air exploded as Song Shi shot out and punched the snake's body.

Seeing that Song Shi was about to engage in close combat with him, Black Snake snorted and lashed his snake tail at Song Shi like a huge whip.

Puchi!

Song Shi's fist struck the snake's tail, but there was no expected loud bang. Instead, his fist, which carried scorching flames, pierced through the black snake scales and directly pierced through the snake's body.

On the opposite side of the snake's body, flames flickered casually. The snake skin bulged and then broke open. Song Shi fist rushed out with blood.

Behind him, blood splattered and Black Snake screamed miserably. He had just suffered a huge loss on the spot.

"Let me teach you something. The smaller the contact area, the greater the pressure. If our strength is about the same, the larger your size is, the easier it will be for me to break you."

Song Shi reminded. His entire body burned with flames, burning away the snake blood.

His physique was too strong. This old fellow could not withstand after a few hits.

"You're right. I'll fight you when I'm smaller!"

Old Black growled as his body rapidly shrunk from a thousand meters to more than thirty feet. He opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of Bone Transformation Poison.

"You don't have a good memory. Don't you know that this thing doesn't work on me anymore?"

Song Shi shook his head but still chose to dodge.

He had already decided to keep a low profile. There was no need for him to stand still and be drenched in the Bone Transformation Poison.

He had to fight like a normal person.

With a changed mindset, Song Shi easily dodged the Bone Transformation Poison.

A sizzling sound appeared behind him and the jade stones on the ground were actually corroded. Wisps of black poisonous gas spread out and the guards in the distance hurriedly retreated.

"Bone Demon Vortex!"

When Black Snake saw Song Shi approaching, he suddenly opened his mouth exaggeratedly. Black Nomological powers fused with his mouth, forming a pitch-black vortex that devoured Song Shi with an aura that could shatter everything.

This time, it deliberately controlled its power. This black vortex did not look big, only a few hundred feet, but its power was even more terrifying.

"Dragon Subduing Palm!"

Song Shi formed a seal with one hand. Golden flames condensed in his palm and transformed into a lively fire dragon.

As the dragon roared, sharpness appeared in his teeth and dragon claws. Song Shi secretly condensed the sword qi into claws and teeth to increase the destructive power of this divine power.

After he became a Nascent Soul cultivator, the might of this grade five Divine Ability was fully unleashed. A dragon's shadow flashed as it struck the vortex with an indomitable aura.

Violent ripples appeared, like a dragon falling into a deep pool. After a moment of calm, flames danced in the vortex before tearing it apart.

Boom!

An explosion occurred under the collision of two opposing powers. Both parties were forced back by the aftershock. Old Black twisted his snake body, and layers of ripples appeared on his body. He dissipated the impact rhythmically.

Song Shi tapped the ground a few times and quickly dissipated the force. He was not discouraged by Old Black's advantage at all. Instead, his blood boiled as he completely exercised his body.

His aura was like a rainbow as he mobilized all his Nomological powers. The nine suns slowly rose and circled around his body like the sun.

The joy of colliding with a powerhouse made him laugh. "Not bad. As expected of an old monster. You're indeed capable."

Seeing the incomparably magical Song Shi, Old Black's snake eyes were filled with fear. "A Nascent Soul cultivator can actually be so powerful. Not only did he injure me, but his Nomological power is also so thick."

He glanced at Bai Yu'er's cave, "Why isn't she coming out? Did you do something to her?"

As an old demon who had lived for thousands of years, he had already sensed that something was wrong.

"It's nothing. I've only conquered her. I'm not going to help her for free anymore."

Song Shi smiled, "Come, have a taste of the Ye Family's God Slaying Sword Technique."

He used his hand as a sword, and the spiritual sword qi in his body condensed on his finger. With a clang, the sword qi erupted, fusing into a golden sword light that slashed at him.

Black Snake spat out the Bone Transformation Poison and turned it into a black river. The golden sword qi landed on it and quickly melted, but most of it was also cut open.

"Hmm, looks like my Sword Dao isn't strong enough."

Song Shi looked at the results and changed his attack method, "Then let's try the illusion technique!"

With a burning gaze in his eyes, Song Shi formed a seal. Amidst a circle of brilliant light, Black Snake suddenly discovered that the surrounding scenery had changed. He suddenly arrived in front of a sea of fire.

He hated fire the most. He was subconsciously shocked, but then he remembered that this was an illusion. His eyes lit up, "Break!"

A powerful primordial spirit power was released. As if a storm had blown past, the sea of fire and magma began to distort, vaguely revealing Song Shi's figure.

Before he could completely break it open, Song Shi's palm landed on the ground with a bang, causing the jade cave to cave in.

If not for the protection of the array here, this slap would have created a huge pit hundreds of meters wide.

"The illusion technique isn't strong enough either, but it can still play a good role when combined with other attacks."

Song Shi landed on the ground and commented, looking like he was cultivating.

The snake scales where Black Snake was beaten shattered and were charred black. Blood gushed out, but under the pain, its snake body curled up.

Snake Bind was an innate ability of every snake. When a Soul Transformation Demon Venerable used this move, Song Shi was actually unable to dodge it. His body tightened and he was immediately wrapped tightly by Black Snake.

Crack, crack!

Under the terrifying entanglement force, Song Shi's top-grade Divine Body actually emitted an unbearable sound. His expression changed slightly. He did not expect to encounter danger so quickly in his first battle without having a death wish.

"Kid, npw that you're being trapped by me, let's see what else you can do!"

The Black Snake sneered. His snake body squirmed and began to shrink in a regular manner.

"Then let's see who's stronger, you or me!"

Song Shi wanted to compete. With a divine thought, the power of his Golden Divine Body erupted.

The golden blood qi in his entire body boiled as dense runes surged out and surfaced on his skin, transforming into a Golden Arhat. He was like a humanoid Numinous artifacts that emitted an indestructible power.

Black Snake's coiled body expanded a little. A monstrous demonic aura erupted from his body, and his physical strength was fully activated.

He mobilized the power of heaven and earth, forming a huge black snake phantom that suppressed Song Shi's power again.

Song Shi's Nascent Soul was activated, and endless flames rushed out. The flames of the Nine Yang Divine Body Talent surged, wanting to turn everything into ashes. At the same time, the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit released dense sword qi that stabbed at Black snake.

The latter released the Bone Transformation Poison, using softness to counter hardness and Yin to counter Yang. Relying on his strength that was a major realm higher, he mobilized the power of heaven and earth to receive everything.

The two sides immediately fell into a stalemate. Black Snake looked at Song Shi's head, which was filled with sharp sword Qi and scorching Nascent Fire. He felt like he was facing a hedgehog. He did not dare to provoke Song Shi.

"Damn it, this guy has an undying body. If this continues, my situation won't be good."

Feeling uneasy, he secretly mobilized his reinforcements.

Song Shi's Dharmic powers were quickly depleted, but he did not pay much attention to it. It was very normal for Old Black to have the advantage. This time, the focus was on experiencing how powerful it was to fight a Soul Transformation powerhouse.

292 Acting Obedient After Receiving Benefits

The White Snake guards hiding at the side were all a little dumbfounded.

"This human seems to be only at the Nascent Soul realm. He was the one transcending the tribulation half a month ago."

"He's so powerful. He can actually resist Mr Black."

"Why isn't the ancestor out yet? Could it be that something has really happened?"

The group of snake demons was a little dumbfounded. For a moment, they did not know what to do.

Song Shi, who was tightly bound, took advantage of the pressure to fuse all his strength. The origin of the Golden Divine Body boiled under the drive of the Imperishable Golden Body's Yin-Yang Chapter, forming a circle of mysterious Yin-Yang diagrams.

Black Snake's terrifying entanglement power was greatly negated by the circulation of Yin and Yang. Song Shi could last much longer.

What made Black Snake the most speechless was that under his oppression, this person's cultivation technique realm was clearly improving, and the circulation of the Yin-Yang Image became more and more smooth.

"You want me to help you cultivate?"

Black Snake gritted his teeth in anger.

"Is there a problem? Bite me if you're unhappy."

Song Shi pushed the sword Qi above his head to his limit until Black Snake's throat. If Black Snake dared to speak, he would definitely be covered in blood.

"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

Black Snake's eyes were dark.

"Show me."

Song Shi provoked.

Black Snake, who had planned to wait for his clansmen to come and help him deal with Song Shi, was agitated. He could not be bothered to wait any longer and growled, "I'll let you have a taste of my wild divine power!"

A barbaric aura appeared on his body, like the awakening of a barbaric beast. Black Snake's body expanded, and his physical strength soared. The power of his entanglement more than doubled.

Song Shi's protective Will-O-Wisp immediately began to morph. The sword aura was shattered, the flames extinguished, and the Yin-Yang Image twisted non-stop. A moment later, it was pressed back into his body.

Song Shi's body was touched by the snake's body. A cold and berserk aura surged over, making him feel a little cold.

Crack!

The sound of something breaking rang out. Song Shi's expression changed slightly. This old fellow was really quite powerful.

"Human, I have the bloodline of a wild beast, the Blackwater Mystical Snake. How can you compete with me in terms of physical body?"

Black Snake looked at Song Shi, whose bones were beginning to break, and sneered with a smug expression.

"You should think about it. I'm still in the Nascent Soul realm now. But when I reach the Soul Transformation realm, hehe."

Song Shi's words broke Black Snake's confidence.

He flew into a rage out of humiliation, "Even so, you still have to break through to the Soul Transformation realm alive?=!"

The power of desolation erupted. Amidst a series of rapid cracking sounds, Song Shi was directly strangled until he morphed into a meat paste.

He spat out a mouthful of Bone Transformation Poison, but it was not targeted at his body. Instead, it enveloped Song Shi's Nascent Soul and made him die a tragic death.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After killing Song Shi, Old Black stuck out his tongue and panted heavily.

Using his bloodline power consumed a lot of energy and he was exhausted.

"Don't revive, don't revive!"

Looking at Song Shi's broken corpse, Black Snake could not help but mutter. The next moment, his pupils constricted.

"Ah, why the f*ck are you reviving again!"

He cursed angrily because Song Shi's corpse turned into a beam of light and disappeared. Then, he appeared unharmed.

When Song Shi heard the curses echoing, he looked helpless, "I don't want to either."

His annoying look almost made rhe old snake vomit blood. He thought," All this while I worked for f*ucking nothing?"

He pointed at Song Shi with trembling fingers, "There's no justice. There's really no justice in this world."

"Who said that? The gift of fate is equalized. Do you know how much fear I have to bear every time I die? Do you know how lonely I'm destined to be in the future?"

Song Shi's face was filled with emotions.

Black Snake was flabberghasted by his words. Wasn't this person too shameless? This was something that others didn't even dare to think about achieving. In the end, this guy did not even want to admit that he had received a benefit?

He laughed in anger, "If you don't want it, I want it. Are you willing to give it to me?"

"No."

Song Shi shook his head and beckoned with his hand. "Again, don't just entrap me this time It's more comfortable to fight head-on."

Black Snake stared at Song Shi without moving.

He had killed the other party on the surface just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was alive and kicking again.

The key was that he had to use all his strength to suppress this guy now. In the future, when the other party broke through to the Soul Transformation realm, wouldn't he be beaten up?

Not to mention the Soul Transformation realm, even if he advanced another small realm, he would probably not be his match.

At the thought of this, Black Snake could not help but feel frustrated. This person was very difficult to kill previously. Now that he was also so strong, how could he still duel him like this?

"No wonder Bai Yu'er didn't come out. I'm afraid she's doomed."

Feeling uneasy, he transformed into his human form amidst the rolling black gas. A cunning look appeared in his eyes as he squeezed out a smile. "Ahem, it's all a misunderstanding. Initially, I was only dealing with you because I wanted to help Fairy White Snake. Please do not take any offense. How about becoming friends?"

As a member of the Snake Clan, he was naturally flexible. After realizing that Song Shi was not to be trifled with, he decisively changed his attitude and tried to salvage the situation.

"But you've killed me many times."

Song Shi smiled. This old demon was quite cautious. When he saw that there was no benefit, his expression immediately changed.

"You're not dead, aren't you? It's no loss to you."

Black Snake thought that anyone who made an enemy of this person, be it a human or a demon, would not have a good ending. He was even more unwilling to continue.

"What do you mean I didn't lose anything?"

Song Shi chuckled, "You can't just brush over this so easily."

"Don't go too far. I don't want to fight with you anymore."

Black Snake was afraid. If this person could keep doing what he did just now, he could exhaust him to death.

"It's not up to you."

Song Shi slapped his waist, and a blood-colored flood dragon roared as it flew out. Golden Dragon Spear appeared in his hand, and the two Numinous artifacts were instantly activated with most of their strength. At the same time, they attacked the Black Snake.

"When will these cycles of vengeance end? I won't waste time with you anymore."

When Black Snake saw Song Shi's Numinous artifacts, he turned around and left.

Previously, when he treated this fellow as a prisoner, he had not found any Numinous artifacts. This meant that the place where the Numinous artifacts were hidden was not something he could detect at all.

He didn't even have the qualifications to discover it, which meant that he didn't know the other party's background and the other party had already forced him to reveal all kinds of methods.

This way, even if they continued to fight, the probability of him losing was higher.

"If I'm not wrong, she should have already suffered a huge loss and been taken down by you."

Old Black was certain. A black river blocked in front of him and collided violently with the Blood Dragon Spear, retreating continuously.

"An old monster is indeed an old monster. He's smarter than a human."

Song Shi's Spear was like a meteor as it broke through the black river transformed from the Bone Transformation Poison. The flames rapidly expanded in the black river as it stabbed towards Old Black with unstoppable force.

Boom!

The two sides collided. With the help of the Numinous artifacts, the difference in cultivation realm was made up for. Black Snake no longer had any advantage.

Sensing that Song Shi would not let him off, Black Snake's face darkened. He was in a dilemma.

Now that the demons were watching, if he was frightened away by a human, he would probably become a joke in the entire Demon Realm in the future.

"Ancestor!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Snake demons with cold and dark auras appeared one after another. They looked at the battlefield in shock and confusion.

They were reinforcements who had been called over. They thought that it was because their ancestor had fought with the White Snake Demon, but they realized that it was a human.

Wasn't this the nest of their Snake Clan? Why would a human behave so atrociously here?

The Black Snake Demon Venerable was embarrassed. Originally, he was prepared to retreat. Now that his clansmen were here, how could he retreat directly?

293 Black and White Snake Demons

He simply said, "Come and kill this demon. This person might threaten the life and death of our Snake Clan."

At this point, he rolled his eyes. "Everyone from the White Snake Branch, your ancestor has already been harmed by this person. Aren't you going to avenge her?"

A muscular man in silver armor stepped out and said solemnly, "Venerable Black, did something really happen to our ancestor?"

"Yin Lang, don't listen to the old thing's nonsense. Bring the elders and stop the reinforcements of the Black Snake line."

Bai Yu'er's voice rang out, "Don't disturb their battle."

Yin Lang hurriedly bowed. "Yes, ancestor!"

She waved his hand, "Elder of the White Snake Clan, stop all intruders."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

This was the base camp of the White Snake lineage, so there were naturally more powerhouses. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the reinforcements that Old Black had called for.

"Fairy White Snake, you've become muddle-headed!"

Black Snake turned pale with fright. "How can you collude with a human and turn against your own kind?"

Bai Yu'er did not reply. She was also very helpless. If she was not under Song Shi's control, she would never have given such an order.

"Old Black, if you don't fight me to your heart's content today, don't even think about escaping."

Song Shi used his Spear as a sword, and a cold light shot into the sky. He split the black river into two with a vertical slash, and the sharp sword aura left a mark in front of Old Black before being swallowed by the Blood Dragon.

Roar!

With a beast-like roar, a portion of the Blood Dragon's body was torn apart, and its black head popped out.

Song Shi's Spear had already reached it. His physical strength erupted, and the golden Spear quickly enlarged. The spear pierced through the snake's body and stabbed it into the ground.

Black Snake screamed and struggled crazily. The more he struggled, the more blood flowed out of the wounds on his body.

BOOM!

Song Shi descended from the sky and suppressed its head with a kick. At the same time, the Blood Dragon quickly recovered and entangled it.

Facing the blood snake, it was a little difficult for the Blood Dragon to suppress it. However, combined with the power of the Golden Dragon Spear and Song Shi, the Black Snake Demon Venerable, a dignified middle-stage Soul Transformation Demon Venerable, was actually stabbed to the ground and could not turn over.

"In the beginning, the weapons that humans created were not to kill their own people, but to deal with demons and ghosts like you."

Song Shi said indifferently. He was temporarily no match for this fellow in melee combat, but the difference was not great. His two Numinous artifacts hence immediately erased the difference and he gained the upper hand.

"Ancestor!"

The experts from the Black Snake Clan cried out in alarm. They wanted to come over, but they were stopped by the White Snake Clan.

Song Shi did not even look at it. He raised his hand and took out a talisman. He activated it and struck Black Snake Demon Venerable's head mercilessly.

"Since you don't want to fight me, then I shall perform the last step."

Black Snake Demon Venerable felt uneasy and instinctively resisted, "What is this!"

"You'll understand when you experience it."

With the experience of using it once, Song Shi was even more familiar with it this time. He maintained the suppression with the two Numinous artifacts and multitasked with the formation of the Control runes to invade his mental world.

This strange power immediately made Old Black understand. He roared, "You want to control me? No way!"

A savage aura erupted from his body again. The power of his bloodline boiled, and the black color on his body became even darker. A terrifying explosive force was released.

The Blood Dragon loosened a little from the struggle. The Golden Dragon Spear shone in all directions, but it still could not help but tremble. The Dharmic powers released by Song Shi were also forced back quite a bit, making it difficult for it to gain the upper hand.

"Get lost!"

With a furious roar, Black Snake slowly stood up. He was about to break free from the suppression.

"Your brute force isn't small. Then let's do another one."

The third Nascent Soul in Song Shi's body opened its eyes and spat out a pagoda.

This was a Numinous artifact that had just been refined and nurtured by one of the Nascent Souls. With a slight flash, it left the acupuncture point space and arrived in the outside world, rapidly enlarging.

Boom!

The pagoda fell and hit the snake's head hard. With a loud bang, Black Snake felt dizzy from the impact. His body, which had just risen, was directly suppressed.

"No, why do you have a third Numinous artifacts?!"

A despairing voice roared from the old monster's mouth. Not only did this person have three Numinous artifacts, but the key was that his Nomological power was thick enough to unleash its might.

No matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to break free for a while. The key was that his mental world had already been attacked.

Unlike Bai Yu'er's spiritual world, which was snow-white, Old Black's spiritual world did not have much light. It was shrouded in a black fog. There was a lake in the center and one of the black snakes opened its eyes in panic.

In the darkness, dense purple runes turned into a huge net that suddenly appeared. It pierced through his Spirit Defense and landed on his Essence Soul.

No matter how he resisted, he could not stop the runes from invading. In the blink of an eye, he was locked by the chains formed by the runes.

Swoosh!

A small black snake rushed out from the side, wanting to escape.

Boom!

A scorching fireball appeared from the darkness, instantly illuminating his primordial spirit and forcing him back with a loud bang.

"Old monster, are you trying to use your Soul Clone to disguise as a primordial spirit to deceive my Spirit Command Talisman and let the primordial spirit escape?"

Behind the fireball, Song Shi's spiritual body slowly appeared. He looked coldly at Old Black's resentful primordial spirit, "Since you have a clone, I'll waste another Spirit Command Talisman."

In the next moment, a layer of purple runes appeared in the entire mental world. They quickly tore through the darkness and flew towards the Essence Soul in front of Song Shi's Spirit Body.

In the outside world, Song Shi had indeed activated another Spirit Command Talisman to ensure that the old snake would not be able to escape.

"Don't be too ruthless!"

Old Black was so angry that his primordial spirit distorted. He still tried to escape, but the further he went, the more purple runes there were.

The entire mental world flashed with purple light. Dense runes had already formed an inescapable net, making it impossible for Old Black to escape, be it his Essence Soul or Soul Clone.

"You're just angry because you are incompetent right now."

Song Shi mocked as he grabbed at Black Snake's primordial spirit. Large amounts of runes formed a huge net that descended. In the blink of an eye, it firmly entangled him and began to invade him.

"Ah!"

Black Snake cried out tragically as his Essence Soul was corroded. The agony was even more terrifying than the pain his physical body went through just now. He could not use any of his demonic powers and was completely suppressed by the three Numinous artifacts.

Outside, Old Black had already lost control of his body and looked like he was dead.

A light flashed in Song Shi's eyes. He knew that the old monster's fate had been set. He landed on the snake's tail and grabbed it, dragging it towards the palace.

In the palace, Bai Yu'er, who was breaking through, had a complicated expression. She opened her eyes and looked at Song Shi, "I thought he had a chance to escape, but he didn't."

"I've already got him. Why would he be able to run?"

Song Shi threw the huge snake body aside, "I can even control you before I broke through. Do you think I will let him escape after I have broken through?"

"True."

Bai Yu'er could only smile bitterly.

"Actually, now that I have him under control, do you feel much better now that you have someone to accompany you?"

Song Shi smiled playfully, "From now on, you are all beasts under my control. I'll name you the Black and White Snake Demons."

Bai Yu'er was speechless. What kind of strange name was that?

"I thought you said I was a pet. Doesn't that mean I'm different from him?"

Bai Yu'er could not help but ask.

"You're different indeed. He is in charge of watching the house. You're in charge of being cute."

Song Shi shook his head.

Bai Yu'er was even more speechless. Why did it sound more and more like they were both supposed to assume the roles of a dog?

294 Demon Slayer Perfected Lord

With the Black Snake Demon Venerable captured, the experts of the Black Snake lineage could only retreat unwillingly. The surroundings of the underground palace quickly quietened down.

A few days later, a powerful aura surged out of the underground palace. It lasted for a moment before slowly converging. Bai Yu'er had successfully broken through to the late-stage Soul Transformation realm.

Half a day later, a teleportation door appeared outside. Song Shi walked out, followed by two people, one black and one white. The three of them stopped in midair for a moment before disappearing.

The flames of war raged in Qian Kingdom's Nether City.

Ever since the Qian cultivator army destroyed the headquarters of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, a top faction in the Nether City, more than half a year ago, the ordinary army had also begun to suppress the rebellion on a large scale. The war had reached its most intense stage.

Above the ruins of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, dark clouds covered the sky. Song Shi appeared in the clouds on a flying ship.

Behind him stood the Black and White Snake Demons.

Black Evil's clothes and skin turned black and he had a gloomy expression. It was the Black Snake, who had yet to accept his fate.

The White Snake Demon was naturally Bai Yu'er. She was sticking so close to Song Shi that people would have thought that she was Song Shi's woman.

Song Shi took a sip of the wisdom tea brewed by Bai Yu'er. His gaze landed on the broken ghost pit on the ground. Many of the originally thick chains had been broken.

However, in the depths of the ghost pit, there was still ghost fog pervading the air, and wild shrieks and howls could be heard.

"It seems that they have not been completely destroyed. They must have retreated to the Spirit Land."

Song Shi was deep in thought. The Heavenly Ghost Sect had a special space like the Spirit Land where they could hide. Hence their defense was top notch

Hence although it was easy for the Qian Dragon Army to destroy the buildings on the ground, it was difficult for them to chase down the Heavenly Ghost Sect cultivators who had hidden in the Spirit Land.

"Young Master, are you going to help the Heavenly Ghost Sect?"

Bai Yu'er asked. In the past few days, she had called Song Shi a Perfected Lord Martial Emperor a few times. He did not seem to like it and asked her to call him Young Master.

"I naturally have to do what I promised. Moreover, with you both the Black and White Snake Demons around, interfering in this matter is nothing."

Song Shi smiled faintly. Even if he did not make a move, with the two Great Demon Venerables around, would Great Qian be able to completely destroy Heavenly Ghost Sect?

"Young Master, there's no need for us to deal with this group of trash."

The Black Snake was disdainful. In fact, he had yet to accept reality and did not want to show his face.

Otherwise, everyone would know that he had become a subordinate of a Human.

"What are you saying? If we don't make a move, are we going to let Young Master do it?"

Bai Yu'er said coldly.

"Alright, I'll naturally settle the matter I promised. You guys are in charge of doing the odd jobs."

Song Shi waved his hand. After he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, he did not have the comprehension of the Soul Transformation realm to use directly. He still needed to fight to increase his experience and strength. Otherwise, it would not be enough to sit still and rely on his current Comprehension.

He observed the periphery of the ghost pit. A group of cultivators in armor were hiding and surrounding the place, but they were also guarding against the outside.

"Interesting. They seem to be waiting for something. Are they waiting for something to happen?"

Song Shi muttered and continued to investigate the nearby situation. The army that besieged the Heavenly Ghost Sect was stationed not far away. The strongest was at the Nascent Soul Martial Emperor level.

It seemed that the top experts were inferior to them, but these cultivator armies could form a battle formation. If they really fought, even Soul Transformations would have to retreat.

"I'll go down and take a look."

Song Shi walked out of the cloud and used Divine Teleportation Footwork. In the blink of an eye, he landed at the edge of the ghost pit.

The huge crack in the ghost pit caused by the battle was like a canyon. A few invisible cultivator soldiers were chatting.

"Will the rabbits come again? We caught a few last time. I don't think they'll be around anymore, right?"

"Why do you care if they come or not? Even if they don't come, we have to guard this place so that the ghost things inside can't come out and cause trouble."

"I don't think they dare to come out. Perfected Lord Demon Slayer is guarding this place. If they come out, we'll smash them to death."

Song Shi overheard the discussion and fell into deep thought.

Were these people waiting for Lu Youyou and the others? It sounded like someone had already invaded the ghost pit. Were these guys planning to save the people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect or invade the Spirit Land?

He retracted his aura and drew an Invisibility Talisman on his body.

This was the power of the Heavenly Talisman Technique. Ordinary talismans could be casually conjured from afar or drawn on one's body with it.

In fact, because his body was strong, the talismans he drew were more suitable than the talismans formed out of thin air, so it was very convenient.

As the Invisibility Talisman took effect, the surrounding light distorted and he disappeared into thin air.

He came to the ghost pit and took a closer look. A portion of the Heavenly Ghost Sect's array had already been broken, and another set of Array Formations had been set up in the depths. Anyone who rashly went over would be blocked by the Array Formation.

He could break it himself, but it would take some time. There had to be no powerhouses guarding nearby.

After quickly keeping the situation in mind, Song Shi walked invisibly in an orderly manner. This time, he didn't rush over brainlessly to posture just because he couldn't die. Instead, he first investigated the situation. He thought that he had improved a lot.

He turned around and went to his cave abode in the sect. It had also been broken through and Bai Xiaoqin was nowhere to be found.

With what he had left behind, Bai Xiaoqin should not die.

Looking at the dilapidated house, Song Shi sighed in his heart, "Sigh, it's so difficult to find a place to stay peacefully. I haven't lived here for long, but it's already been wiped out."

Ever since he stepped onto the path of cultivation, he had changed several places of residence. One was the Song Residence, where he grew up, and the other was the Yao Moon Palace, where he had only stayed for a few days. The nearest residence was here, and it seemed that he could not stay any longer.

Just as he was considering whether he could contact Lu Youyou and the others, a battle suddenly broke out in the distance. Someone shouted excitedly, "The rabbits are here!"

A group of people immediately jumped out of the seemingly empty ruins and surrounded a few figures.

"Not good, they have an ambush. Retreat first!"

When Perfected Lord Ghost Fiend saw this, he knew that they were waiting for them. He hurriedly held his Dharma treasures and broke through the encirclement, wanting to escape.

Crack! Crack!

In the distance, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. A golden demon subduing pestle descended from the sky and smashed into the evil spirit's magical treasure with a honglong sound. It stabbed into the ground, and the power of lightning filled the air, blocking the few of them.

"Amitabha, please stay. I'll redeem you."

A burly monk flew out from afar. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was a ring scar on his head. The power of lightning flickered on his golden skin, making him look like an angry Vajra.

Gui Sha's expression changed, and he sped up, "Perfected Lord Demon Slayer, why are you so dedicated to your work?"

"It's our duty to eliminate demons and uphold justice."

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer pressed his palms together,and a bunch of cultivators holding weapons appeared behind him, blocking the path of the Heavenly Ghost sect cultivators.

There were also cultivators lying in ambush in the ghost pit who rushed out and surrounded them in the blink of an eye.

"These people have sinned greatly. Send them to hell."

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer's eyes flashed with killing intent. He grabbed the Demon Subduing Pole and threw it at Ghost Fiend.

The battle broke out on the spot. The cultivators who had been prepared for it cooperated seamlessly. In just one round, they blasted the evil spirit and the others until they vomited blood. They were no match for them at all.

"Damn it, it's been half a year. Why are they still guarding here?!"

Ghost Fiend was the least injured, but he could see how dangerous the situation was. Even he might not be able to escape today.

Just as they were in despair, a sun descended from the sky and exploded on Perfected Lord Demon Slayer's head with a bang, sending him flying and instantly breaking the siege.

"Perfected Lord Demon Slayer, right? Take a rest today. I have something to discuss with them."

Song Shi's voice echoed.

295 Why Are You So Weak?

The anxious Ghost Fiend saw Song Shi walking over from afar and said in joy, "Blood-Robed old ghost!"

He sensed Song Shi's cultivation level and was shocked, "You broke through. Unbelievable!"

Luo Chi, who was originally vomiting blood, could not help but widen his eyes when he heard his master's words.

"After devouring Ye Wenzhong's soul and obtaining the insights of the Nascent Soul, breaking through is nothing."

Song Shi did not think much of it.

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer stabilized himself and looked at his chest that was burned by the flames. He stared coldly at Song Shi. "Blood-Robed old ghost, according to some rumors, didn't you announce that you had left Heavenly Ghost Sect at the Lang Ya Immortal opportunity meeting?"

"I did leave the Heavenly Ghost Sect, but I haven't returned the favor yet. Why can't I come to return it now?"

Song Shi said calmly, "Take your men and leave. I won't beat you up."

"Hahaha, what did I hear?"

"This guy wants our Fiend Eradicators' leader to retreat. Does he really think he's comparable to a Soul Transformation cultivator?"

"Even a Soul Transformation cultivator wouldn't dare to do this, right?"

The surrounding Fiend Eradicators cultivators laughed. This was their territory. There were more than ten thousand cultivators stationed here. Why would they be afraid of a lone wolf?

"Shut up!"

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer glared at the laughing cultivator and the scene immediately quietened down.

He looked at Song Shi, "Are you really going against us?"

"I'm not here to discuss it with you. I'm just telling you the result of your imminent choice."

Song Shi's body began to glow. The air distorted and scorching flames danced, forming nine blazing suns that circled around him.

A powerful pressure spread out, and the faces of the people who had just mocked him turned pale. They understood why their boss wanted them to shut up. If they really provoked this person, other than True Martial Emperors, everyone else's lives would be in danger.

"I've received the emperor's grace. I can't retreat."

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer gripped the Demon Subduing Pole tightly as lightning Nomological power surged out with a buzz. His kasaya expanded and he stood there like a Guardian Vajra.

His voice was like thunder, "Form the Great Demon-Slaying Formation!"

Dozens of cultivators nearby formed hand seals. Nomological powers surged out and fused together. Amidst the colorful light, various Nomological powers formed a large net that Song Shi threw at him.

"Then let's fight."

Song Shi waved his hands, and nine fireballs condensed and smashed towards everyone like the falling sun.

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer's Demon Subduing Pole enlarged in his hand. Instantly, it was like a bolt of lightning that shone brightly as it smashed towards a fireball.

With a bang, the fireball shattered. After the explosion, it formed a circle of fire waves that exploded the Nomological power net into pieces, melting into waves of energy Flux on the spot.

The other fireballs smashed into the Demon Slaying Array, releasing a high temperature that could destroy everything, igniting the Array Formation.

Everyone exclaimed and hurriedly retreated. Song Shi chuckled and clapped on the spot. Endless golden light surged out of his palm, and flames surged, condensing into a dragon-shaped palm print.

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer, who had smashed the fireball, didn't have time to be surprised by the explosive power of the fireball before a dragon-shaped handprint flew towards him.

The energy contained within this palm print was extremely terrifying, and it was like a true dragon was flying over to envelop him with the intention of suppressing everything, causing him to be unable to avoid it.

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer formed a hand seal, and lightning flashed on his body. Nomological power surged out as he activated the power of the Demon Subduing Pole with all his might to block the fire dragon.

A deafening collision erupted, and the Void shook. There was no stalemate. The power of lightning of the Demon Subduing Palm was suppressed by the Dragon Subduing Palm on the spot.

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer grunted. He felt that his opponent's attack was like a volcano that kept erupting. It carried a terrifying explosive force and almost sent his demon subduing pestle flying.

"Die!"

After the other cultivators received the explosion of the Nine Yang Nomological power fireball, they heaved a sigh of relief and immediately attacked.

In an instant, all kinds of Dharma treasures rushed out. Flying swords, silver sabers, golden bells, pagodas… There were all kinds of Dharma treasures and Dharma artifacts. True Essence and Nomological power surged as they attacked Song Shi with their strongest methods.

Song Shi took a step forward, and the Will-O-Wisp on his body formed a huge circular barrier. The blood in his body boiled, and the golden light was dazzling, making the surroundings instantly brighter.

His protective Will-O-Wisp collided with the combined attack, and the deafening sound of collision reverberated continuously. All kinds of Dharma treasures were sent flying with a tremble.

Many low-level Dharma artifacts were shattered, causing their owners to suffer a backlash and cry out in pain.

Upon seeing this, Perfected Lord Ghost Fiend, who had wanted to help, was a little dumbfounded. How could this fellow's physical body be so terrifying that it could even destroy a person's Dharma treasures?

Before he could recover from his shock, Perfected Lord Demon Slayer was approached by Song Shi.

With a bang, he vomited blood from Song Shi's attack. His kasaya shattered, and a palm print appeared on his chest. Many of his bones were broken and he suffered a crushing defeat.

"He actually beat up Perfected Lord Demon Slayer so quickly. He can probably do whatever he wants at the Nascent Soul realm!"

Ghost Fiend muttered, unable to calm down. This person was still as fierce as ever.

In the Langya Mystic Realm, he had defeated the successors of the various countries with his Golden Core cultivation. Now that he had advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, it was even rarer.

Song Shi's entire body shone with divine light. His blood qi was like a dragon, and his Nomological powers formed nine sun phenomena. They were mysterious and powerful.

Looking at Perfected Lord Demon Slayer, who was clutching his chest and lying on the ground, vomiting blood and unable to get up, he frowned, "Why are you so weak?"

He was rather dissatisfied. He had only used half of his full strength, so why couldn't this guy take it? As expected, a Nascent Soul cultivator was still inferior to a Soul Transformation cultivator.

"Pfft!"

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at Song Shi. "Why are you so terrifying right after reaching the Nascent Soul realm? This is too illogical"

At this moment, he was indeed starting to doubt his life. As the leader of the Fiend Eradicators, his cultivation level was also very famous in Great Qian. To think that he would be defeated by this person who had just broken through in a single round. How could he face anyone in the future!

"Don't be so ignorant. I'm not interested in killing a weakling like you. If you don't want to die, get lost!"

Song Shi could not be bothered to attack again. Firstly, it was meaningless to fight. Secondly, he did not want to kill anyone who had not killed him before.

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer had an ugly expression on his face. After slaying demons for so many years, he had never encountered such a humiliation.

"Elder Ghost Fiend, where's Lu Youyou? I'm here to fulfill my promise. Is she dead?"

Song Shi turned around and looked at the dazed Ghost Fiend.

"Ah!"

Ghost Fiend was stunned for a moment and shook his head. "She's not dead. She successfully entered the Spirit Land. We came this time to meet up with the main group and enter the Spirit Land together. It's safer inside as we'll be hunted down outside."

After explaining the general situation in a few sentences, Song Shi basically understood. He said, "In that case, the casualties weren't too serious when we were surrounded back then. The sect master isn't dead, right?"

"He's seriously injured."

Ghost Fiend sighed. Then, his pupils constricted as he stared into the distance. A group of cultivators was charging over.

He immediately panicked. "Blood-robed Elder, the Qian Dragon Army is here. Let's go quickly and meet up with the sect master and the others in the Spirit Land."

Song Shi glanced at them. An army of ten thousand people came over majestically. Just the aura they gathered made the world lose its color. The dark clouds retreated and even Soul Transformation cultivators would change their expressions when they saw them.

"Alright, let's go. Let's not waste time with them for the time being."

Song Shi nodded and glanced at the dark clouds, "Follow me."

296 Semi Devils and Demi Gods

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer, who had just arrived because of the Qian Dragon Army, was shocked. "There's actually someone else!"

He stared warily at the spot where Song Shi was looking. Dark clouds were rolling, but there didn't seem to be anything.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two people, one black and one white, appeared out of thin air beside Song Shi. They were so fast that other than Song Shi, not many people present noticed them.

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer had originally wanted to stall for time and create advantage for the Qian Dragon Army. However, when he saw the two of them, he was almost scared out of his wits.

He took two steps back in fear and asked in surprise, "Black and White Snake Demon Venerable?"

"Young Master, it's said that the Spirit Land of the Sky Ghost Sect is filled with evil spirits. I'm quite interested."

Bai Yu'er did not even look at Perfected Lord Demon Slayer as she sized up the ghost pit with a teasing expression.

"Let's go."

Song Shi left behind a word and crossed thousands of feet with a single step. In the blink of an eye, he arrived inside the ghost pit. He formed a seal and pointed at the void.

Crack! Crack!

A series of electric snakes jumped up at Song Shi's location and twisted rapidly. They spread out with a dazzling light and formed a terrifying electric net.

If anyone approached rashly, they would definitely be electrocuted.

Ghost Fiend, who had hurried over, saw this scene and his expression turned ugly. "Damn it, there's an ambush on both inside and outside!"

"Blood-Robed old ghost, Perfected Lord Ghost Fiend, you can't escape."

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer chased after them confidently. Behind him, an army of cultivators had already arrived.

This gave him confidence. "Even if the two of you are really the two Demon Venerables of the Snake Clan, don't even think about getting any benefits today."

At this moment, he suspected that the two Snake Demon Venerables were illusions. He had heard that this Blood-Robed old ghost had chosen the ancient Illusionary Scroll on the Langya Immortal opportunity platform. He might have made up this illusion.

Moreover, even if it were really the two Demon Venerables, he believed that with the army of cultivators that was already here, he did not have to be too afraid.

"This array formation is nothing. You want to stop me?"

Song Shi was disdainful. He mobilized his Nomological power and condensed runes with his hand seals, pointing them at the array, like worms entering the electric net.

The array formation that contained the power of lightning collapsed with a bang, revealing a gap.

"Stop them!"

In the army of cultivators, the leading general gave the order and shot out streams of Nomological power and True Essence.

The cultivation techniques cultivated by these cultivators seemed to be systematic. Their Stats were extremely compatible and they cooperated seamlessly. They had practiced this many times.

Under the lead of the leading general, the power of many people quickly transformed into a huge colorful seal that was more than a thousand meters tall.

The mountain-like seal floated for a moment before it pressed down heavily. The oppressive aura was released first.

RUMBLE!

Thousands of cultivators joined forces. It was really majestic. The colorful seal shook the Void and enveloped Song Shi and the others.

Ghost Fiend's body sank, and his face turned pale.

Even with his cultivation, he felt as though a calamity had descended. The other disciples and elders were even more pressured to the point of being unable to fly. Their chests felt stuffy and they could not use much of their cultivation.

"I hate cultivator armies the most. Everyone is clearly so weak that they can be killed with a slap, but when they gather together, they can move an elephant despite being ants."

Black Snake looked disgusted.

Bai Yu'er revealed a solemn expression and volunteered, "Young Master, let me do it."

"No hurry."

Song Shi turned around and a glint flashed across his eyes. "It's true that there's strength in numbers, but it will also cause your strength to dissipate too much. No matter how well you cooperate, you can't compare to being a strong person."

His body shone with golden light and flames jumped. He grabbed at the void and a spiritual sword with golden runes appeared.

When Perfected Lord Demon Slayer saw this, he frowned, "Why is Ling'er's sword in your hand?"

"She gave it to me as a love token."

Song Shi acted as if it was true. Clanging sounds reverberated as spiritual sword Qi erupted.

The dim space that was covered by the seal suddenly lit up.

A fused sword aura that contained Pure Yang Fire and Metal Origin tore through the darkness and slashed against the treasure seal.

The latter continued to fall, but in the next moment, it trembled and a sword mark appeared. Then, it caused the combined power to become chaotic, breaking it inch by inch until it collapsed with a bang.

The huge seal was like a firework that bloomed in midair. It was dazzling, but its power was not displayed fully at all. It was destroyed halfway.

"It actually broke the combined attack of the cultivator army!"

The Ghost Fiend was stunned. His worldview was shaken by this unequal change.

Ads by Pubfuture

He had personally seen the cultivator army use a similar method to directly destroy a sect's sect-protecting array formation. It was not something ordinary individuals could compare to.

"How is that possible? Even a Soul Transformation cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand this attack so easily."

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer was a little confused.

Not to mention him, even the entire cultivator army was shocked by this outcome. They stopped in their tracks and fell silent for a moment.

"What are you waiting for? Do you want to be hit again?"

Song Shi glanced at the dumbfounded Luo Chi and the others before passing through the broken array formation and entering the depths of the ghost pit.

"Young Master, you broke the joint attack of the Qian Dragon Army with your dexterity. I'm really impressed."

Bai Yu'er smiled coquettishly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with amazement as she twisted her waist and followed closely behind.

"He knows Array Formations and knows how to break battle formations. This person knows too much."

Black Snake sighed in his heart. The unwillingness to accept his fate dissipated and he gradually accepted his fate.

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer stopped in front of the Array Formation and looked at the array barrier that was beginning to recover. There was fear in his eyes and he did not dare to pursue anymore.

"The Blood-Robed old ghost is actually more powerful than the rumors say. He is really beyond my expectations. In so many years, he is the first to break through the attack of the Qian Dragon Army with the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator. He is truly the enemy of cultivators."

The armored general of the Qian Dragon Army landed with a dark expression. He sighed and said, "Is our country's future really going downhill? Why did we encounter such a freak of nature?"

"Hmph, it's just that his strength is abnormal. I don't believe he is that influential."

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer was indignant and the veins on his hand that was holding the Demon Subduing Pole bulged.

"Regardless of whether he can influence the country or not, the key is that this is troublesome. With him interfering, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to deal with the remaining members of the Heavenly Ghost Sect."

The general frowned, "The Crown Prince already suffered a disadvantage in his hands. I'm not going to waste time here. It's better to stay away."

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer's expression changed. After a moment of silence, he brought up another matter. "Do you think the two people beside him are the Black and White Snake Demon Venerables? Wasn't he captured by those two greater demons back then?"

"It doesn't look like an illusion, but it's too unbelievable for these two Demon Venerables to follow him."

The general hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "No matter what, it's better for us to stay away from him. The situation is getting worse. It's better for us to gather more troops. If he really attacks, we have a larger chance to die of old age if we have more support."

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer looked at the latter coldly. "You're one of the Demi God of this country's Semi Devils and Demi Gods. It's not good for His Majesty to hear that."

"This place is too high and the emperor is far away. What's there to be afraid of? Moreover, His Majesty has already reached the Soul Transformation realm. He's probably thinking about ascension. If he really has to choose between staying in the world and ascension, he will definitely choose to ascend."

The general said meaningfully.

Perfected Lord Demon Slayer's expression changed. "Since all the remaining members of the Heavenly Ghost Sect have been chased to the Spirit Land, let's seal the Ghost Pit and announce that we have destroyed them completely."

"Brother Demon Slayer is wise."

The general smiled. This time, not only was the Qian Dragon Army dispatched to deal with the Heavenly Ghost Sect, but the Fiend Eradicators were also helping them. This kind of compromise naturally had to be negotiated between both parties.

297 Ghost Transformation Spirit

In the depths of the ghost pit was endless darkness. Only wisps of ghost fire occasionally appeared, and it was far less lively than before.

The nine suns suddenly cut through the darkness, followed by more than ten figures.

Song Shi asked, "Why didn't they enter the Spirit Land?"

"I think they tried. Just that they didn't succeed."

Ghost Fiend guessed and explained, "Brother Blood Robes, you might not know this, but the Spirit Land is related to the Netherworld Realm to a certain extent. It's a spatial fragment left behind from ancient times and still has the power of the Netherworld. The deeper they go, the more unsuitable it is for living people. No matter how strong their overall strength is, they are only a group of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators. It's possible for them to be wiped out if they rashly enter."

"Young Master, he's right. It's not suitable to stay in the Spirit Land for long. Otherwise, you'll become a dead person."

Bai Yu'er teased, "The people of the Heavenly Ghost Sect have been in there for a long time yet they couldn't leave since they would be ambushed. They're probably going to live up to the name of the sect. They have probably all turned into ghosts now."

Ghost Fiend frowned and said indifferently, "That will indeed happen. However, my sect's cultivation method is suitable to walk this path to begin with. Even the best Upper Realm to ascend to is the Netherworld Realm. It's nothing to us."

Song Shi found it strange, "Wait, I suddenly realized that the Upper Realm you're talking about is not a world."

"Young Master, do you think it's a world?"

Bai Yu'er glanced sideways, thinking that Song Shi knew about the Upper Realm.

"There's too little information about the ascension. I don't read ancient books every day, so I'm not too sure."

Song Shi said matter-of-factly, "But I can learn about it now."

Bai Yu'er came to a realization and introduced, "Actually, the Upper Realm we usually talk about is the Upper Realm we want to ascend to. It's the Upper Realm that living people want to go to. However, it's not the case for some special cultivators. For example, those who cultivate the Ghost Dao can go to the Netherworld Realm, and those who cultivate the Demon Dao can ascend to the Heavenly Demon Realm. However, the Upper Realm that's the easiest to go to is still the Black Spirit Realm. It's also an Upper Realm that anyone can go to."

Song Shi immediately understood. It was normal that there was more than one Upper Realm outside the Boundless Continent. He was not too surprised.

"Blood-robed Elder, since our foundation outside has been destroyed, we don't have a good place to go. This time, we're prepared to walk the ghost path in the Ghost Land. Your path is different from ours. You don't have to follow us in."

Ghost Fiend said, "If you go out now, you still have a chance to leave. If you're too late, you might be blocked."

"Let's go take a look first. They can't stop me."

Song Shi was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to see if Bai Xiaoqin was inside.

"Alright, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to enter at all."

Ghost Fiend was sincerely grateful.

"I've already said that it's a promise. It's only right for me to return some of the good stuff that the Heavenly Ghost Sect gave me."

Song Shi flicked his finger, and flames lit up brightly. The underground river shattered, and the originally green Ghost River disappeared, as if it had been evaporated by some power.

"Sure enough, they've attacked this place before. They must have failed."

Ghost Fiend's expression darkened, "The situation at that time must have been worse than we imagined."

He scanned the area. "I can't believe the entrance is gone."

"There's a slight displacement of the Spirit Space entrance."

had Song Shi looked at the end of the dark river. Ever since he had died many times in the spatial storm and browsed through the Void Sutra, his perception of void fluctuations was very sensitive.

He flew forward, "The entrance is in the deep end now."

After advancing for a few kilometers, an area that emitted dense green ghost flames appeared. A huge crack appeared in the space, causing a fissure to appear in the underground rocks.

In the depths of the fissure, densely packed Spirits floated. There were beasts, humans, and soldiers in armor.

"Wu~"

Amidst the wild shrieks and howls, a gust of ghostly wind blew out, and green vortexes strangely appeared in all directions, making one's hair stand on end.

Densely packed spirits flew over, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws like moths to a flame. As soon as they came into contact with the circle of light emitted by the flames, they turned into ashes and smoke.

"The power of the Spirit Space has become much more berserk."

Ghost Fiend looked at the entrance. "It should be caused by the battle."

"Let's talk inside."

Song Shi ignored the sinister wind and ghostly fire at the spatial rift and walked in with Chen Yiling's sword.

A bone-chilling power blew over, causing the flames on his body to sway. The power of the spirit and the power of pure Yang were consuming each other intensely. The former seemed endless, but Song Shi's power was more Domineering. He would definitely have the upper hand in a short period of time.

"Damn it, it has only been a few days since I cam out from an underground cave and now we have to enter another godforsaken place again."

Song Shi pursed his lips. He instinctively did not like this place.

He felt that this space was rejecting him. It was even more pressurizing than last time. It was probably because he had become stronger.

A green light appeared in front of him, and the things revealed were gray. Song Shi looked at the dilapidated space and was surprised. Has this place been messed up so badly? The Qian Dragon Army is quite capable."

"Where's the Bull-Headed Horse-Face guarding the door? The last time I came here, there was still one."

Ads by Pubfuture

Black Snake was dissatisfied from behind. "This time, there isn't even anyone guards welcoming guest. I don't think these Ghostly Emperors have any respect at all."

"Something's wrong. Look, there are many spatial cracks in this space. Can the Qian Dragon Army cause such destruction?"

Bai Yu'er conjured a white snake with Nomological power and flew out. Before it could fly far, there was a cracking sound.

A black line appeared and cut the Nomological power white snake in half. It looked exceptionally sharp.

The expressions of Luo Chi and the others with low cultivation levels who followed in turned cold. They did not dare to walk around at all, afraid that they would be like this.

Song Shi did not say anything and continued forward, avoiding the black lines that appeared from time to time. These were spatial cracks that could directly cut through Dharma treasures. They were more powerful than most sabers in the world.

They walked for several miles, but they didn't see a single living person. There were only some low-level ghosts that didn't have consciousness.

"There are too many spatial cracks. It's not easy to investigate."

Song Shi muttered. The space here was a little chaotic, and the thoughts released could easily be destroyed by the spatial rift.

As he said this, he reached out and touched a spatial crack. With a whoosh, a light flashed and the black line was cut off by his finger.

Behind him, Black Snake's face twitched. His body could not even be destroyed by spatial cracks. It was simply a humanoid Numinous artifacts.

At this moment, the ghost wind in the distance intensified, and a huge monster rushed over.

Tap, tap, tap!

The sound of horse hooves sounded out urgently. It was actually a Horse-faced monster with green flames all over its body. It rushed over with a broken sword in its hand.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

It let out a furious roar. Like a wild beast, it had no rationality.

When Song Shi saw this Horse Face, he felt that it was a little familiar, but it was not like the Horse Face he had seen last time.

Ghost Fiend recognized him and said hurriedly, "Blood-robed Elder, this is Elder Wang. He must have lost his mind when he transformed into a ghost spirit. Please show mercy."

"Elder Wang?"

Song Shi was stunned. After being reminded, he finally recognized this guy.

Wasn't this Wang Xilian who had offended him because of Bai Xiaoqin? How did he become like this?

Bai Yu'er raised her hand and the light of ice shone. Horse Face was directly frozen, maintaining its ferocious appearance.

"That's him. Blood-robed Elder, you should know that our Heavenly Ghost Sect has a secret technique that can transform cultivators into a ghost spirits under special circumstances so they can live a second life. Bulls and horses are often chosen by us when we transform into spirits because the two of them interact with people all year round and have spirituality and a certain level of humanity. Being a bull or a horse can reduce the risk of going crazy."

Ghost Fiend sighed. "From the looks of it, he hasn't completely succeeded, but he hasn't completely lost his spirituality yet. He can still be saved."

298 Nine Nether Ghost Spider (1)

"Looks like he was most likely killed and his soul took the initiative to fuse with the horse demon's soul?"

Song Shi sized up the Netherworld with interest. There was no Netherworld in this world, but with things like Ox-Head and Horse-Face, it was completely possible to build a Netherworld.

"It should be. After all, it's not the time to die of old age yet."

Ghost Fiend sighed and chanted an incantation. A dark light shot out and landed between Horse Face's eyebrows.

He shouted in a low voice, "Elder Wang, wake up quickly. Otherwise, you'll completely become a beast."

Bai Yu'er and Black Snake were dissatisfied. Who were they calling a beast?

But due to Song Shi's presence, they did not say much.

Wang Xilian's eyes trembled. In the midst his madness ravaged eyes, there was a human-like struggle. His rationality gradually recovered.

"Let him go."

Song Shi gestured to Bai Yu'er.

The latter regained his freedom and looked at Song Shi and Ghost Fiend with trembling eyes, "Why did you come in? You shouldn't have come. You shouldn't have come."

Song Shi was deep in thought as he asked, "Did anything happen here?"

"Dead, they're all dead!"

Wang Shilian sat on the ground weakly. Tears flowed out of his eyes, and he was in a daze.

"Elder Wang, tell me exactly what happened."

Luo Chi was a little anxious. He thought that the situation here would be better, but it was not the case. He was already a little frustrated.

Wang Shi's Horse's mouth trembled. "More than half a year ago, we were suddenly ambushed by the Qian Dragon Army and the Fiend Eradicators. The army pressed down on the border, and the sect protection array didn't last long before it was destroyed. The sect was surrounded and suffered countless casualties. We had no choice but to retreat to the Spirit Land to continue fighting…"

"Isn't this similar to normal development? What happened after that? Where's Youyou?"

Ads by Pubfuture

Luo Chi did not understand.

"Dead. They're all dead."

Wang Shi restrained his Spirit and became unstable again. "I'm dead too. I want revenge. Kill!"

Wang Shilian, who was slumped on the ground, opened his mouth and bit at Luo Chi, forcing the latter to dodge.

"Die!"

Wang Shilian got up and was about to slash someone, but Bai Yu'er easily froze him with a flick of her finger.

When Song Shi saw that Wang Shi had gone crazy again, he frowned. "This guy's Spirit is in a mess. We won't be able to get anything out of him. Continue to go in and capture a normal person to ask."

He sped up and arrived at the place where the Black Mountain Ghostly Emperor had been sleeping. He discovered many large pits formed by the battle. A large number of cold white bones were scattered nearby, as well as some Dharma artifacts fragments.

Song Shi sensed a dangerous aura and looked at Bai Yu'er and Old Freak Hei, whose expressions had also changed. "There are Soul Transformation cultivators here?"

"I don't think so. Typically, Soul Transformation powerhouses of the Heavenly Ghost Sect will directly ascend to the Netherworld through this Spirit Land. They won't dare to act rashly like us because it's too dangerous to go to the Black Spirit World."

Black Snake shook his head.

"Then who did this aura come from? It's so unholy."

Song Shi muttered and immediately thought of something. "Unless…"

"This is the sect master's Soul Binding Chain. It actually broke!"

As Ghost Fiend exclaimed, he found a chain from the crack. His expression was ugly. "Is the Qian Dragon Army that powerful? Even the sect master's Dharma treasure was shattered."

At this moment, a circle of fog appeared out of thin air in the spirit space. It was grayish-black and spread continuously from a certain place.

The flames on Song Shi's body became fiercer. He instinctively felt uncomfortable. On a closer look, the black fog was rapidly melting his Pure Yang Fire.

"Ah!"

A Foundation Establishment disciple was enveloped by the fog for a moment. The barrier was destroyed in the blink of an eye. The flesh and blood that came into contact with the fog began to melt, and his bones were revealed.

"This is the Nine Nether Ghost Fog. Everyone, quickly defend yourselves. Otherwise, your vitality will be corroded and you will turn into bones."

Ads by Pubfuture

Ghost Fiend reminded with a solemn expression, "Everyone, help each other. Those who can't withstand it, retreat first."

"Ah!"

A miserable scream came from the depths of the ghost fog. It was especially mournful. Then, a woman with only half her body running over was covered in blood and her hair was disheveled. "Save me!"

Swoosh!

In the next second, she was pulled back by something. The ear-piercing scream lasted for a moment before it was interrupted by the sound of chewing.

A golden light flashed in Song Shi's eyes as he vaguely saw a monster with many tentacles. A powerful sense of oppression spread over.

"The aura here comes from it!"

Bai Yu'er stared at the monster in the distance, "Perfected Soul Transformation! There's actually a perfected Soul Transformation ghost here!"

Black Snake frowned. "If I'm not wrong, it must have devoured most of the ghosts here. That's too crazy."

"I just don't know who this monster is."

Song Shi narrowed his eyes. The Nine Nether Ghost Fog was too dense for him to see clearly.

The monster also sensed them and slowly raised its head. A cold wind blew, causing the black fog to roll violently.

Four rows of eight blood-red lanterns appeared in the fog. A strange and unholy aura shot out from the blood-red eyes. There was no trace of human emotion, only violence, killing, and coldness, as well as a trace of greed.

Song Shi felt like he was being targeted like a prey. He instinctively felt uneasy. The Black and White Demon Venerables even unleashed all their demonic power to deal with the enemy.

The others immediately fell to their knees. It was difficult for them to withstand the pressure that filled the void. Some even fainted.

Bang bang!

The spirit space shook, and the monster quickly walked over. More of its body size was revealed. Its mountain-like body was not very tall and it looked very agile.

Song Shi looked over and said in surprise, "It's actually a spider."

The monster that looked like a tentacle from afar was actually a black spider. The blood-red lantern was its eye, and its body carried an incomparably brutal aura.

"This guy is dangerous!"

Black Snake uneasily activated the Bone Transformation Poison.

299 Nine Nether Ghost Spider (2)

"Other than Ox-Head and Horse-Face, could this thing have also transformed after death?"

Song Shi asked casually.

Ghost Fiend was bewildered. "It's the Nine Nether Ghost Spider. It's a mutated species of heaven and earth. It's said that it can devour gods and devils. It's very terrifying."

"The title sounds impressive."

Song Shi did not look afraid. Instead, he was eager to give it a try. It was obvious that this huge Ghost Spider was very powerful. It was a good opponent for him to experience being tortured brutally.

"It's said that this thing is a mutant from the Netherworld Realm. Why would it appear here?"

Bai Yu'er looked at Ghost Fiend. She believed that the latter would have an explanation.

Ghost Fiend said bitterly, "In the entire Heavenly Ghost Sect, only the sect master can come into contact with such a ferocious thing. Could it be that the sect master transformed into this?"

"Lu Jiu?"

Song Shi sized him up, but he really couldn't see any trace of him.

Splash!

In the next moment, the Nine Netherworld Ghost Spider opened its mouth and spat out a spider web. The spider web was actually pitch-black chains. Only then did Song Shi have no choice but to believe that this monster was really Lu Jiu.

Crack, crack!

The ground was pierced through by the chains, and Song Shi and the others who were dodging scattered. They looked up at the Nine Netherworld Ghost Spider, which was still thousands of feet tall and exceptionally dangerous.

"Ghost Fiend, from the looks of it, there's no hope for him anymore, right?"

Song Shi asked.

In the distance, Wang Xilian, who had been led away by the disciples and elders, saw the Nine Netherworld Ghost Spider. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he was filled with fear.

"I can't see any humanity at all. He has completely become a monster."

Ghost Fiend had a sorrowful look on his face. "I understand what Elder Wang said. All of them are dead. Part of them were killed by the Qian Dragon Army, while the other part… was killed by the sect master. The Heavenly Ghost Sect only exists in name now."

"What a pity. Lu Jiu is quite a good person, but he was forced to become a monster."

Song Shi sighed. He believed that a scheming person like Lu Jiu would definitely not take the risk of fusing with a ghost spirit. Because he would lose his rationality and become like this.

"Sect Master, do you still recognize me? You didn't kill Elder Wang so you must still have some rationality. Don't give up."

Ghost Fiend cried out in grief.

An ear-piercing cry suddenly erupted. This sound was extremely sharp and contained a strange and terrifying power. Ghost Fiend spat out blood and blood flowed out of his mouth and nose. He was injured on the spot.

The elders and disciples who had already hidden far enough were stunned by the cry on the spot. Even the entire space rippled, and more spatial cracks appeared.

Song Shi, Bai Yu'er and the Black Snake, who had the strength of the Soul Transformation realm, also felt their ears buzz and their heads spin.

After intimidating its prey, the Nine Netherworld Ghost Spider moved. Its legs stabbed at Song Shi and Bai Yu'er at the same time like a huge spear. Black Snake was targeted by the chains.

The nine suns beside Song Shi shone brightly. Be it their size or brightness, they were rapidly increasing. The power of extreme yang forcefully evaporated the surrounding ghost fog, opening up a battle domain that was suitable for him.

However, the power of the spider leg was even more terrifying. Cracks actually appeared in the Void in front of him under the spider leg. It could be said to be the strongest attack he had faced so far.

The Nine Nether Ghost Spider attacked the three of them at the same time. As for a Nascent Soul cultivator like Ghost Fiend, he was directly ignored and was not qualified to be noticed.

Bai Yu'er and Black Eccentric both chose to dodge. Only Song Shi took out his Golden Dragon Spear and fused all his physical strength, Nomological power, and Physique Talent into it. He transformed into a fire dragon and collided with it.

Boom!

Song Shi's Dharmic powers phenomenon shattered. The Nine Nether Spider Emperor's spider legs collided with the Golden Dragon Spear, producing a crisp sound. Then, Song Shi fell rapidly, smashing through the ground more than ten feet away.

"So powerful!"

With a cry of surprise, blood flowed from the corner of Song Shi's mouth. He felt that for the first time, he almost could not even hold his weapons. He once again experienced the difference in realm.

At this moment, there was darkness above his head again. Another spider leg stabbed over at lightning speed. Cracks appeared in the void along the way. The attack power was so powerful that even this space could not withstand it.

Song Shi used Divine Teleportation Footwork and quickly jumped out of the pit. There was a rumble behind him, and the ground shook as if the Spirit Land was about to be penetrated.

"Why is he so much stronger than Black Snake?"

Song Shi landed at the side, feeling a little puzzled.

Black Snake, who was also in a sorry state, was rather speechless, "This is a mutant from the Netherworld Realm. Among the ghosts and demons, it's an existence comparable to my ancestor, the Blackwater Mystic Snake. How can its strength be weak?"

"Young Master, this thing is fierce to begin with. Now that it's at the right time and place, its combat strength is even more terrifying. We have to work together to deal with it."

Bai Yu'er agreed.

"Take the people and retreat first. Don't let the aftershock kill them when I fight later."

Song Shi waved his hand. "I'll fight him first."

Even if he did not deliberately send himself to his death now, with such a powerful fellow will make sure that he will still die a few times.

"Yes, Young Master. Be careful."

Bai Yu'er knew that Song Shi was very difficult to kill. Without any hesitation, she swept up her demonic power and quickly led her people away from the battlefield.

Black Snake was weaker than Bai Yu'er to begin with. At this moment, he was even more unwilling to fight the Nine Nether Ghost Spider. He turned around and left.

Song Shi mobilized all his strength. With a bang, the Void shook.

Golden light shone from his body, forming a Hardiness barrier. Large amounts of flames soared into the sky and continued to condense new sun phenomena near the nine suns. In the blink of an eye, there were eighty-one suns, forming a fire domain.

He was surrounded by dense sword qi. The power of the blood path cultivation technique in his body fused with the water attribute origin, activating the Blood Dragon Numinous artifacts. All kinds of powers formed a Yin-Yang diagram and circulated, forming a system of their own.

Song Shi was like a Golden Arhat bathed in fire. He had an extraordinary aura about him. Even though his strength was much weaker, his Aura did not lose out. He blocked the ferocious Nine Nether Ghost Spider alone.

He held the Golden Dragon Spear in his right hand and the long sword in his left. Then he stepped on the Blood Dragon. The fire dragon in the Yin-Yang Image roared and said fearlessly, "Lu Jiu, I'm very curious. Did you eat your daughter?"

If Lu Youyou was eaten by his father, Song Shi still felt that it was quite pitiful. Although that woman's mouth was a little foul and she was rude and unreasonable. He did not expect such an outcome.

Another scream. The Nine Netherworld Ghost Spider seemed to be a little angry, or perhaps it was it's normal scream.

This time, the illumination that contained a mental attack was only aimed at Song Shi. His head felt as if it had been pierced by a needle and he was in extreme pain. He was about to bleed from all seven orifices and his Spirit was instantly damaged.

He hurriedly visualized the Great Yin and condensed his Spiritual strength into one. Brilliant moonlight bloomed between his brows, blocking the mental attack and continuing to cause trouble.

Splash!

While Song Shi was on guard due to the mental attack, the Nine Nether Ghost Spider's spider web took the opportunity to entangle Song Shi. The cold unholy power collided with the Pure Yang Nomological power, producing a sizzling corrosive sound.

The Dharma treasures not only locked his body, but Song Shi also felt his soul being affected, making it even harder for him to escape.

Then, with a flash of black light, an Impale shot towards Song Shi's head.

Puff, puff, puff!

The rings of Fire Defense released by Song Shi were pierced through. The sun-like fireballs exploded continuously, and the sword aura shattered. The sharp spider legs stabbed in front of Song Shi, but he blocked them with his sword.

"Are you angry, or arrogant that you were insane enough to eat your own daughter, or is it something else?"

He still had time to tease him.

However, his expression quickly changed. At the same time, three spider legs stabbed over and he was locked in place, unable to dodge.

"Stop bullying me for only having two hands!"

Song Shi was speechless. He blocked the second spider leg with both hands with difficulty. The third one broke through his remaining Defense and then the fourth one pierced through his body.

"The gap between us is still a little big. I need to continue working hard."

Song Shi sighed. He could barely fight an intermediate-stage Soul Transformation expert like Black Snake. It could be said that, he was not be a match for this.

In particular, the Nine Nether Ghost Spider's methods were terrifying. Not only did it have eight legs, but it could also use them for attack as a weapon. It also had spider webs to restrain the enemy, making it even harder to deal with in battle.

Song Shi, who had been killed, received a reward and quickly revived, landing in the distance.

He thought for a moment and said, "If you really can't recover your rationality, I can only kill you to avoid trouble. As for the promise, I have no choice. After all, you're already in this state. I can't think of a way to save you for the time being."

The Nine Netherworld Ghost Spider looked at the resurrected Song Shi and its eyes flickered for a moment.

Any living being would be shocked to see something that had already been killed by them alive and kicking.

It was no exception.

With this fluctuation, something suppressed loosened. One of the eyes twisted for a moment, and a human face vaguely appeared. A hoarse voice sounded. "Blood-Robed old ghost, it can't kill you even like this. You're really unbelievable."

300 The Six Paths of Reincarnation (1)

Song Shi was stunned. "Eh, you haven't lost your mind? It makes my words seem a little silly."

What made him even more confused was that another human face appeared in the other eye. It was actually Ghost Butcher.

Not only Ghost Butcher, but he also saw Old Man Nightmare.

He was flabbergasted. "Are you all the Calabash Brothers[1]? How many souls can a Nine Nether Spider contain?"

Lu Jiu, who had just regained some of his rationality, had his curiosity piqued by Song Shi's words. "What kind of demon is the Calabash Brothers? Is it very powerful? I've never heard of it."

"It's just seven brothers born from calabashes on a vine. They each have an ability but are not very strong. They only know how to spit fire and lift heavy things."

Song Shi explained seriously then asked, "What exactly is going on? The Calabash Brothers were born from the same vine so at the very least, they are brothers. This doesn't count, right?"

"We couldn't think of another method. The Nine Netherworld Devil Spider is an extremely sinister and evil ferocious creature. I knew that one person would definitely not be able to withstand the corrosion of the Nine Netherworld Devil Spider's ferocious nature, so when I asked them to help, I wanted to use the minds of many people to control it, but I still failed."

Lu Jiu explained the reason with a helpless expression. "I didn't have any previous experience, yet I still wanted to cooperate, but it became even more chaotic."

"I see. What about my maid, Bai Xiaoqin?"

Song Shi asked again.

"She—"

Lu Jiu shook his head. "She disappeared after the sect was destroyed."

Song Shi guessed that Bai Xiaoqin had escaped through the Teleportation Talisman and asked again, "What about Lu Youyou? I came because of my promise to her."

However, Lu Jiu revealed an expression of agony. "She's dead. When we lost control and attacked the three Ghostly Emperors here, she was swept away by the spatial rift because of that. Not even her corpse was left after it."

Song Shi was silent.

Lu Youyou was actually gone just like that. Although he was already mentally prepared, hearing it with his own ears, Song Shi could not help but think of the spatial storm they had experienced and feel a little emotional.

"Sect Master, have you forgotten? Youyou isn't dead. We've already consumed her spirit."

Old Man Nightmare sighed.

Song Shi's hair stood on end. "What the hell? Why does it sound so much like a ghost story? Which one of you is telling the truth and which one is lying?"

Lu Jiu's face contorted in disbelief, "Wasn't she swallowed by the rift?"

"She was indeed swallowed because you asked us to control the Nine Nether Ghost Spider to rush over to rescue her. At the last moment, we ate her and kept her soul and she become a part of the Nine Nether Ghost Spider. It was precisely because of this that we completely lost control of the spider."

Old Man Nightmare sighed and lamented, "Sect Master, you used up too much energy to save Youyou and your consciousness fell into a deep sleep immediately so you didn't know what happened next. Later on, we protected Youyou's soul and we all fell asleep too."

Lu Jiu frowned as he vaguely recalled something.

Ghost Butcher looked at the fourth eye of the spider. "Back then, we tried our best to preserve her soul and placed it in the fourth eye. However, Youyou was too weak and wouldn't wake up even now."

Song Shi was flabbergasted. His gaze landed on the fourth eye with a fierce light and he vaguely saw Lu Youyou's figure.

"Are you all multi-souled?"

Song Shi's eyes widened. "You guys are so powerful. Does this has something to do with having multiple souls in one body?"

"More or less. If we can control and devour more souls, the Ghost Spider's strength will be even more terrifying."

Ghost Butcher nodded. "But there are too many consciousnesses in it, so we can't completely control it."

At the side, Lu Jiu said with an afflicted expression, "I remember the situation now, but even You You is like this. The Heavenly Ghost Sect basically only exists in name now. What's the point of revenge?"

"It's not just Youyou. The souls of many elders of our sect have been devoured by the Nine Nether Ghost Spider. It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens if one wants to rebuild the Heavenly Ghost Sect."

Ghost Butcher's expression was desolate. As they were depressed, the ferocious aura of the Nine Nether Ghost Spider suddenly soared and its eyes turned blood-red. Unholy and violent will surged out, wanting to devour their consciousness.

The three consciousnesses immediately revealed expressions of affliction. They wanted to resist, but it was difficult for them to gain the upper hand.

"Sect Master, I can't control myself anymore. I want to kill someone."

Ghost Butcher's soul's eyes slowly turned blood-red, and it was in a berserk state.

"Leave quickly. Before you even manage control this damned thing by a little, you will lose your rationality and become a crazy murderer."

Lu Jiu hurriedly said to Song Shi, "Take the others who are still alive and leave this place. Tell them to give up on avenging us. If they can continue the legacy of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, so be it. If they can't, then forget it."

"I disagree."

Song Shi shook his head, "I promised Lu Youyou to save you all. It's fine if your souls have already dissipated, but since you all are not completely dead, I have to try to recover your souls."

He sized up the Nine Netherworld Ghost Spider that was trembling and about to recover its control to start a massacre, "At the very least, you have to be like the Calabash Brothers on the same vine and have your own consciousness so that you won't be controlled by this beast."

"Fool! You're not our match if you stay here. Even if you're very difficult to kill, it's impossible for you to be a match for the perfected Soul Transformation Nine Nether Ghost Spider."

Lu Jiu was anxious. "I beg you, please leave quickly. At least leave a few people alive so there is still a little hope of rebuilding the Heavenly Ghost Sect."

Song Shi pursed his lips, "Don't worry. I've already gotten my subordinates to bring out a group of people who were in the way. I'm staying here because I want to play with you all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the few of them were completely devoured by the blood-colored light. Swirls appeared one after another, and the souls of the four of them were swallowed.

All the eyes of the Nine Netherworld Ghost Spider turned blood-red and they were once again filled with a violent killing intent.

It raised its head and let out a sharp cry. It stared fiercely at Song Shi and launched another ferocious attack.
