Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

The mantis monster with a human face let out a scream, and as its human-like face opened its mouth to vomit, a jet-black poisonous breath, as dark as ink, rolled towards the White Ghost Emperor.

The most terrifying aspect of the mantis monster with a human face wasn't its bladed foot attacks, it was the Hundred-Insect Gu Poison it spewed from its mouth. This poison was a convergence of venom from a hundred different poisonous insects.

Even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage, if sprayed with it even once, would have their Protective Body Aura collapse, be afflicted with a strange poison, and experience excruciating pain.

The White Ghost Emperor also split its mouth open to vomit out a pitch-black ghastly breath that intertwined with the poisonous breath, causing both to collapse and neutralize each other.

As the White Ghost Emperor and the mantis monster fought, the trees around them began to wither rapidly.

The young cultivator in a silver robe turned pale with fright and exclaimed, "The Ghost Spirit! I remember now! This is the King of Hundred Ghosts mentioned in the records of the Yin-Ghost Sect! This is Zhao Yu's true trump card!!"

"King of Hundred Ghosts!!"

The complexions of the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators present at the scene changed drastically all at once.

With the power of one sect alone, the Yin-Ghost Sect had contended against the four Great Sects of the Northern Desolation. Although they were ultimately suppressed by the joint effort of the Great Sects, none of the Great Sects were a match for the Yin-Ghost Sect on their own.

The ferocity of the few Ghost Spirits within the Yin-Ghost Sect was also known to many powerful beings of the Northern Desolation.

The old man covered in tumorous growths turned pale and roared in anger, "Yi Wanqing, Luo Weihao, what are you two waiting for? Take action! Let's kill that Evil Ghost together!"

With a wave of his hand, the old man with tumorous growths sent a flurry of Evil-Suppressing Talismans flying from his palms, shooting towards the White Ghost Emperor.

Although the Evil-Suppressing Talismans were just low-grade first-order Talismans, they were the most effective against evil spirits; even regular second-order Evil Ghosts could be injured by them.

Qiu Zhenning and Fang Shuanglan also brought out their Evil-Suppressing Talismans, turning them into a rain of symbols that flew towards the White Ghost Emperor.

The young cultivator in a silver robe showed a hint of pain in his eyes, as he brought out an Evil-Suppressing Talisman of his own. A stream of Evil-suppressing Pure Light shot out from the talisman and shone upon the White Ghost Emperor's body.

The Evil-Suppressing Talismans that landed near the White Ghost Emperor spontaneously combusted without any wind, turning into cleansing energy and vanishing without a trace, making little impact on the White Ghost Emperor.

However, the beam of Evil-suppressing Pure Light that fell upon the White Ghost Emperor caused its body to emit countless plumes of pitch-black smoke, as if it were beginning to burn.

At that moment, Zhao Yu appeared behind Fang Shuanglan like a ghost, wielding the Tiger Spirit Spear and stabbing viciously towards her back.

Fang Shuanglan was constantly on alert. The instant Zhao Yu appeared, her Divine Sense had already detected him, and she immediately brought forth a Spiritual Shield thin as white jade.

A phantom image of a ferocious tiger on the Tiger Spirit Spear materialized, instantly letting out a heart-shaking roar that transformed into a shockwave and struck Fang Shuanglan's body.

Fang Shuanglan instantly felt deafened, with a throbbing pain in her head, and her mana stalled for a moment.

The Tiger Spirit Spear thrust forward, piercing through Fang Shuanglan's head, then swiftly retracted, returning to Zhao Yu's hand.

Zhao Yu used the Earth Escape Technique and burrowed into the ground, disappearing from sight.

Meanwhile, although the White Ghost Emperor was cloaked in smoke from the Evil-suppressing Pure Light and appeared to be ignited, it remained fiercely violent. Plunging its claws into the body of the mantis monster with a human face, it tore it in half with a single forceful rip, splattering vile blood everywhere.

"You dared destroy my precious insect, die for that!!"

The old man with tumorous growths, his eyes red with fury, took out a Black Banner and shook it vigorously. Tendrils of black mist swirled, and a giant toad monster, about three meters tall and covered with massive pustules, leaped out from it.

The Dragon Ape also let out a roar and leaped towards the White Ghost Emperor.

The White Ghost Emperor's mouth split open, revealing a hint of mockery in his double pupils, the black ghostly qi surging beneath his feet. In an instant, he appeared before Qiu Zhenning, the weakest in strength, and with one claw wrapped in pitch-black ghostly qi, he ferociously thrust downwards.

"Save me!!"

A look of terror flashed in Qiu Zhenning's eyes as he screamed, all the evil-suppressing talismans on his body self-igniting. A great amount of evil-repelling power emerged around his body, and suddenly, a red shell shield sprung up in front of him, forming a red light shroud.

Clang!

The White Ghost Emperor's claw pierced through the red light shroud and slammed upon the red shell shield, unleashing pitch-black ghostly qi, rapidly corrupting the superior-ranking spiritual shield, diminishing its spirituality, and causing it to fall to the ground.

The Dragon Ape punched towards the White Ghost Emperor's back, and the massive toad monster's tongue also rolled towards the White Ghost Emperor. The silver-robed cultivator also directly sacrificed a superior-ranking spiritual artifact level magic sword, thrusting at the White Ghost Emperor.

Yi Wanqing, controlling two red flying daggers, and Luo Weihao, wielding a pitch-black flying fork, attacked the White Ghost Emperor from the side.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhao Yu emerged from the earth, appearing behind the White Ghost Emperor, and directly brought out the Black Tortoise spiritual shield.

Once the Black Tortoise spiritual shield appeared, a faint shadow of the Black Tortoise remanifested, forming an enormous shield to block the front.

The Dragon Ape's fist, the toad monster's tongue, the silver-robed cultivator's magic sword, the red flying daggers, and the pitch-black flying fork's attacks all bombarded the enormous shield but were blocked by it.

Zhao Yu's face slightly paled, a large amount of mana being drained from him.

In that instant, the White Ghost Emperor tossed aside the spiritual shield blocking in front of Qiu Zhenning and plucked off his head with one claw, tossing it aside before turning his head with a ferocious smile toward Yi Wanqing.

Among the remaining four cultivators, Yi Wanqing had the lowest cultivation level, merely at the Third Layer of the Foundation Establishment. She felt alarmed and horrified under the White Ghost Emperor's gaze and immediately retracted her red flying daggers, summoning a silver silk scarf and spreading out a defensive barrier.

The White Ghost Emperor's feet tapped lightly, and he pounced directly towards Yi Wanqing.

Zhao Yu executed the Earth Escape Technique, merging into the ground and disappearing from sight.

The massive toad monster also shot out its colossal tongue, lashing towards the White Ghost Emperor.

The magic sword of the silver-robed cultivator, which Zhao Yu had blocked, and Luo Weihao's pitch-black flying fork continued their assault on the White Ghost Emperor.

The White Ghost Emperor suddenly wheeled around, grabbing the Dragon Ape with one claw as pitch-black ghostly qi burst from his claw, thundering into the Dragon Ape's body.

Being a second-order superior demon beast with a thin trace of the genuine dragon bloodline, the Dragon Ape only felt numbness in its limbs for a moment due to the rush of pitch-black ghostly qi.

Seizing that moment, the White Ghost Emperor hoisted up the Dragon Ape and fiercely smashed it against the magic sword of the silver-robed cultivator.

Clang!!

Sparks scattered everywhere, the Dragon Ape's head being brutally penetrated by the magic sword of the silver-robed cultivator. With a miserable scream, it fell to the ground.

The White Ghost Emperor reached out and grabbed the massive toad monster's tongue, the pitch-black ghostly qi pouring out from his claws and entering the body of the massive toad monster. At the same time, he opened his mouth and sprayed out a stream of black qi, sweeping it across the pitch-black flying fork.

The pitch-black flying fork controlled by Luo Weihao was touched by the black qi and was immediately tainted, its spirituality corrupted, falling to the ground.
