Chapter 295: Chapter 218 Spells, Divine Skills Fail!

After the strike, Li Ping’an was startled to see a black mark slashed onto the Nine-Ranked Lotus Platform Seal that protected him; within the black mark, gases formed from black vapor, ghostly aura, killing intent, and malicious energy were ceaselessly drilling into the Lotus Platform through the seal!

"Netherworld Ghost General is indeed a Ghost General from hell, truly formidable!"

Li Ping’an immediately realized something bad was happening, and he experienced firsthand the might of the Netherworld Ghost General; he understood that the strength of the ghostly beings from hell was indeed extraordinary, but he remained fearless, jumping inside the Nine-Ranked Lotus Platform Seal and promptly cast Divine Skills: Send God!

"Netherworld Ghost General! Serve me! Send God!"

Li Ping’an shouted at the Netherworld Ghost General, only to find that his Divine Skills had absolutely no effect on it!

"Heavens! How is this possible?"

Li Ping’an’s Divine Skills, Send God, which could command the presence of Immortals, let alone ghosts, had no effect on the Netherworld Ghost General from hell. This was the first time he had encountered such a scenario!

"Oh?"

Upon closer inspection in his shock, Li Ping’an then noticed that the seven orifices, the brow chakra, and the spiritual platform of the Netherworld Ghost General were all sealed with a sinister black Talisman.

"So that’s how it is..."

"Hahahaha!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao immediately taunted Li Ping’an as he saw his shocked expression:

"Li Ping’an, I had anticipated your Divine Skills! When I summoned the Netherworld Ghost General, I used the Nightmare Black Talisman to seal off its senses, hearing, sight, and even its intellect and part of its soul. Otherwise, I, a mere mortal, could never control the Ghost General from the eighteenth layer of hell! Hahaha!"

After boasting, Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao decided to press Li Ping’an even further, to unleash full firepower, so he immediately roared:

"Fusion Technique! Black Flame Refines Heaven! Boundless Ghost Path!"

Following Nangong Zhidao’s roar, the Netherworld Ghost General tore off the black Talisman on its mouth, spewing a stream of black vapor towards the Four Red Suns Formation under Nangong Zhidao’s feet, mixed with the killing intent and malicious energy of ghostly, demonic, and devilish souls.

Once the black vapor entered the Four Red Suns Formation, the red and yellow flames suddenly turned into Black Flame. This time, the Black Flame shooting towards Li Ping’an was not only of a bizarre color but also immensely more powerful.

When the Black Flame touched Li Ping’an’s Ninth Grade Lotus Platform, it immediately etched black patterns on the surface, turning the symbol of Buddhism’s mana and light, the Ninth Grade Lotus Platform, into a blazing and eerie black lotus.

"You think these petty tricks are enough?"

Li Ping’an maintained a disdainful attitude, but the next second, he saw cracks forming on the blackened Ninth Grade Lotus Platform - more precisely, it was being corroded by the Black Flame, creating gaps. It wouldn’t be long before the Lotus Platform was completely eroded away.

And that wasn’t all; the Netherworld Ghost General also waved its left-hand command banner, which upon a single motion, caused evil spirits and lost souls beneath it to charge towards Li Ping’an like a mighty army, shaking the ground in their wake.

"There are more moves yet! Divine Skills: Send God!"

Li Ping’an, truly panicked now, fortunately knew that his opponent was controlling ghosts, so he promptly cast Divine Skills, Send God, at the ghostly hordes flooding towards him like a deluge.

"Hm?"

After successfully casting Divine Skills, Send God, Li Ping’an discovered that these charging ghosts, just like the Netherworld Ghost General, were immune to his Divine Skills control!

"Damn it! What’s going on here?"

Li Ping’an was utterly bewildered; at this moment, his usual proud Spells and Divine Skills either malfunctioned or were ineffective – he even started to doubt whether the Divine Skills and Spells he had learned were fakes!

"Hold on! Hold on! Li Ping’an, you must hold on! You’ve seen greater storms than this! Hold on!"

Amid his panic, Li Ping’an reassured himself in his heart, and resolutely used a second Divine Skill to cope with the ghosts:

"Soul Capturing! Come forth!"

As Li Ping’an extended his palms towards the countless ghosts, some of the ghostly army was successfully captured by Soul Capturing, but the majority of ghosts were immune to his Divine Skill!

"Dammit! What is happening now?"

Li Ping’an was truly at his wit’s end and completely dumbfounded!

All his Spells and Divine Skills designed to combat ghosts were failing!

They all failed!

The Nine-Ranked Lotus Platform Seal was also broken by the Black Flame!

Now, Li Ping’an truly met his dead end!

"Hahahaha!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao looked at the desperate Li Ping’an and immediately scoffed:

"Li Ping’an! Weren’t you just mocking me, saying that since I witnessed the battle of the Fallen Dragon Pit, why would I use these spells on you? Did you not think my spells were useless against you?"

"Fool! Precisely because I knew of your Spells, Divine Skills, and the power of an Earth Immortal, I could handle things so effortlessly!"

"Let me tell you the truth. This Netherworld Ghost General is not only immune to your Divine Skills but even these hordes of lost souls are immune to your Divine Skills!"

"These hordes of lost souls were the Netherworld Ghost General’s minions in the Netherworld, all fierce ghosts and stubborn souls that thrived for centuries. You have no idea how many ghosts they’ve consumed to grow to what they are today!"

"Although your Divine Skills are strong, to control them, you need to capture the leader first, which is to control the Netherworld Ghost General!"

"But the Netherworld Ghost General has already been tampered with by me, immune to your Divine Skills, so all your Divine Skills are useless against them!"
