Chapter 834: Chapter 823: Delight

Wuu!

Like the wail of ghosts, an extremely strange frequency of shrieking suddenly emanated from the eldest, Soul Shrieking Ghost Yan Chou’s mouth.

With the sound of the ghostly wail, circle upon circle of visible black ripples rapidly spread in all directions. If one looked closely, they would discover within these black ripples countless ghostly shadows, containing an unknown number of refined life souls.

The moment the ghostly wail sounded, it wasn’t Ye Zhen, nor the martial artists in the Great Formation of the Altar Guard below the Red Fire Subdivision, who couldn’t bear it first, but rather those Establishment Kings and the Peak of Vein Forging Realm martial artists hidden in all directions and observing this battle.

The martial artists within the Great Formation below were themselves far away, and the formation had a certain effect of sound barrier, so the first to cry out in alarm were actually those covertly watching martial artists in all directions who first suffered the ghostly wail attack.

This ghostly wail attack, named Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Seeking, was the signature technique of Soul Shrieking Ghost Yan Chou, specifically targeting the Divine Soul. Incredibly malicious, it used secret techniques to refine numerous life souls. Even the Establishment Kings, with higher cultivation, typically dared not provoke him!

"Damn it, it’s an indiscriminate attack, quick dodge!"

"Ah, my head, my head hurts so much...."

As the ghostly wail sounded, the faces of several Establishment Kings turned pale as they cried out in shock and swiftly withdrew from the void, while another nearby Vein Forging Realm martial artist began to scream miserably!

But at the very moment when this Vein Forging Realm martial artist thought he was doomed, the ’wuu wuu sobbing’ of the ghostly wail suddenly stopped abruptly.

Soul Shrieking Ghost Yan Chou, who was wearing a grim and cruel expression while performing the secret technique of Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Seeking, suddenly showed a rigid expression, his eyes going dead, losing their luster as the ghostly wail halted, becoming dim and lifeless!

At this moment, Ye Zhen’s figure had just approached to a distance of a thousand meters in front of Soul Shrieking Ghost Yan Chou.

The Vein Forging Realm martial artist, who thought he was doomed, glanced at the calm and composed Ye Zhen and dared not linger for another moment, retreating rapidly.

Just now, he had taken a stroll at Death’s Door, and he was now more anxious than anyone to leave this place.

Reaching out his right hand, Ye Zhen spread his fingers like a spear, and spiritual power flickered in his palm. A tremendous suction pulled up the body of Soul Shrieking Ghost Yan Chou, whose eyes had lost their luster.

At the same instant, Ye Zhen’s peripheral vision inadvertently glanced at the space in the upper right behind him.

A simple Soul Thorn, casually formed, silently and seamlessly pierced there.

Almost at the same time, the figure of the third, Shadowless Ghost, who had previously vanished into thin air, suddenly appeared from the void, a Ghost Head Stab, clearly tainted with poison, flashing with blue light in his hand, suddenly bursting with dazzling brilliance.

In the same instant, Shadowless Ghost’s body jerked violently, the fierce light in his eyes suddenly lost its brilliance.

At this moment, a vast Divine Sense swept over from Ye Zhen’s body, likely from a powerful Establishment King observing the battle situation.

When Ye Zhen traced back with his Divine Sense, that prior Divine Sense vanished without a trace.

Ye Zhen remained indifferent, casually waving his left hand to pull the free-falling body of Shadowless Ghost to his side.

With a casual swipe of both hands, the storage rings of the two appeared in Ye Zhen’s hand.

Puff!

The terrifying scene from before reappeared, with their skulls suddenly spraying blood tens of meters high, their Innate Divine Souls forcibly pulled out by a hazy rainbow light following tightly behind.

Ye Zhen again did as before, directly severing the connection between their Innate Divine Souls and Soul Lights, collecting their Innate Soul Lights into the storage ring, then sinisterly staring at the half-conscious Innate Divine Souls of the two.

"I gave you a chance, let you comfortably commit suicide on the ground, but you refused. Now you’ll have to taste the Hundred Ghosts Devour Soul!"

As Ye Zhen’s sinister voice sounded, with a casual gesture, two more groups of two hundred blood-colored Demon Spirit Phantoms appeared in Ye Zhen’s palm, a circle of hazy rainbow light trapping the Innate Divine Souls of the Three Ghosts of Beijue and the three hundred Demon Spirits tightly.

Instinctively, the three hundred Demon Spirits split into three groups, frantically gnawing at the Innate Divine Souls of the three.

Ah... Ah....

The moment the hundred Demon Spirits simultaneously gnawed, the nearly unconscious Innate Divine Souls of Soul Shrieking Ghost and Shadowless Ghost let out miserable screams.

Screaming, they looked on in disbelief at the scene before them.

Just now, they were battling Ye Zhen, but after a sharp pain in their heads, they turned into this, with hundreds of Demon Spirits frantically gnawing at their Innate Divine Souls.

In just an instant, the indescribable pain completely stripped them of their ability to think, leaving only agonizing screams from the depths of their tortured souls.

This wretched cry made the martial artists in the Red Fire Subdivision within the Great Formation of Altar Guard look both excited and pale.

It’s hard to imagine the kind of pain that could make an Establishment King lose it and let out such a heartrending scream.

At the same time, the piercing screams made the Establishment Kings, who had just evaded Soul Shrieking Ghost’s indiscriminate attack of Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Seeking, dumbfounded as they turned back.

The main thing was that it all happened so fast.

They had just reached a safe position when they found the ghostly wail had disappeared; before they could figure it out, the screams had started.

Then, the sound of people gasping in shock echoed across the skies in all directions!

Domination!

Three kings of the Fourth Stage Establishment Realm were actually overwhelmed by a martial artist at the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm!

Moreover, all these changes happened within a few breaths.

What terrified them even more was that they didn’t even know how it all happened!

Of course, it’s not just them; possibly nine out of ten martial artists present didn’t know how it all happened. The remaining ones only knew that Ye Zhen’s divine soul attack was very powerful, but they didn’t know exactly what kind of secret divine soul attack technique Ye Zhen used.

Strictly speaking, when dealing with the second Heart-Wrenching Ghost, Ye Zhen used some techniques. However, when dealing with the first Soul Shrieking Ghost and the third Shadowless Ghost, he only used the most basic ability of divine soul cultivation that every martial artist entering the Divine Soul First Stage would know - Soul Thorn!

Directly condensing a pure soul thorn with part of his divine soul power, with basically no variation, just a pure divine soul attack.

This kind of pure divine soul attack poses no threat to most martial artists.

However, when this most basic and pure soul thorn is condensed by the four-colored innate soul light, its power undergoes an astonishing qualitative change!

The soul thorn casually pinched out by Ye Zhen easily pierced through the three-colored innate soul light guarding the innate divine souls of the Soul Shrieking Ghost and the Shadowless Ghost, and then stunned their innate divine souls with the remaining force.

It was only because Ye Zhen controlled his strength. Otherwise, this soul thorn from Ye Zhen could have directly taken them out without any problem!

There was no choice; the disparity was too big!

The divine soul cultivation of these three only reached the fourth stage of the innate soul light, with the eldest barely reaching its peak, but Ye Zhen’s divine soul cultivation had already reached the fifth stage of the innate soul light.

Originally, this advantage wasn’t too great, but let’s not forget, Ye Zhen’s innate soul light is of a higher grade—four-colored innate soul light, which produces some extraordinary effects!

The cries of the Three Ghosts of Beijue in the light ball in Ye Zhen’s palm became increasingly miserable, yet Ye Zhen showed no signs of stopping. Instead, he casually crushed an extremely ordinary sound-protecting talisman, amplifying the miserable cries of the Three Ghosts of Beijue more than tenfold through the talisman. The miserable cries instantly echoed throughout the city, immediately causing goosebumps among martial artists in some corners.

Simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s indifferent yet heart-pounding voice rang out.

"Fellow predecessors and peers, listen well, I am Ye Zhen, the honored City Lord of the Red Fire Martial City under the Sun and Moon Divine Sect! I know you are all here for the five-colored treasure light of Tiger Mouth Gorge.

I cannot stop you from going to Tiger Mouth Gorge to seek treasures. I can only wish you all a great harvest in advance!

But...." Ye Zhen’s voice turned cold within moments, dropping by dozens of degrees.

"But, if anyone dares to cause trouble in my Red Fire Martial City, then the Three Ghosts of Beijue shall be your fate! You may fight and kill outside the city,

but if anyone dares to destroy even a blade of grass or harm any martial artist’s life in my Red Fire Martial City, well, let’s just say you might get a taste of what it’s like to be devoured by a hundred ghosts!"

Accompanied by Ye Zhen’s sinister laughter, his divine sense moved, vibrating his spiritual power outward, suddenly amplifying the miserable cries of the Three Ghosts of Beijue under the Hundred Ghosts Devour Soul by a hundredfold.

In an instant, every martial artist in the Red Fire Martial City, whether they were from the Vein Forging Realm or the Establishment Realm, turned pale as death!

The reason being, the fate of the Three Ghosts of Beijue was too tragic!

"Ah... spare me... I beg... beg you... a quick... death..."

"Ancestor... I was wrong... wrong... quick, give me... a quick... death..."

"I’ll trade... my amassed assets elsewhere... for... for... a quick... death..."

The miserable screams chilled everyone to the bone.

These were mighty kings of the Establishment Realm! Usually, even severe punishments wouldn’t cause them to frown, let alone a flesh-cutting pain!

Yet now, each one had lost their regal demeanor, crying and begging for mercy, calling out for their ancestors, offering all their possessions, all just for a quick death!

This Hundred Ghosts Devour Soul is truly...

In an instant, an idea surfaced in the minds of more than ninety percent of the martial artists present: causing trouble in Red Fire Martial City would be an absolute death sentence!

However, those with this idea were the outsider martial artists!

The local martial artists in Red Fire Martial City, whether belonging to the Red Fire Subdivision or not, felt an inexplicable sense of reassurance!

Perhaps someone unifying Red Fire Martial City might not be such a bad thing after all?

Just as everyone stood in awe, while the Red Fire Subdivision thought today’s matter ended, a figure suddenly appeared from the sky, carrying an immensely powerful spirit pressure.

The moment this person appeared, the powerful spirit pressure emanating from his body caused the Great Formation of the Altar Guard at the Red Fire Subdivision to creak and flicker just with the pressure alone.

Some Vein Forging Realm martial artists hidden in various directions fell uncontrollably from the sky.

Even with the protection of the Great Formation, the martial artists within the Red Fire Subdivision, especially those of the Soul Sea Realm, were forced to prostrate, unable to move an inch.

Almost simultaneously, the Establishment Realm kings hidden in all directions suddenly exclaimed in shock.

"Seventh Stage!"

"It’s actually a king of the Seventh Stage Establishment!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for a recommendation ticket, a monthly ticket at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
