  "Nirvana Battle Style: Blazing Axe Palm!" Feng Yunlong roared, as the sacred fire qi on top of his palm cut into the bodies of the two Warrior realm corpses instantly setting them ablaze.

  "Kre!" as they felt the pain from the fire, both corpses cried out loudly. After a short while, they then scattered into dust and vanished along with the flames.

  Feng Yunlong wiped the sweat off his forehead as he looked at Feng Xingyu with a nostalgic smile on his face and spoke, "Xingyu, it's been a while since we did that combination, brings back youthful memories..."

  "Elder brother, those days were indeed fun. I remember us suppressing all the other clan's juniors using this very same combo. Hmph! Daring to underestimate my cultivation at the Body Training realm..." Feng Xingyu replied with an excited expression on her face.

  "Hmm… those poor souls..." Thought Feng Yunlong as he recalled past memories, quickly though he cleared his thoughts and looked over at the Feng Yu who was standing at the center of a large crater with a confused look on his face.

  "Xingyu, let's go!" Feng Yunlong said as he rushed towards the Chosen Battle Arena, Xingyu hearing this also refocused on the situation at hand and followed.

  As Feng Yu looked at the dissipating form of the spectral shade, he couldn't help but frown as he muttered softly, "How can I still be alive? And what happened to that creature?"

  Looking closely, he noticed that while it was disappearing, a towering amount of killing intent still lingered within its form...

  Whoosh! Instantly, he appeared a few meters away from his previous location as if it was an act of instinct.

  Boom! The ground where he stood suddenly became destroyed by a terrifying unknown power, as if it didn't expect Feng Yu to avoid the last amount of willpower it had a surprised look came over the face of the spectral shade, but soon it transformed into an even more powerful killing intent...

  "Damn! Hu--man...." It said with a faded voice, as fell onto the ground unable to move having used the last of its willpower to attack.

  "This..." As if he didn't hear the words of the fallen spectral shade, Feng Yu looked inside of his body and was shocked. His internal organs and veins where all full crystal clear and complete golden in color with speckles of glittering light glowing at certain locations as they gave off a feeling as if transcending mortality.

  He then looked at his Dantian and inspected his essence-energies, only to see a fully saturated sea of essence-energies at least two times the amount compared to the same level practitioners.

  "Peak 9 Tier Body Training realm! What the hell is going on?" Feng Yu shouted in shock regarding his sudden discovery.

  Sou! Immediately after his exclamation, the figure of Feng Junling quickly appeared by Feng Yu's side, as he looked at Feng Yu with a gentle but expectant gaze.

  "Uncle Junling, what's going on?" Feng Yu asked in a puzzled manner.

  "No time to chat, follow me, we must get as far from this thing as soon as possible," Feng Junling said as he pointed towards fallen spectral shade, Feng Yu hearing this also nodded in compliance.

  Swish! Swish! The figures of both Feng Yunlong and Feng Xingyu quickly appeared by their sides momentarily glancing at the spectral shade with hints of fear in their eyes before looking at Feng Yu and Feng Junling.

  "Yunlong, it is now unsafe here, we have to leave here immediately. Rally all of the clan members to our previous platform," Feng Junling said as he looked towards Feng Yunlong.

  Hearing this Feng Yunlong nodded as he took out an odd golden ball with a mansion engraved on its surface, as he poured his qi into the golden ball it glowed strangely, a beam of light soon after shot from the ball towards the location of Machen Town.

  Puui! Within moments, a corresponding beam of light flew back up to the skies quickly arriving at the Chosen Battle Arena. It vanished into the golden ball which then returned to Feng Yunlong.

  Once this was finished, the Feng Manor in the ghostly remnant of Machen Town faded into nothingness...

  As Feng Yunlong saw this, he waved his hand causing the golden ball to vanish then spoke, "Let's go get the others!"

  Hearing this everyone nodded in compliance as they rushed towards the battling clansmen on the different platforms.

  Bang! A corpse was bisected into many pieces by a Dark Sky Pavilion Elder who then glanced towards the group of crimson masked men that were leaving the battle zone, he frowned in anger as he spoke, "What the hell are they doing?!"

  As a few nearby individuals heard his words, a few exclamations then resounded, "Are these guys retreating? Damn! Where did all that spunk from earlier go?"

  "Don't be distracted, finish the enemies!" Xun Yanshan said as he fought his full power against Fei Tan who had now suffered injuries from his collaboration with Ye Shuye and Nei Sinian.

  The battles raged on fiercely as the ghost corpses were rapidly falling, as this situation continued the Jing Mingyun finally made her move.

  Drip. Pat. A drop of blood fell from the tips of her fingers onto a small part of the ancient door, as this drop of blood fell on the door, there was a change.

  Rumble! The world started to shake once more, as the chains that were trying to open the door were instantly destroyed by a powerful ripple from the Dao of Annihilation.

  As this occurred, the Ancient Dragon Construct that had been silent for a long time started to change, a bright black and white light began to shine from its eyes outwards in all directions.

  The battling practitioners looked up in shock, soon the sky was covered by black and white lights that beamed towards each of the ghostly corpses within the surroundings.

  Swiii! Poof! As the rays of lights connected with each of the ghostly corpses, the corpses faded away transforming into dust. Fei Tan who was about to be hit by one of the beams roared to the heavens as he could only watch in horror.

  "I am not willing!" Fei Tan yelled, sadly the beam of light didn't care, quickly it connected with his body also turning him to dust.

  The influences and practitioners who had suddenly been relieved from their deadly battle finally managed to let out sighs of relief.

  "Whew! Finally, over! This damn mystic realm trials! I swear that I will never get involved with another mystic realm again!" A major influential character cursed.

  Xun Yanshan looked at the piles of corpse dust in the surroundings and then at his fallen comrades in arms with a heavy heart, he sighed and then looked towards the group that came with him in the distance before speaking.

  "Gather up!" As he said this, he made his way towards the figures of Zang Xu, Ye Wang and Xia Rou who now stood at the central area of a platform, after a while, he arrived at their fronts and asked questions.

  "What's going on how did you guys get on this platform?" He asked in a puzzled manner as he recalled seeing them on the Chosen Battle Arena during the thunderstorm assault.

  "We were saved by the powerful elder from the Feng Clan," Ye Wang replied, hearing this Xun Yanshan spoke once more with a tone of interest, "Oh, where did they go? If I recall, correctly I remember seeing them regrouping with their clansmen?"

  "I'm not too sure..." Ye Wang responded as he scratched his head.

  As he heard this, Xun Yanshan frowned; however, he quickly cleared his thoughts and refocused on his surroundings, soon after resting his gaze on the Ancient Dragon Construct that had reacted strangely.

  The influences and individuals who had now reorganized themselves also focused their attention towards the Ancient Dragon Construct.

  As if it was waiting for them, the voice of the Ancient Dragon Construct resounded throughout the area.

  "The Chosen Battle Royal has ended, due to unforeseen circumstances, there will be no Chosen One in this time's Trials. Now all individuals will be transferred to a random location within the mystic realm. However, for those chosen who have been given a token, they and their quoted number of allowed individuals will be transmitted to the areas linked directly to their tokens in the Ancient Dragon Battlefie
ld..."

  "What?" A practitioner exclaimed, as the crowd when into a commotion.

  "Why did the rules suddenly change? There is something strange going on here..." Ye Shuye said as he looked at the Ancient Dragon Construct with a deep gaze.

  The major influences and surrounding practitioners looked in silence as they too also found this scenario a strange one. However, as they couldn't quite understand what was going on, they could only discuss amongst themselves how to handle the sudden change.

  The Feng Clan who had by now gathered together all of their clansmen stood at the edge of a distant platform as they observe the scene before them.

  Feng Junling hearing the words of the Ancient Dragon Construct frowned, he looked towards Jing Mingyun as he spoke, "I'm not sure what's going on here, why would she alter the rules of her clansman? Could it be...?"

  As he thought it through, he couldn't help but move his gaze towards the mass of dark clouds that loomed over the door silently.

  A few individuals who were paying attention to the sky also noticed the strange cloud, but soon their gazes became focused on the massive golden door and the person who stood before it.

  "Eh? It's that woman, what is she doing there? How can she stand before that door?" A curious individual asked.

  Not paying attention to his question, Jing Mingyun after having completed her goal placed her hand on the door and commanded, "Open!"

  Bang! As if it was waiting for a very long time, the Ancient Dragon Construct uncoiled itself from the Chosen Battle Arena and soared towards the ancient golden door. Instantly, it arrived in front of the massive golden door quickly disappearing into it as a noise similar to the regular door unlocking resounded throughout the area.

  Cluck! Creak! As this happened, the ancient golden door finally began to open as a creaking noise sounded throughout the area. As the door opened further and further, a bright white light shone from its interior rendering all sights beyond the door unobservable.

  Soon the door was fully opened, Jing Mingyun flew in front of the crowd and spoke once more, "Now then, everyone please---" But, as she was about to explain the next phase, there was a sudden change.

  As the fallen spectral shade was about to fade away, the mass of dark clouds that loomed over the door started to change.

  Swoosh! As if something summoned it, the spectral shade quickly soared towards the cloud immediately vanishing upon contact. Shortly after, a stream of dark energies could be seen flowing from all of the dust particles of the ghostly corpses in the surroundings towards the mass of dark clouds.

  Within a few moments, the cloud started to glow in ominously, as a bright purple light emitted from the dark clouds illuminating all things in sight for tens of kilometers.

  The crowd seeing this was shocked once again, as they realized that they had lost all forms of body control unable to move and think clearly. Slowly, their bodies seemed to have become unfamiliar as they felt a feeling of detachment to not only themselves, but the world they live in.

  Feng Yunlong, Feng Junling, and Feng Xingyu struggled in shocked as their bloodline tried to resist this strange change. The weaker of the clansmen had already fallen into a similar state, as Feng Yu could barely remain in control due to an unknown spark that lit up at the depths of his soul.

  "This, this is the Dao of D..." As Feng Junling was about to exclaim in surprise about the scene before him, he was promptly interrupted by its source.

  As this ominous purple light shrouded all things, a voice that seemed to have travelled from an unknown time reverberated into the minds of all individuals, "De—vo---ur!"

  Chapter 75

  __

  The Ghost Masters True Body! Ethereal Exault?

  The world shook, as the heavens started trembling and the voice that resounded throughout the area acted as If it carried a supreme will, commanding a small part of the world’s prestigious energies.

  "Devour!... Devour!... Devour!"

  Quickly, a mass of unknown energies started to form within the area, as a strange pulling force began to affect those individuals within the area.

  Instantly, a dark chilly wind started to blow towards the ominously glowing dark purple clouds, and within moments, a strange change began to take place.

  Swish! Swish! Swish!

  The souls of many practitioners including the chosen and the major influential characters quickly flew outside of their bodies, as they slowly floated towards the mass of glowing dark purple clouds.

  Still being affected by the powerful energies released by the dark clouds, Feng Junling and Feng Yunlong had to push all their concentration into inspiring their bloodlines to resist being swept away by the Dao of Devouring.

  Oddly enough, the powers that affected everyone else had a slightly weaker effect on those of the Feng Clan due to their bloodlines, and Zang Xu who had his secret technique. However, they could only resist this temporarily.

  "Damn! This is the true divine ability of the Soul Eater Ghost fiend, I didn't think that there would be one so powerful in current times." Feng Junling cursed to himself as he struggled to resist the power.

  Feng Yunlong by his side also spoke in a hurried tone. "Argh! Junling! We won't be able to resist if this situation continues, we have to use…"

  "Absolutely not! We cannot use it, not here…" Feng Junling said with a deep gaze, hearing his words Feng Yunlong gripped his fists tightly as he looked at his storage ring...

  Looking at the sea of souls traveling towards the clouds, the members of the Feng Clan could only watch helplessly.

  “Why am I able to resist this power?” Feng Yu thought to himself, as he felt his situation to be peculiar.

  Zang Xu who was on the opposing platform also felt his situation to be strange.

  As Feng Junling who was concentrating on resisting the Dao Truth noticed this scene, he couldn't help but frown as he thought to himself.

  “How strange? I could understand Yu child's circumstances but as for that kid, why is he also able to resist?” as Feng Junling thought this, he couldn't help but look towards Zang Xu more seriously.

  As if it also felt the strangeness, the purple cloud that was pulling the souls of the practitioners momentarily stopped.

  “Hmm, how interesting? Your bloodlinesss… are not of an ordinary classsss…” An eerie voice said that sounded within the minds of all who remained conscious.

  BANG! Following the voice, a loud boom was heard where after a shocking scene unfolded.

  The mass of ominously glowing dark clouds started to reshape itself, repeatedly transforming until it finally became a strange entity. It had had no ‘true form’ or rather, no material form as if it existed on a different plane.

  The entity was thousands of meters tall, and hundreds of meters wide draped into a cloudy looking dark purple robe. A group of chains could be seen wrapped around its form particularly the hands and feet, as its face remained unseen covered by the hood of its robe, leaving only its two ominously glowing purple eyes.

  The entity looked upon the Feng Clan group with a curious light at the depths of its ominous eyes, before taking a step forward.

  As if distance had no meaning, it instantly appeared before the platform of the figures of Feng Clan towering above all who stood before it like an oppressive mountain. It then looked towards Feng Yu with a hint of hatred at the depths of eyes that vanished before it spoke once more.

  “I am Ghost Master Gui Shifu, never in all my years of existence had I been forced to give up an incarnation. Little animal and you damn insects! No matter what kind of bloodline or how special you are, I will painfully rip souls from your fleshy bodies, then I make you all suffer eternal torment inside my Cloudy Damnation Seal.”

  As he finished his statement, not giving anyone the chance to react or make any special or movements. It promptly raised its massive hand and struck it towards the void above the heads of the Feng Clan members.

  Phew! A ripple of purplish light erupted from the
space above the heads of the Feng Clan members as countless purple chains shot towards each of clan members bodies at bolting speeds.

  Seeing the situation before them, the clan members couldn’t help but fall into a state of panic.

  “Shit! There is no way to avoid this… what to do?” Feng Yu thought to himself, as he could no longer gather strength to open his mouth due to oppressive presence of the entity before him, light flickering deep within his souls was starting to fade as well.

  “Junling!” Feng Yunlong roared who was currently pouring all his energy into his storage ring.

  Realizing that they would have no other choice, Feng Junling sighed as he waved his finger causing on an odd seal to form above Feng Yunlong’s storage ring.

  Phew! A bright blazing light started to shine as the common looking ring began to change its shape to that of a highly embellished ring with special engravings. Carefully looking, one would see a carving of a bird with a crown on its head amongst the engravings.

  The light formed a barrier which resisted the chains that were on the verge of assaulting the clan members, seeing this scene everyone managed to let out sighs of relief.

  Elder Chen seeing this sighed as he spoke, “The clan’s last remaining Ancestral Artefact, even when sealed it still carries such a prestige…”

  Elder Duan who was nearby nodded as he spoke with a hint of fear in his eyes, “Un. A pity though, if it were fully unsealed it may have been able to aid us escaping but sadly it's not, it won’t be able to hold back this being’s strength for too long. After all, based on its energy fluctuations it is already at Exalted Class, who would have thought? Such a powerful being could still be in existence in this world…”

  “Indeed, since it is currently the Monarch’s Age after all. Sigh, we have underestimated the continents deep waters, my only worry now is whether or not we will be able to successfully survive this tribulation…” Elder Chen replied with a pensive expression.

  As if it felt something unusual, Ghost Master Gui Shifu frowned as he looked at the odd-looking storage ring. It thought to itself, “That ring… what is this? Hmph! No matter, before strength all is meaningless…”
