The Evil Ghost Ancestor was shocked watching Huwang Xiao’s Asura Barrier.
While he was still in shock, Huwang Xiao disappeared in a flicker, arriving in front of him. Huwang Xiao’s finger pointed swiftly aimed between the Evil Ghost Ancestor’s eyebrows.
Finger force rushed out like roaring waves, resounding over ten thousand miles. At the same time, thick gray fog roiled, hiding the strange ghostly creatures screaming behind it.
This was the Absolute Soul Finger.
Even though the Absolute Soul Finger was incomparable to the Godly Xumi Art, once it was practiced to major completion, a finger’s force could absolutely break the enemy’s soul. Adding to the enemy’s broken soul, it would also wither the enemy’s life force.
When the Evil Ghost Ancestor felt the terrifying force contained in Huwang Xiao’s Absolute Soul Finger, his face paled. He bellowed as his right hand tried to slap away Huwang Xiao’ finger.
“Ghost Wind Blood Rain Palm!”
Dense ghost qi turned into a raging tempest, splattering blood-colored rain everywhere.
Huwang Xiao’s Absolute Soul Finger force collided with the Evil Ghost Ancestor’s Ghost Wind Blood Rain Palm.
The sound of ghosts wailing echoed for miles and the land shook from the impact.
However, the blood-rain splattering down was extremely corrosive in nature. As the Absolute Soul Finger brushed past the blood raindrops, blasts resounded as its force dispersed and weakened.
Both the Evil Ghost Ancestor and Huwang Xiao were knocked away by the shockwave, staggering more than three hundred meters back.
In this exchange, neither one had the upper hand.
Huwang Xiao’s eyes narrowed dangerously, this Evil Ghost Ancestor preceded his reputation. The Evil Ghost Ancestor’s strength probably reached the level of a Second Order Highgod Realm master.
If compared to the Zhu Family Patriarch, the Evil Ghost Ancestor was ten times stronger. Even the Phoenix Clan Ancestor was slightly weaker than him.
Huwang Xiao didn’t expect this, but the Evil Ghost Ancestor was alarmed. His Ghost Wind Blood Rain Palm contained poison of extreme Yin, it was an extremely overbearing technique. Not many peak late-First Order Highgod Realm masters could have taken that attack just now, yet Huwang Xiao, a mere God realm cultivator resisted it!
Moreover, in that exchange just now, both of them were equally matched!
Right at this time, Huwang Xiao bellowed, lunging at the Evil Ghost Ancestor again in attack. Although the enemy's strength slightly exceeded Huwang Xiao’s estimation, burning desire to battle filled his chest.
After he advanced to perfection stage late-Tenth Order God Realm, he had been itching to find someone to test out his current strength, and this Evil Ghost Ancestor was an ideal candidate.
Which was why Huwang Xiao told Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, Phoenix Clan Ancestor, and the other Highgod Realm masters to only pay attention to the Huwang Clan Manor’s surroundings. Other than that, they just needed to sit back and watch.
The Huwang Clan Manor’s defensive formations were activated earlier on, thus Huwang Xiao need not worry about any damage falling onto the manor below due to shockwaves.
While the Evil Ghost Ancestor and Huwang Xiao were fighting in the air above the Huwang Clan Manor, in the outer space of Martial Spirit World, two figures tore the outer barrier and entered. These two figures were naturally the White Tiger Galaxy’s Green Icemen that rushed over.
The moment they entered Martial Spirit World, they immediately detected the turbulent energy fluctuations coming from Huwang Xiao and the Evil Ghost Ancestor’s battle.
“Such powerful energy fluctuations! Is it two early Second Order Highgod Realm masters fighting?” One of the Green Iceman exclaimed.
“One of them is most likely a ghost cultivator, whereas the other one…” The other Green Iceman was intrigued, saying, “Come, let’s go over and have a look.
Without delay, the two executed Great Space Teleportation. After several warps, they arrived close to the Huwang Clan Manor.
“That’s the Evil Ghost Ancestor!” When they appeared, both were shocked upon spotting the Evil Ghost Ancestor.
Even though the Evil Ghost Ancestor rarely left the Ghost Abyss, causing his name to become unknown to the younger generation, most Highgod Realm masters knew of him.
More than twenty thousand years ago, this Evil Ghost Ancestor once single-handedly annihilated a super family!
This matter shocked the four galaxies. Following that, a few Highgod Realm masters allied to exterminate him. However, they were unable to do anything, for the Evil Ghost Ancestor hid in the depths of the Ghost Abyss.
Who would expect that twenty thousand years later the Evil Ghost Ancestor resurfaced!
“Who’s that black-haired young man?!” The two brothers were shocked to see the Evil Ghost Ancestor, but what shocked them even more was the black-haired young man that was his opponent.
“Perfection stage late-Tenth Order God Realm?!”
“How is this possible! It cannot be!”
The two Green Iceman brothers discovered that the black-haired young man battling the Evil Ghost Ancestor was just a God Realm cultivator!
Moreover, it seemed to them that the Evil Ghost Ancestor couldn’t even harm him! No, the Evil Ghost Ancestor was actually at a disadvantage! Under that black-haired young man’s overbearing attacks, the Evil Ghost Ancestor was forced to retreat again and again in a sorry state!
They stared at the black-haired young man when, suddenly, a thought thundered in their minds.
Could it be?!
As to confirm the thought that crossed these brothers’ mind, in the distance, the Evil Ghost Ancestor roared in fury, “Huwang Xiao, I sincerely came here to serve under you, how could you suddenly attack an innocent man?! What is the meaning of this? Aren’t you afraid you’ll rouse the ire of all the Highgod Realm masters coming here!”
Listening to the Evil Ghost Ancestor declaring his innocence, Huwang Xiao sneered, “Sincerely came here to serve under me? Didn’t you just say you want to annihilate my Huwang Clan Manor? Sparing no one? Didn’t you want to kill me, make me hand out the high divine grade spirit stones to you?”
Huwang Xiao’s attacks continued to rain down on the Evil Ghost Ancestor as he spoke. Instead of stopping, he fully employed the true immortal essence from his dantian, forming over a hundred true immortal essence fire swords that assaulted the Evil Ghost Ancestor from every angle.
Watching the hundreds of fire swords, the Evil Ghost Ancestor was both scared and enraged, dodging miserably in the air.
In the beginning, he and Huwang Xiao were almost equal, but as time passed, Huwang Xiao gradually gained the upper hand. On top of that, as Huwang Xiao fought, his moves grew increasingly sharp and fearless, his god battle qi and that other mysterious force seemed neverending.
The Evil Ghost Ancestor wrecked his brain but still couldn’t figure out how Huwang Xiao did it.
Whenever his god battle qi and that mysterious force were seemingly depleted, Huwang Xiao would return to his peak form in the blink of an eye.
Did such heaven-defying cultivation technique exist in this world? Able to replenish a person’s god battle qi in the blink of an eye?
Not to mention, after being suppressed by Huwang Xiao’s Buddhist force, the Evil Ghost Ancestor’s infernal ghost force had suffered great damage.
Just as he was dodging Huwang Xiao’s attacks in anger, behind him, a true immortal essence fire sword stabbed into his chest, coming out from his back. The Evil Ghost Ancestor let out a blood-curdling scream.
Hearing that scream, both Green Icemen’s hearts jumped. They originally came with the same intention as the Evil Ghost Ancestor.
“Twin Green Ice Monsters, let’s join forces and kill this Huwang Xiao! When this ends, his high divine grade spirit stone treasure will be ours, we’ll split it equally between the three of us!” Evil Ghost Ancestor suddenly shouted toward the two Green Iceman.
The two Green Iceman brothers looked at each other, hesitation in their eyes.
Although Huwang Xiao’s strength indeed astounded them, if there were three of them, killing him wouldn't really be a problem.
When they thought of the high divine grade spirit stone treasure, the two brothers’ eyes glimmered with greed.
Ch.799
Just as the two Green Iceman brothers were tempted by the suggestion, Huwang Xiao’s Earthen Buddha Palm squarely hit the Evil Ghost Ancestor’s chest. Pure Buddhist force burst into his Infernal Ghost Body, making him wail in agony.
“Let us join forces to kill Huwang Xiao, I only want two-tenths of the divine grade spirit stone treasure. The rest of it is yours!” While the Evil Ghost Ancestor was wailing, he seized the chance to shout at the two green creatures.
Eight-tenths!
Both Green Icemen were stunned, the greed in their eyes even more obvious.
“Why aren’t you two attacking?! If you wait till other old monsters arrive, we won’t have anything left!” Evil Ghost Ancestor cried out again.
The Green Iceman brothers exchanged a look, nodding at each other in tacit agreement. In the next moment, their hands suddenly attacked Huwang Xiao. Multiple strands of icy green qi surged out, looking like two giant green ice rivers arching across the sky.
Although Huwang Xiao had the Black Warrior Institute Principal and the Ascending Moon Old Man backing him, two people the brothers were wary of, they could immediately go into hiding after getting the divine grade spirit stones treasure. Even the Black Warrior Institute Principal or the Ascending Moon Old Man was powerless if they couldn't find the two brothers.
The two of them could leave the four galaxies’ territories, going to other galaxies and hide. With so many galaxies existing in the vast space, they wouldn't need to be on guard constantly, worrying day and night when the Black Warrior Institute Principal or the Ascending Moon Old Man would find them.
Seeing that the two green creatures were finally willing to move and attack Huwang Xiao, the Evil Ghost Ancestor secretly sighed in heavy relief. Then he looked at Huwang Xiao, “Huwang Xiao, your time has come!”
The two green ice rivers were about to strike Huwang Xiao when, all of a sudden, a resounding dragon roar shook the heavens. In the next moment, before the Evil Ghost Ancestor and the two Green Icemen’s bewildered eyes, a five-clawed golden dragon more than a thousand zhang long appeared right before them.
The instant the five-clawed golden dragon appeared, majestic dragon might seem to envelop heaven and earth. Before this majestic dragon might, the three of them were akin to fish out of water, unable to breath.
Right at this time, the five-clawed dragon’s powerful and sturdy claw slammed down on the two Green Icemen.
Under the golden dragon claw, pieces of shattered ice fell to the land below.
Overwhelmed by the impact, both Green Icemen reeled and staggered for no less than a hundred meters before managing to steady themselves. Even so, they coughed up a couple mouthfuls of blood.
“Ancient Dragon Clan!”
The two Green Icemen, as well as Evil Ghost Ancestor in the distance, cried out almost in unison. The quiver in their voices were obvious.
On top of that, it is the Ancient Dragon Clan’s royal blood, the golden dragon!
Needless to say, the golden dragon was Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi, who had been watching from inside the Huwang Clan Manor until now.
“So, it’s a Senior from the Dragon Clan’s. Senior Dragon is also here for that divine grade spirit stone treasure? Since Senior Dragon is also interested in that treasure, we naturally dare not compete for it.” One of the Green Icemen spoke with utmost respect to Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi. Judging by the flattering expression on his face, one could hardly tell that he was just injured by Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s claw just moments ago.
Listening to the Green Icemen plodding on, a low chuckle escaped Huwang Xiao’s mouth.
Clearly, the other side taught that Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi also came to Martial Spirit World from the outside to snatch his divine grade spirit stone treasure.
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi guffawed, rousing a small wind.
The Evil Ghost Ancestor kept his distance, feeling apprehensive, and did not say a word. Like the two Green Icemen, the Evil Ghost Ancestor also thought this Ancient Dragon Clan master came for Huwang Xiao’s divine grade spirit stone treasure.
Though the Evil Ghost Ancestor was a thousand times unwilling, he dared not utter a word of complaint. He could tell that this golden dragon in front of them was definitely a master of late-Second Order Highgod Realm or above!
“Little Huwang brat, how do you want to handle them?” Right at this time, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi turned over to look at Huwang Xiao with a smile, a dragon claw pointed at the Evil Ghost Ancestor and the two Green Icemen.
The two Green Icemen and Evil Ghost Ancestor fell into a daze, Little Huwang brat?
Could it be?!
“Don’t kill them yet.” Huwang Xiao added, “Let me first settle the Evil Ghost Ancestor.”
Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi nodded, then his divine sense restrained the two Green Icemen where they were.
When the Evil Ghost Ancestor and the two Green Icemen were still in a daze, Huwang Xiao’s right hand swung down, making a slash. A golden light flashed and vanished. He locked down space using the ancient God Restricting Golden Silkthread Rope.
The Evil Ghost Ancestor finally felt scared, his palms striking out in panic. Lines of silkthread shone brightly wherever the Evil Ghost Ancestor’s palms struck.
“What is this?”Evil Ghost Ancestor’s eyes widened in fear.
“This is an ancient divine artifact, the God Restricting Golden Silkthread Rope.” Huwang Xiao smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes, “Don’t waste your energy. If you want to go out, you must first defeat me. Of course, if you can’t, my apologies, but you can only die here.”
The Evil Ghost Ancestor’s fury pierced the sky, fixing a ghostly stare at Huwang Xiao, “Huwang Xiao, don’t get excessive!! If you push me into a corner I’ll drag you into the grave with me!”
Huwang Xiao’s smile couldn’t help but widen, “Good ah, go ahead and blow up right now.”
Huwang Xiao was unperturbed by the Evil Ghost Ancestor’s threats, he naturally didn't believe that this Evil Ghost Ancestor had the guts to blow himself up like the Golden Horned Beast King did.
Moreover, the main reason the Golden Horned Beast King chose to die was that he was completely controlled by that mysterious Great Lord.
This Evil Ghost Ancestor wasn’t.
Humans feared death the most, Highgod Realm masters were no exception.
As expected, the Evil Ghost Ancestor did not choose to self-destruct, but bellowed as he lunged at Huwang Xiao.
Outside of the God Restricting Golden Silkthread Rope’s coverage, the two Green Icemen were looking gloomy, restricted by Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi’s divine sense. The two brothers wisely chose to remain where they were, not daring to move.
It never crossed their minds that there would be a late-Second Order Highgod Realm ancient divine golden dragon at Huwang Xiao’s side!
Had they known that, apart from the Ascending Moon Old Man, there were still the Phoenix Clan Ancestor, Phoenix Clan Patriarch, three Great Peng brothers, and a Nine-Tailed White Fox, six other Highgod Realm masters, what would be their reaction?
Time slowly trickled by; one hour passed.
Inside the God Restricting Golden Silkthread Rope’s space, the Evil Ghost Ancestor was riddled with wounds all over his body, from sword slashes to handprints from the Earthen Buddha Palm. Even though the Infernal Ghost Body had fearsome abilities, the Evil Ghost Ancestor was hindered from displaying its transformations due to the God Restricting Golden Silkthread Rope.
By now, the Evil Ghost Ancestor had lost all of his high spirits and confidence that he had when he first arrived.
“Huwang Xiao, if I, Evil Ghost Ancestor, esca
pe this time, I swear I’ll skin you alive and eat your flesh raw!!” Evil Ghost Ancestor’s malicious voice rang in the air.
“Escape?” Huwang Xiao snorted, “Too bad you’ll never have this chance.” With that said, a blinding light flashed and an enormous tortoise with a snake as its tail, emitting an icy blue light, appeared behind Huwang Xiao.
In the blink of an eye, an icy blue light filled the entire God Restricting Golden Silkthread Rope space.
“This, this is the Black Tortoise Divine Fire?!” The Evil Ghost Ancestor shrieked sharply, “You actually obtained the Black Tortoise Divine Fire!”
While the Evil Ghost Ancestor was still shrieking, a colorful flying phoenix appeared around Huwang Xiao, releasing a blazing crimson fire.
“Ver-Vermilion Bird Divine Fire!!” the Evil Ghost Ancestor was beyond shocked. Unfortunately, before he regained his senses, his body was engulfed by the Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird Divine Fires.
Shortly after, a black godhead fell from the air.
Huwang Xiao opened his palm and a suction force pulled the black godhead into his hand. He recalled the two divine fires back into his body and stepped out from the locked space.
Ch.800
The two Green Icemen obediently remained where they were in apprehension. When they saw Huwang Xiao appear, inexplicably, their hearts jumped. When their gazes fell onto the black godhead in Huwang Xiao’s hand, their faces tightened and paled, fear in their eyes. Above all that was denial.
That black godhead was without a doubt the Evil Ghost Ancestor’s!
The Evil Ghost Ancestor was dead!
He was really killed by Huwang Xiao, killed by a perfection stage late-Tenth Order God Realm that was no different than an ant in their eyes!
The two of them really couldn’t believe, and it was even harder for them to accept this result.
Huwang Xiao stopped in front of the two Green Icemen, his aloof voice sounded in their ears, “That’s right, the Evil Ghost Ancestor is dead, I killed him. Now, I’m giving both of you two choices; the first choice is to submit to me with the condition of letting me brand your souls with a soul mark. Naturally, even after you submit to me, the stated condition remains valid, every year I will provide each of you one hundred high divine grade spirits stones. Second choice, follow in the Evil Ghost Ancestor’s footsteps and die.”
