CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 168: THE MIGHT OF GODS AND GHOSTS

"Something’s wrong!"

Lu Yan shook his head with a grave expression.

The cultivation system in the Xianxia version is known for its peaceful and balanced approach, seeking the path to immortality without focusing on slaughter.

It’s quite normal for other versions to have cultivation systems that are better at killing than the Xianxia version.

However powerful a cultivation system is, it must adhere to the most basic rules.

No matter how adept different cultivation systems are, they cannot surpass the Xianxia version by too much.

The method of Flesh Rebirth can be used by many Foundation Establishment demonic beasts, but the ability of Soul Reorganization is something that even a Golden Core practitioner may not achieve.

Lu Yan couldn’t believe that the demonic version could span such a vast gap, allowing a mere Mid-stage Foundation Establishment demon to master Soul Reorganization.

As thoughts swirled, the Sewn Demon Fiend, now swelling to a height of six meters, closed in on Lu Yan, its demonic power converging to strike at him with a palm.

A streak of golden light rose, transforming into a massive golden shield to block, but faced with the terrifying might of the Sewn Demon Fiend, the golden shield was shattered forcefully.

In the instant the golden shield broke, Lu Yan’s figure vanished like an illusion, and the Sewn Demon Fiend’s strike landed on the ground.

The sound of the intense collision echoed through the entire mountain region, and as the palm fell, the ground turned into a giant crater, with demonic power continuously eroding it into scorched earth.

Looking back at Lu Yan, the Sewn Demon Fiend’s body had shrunk back, restoring to a height of five meters, clearly showing that this palm strike had also expended a lot of its energy.

However, the Sewn Demon Fiend looked at Lu Yan with a mocking smile on its face.

"To master so many True Techniques, even occupying an independent path of the Great Dao, yet failing to glimpse the True Intent of the Great Dao, you are truly as foolish as a pig.

If you handed over all the True Techniques you possess, I might even hope to step into the Nether Abyss."

"Stop resisting in vain. Hand over the True Techniques completely, and I might consider sparing your life.

Otherwise, this desolate forest will be your burial ground!"

As it spoke, those fierce beasts that had been devoured by the Earth Dragon began to gather once more.

Behind the fierce beasts, numerous enormous shadows followed.

There was a one-legged giant with a robust build, standing over ten meters tall, an old white wolf with foul-smelling pus flowing from its body, and a dead tree embedded with numerous sinister corpses with bizarre shapes...

Without a doubt, the aura of True Techniques and the collision from the battle with the Sewn Demon Fiend had attracted all the demons in the surrounding area.

Even the weakest among the demons had an Early Stage of Foundation Establishment aura, and the most powerful one-legged giant had reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment, looking at Lu Yan with hunger in its eyes.

Lu Yan glanced over the various shapes of demons and then spoke to the Sewn Demon Fiend:

"You lured them here, aren’t you afraid they’ll kill you for the benefits?"

"Kill me?" the Sewn Demon Fiend laughed hysterically.

"I am immortal, who can kill me?"

Without any hesitation, the rocks under the Sewn Demon Fiend’s feet shattered as it charged at Lu Yan again, like a fierce beast that had locked onto its prey.

Accompanying it were several strong demons, with overwhelming demonic qi enveloping an area of over ten miles.

Lu Yan remained completely unmoved. He had used spells merely to test the results of his cultivation over the past few months, but unfortunately encountered the Sewn Demon Fiend with its immortal trait.

"In that case, the experiment ends here."

Lu Yan stretched out his right hand, and the Soul Banner flew out from the storage bag into his palm.

On the beautifully crafted Soul Banner, only a vast expanse of land remained, with no shadow of a hundred ghosts.

The copper bell on the Soul Banner lightly rang, and amidst the ghostly mist, three Ghost Gods and eight hundred Yin Soldiers appeared neatly on this desolate mountain.

As soon as the Giant Spirit God appeared, it saw the numerous demons encircling them and immediately ordered as the computation power operated:

"Nine Netherworlds Yin Wind Array!"

This was an array evolved by the Giant Spirit God from the arrays described in the "Array Profound Mystery," combined with Ghost Gods and Yin Soldiers.

In the hands of an ordinary Array Master, it might not even compare to a second-level array, but in the hands of the Ghost Gods and Yin Soldiers, it could unleash powerful forces beyond a second-level array.

In a flash, as the words were spoken, the eight hundred Yin Soldiers transformed into array nodes, and the moment the Nine Netherworlds Yin Wind Array initiated, the entire world was shrouded in a layer of eerie blue light.

Blood Mustache’s long hair connected to the eight hundred Yin Soldiers, but did not activate the Soul Fusion Technique, instead pouring its own powerful yin energy into each Yin Soldier to enhance the array’s strength.

The howling yin wind passed through, like thousands of invisible blades, tearing the blood and flesh of the fierce demons into fragments. The decayed flesh turned to ashes in the yin wind, even the unwilling roars of the demons were shredded by the wind.

More astonishingly, the Netherworld Power contained in the yin wind began to erode the souls of the demons.

Initially, the demons could barely sustain themselves with their strong bodies, but as the terrifying storm directly targeted their souls erupted, the solid souls gradually thinned under the Nine Nether Yin Wind, eventually dissipating into the night like fog.

The array of eight hundred Yin Soldiers seemed to open a passage to the nether world, completely blowing away the souls of these demons that shouldn’t exist in the mortal realm.

One by one, the demons fell within the Nine Netherworlds Yin Wind Array, their bodies disintegrating at an incredible speed as if they had undergone countless years of weathering. However, not all the demons were unable to withstand the Nine Nether Yin Wind.

Among the numerous demons, the largest one-legged giant forcibly broke through the blockade of the Nine Netherworlds Yin Wind Array, charging towards the Ghost Gods and Yin Soldiers, its enormous body filled with an indescribable sense of oppression.

The Giant Spirit God, directing the array, took a step forward, unleashing its Talent Skill, transforming in an instant into a giant thirty meters high to confront the one-legged giant.

The one-legged giant, having already been gravely injured under the Nine Netherworlds Yin Wind Array, coupled with the nearly double size difference, left its brute strength with nowhere to exert it, easily suppressed by the Giant Spirit God.

On another side, seeing the fleeting celestial phenomena and Ghost Gods and Yin Soldiers gaining the upper hand, a trace of fear finally appeared in the Sewn Demon Fiend’s eyes.

Such powerful Ghost Gods and Yin Soldiers, even if unable to kill it, could still pose a threat.

The Sewn Demon Fiend immediately turned its gaze to Lu Yan, roaring as it charged towards him.

At that moment, a burly figure blocked the Sewn Demon Fiend.

It was the Warrior ascended to the Ghost God, the Dharma Protector.

The path it followed was not that of the Giant Spirit God’s Path of Omniscience, nor the Blood God’s extreme soul strengthening path.

As the first guardian of Lu Yan, the Dharma Protector’s path was one of protection, directing all its soul computation power and deduction capabilities to Lu Yan, defending against any possible crises.

Whether it be spells or divine techniques, as long as they couldn’t escape the computation scope of the Ghost God Computer, the Dharma Protector could completely resist them.
