CHAPTER 638: CHAPTER 323: ANNIHILATING THE SPIRIT SHOW ISLAND_2

"Bang!"

With a punch from Li Yunjing, all his True Essence surged forth, clashing with the Ghost-faced Shield in the opponent’s hand, producing a sound like clashing metal.

"The power is too immense!"

With just one strike, the face of the Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Heaven cultivator from the Soul-Controlling Sect changed wildly, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Even with the Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact shield for defense, he was still vastly outmatched by Li Yunjing in terms of sheer strength.

"Not bad! You can still withstand one punch!"

Li Yunjing nodded slightly and threw another punch.

This time, Li Yunjing added a bit more force.

His whole body emitted crackling thunder, and arcs of electricity danced around his fist, ripping through the air with a deafening roar.

The Demon Cultivator was overwhelmed by the thunderous noise, feeling a chill in his heart and losing his wits. He turned and fled at full speed!

Facing an expert of Li Yunjing’s caliber, fleeing without a fight became his only thought.

On the other side, Zhuang Yangming and a fellow disciple, seeing this, also tried to escape, but the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword flashed around them, killing both.

This left Zhuang Yangming and his companion without a chance to escape, even with Li Yunjing being lured away.

"Boom!"

In just a breath’s time, Li Yunjing had caught up with the fleeing Demon Cultivator, punching straight toward his back!

"Desperate gamble!"

In mid-air, the cultivator twisted his body, curling behind the Ghost-faced Shield, releasing more Demonic Qi while casting various demonic divine techniques, his entire form enshrouded in dark energy.

He vowed he had never unleashed such formidable power in his life!

Yet, under such mighty defense, Li Yunjing’s punch struck the Ghost-faced Shield, causing dazzling lightning to burst within the demonic aura.

The tremendous force and power of the thunder nearly shattered the Ghost-faced Shield completely!

"The third punch! If you can withstand it, I’ll spare your life!"

With another punch, electric light flashed, and the force of his fist thundered like lightning. Abruptly, the lightning exploded in all directions, disintegrating the surrounding demonic aura. Li Yunjing’s punch landed heavily on the cultivator’s body!

"Kill!"

The cultivator’s face contorted. Behind him appeared a demonic statue, seemingly a deity secretly worshipped — an evil god with nine heads, eighteen arms, its body pitch black, with a gruesome face, and sharp tusks.

This demonic statue was adorned with spiked armor, and held various magical artifacts and sinister objects in its eighteen hands.

Upon appearing, the statue did not strike Li Yunjing first.

Instead, its central head, with eyes like copper bells, looked down at the Demon Cultivator beneath it.

A scarlet tongue extended, wrapping around the cultivator in one swift movement. With a few chews, the agonized screams ceased, and the cultivator was absorbed into the statue.

With the cultivator’s energy, the demonic statue became even clearer, almost coming to life.

In an instant, it possessed the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

"This is great!"

"Senior Brother Bai Lei sacrificed himself and released the Netherworld Ghost; we are saved!"

Zhuang Yangming and the remaining Cultivator nearly wept with joy, overwhelmed with excitement.

Though the Netherworld Ghost was not the most powerful Demon God of the Netherworld, in the Mortal World, it was already an exceptional entity. The Ghost, having devoured Bai Lei, could unleash power at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Heaven!

However, summoning the Netherworld Ghost required a huge price, even life itself!

Losing one’s life did not matter, as the soul could still reincarnate. But being devoured by the Netherworld Ghost meant the soul would perish too.

Legend said that the cycle of reincarnation would offer no hope.

Bai Lei hated Li Yunjing so much that even without a future life, he sought mutual destruction!

This turn of events left Zhuang Yangming and his companion overjoyed.

With this Netherworld Ghost, they would survive this ordeal.

"A mere ghost! How dare you wreak havoc in the Mortal World!"

Facing the Netherworld Ghost, Li Yunjing finally took it seriously.

His aura soared; earlier, Zhuang Yangming and his peers only sensed Li Yunjing’s aura at Foundation Establishment Realm Fourth Heaven.

Now, Li Yunjing’s aura nearly exploded in growth.

From the Fifth Heaven to the Sixth Heaven, all the way to the Seventh Heaven!

This was Li Yunjing’s true combat strength!

Li Yunjing let out a long howl, and his formidable Divine Thought condensed from the center of his brow.

The red mark there grew more tangible, like a vertical eye about to open.

The Divine Thought within it activated the Celestial Thunder Emperor Seal, accompanied by dazzling lightning that seemed ready to sweep all away, immediately slaying the Netherworld Ghost!

Inside Li Yunjing, the Thunder Power stored over the years was almost entirely released in an instant.

In mid-air, centered on Li Yunjing, a vast Thunder Sea a thousand feet wide formed.

The Celestial Thunder Emperor Seal in the Thunder Sea thundered towards the Netherworld Ghost.

The thunder’s power was most effective against such ghostly beings.

Surrounded by this thunderous power, which crackled and sparked all over the Netherworld Ghost, the ghost began to panic.

The ghostly aura started showing signs of disintegration.

"What is this? A Thunder Sea?"

Zhuang Yangming was almost dumbfounded, unable to believe they dared to battle such a monster from the Shenxiao Dao Sect!

Even Zhuang Yangming began to doubt whether the top true disciples of their sect could rival Li Yunjing.
