CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 43 THE THIRD PRIMARY SOUL: GIANT SPIRIT

The mountains and rocks shattered, the earth trembled.

A tremendous roar completely buried the once elegant courtyard, as the Main Soul Blood Mustache manipulated no less than four hundred fierce ghosts to merge into one, transforming into a monstrous ghostly creature that far surpassed the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment realm.

Blood Mustache hurled punches at the spot where the eerie youth had stood, each punch accompanied by sinister Ghost Qi, with ferocious Hidden Evil Qi shooting straight into the night sky.

From the very first moment of the confrontation, Lu Yan pretended to be weak, only deploying two hundred fierce ghosts openly.

However, under the cover of the sinister ghost fog, Lu Yan secretly dispatched a large number of fierce ghosts to merge into the Ghostly Realm, lying in wait for the right opportunity.

Lu Yan’s mid-stage Qi Cultivation level was truly deceptive, as being able to wield the Hundred Soul Banner at a mid-stage Qi Cultivation level was already considered extraordinarily gifted.

And to command two hundred fierce ghosts, this was already considered good quality within the Hundred Soul Banner.

No one would have thought that a mere mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator wielded the Hundred Soul Banner, containing as many as eight hundred fierce ghosts, with the Main Soul even able to merge these ghosts into one.

It was this crucial hidden trump card of Lu Yan that burst forth with surprising results at the instant of confrontation.

Under Blood Mustache Giant Ghost’s relentless punches, the eerie youth hastily deployed the Red Lotus Body Protection Spell which had long been shattered, and even a top-grade Magical Artifact resembling an umbrella had lost all its spirituality due to the ghost fog corrosion.

The Spirit Talismans were activated only to be broken by Blood Mustache Giant Ghost, leaving the eerie youth unable to mount an effective counterattack against this series of offensives.

"Damn it! You truly deserve to die!"

The eerie youth’s eyes were bloodshot, with no trace of the arrogance of having everything under control.

Uttering an angry roar, the eerie youth’s blood-colored robe billowed, abandoning the use of spells to resist.

"Boom!"

Blood Mustache Giant Ghost’s fist fell without mercy, as the blood-colored lotus on the youth’s robe bloomed, and the seemingly delicate petals actually blocked Blood Mustache Giant Ghost’s strike.

The next moment, a blood-colored spiritual light flashed, and a hook-like strange flying sword shot out straight from the storage pouch on the eerie youth, piercing towards Lu Yan several hundred meters away.

"This giant ghostly creature can withstand my attack, what can a mere mid-stage Qi Cultivation ant like you use to resist?"

In the blink of an eye, the blood-colored sword light arrived, but Lu Yan showed no panic, as a massive ghostly creature already stood in front of Lu Yan, none other than Lu Yan’s primary Main Soul Warrior.

Talent Skill: Ghost Armor Technique!

From within the ghost fog, a fierce ghost flew out, its body emanating black iron-colored cold light, causing the gathered armor to attach to these soul bodies, advancing to face the blood-colored flying sword.

The flying sword pierced through the fierce ghost instantly, its tortoise shell shattering and taking the lethal damage, allowing it to cling onto life.

A mere mid-stage Qi Cultivation fierce ghost could not stop the blood-colored flying sword, but when hundreds, or nearly a hundred, combined to meet the sword, how could it be?

The Ghost Armor Technique absorbed most of the damage, the sinister Ghost Qi weakened the flying sword’s spirituality, and the fierce ghosts with shattered soul bodies unscrupulously squeezed out their Soul Power to disturb the sword.

After piercing through forty-one fierce ghosts consecutively, the flying sword finally lost all its momentum and fell.

The expression of the eerie youth who saw this scene was stunned, filled with disbelief, yet what awaited him was another punch from Blood Mustache Giant Ghost.

The protective spells engraved on his robe shattered, and the immense Soul Power and sinister Ghost Qi engulfed the eerie youth entirely.

Far away, watching the battlefield, Lu Yan furrowed his brow slightly, with a sense of caution silently arising in his heart.

He was certain that the eerie youth’s means were definitely not limited to this, for he had not yet employed the most important top-grade spell of the Red Lotus Karma Fire Scripture.

The next second, in the pit wreckage left by Blood Mustache Giant Ghost’s pounding, a blood-colored flame suddenly rose, igniting Blood Mustache Giant Ghost’s hand and rapidly spreading across its entire body.

Top-grade spell: Red Lotus Karma Fire!

The blood-colored fire almost instantly devoured Blood Mustache Giant Ghost, causing the fierce ghosts to emit trembling howls, their massive bodies collapsing with a crash.

The eerie youth, looking disheveled, flew out from the giant pit, his Red Lotus Robe already tattered. The continuous spells and Red Lotus Karma Fire had consumed a great deal of his Magical Power, and Blood Mustache Giant Ghost’s final strike had further wounded his Divine Soul.

Gazing at Lu Yan protected by a horde of ghosts, the eerie youth understood that although Red Lotus Karma Fire had restrained Blood Mustache Giant Ghost, his own condition might not allow him to take down Lu Yan shielded by so many ghosts. He could only resentfully leave a harsh threat:

"Next time, I will surely take your life!"

The moment his words fell, a blood-colored lotus platform descended beneath the eerie youth’s feet, carrying him away from the Ghostly Realm.

"Don’t wait for next time, stay this time!"

The layers of ghost fog parted, revealing a figure that had long been waiting.

It was a ghostly creature whose body had condensed into physical form. Though not massive, it bore an indescribable weight, and its Cultivation level had reached the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

As the creature reached out its right hand, what was once a normal-sized hand began to grow rapidly, with the Ghost Qi twining within it seemingly encompassing the world the eerie youth sought to escape.

No! It wasn’t just the hand!

In the eerie youth’s shocked gaze, the ghostly creature, originally less than a few meters and in the Foundation Establishment stage, expanded more than tenfold, transforming into a colossal giant resembling a small mountain.

This was none other than Lu Yan’s third Main Soul refined by the Corpse King, its gigantification talent manifesting as the Main Soul’s talent skill: Giant Spirit!

Lu Yan named it: Giant Spirit!

Giant Spirit’s palm turned over, and where the palm fell, it seemed the entire Ghostly Realm was encompassed. Talisman fragments on the eerie youth’s body exploded instantly, yet all was futile.

The fall of Giant Spirit’s hand completely crushed the eerie youth’s flesh.

"Damn it! Damn it!!!"

A white bell flew out of the shattered flesh, entwined with a soul, emitting furious roars from its mouth.

The Ghostly Realm began to shrink, and the remaining fierce ghosts surrounded it, leaving the eerie youth with no way to escape.

"If I can’t survive, neither will you have it easy!"

The Divine Soul was almost instantly drained, transforming into a blood-colored Curse Technique that easily bypassed the protection of the numerous fierce ghosts, targeting Lu Yan.

High-grade Second-tier spell: Karma Soul Curse!

This was the Red Lotus Demon Sect’s mutual destruction spell, where the caster had to sacrifice half of their Divine Soul, and their entire life’s Karmic Force would become a curse to corrode the enemy’s Divine Soul. Even those at a higher level would find it difficult to advance with Karmic Force entangling them.

And the eerie youth cursing Lu Yan, a mid-stage Qi Cultivation cultivator, as a Foundation Establishment, left almost no chance of survival.

Moreover, the Curse Killing Technique could only be countered by the protection of a Merit Treasure, and how could such a rare item be present among mere...

The next second, Divine Protection was triggered, and from the void, the profound and yellow Merit Fire illuminated all directions, manifesting the phantom images of All Heavens Gods, their majestic and righteous aura instantly suppressing the terrifying Ghostly Nether Realm.

And the Karma Soul Curse that neared Lu Yan dissipated like a moth to a flame under the Light of Merit.
