Chapter 524: Heavenly Ghost Secret Art, the Yin Dragon Holy Son's Shock

The Fourth Elder held Yin Gui Zhenren in his arms; having expended a vast amount of essence blood and lifespan, his skin visibly aged considerably. This time, the Great Yama Dharma Body had not only consumed all his essence blood and ghost Qi origin, but also his lifespan.

That the Great Yama Dharma Body could erupt with such power, on par with True Person Tiangui, did not come without a price.

"Sect Master."

Around the Fourth Elder, there was no one else. He did not allow anyone else to approach — not even the Sixth Elder and the Eighth Elder were permitted to come near, much less anyone else.

This was what the Sect Master had instructed in advance, placing great trust in him. At a time like this, apart from himself, no one else could be absolutely trusted.

He infused ghost Qi, continuously channeling the power of his origin. The Fourth Elder stabilized Yin Gui Zhenren's ghost Qi origin from further depletion, and his lifespan was also stabilized at this point. The Fourth Elder stuffed several pills in succession, and only then exhaled a breath.

"Finally stabilized. Sect Master, the task you entrusted to me — I have accomplished it."

The first step was accomplished. What remained was to protect the Sect Master and keep him from danger.

The Fourth Elder shielded Yin Gui Zhenren, radiating ghost Qi to form a domain-like zone, allowing no one to approach. Without his permission, anyone who entered this domain would be regarded as an enemy.

Inside the cage, True Person Tiangui's body was constantly pierced. Blood stained the wooden thorns and was swallowed by them.

Ghost fire burned; ghost wood devoured.

The two combined — this was a composite divine ability, the result of the Sixth Elder and the Eighth Elder's years of cultivation. Their mastery of the divine ability was meticulous to the finest detail; the slightest misstep in coordination would result in failure.

The two of them controlled the divine ability, continuously torturing True Person Tiangui, draining the last trace of origin from his body.

His ghost Qi origin extracted, True Person Tiangui's body was devoured bit by bit, leaving behind a corpse.

A corpse like a dried husk, devoid of essence, spirit, and vitality.

His ghost Qi, too, dissipated.

His body broke apart into many pieces, suspended within the cage, swallowed by the yin wood.

Everyone watched this scene, their expressions complex.

The disciples of the Yin Gui Sect, seeing this, were exceedingly excited. With True Person Tiangui dead, they had secured victory. As for the remaining three Elders — sorry, there was absolutely no need to worry about them.

The Second Elder's expression was ugly. He wanted to act, but was being watched by the surrounding Elders and disciples. If he dared to make a move, he would be killed instantly.

The Fifth Elder was the same, murmuring, "Is True Person Tiangui dead?"

If True Person Tiangui was dead, then he would be in great danger.

He glanced at the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder. The three of them reached a silent agreement.

As long as they confirmed True Person Tiangui was dead, they would leave immediately, flee the Yin Gui Sect at once.

The Ninth Elder, Tenth Elder, and Eleventh Elder watched them. With their right hands, they made a gesture. The disciples behind instantly understood and began encircling the Yin Gui Sect, silently laying down Formations to cut off the three's escape routes.

"Careful, he's still alive." The Sixth Elder suddenly spoke, warning the Eighth Elder.

The Eighth Elder naturally knew. His right hand formed a hand seal as he pressed against the void.

"Ghost Domain — Yin Wood World."

The cage in the sky expanded in an instant.

Countless ghost wood grew and spread.

It formed a massive ghost domain, a realm composed of ghost wood.

Sky-Piercing Ghost Wood supported the world, slowly spreading outward.

In less than a few breaths, the surrounding three hundred meters all became part of the world.

True Person Tiangui was bound at the center of the ghost wood world. Everything about him became nourishment for the ghost wood world.

As one declined, the other grew.

True Person Tiangui grew ever weaker, while the ghost wood world grew stronger, its devouring power rising accordingly.

It would not be long before True Person Tiangui was completely swallowed by this world.

"Bzz."

True Person Tiangui's body began to coalesce, attempting to reassemble his form.

"Hmph, you want to reassemble your body? Dream on."

Ghost fire blazed from the Sixth Elder's hands, transforming into two fire dragons that surged straight toward True Person Tiangui's corpse.

"Boom."

The fire dragons swallowed True Person Tiangui's corpse, and along with it, the ghost wood was swallowed as well.

The ghost fire dragons burned themselves, and True Person Tiangui's shell within began to melt away bit by bit.

The Sixth Elder pressed his hands together and shouted furiously, "Incinerate."

The flames erupted.

Like a sun, they illuminated the entire ghost wood world.

The Eighth Elder and the Sixth Elder stared at True Person Tiangui. That man was not yet completely dead.

"What?"

"Still not dead."

"An immortal body?"

The Sixth Elder's expression was ugly. Such a divine ability still could not kill him.

Very difficult to deal with.

The two exchanged a glance and decided to add more fire.

"Fourth Elder."

The Fourth Elder nodded. He extended his right hand, and inside the ghost wood world, it began to rain.

The rain was pitch black, like ghosts.

Ghost Art divine ability — Ghost Rain.

The Fourth Elder's divine ability, and also his most famous one.

"Ghost Rain."

Annihilate the soul.

This rain targets the Heavenly Ghost True Person's soul, body, soul, and will, destroying them all.

The three's divine powers combined, and the ghost‑wood world became, as it were, a grave.

The Heavenly Ghost True Person's body was corroded, unable to revive, unable to coalesce.

The corrosion of the ghost rain is extremely terrifying.

Unable to block, unable… to resist, the sky is filled with it.

Nowhere to hide, can only endure it.

This scene fell into the Second Elder's eyes; he wanted to intervene, but could not act.

Powerless.

Heavenly Ghost True Person.

He gritted his teeth, just about to act, when the Ninth Elder and Tenth Elder instantly reacted, their divine powers ready to move at any moment.

The Second Elder, helpless, could only clench his teeth and withdraw his divine power.

The Fourth Elder reminded, "He is not dead yet."

Buzz.

The ghost‑wood world collapses.

The Heavenly Ghost True Person's body completely dissipated, and his ghostly soul broke free from the body.

That soul feared neither flame, nor rain, nor yin wood.

All attacks are fearless.

"You three are damned."

"And Yin Gui Zhenren, daring to destroy my flesh."

"You all, prepare to meet the Heavenly Ghost's revenge."

The Heavenly Ghost True Person struck a bizarre pose, coldly staring at everyone.

"Heavenly Ghost Secret Technique, Heavenly Ghost Descends."

Buzz.

The sky split open.

A black pillar of light fell onto the Heavenly Ghost True Person's soul, enveloping his entire body.

That soul began to coalesce.

Ghost qi gathered toward him.

All the Yin Gui Sect's ghost qi, even the disciples' ghost qi, was swallowed together.

It went out of control.

The Second Elder exclaimed in terror, "My ghost qi is out of control, damn it."

The Fourth Elder's face turned grim, "Damn it, what on earth is he doing?"

The Sixth Elder protested, "We cannot let him siphon our ghost qi."

Ghost qi cannot be siphoned away.

These Elders can resist, but those disciples lack the strength; even with Formation protection, it is useless.

Ghost qi runs rampant, uncontrolled.

No matter how they resist, how they stabilize the ghost qi, it is all futile.

Sect Master.

The Fourth Elder immediately returned to Yin Gui Zhenren's side, helping him stabilize the ghost qi.

Underground.

The Yin Dragon Holy Son looked up and shouted, "Heavenly Ghost Descends, he actually uses this move; does he intend to destroy this world?"

Heavenly Ghost—that power exceeds this world.

Above the condensation pill, True Realm power.
