Chapter 37: Ghosts Rebel and Backlash; Evil Fiends Slay Their Master

【How is this possible?】

【Even if your body in this life can bear the Divine Thunder Sword, it is absolutely impossible for you to possess such vigorous vitality!】

The concept of "primordial energy" seemed not to exist in his mind.

The old man had simply interpreted the life primordial energy and the earth vein fiendish qi within Li Li Boyang's body as "vitality."

Especially the exclusivity and devouring nature produced by the mixture of life primordial energy and earth vein fiendish qi far exceeded the old man's expectations.

In fact, let alone the old man.

Even if the Five Directional Deities themselves were present, they would likely be unable to understand how Li Li Boyang managed to mix life primordial energy with earth vein fiendish qi without being devoured or assimilated by the fiendish qi.

"There are many things you didn't anticipate!"

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as Li Li Boyang revealed his tiger teeth and spoke.

"Panhu said that pure righteous thoughts and pure yang blood are your bane..."

"Then do you think my blood counts as pure yang blood?"

Looking at the Destiny Bone Armor in his palm, which now faced upward, Li Li Boyang, who already knew the answer, smiled.

The next second, Li Li Boyang directly bit his finger until it bled.

Then he lifted his clothes and drew a mysterious Talisman and Incantation on his chest.

This Talisman and Incantation also came from the Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets, being one of the twelve talismanic admonitions at the end of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Scroll.

Through his deciphering and understanding over this period, combined with the experiences Xi Luo occasionally mentioned...

Li Li Boyang roughly guessed that this talisman might be related to souls, evil spirits, and spirituality.

It was often used by that Huaijiang witch woman for exorcising ghosts, dispelling evil, and communicating between yin and yang.

Although it was unclear if the talisman could be used this way, under these circumstances, it was better than nothing at least.

Rush!

Thus, almost the instant the blood formed the admonition.

A type of primordial energy Li Li Boyang had never encountered before surged into the talisman from all directions.

This wave of primordial energy seemed to come from another exotic dimension; ethereal yet carrying a hint of ghostly coldness.

Most crucially, this primordial energy indeed seemed to have some special effect on souls.

【Ah!】

Accompanied by a tragic, miserable wail, the Heart-Seizing Fiend transformed from the old man instantly melted away like ice and snow.

In an instant, the spiritual essences of countless beasts surged out from within Li Li Boyang's body.

And trailing at the very end was a Ran Yi Fish, clearly visible.

However, in its soul state, the Ran Yi Fish was no longer an evil fiend, but a spiritual monster that had awakened spirituality.

"Moo!"

After being liberated by Li Li Boyang, the Ran Yi Fish first cast a lingering glance at this world.

Subsequently, just like the spiritual souls of the other beasts, it vanished into other dimensions.

Only at the final moment before departing did the Ran Yi Fish, in a very human-like manner, kiss Li Li Boyang's forehead.

Or more accurately, the Ran Yi Fish kissed the third eye in the center of Li Li Boyang's brow.

—It chose to leave its last remaining shred of spirituality with this "Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon" who had liberated it.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"No!"

At the same time, the Ghost King on the front battlefield suddenly let out an angry roar.

Because at the moment Li Li Boyang purified the Ran Yi Fish, a backlash from the soul appeared upon the Ghost King.

The fiendish ghosts, who had been fiercely battling Xi Luo, the Sword Pellet, and Panhu, one after another wailed miserably and dissolved into smoke, as if they had suffered a heavy injury.

No, it was not merely suffering a heavy injury.

The Ghost King's soul suffering a heavy injury meant he had lost his dominance and control over the fiendish ghosts.

Those weaker monsters, affected by the Ghost King's plight, re-transformed into the spiritual souls of ten thousand beasts and scattered.

But those fiendish ghosts refined from spiritual monsters.

After briefly dissipating, forcibly relied on their own obsessions and resentments to gather together again.

Although the loss of the other beast spiritual essences meant these re-gathered evil fiends no longer possessed the terrifying power they had before.

Compared to ordinary spiritual monsters and evil ghosts, these evil fiends still possessed extremely terrifying strength.

"Ao!"

"Li!"

The Ghost-Faced Leopard and the Four-Winged Male Eagle were the first to raise their heads and let out long howls.

They possessed greater power than the other spiritual monsters, so they also re-gathered faster than them.

However, this time they did not continue attacking Xi Luo and Li Li Boyang; instead, they uniformly turned their targets and pounced toward the depths of Black Cloud Marsh.

Just like a fuse, the remaining spiritual monsters that successively re-gathered also followed closely behind.

"This is..."

This scene left Xi Luo completely stunned.

Even her original attacking movements came to a halt.

Panhu, who was similarly stunned, hesitated for a moment before shifting his gaze toward the still wailing Ghost King.

"You dare!"

The angry roar echoed throughout a radius of a hundred li.

The Ghost King's voice made the mountains and forests tremble and caused a hundred beasts to quake with fear.

Regrettably, the spirit-beasts, wrapped in hatred, felt no fear of the Ghost King's roar; instead, they rushed even faster toward the depths of Black Cloud Marsh.

Controlling the hordes of evil spirits inevitably invites their backlash.

This is a matter of natural law; even in the form of a Ghost King, it cannot be avoided.

【Help me stall it!】

In a flash, Li Li Boyang's voice simultaneously entered Xi Luo's and Panhu's ears.

Whoosh!

The golden sword pill sliced through the long night like lightning.

Following closely behind those evil spirits, it too rushed toward the depths of Black Cloud Marsh.

After all, Li Li Boyang had already seen that the seemingly ferocious Ghost King was not the old man's true form.

Saying "a cunning hare has three burrows" might be an exaggeration.

But the cunning old man had certainly left himself enough contingencies.

Coincidentally, the backlash from the evil spirits revealed the location of the old man's true body.

This was an opportunity, an opportunity to cut the old man down by the roots.

"I will help you!"

"Before I die in battle, he will absolutely not interfere with you."

At this moment, the first to respond to Li Li Boyang was not Xi Luo, but Panhu, the dog-headed humanoid.

"Awooo!"

Only the sound of a howl that echoed through the mountains and forests was heard.

Panhu leaped into the air, transforming into a massive five-colored dragon-dog.

He bore horns like those of a young dragon, his body radiated five-colored brilliance, and his size was even larger than a giant elephant.

"Be careful; do not push yourself too hard."

Seeing this, Xi Luo could only whisper a warning before she too lunged at the fearsome Ghost King alongside the five-colored dragon-dog.

Boom!

The blazing flames and the five-colored brilliance illuminated the night.

The battle between the Ghost King, Xi Luo, and Panhu shook the mountains and forests, startling countless mountain gods and spirit-beasts.

Unlike the various probes before.

At this moment, all three had unleashed their full strength and hidden trump cards, solely to shake off their opponents as quickly as possible.

Alas, the strength of all three sides far exceeded their opponents' expectations.

Even Panhu, who appeared the weakest of the three, could intimidate the Ghost King with his own pure yang blood.

Whenever the battle reached a point where the Ghost King sought to break away, Panhu would without hesitation bite through the tip of his own tongue, spitting out pure yang flames in a manner akin to mutual destruction.

For a time, the entire battlefield fell into a stalemate.
