Chapter 38: Four-Armed Ghost God

Deep in the Black Cloud Marsh, at the source of the black fog.

Swish!

The golden sword pellet bypassed the Ghost King, tore through the black fog, and followed right behind that group of evil spirits.

Just then, a massive alchemy furnace, slanted and stuck in the ground, appeared within Li Boyang’s field of vision.

Billowing black smoke surged out from the alchemy furnace, then spread outward to form the black fog Li Boyang had seen earlier.

"Awoo!"

"Skree!"

At this very moment, led by the Ghost-Faced Leopard and the Four-Winged Eagle, one evil spirit after another charged into the alchemy furnace, their faces full of resentment.

Because their corpses and remains were inside that furnace; only by destroying it could they find release.

Not to mention, the enemy of these evil spirits was still inside the furnace.

"You dare to rebel!?"

"Don't forget, who was it that granted you your power!?"

"I can grant you such power, and naturally, I can strip it away from you as well!"

A voice as loud as thunder rang out from the alchemy furnace.

Immediately following, an even more terrifying power appeared in the Black Cloud Marsh.

The massive alchemy furnace seemed to turn into a black hole in that instant, continuously refining the evil spirits that rushed into it.

Those evil spirits that reacted more slowly realized the crisis.

Although they were still blinded by resentment, they instinctively stopped their charge.

The result, which no one could have expected, was that the alchemy furnace actively expanded and began to devour the nearby evil spirits.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

A visible storm formed around the alchemy furnace.

The evil spirits caught in it now had no way to escape.

"I, You Xiao, am the High Priest of the Ghost Square Kingdom, a being destined to rule over ten thousand ghosts!"

"Great Five Directions Gods above, I shall now sacrifice the spirits of this mountain forest in exchange for my rebirth!"

Rolling thunder echoed across the heavens and earth, and the Black Cloud Marsh, already shrouded in black fog, turned into an abyss of endless darkness.

Realizing things were going wrong, Li Boyang did not hesitate in the slightest.

He drove the golden sword pellet to cut through the dark night once more, shooting toward the alchemy furnace with lightning speed.

Whiz—boom!

In an instant, the collision between the sword pellet and the cauldron produced a massive explosion.

The alchemy furnace, which had been slanted in the ground, was completely overturned, and the evil spirits about to be devoured seized the opportunity to break free from their bonds.

"You deserve to die!"

From the overturned alchemy furnace, a pitch-black giant egg rolled out.

Raging alchemy fire clung to the surface of the giant egg, while the evil ghosts previously devoured by it struggled on the surface of the black egg.

Just one look at the hideous faces emerging on the surface of the giant egg was enough to make one's blood run cold.

Resentment, anger, despair, terror...

As those hideous faces gradually disappeared into the surface of the giant egg, the resentment contained within it almost materialized.

Swish!

Once again, a sword broke through the air.

This time, the sword pellet deliberately shrank its size, aiming directly at the giant egg.

Without the protection of the alchemy furnace, Li Boyang did not believe the giant egg could withstand his sword again.

"You forced my hand!"

Although it had not yet reached its most perfect state.

But the current situation clearly left no room for You Xiao to hesitate any longer.

Boom!

Then, another explosion sounded, and the surging alchemy fire instantly ignited nearly half of the Black Cloud Marsh.

As for the black fog that had originally covered the entire Black Cloud Marsh?

At this moment, it surged madly into the interior of the giant egg like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

Clang!

Just as the sword pellet was about to strike the giant egg, a muscular arm suddenly thrust out from within.

It was clearly a collision of iron and flesh, yet it produced a harsh, metallic ringing sound.

Against that thick arm, the sword pellet looked as small as a toothpick, completely unable to pierce through it.

This was the first time Li Boyang had encountered a being capable of taking a sword pellet head-on.

Even the Four-Winged Eagle from earlier had only relied on its sharp claws to maneuver around it.

"This is the power of a Ghost God!"

Veins bulged on the forearm, and You Xiao’s powerful voice revealed a sense of excitement.

Although he had not reached the perfect state he had envisioned, the power of this newborn body clearly exceeded his imagination.

"Under this dark night... I am invincible!"

Accompanied by You Xiao’s roar, three more arms broke through the giant egg one after another, slowly stretching out.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

At the same time, Li Village.

Li Boyang’s three eyes were wide open in anger, with blood vessels clearly extending to his temples.

From Li Boyang’s current perspective, he could clearly see that four-armed Ghost God standing proudly amidst the flames, the arrogance and hideousness on its face so obvious.

"It really is a Ghost God!?"

The Destiny Bone Armor at his fingertips spun at high speed; Li Boyang had already recognized You Xiao’s current state.

According to the description in the "Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets," the opponent had now transformed into a true Ghost God, a being that far exceeded the imagination of normal living creatures at the level of life dimensions.

—It is the embodiment of natural disaster itself.

—Every move it makes can affect the laws of nature.

Not to mention anything else, the power it was currently displaying was enough to hold the golden sword pellet firmly in check.

"Red Sun Soaring to the Heavens!"

Suddenly, a familiar pure-yang flame swept across the earth.

It was Pan Hu, who had somehow broken free from the Ghost King’s restraint and arrived to lend Li Boyang a hand.

Whoosh!

The five-colored dragon-dog charged aggressively, and the pure-yang flames ignited by his blood extinguished the surrounding alchemy fire.

Utilizing the momentum of fire fueling fire, Pan Hu crossed nearly a hundred meters in an instant and slammed head-on into the four-armed Ghost God that had just been born from the giant egg.

Bang!

Without any surprise, the four-armed Ghost God transformed by You Xiao was knocked staggering.

Seizing this rare opportunity, the golden sword pellet in the four-armed Ghost God’s hand suddenly spun and grew larger, drilling through the opponent’s palm like a pile driver.

Rip...

Pitch-black Ghost God blood sprayed out in response.

The golden sword pellet traced a graceful arc in mid-air, then immediately returned and shot toward the Ghost God’s head.

The high-speed rotating sword body bestowed upon it terrifying lethality at this moment.

This was basic physics knowledge from Li Boyang’s past life—a high-speed rotating drill is far more lethal than a simple sharp blade.

"Ha!"

Having learned his lesson, how could the four-armed Ghost God dare to underestimate this sword pellet again?

He immediately kicked Pan Hu, who was close at hand, away and prepared to meet the arrival of the sword pellet.

"Awooo..."

Pan Hu, kicked away, only had time to let out a mournful cry before he completely lost consciousness.

After all, he was only a spirit beast that had yet to undergo metamorphosis, not a true deity.

Being able to take a blow from the four-armed Ghost God head-on was already a sign of Pan Hu’s innate talent.

To demand any more of him would be a harsh criticism of Pan Hu himself.
