Chapter 38: Four-Armed Ghost God

Deep within the Black Cloud Marsh, the source of the black mist.

Whoosh!

The golden sword pill bypassed the Ghost King, tore through the black mist, and followed that group of evil spirits.

Just then, a massive cauldron, slanted and embedded in the ground, appeared within Li Li Boyang's field of vision.

Billowing black smoke surged from the cauldron, then spread out to form the black mist Li Li Boyang had seen before.

"Awooo!"

"Squeal!"

At this very moment, led by the Ghost-Face Leopard and the Four-Winged Eagle, evil spirits with faces full of resentment charged into that cauldron.

For their corpses and remains lay within that cauldron; only by destroying it could they find release.

Not to mention, their enemies were still inside the cauldron.

"How dare you rebel!?"

"Do not forget who granted you your power!?"

"If I can grant you such power, naturally I can also strip it away!"

A voice as loud as thunder issued from the cauldron.

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

The massive cauldron seemed to transform into a black hole in that instant, continuously refining the evil spirits charging into it.

The evil spirits who reacted a bit slower realized the danger.

Though still blinded by resentment, they instinctively halted their charge.

The result was utterly unexpected: the cauldron actually expanded on its own and began devouring the nearby evil spirits.

Swirl... swirl... swirl...

A visible storm formed near the cauldron.

The evil spirits caught within it now had no chance to escape.

"I, You Xiao, am the High Priest of the Ghost Fang State, the being destined to command ten thousand ghosts!"

"Great Five Directional Gods above, now I will sacrifice the pure spirits of this mountain and forest to exchange for my rebirth!"

Rolling thunder echoed through heaven and earth; the Black Cloud Marsh, already shrouded in black mist, became an endless abyss of darkness.

Realizing something was wrong, Li Li Boyang did not hesitate for a single moment.

He commanded the golden sword pill to slice through the night once more, shooting toward the cauldron with blinding speed.

Hiss—Boom!

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

The cauldron, already slanted in the ground, was now completely overturned, and the evil spirits about to be devoured seized the opportunity to break free.

"You deserve to die!"

From within the toppled cauldron, a huge black egg rolled out.

Blazing cauldron fire clung to the surface of the giant egg, while the evil ghosts previously devoured struggled upon its black shell.

Just one glance at the grotesque faces floating on the egg's surface was enough to chill the blood.

Resentment, rage, despair, terror...

As those grotesque faces gradually vanished from the egg's surface, the resentment contained within its interior nearly became solid.

Whoosh!

Once again, a sword pierced the void.

This time, the sword pill deliberately shrank in size, its target aimed directly at the giant egg.

Without the protection of that cauldron, Li Li Boyang did not believe the giant egg could withstand his sword strike this time.

"You forced me to do this!"

Although it had not yet reached its most perfect state.

The current situation clearly left You Xiao no room for further hesitation.

Boom!

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

As for the black mist that had previously covered the entire Black Cloud Marsh?

At this very moment, it surged madly into the interior of the giant egg like the ocean accepting a hundred rivers.

Clang!

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

Though it was a collision of iron and flesh, it produced a piercing sound of metal striking metal.

Compared to that thick arm, the sword pill seemed as small as a toothpick, utterly powerless to pierce it.

This was the first time Li Li Boyang had encountered something capable of withstanding the sword pill head-on.

Even the Four-Winged Eagle from before had merely relied on its sharp claws to skirmish with it.

"This is the power of the Ghost God!"

Veins bulged on his forearm, and a tone of excitement permeated You Xiao's powerful voice.

Although it had not reached the most perfect state he had envisioned, the power of this new body clearly exceeded his expectations.

"Beneath this night... I am invincible!"

Accompanying You Xiao's roar, three more arms successively shattered the giant egg and slowly spread open.

At the same time, Li Family Village.

Li Li Boyang's third eye snapped open in fury, every blood vessel clearly extending to his temples.

From Li Li Boyang's current perspective, he could clearly see that four-armed ghost god standing proudly amidst the flames, the arrogance and ferocity on its face so obvious.

"It really is a ghost god!?"

The Fate Bone Armor on his fingertips spun at high speed; Li 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, an existence far beyond the imagination of normal living beings on the dimension of life itself.

—Itself the incarnation of a natural disaster.

—Every movement capable of influencing the laws of nature.

Leaving aside everything else, the power it currently displayed alone was enough to tightly control the Golden Sword Pill.

"Crimson Yang Soaring to the Sky!"

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

It was Pan Hu, who had shaken off the Ghost King's restraint at some unknown moment and rushed to aid Li Li Boyang.

Roar!

The five-colored dragon-dog came with fierce momentum; the pure yang flames ignited by his blood even extinguished the surrounding alchemical fires.

Leveraging the momentum of fire igniting fire, Pan Hu crossed nearly a hundred meters in an instant and crashed headlong into the four-armed ghost god just born from the giant egg.

Boom!

Without the slightest surprise, the four-armed ghost god transformed from You Xiao stumbled.

Seizing this rare opportunity, the Golden Sword Pill in the four-armed ghost god's hand suddenly spun and enlarged, drilling through the opponent's palm like a ground-boring machine.

Tear...

Pitch-black ghost god blood sprayed out in response.

The Golden Sword Pill traced a graceful arc in midair, then returned and shot toward the ghost god's head.

The high-speed spinning blade bestowed terrifying killing power upon it at this very moment.

This was basic physical common sense from Li Li Boyang's past life—a high-speed rotating drill is far more lethal than a mere sharp blade.

"Ha!"

Having learned from the previous lesson, the four-armed ghost god dared not underestimate this sword pill again.

Immediately, it kicked away Pan Hu, who was right at its feet, and then stood ready to meet the incoming sword pill.

"Awooo..."

Kicked away, Pan Hu could only let out a mournful cry before collapsing into complete unconsciousness.

After all, he was merely a spirit beast not yet fully transformed, not a true deity.

Being able to directly withstand a strike from the four-armed ghost god was already a display of Pan Hu's extraordinary talent.

To demand more would be to exact cruelty upon Pan Hu himself.
