forced to halt her rush toward the Ghost Infant River, she stared solemnly at the towering ghostly figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daring to invade my ghost realm's forbidden grounds and split my ghost clan's ancestral mountain...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Ghost King entered the forbidden zone, he noticed Jing Sheng's bloodline chains and the Ghost Fire Token; a sweep of his divine sense revealed the rift in the realm barrier, allowing him to instantly deduce the origin of the firebird nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingguang Hall...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost King hesitated briefly; he had no desire to confront the Zhu Que Army, yet if he could obtain the Ghost Fire Token and absorb human yang souls, his cultivation would surely surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Ghost King made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era of great contention, how could he hesitate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, that firebird's cultivation was not high, merely at the Infant Transformation stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For invading my ghost clan's forbidden grounds, today you must return your soul here to atone for your sins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, the Ghost King waved his hand; black water from the Ghost Infant River surged skyward, transforming into countless ghostly claws that swept down upon Hua Changxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing a lethal threat, Hua Changxi's firebird form instantly expanded; then, spreading its wings, it erupted with spiritual power, forming a cascade of fire to meet the ghostly claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two forces collided mid-air, intertwining firelight and ghostly qi, bursting forth with blinding brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resulting shockwave even shook the Ghost King's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This truly startled the Ghost King; he had never expected Hua Changxi's explosive combat power to be so formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the Ghost King intensified his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the ghost clan's cultivation system, the Ghost King's realm equated to the Human Clan's Spirit Condensation stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Hua Changxi was merely an Infant Transformation cultivator, her cultivation fundamentally insufficient to contend with the Ghost King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the ghostly claws scattered into ash only to reform again and again, endless and unceasing, while the towering fire cascade struggled to sustain itself, gradually being suppressed by the claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling her spiritual power depleting wildly, obvious panic appeared on Hua Changxi's face as she quickly scanned her surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her surged a tide of ghosts pouring from Ghost Mother Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before her, a towering ghostly silhouette blocked the path in mid-air, while beneath her feet, countless ghost soldiers crawled out of the Ghost Infant River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she had nowhere to retreat and nowhere to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi knew she could not continue matching the towering ghostly figure in a battle of cultivation; continuing thus, even if she exhausted every drop of spiritual power within her, she would still fail to break through the figure's blockade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames churned, revealing a human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, sword beams wreathed in scorching white flames tore through the sky, striking directly at the towering ghostly silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi exerted her full strength; though not reaching the extent of ten thousand swords firing simultaneously, she still unleashed dozens of sword strikes within a few breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the sword beams tearing through the air, the Ghost King sensed the heaven-scorching power radiating from them; his expression changed again as he hastily condensed a ghostly shield to block them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of sword beams struck down, shattering the ghostly shield outright, while several beams pierced directly through the Ghost King's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his ghostly form grow faint, the Ghost King felt both shock and rage; holding nothing back, he launched a full-power attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost King opened his massive maw, and the surface of the Ghost Infant River instantly transformed into a giant mouth; Hua Changxi immediately felt a terrifying suction force acting upon her, threatening to drag her entire being into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi struggled fiercely, yet no matter how she resisted, she could not break free from that suction force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the verge of being dragged into the Ghost Infant River, Hua Changxi's body blazed with brilliant spiritual light as she directly activated the Divine Ability 'Law of Heaven and Earth'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire form suddenly grew larger and taller—ten zhang, a hundred zhang...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst churning crimson flames, a giant fiery silhouette rose from the ground, matching the Ghost King in size; within this forbidden ghost realm filled with sky-obscuring ghostly qi and eerie ghost fires, she appeared like a deity descending upon the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Netherworlds trembled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All regions of the Nine Netherworlds shook!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A human?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A human had actually invaded the ghost realm and engaged the Ghost King in battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the walls of Zhongmen Pass, Wei Zhenjie's expression sharply changed upon seeing the giant fiery silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, confusion crossed his face, unsure why the fire-person had suddenly invaded the ghost realm; yet soon, understanding dawned upon his features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ghost Fire Well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his master's low murmur, Chu Junyi looked over in surprise: \"Master, that person is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his heart was filled with immense shock; having guarded the Nine Netherworlds for years, he had never known such a powerful expert had emerged in the mortal world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Zhenjie's expression remained grave: \"Nine times out of ten, it is the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Hall Master of Lingguang Hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does it feel like she is everywhere?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several other Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers on the wall exclaimed in astonishment; they could not help it, as the title of Lingguang Hall's Hall Master had been mentioned so often that even those guarding the Nine Netherworlds knew it by heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ghost realm's forbidden grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two colossal entities faced off above the Ghost Infant River, one bathed in fire, the other wreathed in black qi; the aftershocks of their clashing auras shook Ghost Mother Mountain repeatedly and sent waves rippling across the Ghost Infant River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost King could no longer count how many times he had been shocked; gazing at the fire-person standing equal before him, he actually conceived the thought of retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, the ghost realm was in turmoil; several Ghost Generals were preparing to break through their realms and advance to Ghost King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he suffered heavy injuries, once those Ghost Generals successfully broke through, he feared he would no longer be able to continue ruling Ghost Realm Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, just as the Ghost King hesitated, the fire-person moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive fist burning with flames attacked fiercely; the Ghost King instinctively countered, as countless resentful souls on his Ten-Thousand-Soul Bone Armor shrieked, causing his ghostly qi to surge tenfold, transforming into a giant palm that obscured the sun and sky, slamming down hard upon the flaming giant fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two forces collided, erupting in a blinding light; the shockwave radiated outward, forcibly pressing a massive depression into the surface of the Ghost Infant River, causing the water to surge to both sides and revealing piles of white bones accumulated on the riverbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost palm shattered, and the flame fist dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost King's pupils contracted sharply; upon realizing the fire figure was still a high-stage body cultivator, he suppressed his trembling heart and suddenly gaped his massive mouth wide again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, black water from the Ghost Infant River shot skyward, transforming into several black snakes a thousand zhang long; with ferocious heads and oily green eyes, they opened their pitch-black maws to bite at the fire figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire figure charged toward the black snakes, unleashing a barrage of Flame Fists and Flame Kicks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even with such relentless strikes of hands and feet, Hua Changxi was still entangled by one of the black snakes, severely restricting her movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost King condensed another ghost palm and slapped fiercely at Hua Changxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the ghost palm descend upon her like a mountain range, sensing the aura of death, a red lotus flame emerged in Hua Changxi's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a vivid crimson fire lotus manifested beneath her feet, swelling violently in the wind to become a thousand-zhang lotus platform; its petals bloomed layer upon layer, each containing the power to destroy heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Red Lotus Flame, the Ghost King's expression changed drastically, and he panicked completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Red Lotus Karmic Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extinguish the karmic fire, and this King will let you leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost King roared loudly, his voice carrying undisguised panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, the karmic fire lotus had already ignited the black snake entangling Hua Changxi, and that snake was condensed from the waters of the Ghost Infant River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the black snake, the karmic fire surged toward the Ghost Infant River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost King's face was filled with terror: \"This is a forbidden ground of the Ghost Realm; you cannot wield such a taboo object here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghost Mother Mountain and the Ghost Infant River were naturally conceived by heaven and earth; if you dare to openly destroy the foundation of the Ghost Realm, you will surely suffer heavenly punishment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, Hua Changxi recalled her experience of being locked onto by a heavenly tribulation at Ghost Mother Mountain, and her expression also changed sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the karmic fire spread too quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the karmic fire ignite the Ghost Infant River, the Ghost King's eyes nearly burst from their sockets in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the karmic fire passed, the black water evaporated, ghostly shadows wailed, and thousands of ghost soldiers were burned until their souls scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumble~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very moment the Ghost Infant River ignited, tribulation clouds condensed once more in the sky, denser and more violent than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple thunder python churned violently within the cloud layers,死死 locking onto Hua Changxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?? Dear readers, Happy New Year; may you immediately find fortune, immediately become wildly wealthy, and achieve complete success in the Year of the Horse, 2026.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?
