Chapter 55: [Danger Level: ★★★★★★★★★★]

Zhao residence, back courtyard.

On the towering ritual platform, Shen Shulan sat cross-legged with eyes closed, breathing in the night's cold air.

The time, eight o'clock PM sharp.

She suddenly opened her eyes, those cold pupils looking toward the southwestern sky of Fengtian City.

Under the night curtain, silver serpents danced chaotically there, thunder light booming.

Shen Shulan took from her chest an exquisitely carved Western pocket watch. The pointer clearly indicated eight o'clock.

It had just reached the appointed time...

The other side's ritual should have only just begun.

Martial Uncle Lu had already employed Celestial Master thunder techniques?!

Shen Shulan took a deep breath, her eyes becoming incomparably sharp in an instant.

No matter what, she must hold the Zhao residence for Martial Uncle.

Absolutely cannot allow even the slightest error!

...

"My 'Malevolent Slaughter Register' ahhhhh!!!!!!"

A shrill scream not resembling a human voice suddenly tore through the southwestern wasteland hill's night sky.

The hunchbacked old man and that old woman went mad, hurriedly, rolling and crawling toward that "Malevolent Slaughter Register" torn in half but Lu Yuan had no time for them.

He looked at that small figure not far away with hands on hips and a smug expression.

His taut nerves suddenly relaxed, wild joy surging through his heart.

Yellow Braised Chicken!

He truly hadn't expected Yellow Braised Chicken to appear here!

Lu Yuan also truly hadn't expected that Old Huang was just awesome!!

No wonder they call it a yellow weasel!!

Stealing chickens is what it does best!!

Looking at Yellow Braised Chicken before him, a huge weight fell from his heart. Lu Yuan let out a long breath.

He looked at Yellow Braised Chicken, his face immediately putting on an extremely serious expression.

"I think... you look like the Haotian Golden Palace..."

Yellow Braised Chicken standing with hands on hips waiting for praise slowly raised a question mark above its head.

"Huh????"

Lu Yuan grinned and continued in a chanting tone, "Supreme Most High..."

The smugness on Yellow Braised Chicken's face instantly froze.

"What are you doing?????"

Lu Yuan ignored it, shaking his head on his own.

"Natural Wonderful Existence..."

Yellow Braised Chicken exploded.

"!!!!!"

"What the hell are you trying to do!!!!"

Lu Yuan's voice became increasingly solemn.

"Miluo Perfect Truth, Jade Emperor..."

"You damn ungrateful bastard!!"

Yellow Braised Chicken completely broke, transforming into a yellow shadow suddenly lunging at Lu Yuan, its face filled with terror.

"Hurry up and shut your damn mouth!!!!"

The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth hooked up. His form barely flickered, dodging the pounce.

He turned around, looking at Yellow Braised Chicken who hadn't recovered after landing, extremely seriously spitting out two words.

"Like a person."

The instant the words fell, a brilliant golden light suddenly brightened from Yellow Braised Chicken's body, then disappeared.

Yellow Braised Chicken was stunned, then turned to Lu Yuan and raised its eyebrows, grinning.

"At least you kid still have some conscience!"

Lu Yuan didn't know how Yellow Braised Chicken got here.

Also didn't know how Yellow Braised Chicken had recovered its cultivation but these matters could be discussed later.

Right now things weren't finished yet!!

Although Yellow Braised Chicken had torn the "Malevolent Slaughter Register," that super malevolent ghost had also stopped condensing but this old man and old woman from the Life-Severing Wang Family needed to be dealt with quickly!

That old woman was very strong, but now there was no one-minute time limit.

Lu Yuan was completely confident he could take them down!!!

His gaze was about to sweep toward that couple mourning like they'd lost their parents when a deadly chill shot straight from his spine to the top of his head!

Wait...

Wait a moment??!

Xu Erxiao and Wang Cheng'an at the side stood in place, the horrified expressions on their faces hadn't dissipated.

The two were like rusted puppet marionettes, their necks turning inch by inch toward the sky.

Looking toward the sky with faces full of terror, their outstretched fingers trembling violently, voices broken and stuttering.

"...Brother... Brother Lu..."

"You... look..."

He saw it.

No need for them to say.

Lu Yuan had already seen it.

That... that super malevolent ghost... hadn't dissipated... still condensing in mid-air...

That line of blood-red text also hadn't dissipated...

[Type: Super Great Completion Malevolent Ghost]

[Cultivation: No cultivation, condensed by "Malevolent Slaughter Register"]

[Weakness: No weakness, but will self-dissipate before dawn]

[Time until complete form condensation: 00:00:15]

[Danger Level: ★★★★★★★★]

Still... still fifteen seconds until condensation... completion...

And... most... most importantly...

Its danger level... why the hell did it increase by four more stars!!!!!

"Destroying my clan's treasure ritual implement!!!"

"You're all dead!!"

The old man sprawled on the ground clutching broken pages, his venomous roar echoing through the wasteland hill.

"Think this can stop the malevolent ghost from condensing?!!"

"Too late!! The malevolent qi from the 'Malevolent Slaughter Register' was completely released long ago!!"

At this moment, no one paid any attention to that crazed old couple.

Everyone's minds were completely seized by that thirty-foot-tall giant malevolent ghost in mid-air.

No more black qi surged around it.

Just as that old man had said, the malevolent qi from the "Malevolent Slaughter Register" had been completely released.

It had already completely absorbed it all!!

Suddenly!

That terrifying thirty-foot malevolent ghost's form abruptly paused, then actually began collapsing inward!

Its body compressed from thirty feet to twenty feet, shrinking by a full one-third!

Its size became smaller but the malevolent qi surging from its body became ten times purer!

That pressure seemed capable of freezing and crushing people's souls!

But the even more terrifying part wasn't this!!

Even more terrifying was, in Lu Yuan's eyes this malevolent ghost's danger level...

From the previous [Danger Level: ★★★★★★★★].

Suddenly gained another ★!!

Now... it was [Danger Level: ★★★★★★★★★]!!

And this still wasn't over!!

In this instant, the super malevolent ghost's size shrank and condensed again, becoming ten feet tall!

And this time, the star level jumped up again!!

[Danger Level: ★★★★★★★★★★]

Full...

Full!!

Another... another twenty-star super-fierce entity!!

Immediately after, this super malevolent ghost's body shrank several more times.

Finally, from a ten-foot-tall colossus, it became a height similar to Lu Yuan's human form.

Its form completely stabilized.

The danger level stars no longer jumped, remaining at [Danger Level: ★★★★★★★★★★].

Of course, Lu Yuan knew.

This wasn't the super malevolent ghost's limit—his system had already reached its limit...

In just over ten seconds, time quietly passed.

The countdown on the panel finally reached zero.

[Time until complete form condensation: 00:00:00]

"ROARRR!!!!!!"

An indescribable roar didn't emerge from its mouth but directly exploded in everyone's soul depths!

That was no longer pure malevolent qi.

That was a condensed-to-the-extreme, as if it would completely pollute and overturn this heaven and earth... pure "evil"!

Another super-fierce entity with danger level exceeding twenty stars had descended into the world!
