Chapter 126

At this moment, illusory figures seemed to appear in her mind.

Some were headless, some were legless, some were dragging their colorful internal organs across the ground, and some had eyes that were just two deep, bloody holes...

All kinds of strange and terrifying sights, miserable and unbearable corpses, suddenly pressed in as if their wails were shaking the sky.

Among them, Miss Yue even saw the man she had brutally tortured and chewed up bit by bit with her teeth last night.

"What? The blood-food has turned into ghosts? Want to come and seek justice from me?"

She suddenly realized that these people had all died by her hand; after a brief moment of shock, she looked up and laughed wildly:

"Become ghosts? Even if you become ghosts, you are still bastards! What do you have to fight me with?!"

She sacrificed the Yin Dou Rope in her hand, which fiercely transformed into a dark purple light and killed the leading figure; with a bang, it shattered him into powder.

Before Miss Yue could be secretly proud, the sinister figures pressing in seemed to be terrified by this blow and instantly dissipated into wisps of black smoke.

And not long after they dissipated, the scene before her eyes changed to another.

Flowers scattered from the sky, golden light shone brightly, red flames were brilliant, and colorful clouds were gorgeous.

She seemed to have suddenly been placed in a Spirit Heaven Immortal Palace, surrounded by bright light and ten thousand rays of auspicious clouds; coming and going were beautiful men and women with graceful manners, with countless colorful butterflies circling and flying on their bodies, dreamlike and illusory, with exotic fragrances spreading far and wide, making her mouth and nose faintly fragrant.

"This is... I succeeded?!"

In her muddled state, seeing this, a great feeling of joy suddenly surged in Miss Yue's heart:

"I have become a Yin Spirit? I am about to achieve the Dao?!"

She slapped away the Heavenly Maiden who came forward to salute, laughed hideously, caught a beautiful man wearing precious yellow immortal clothes, stripped off his clothing in a few moves, swallowed her saliva, and was about to engage in bedchamber affairs.

Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Miss Yue was startled, stood up with a start, and turned her eyes back in astonishment.

Suddenly!

A red and white primordial pearl, wrapped in heavy thunder fire, shot straight toward her face like a stream of light with the momentum of a thunderbolt!

With a "pfft" sound, the light and shadow shattered.

The beautiful men and women, the Spirit Heaven Palace, all disappeared.

Before her, there was only a thunder-fire lightning primordial pearl of unparalleled ferocity!

Miss Yue felt regret in her heart, her eyes splitting with rage.

But she only noticed it when the primordial pearl was at such a close distance, clearly unable to avoid it.

In her terror, she rolled on the ground, but was still pierced in the shoulder by the thunder-fire lightning primordial pearl, which shattered a part of her ghost body; after a painful cry, she fell backward.

Chen Hang did not stop; he pointed his hand, and the thunder-fire lightning primordial pearl circled again, continuing to fall toward the fallen Miss Yue.

Only this time, it was blocked by a red light emitted by the female ghost.

Looking closely, the red light was a weeping skull.

In an instant, the thunder-fire lightning primordial pearl and the skull collided dozens of times, sparking stars; the loud sound shook, and neither could do anything to the other, falling into a tangle.

"Ziying!"

Having just struggled to climb up from the ground.

Miss Yue saw the miserable scene before her, her pupils shrank, and she could not help but pound the ground with her hands, shedding tears:

"Damn it, why were you killed by me? If you are dead, how can I snatch your man to play with in the future! This heaven-killing thief of a heaven, how thin it treats me! Life will be entirely boring from now on!"

A few steps away from Miss Yue.

Was Ziying, who had died and vanished after being struck by the Yin Dou Rope while muddled from inhaling the mirage energy.

Her cultivation was not as good as Miss Yue's; after inhaling the mirage energy, her consciousness was muddled, and she could not escape or break free.

And at this time, Miss Yue was also dragged into the illusion by the mirage energy, treating her as a living person seeking her life.

Once the Yin Dou Rope was unleashed, it naturally meant her head and body were separated.

Miss Yue felt a wave of sorrow, just wanting to wail a few more times.

Another Green Law Sword flew over like lightning; although the blade had not yet arrived, it had already scraped her skin and bones until they hurt, stinging her eyes until she squinted and could not look directly.

"I was careless for a moment and fell for your illusion; did you really think you could win steadily?!"

Miss Yue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and sneered inwardly.

Her ghost body shook, easily dodging the slashing Green Law Sword and moving several zhang away.

She shook her shoulder again, and a screen of turbid Yin light flew out from behind her; no matter how the Green Law Sword charged left and right, it could not enter, only producing a continuous clanging sound.

With the screen of turbid Yin light protecting her body.

Miss Yue's expression relaxed, and she looked forward, laughing hideously:

"I took a solid hit from your pearl, yet it couldn't kill me! Although I don't know how you produced the aura of our ghost kind, it seems your divine abilities are just so-so!"

"Just wait! I will avenge Ziying and sit you to death with my butt!"

She slowly touched the wound on her shoulder that was transparent from front to back and laughed wildly and hideously.

Chen Hang turned a deaf ear, shook his long sleeves, and continued to fight her while distracted, manipulating the two talisman artifacts like wind and fire.

Every time the thunder-fire lightning primordial pearl struck, it caused the rafters to tremble and crack.

The Green Law Sword emitted cold light, slashing back and forth, with overlapping sword shadows and continuous clear ringing sounds...

After fighting like this for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Miss Yue's heart was vaguely panicked, cold sweat gradually oozing from her back, no longer having her previous arrogant attitude.

She was somewhat from a famous family and had some knowledge; it was not just the Nether Ghost Path, but even the Daoist books of the orthodox immortal path had many collections in her family.

The embryonic breathing of the person in front of her was simply as vast as the sea, majestic and boundless, as if it could never be exhausted no matter how it was used!

Even while manipulating two mid-grade talisman artifacts, he remained calm and composed, showing no signs of decline.

Looking at herself, she was gradually running out of strength, almost killed until she was drenched in cold sweat...

"I can only take a risk; first, I must cripple one of his arms!"

Miss Yue's heart hardened; she suddenly looked up and puffed out a whistling gale, which rolled toward the Green Law Sword that was slashing at the screen of turbid Yin light.

This wind came with great momentum, like hundreds of galloping horses trampling over, instantly destroying the roof, shattering countless bricks and tiles, with a piercing sound.

Even the Green Law Sword was momentarily trapped in this gale, swaying left and right, losing its freedom.

Seeing this gap, Miss Yue did not hesitate, sneered, and transformed the Yin Dou Rope into a dark purple light, striking toward the Green Law Sword.

This ghost artifact was specially bestowed by Lord Shanhu and Madam Feihua after Miss Yue grew up and left home, allowing her to protect her life; it could be said to be the most powerful lethal means this female ghost had.

The Red-Browed Three Ghosts, who were once famous in the nearby territory, could not even withstand one round when they encountered the Yin Dou Rope before dying.

And the Yin Dou Rope was not only lethal but also possessed a terrifying ability to pollute.

Ordinary mid-grade talisman artifacts of the orthodox immortal path would almost be completely ruined and lose their spiritual light as soon as they were slightly stained by it.

In the past, she had encountered immortal cultivators who wanted to kill ghosts and defend the Dao; when she was forced into a disadvantageous position, she relied on this trick to pollute their talisman artifacts and reverse the situation.

The Yin Dou Rope flew out like a long snake, accompanied by miserable light!

Just as it was about to firmly entangle the Green Law Sword, one heard a loud sword hum, the light and shadow trembled, and the Yin Dou Rope struck empty air.

"How can this be?!"

Miss Yue's heart was shocked.

During the fight, she clearly saw that Chen Hang's sword Dao attainments had not yet entered the threshold, and he had not even proven the most basic realm of "Ten Steps One Kill", merely relying on the benefit of the talisman artifact.

But this series of changes, even if it was not "Ten Steps One Kill", was not far off.

After Chen Hang retrieved the Green Law Sword, seeing that Miss Yue's aura had dropped, it was clear that unleashing the Yin Dou Rope was a significant drain on her.

After continuing to fight for dozens of rounds, he let out a clear whistle, his body shook, and he waved his sleeve to release the Innate Great Sun Divine Light.

In the blink of an eye, a brilliant golden light flew out, shaking the void, illuminating the place, and making the unconscious ghosts look as if they were covered in a layer of rosy clothing!

Seeing this golden light coming fiercely, Miss Yue also knew it was powerful; she hurriedly gathered her remaining strength and sacrificed the Yin Dou Rope again to meet it.

Innate Great Sun Divine Light against Yin Dou Rope.

As soon as the two collided, the latter immediately retreated, scattering countless black smoke like melting snow under the hot sun.

Seeing that the Yin Dou Rope, which was usually invincible, was actually unable to compete, Miss Yue was terrified and at a loss, but she had no time to use other means.

The screen of turbid Yin light she used for protection was like paper, easily pierced through; the Innate Great Sun Divine Light brushed over, instantly dissolving half of her body.

Then, with a squeeze, she did not even have time to scream before dying on the spot, with no breath left.

And losing its master's manipulation, the skull that had been fighting the thunder-fire lightning primordial pearl also lost its resistance; its light dimmed, and it fell straight to the ground, smashing a small pit.

After Chen Hang retrieved all the talisman artifacts, he reached out and beckoned.

Like a whale swallowing the sea, he extracted a spiritual breath the size of an arm from the pile of minced meat that Miss Yue had turned into after her death.

He only stared at it for a moment before hesitating no longer, flipped his hand, and slapped the spiritual breath into his own chest.

Boom!

A thunderous sound seemed to echo in his mind.

His heart and lungs were extremely cold, slowly spreading into his blood flow, freezing his skin and bones.

It was a completely different feeling from absorbing the spiritual breath of a dead cultivator...

If the spiritual breath of a dead cultivator was a gushing spring, unruly and restless, then the spiritual breath of these dead ghosts was a pool of cold water, pouring down from the crown of his head, making every pore tremble and his hands and feet cold.

Chen Hang slightly calmed his aura, sat cross-legged on the ground, and after regulating his breath for dozens of breaths, he suppressed the cold meaning in the spiritual breath.

At this moment, the clothes on his body suddenly bulged slightly, and his sleeves moved without wind.

After that coldness was stripped away, what remained of the spiritual breath was only pure spiritual energy.

All his acupoints greedily inhaled, refining it into true embryonic breathing and returning it to his body.

After a while, feeling that his own embryonic breathing volume had increased again, Chen Hang opened his eyes, laughed lightly, and stood up, waving his sleeves.

His "Tai Shi Yuan Zhen" could govern 129,600 types of spiritual energy attributes, which is called "Dragon Heaven Clear, All Truths Governed".

Not only did he not have to worry about the worries of gathering energy like ordinary Qi Cultivators, but he could also absorb the spiritual breath remaining in the bodies of dead cultivators and use it for himself, refining it into his body.

And since he could draw energy from the corpses of cultivators.

Then—

What about these Nether ghosts?

This conjecture.

As early as when Ziying first brought Chen Hang to this ghost manor, from the moment she crushed a ghost that was making noise and causing trouble, it had been confirmed...

"So many ghosts are just enough to solve my need for spiritual energy; as the saying goes, gain and loss are impermanent, and fortune and misfortune often depend on each other... It seems this Earth Abyss has become a blessed land for me."

Chen Hang looked at the hundreds of ghosts of all sizes, confused by the mirage energy, and pulled the corners of his lips, bringing out a smile.

If he were outside the Earth Abyss, if he were to carry out such a slaughter to draw energy from corpses, he would likely be attacked by everyone and end up being pointed at by thousands of people.

But in the Earth Abyss.

The objects he drew energy from happened to be ghosts that ate human flesh and blood.

Even if this matter were spread, it would only be praised as eliminating demons and defending the Dao, and there would definitely be no excessive blame.

And in the Earth Abyss, the most numerous things were ghosts of all kinds, like dense mosquitoes and flies sticking to raw meat, everywhere, and there was no need to deliberately look for them.

In fact, one could encounter them just by walking a few steps.

In Chen Hang's eyes, these were talisman coins that moved and ran, whether large or small!

In fact.

It was not that he had not thought about directly absorbing the turbid Yin energy in the Earth Abyss to practice Qi.

However, the human body and ghosts were different after all; the various principles of punishment, evil, and Yin in the Earth Abyss had already firmly adhered to the 129,600 types of spiritual energy, inseparable.

For ghosts, perhaps it was also a great tonic.

But for cultivators, if they risked absorbing it, it would be no different from swallowing a fierce poison.

After testing it several times in the True Dharma Realm, the results were all death by intestinal rupture, so Chen Hang had no choice but to give up this plan.

And as for why one could not absorb the spiritual energy in the Earth Abyss, otherwise there would be danger to life.

But one could take spiritual breath from the ghosts living in the Earth Abyss to strengthen embryonic breathing.

This is no different from ordinary mortals not being able to drink seawater, otherwise they would vomit and die.

But they can enjoy the various fish, shrimp, turtles, and turtles living in seawater; eating them is not only harmless but can also fill the belly and activate the muscles and blood.

Between the two.

It is actually the same principle...

"Hmm..."

At this moment.

A large ghost with four arms suddenly let out a muffled hum, its eyelids trembling, as if it were about to wake up at any time.

Chen Hang did not move, only threw the "Floating Jade Mirage Pearl" into mid-air, which transformed into a surging water wave ten zhang long and three zhang wide, pressing down with a rumble.

Wherever the water wave rolled, the mirage energy was wantonly scattered, and the ghosts that showed signs of waking up were again muddled in consciousness, continuing to be dragged into the boundless illusion.

He walked slowly to the four-armed ghost that had made the first sound, stared at it for a moment, and then reached out and twisted its neck.

With his five fingers together, he captured a spiritual breath.

"Hoo..."

As soon as the spiritual breath entered his body, it was first cold and bone-chilling, and then it was like drinking sweet dew.

Chen Hang narrowed his eyes slightly and exhaled a long breath.
