Chapter 889: Chapter 308: Lord of Wangchuan vs. Ghost Fire Lord (Part 2)
Especially the Forbidden Army, after Lord of Wangchuan took over, they were constantly being eliminated and cultivated, gradually replaced by elite forces solely loyal to him—this is a painstaking accumulation of over a hundred years!
Such a loss was extraordinarily severe.
Thus, Lord of Wangchuan urged a small tributary of the Wangchuan to emerge, not only encircling the sacrificial platform but also enclosing the power of the soul-stealing candle flame, voluntarily taking on most of the power to protect the subordinates outside the sacrificial platform cyclone.
Yin Jiu sat in the Jiao Bone Lotus Platform, looking down below, hiding his apprehension, unwilling to enter the river voluntarily.
Wangchuan, it’s not a river that just anyone can casually traverse.
The vast majority of creatures will lose their memory and emotions after soaking in the Wangchuan, and in severe cases, even their souls will drown.
Only the current Lord of Wangchuan, relying on his unique innate abilities, can frequently and for long periods traverse the Wangchuan River and utilize it to such an extent.
Seeing this scene, Ghost Fire Lord’s determination hardened further.
“Must absolutely stop this action of the Lord of Wangchuan!”
“He already has such innate talent, and if he succeeds, then he will become terrifying.”
Although up to now, Ghost Fire Lord still didn’t know the ultimate goal of the Lord of Wangchuan, it didn’t prevent him from doing everything to block the way.
It’s because after such a big move by the Lord of Wangchuan, Ghost Fire Lord sensed something was off, felt as though facing a formidable enemy, and visited a person skilled in divination.
The results of the divination left Ghost Fire Lord feeling horrified—after the Lord of Wangchuan succeeds, his strength, dormant for years, will increase unreasonably. Ultimately, he will use his personal combat capability to lead the entire Wangchuan Underworld to invade the surroundings, eventually annexing the Ghost Fire Underworld and other forces.
Moreover, he will extend his reach to the Mortal World, capturing the White Paper Immortal City, seizing the entire Yin Tide Black Swamp, and establishing a Ghostman Country that covers both Yin and Yang!
A cold gleam flashed in Ghost Fire Lord’s eyes as he activated his mana, lighting the second candle.
The Cold Abyss Ice Coffin Candle suddenly lit up!
It wasn’t of traditional candle shape but took the form of a palm-sized miniature ice coffin, crystal clear and emanating coldness. There was a small hole in the center of the coffin lid, with an ice crystal wick inside.
A flame of exotic fire ignited at the wick.
The exotic fire, only the size of a yellow bean, was icy blue, burning quietly without the usual flickering and swaying of flames, like a crystal.
The icy blue candlelight shone on the flowing barrier surrounding the Wangchuan tributary.
An ice layer spread out like a plague!
The tumultuous waves that had been tossing like raging dragons instantly froze into static ice sculptures, maintaining their fierce posture against the shore.
Wherever the ice layer passed, even the space let out an unbearable groan, frosted with dense, ghostly blue patterns.
Lord of Wangchuan, hidden in the Wangchuan tributary, suddenly felt an extremely bone-chilling cold enveloping him from all directions.
Lord of Wangchuan was caught in a dilemma.
“If I go out, I’ll surely be exposed to the soul-stealing candle and have my soul drawn out.”
“If I stay here, I fear becoming a permanent captive within the Wangchuan ice river.”
With thoughts racing, Lord of Wangchuan immediately conceived a solution.
The next moment, a figure broke through the air, directly attacking Ghost Fire Lord in midair.
Ghost Fire Lord focused his gaze, seeing that the enemy was a giant.
Standing three zhang tall, entirely jet black, with rugged, gnarled muscle patterns like a cracked riverbed. On the surface of his body, one could see dark red veins beneath the skin, flowing slowly like molten magma.
Numerous pitch-black small holes atop the giant’s head emitted black smoke outward.
Splitting his attention, Lord of Wangchuan—Geosha Corrupted God!
He breathes yin qi, with the earth’s miasma as his blood, and ancient iron as his bones. His defense is like a mountain, possessing great power!
Lord of Wangchuan’s main body studies water element and yin-attributed cultivation techniques, but the clone he diligently trained is closely related to earth element.
Regardless of his considerations, the release of the Corrupted God immediately broke the stalemate.
Its iron fist unleashed a sound of breaking wind, smashed the glacier, pulverized it, making it flow again, still as a tributary of the Wangchuan River.
The fist wind swept the battlefield; the frozen space shattered, and countless ghostly blue frost patterns were smashed, completely obliterated by brute force.
The Corrupted God seized the advantage, marching towards Yin Jiu.
Being provoked, Yin Jiu snorted coldly, hastily activating the third candle.
The Heart-Gouging Blood-Crying Candle ignited quietly.
The candle was dark red, like solidified foul blood, with its surface uneven, pulsing gently as if a heart in motion.
And its wick was a thin, blood-seeping black bone needle.
Upon lighting it, the flame was also dark red, burning silently.
Where the exotic fire illuminated, all living beings would experience intense heartache and continual blood loss.
Even though the body of the Geosha Corrupted God was not flesh and blood, it still fell victim.
Its body, filled with extremely compressed earth miasma, thick as mercury, flashing with earth element spirit light, was being siphoned from its entire form, turning it entirely red.
“Ugh… Roar!” The Geosha Corrupted God let out a howl of anguish, its expression twisted, halting its forward charge, its enormous figure staggering and half-kneeling midpath.
Lord of Wangchuan’s heart jolted: “It seems Ghost Fire Lord’s candle has transcended the traditional concept of blood, affecting any analogous parts, continually draining them.”
The severe pain inflicted on the Corrupted God wasn’t just from the Heart-Gouging Blood-Crying Candle, but also from the earlier soul-stealing and Cold Abyss Ice Coffin Candles!
Thus, the formidable clone suffered tremendous damage under the radiance of the three candles.
Lord of Wangchuan had to intervene to rescue his clone.
Taking a deep breath, he used an oral seal: “Earth Lung Breath, Turbid Waves Overwhelm! Begin!”
He spread his arms, an aura erupting around him, even exposing the exact location of his true form was a risk worth taking, all in an effort to unleash his full strength without delay.
The next moment, a roaring sound reverberated through the heavens, echoing across the battlefield.
The array roared, launching hundreds of energy pillars soaring into the sky.
Each pillar, as thick as a giant python, viscous like petroleum, filled with a foul stench of corruption.
They were the earth’s miasma, accumulated through endless ages from deep within the underworld.
While the earth’s miasma can tarnish magic treasures, dulling spiritual nature, it was rare heavenly earth treasure for the Geosha Corrupted God, acting as unparalleled elixir pills.
A column of miasma surged like a python, infusing into the Geosha Corrupted God’s body, instantly restoring it at full speed.
The next moment, the Geosha Corrupted God stood upright energetically, more vigorous than before!
Not only that, but these miasma pillars formed a viscous, foul-smelling canopy above the battlefield!
Within this, Yin Jiu immediately found breathing laborious, beset by formless pressure from all directions, making every movement more demanding than before.
Even exerting mana became more difficult.
Not daring to be negligent, he immediately made provisions.
On one hand, he summoned the Yin Crow.
A gigantic bone hand leaped out swiftly, grabbing the Corrupted God’s arm directly.
The flame erupted from the bone hand, a ghastly whitish-green flame igniting, and the Corrupted God roared in pain once more.
The previously indestructible iron body softened and collapsed under the intense flames, causing the arm of the Geosha Corrupted God to be embedded in the bonfire like a red-hot iron.
With Geosha Corrupted God under control, Yin Jiu’s second ghost technique infiltrated its body.
Purple-black fire strands, thin as hair, pierced and twisted through the divine body like a myriad of venomous serpents.
The internal organs of the Corrupted God were shredded, dark red, pierced with thousands of vehement serpents.
The third strike, brewed by Yin Jiu’s next ghost technique, formed nine three-legged silver crows in the sky!
Encompassing ghost fire, the silver crows crashed into the chest of the Corrupted God, leaving its torso with nothing but a single layer of skin connecting to the back.
Boom boom boom…
Nine consecutive explosions rocked its chest, leaving only a thin layer of skin at the back remaining.
