Chapter 2551: Chapter 2552: Restless Vengeful Spirit

After Zhou Lie was killed by Lin Chen, he still couldn’t let go and refused to reincarnate, turning into a vengeful ghost.

Zhou Lie couldn’t understand why, despite his diligent efforts in cultivation far surpassing the other’s, he couldn’t defeat the young man.

Zhou Lie was on the road of lost souls, preparing for reincarnation when suddenly he realized there were many things in his life he couldn’t let go of.

He looked at the bowl of glowing blue soup in Meng Po’s hands, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly knocked the bowl over.

Because he knew very well that he didn’t yet have the courage to bid farewell to the past, and Zhou Lie was unwilling to concede.

Why could Lin Chen always surpass him, why was he always stronger, Zhou Lie was not satisfied.

He must achieve something even more powerful and impressive.

Since deciding to abandon reincarnation, Zhou Lie wandered the mortal world each day, observing people’s joys and sorrows, and their achievements.

However, it was a pity that those emotions were now irrelevant to him.

His ghostly existence was devoid of possessions, unable to make any plans.

One night, while residing in a cave feeling particularly weary, preparing to sleep, he suddenly heard a sound within.

Though he was now a vengeful ghost, the sound still made his skin crawl with fear.

Zhou Lie quickly stood up from the ground, starting to search the cave, hoping to find the source of the sound, but after a long time found nothing.

It aroused his curiosity, not knowing why such a situation occurred.

"I say, come out immediately; hiding is not what heroes do." At this moment, Zhou Lie indeed felt some fear; even as a lost soul, he was still scared.

After a while, a distant laugh continued to echo from the cave, reverberating in his ears.

He prepared to run out of the cave but found his way blocked.

Could there be an ancient demon lurking here?

As a ghost, his previous human cultivation had vanished.

The only remaining part of him was memories from when he was alive; everything else he had long forgotten.

If an ancient demon truly intended to harm him, he feared he could only meet an untimely death.

After a while, he saw a mass of black mist slowly floating out of the cave towards him.

Zhou Lie felt some curiosity as he observed the black mist nearby.

Not knowing why such a situation was occurring.

The black mist then addressed him.

"Do you desire to possess great power?"

When the black mist didn’t yet appear, its dreadful voice echoed in his ears, making Zhou Lie tremble; but upon actually seeing the mist, he calmed down.

Perhaps all things were like this.

"Of course I desire great power; I wish to become invincible."

In this world, anyone’s desire for power is obvious.

Only by becoming exceedingly strong can one truly become a top-tier existence.

"I can now grant you my powerful strength and restore you, but you’ll have to agree to one condition."

Although Zhou Lie wasn’t clear about the strength of the black mist, he was sure it wasn’t joking about reviving him.

The black mist claimed it could bring him back to life, proving it could indeed accomplish this.

Zhou Lie hesitated slightly instead of agreeing outright.

Yes, the most alluring thing now was regaining his past power, becoming stronger, and becoming an exceptional presence.

"I can agree to your terms, but I hope you understand one principle," Zhou Lie said firmly to the black mist before him.

"You want to negotiate terms with me?"

"Not exactly, as I know I am unqualified to negotiate; I only hope you promise me one thing: after my revival, I must have a great power to defeat Lin Chen."

Even as a ghost, Zhou Lie couldn’t forget nor let go of his hatred for Lin Chen.

"Don’t worry, I am willing to meet your request. After your revival, harming a minor like Lin Chen or ruling the world will not be a problem."

Zhou Lie was unsure whether the person before him was truthful; however, he could assure himself the other possessed great power.

The most important thing for Zhou Lie now was revival and gaining power, indifferent to other concerns.

Matters of fame and fortune, he had long objected to.

"Alright, since you’ve made things clear, I agree to the exchange." There was almost no hesitation, a straightforward acceptance.

"You must think clearly; if you agree to my request, you must totally comply with my intentions and not defy them."

The demonic spirit, Kuangtian, hesitated to instantly enter Zhou Lie’s body, considering this aspect.

Their wills must perfectly merge; otherwise, a disastrous situation would arise.

"Rest assured, I will absolutely fulfill your requirements," Zhou Lie resolutely replied.

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Lie was relieved, seeing this as an excellent arrangement.

"Very well, now that you’ve spoken so clearly, I won’t waste time. I will merge with your body now."

With that, the demon Kuangtian swiftly integrated his black mist with Zhou Lie.

Zhou Lie gradually sensed his limbs and body regaining form, visible to his own eyes.

At first, he thought it was merely his imagination, but later confirmed it was absolute reality.

Indeed, he felt astonished; he had truly been revived.

Zhou Lie now felt his power was immensely strong, remarkably startling.
