Chapter 416: Chapter 214: Ghost King’s Yin-Extreme Transformation, Inheriting the Silver Soul Secret Treasure Pagoda

Moreover, the Five Ghosts Soul Lifting Palanquin and the Nine-tailed Ghost King Banner devoured the Fierce Ghosts and Ghostly Souls in massive quantities, already forming the Eighteen Layers of the Ghost Realm.

Countless Ghosts and Evil Ghosts were merely food for these two, how could Zheng Yi be moved in the slightest?

Soon, the Blood Robe Ghost King, at the forefront, wielded the towering Nine-tailed Ghost King Banner and swung it slightly. The massive black banner unfurled in the wind, its long nine tails slicing through the air, producing a deep sound wave, like the ancient roars and growls of ghostly deities, generating a soul-shaking power that rushed swiftly in the direction of the sound.

Bang! Bang!

With sound waves so faint the naked eye could not perceive them, this eerie power quickly broke through spatial constraints, directly confronting the fearsome Ghosts with gnashing teeth and claws.

Soon after, a series of explosive sounds echoed through the passage.

Even an ordinary person could clearly see that those hideous Ghosts dissolved into nothingness amidst the explosions, the black fog rapidly diminishing and fading at a speed visible to the eye.

Tiny strands of black thread scattered in the air, drifting with the wind; these were the essence condensed by the Ghosts, the purest form of Yin Energy.

The Blood Robe Ghost King’s jaw opened wide menacingly, like a maniacal laugh, the black throat reminiscent of a black hole, unleashing a suffocating pull.

A tempestuous airwave, carrying countless drifting black threads, surged towards the gaping maw like a whale sucking in the sea, absorbing everything directly.

The already towering body of the Blood Robe Ghost King quickly absorbed the black threads, with its skin surface shimmering with a dark glow like a wandering dragon, transforming into dense Ghost Talismans, only to disappear immediately.

Its gigantic Ghost King form stood tall, the blood-colored Magic Robe behind it billowing in the wind, as if veiling the heavens and earth, forming a unique blood-colored realm.

Soon, the wave-like assault of Ghosts did not affect it in the slightest; instead, the Blood Robe Ghost King seized the opportunity, using the power of the Nine-tailed Ghost King Banner and the Five Ghosts Soul Lifting Palanquin to strike and transform everything into the purest Ghost Qi Origin, all of which it absorbed directly.

The tall body of the Blood Robe Ghost King did not undergo any significant change; instead, its aura gradually settled, becoming more substantial.

Zheng Yi, seated in the colossal White Bone Palanquin, observed this scene without interference, merely flashing his gaze as if mulling over something.

...

Along the vast void passage, assailed by various terrifying Ghosts, their variety and sheer numbers nearly exceeding all the Ghosts Zheng Yi had encountered over the years.

Some powerful Ghosts barely touched the threshold of the Purple Mansion Stage, the mightiest emperors even within the Ghostly Land.

Yet, under extreme suppression, the Five Ghosts Soul Lifting Palanquin rampaged unopposed.

These Ghosts, without exception, became the departed souls beneath the Five Ghosts Soul Lifting Palanquin, destroyed outright, with their Ghostly essence completely absorbed and devoured by the Blood Robe Ghost King.

The towering Blood Robe Ghost’s form expanded by another third, reaching an astonishing height of fifty feet, achieving a towering, terrifying Ghost Body, whose mere presence emitted a terrifying aura, shocking even Same Tier Cultivators.

Following the Blood Robe Ghost King’s successful evolution, its intrinsic origin transformed; its surging aura repeatedly vibrated from its blue-black skin surface, driving a fierce wind, transforming into dreadful Yin Qi, enveloping a space.

The vibrating Yin Wind vented its overwhelming energy, even forcing the Four Great Ghost Kings trailing it to halt, standing at a greater distance behind the Blood Robe Ghost King.

Clearly, it distinguished ranks, gauging worth.

Even among Ghosts, there were still levels of superiority.

After this evolution, aside from its body growing even more gigantic, the Blood Robe Ghost King’s entire skin turned blue-black, like a moving metallic stream flowing over its surface, appearing as if clad in heavy armor under the blood-red cloak.

Undeniably, post-evolution, the Blood Robe Ghost King grew stronger, wielding the power comparable to a Purple Mansion Cultivator, with the Nine-tailed Ghost King Banner on its shoulders aiding it.

The horror of assembling myriad ghosts with the Ghost King Banner to form a grand formation was such that, unless someone like Master Baoxu, at the peak of Purple Mansion, intervened, other Cultivators of the same realm would find it near impossible to destroy it.

After all, Ghosts are intangible, devoid of physical bodies.

Besides, the Blood Robe Ghost King fashioned its own blood-colored realm, using the Ghost King Banner to conceal itself, already making it exceedingly problematic.

As their master, Zheng Yi naturally noticed this transformation early on, but he didn’t interfere, allowing the Blood Robe Ghost King to proceed.

After all, this entity had followed him for so long, amidst the Chaos Cyan Gourd’s Eighteen Layers of Hell, Ghost Kings emerged continually. It was time for a Purple Mansion Stage Ghost Lord to appear.

He observed everything unfold, intended to assist in the Blood Robe Ghost King’s evolution.

As the Five Ghosts Soul Lifting Palanquin rampaged along, devouring everything in its path, consuming the entirety of the Netherworld Yellow Springs Passage, not even leaving remnants.

This change, perhaps even the Divine Thought Patriarch, who initially set the trial, had not foreseen.

...

Upon completely passing through the Netherworld Yellow Springs Passage, Zheng Yi retracted the Five Ghosts Soul Lifting Palanquin and walked out of the passage alone, only to find just three Cultivators remaining on a platform.
