Chapter 224: Ghost King Battles the Blood Demons
After hearing Seventh Senior Brother's words, the other three immediately brightened, then nodded vigorously.
At present, they still had some reservations about the Qingyun Sect among the Righteous Path. As for Tianyin Temple of the Buddhist sect and Burning Incense Valley in the Southern Frontier, they were both far away.
However, those four so-called Demonic Sect sects were located on the Central Plains. If they went there and destroyed them, collecting the souls of those powerful experts, they would certainly be able to completely transform the other two junior brothers' Ten Thousand Souls Banners into Hundred Thousand Souls Banners.
At that time, all four of them would possess Nascent Soul Realm strength. On this continent, they would reign invincibly, with nothing left to fear.
Just as the four were preparing to act, the boundless blood clouds in the sky suddenly churned, and waves of dense bloodlust aura came surging from the distance.
After sensing this change, the expressions of all four changed drastically.
Seventh Senior Brother immediately exclaimed,
“Junior Brothers, be careful! A powerful expert is approaching!”
After hearing this, the other three also became solemn. With a flash, they gathered beside Seventh Senior Brother, then stared gravely into the distance.
A moment later, amidst the endless blood clouds, a figure with wings on his back and horns upon his head slowly appeared, dragging behind him a gigantic cauldron that radiated boundless Blood Energy as he rapidly flew toward them.
When the four Nether Spring Sect disciples saw the figure and sensed the aura he emitted, their expressions became extremely grave.
Seventh Senior Brother said,
“Junior Brothers, this person is no ordinary expert. His strength may even surpass ours. We must be careful.”
The other three nodded.
Eighth Senior Brother then hesitantly said,
“How could such a powerful expert exist on this continent? That's impossible.”
After hearing this, Seventh Senior Brother also wore a solemn expression.
They had never expected that such an expert would exist on this continent.
When that person arrived before the four of them, they looked at the appearance of this terrifying expert, their expressions becoming somewhat restrained.
Although the Ghost King still mostly resembled a human, his appearance and the fleshy wings behind his back clearly revealed that he was no ordinary being.
After searching through his memories, Seventh Senior Brother seemed to recall something. His eyes instantly widened as he exclaimed in shock,
“How can this be... An Asura? How could there be an Asura on this continent?”
The other three junior brothers asked in astonishment,
“Seventh Senior Brother, what is an Asura?”
After hearing their question, Seventh Senior Brother immediately explained,
“An Asura is a terrifying demonic creature that dwells within the boundless Sea of Blood.
These creatures are immensely powerful and have appeared on our continent several times in the past.
Every time an Asura appears, it brings boundless slaughter upon the continent. Even cultivators like us would perish!”
After hearing Seventh Senior Brother's explanation, the expressions of the other three changed drastically.
Seventh Senior Brother remained solemn, but after sensing the Ghost King's aura more carefully, he finally relaxed somewhat before saying,
“Junior Brothers, there's no need to worry too much. This Asura has merely inherited a portion of an Asura's legacy. He has not completely transformed into a true Asura.
Although he is powerful, we are not without the strength to fight him.”
Only then did the four nod and breathe a sigh of relief.
Seventh Senior Brother then looked at the Ghost King, a gleam flashing through his eyes before he immediately said to the other three,
“Junior Brothers, if we can kill this Asura and refine his Asura soul into our Ten Thousand Souls Banners,
our Ten Thousand Souls Banners will likely undergo tremendous improvement, bringing enormous benefits to us.
Therefore, there is no need to fear. For us, this is also an enormous opportunity!”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the other three became burning hot as they looked at the Ghost King with unconcealed greed, as though they wished to devour him alive.
Seeing the greedy expressions of the four, the Ghost King's face became ferocious.
He then said coldly,
“You are the Blood Demons who have slaughtered countless living beings beneath the heavens?”
After hearing the Ghost King's icy words, the four paid them no heed and directly nodded.
“If you insist on calling the four of us Blood Demons, then that's fine. That's right—the living beings of this world were slaughtered by us. What, do you intend to avenge them?”
“And who are you?”
After hearing their reply, the Ghost King narrowed his eyes.
After examining the cultivation of the four, he quietly relaxed.
Although the cultivation of these four was extremely formidable, with his current strength, dealing with them would not pose any real problem.
Exactly how powerful had he become now?
Even he himself did not know.
After all, the cultivation technique of the Ghost King Sect could only be cultivated to a level equivalent to the Qingyun Sect's Tai Chi Realm at most. Yet his current strength had already far surpassed that stage.
The Ghost King continued coldly,
“I am the Ghost King of the Ghost King Sect. Are the four of you willing to submit yourselves completely to me?”
Upon hearing the Ghost King's words, the four were slightly startled.
They then looked at him in surprise, never expecting this man to be the Ghost King of the Ghost King Sect, one of the four great sects of the Demonic Sect. (For an exhilarating reading experience, visit!)
Originally, they had assumed that the Ghost King Sect's strength would be mediocre at best, perhaps only comparable to the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm or the Early Golden Core Realm.
However, after meeting the Ghost King in person, they felt an overwhelming pressure from him. This pressure was so immense that even the Sect Master of the Nether Spring Sect had never made them feel as pressured as the Ghost King did now.
Yet the Ghost King did not possess the unique soul pressure characteristic of their Ancestor at the Deity Transformation Realm. His cultivation state was exceedingly strange.
Nevertheless, with the Hundred Thousand Souls Banners assisting them, they were not afraid of the Ghost King.
The power that the Hundred Thousand Souls Banners could unleash was already close to the absolute limit of their current realm. Even if a cultivator from one major realm higher attacked them, they were still somewhat confident they could escape.
Therefore, they felt no concern whatsoever when facing the Ghost King.
After hearing the Ghost King's words, the four sneered.
“A mere native ant like you actually dares to dream of taking us as your subordinates? You're courting death!”
After hearing their reply, the Ghost King's expression turned icy.
“Since you refuse to submit to my Ghost King Sect, then you may all die.”
Without another word, the Ghost King instantly unleashed his aura.
Boundless Blood Energy spread outward, dyeing the entire sky crimson.
The Blood Energy was filled with endless violent intent.
The Ghost King then abruptly waved both hands.
Immediately, an enormous blood sphere appeared before him.
The blood sphere radiated terrifying might and carried an incomparably heavy aura.
The moment it appeared, the void trembled and the earth roared.
Seeing this, the expressions of the four Nether Spring Sect disciples changed slightly.
With a flash, they immediately moved behind their Ten Thousand Souls Banners.
