I Can Travel between Two Worlds

"Cough, cough, this nail is indeed somewhat painful!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and slowly stood up straight.

Squinting his eyes, he looked towards the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster several hundred zhang away.

This Core Formation Old Monster who has dominated Qing State for centuries is indeed not someone renowned without reason, probably considered top-notch among Golden Core Cultivators.

Ghost-Eyed Old Monster saw the death of two Cyan-faced Evil Ghosts, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Ancient Body Cultivator... Flesh Body Nine Revolutions Core Formation?"

Ghost-Eyed Old Monster squinted, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

But then, he sneered contemptuously.

"Hehe... lucky this time, an Ancient Body Cultivator with Nine Revolutions Golden Core... if sent to Puppet Hall, perhaps a Half-Step Nascent Soul puppet could be crafted!"

Thinking of this, Ghost-Eyed Old Monster licked his lips, greed growing in his eyes.

If it were an average cultivator, encountering such a high-level body cultivator might not even guarantee a win.

But he was a Ghost Cultivator!

Specializing in Divine Soul cultivation!

And the Divine Soul of a body cultivator was precisely... very weak!

Therefore, Ghost Cultivators were the most effective against them!

After suffering from the Soul-Loss Nail, Lin Chen became more vigilant, constantly keeping an eye on the Nail Swamp Evil Ghost in the distance.

While Lin Chen was pondering how to counter, he suddenly received a voice transmission.

"Brother Xu, this Ghost Cultivator’s soul attacks are sinister... I can summon Celestial Thunder to cleanse your Divine Soul, relieving the pain brought by that Soul-Loss Nail..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s heart was slightly moved, realizing it was Li Tianhan who was healing in the distance transmitting his voice.

His Demon-Suppressing Celestial Thunder Body was highly effective against such ghost cultivation techniques.

Just as Lin Chen was about to respond, two more voices reached his ears.

"Master!"

"Master!"

The first call of ’Master’ was from the Celestial Derivation Pearl.

The second call, however, was from the Jade Ghost that had been dormant for a long time!

"Speak quickly if there’s something..." Lin Chen said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Celestial Derivation Pearl quickly replied:

"Master, I can use the protection technique to safeguard your Divine Soul... That Nail Swamp Evil Ghost is an extremely rare being among the ghosts driven by Ghost Cultivators."

"Its unique Ultimate Technique, Soul-Loss Nail, can bypass True Essence, and directly smash the Divine Soul... Without any soul technique, it’s very easy to get hurt!"

"But my Celestial Derivation Spiritual Light can precisely block this Soul-Loss Nail’s attack."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen felt a slight joy in his heart but still asked:

"Then why didn’t you take action earlier?"

"I... I didn’t react in time..." Celestial Derivation Pearl said somewhat aggrievedly.

Hearing this, Lin Chen was speechless; this Spiritual Treasure was truly unreliable!

At such a critical moment, it didn’t react!

If Lin Chen hadn’t practiced the Celestial Derivation Technique, he might have been in serious trouble this time.

"To deal with such Ghost Cultivators, it seems necessary to learn one or two Divine Sense Secret Techniques..."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

The Celestial Derivation Technique he practiced only had the effect of strengthening the Divine Soul.

Only strengthening, yet without soul secret techniques, it’s like a cultivator with robust True Essence Magical Power but unaware of any divine techniques.

In a confrontation, it would suffer great losses!

And soul secret techniques are extremely rare, divided into offensive and defensive types.

A powerful Divine Sense attack and destruction technique can even directly smash the enemy’s Divine Soul, annihilating foes invisibly.

Yet Lin Chen’s cultivation duration was short, and he hadn’t encountered such enemies before and indeed suffered considerable losses.

"It seems that after this, I need to quickly learn a Divine Sense Secret Technique..." Lin Chen thought inwardly.

Meanwhile, Jade Ghost also flattered:

"Master, these delicious nutrients... could you spare some for me?"

"What nutrients?" Lin Chen laughed in anger, with such a formidable enemy before him, the Jade Ghost still wanted benefits?

Jade Ghost sensed Lin Chen’s displeased tone and quickly explained:

"Master, it’s the Divine Soul of this Nail Swamp Evil Ghost... Its Soul-Loss Nail is refined using its own Divine Soul. Though embedded in the master’s body, it must be retrieved later..."

"Now that the residual soul hasn’t dispersed, I suppose the master feels quite painful."

"And I, Jade Ghost, born of nature, am best at plundering residual souls... This Core Formation Stage Evil Ghost’s residual soul is vastly useful to me!"

After a pause, Jade Ghost continued:

"As long as you let me devour the residual soul, the master won’t feel soul pain anymore..."

Feeling slightly moved by the words, Lin Chen nodded and said:

"Alright, give it a try."

Jade Ghost rejoiced upon hearing this, then a mass of jade-colored mist was seen clinging to Lin Chen’s skin.

The mist quickly guided out a dozen residual souls and directly swallowed them.

As Jade Ghost devoured the residual soul, a small belch was heard, leaving a bit of an unsatisfied expression.

In the distance, the Nail Swamp Evil Ghost suddenly screamed in misery.

"Ah!"

Its body shook more violently, clearly suffering severe soul damage.

And after the Soul-Loss Nail was removed, Lin Chen felt the pain in his Divine Soul gradually dissipate, soon returning to normal.

Seeing this, Lin Chen felt a slight joy in his heart.

"It’s indeed useful!"

Subsequently, Lin Chen grasped the Demon-slaying Blade, looked towards Ghost-eyed Child from afar, and sneered:

"I really underestimated you... Now, it’s my turn!"

"Celestial Derivation Pearl!"

"Yes, Master..."

An invisible spiritual light covered the surface of Lin Chen’s skin, and he instantly felt refreshed.

"So this is the Celestial Derivation Spiritual Light? It’s quite good..."

"Until I master a soul secret technique, I’ll rely on this spiritual light for protection!"

Lin Chen wielded the Black Blade, charging towards the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster.

And when Ghost-Eyed Old Monster saw that Lin Chen’s Divine Soul was hit by the Soul-Loss Nail yet still vibrant, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Quickly, continue! Use the Soul-Loss Nail!"

Ghost-Eyed Old Monster felt a bit panicked, he was simultaneously controlling the Nail Swamp Evil Ghost and summoned more Evil Ghosts for assistance.

Only to see him take out an ugly long banner.

This banner was crafted from human skin, and its pole was made from human bone.

"Life and Soul Contract, Nether Ghost Command!"

"Night Parade of Hundred Demons, heed my command!"

As Ghost-eyed Child cast the spell, numerous black mist appeared on the Ghost Banner.
