Chapter 270 111: City of Ghosts, Primal Great Emperor
Innumerable ghostly wails arose. In the sky, ghosts instantly fused together, one after another. An intense light flared, as brilliant as the sun, illuminating the entire city.
As tens of thousands of ghosts merged, several enormous ghosts appeared in the sky.
The auras of the nine enormous, fused ghosts became utterly terrifying.
A powerful psychic pressure washed over them.
When it came to psychic power, the fused ghosts could unleash even greater abilities.
"Kill!"
The nine enormous, fused ghosts roared in unison. Emitting an oppressive radiance, they charged straight for Chen Yu at the center.
"Fusing... Well, this saves me some time."
Watching the nine enormous ghosts charge at him, Chen Yu broke into a brilliant smile. The next second, he instantly unleashed a torrent of Undead Flame.
"ROAR—!"
A deafening dragon's roar echoed through the sky. Under Chen Yu's control, the countless streams of Undead Flame coalesced into an Undead Giant Dragon.
The ghastly flames blazed, distorting the very space around them.
It was as if a true dragon had descended.
"BOOM—!"
With a whip of its tail, the Undead Giant Dragon swept out, blasting one of the enormous fused ghosts to pieces.
His Source of Life rapidly increased!
"ROAR...!"
With another roar, it opened its maw and unleashed a torrent of Undead Flame, instantly incinerating three of the fused ghosts.
At the same time, the fiery Undead Giant Dragon shot into motion, weaving rapidly through the air.
One fused ghost after another collapsed, incinerated by the Undead Flame that now blanketed the sky.
In a mere moment, more than half of the fused ghosts had been annihilated.
"Incredible!"
On the ground, Zhuang Bo gazed at the enormous Undead Giant Dragon in the sky. This method of attack was mythical.
Under Chen Yu's control, it all looked so effortless!
It was a complete rout. He didn't give a single fused ghost the chance to fight back.
It wasn't as if they could fight back. Unable to possess anyone, the fused ghosts only looked intimidating.
At best, they had psychic attacks.
But that was a field in which Chen Yu was even more proficient!
The Skills of the Lord of the Undead were particularly effective against spiritual and soul-based opponents.
They were being completely and utterly crushed!
In the blink of an eye, all nine of the enormous fused ghosts in the sky had been wiped out.
With one last roar, the Undead Giant Dragon dove back into Chen Yu's body.
Amid a flash of light, Chen Yu's figure descended from the sky, returning to his normal form.
"Sir, you're magnificent!"
Zhuang Bo hurried forward, his face filled with reverence.
"Just the basics," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.
He felt incredibly satisfied!
By destroying so many ghosts, his Source of Life had increased enormously.
The Source of Life he'd accumulated had already broken the three-hundred-million mark!
"The South Sea Abyss… it's a real treasure trove!"
Chen Yu was very satisfied.
His haul from the Ninth Abyss had been massive, and the Tenth Abyss was proving to be just as fruitful.
And this was even easier.
His Undead Skills were the perfect counter to these ghostly creatures.
He only needed to use this one set of abilities.
With the countless ghosts destroyed, the humanoid statues lining the streets also crumbled, turning to dust.
Watching this scene, a heavy feeling inexplicably settled over them.
Their guess had to be correct.
The people of this city had all been turned into those ghostly creatures that knew nothing but slaughter.
Turning an entire city's population into these strange statues wasn't the scary part.
But being able to then turn those statues into murderous ghosts... now that was terrifying.
"Sir, have all the ghosts in the city been cleared out?" Zhuang Bo asked, looking at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu gazed at the towering skyscrapers and nodded slightly. "Yes, that should be most of them."
"Still, we should be careful. There might be other dangers hidden here."
Chen Yu added as a warning.
Zhuang Bo nodded.
Then, the two continued toward the city center.
With the countless ghosts dealt with, the city returned to a deathly silence.
A purple glow blanketed the sky. Though the city wasn't shrouded in white mist, it looked even more terrifying than the mist-covered wilderness.
...
A short while later, the two arrived before a strange building in the heart of the city.
A tall, purple Crystal Tower!
It stood a thousand meters tall, making it the highest structure in the entire city!
The purple Crystal Tower stood silently in the center of the city.
Its location was also very abrupt—right in the middle of a street in the city's core.
It was located in the center of an intersection.
It was completely out of place!
The tall, purple Crystal Tower radiated an intense purple glow.
It seemed to be the source of all the purple light.
"Sir, I get the feeling this Crystal Tower just fell from the sky. If it were a local building, its placement would be totally illogical!"
Zhuang Bo said, unable to stop himself as he sized up the purple Crystal Tower before them.
"Do you think this purple Crystal Tower has something to do with the people of this city turning into those statue-ghosts?"
"Let's go inside and find out," Chen Yu said. With that, he walked toward the ground-floor entrance of the tall, purple Crystal Tower.
Seeing this, Zhuang Bo quickly followed.
He felt much safer sticking close to Chen Yu, no matter what might happen.
He felt a great sense of security!
Walking into the ground floor of the purple Crystal Tower, they found it completely empty. Chen Yu looked up. The Crystal Tower rose layer after layer, at least several hundred stories high.
Far above, the purple light bloomed, creating a hazy blur that obscured any details.
A spiral staircase led directly upward, and in a corner of the ground floor, there was a crystal elevator.
After exchanging a glance, they decided against the elevator and stepped onto the staircase, beginning their ascent.
