Chapter 483: The Terrifying Creature Beneath the Eight Trigrams Tower! Unlucky Demon! Endless Ghostly Lies!
The Phantom in the Eight Trigrams Tower was an accidental product of this mysterious space, akin to a spirit of an artifact suddenly gaining sentience.
At this moment, the entire Liu ancestral hall suddenly shook. A hulking, ugly monster with disheveled hair crawled out from the ground, and blood-red runes flickered across its body, covering the sky. The blood moon hung high above, and a streak of crimson light fell upon this disheveled monster.
The monster, enveloped in the tainted blood, emitted hissing sounds. Yet, these things caused it no harm; instead, they encased it, forming a colossal giant!
By now, the previously expressionless men, women, and children had all vanished. Only a single massive ghost remained in place. Earlier, the Phantom had lost its suppression over this ancient, powerful formation.
As a result, the vengeful men, women, and children were unable to restrain the wide-mouthed ghost. One by one, they were devoured, and the ghost’s aura had now grown extremely powerful!
At this moment, there were two powerful ghostly presences within the Liu ancestral hall. Had there only been one, it would have surely attacked Li Yanchu.
The massive ghost had originally been growing by devouring other ghosts. Once it had consumed them all and could no longer sense the Phantom’s presence, its target would naturally become the young Daoist bathed in golden light. By the same logic, the disheveled, ugly monster, now wrapped in a blood cocoon, would, upon emerging, immediately attack the nearest target, Li Yanchu.
At this time, Li Yanchu’s internal magical power had already been heavily drained. It was very possible that he would not be a match for this ghostly creature.
Even if he were at the peak of Yin Spirit, after consecutive battles, without medicinal replenishment and lacking the endurance of his martial-body form, the cost of using his divine techniques was staggering.
Strictly speaking, Li Yanchu was at a disadvantage. Of course, he still possessed the Deity Summoning Art, which could keep him safe. But using it recklessly would drain all of his internal magical power. If another bizarre entity emerged within the Liu ancestral hall at that moment, the group would face total annihilation.
Thus, he had to be cautious in using the Deity Summoning Art. After all, no one could be certain that simply flattening the Liu ancestral hall and defeating the ghosts would allow them to leave this place completely.
Previously, he had thought that destroying the Eight Trigrams Tower would let him leave the mysterious town. But now, it seemed the depths of this town were far greater than he had imagined.
