The Heaven-shattering: Starting from Simulating Becoming an Emperor

Chapter 126: Ghost Emperor Resurrection
"I don't know the details. Maybe Lord Tianzun has other arrangements."

The remnant soul said vaguely.

Now that things have come to this, he has no intention of delving into the true purpose of the spiritual treasure. His life is about to end, and there is no need to know so much.

"I have said all that needs to be said. I believe you know that my remaining soul can only hold on for so long. Let's say goodbye now."

"I will use the Lingbao Sutra to save you and send you to the afterlife."

Zhang Huansong recited the scriptures and told him that if there was an afterlife, he should remember not to be so wasteful.

Wrapped in the graceful golden light, the consciousness of the remnant soul gradually became blurred, and its body disappeared and was purified between heaven and earth, no longer having anything to do with the weirdness.

"Tell me, is there really reincarnation in this world? If there is a next life, will I still be myself?"

At the end of his life, the remnant soul could not help but ask, although he was dead and was about to disappear, he still had many worries in his heart that he could not let go.

As a great sage, he failed to live a brilliant life. Instead, he became weird very early on. He could only pin his hopes on the illusory reincarnation, hoping to be reborn and live another life.

“Reincarnation has always existed, it’s just a matter of whether you believe it or not.”

Zhang Huan assured the remnant soul that his true spirit might reappear one day in the future and enter a cycle of reincarnation, where he might live a more regret-free life in the next life.

"Really? Then I feel relieved."

The remaining soul dissipated little by little, with a smile of relief when it died. It could be said that it was the greatest comfort for the dead, or it was really stating the truth. In any case, he believed it and left with longing.

"There is a way to reincarnate, but it's a pity."

Zhang Huan only said half of what he meant in his mind. In fact, this world has not yet established a complete system of the six realms of reincarnation, so reincarnation is out of the question now. If no one saves him after his death, it is basically equivalent to eternal silence.

However, what Zhang Huan said was not empty talk. After countless years, when he reaches the supreme peak in the future and has the power to control all the heavens with one thought, he will reflect the former master of covering the sky and dig out a true path of reincarnation.

Although that stage is still far away from him now and requires a long time of practice, he is confident that he can do it eventually.

After taking away the two gifts from the other party, Zhang Huan also took away the strange corpse of the Great Sage that did not disappear with him.

This is a considerable resource for cultivation. The Great Sage-level corpse pill can definitely help Zhang Huan to reach a higher level of strength.

Zhang Huan did not delve further into the topic related to the Ghost King. Now it was more important to escape from the realm of ghosts and gods. Ling Bao must have his reasons for doing this.

Besides, the information he has is incomplete, so he can only grope in the dark and cannot infer the truth. It is better not to guess. The Ghost Emperor will know the truth on the day he breaks the seal.

[The strange remaining soul disappears, you regroup and set out again, returning to the five-colored altar at the starting point.]

[This time you did not continue to exorcise ghosts, nor did you fight for the ghost and god domain. Instead, you regrouped on the spot and accumulated strength in the starting place.]

[After knowing that the strange would stop at nothing to kill the monks who might obtain the ghost realm, you gave up the idea of ​​killing your way through the Great Saint level strange area. You looked at Duan De who had already obtained nearly 100,000 points on the leaderboard, and you silently mourned for him for a second.]

[This time at the Great Saint-level strange point, the spoils you obtained included two strange corpses of Saint Kings and a complete corpse of a Great Saint. It was a great harvest. With these three corpses, you are sure that you can quickly break through several realms and lay a solid foundation for becoming a Saint.]

[After a day of refining, the three strange corpses were all refined into corpse pills. You first swallowed the Great Saint Corpse Pill, and your realm soared all the way to the ninth level of the Way of Slashing in a short period of time. The energy seemed to explode in your body, endless, and still overflowing from the corpse pills. In comparison, the energy you absorbed was simply insignificant. I'm afraid it will take several days to absorb it completely.]

[Next, your realm will be forcibly raised by the accumulated energy, reaching the great perfection of the Way of Slaying, and there is hope that you can break through the realm of the saint, and the barriers of the saint realm are constantly being washed away. ]

[But your Saint Barrier seems to be too strong. Even after being washed many times, you still cannot break into the Saint Realm. This is a great proof of your strong foundation, but it also prevents you from possessing the power of a Saint for the time being.]

[As time goes by, the Saint Barrier can be felt to be gradually weakening, but you have not attacked it again, and most of the medicinal power has been transformed into your foundation, consolidating your foundation, causing your body and soul to transform several times, becoming even stronger.]

"It's definitely enough for other people, but for someone like me, a Great Saint Corpse Pill can only go so far. I can't be promoted to a Saint perfectly yet. Washing it further will only be a waste of medicinal power."

"If I had a few more Great Saint-level weird corpse pills, I wouldn't have to force myself to be promoted to a Saint. I could polish my foundation and realm to perfection, and then I could be promoted without damaging my foundation."

Zhang Huan had originally planned to do so, to hunt down a few great sage-level monsters and turn them all into his foundation so that he would not damage his foundation in his rapid advancement.

On the path of cultivation, foundation is the most important. The more prosperous you are, the more powerful you can be in the same realm, and your future achievements will be more extraordinary.

If one's foundation is not strong enough, forcing oneself to advance all at once will not only make one weaker, but will also overdraw one's potential.

[You resisted the chance to be promoted directly to Saint, and did not penetrate the Saint Realm Barrier. You naturally took another half step with your own spirit and energy, and stopped at becoming a Half Saint, consolidating your own strength.]

[Breaking through the semi-saint realm, you also possess the realm of a saint, but it is not complete. Your life level has also been sublimated by half a step, which is a world of difference from a king. Now, you can kill a strong man at the peak of the saint level without any suspense.]

[You started practicing like this in the initial place, and later swallowed two Saint King Corpse Pills. Their energy is several levels lower than that of the Great Saint level. They can only be regarded as icing on the cake, and they have also been transformed into your foundation. ]

[You will have such a foundation when you are a semi-saint. If you truly set foot on the path to becoming a saint, your realm will rise as fiercely as a volcanic eruption after accumulating a lot. You may be able to save decades of hard training and directly rise to the late stage of sainthood in one step.]

[Time flies, three months have passed in a flash, and you have become very proficient in the semi-saint realm. Looking at the rankings, Duan De has almost gone crazy in killing, accumulating more than 600,000 points, and has eliminated more than 60 great saint-level monsters. I'm afraid he has been exorcising ghosts day and night during this period.]

"Three months have passed. I wonder if there are any survivors besides Duan De. Duan De's points are getting higher and higher. So many weird things have disappeared from the Great Saint-level weird area. It can't be covered up no matter what. It will soon arouse the vigilance of the weird things."

By then, not only will the weirdness make a huge fuss, it will also kill people extremely violently. Every living creature in the Ghost and God Realm will be easily implicated and killed. The weirdness would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let a single one go, so the control of the Ghost and God Realm is of vital importance.

[It may not be safe to stay at this starting point. You chose a place at the outermost and weakest saint-level weirdness, teleported there, and prepared to disguise yourself as a weirdness to avoid this disaster.] [After landing on the five-color altar, you burst out with saintly pressure without saying a word, suppressing the little weirdness so that it could not raise its head. Then you transformed into thousands of bodies and saved them at the same time. Your main body found the ghost king, raised your hand and beat him to almost ashes, and saved him with the divine skill.]

[You have occupied this strange place of saint level, using the Heavenly Art to disguise the origin and the Source Art to disguise the aura, making it no different from the strange place. Just wait and see what happens here.]

Duan De was still killing people outside, unaware that danger had already arrived. In the strange thick fog in the center, several pairs of scarlet eyes were already staring at him.

A few days later, a roar that resounded through the heavens and earth came from the center of the Ghost and God Realm. Even Zhang Huan, who was at the outermost edge, could hear it clearly, and his blood surged in his body.

"Ow~"

The incessant roar like that of an evil spirit startled all the weird beings and made them all look towards the center of the ghost realm. This was made by the Ghost King who was sealed in the center, as if he was calling out or delivering some message.

Not only that, it even emitted a ray of imperial pressure, which condensed in the sky and turned into a hanging eye in the sky, emitting green ghostly aura, opening its animal-colored pupils and looking around.

The aura emanating from his pupils was a billion times stronger than that of the Great Sage, causing the entire Ghost and God Realm to tremble. Green ghost energy swept across all areas, submerging all the original five-colored altars. The Ghost and God Realm instantly turned into a withered green dead land.

"The Ghost Emperor is actually able to take action himself. Has the seal become so powerless? It looks like it wants to kill us all."

The green ghost energy carries a trace of the imperial law. It is difficult for anyone other than a quasi-emperor to survive. Fortunately, Zhang Huan was prepared in advance and escaped the Ghost Emperor's means. Otherwise, if he still stayed at the starting point, he would have been corroded by the ghost energy. Even if he used the quasi-emperor soldiers, he could not escape the Ghost Emperor's surveillance.

Suddenly, the pupil in the sky shot out six green streams of light, which seemed real and unreal, like talisman paper, quickly passing through the sky and earth and flying to different areas. Five of them sank into the green ghostly energy, and one seemed to fly to a strange area of ​​the Great Sage level.

This one was definitely aimed at Duan De. Only Duan De was still in the strange area of ​​the Great Sage at this time, exorcising ghosts day and night.

The remaining five. That means there are a total of seven people alive in this group, which is much better than Zhang Huan expected. The remaining people are those who have seen through the strangely arranged trap and insisted on waiting for a chance.

Five green streams of light fell into different places, not to execute them directly, but more like to mark them. After all, Lingbao's formation was not for decoration, and daring to attack would trigger extremely troublesome restrictions.

After doing all this, the Ghost King's Heavenly Eye gradually closed and disappeared.

In Zhang Huan's eyes, one of the green lights appeared very close to him. It would be better to say that it came from the passage of the five-colored altar.

"The Ghost King didn't find me. This mark wasn't coming for me. It was chasing after the Saint of Taihao Holy Land? She's not dead either?"

Zhang Huan was surprised. As the only two weaker people who entered the ghost and god realm with Zhang Huan, she actually survived and did not move rashly. She should have stayed at the starting point and was then driven here by the green mist.

As soon as the saint landed on the ground, she was caught up by the green light and marked. Her eyes changed strangely in an instant, with a look of aggression and loyalty all over her face, as if she was ready to sacrifice herself heroically.

It seemed like they were being controlled by someone. Zhang Huan used his spiritual power to observe the Ghost King's mind and found that the Ghost King had already forced them to kill all the marked people at all costs.

Zhang Huan used the Soul-Saving Technique to control them in turn, eliminated the influence of the Ghost King, and set a lock on their consciousness to prevent their true identity from being leaked.

Faced with the strange and dumbfounded scene, the saint felt strange but did not show mercy. She stared suddenly and burst out with the pressure of a saint, and shattered all the weirdness with a snap of her fingers. The ghost king who was on standby outside was nearly killed on the spot.

"The complete and powerful aura of a saint, she is undoubtedly a saint, but I remember from the introduction of Taihao Holy Land, she should be only ten years old."

Zhang Huan was surprised and doubtful, could it be that this saint lady was also a genius of extraordinary talent?
Zhang Huan quickly revealed his presence and walked out, asking her to stop. If she continued fighting like this, all the monsters here would be killed by her, so how could she continue to disguise herself?

When meeting an acquaintance, the saint flew over in a hurry and said frankly that she followed in because she saw someone was trying to conquer this strange place. Unexpectedly, it was not the shop owner, but Zhang Huan, who had the weakest strength.

After being told this, Zhang Huan actually wanted to ask back, how could she, an apparently second-level immortal, suddenly become a saint? She must have hidden it very well.

Zhang Huan used the source technique to erase the mark on her body, ensuring that she would never be sensed by the Ghost King again, and took him into a breath-concealing formation that he had already set up.

"Son, have you seen the owner? Is he still..."

As soon as the saint came in, she couldn't wait to ask questions.

Zhang Huan shook his head. Even if he had seen it, what difference would it make? The poisonous gas exhaled by the Ghost King had completely submerged the original place, turning it green. Now, except for the thirty-third area which was protected by the formation, any other place was no longer safe.

If the Saint with the Mustache was not dead and still wanted to survive, he could only go to the strange area like them and seek a moment of peace.

"You have served as the Saintess of Taihao Holy Land for more than ten years. Could you possibly have contacted the Extreme Emperor Soldier? If we have the protection of the Emperor Soldier, we and the shop owner can escape immediately. Otherwise, we can only survive in danger. No one's life or death can be guaranteed."

Zhang Huan said to her.

"This could have been used to connect with the Imperial Army, but my secret techniques are ineffective here, and I can't communicate with the outside world."

[After listening to this, you will know that this is most likely the work of the underworld, which has completely sealed off the ghost and god realm.]

"A great change is coming, and the Ghost Emperor is about to escape. We must unite to seek a chance of survival. Since you can't contact the Extreme Emperor Soldier, do you have any forbidden weapons or other items that can unleash the power of the Extreme?"

She shrugged, indicating that there was no such thing. She could usually call upon the imperial soldiers and had never encountered any danger, so naturally she did not have any forbidden weapons on her.

Zhang Huan summoned the Qingmu Seal. This quasi-imperial weapon was the highest combat power they could unleash at the moment. However, energy was a problem. An explosion could drain the saint's energy. Zhang Huan asked the saint to take charge. He provided the quasi-imperial weapon and the saint provided the resources, and they allocated them reasonably.

A few days later, a newcomer came to the Ghost and God Realm. He was a quasi-emperor from the underworld. The presence of the Lord of the Underworld in person made Zhang Huan feel a great crisis.
