I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

"With my soul, I offer myself as a sacrifice to the underworld! I humbly request... the judgment of the netherworld!"

As the eerie young man finished speaking, the pitch-black altar trembled violently!

At the top of the altar, a single, tightly closed eye, seemingly formed from the purest darkness, slowly opened!

laugh!

A terrifying beam of light, as black as ink and as thin as a hair, yet seemingly capable of piercing through the three realms and six paths and annihilating the vitality of all things, burst forth from that single eye, its target aimed directly at Chu Feng's brow!

The moment that black beam of light appeared, the hairs on Chu Feng's body stood on end!

An unprecedented, deadly sense of crisis, enough to threaten his life, instantly enveloped his entire body!

Without hesitation, he placed the Coffin of Burial in front of him, attempting to block it!

However, the black beam of light completely ignored the physical form of the Burial Coffin, pierced through the blood-red coffin body without any hindrance, and continued to shoot towards his brow!

This is a deadly strike specifically designed to target the soul!

"Damn it, I'll risk it!"

A crazed, ruthless glint flashed in Chu Feng's eyes.

With a thought, the Emperor Seal between his brows shone brightly!

"roar--!"

A mighty dragon roar resounded throughout heaven and earth!

A golden dragon, formed from the purest imperial dragon energy, roared out from between his brows, opened its mouth, and actively faced the dark beam of destruction!

Chi Chi Chi -!

There were no earth-shattering explosions.

Yes, but it's just a tooth-grinding, corrosive sound.

The Imperial Dragon Qi and the Netherworld Death Qi, two completely opposite extreme forces, clashed and annihilated each other in mid-air in the most primitive and savage way!

The golden dragon scales quickly became dull and decayed under the erosion of the black light.

The indestructible black beam of light, under the erosion of the imperial dragon energy, rapidly thinned at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, after a stalemate of more than a dozen breaths.

The golden dragon let out a mournful cry of resentment, then exploded and shattered into specks of golden light, dissipating into the world.

The black beam of light, now reduced to a faint wisp, pierced fiercely into Chu Feng's brow!

"puff!"

Chu Feng was severely injured. His sea of ​​consciousness trembled violently, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood. He fell from mid-air, and his face turned ashen white instantly.

Meanwhile, the strange young man who had sacrificed his own soul was in an even more miserable situation.

His body, like a weathered statue, was cracking inch by inch, turning into dust and ashes. In his purple eyes, the light of life was rapidly fading away.

However, when he saw that Chu Feng was also seriously injured and swaying precariously, a hideous and gleeful smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha...cough cough...it's worth it to drag a monster like you down with me..."

Before his laughter subsided, his entire body turned to ashes, his form and spirit utterly destroyed.

And so, this earth-shattering battle came to an end in a way that left both sides severely injured.

However, at that moment...

"Hehehe..."

A chilling, hoarse laugh, seemingly emanating from the deepest hell, suddenly rang out in the room without warning.

Chu Feng felt a sudden alarm bell ring in his mind and abruptly looked up.

Not far away in the void, a figure draped in a black robe and wearing a bronze ghost mask had quietly appeared.

It was the Ghost Shadow Tower Master who had previously escaped from his clutches!

However, he seemed somewhat different now compared to before.

The eyes that pierced through the holes in the mask were no longer filled with the coldness and apprehension of before, but with an indifference that looked down upon all living beings, as if Chu Feng was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will.

"So it was you who swallowed the Soul Refining Banner I crafted?"

That hoarse voice, carrying an ancient majesty, slowly rose into the air.

Chu Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.

"You are... the Ghost King?!"

"Oh?" A hint of surprise seemed to flash in the eyes beneath the mask. "I didn't expect that someone in this small lower realm would be able to recognize my origins."

He no longer concealed it, and a vast, majestic, and terrifying pressure filled with endless death and the mysteries of reincarnation suddenly erupted from his body!

Faced with this oppressive force, the so-called "ghostly aura" of the strange youth was like a stream meeting the ocean—they were simply not on the same level!

"That's right, I am the Ghost King!"

He admitted it!

"This guy... he actually didn't die! Moreover, he even possessed the body of the Ghost Shadow Tower Master!" Lei Zhu's voice was filled with shock.

"No!" The Medicine King's voice followed, tinged with seriousness. "Although his aura is powerful, his soul's essence is incomplete. It shouldn't be a complete possession; it's more like... a remnant soul residing within!"

"Even if it's just a remnant soul, it's far beyond what we can contend with now!" The demoness's voice carried an unprecedented seriousness for the first time.

The Ghost King's indifferent eyes scrutinized the heavily injured Chu Feng with great interest, as if he were admiring a perfect work of art.

"Such vigorous energy and blood, such a resilient body..."

He stuck out his scarlet tongue, licked the corner of his mouth, and his eyes blazed with an intense, burning greed.

"I am very satisfied with this physical form of yours. From this day forward, it shall be my divine body upon my return to the mortal realm!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the Ghost King moved.

Without making any unnecessary movements, he transformed into an elusive wisp of black smoke, ignoring the distance in space, and charged directly towards Chu Feng's brow!

He was actually going to use the same old trick as the Dao Alliance Ancestor had done before, directly seizing the body!

However, how could Chu Feng let him succeed?

"roll!"

Chu Feng roared, and with a thought, the blood-red ancient coffin that had long since merged with him instantly appeared on his chest!

Om-!

The coffin lid slid open, revealing a bottomless, blood-red vortex, like the gaping maw of hell, which aimed at the black smoke and unleashed an unparalleled devouring power!

"Um?!"

The plume of black smoke suddenly paused in mid-air, revealing the Ghost King's bewildered and uncertain figure.

He stared intently at the blood-red ancient coffin that exuded an ominous aura, and for the first time, his voice beneath the mask carried a hint of shock.

"This is... the legendary Coffin of Burial of Heaven, which supposedly buried all the gods and demons?!"

"How could you possibly possess such a thing!"

After a brief moment of shock, the look in the Ghost King's eyes was instantly replaced by endless greed and fanaticism!

"Hahaha! Heaven is helping me! It really is heaven helping me!"

He burst into maniacal laughter, as if possessed.

"With this coffin, how could I not regain my peak strength? Then, returning to the Underworld and reclaiming everything that belongs to me will be just around the corner!"

He could no longer suppress his greed and roared!

"All ghosts, heed my command! Sacrifice your blood to the living!"

With a flick of his right hand, a pitch-black banner, many times more terrifying than the previous imitation, appeared in his hand!

On the banner, there were no longer distorted ghostly figures, but clear faces filled with endless pain and resentment!

Each of those faces once belonged to a powerful figure renowned throughout the land!

This is the true, Ghost King's natal magic weapon—the Soul Refining Banner!

With a flick of the banner, the entire world was instantly pulled into an endless, blood-red ghost realm!

When the true Soul Refining Banner is unleashed, the world changes color.

It was no longer just ghostly energy, but a more primal and pure manifestation of the laws of death and reincarnation.

The entire Dao Alliance Immortal Mountain, along with the surrounding hundred miles, was instantly plunged into a blood-red world. The sky was dark red, thick rivers of blood flowed across the land, and the air was filled with a stench and resentment strong enough to rot even the soul.

Countless powerful souls, exuding a terrifying aura, broke free from the banner. They were no longer the dazed and confused ghosts, but battle souls that retained some of their fighting instincts from their previous lives!

"roar!"

Tens of thousands of battle spirits formed an invincible army of the dead. Under the command of the Ghost King, they roared and howled as they charged madly toward Chu Feng!

That earth-shattering power was enough to make any Shattered Realm or even Dharma Aspect Realm expert despair!

"Kid, go for it!"

The Thunder Lord roared, no longer holding back.

"Today, either he dies, or we perish!"

The voices of the three—the Demoness, the Medicine King, and Feng You—sounded simultaneously, filled with resolute determination.
