Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

The Skeleton King of Skull Mountain attained enlightenment through bones, reaching the pinnacle of the Bone Dao, and his overall strength is comparable to a first-grade terrestrial immortal among martial artists.

The White Bone Path cultivators are more terrifying than first-grade terrestrial immortals in some ways, and inferior to first-grade terrestrial immortals in others.

In any case, his overall strength is definitely that of a first-grade terrestrial immortal.

Otherwise, Skull Mountain wouldn't be worthy of being called a first-rate power!

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is a gathering place for poison cultivators. They cultivate all kinds of poisons, refine poisonous energy, and condense poisonous bodies. The sect leader, Wen Renxuan, has mastered the art of poison, and even a first-grade terrestrial immortal could be poisoned to death.

The Gu King Sect is a gathering place for Gu cultivators. They cultivate their own Gu and raise peerless exotic Gu, each with its own unique uses. The sect leader, Fang Ming, is a master of Gu techniques.

The Black Witch Sect is a gathering place for witch practitioners who cultivate incantations and practice witchcraft. Their methods are unpredictable and difficult to guard against. The sect leader, Li Hannian, possesses secret witchcraft techniques and can kill people without them even realizing it!

Those who have managed to gain a foothold and make a name for themselves in the most brutal and chaotic hellish region of the Southern Frontier are no easy feats.

The reason these three factions obeyed the Skeleton King was not because the Skeleton King was strong enough to overwhelm their combined strength, nor because the Skeleton King's strength far surpassed theirs.

Rather, it's because the Skeleton King is naturally a counter to them, and the methods of the three families are completely ineffective against him.

That is why the three families had no choice but to submit to the Skeleton King!

However, neither the Skeleton King nor the cultivators from the other three families could effectively counter the ghost cultivators.

Especially the master of Ghost Mountain, the Ghost Immortal Pei Zhenzhu!

Ghost cultivators are formless and shapeless, existing between the real and the unreal. Neither poison, gu, nor witchcraft have much binding force on them.

That is precisely why these four forces are even more reluctant to see Ghost Mountain rise.

Previously, ghost cultivators in other places and even in the underworld were insignificant, but now that's no longer the case. Pei Zhenzhu's appearance has undoubtedly raised the upper limit of ghost immortals.

Moreover, she is not only a ghost immortal, but also a sorcerer. With the two cultivation systems combined, it is only a matter of time before she dominates the underworld.

"Lord of Ghost Mountain, come out and face your death!"

The Skeleton King's body was covered in dark golden bones, as if forged from divine metal. There was no flesh or blood on his body; his entire body was covered in bone armor.

He held a golden spear, and red hellfire burned in the eye sockets of his golden skull.

His hellfire is quite special; it is the fire of the soul, capable of reviving the dead, restoring flesh to bones, and also scorching the primordial spirit.

The Five Elements Alliance's Flame Emperor once asked him for a spark to perfect his own Path of Ten Thousand Flames!

"Ah, it's the Skeleton King!"

"You're just a skeleton in a tomb, why don't you rest peacefully in your coffin on Skull Mountain and enjoy your old age? Instead, you come to my Ghost Mountain to stir up trouble. Do you think you've lived enough and want to die?"

Pei Zhenzhu was dressed in a bright red palace gown, her skirt swaying as red silk fluttered everywhere.

Her aura grew stronger and stronger. She stepped into the void and condensed an array with a single thought, instantly enveloping the entire Ghost God Mountain.

"You sharp-tongued little girl, I will imprison your soul and make you my slave forever!"

"It just so happens that all the ghost cultivators from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks have gathered here. Today, we will destroy your Ghost God Mountain, and from now on, there will be no place for ghost cultivators to hide in this world!"

The Skeleton King's upper and lower jaws clicked, and although he had no tongue, his voice echoed throughout the entire Ghost Mountain.

"Arrogant!"

"Today you'll find yourself unable to leave!"

"Set up the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring the Sun, the Taiyin Refining Spirit Grand Array!"

"If you have the guts, then come and challenge us!"

With a thought, Pei Zhenzhu summoned 360 command flags, and behind her, thousands of ghost cultivators took the flags to guard the area.

A large array, filled with eerie yin energy yet flowing with pure yin power, began to operate rapidly, instantly blotting out the sky and obscuring the sun and moon.

"So what if we charge into the enemy lines?"

"I refuse to believe that your little formation can turn the world upside down!"

"Fellow Daoists, the four of us will each lead our powerful subordinates to surround the four sides and break the formation together. Today, we will surely wipe out these wandering ghosts!"

The Skeleton King, holding a golden spear, addressed the three people beside him: Wen Renxuan, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect; Fang Ming, the leader of the Gu King Sect; and Li Hannian, the leader of the Black Witch Sect.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will certainly not fail in our mission!"

The three leaders of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Wen Renxuan, the Gu King Sect, Fang Ming, and the Black Witch Sect, Li Hannian, clasped their hands in a fist and bowed, saying in unison.

The four men led their elite troops up the mountain from all four directions.

Above, clusters of black mist swept across the sky, representing powerful ghost cultivators attacking with the aid of the grand formation.

The disciples and elders of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect all activated their poison techniques, and red, black, green, and other multicolored gases emerged one after another, quickly enveloping the surrounding area.

Even powerful ghost cultivators, whose bodies exist between the real and the illusory, were tainted by this terrifying toxin, becoming increasingly ethereal.

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Ming, the sect leader of the Gu King Sect, unleashed countless golden Gu worms that swarmed towards the group of ghost cultivators.

"Aaaaaah!"

"What kind of Gu worm is this? It can even devour the bodies of us ghost cultivators?"

The group of ghost cultivators screamed in agony.

"My painstaking research has finally paid off; this Golden Armor Gu has acquired the natural ability to restrain ghost cultivators!"

"Once this Ghost God Mountain is destroyed, I will secretly begin cultivating Gu worms that can restrain the cultivators of the White Bone Path."

"If this works, then that damned skull is doomed!"

"I, Fang Ming, hate it most when others point fingers at me. Just wait, one day, Gu cultivation will become the mainstream cultivation method in the Earth Immortal Realm."

"At that time, the entire Immortal Realm should be renamed the Gu Realm!"

Fang Ming, the sect leader of the Gu King Sect, looked at the group of ghost cultivators screaming in agony in the sky and thought to himself with smug satisfaction.

Which cultivator in the world would willingly submit to someone else?

When the Immortal Realm was first established, various cultivation systems flourished and competed for dominance. However, as time went by, some cultivation systems gradually declined and eventually disappeared.

While martial arts practitioners began to rise to prominence, and the sorcerers, though having lost their transcendent status, remained the mainstream in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and their overall strength should not be underestimated.

As for Gu practitioners, they have always been considered unorthodox and even defined as heretical for a long time, and have often been suppressed.

Fang Ming is now a master of Gu cultivation, but he is still not as good as a first-grade terrestrial immortal.

This made Fang Ming constantly ask himself, when will the Gu cultivators be able to stand up again?

Li Hannian, the leader of the Black Witch Sect, and a group of elders held the imperial edict and silently chanted the curse technique, completely dispersing the wisps of black energy.

Many powerful ghost cultivators were instantly reduced to ashes.

Pei Zhenzhu's four ghost immortals, Li Haize, Ao Chen, Zhou Yi, and Bai Shu, were stationed in the four directions, leading their ghost cultivators in a great battle against the Skeleton King and others.

Pei Zhenzhu, meanwhile, was stationed at the core of the grand formation, using the power of the supreme formation to fight against a hundred or so cultivators at the level of terrestrial immortals.

"After more than a year in the Earthly Immortal Realm, I finally managed to gather all the ghost cultivators in the world, establish Ghost God Mountain, and have my own power and territory."

"Are we just going to hand it over like this?"

"This path of ghost immortals really has no future. In the outside world, it may be able to show off its power, but once it reaches the Earth Immortal Realm, it becomes a third-rate cultivation system, even inferior to poison cultivators, Gu cultivators, and witch cultivators."

"It seems I need to delve deeper into the sorcerer's cultivation system in the future. If I become a master of sorcery, I can even kill a first-grade terrestrial immortal!"

Pei Zhenzhu was manipulating the array while thinking to herself.
