Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Yuwen Muxi hurriedly called out to Li Moxuan, "You saved me last time, I've come here specifically to repay your kindness!"

Repaying a debt of gratitude?

Li Moxuan glanced at him and nodded. "Perfect timing. I have something I need someone to do. Come with me after we're done!"

After saying that, Li Moxuan headed towards the Wuxiang Sect, which surprised Yuwen Chengdu a bit. "Is your master so carefree?"

As a general of the Sui Dynasty and a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, wasn't Li Moxuan afraid that his spirit medium would cause trouble?

"Yuwen Chengdu, watch your mouth!"

Yuchi Gong was a little annoyed, "You don't need to judge how His Highness does things!"

After saying that, he directly swung the Tiger Roar Double Whips down at Yuwen Chengdu.

Yuwen Chengdu dodged to the side, his phoenix-winged gilded halberd tearing through the air with immense force, aiming straight for Yuchi Gong's face.

Instead of retreating, Yuchi Gong advanced, his tiger-roar double whips rising from below, forcefully blocking the phoenix-winged gilded halberd.

clang--

The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, sending out a huge shockwave that shattered the ground beneath their feet.

Yuchi Gong, whose hands were numb from the impact, laughed heartily, "That was exhilarating!"

Without saying much, Yuwen Chengdu turned around and slid down along the Tiger Roar double whips, aiming straight for Yuchi Gong's fingers that were holding the whips. The speed of his change of move was like lightning.

Just then, two golden beams of light pierced through the air, one from the left and one from the right, aiming straight for Yuwen Chengdu's ribs.

Yuwen Chengdu swept his halberd horizontally, simultaneously shattering the two golden lights. Qin Qiong's figure swept past like a gust of wind, his Thunderclap Double Maces drawing an arc in the air before landing steadily in his hands.

Using the force of Yuwen Chengdu's hammer, he spun around and entered the battle circle, standing shoulder to shoulder with Yuchi Gong.

"Finally, we're all in it together!"

Yuwen Chengdu's body trembled, and lightning blazed around him. He took a step forward, holding the halberd in one hand.

The phoenix-winged gilded sword swept across, creating a fierce wind that carved deep trenches into the surrounding ground.

Yuchi Gong used his double whips to deflect the force, while Qin Qiong used his double maces to parry. Together, the two blocked Yuwen Chengdu's attack.

"Jingde, what should we say?"

"He's incredibly strong, probably the strongest under the Ghost King. Looks like we can't hold back anymore, let's all attack together!"

The battle raged fiercely, and the commotion was even felt by Li Moxuan. Li Yuanba was very excited about it, saying, "I really want to see how much that guy has improved!"

"Come on! Aren't you just bullying people by going up there?"

Li Cunxiao wasn't as excited as him. "He might not even be able to beat Ren Gui. If you're going to fight, find an opponent who's evenly matched!"

"I think Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, is very much to my liking. I must have a fight with him if I get the chance!"

"Okay, there will be other opportunities in the future..."

Li Moxuan walked to the front of the Wuxiang Gate and waved to the surrounding soldiers, "You may all step back!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After the surrounding soldiers withdrew, Li Moxuan took out the Imperial Decree, Hellfire, and Divine Blood.

As for the Nirvana Pestle, its main function is to absorb and release divine power. It is generally used to absorb the divine power of the Four Divine Beads and release it onto the Formless Gate.

But now that the divine power of the four divine pearls is concentrated in Li Moxuan's body, he can use this divine power at will, so the Nirvana Pestle is no longer necessary.

Following the steps instructed by the Tree God, Li Moxuan poured the divine blood onto the Imperial Decree, which then emitted a blood-red light.

Then, he chanted the incantation of the Tree God Sect, controlling the Hellfire to ignite the entire Wuxiang Sect, and struck the Imperial Decree into it with a palm.

Next, all that is needed is to infuse the divine power of the four divine pearls into it, providing it with power, and the Formless Gate will be able to resume operation...

Chapter 283: The Battle of Destiny

On the other side, under the combined attack of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, Yuwen Chengdu gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, with several wounds on his body, and retreated to Yuwen Muxi.

The outcome is decided!

Qin Qiong stopped Yuchi Gong, who was about to continue the pursuit, and said to Yuwen Chengdu, "If we continue fighting, it will be a losing proposition!"

"Ah……"

Hearing this, Yuwen Chengdu's fighting spirit only intensified. "Apart from that guy, I, Yuwen Chengdu, have never been defeated by anyone!"

"You think you can beat me without using your full strength? Not so easy!"

Yuwen Chengdu turned to look at Yuwen Muxi, "Muxi..."

"Alright, I understand even if you don't say it!"

Yuwen Muxi's spiritual power surged. "Yuwen Chengdu, I grant you permission to use the Ghost King's power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuwen Chengdu's spiritual power surged rapidly, and terrifying lightning emanated from his body.

He gripped the Phoenix Winged Gold Halberd with both hands, drawing all the lightning around him into his body. Then, he suddenly raised it upwards, the halberd's edge triggering thunder from the heavens.

The sky was covered by dark clouds, and a pillar of lightning descended from the sky, pouring into Yuwen Chengdu's body. His body swelled several times its original size, and lightning snakes slithered on his golden armor, making him look like a thunder god descending to earth.

Fine lightning patterns appeared on the surface of the golden plates on Yuwen Chengdu's armor, and electric arcs constantly moved across the exposed skin.

A vertical line split his brow, his eyes emitted golden lightning, his hair bun fell apart, and his long hair was disheveled, each strand turning into tiny bolts of lightning that danced wildly in the wind like snakes.

The lightning crackling around the phoenix-winged gilded halberd in his hand solidified into two enormous lightning snakes, coiled on either side of the halberd's edge.

Behind him, a thunder god with three heads and six arms, a bare upper body, a thunder drum around his waist, and a thunder cone in his hand was slowly taking shape.

Sensing the astonishing power emanating from Yuwen Chengdu, Yuchi Lietang frowned, "How does this guy also possess the power of a Ghost King?"

Isn't it said that Ghost King Power and Martial God Body are both rare? It's one thing that Martial God Body is common, but how come there are so many Ghost King Power?

"So what if he has the power of the Ghost King? Lie Tang, we can't let Mo Xuan down!"

"I understand what you mean, let's do it!"

Qin Wang Gong and Yu Chi Lie Tang formed hand seals, releasing all their spiritual power and converging it together, chanting, "Door Gods United!"

Accompanied by a dazzling golden light, the ground began to tremble, and Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong's bodies were enveloped in the golden light.

Amidst the golden light, General Gao Ya Qian Sheng, the size of a mountain, clad in heavy armor, with his four arms each wielding a massive double whip, a single mace, and a huge Heavenly Gate Shield, emerged!

The figures of King Qin and Yuchi Lietang disappeared, clearly having merged into the body of General Gaoya Qiansheng.

Yuwen Chengdu and General Qian Sheng, the commander of the Great Banner, faced off for a moment, and then they attacked simultaneously.

General Qian Sheng, wielding the Great Banner, slammed his single mace down on Yuwen Chengdu with an overwhelming force, followed closely by his double whips, which crashed down like Mount Tai.

The Thunder God's Dharma Image behind Yuwen Chengdu opened its six eyes simultaneously, and the Thunder Cone in its hand and the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd in Yuwen Chengdu's hand pierced out together, carrying with them lightning that could destroy all things.

The moment the two forces collided, the world lost its color, and a massive shockwave swept across hundreds of miles.

The ground shook violently and cracked, as if an earthquake had struck, and the surrounding soldiers were also thrown over by the shockwave...

As the light faded, Li Moxuan's figure appeared on the battlefield.

To his right, Li Cunxiao, now in Ghost King form, gripped the Yu King Spear with both hands, blocking the mace and double whips in the hands of General Gao Ya Qian Sheng.

To his left, Li Yuanba, who had also entered the Ghost King form, used the Thunder Drum Golden Hammer to block Yuwen Chengdu's Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd.

Li Moxuan turned his gaze away from Yuwen Chengdu. "You've completely ignored what I said!"

The two of them are making quite a racket; if they're allowed to keep fighting like this, the entire area will probably be destroyed...

Upon seeing Li Moxuan approach, General Qian Sheng of the Great Banner sheathed his weapon, exited his combined form, and transformed into four figures: Qin Wang Gong, Yuchi Lie Tang, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong, who landed on the ground.

King Qin coughed lightly. "Mo Xuan, you finished your business so quickly?"

"Um……"

Li Moxuan nodded. He did not inject the divine power of the four divine pearls into the Wuxiang Sect. Da Yutian had just died, so it was better to wait a while longer.

Without realizing it, Li Yuanba, itching to fight, started a fight with Yuwen Chengdu.

"This is utterly reckless..."

Li Moxuan couldn't interfere in their destined battle, so he could only use the power of the Xihe Divine Pearl to create the strongest barrier around them, minimizing their impact on the surrounding area.

"Hahaha, Yuwen Chengdu, let me see your Ghost King power!"

Li Yuanba grinned, his figure flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye, appearing in front of Yuwen Chengdu in the next instant, swinging his double hammers in a wide arc and smashing them down on his head.

Yuwen Chengdu's expression hardened. Without thinking, he raised his Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd overhead to block the attack.

clang--

With a loud bang, the ground within a radius of a hundred feet sank three feet, and the ground beneath Yuwen Chengdu's feet shattered inch by inch, his legs sinking into the ground up to his knees.

Seeing this, Li Yuanba smiled excitedly, "Not bad, you have some strength, let's try again!"

He retrieved the golden hammer and brought it down again. Yuwen Chengdu gritted his teeth, turned his body to deflect some of the force, and rolled to the side to dodge.

Li Yuanba's hammer grazed his shoulder and slammed into the ground with a loud boom, splitting open a deep abyss more than ten feet wide, its depths unfathomable.

Yuwen Chengdu turned over and stood up, looking down at his left shoulder. His golden armor was shattered, and his shoulder was a bloody mess. He was only three inches away from losing his arm.

He raised his head and looked at Li Yuanba with a solemn expression, feeling somewhat unwilling. Even if he died, could he still not defeat him?

He took a deep breath, gripped the halberd with both hands, and his spiritual power surged wildly within him. Lightning shone brightly around him, and lightning snakes danced wildly on the halberd's edge, transforming into two lightning dragons!

"Peerless Heavenly Treasure - Thunder Dragon Break!"

Yuwen Chengdu thrust his halberd out like a dragon, carrying a devastating force that aimed straight for Li Yuanba's heart.

"One move decides the outcome!"

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Flame Wheel behind Li Yuanba was instantly dyed red by the blood-red Asura Path Battle Flame.

Blood-red flames erupted from his body, his eyes turned bloodshot, radiating an extreme aura of killing intent. Without dodging or avoiding, he used his left hammer to protect his chest while swinging his right hammer in a wide arc towards Yuwen Chengdu.

Yuwen Chengdu's phoenix-winged gilded halberd spiked onto his left hammer, sparks flying and lightning exploding.

Li Yuanba paused, took three steps back, and Yuwen Chengdu's Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd bounced high into the air, leaving him wide open, while Li Yuanba's right hammer was already in front of him.

Yuwen Chengdu's pupils contracted sharply, and his body jerked backward. The hammer swept past the tip of his nose, the gale-force wind leaving a bloody mark on his face.

He flipped backward, landing more than ten feet away, successfully creating some distance between himself and Li Yuanba.
