789 The Hades Heavenly Ghos (2/2)

Ghost King Jiang Yan extended his hand and flicked it. The heavens and the earth suddenly darkened. Dark clouds covered the sky. A giant ghost head appeared in the sky, with the head of a bull and ghostly eyes. It opened its mouth with a hideous expression. It seemed as though it could swallow the entire world in one gulp.

Howl!

The hideous ghost raised its head and howled at the sky. Then, it bit down towards Mo Qingge. Ghost Qi covered the sky and was as cold as ice.

”Our Huatian Palace Second Palace Lord is also a woman. Who was it that almost died at her hands a century ago?”

Mo Qingge slowly extended her white jade hand. An immaculate white lotus emerged from her palm. The immaculate lotus became a gleaming ancient sword. With a slash, she cleaved the ghost head in two.

”The Divine Lotus Ancient Sword! You only have intermediate stage Tide Changing Realm cultivation; how could you possibly summon the Divine Lotus Ancient Sword?”

Jiang Yan was shocked. The Divine Lotus Ancient Sword was a great magical power of the Huatian Palace. Once this sword appeared, countless strong practitioners of the heretic forces were slashed down. As the Ghost Lair's Ghost King, he had a deep impression of this weapon. However, in the Huatian Palace, aside from a few Palace Lords, there was most likely no one else that could master this remarkable power.

Mo Qingge flicked her finger. The snow-white Divine Lotus Ancient Sword became a jade dragon. It directly ascended into the heavens and violently crashed towards Jiang Yan.

”I want to see what realm you have practiced the Divine Lotus Ancient Sword to. Or is it just for show?” Jiang Yan coldly snorted. His entire being suddenly became larger, instantly becoming more than a hundred meters tall. His body was covered in layers of scales and his two arms became beast claws, giving him the appearance of a prehistoric beast. The magical power which had caused such a bizarre phenomenon was unknown to those watching. Ghost King Jiang Yan's Qi and blood covered the sky. It was as though he was an absolute demon king.

His punch crashed out and collided with the jade dragon.

Rumble!

The whole space seemed to shake for a moment. Then, it crumbled at a speed that the naked eye could follow. Dust on the floor was stirred up. In the dark, it was as though the surrounding space was being continuously consumed.

To Mo Wen's astonishment, the clash between Mo Qingge and Ghost King Jiang Yan had caused half of the cleft space to collapse. Thankfully, the ancient city was located at the center of the cleft space. So even though the surrounding space had all collapsed, the ancient city was not affected. However, if the two continued to fight, Mo Wen was certain that this cleft space would not last for long.

Ghost King Jiang Yan had crushed the attack from the Divine Lotus Ancient Sword with a punch. However, he was pushed backward by a few hundred meters due to the recoil. The might of their attacks was almost equal.

Jiang Yan had the cultivation at the pinnacle of the Tide Changing Realm, two realms higher than that of Mo Qingge. Yet, in the end, he did not gain any advantage from exchanging blows with her.

”D*mn it!” Staring at the half-collapsed space, Ghost King Jiang Yan's expression was surly. He stared coldly at Mo Qingge, not daring to attack recklessly.

”Why? Did you only think of the possibility of this space collapsing completely now?” Mo Qingge asked plainly. She was indifferent about the space collapsing. If the cleft space collapsed, she could retreat with everyone from the Huatian Palace. With her cultivation, it was not a hard task for her to escape from here.

However, for the Ghost Lair, it was different. Once the cleft space collapsed, it would be impossible for them to continue their sacred rite.

”Humph. Don't you dare think that you can threaten me.” Ghost King Jiang Yan coldly snorted. Suddenly, he made a grab and not far away, the dark space formed using the Ten Thousand Soul Banner shattered. A black flag flew out from the space, landing in Ghost King Jiang Yan's hand. Ghost King Jiang Yan was the king of the Ghost Lair. Naturally, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was under his control.

The sacred rite was an utmost important mission for the Ghost Lair. Naturally, they would have come prepared. Once the Ten Thousand Soul Banner landed in Ghost King Jiang Yan's hand, it emitted dazzling light.

The flag transformed into a huge canopy, enveloping the entire ancient city. Sinister winds gushed. At the same time, huge stone pillars, a few kilometers in diameter, shot up from the ground. There were a total of a hundred and eight stone pillars, surrounding the whole ancient city.

Mysterious runes were carved on every stone pillar. The hundred and eight stone pillars connected and formed a gigantic stratagem.

”The Hades Heavenly Ghost Stratagem!” A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Qingge's eyes. There was actually such a terrifying stratagem from the Underworld hidden around the ancient city! It was difficult to set up this stratagem. Indeed, the Ghost Lair had gone all out for this sacred rite.

”You have good eyes.” Ghost King Jiang Yan glanced at Mo Qingge, surprised. To his surprise, she had actually recognized this stratagem. In reality, the Ghost Lair had not known about the existence of the Hades Heavenly Ghost Stratagem before this. The Underworld had passed him this stratagem across realms in preparation for the sacred rite.

Initially, he thought that no one from the Huatian Palace would know about this stratagem. Most likely even the Huatian Palace Palace Lords did not know about it. However, Mo Qingge had been able to identify it with a glance.

”No wonder the Ghost Lair is willing to pay such a high price. Even you, who have remained hidden for a hundred years, have appeared. I suppose this matter is most likely related to the Underworld?” Mo Qingge's facial expression turned slightly serious. If the Underworld was involved, things would be more.

”Your Huatian Palace has ruled for so many years. You should be satisfied and shouldn't expect more.”

The Ghost King laughed sinisterly. He waved the Ten Thousand Soul Banner once. Immediately, sinister winds swept up and streaks of Hades Qi emerged from the ground, quickly permeating the surrounding area.

Originally, there was no moon in the cleft space; however, right now, a full moon had appeared in the sky. The full moon was blood red in color instead of white.

A figure which looked like an ultimate demon was reflected in the crimson moon. The figure was like the demon king from Hell. An unparalleled evil aura hovered over the ancient city, causing everyone to shiver uncontrollably.

”The Hades Heavenly Ghost!” Mo Qingge's facial expression was now extremely serious.
