After entering the small forest, the path forward could no longer be seen in front of him. The path they had taken to get here had been covered up and was now completely covered in darkness.

The howls of the wraiths sounded in his ears, mournful and plaintive.

”This is the Fierce Demon Soul Shattering Formation. It uses the toughest breastbone of a person as its base and requires a total of 18 spirit stones in order to set up the formation. Truly cruel and merciless!” Zhou Tian whispered.

In order to refine such an unusual sternum, one would need to be filled with resentment, terror, grief, and the inability to die. They would need to be taken out of the human body alive.

He then extracted that person's soul and used a special forging technique to pierce into their sternum.

As a result, every breastbone was filled with all the evil thoughts of a person before death.

To a Ghost Dao cultivator, this was the only way to set up a formation.

The living entered the formation, and the living was sensed by the evil spirits within the formation.

The eighteen evil spirits rushed over with a cold wind blowing and the sound of ghosts and ghosts could be heard.

The Evil Spirits were formless and intangible. Before ordinary people could see clearly, they would be passed through by the Evil Spirits, and even their souls would be devoured by the Evil Spirits.

”You want to take my life at such a level?!” Zhou Tian chuckled and took out a lightning talisman. He stuck it on his chest and chanted an incantation, ”Heavenly thunder is resplendent, exorcise evil spirits, and protect my body!”

The Lightning Summoning Talisman released a dazzling electrical light, which instantly enveloped Tian Tian's entire body.

A terrifying aura. Any evil spirits that dared to approach within half a meter of Zhou Tian were completely sucked in by the heavenly thunder and were unable to move. Following that, the lightning on Zhou Tian's body automatically struck, annihilating the imprisoned evil ghost.

”Your foundation is the eighteen breastbones. In order to achieve the best effect, the eighteen chests naturally cannot be too far away. As long as I destroy those eighteen chests, this formation will break by itself.”

Zhou Tian pondered.

With the lightning protecting his body, Zhou Tian walked freely in the black fog. The evil spirits only dared to watch from afar and didn't dare to get too close.

With the help of his Divine Vision, Zhou Tian quickly found the specific locations of the eighteen breastbones.

But before he could make his move, the black fog in the formation grew in intensity. All the evil spirits had gathered together to form the Evil Ghost King!

The Evil Ghost King was as big as a room, with only its head and no body. Its entire head was formed from an endless amount of ghost aura, and then it used the eighteen evil spirits as its foundation.

His eyes were filled with killing intent.

”He actually raised a Ghost King, he deserves death!” Zhou Tian's murderous heart was scorching hot.

There were many conditions to produce a Demonic Ghost King, and one of them was to use 100 souls of the living as sacrifices.

This meant that more than a hundred people had died in this Ghost Shattering Soul Array.

The old lady from the wooden house smiled coldly, ”I have nurtured this Ghost King with great care. In order to maintain his power, I will feed him to the souls of strangers every other month.”

”Originally, I wanted to borrow the deep ghost aura underground to make Monday's Chuan transform into the Ghost King, but you ruined everything. Then, I will inject all of the ghost aura into this Ghost King and increase its power greatly. I would like to see how you will avoid being hunted down by the Ghost King!”

The Spirit King's mouth opened, and a cold wind covered the sky.

A cloud of cold wind surrounded Tian Zhou, and at a glance, it was as if Tian Zhou had been swallowed into the Ghost King's mouth.

Zhou Tian didn't dare to be careless. Even with the protection of the Lightning Summoning Talisman, he couldn't resist the cold wind forever.

”First, break 18 of the breastbone before thinking of a way to deal with this Ghost King!”

Zhou Tian made up his mind. Relying on the fact that the power of the lightning talisman was still there, he forcibly broke out of the encirclement of the cold wind.

Upon seeing this, the Spirit King whistled past, following closely behind Zhou Tian. From time to time, it would release a breath of cold air, trying to stop Zhou Tian's footsteps.

Arriving at the Boneyard, Zhou Tian shouted loudly and stomped his foot down. A surge of true qi followed his foot into the ground and destroyed the sternum of the formation.

Breaking through these eighteen chests, although it was unable to destroy the Spirit King, it could weaken its power by a third.

Moreover, only after the formation was broken would Tian Zhou be able to fight against the Spirit King.

Otherwise, it would be too unwise to fight against the Spirit King in a region filled with demonic aura.

The weakened Ghost King was enraged and flew towards Tian Zhou, ignoring the power of the Lightning Summoning Talisman, opening his mouth wide and devouring Tian Zhou.

Countless bolts of lightning scurried around Zhou Tian's body as he fought against the surrounding ghost aura.

”This Ghost King is actually able to think of such a desperate method. Clearly, he possesses a certain level of intelligence. However, it only has a little bit of intelligence! ”

Zhou Tian had been anticipating this moment for a long time.

He sat cross-legged and channeled a huge amount of true qi into the Lightning Summoning Talisman.

Suddenly, the Lightning Summoning Talisman shone brilliantly and the lightning became thicker. It changed from the size of a thread to the size of a chopstick and became even more powerful than before.

From afar, Zhou Tian's body was covered in a black mist. Lightning flowed all over him, making him look like a divine being descending into this world.

The clash of lightning and ghost aura caused the Spirit King to scream out in anger. Every bit of ghost aura lost caused its power to weaken.

In the end, the Spirit King was completely destroyed by the lightning.

However, he was not destroyed, but only severely injured. The surrounding ghost aura poured into his body unceasingly, and a mini version of the Spirit King appeared once again.

Zhou Tian didn't dare delay any longer. The threat the Ghost King posed to him had already lessened, so he could easily destroy the remaining seventeen breastbones one by one.

As for taking the opportunity to destroy the Spirit King, Zhou Tian had thought of it before, but he was afraid that if the Fierce Demon Ghost Soul Shattering Array was not broken, the Spirit King would continue to exist.

He had to first break the formation, then destroy the Spirit King!

At this moment, the Ghost King no longer had the power from before. He could only follow behind Zhou Tian as he watched Zhou Tian destroy seventeen breastbones.

At this point, the Ghost Soul-Destroying Formation had been broken!

In the wooden house, the old granny spat out a mouthful of blood, and her expression became even more repulsive.
