Chapter 1222: Yin and Yang in One Body (1/2)

Vicious ghosts!

The heads gyrating through the air were vicious ghosts!

Shock dawned in Lu Yun’s eyes when he heard the hubbub of screams. This was his first encounter with vicious ghosts of the Hongmeng, but he hadn’t been able to tell that these beings were ghosts!

He hadn’t read any ghostly qi from them or even yin qi. In his eyes, these vicious ghosts were just some strange and bizarre living beings. Plainly, that was the furthest thing from the truth. These flying heads were the same kind of ghostly entities as present in the world of immortals and chaos.

Vicious ghosts were the most terrifying entities in the Hongmeng. They appeared and disappeared mysteriously, devouring everything in their path. These types of ghosts were the greatest enemy of all living beings in the Hongmeng.

No one had thought that they’d suddenly appear in Meteorite Peak, at the heart of Starspace Region!

“Stop those ghosts, they can’t be allowed to leave the mountain!” shouted a superior realm cultivator. Dressed in purple with eyes glittering like the stars, he exuded an incredibly commanding presence and was stronger than Miao Qimiao.

He suddenly leapt into the air and punched through the remains of the Meteorite King’s forcefield, then grabbed a head hurtling toward him and crushed it with a single hand. The Meteorite King was battling Dusksnow Morningstar up in the air. He’d released his full strength, so the forcefield was naturally weakened.

“The Purpleclad Duke of Starspace City!” Many cultivators present were reinvigorated when they saw the man shoot into the sky and pulp a head with one blow.

The Purpleclad Duke!

This was a long renowned superior realm cultivator widely considered one of the mightiest below a titled king in Starspace Region. Perhaps he was overshadowed by Morningstar now, but no one in Starspace Region would ever not know his name.

“Kill!” Experts from Starspace City immediately clustered around the duke when they saw him and fought back against the heads with coordinated effort.

Hongmeng beings had contended with vicious ghosts for countless eons. Though these capering heads were incredibly eerie and horrifying, the cultivators struck back with ferocity once they regrouped and recomposed themselves.

The Purpleclad Duke charged at the forefront, furiously slaughtering the enemy.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle!

The ground beneath their feet suddenly split open as scarabs thirty meters long rushed out of the earth. Mouth parts chittering hungrily, they swiftly set upon the cultivators and arcane beasts standing on the ground.

Anguished yells and shrieks quickly filled the air as any protective combat art or treasure ripped apart like paper beneath the scarabs’ mouths.

Agape with horror, the Purpleclad Duke dove from the air and stomped a bug to death. He was beginning to panic.

The scarabs were black as night and thirty meters long. Carpeted by a layer of armor-like spikes, they were all in the superior realm! And most importantly was that they were true Hongmeng beings, but they were helping the vicious ghosts kill other third realm denizens!

“DIE!!” A burst of turbulent power exploded from the duke’s body. A pair of purple wings unfurled from his back and beat the tyrannical storm of energy toward the enemy.

……

Hidden in their formation of illusion, Lu Yun and the little fox located Miao Qimiao and the others and dragged them inside.
