Chapter 628 Celestial Demons’ Doom

Her elegant, fair-skinned hands looked so delicate and beautiful that it was hard to a.s.sociate this woman with ghost cultivators.

However, just as she grabbed the huge blood-colored, mountain-like horns, the terrifying impact was easily resolved. Then, between her fingers, chains of black fog emerged and sprawled out. Like wildly growing vines, the chains instantly wrapped around Niu Ben’s blood-colored horns.

“Ah…”

The head of the Holy Ghost Sect let out a roar of shock and anger.

His four hooves stamped madly, causing heaven and earth to shake. The dark green flames around him burned fervently and swept toward the woman sage.

“Break!”

The cold voice of the woman sage came out from the cl.u.s.ter of inky Ghost Qi.

So it happened, as though her word was the law.

The dark green flames swept backward.

The blood-colored, mountain-like horns instantly shattered into pieces of debris, which looked like blood-stained b.u.t.terflies dancing in the void.

Niu Ben let out an earth-shattering holler.

His enormous body stumbled back. Losing his horns could be considered a heavy loss to him.

“You… you’ve broken through to the Ghost Lord Realm?”

Green flames kept spewing out from the cut of what was left of the horns on the ox’s head.

His body, which was as gigantic as a mountain, now looked like a moving volcano erupting green lava.

The woman sage did not answer.

The Ghost Qi around her gradually disappeared, revealing her slim and elegant figure. She was wearing a simply-designed white royal dress with a high bun at the back of her head. Her facial features were dignified and refined, giving her a sense of majesty.

No matter from which angle one looked at her, she was indeed a beautiful woman.

When the inky Ghost Qi was completely sucked back into her body, there was not a trace of the aura of a ghost cultivator on her body. It was as if she had become a living person again.

Although many had speculated from her beautiful voices that she was good-looking, they never thought she could be this attractive. When her real appearance was unveiled, they were all stunned for a moment.

“Breakthrough?” The woman sage looked at Niu Ben, the master of the Holy Ghost Sect, and said nonchalantly, “No, I haven’t.”

Niu Ben’s two blood-colored horns gradually grew back as he slowly recovered his strength.

There was a solemn expression on the ox’s face, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.

That one quick strike of hers had made him have the taste of death that he had not felt for tens of thousands of years.

The strength of the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain was obviously stronger than he had imagined.

How could this be?

The Two Sages had only been on the Ghost Rally Star for about five years. How could they rise to such a height in such a short span?

“Well, it turns out that the strength of the woman sage is really powerful. We’ve certainly underestimated her.” The head of the Lost Land smiled as he unhurriedly marched to the battlefield. He said in a very calm tone, “In that case, it’s not wise to let the Old Ox fight you on his own. Because that would be an insult to the dignity of the Two Sages. Why don’t you count me in?”

His black-and-red scale armor started to make a strange rasping sound as if the scales were alive. The dense scale armor began to spread. At last, even his black mask was wrapped in, leaving not an inch of his body exposed.

“Swoos.h.!.+”

A faint light flashed.

The head of the Lost Land had already arrived in front of the woman sage and he immediately threw a punch.

“Ghost-rinsing Killing Fist!”

The fist wrapped in black-and-red scales did not carry any trace of killing intent, but everyone knew the power of this fist. Because back then, the head of the Lost Land had relied solely on this invincible fist to establish the majesty and foundation of the current Lost Land.

It was said that up to today, no one had been able to withstand the killing punch of the head of the Lost Land.

“It’s the first time that I’ve heard someone make a shameless attrition war sound so reasonable.”

A look of contempt appeared on the woman sage’s face. Again, she stretched out her delicate hands, clenched her fists, and threw a punch at the opponent as well.

“Kaboom!”

The head of the Lost Land roared and flew backward hundreds of meters.

Layers of fist energy fluctuations quickly spread out from the center of the battlefield. The fluctuations were visible to the naked eye, which looked just like the radiation fluctuations generated by a nuclear bomb explosion.

Around the battlefield, the ghost cultivators from both sides hastily retreated to avoid being affected.

“You…” The head of the Lost Land looked at his fist and then looked at the woman sage with mighty surprise in his eyes.

He never knew that this woman could even resist his killing blow.

“Bring it on,” said the woman sage, her face br.i.m.m.i.n.g with sarcasm. “Do you want to stick to shamelessness to the end by making this a three-on-one game?”

“Humph,” Xue Yan, the head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect who had not made a move yet, coldly snorted and said, “How arrogant… Since that is the case, I will grant your wish.”

Then, the third magnate also joined the battle.

Watching them on the ground, Li Mu felt that something was not quite right.

No matter how brazen the three magnates were, they should not have specifically ganged up on the woman sage. After all, the Two Sage of the Bone Sacred Mountain were equally famous. Even if the three of them jointly took down the woman sage, they would have to pay a price for the victory. But then, how would they handle the man sage?

The three magnates could not have failed to understand such simple logic.

It did not make much sense to say that they hadn’t figured out the real strength of the Two Sages when they teamed up to deal with the Bone Sacred Mountain. After all, the three of them had lived for thousands of years. Each of them must have had their own information channels or something. The probability of them acting on a whim was very low. Nine times out of ten, they would think in depth and plan carefully before they launched an attack. After all, it wasn’t the kind of fight between individuals.

“Kaboom!”

The battle in the sky was getting more and more intense.

The terrifying energy fluctuation seemed as if it was about to shatter the heavens and earth.

The woman sage fought against the three magnates on her own. Her dress was fluttering gracefully, and she did not look like a half-dead ghost cultivator at all. Instead, she looked more like a living fairy. Her seemingly delicate body contained great energy. She fought bare-handed. And her body seemed to be dancing in the air. Facing the three giants head-on, she was surprisingly not at a disadvantage.

“Step on the sky and shake the earth!”

The colossal body of Niu Ben, the head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect gradually shrank, while the flames around him became increasingly greener. When the ox’s hooves stumped, the earth vibrated and the sky swayed. The energy he produced was likely to cripple the opponent’s fighting spirit. The blood-colored, mountain-like horns of the ox once again charged at the woman sage.

Previously, the woman sage had mocked Niu Ben that all he knew was still the primitive method of collision despite his tens of thousands of years of cultivation. She did have a point.

But sometimes, primitive things were actually the most powerful.

“Ghost-rinsing Killing Fist!”

The head of the Lost Land also launched his best move.

“Thousand wisps of light in the eyes! Rip her up!”

Xue Yan, the head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, cast his killing move at the same time.

Wisps of blood spurted out of his eyes. Like thousands of tentacles, the threads of blood plunged into the void and vanished. But then, they reappeared, disappeared, and reappeared again. They were constantly going back and forth between reality and illusion. Their routes were so mysterious that no one could capture one.

“c.r.a.p.”

Seeing this scene, Zhen Ye’s heart gave a jolt.

The other numerous ghost cultivators of the Bone Sacred Mountain also felt their hearts had jumped to their throats.

Holding the Ghost Head Broadsword in his hand, Li Mu opened his Third Eye slightly, hoping to see through their scheme. He was ready to make a move at any time. If there was no choice, he would even let his ident.i.ty be exposed.

“The Heaven’s Secret Art… Celestial Demons’ Doom!” shouted the woman sage.

Countless chains of black Ghost Qi dashed out of her body. As the chains dangled, the sound of pieces of metal rubbing against each other was heard, as though the chains were substantial. The chains the woman sage had conjured way outnumbered the threads of blood bursting out from the pupils of the head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

In an instant, a ma.s.s of the black chains appeared in the void, blotting out the sky and the sun.

The ox’s body, which had slammed into the ma.s.s of chains, was tied up like a rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves. The terrifying force he carried completely dissolved. In the end, he ended up falling into a dangerous position himself.

Although the head of the Lost Land repeatedly pulled himself out of the grip of the black chains with the help of the bizarre blood-colored scale armor, he was soon trapped again. Helplessly, he could only try to pull himself up at his fastest speed. However, just like a drowning man trapped in the seagra.s.s, it was almost sure that there was no way out for him.

As to the head of the Holy Ghost Sect, the threads of blood darting from his pupils had also completely been cut off by the black chains.

From the Bone Sacred Mountain, a burst of cheers was heard.

When the experts of the three major ghost sects saw this, their expressions changed drastically and their hearts were filled with fear.

“A new era of the Ghost Rally Star is around the corner. The stubborn old people like you, who enjoy all the privileges without doing a stroke of work, should be swept into the corner of history…” the woman sage spoke. Her words carried a kind of exciting power that made people’s blood boil.

At this moment, she was sacred.

“Go away, all the ghosts in our way.”

The black chains of Ghost Qi tightened.

The first one to let out a scream was Niu Ben. He had already been injured once. But this time, he was directly torn apart by the black chains of Ghost Qi and turned into a ball of green flames. His strength was greatly slashed, and he was forced to retreat in a panic.

The head of the Lost Land had thrown countless punches, but all of which were offset when they landed on the black chains of Ghost Qi. In the end, he was forced to detonate the bizarre black-and-red scales covering his body to blast out a slight slit in the wall of black chains of Ghost Qi and escape…

The most miserable one was Xue Yan, the head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

The black chains of Ghost Qi directly crushed the overlaid threads of blood his pupils had released. Eventually, the black chains went along the threads of blood and barged straight into his eyes, entangling his flood dragon head and penetrating his body from inside out. It seemed as if twigs had sprouted out from a corpse, which looked extremely horrible…

“Ahhhh…” Xue Yan screamed and struggled, but he couldn’t break free anyhow.

In this precise instant, the three magnates had all been vanquished by the Celestial Demons’ Doom of the Heaven’s Secret Art launched by the woman sage. And they had been seriously injured, too.

“Die!”

The woman sage was resolute to kill her enemies. She urged the black chains of Ghost Qi to finish off Xue Yan, the head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Right at this moment—

“You are all ghost cultivators. Why be so hard on your own kind?”

An ancient voice seemed to have penetrated the boundless s.p.a.ce and time and rang in the sky above the battlefield.

As the voice sounded, the woman sage’s black chains of Ghost Qi broke into pieces and dissipated inch by inch into drifting mist like papers being burnt into ashes in the wind.

The severely injured head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect caught the brief moment of respite and immediately retreated.

Countless pairs of eyes swiveled toward the sky.

A faint ball of ghost fire, like a black sun, was floating up and down in the void.

The woman sage was standing in the void, her long sleeves fluttering in the wind.

The man sage, who had remained silent and refrained from making a move the whole time, took a step forward. Then, his figure disappeared. In an instant, he reappeared on his wife’s side, withstanding the pressure imposed by that ball of black ghost fire with her shoulder by shoulder.

“That’s someone from the Three Divine Sects.”

The face of the Ghost General elder, Zhen Ye, instantly turned pale.

There was a hint of fear in his trembling voice.

“The Three Divine Sects?”

Li Mu suddenly recalled that Zhen Ye once said that the few places of reincarnation on the Ghost Rally Star were all controlled by the three most powerful ghost sects, which were referred to as the Three Divine Sects. The three sects were the force that really dominated this planet. No ghost cultivator had the strength to challenge the Three Divine Sects. Any force that went against the will of the Three Divine Sects was destined to vanish.

Apparently, Zhen Ye did not expect that the Three Divine Sects would intervene with this war at such an early stage.

The real crisis was coming.
