Chapter 2418: Thousand Ghosts' Power

The five golden heads on the giant's neck suddenly opened their mouths, letting out an extremely piercing shriek. With a "whoosh," after a spatial fluctuation on its body, a layer of equally golden light emerged. Overwhelming invisible sword energy struck the light shield, only to bounce off with a rapid sound like rain hitting a fence, completely unable to break through.

At the same time, a ghostly face on the giant's body blurred and vanished. Black mist billowed from its headless neck, rapidly condensing into another perfectly intact head.

Seeing this, the small golden figure still showed no expression, but a cold glint suddenly flashed in its crystal eyes. In an instant, spatial fluctuations erupted on both sides of the giant, and two crystal beams, over ten zhang long, flashed into existence, crossing as they slashed downwards. With a "bang," the seemingly indestructible light shield instantly shattered and vanished after the crystal light passed through it, and the giant's newly formed head rolled off with a gurgling sound. The Gold-Devouring Beetle King had, astonishingly, used its innate divine ability to instantly decapitate the giant again.

But immediately, amidst the eerie chanting of the five golden heads, as the second ghostly face on the giant's body disappeared, black mist surged forth, and a second head silently materialized from its neck. The moment it formed, it sneered: "I possess the power of a thousand malevolent spirits, which means I have a thousand lives. Even if you decapitate me hundreds of times, you can't truly harm me. Instead, I'd like to see if you can withstand a strike from my 'Thousand Ghosts' power."

As soon as the words fell, the giant, formed by Fiend Overseer King, trembled. All the ghostly faces on its body suddenly gathered towards its two arms. Then, after a flick of its two massive hands, they simultaneously shot forward to grab. Countless black mists swirled out, and the ghostly faces all howled as they peeled off its two arms, transforming into extremely horrifying and grotesque expressions. With a "hissing" sound, the two giant claws silently detached from its elbows and shot out. After swaying in the wind, they expanded to the size of an acre. One claw lunged towards the small golden figure, while the other reached out towards the distant gigantic ape.

The small golden figure, usually expressionless, showed a flicker of emotion on its face for the first time when it saw the giant claw strike. With a "whoosh," golden light flashed around its body, and it vanished into the nearby void. However, the giant claw's five fingers flexed slightly, and after countless ghostly faces nearby twisted, five black ropes instantly shot out from its fingertips. With a "thud!" the five black ropes flashed and vanished, then abruptly pulled back. After intense spatial fluctuations nearby, the small golden figure was forcefully dragged out of the void, bound tightly by the black ropes. The giant claw closed its five fingers, seizing the small golden figure in its palm and squeezing it tightly. Immediately, the ghostly faces around the entire giant claw began wailing loudly. Then, they exploded into black mist, instantly engulfing the giant claw and the small golden figure within.

But the next moment, two crystal beams, over ten zhang long, flashed into existence within the black mist. After a furious, dragon-like slashing, they completely shattered both the black ropes and the giant claw. The small golden figure leaped out, transforming into a ball of golden light that pierced through the black mist. However, countless ghostly faces flashed into view within the shattered black mist, emitting strange murmuring sounds. The giant claw silently reformed amidst them and, with a tremor, shot towards the small figure. Although the crystal light spewing from the Gold-Devouring Beetle King's eyes was incredibly powerful, it seemed unable to be used too many times. After using it to shatter the giant claw several more times, it had to move its body, fighting while retreating. The giant claw, relying on its "immortal body," pursued relentlessly without any hesitation. For a time, the two chased each other endlessly, swirling around the mountain peak.

Meanwhile, Han Li's gigantic ape form faced the same bizarre giant claw whistling down, but instead of dodging, it pounded its chest with both hands. Its three-headed, six-armed body swelled again, and a buzzing sound emanated from the dense silver patterns on its skin. With a movement of its six arms, six golden giant fists struck towards the giant claw in the air. Han Li actually intended to shatter the giant claw with a single blow, relying solely on his physical body. The gigantic ape, having pushed its Hundred Meridian Treasure Art to the extreme, launched its six golden fists. The immense power generated caused a sonic boom in the nearby void, and six shimmering golden hurricanes shot forth from its fists, first trembling, then blurring and distorting the air in their path, creating an utterly terrifying spectacle.

"Cackle..." Facing such an attack, the giant claw's momentum did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, the countless ghostly faces wrapped around it simultaneously emitted eerie cackles, then opened their mouths wide. The moment the six hurricanes swept close, they were all instantly sucked in by these ghostly faces, like a dragon drawing water. The ghostly faces suddenly swelled in size, then spewed out countless black threads from their mouths. These threads intricately shot out and wove together, instantly forming a black silken net. After the six golden giant fists flashed and entered the net, the net merely swayed slightly. Instead of tearing apart, it simply wrapped around and enveloped the gigantic ape's massive body.

At this moment, with a "whoosh," countless surging silver flames erupted from the giant ape's body, forming a cloud of fire that forcefully lifted the black silken net. However, the giant claw that followed immediately plunged into the sea of fire without any hesitation. The nearby ghostly faces spewed black light from their mouths, forcefully resisting the approach of the silver flames. The giant claw passed directly through the fire cloud without any obstruction, flashing to appear above the central head of the gigantic ape, its five fingers reaching down to grasp. Before the five fingers could truly close, five streams of black mist first sprayed out from their tips, transforming into five coiling black ropes. The gigantic ape snorted coldly, raised its head, and from its three mouths, seven streams of shimmering green astral wind surged forth, blowing aside the five black ropes. Then, the green astral wind blurred, suddenly emitting an extremely sharp and intensely cold energy. After a flash, it enveloped the giant claw.

A loud "clanging" sound erupted. Crisp, continuous clinking sounds emanated from the green wind. After its light receded, it mysteriously transformed into dozens of small green swords that wildly stabbed at the giant claw. However, the giant claw, bolstered by the power of a thousand ghosts, seemed indestructible. After only countless faint white marks were left on its surface, it forcefully repelled all the small green swords. With a loud "bang," the giant claw finally crushed the giant ape's protective spiritual light, but then it was forcefully resisted by several silver runic arrays of varying sizes that appeared on the ape's massive head, flashing with silver light. The dense ghostly faces on the giant claw's surface flashed into view again. After writhing strangely and emitting low incantations, its five fingers suddenly thickened, and the immense power surging from them instantly increased by more than tenfold. Even though the silver runic arrays were incredibly profound, under such immense pressure, they couldn't help but emit "creaking" sounds, looking as if they could shatter and disintegrate at any moment.

But just then, the gigantic ape sighed lightly, suddenly retracted one hand, and slapped the top of its head like lightning. The top of its head flashed open on its own, and several luminous orbs of various colors flew out from it. After swaying in the wind, they transformed into the illusory figures of different true spirits, such as the Heavenly Phoenix, True Dragon, and Thunder Roc. After circling once, they each flashed and plunged into the gigantic ape's massive body. The next moment, a series of colossal, firecracker-like explosions erupted from the gigantic ape's body. Its six arms violently swung, its entire body flashed with purple-gold light, and golden scales appeared on its skin. At the same time, its head swelled, and a short horn emerged on each of its three heads. The surrounding world essence suddenly trembled, funneling madly towards the gigantic ape. Han Li, seeing that ordinary methods couldn't deal with the Fiend Overseer King, finally activated the third-stage transformation of his Nirvana Body. The transformed demonized gigantic ape let out a long roar. Its two arms blurred, then grabbed the giant claw. With a slight squeeze of its fingers, it forcefully crushed it. Then, with a toss of its head, it opened its mouth and inhaled upwards. A golden mist sprayed from its mouth, instantly coiling up the aerial net and easily sucking it into its belly.

The giant, formed by the distant Fiend Overseer King, was greatly alarmed by this. It hurriedly formed a finger and pointed it towards the void in this direction. Immediately, wailing sounds once again surged around the giant ape. Numerous ghostly faces rolled out of the black mist, their faces enraged, rapidly muttering incantations. Immediately, the giant claw blurred, about to reappear amidst the ghostly faces. "Insignificant trick! Do you truly believe such a method can be used repeatedly before me, Han?"

However, the demonized gigantic ape let out a low roar, and its six arms simultaneously punched the surrounding void. After several "booming" sounds, spatial fluctuations erupted around the giant ape. Six shimmering golden vortices appeared out of thin air. After spinning wildly, they generated an incredibly terrifying suction force, and faint traces of the power of laws could vaguely be seen emanating from within. The seemingly invisible ghostly faces only managed to let out a few piercing screams before they were all swept away by these vortices like a tide. "Thousand-Eyes Power!"

The distant Fiend Overseer King was truly astonished by this sight. After an angry, shocked roar, he suddenly clasped his hands together in a spell. The ghostly faces that had disappeared from his body flashed back into appearance. Simultaneously, they opened their eyes, and countless emerald light threads shot out from them. After a flicker, they converged in front of him into a massive light pillar, as thick as a water vat. This light pillar flashed past, piercing through hundreds of zhang, and appeared directly in front of the demonized gigantic ape.

A fierce expression appeared on the demonized gigantic ape's face. One of its large hands, covered in purple-gold scales, swept across its front, and its five fingers opened, grabbing towards the light pillar. A earth-shattering "bang" erupted. The green light pillar was forcefully blocked by the golden hand and immediately burst into a massive ball of light. After the waves of impact dispersed, the golden palm that reappeared was astonishingly completely unharmed.

Upon seeing this, even though Fiend Overseer King had experienced countless major battles, his eye twitched rapidly. Just as he was about to roll his eyes and contemplate using other divine abilities, the distant demonized gigantic ape, without a word, simply extended one hand into the void. Immediately, a flash of emerald light appeared in its palm, and a dark green longsword materialized. With a slight flick of its wrist, the longsword instantly transformed into a giant blade over ten zhang long. All six of the giant ape's arms moved simultaneously. After its six massive hands flashed, they jointly gripped the hilt of the giant blade and, with a solemn expression, slashed towards its opponent.
