Chapter 1621: Haitang Shows Her Amazing Powers

A spiritual beast capable of unleashing water-elemental divine thunder naturally possesses an extraordinary bloodline.

The young woman in the purple skirt flipped her right hand, and with a flash of spiritual light, a pair of palm-sized rings appeared in her grasp. One ring was gold, the other silver, and both were intricately carved with lifelike flood dragons. These were the Two-Phase Dragon-Binding Rings, a magical treasure designed specifically for spiritual beasts. She flicked her wrist, and the Two-Phase Dragon-Binding Rings shot out as two streaks of spiritual light. Amidst two deafening dragon roars, the rings rapidly expanded, moving to envelop the Sea-Quelling Ape.

Meanwhile, Shen Haoran and the green-robed elder also engaged Fairy Ziyue and Ye Haitang. Fairy Ziyue and Ye Haitang each controlled a fourth-tier puppet beast, directing them to attack Shen Haoran. Shen Haoran deployed magical treasures and divine abilities against the fourth-tier puppet beasts. Sparks flew with each impact, yet the puppet beasts remained completely undamaged. The green-robed elder waved a shimmering green banner, unleashing a hazy green gale that surged towards his opponents. Constant roars filled the air, as powerful shockwaves churned the water, raising colossal waves.

Ye Haitang unleashed her eighteen Heavenly Ghost Banners, which spun erratically around her. A cacophony of ghostly wails intensified, accompanied by gusts of chilling wind. Just then, ripples appeared in the void above her head, and a colossal, jade-green ghostly claw materialized and swiftly lunged towards her crown. Ye Haitang was prepared. With a flick of her dress, two streaks of black light shot out, striking the green ghostly claw. With two dull clangs, the green ghostly claw's descent was momentarily halted. Ye Haitang blurred into an afterimage, evading the jade-green claw. More than a dozen jade-green fireballs, each as large as a house, hurtled towards her. The eighteen Heavenly Ghost Banners rapidly spun, unleashing countless wisps of black ghostly energy to shield Ye Haitang. The green fireballs struck the black ghostly energy with continuous roars, dispersing a significant portion of it. Yet, Ye Haitang remained completely unharmed.

A chilling wind swept past, and a faint, jade-green ghostly silhouette suddenly materialized behind Ye Haitang. A look of satisfaction appeared on the green-robed elder's face; it was a feint. At that moment, a black spiritual light surged from Ye Haitang's body, enveloping an area extending hundreds of meters. This was the Yellow Spring Forbidden Light, specifically designed to suppress ghostly entities. As the green ghostly silhouette touched the Yellow Spring Forbidden Light, it instantly let out a miserable shriek, and a puff of green smoke billowed. Ye Haitang gave a cold snort, then flipped her right hand, causing the Heavenly Ghost Blade to appear. Mournful ghostly cries filled the air as the blade flew from her grasp, slicing towards the green ghostly silhouette. The green ghostly silhouette was trapped by the Yellow Spring Forbidden Light, unable to move.

With a shriek, the green ghostly silhouette was cleaved in two by the Heavenly Ghost Blade. Though it quickly healed, its body became semi-transparent, appearing severely weakened. The skull on the Heavenly Ghost Blade's hilt then spat out a black light, enveloping and devouring the jade-green ghostly silhouette. After devouring the jade-green ghostly silhouette, the Heavenly Ghost Blade blazed with blinding black light.

The green-robed elder's face paled in shock; he had not anticipated his opponent possessing a divine ability capable of restraining ghostly entities. At that moment, a sharp ghostly wail pierced the air, and the green-robed elder felt his head swim and throb. He inwardly knew something was wrong. A dark light illuminated his chest, and a pitch-black light barrier materialized, enveloping his entire body. A pitch-black ghostly claw suddenly appeared behind the green-robed elder, striking towards him with lightning speed. With a dull thud, the black light barrier blocked the ghostly claw.

The sea surface suddenly erupted, and a massive skeleton emerged from the seabed. This ape-headed, human-bodied skeleton towered over a hundred meters high, emanating surging yin energy. It wielded a white bone hammer over thirty meters long in each hand, and a pair of bone wings, each over thirty meters in size, extended from its back. Judging by its aura, it was a Nascent Soul stage Ghost King. Ye Haitang had spent a century collecting a vast quantity of spiritual bones, which she then refined using formations to create this "Thousand Bone Human Devil." Infused with a Nascent Soul stage ghostly entity, this Thousand Bone Human Devil was incredibly resistant to damage from magical treasures. The Thousand Bone Human Devil swung its bone hammers, bringing them down upon the green-robed elder.

After two dull thuds, the black light barrier shattered. Struck by the bone hammers, the green-robed elder was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. Before he could land, the surrounding yin energy churned violently, forming a ghostly face several thousand meters wide. The ghostly face opened its gaping maw, and a black pillar of light, thirty meters in diameter, shot out, instantly reaching the green-robed elder. Ghostly wails echoed as a green light shot from the green-robed elder's sleeve. It was a small jade-green shield, its surface illuminated by countless profound runes, rapidly expanding to block in front of him. With a dull thud, the black pillar of light was blocked by the green shield.

A series of shrill, harrowing ghostly wails emanated from all directions, unsettling and disorienting anyone who heard them. The chilling winds intensified, and within a five-kilometer radius, the yin energy churned violently. Dense ghostly figures and vast numbers of skeletal soldiers could be vaguely discerned, their sheer multitude enough to make one's scalp crawl. Waves of shrill ghostly wails rang out, encompassing the voices of men, women, old, and young. Ghostly figures crowded the area, their ceaseless wails sounding as if tens of thousands of ghostly entities were crying simultaneously. Having resided in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sea Domain for over a century and subdued a vast number of ghostly entities, Ye Haitang possessed a significant advantage fighting in this location.

The green-robed elder's features twisted, and his face turned pale. He felt his head was about to explode, dizzy and disoriented. This was the high-tier spell, "Ten Thousand Ghosts Worship Immortal." Had the ghostly entities been of a sufficiently high rank, he would have instantly perished. A loud whooshing sound preceded a gleaming white bone hammer, which descended from the sky, hurtling towards the green-robed elder. With a shriek, the green-robed elder, along with his green shield, plummeted towards the sea.

Multicolor ghostly flames assailed him from all directions, threatening to reduce the green-robed elder to ashes. The green-robed elder swiftly conjured a shimmering green orb and infused it with a spell. Following mournful ghostly wails, the green orb radiated blinding green light, enveloping him. Though the dense ghostly flames struck the green light, it only dimmed slightly. Ghostly wails sounded again, and five house-sized skull heads flew in from all directions, opening their gaping maws and biting at the green light. The green light, thin as paper, was torn to shreds. A man's pained shriek pierced the air as the green-robed elder was instantly torn to pieces by the five colossal skull heads.

A green light gleamed from the pile of torn flesh, and a miniature Nascent Soul shot out. However, before it could fly far, a shimmering black net descended from the sky, ensnaring it. Countless black runes shimmered on the net's surface, which was also adorned with numerous miniature skull heads. Ghostly wails echoed as hundreds of miniature skull heads each spat out a thin black thread, entangling the miniature Nascent Soul's body and rendering it immobile. The black net rapidly shrank, flying back into Ye Haitang's hand.

With the assistance of the Thousand Bone Human Devil, combined with her eighteen Heavenly Ghost Banners, the green-robed elder was simply no match for Ye Haitang. The green-robed elder lacked all favorable conditions—heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony—making him naturally no match for Ye Haitang. With an earth-shattering roar, the sea churned, raising towering waves over three thousand meters high.
