Chapter 2743: Treasure Shows Its Power

She wouldn't be afraid of an ordinary Integration-stage cultivator, but an Integration-stage Buddhist cultivator was a different story.

Above the black-robed young woman's head, the void rippled, and a large, hazy blue hand appeared out of thin air, slapping towards her.

At the same time, Wang Ruyan conjured the Sky Buddha Bell, making it float in front of her, and channeled a magical incantation into it.

"Clang, clang, clang!" A series of resonant bell chimes rang out. The Sky Buddha Bell unleashed a hazy golden sound wave that shot directly towards the black-robed young woman, shattering low mountains in its path.

Centered around the black-robed young woman, countless blue water mists emerged within a ten-mile radius. The void vibrated and distorted as a powerful pressure assailed her from all directions.

The black-robed young woman snorted coldly and let out a piercing, ear-splitting ghostly wail that resonated for ten thousand miles around. The blue water mists exploded, and the pressure vanished.

The black-robed young woman flicked her sleeve, sending a black-glowing command flag flying out. The flag emanated powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, its surface covered with numerous grotesque ghostly faces that continuously emitted shrill ghostly wails.

She channeled a magical incantation into it, and the black flag instantly burst with blinding black light, spinning in place and unleashing countless yin qi. A large number of grotesque ghosts appeared, exhibiting various horrific forms and letting out diverse screams. There were as many as twenty Void Refinement-stage ghosts and several hundred Soul Transformation-stage ghosts.

This was the Mid-grade Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure, the Heavenly Ghost Flag. It had hundreds of thousands of ghosts refined into it, and she had used it to slay Integration-stage cultivators before.

"So many ghosts refined!" Wang Changsheng laughed instead of getting angry. Now his Soul-Devouring Golden Cicadas could feast once more.

Wang Ruyan dared not be careless. The Water Ripples Lock on her chest shone with dazzling blue light, and a thick blue water curtain appeared out of thin air, shielding her entire body.

Hundreds of thousands of ghosts simultaneously let out mournful wails, which resounded for hundreds of thousands of miles around.

Wang Ruyan's body went limp, her face turned pale, she felt dizzy and disoriented, her entire body became hot, and her breathing grew rapid.

Wang Changsheng chanted an incantation, and the Golden Roc Pendant on his chest glowed brightly. A golden light curtain appeared out of thin air, covering both him and Wang Ruyan. Only then did Wang Ruyan feel a bit better.

Even with the Golden Roc Pendant, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan still felt some discomfort.

Master Miaode was completely unaffected. His body radiated brilliant Buddhist light, emanating a golden Buddha glow. A gigantic golden Buddha phantom floated high in the sky, shimmering with spiritual light.

His Dharma Idol was seven-tenths condensed, using a material called Golden Radiance Sand. Golden Radiance Sand was even more advanced than Golden Adamantine Crystal; even within the Heavenly Buddha Sect, few Buddhist cultivators could use it to condense their Dharma Idols. This material was quite rare, and using it to condense a Dharma Idol significantly enhanced a Buddhist cultivator's strength.

Precisely because of this, Master Miaode dared to charge into the beast horde alone.

"Master Miaode, let us handle these ghosts!" Wang Changsheng transmitted his voice to Master Miaode.

Master Miaode nodded. He chanted an incantation, and the golden Buddha phantom's right hand slapped towards the void. The void rippled, and a shimmering golden hand appeared above the black-robed young woman's head. Before it even descended, a loud Sanskrit chant echoed, and a powerful pressure enveloped her.

The black-robed young woman's body erupted with black light, and a black aura swept out, enveloping the golden hand and preventing it from descending.

A black light flew out from her, transforming into a gigantic wraith phantom over a hundred zhang tall. A significant portion of its body shimmered with black light.

The golden hand's spiritual light greatly intensified, and the black aura shattered. The wraith phantom opened its mouth and spat out a stream of black ghost fire, which met the golden hand.

With a booming sound, the golden hand shattered the black ghost fire and shot directly towards the wraith phantom. The wraith phantom moved its arms, meeting the attack and grappling with the golden hand.

The golden hand was engulfed by the black ghost fire and slowly dissipated.

A stream of golden flames descended from the sky, landing on the wraith phantom and causing a puff of green smoke to rise.

The black-robed young woman chanted an incantation, and the wraith phantom's body erupted with dark light, causing the golden flames to dissipate.

Master Miaode frowned. This was the first time such a situation had occurred; a divine ability that was always effective against ghosts was actually suppressed by one? The opponent's Dharma Idol material was problematic.

"Styx River Water!" Wang Changsheng's expression darkened. The black-robed young woman actually used Styx River Water to condense her Dharma Idol, which truly surprised him.

"Master Miaode! Her Dharma Idol is condensed with Styx River Water; you'll need a true Buddhist spiritual flame to destroy it," Wang Changsheng transmitted his voice.

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of ghosts swarmed forward, continuously emitting piercing ghostly wails.

Wang Changsheng raised his right hand, and a black light flew out, revealing a black jade seal. Numerous ghostly phantoms could be seen on the seal's surface.

This was the Ten Thousand Ghost Seal, a Mid-grade Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure. Over the years, the Wang family cultivators had captured and stored numerous ghosts within it, though high-level ghosts were not abundant.

The Soul-Devouring Golden Cicadas could handle a few Void Refinement-stage ghosts without issue, but hundreds of thousands of ghosts were beyond their capacity.

Wang Changsheng chanted an incantation, and the Ten Thousand Ghost Seal shone with dazzling dark light, its size rapidly expanding as it simultaneously unleashed a black aura that enveloped the charging ghosts.

"The Ten Thousand Ghost Seal? How is that treasure in your hands!" the black-robed young woman exclaimed in surprise. From her words, it was clear she recognized the treasure.

Knowing the power of this treasure, she was about to command the ghosts to avoid it, when a loud, heaven-shaking roar from a man rang out, making her dizzy and disoriented.

Even she was affected, let alone the ghosts. Lower-tier ghosts immediately let out miserable screams, emitted puffs of green smoke, and turned into yin beads.

Higher-tier ghosts were stunned into unconsciousness, enveloped by the black aura, and drawn into the Ten Thousand Ghost Seal.

Tens of thousands of ghosts were collected by the Ten Thousand Ghost Seal, causing the Heavenly Ghost Flag's spiritual light to dim and the black-robed young woman's expression to turn grim.

Before she could think further, a heaven-shaking Sanskrit chant rang out, and a shimmering golden "卍" symbol flew towards her, carrying a powerful pressure.

The black-robed young woman raised her right arm, and a stream of black flames emerged from her palm, which she slapped towards the "卍" symbol.

With a flash of black light, a hazy black ghost claw appeared out of thin air, entwined with black ghost fire, and met the attack.

With a loud bang, the "卍" symbol shattered the black ghost claw. Seizing this opportunity, the black-robed young woman transformed into a gust of yin wind and vanished from her spot.

The "卍" symbol smashed into a small mountain, which immediately split into pieces. Its destructive power was astonishing.

Wang Changsheng secretly nodded; Master Miaode's strength was beyond his expectations.

He seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around. A black shadow appeared out of thin air: a wraith over ten zhang tall, with a green face, fangs, a blood-red horn on its head, a body covered in black bristles, and a pair of black bird-like wings on its back.

An Integration-stage ghost!

This was the ghost Jiang Feng had seen, but his cultivation was low, so he dared not approach for a closer look. He only knew that there was an Integration-stage ghost in this area.

As soon as the wraith appeared, the nearby void rippled.

Its arms moved, striking towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's right arm glowed with dazzling blue light, meeting the attack. At the same time, a blue eyeball appeared on his glabella—it was the Glazed True Eye.

The Glazed True Eye emitted Glazed Divine Light, striking the wraith.
