Chapter 3208: The Frustrated True Lord of the Heavenly Corpse

Peak of Green Lotus

He acquired this set of treasures from the Myriad Spirits Abyss in his early years. The Ghost King was merely at the Void Refinement stage then, and it took him a significant amount of time and effort to cultivate it to the Integration stage.

As True Monarch Heavenly Corpse changed his incantation, the nine Myriad Ghost Banners instantly surged with dark light. A series of shrill ghost wails emanated from them, and vast amounts of Yin energy surged forth. Numerous ghost figures, numbering over a hundred thousand, became visible. Besides an Integration-stage Ghost King, there were also eight Void Refinement-stage ghosts and over a hundred Spirit Transformation-stage ghosts.

With this set of treasures, he had slain two Integration-stage foreign cultivators during the racial war. However, his renown was not as great as that of the Green Lotus Immortal Couple.

The Ghost King resembled an ape in appearance, with a pair of black fleshy wings on its back. Its Yin energy soared to the sky.

The Ghost King roared to the sky, emitting an extremely shrill ghost wail. The other ghosts quickly followed suit.

All ten thousand ghosts wailed in unison!

The higher the cultivation stage of the ghosts and the greater their number, the more formidable their power.

Upon hearing the cacophony of wailing ghosts, Wang Ruyan felt a slight discomfort.

Over a hundred thousand ghosts simultaneously cast spells to attack Jadeheng Island. At the same time, the refined corpse also pounced towards Jadeheng Island, smashing its arms against the blue water curtain.

With the refined corpse's powerful physique, even mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures would find it difficult to cause injury.

The blue water curtain rippled, and Jadeheng Island shook slightly.

Considering that Wang Ruyan possessed the Vermilion Bird Vase, these ghosts did not spray ghost fire to attack the formation, as it would be useless.

Wang Ruyan gently flicked her wrist, and a golden light flew out. It was Wang Chan.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately activated her Dharma Idol and sprayed out Soul-Fixing Prohibiting Light, attacking the ghosts.

Once a ghost touched the Soul-Fixing Prohibiting Light, it lost all resistance and was devoured by Wang Chan. No ghost below the Integration stage could withstand her.

True Monarch Heavenly Corpse's face darkened. Immortal Fairy Sky Lyre was more troublesome than he had imagined. He quickly conjured a small, black gleaming seal, infused it with an incantation, and watched as its size rapidly swelled, instantly growing enormous, before it smashed towards Jadeheng Island.

The refined corpse and the Ghost King intensified their attacks, causing Jadeheng Island to shake violently.

Wang Ruyan raised her right hand, and a golden light flew out. It was the Golden Crow Lamp. She infused it with an incantation, and a crow's caw sounded as the lampwick shone brightly. A wave of golden flames swept forth, and after a blur, transformed into two large golden crows.

Sensing the terrifying high temperature emanating from the golden crows, True Monarch Heavenly Corpse's expression changed. Just as he was about to command his forces to evade, a strange cry rang out, and True Monarch Heavenly Corpse's brows furrowed.

The Soul-Devouring Toad's soul attack was indeed troublesome. Seizing this opportune moment, the golden fire crows arrived before the Ghost King and the refined corpse.

From the Ghost King's eyes, two black lights shot out, striking the golden fire crows. The golden fire crows' bodies burst apart, transforming into a vast expanse of golden flames that engulfed the Ghost King.

The refined corpse moved its arms, shattering the golden crows. Golden flames then engulfed the refined corpse's body.

They all let out agonizing cries, and wreaths of green smoke rose from their bodies. If it had been true Golden Crow True Fire, they would have died long ago. Even a mere wisp of Golden Crow True Fire was something they could not withstand.

Wang Ruyan flicked her sleeve, and two small, golden gleaming mirrors flew out. She infused each with an incantation, and the mirror surfaces lit up with dazzling golden lightning. Each mirror then sprayed out a thick golden bolt of lightning, striking the refined corpse and the ghosts.

With a thunderous roar, the Ghost King let out a miserable shriek. Its body became translucent and flickering, and its aura withered.

A green guillotine saber shot forth, with a miniature green flood dragon visible on its blade; it was the Green Flood Dragon Guillotine. The green guillotine saber swept across the Ghost King's body, slicing it in two.

After letting out a tragic cry, the Ghost King transformed into a pale black orb and plummeted towards the seabed.

The Wang family had acquired many treasures during the racial war. Even relying on external artifacts, an ordinary Integration-stage cultivator was no match for Wang Ruyan.

True Monarch Heavenly Corpse's face turned ashen. With his Integration-stage refined corpse and ghosts, even major strongholds of foreign races could not stop him. He had initially believed that dealing with the Wang family this time would not pose much danger, but who would have thought that Wang Ruyan would possess so many treasures that countered ghosts and refined corpses?

The refined corpse let out agonizing roars, thrashing its limbs wildly. A charred scent emanated from its body.

A faint blue sound wave swept over, passing through the refined corpse's body. The refined corpse merely swayed slightly. A refined corpse was inherently a dead object; even with shattered internal organs, it would not affect its movements. If it were a cultivator or a demonic beast, shattered internal organs would mean instant death.

The Green Flood Dragon Guillotine struck the refined corpse's head, producing a clang. A long gash was visible. The physical body of an Integration-stage refined corpse was formidable, and taking a direct hit from a mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure was not an issue.

The refined corpse's right claw swatted away the Green Flood Dragon Guillotine. Two thick golden bolts of lightning then struck the refined corpse, causing it to let out a miserable cry.

A golden light flashed, and a glittering golden bell appeared out of thin air. Lifelike Buddha statues could be seen on its surface; it was the Heavenly Buddha Bell.

A loud Buddhist chant resonated, and the Heavenly Buddha Bell descended, covering the refined corpse.

The Buddhist chants echoed, reverberating throughout heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Buddha Bell shook violently.

"A Buddhist treasure!"

True Monarch Heavenly Corpse's expression drastically changed. Had he known earlier that Wang Ruyan possessed a Buddhist treasure, he would never have dared to harass the Wang family.

True Monarch Heavenly Corpse had long lost all will to fight. He swiftly formed an incantation seal, and the nine Myriad Ghost Banners surged with spiritual light. He collected the remaining ghosts, and a cloud of black Yin energy enveloped him as he flew towards the sky.

He was filled with deep regret. Any other Integration-stage cultivator would have long been slain by him, but all the treasures Wang Ruyan possessed countered him. If the fight continued, True Monarch Heavenly Corpse would gain no advantage. His priority was to flee.

As for Venerable Heavenly Fiend, True Monarch Heavenly Corpse believed in 'every man for himself' and left him to fend for himself.

The flute music grew more intense, as if a thousand armies were clashing in battle. True Monarch Heavenly Corpse felt the scene before him grow blurry, and his mind became disoriented.

"Not good, an illusion!"

His expression changed, and he quickly circulated his magic power. Only then did he feel slightly better.

His cultivation was higher than Wang Ruyan's, so Wang Ruyan would not be able to quickly trap him in an illusion for a short while.

A celestial melody resonated, and a faint blue giant palm shot forth. Numerous arcane musical notes could be seen on the palm's surface.

True Monarch Heavenly Corpse had no way to evade. The spiritual light on his body surged. His fingers became long and slender, his body grew taller, his eyes widened, and his cheeks shriveled, transforming him into a refined corpse form.

A yellow light curtain appeared out of thin air, protecting his entire body.

The humanoid phantom above True Monarch Heavenly Corpse's head sprayed out a faint yellow sound wave, meeting the attack.

The yellow sound wave collided with the blue giant palm and instantly disintegrated.

A golden light flashed, and a massive golden crow appeared above True Monarch Heavenly Corpse's head, emitting terrifying high temperatures.

Just as he was about to cast a spell to resist, the Soul-Devouring Toad let out another strange roar.

The golden crow crashed into True Monarch Heavenly Corpse's Dharma Idol, and a sheet of golden flames engulfed both True Monarch Heavenly Corpse and his Dharma Idol.

The blue giant palm plunged into the sea of fire, and a muffled thud was heard, immediately followed by a man's miserable shriek. True Monarch Heavenly Corpse flew out of the sea of fire, his body charred black and his eyes wide open. The next moment, a miniature Nascent Soul flew out of his body.

True Monarch Heavenly Corpse had already used all common body-substituting treasures available on the market. He had no high-grade body-substituting treasures left. With his physical body destroyed, his Nascent Soul could only escape his body.
