Chapter 188: Chapter 168: The Advent of the Yin Ghost_1
Land of Sin.
This is a desolate realm.
As an Earth Character Realm, its population is still less than that of the Profound Character State.
It boasts vast territories.
Legend has it that there was once a powerful being in the Land of Sin, who nearly achieved immortal certification in the Lower World.
However, because this being cultivated a sinister cultivation technique, he was rejected by the Immortal Domain. Thus, envoys were dispatched to shatter his foundation of Dao as he was about to achieve certification.
The world where his legacy resided was then named the Land of Sin Realm.
Sen Ming Immortal General appeared above this land, taking a step. In the next moment, he found himself on a deserted plain.
On the plain, there was nothing but six enormous bronze pillars!
The bronze pillars were covered with eerie and evil cloud patterns.
They had endured the erosion of countless years.
“Yin Renjie, a peerless Immortal General of his time… Heh heh.”
With a cold laugh, he said,
“Twenty thousand years ago, you pursued the path to immortality and were captured by my Holy Sect. You were imprisoned here with these utmost Yin and sinister bronze pillars. After twenty thousand years… you should have turned into a Yin Ghost by now, right?”
Having finished speaking, he raised his hand.
An edict appeared!
It was the edict of Senluo Immortal Monarch.
The person under the pillars was personally imprisoned by Senluo Immortal Monarch, so as soon as his edict appeared, the pillars instantly loosened and then lifted off the ground!
Sen Ming Immortal General waved his hand and the bronze pillars shrank infinitely small, immediately gathered into his hands.
“Let this world transform into the Blood Domain… Heh heh.”
Sen Ming Immortal General then retreated and disappeared without a trace.
With the repression of the pillars gone, the land suddenly began to tremble.
The ground throbbed with a “boom, boom, boom” sound!
It was as if something was trying to burrow out from beneath!
Before long.
The earth cracked open.
From within the fissure, a ghastly pale skeletal hand suddenly stretched out, grasping the edge of the crack, clawing its way out!
It was an utterly grotesque Yin Ghost!
Its body was almost completely decayed, and in its eye sockets, black corpse water was oozing. As it stood up, its fleshless mouth opened and closed.
“I, Yin Renjie… have emerged…”
Suddenly, from that mouth came a hoarse voice!
“Since I am undying… then in this life, I must achieve the path to immortality!”
“Even as a Yin Ghost, I shall undertake the path to certification with this ghostly form!”
He roared angrily, turning into a gust of yin wind, instantly vanishing.
Before long.
He appeared above a city.
“Death!”
His cold and ferocious voice echoed as he took a deep breath!
In an instant, countless screams filled the city!
“No!”
“What’s happening?”
“Help…”
On the streets, the blood of many walking people was directly siphoned by some force!
The people fell to the ground in agony!
Even the powerful beings of immortal level were unable to resist and were consumed!
All the blood of the city formed a river, flowing into Yin Renjie’s mouth!
At this moment, Yin Renjie’s body suddenly inflated as though it was being pumped with air, and gradually swelled.
His previously decayed and withered body now became filled out again!
A man!
A man brimming with overwhelming Yin Qi.
His eyes were filled entirely with Yin evil and ghostly aura!
“This realm is now mine!”
He continued his rampage of plunder!
…
Meanwhile, in another part of the land.
Land of Blood State.
In this world, there used to exist a notorious forbidden place.
Faceless Mountain!
This mountain has always been a place no one dared to approach.
But now, General Luohao had arrived there.
The peak in front resembled a human head.
A woman’s head.
However, this woman’s head was faceless.
Luohao, with his hair white as frost, took a step and reached the top of the mountain.
At the summit, there was a huge bronze needle embedded!
The bronze needle, too, was inscribed with evil cloud patterns.
“Yu Ji, you betrayed the Immortal Monarch back in the day. The Immortal Monarch stripped you of your features and imprisoned you in the Ancestral Realm. Your entire body was bathed with the blood of all creatures within the realm, and you perished in both body and soul. Even your spirit was refined into a Yin Ghost by this bronze needle!”
“This life, the Immortal Monarch grants you release!”
He spoke coldly as an edict materialized.
Instantly, the bronze needle embedded in the mountain peak shrank to the size of a sewing needle and fell into his hand.
He turned with the needle and left.
The mountain immediately cracked open after him.
Blood gushed out like a burst dam.
The blood turned into a mighty river.
The river surged across the land of this state.
This state was silent; devoid of everything.
All creatures within it had been exterminated more than ten thousand years ago!
“Giggle… giggle giggle…”
Upon the desolate land, amidst the river of blood, a chilling and bizarre laughter broke out.
Following the haunting laughter, a human skin suddenly emerged upon the blood river.
Countless blood streamed into the skin, inflating the shriveled flesh.
Subsequently, the body of an extraordinarily beautiful woman appeared.
With curvaceous hips, a tall figure, a slender waist that can be encircled with a hand, full and straight legs, and towering breasts.
Even a cascade of blood-red hair rapidly grew out.
From behind, she looked like a peerless beauty!
But the next moment, the beauty turned her head.
She… had no face!
“Giggle…”
A ghastly, eerie laughter echoed, as if bidding farewell to this realm.
And then, she left.
Adjoining the Land of Blood State was Huangming Province.
This world was quite small, but compared to the Land of Blood State, it brimmed with vitality.
She arrived at the bank of a small river, where many women were washing clothes.
Suddenly, she squatted by the water, bowed her head, and gazed at her reflection as if she was feeling sorry for herself.
“Miss, what’s wrong? The water here is fast; you should squat further away…”
A woman kindly approached, patted her shoulder, and cautioned her.
She turned her head.
“Ah—”
The woman let out a scream of extreme terror!
In that instant, the woman’s face…suddenly vanished.
And on Yu Ji’s face, the woman’s face suddenly appeared.
The rough, bloated face of the woman looked utterly grotesque juxtaposed with her peerless figure.
“This face…it’s really not nice to look at…”
“Go, find my face for me.”
She spoke.
The woman who had just been screaming in terror suddenly turned around, dazed.
The woman approached two other girls who were also washing clothes and patted their shoulders.
The two girls turned around.
Their faces, too, suddenly disappeared.
At that moment, the face of a young girl appeared on Yu Ji’s face.
She looked at her reflection in the water and smiled faintly.
Though the face wasn’t the most beautiful, her smile possessed the grace to sink fish and tumble geese.
“I will find a face that I like the most.”
She walked step by step toward the crowds, toward the cities.
…
Three days later.
Land of Sin.
Everyone was dead.
In the sky, Yin Renjie was surrounded by rolling clouds of blood.
His aura was terrifyingly boundless!
It took only three days.
He had devoured an entire state’s worth of creatures!
A whole hundred million!
“I need more…”
He stepped into the next realm!
Elsewhere.
Profound Spirit State.
The Profound Spirit State bordered Huangming Province.
And on this day…
The most remote city in Profound Spirit State, Green Brightness City.
“It’s bad, City Lord, outside… outside is swarming with people!”
After receiving the news, the City Lord of Green Brightness City immediately rushed to the city tower.
At a glance, he saw ahead a crowd as dense as a tide.
“What happened?”
The City Lord asked in shock.
The crowd slowly advanced.
“They’re all women?”
Someone exclaimed in shock.
“No, something is wrong… they… they all have no faces?!”
The City Lord of Green Brightness City cried out in horror!
…
Xuan Tianzhou.
“Alliance Hierarch, the state conflicts across the major provinces have mostly been quelled,”
reported a Golden Immortal within the Taiyan Holy Land.
The news that the eight great allied forces had invaded Xuan Tianzhou but were all subdued spread across countless provinces.
For a time, no one dared to covet Xuan Tianzhou.
However, the newly formed Heavenly Realm of Xuan Tianzhou could not fully control it in the short term.
The current Heavenly Realm was simply too vast.
“As long as there is peace, all is well.”
Fire Spirit also nodded in agreement.
“Intensify the search for elites from all provinces; our Xuantian Alliance’s celestial soldiers desperately need to grow stronger!”
She continued.
The original Heavenly Realm had established an army of a hundred thousand celestial soldiers under the direction of the Hall of Celestial Generals.
But compared to the new world formed by tens of thousands of worlds, it was still too few.
They must increase their numbers!
Fortunately, the young talents from the various provinces were also heading towards Xuan Tianzhou.
“Yes, ma’am!”
The Golden Immortal departed.
“Report!”
At that moment, another Golden Immortal hurriedly approached and said:
“The southwest of the Heavenly Realm has seen a hundred and twenty provinces annihilated, creatures suffering beyond measure!”
“The northeast of the Heavenly Realm has experienced strange events in thirty-five provinces, where all the females have lost their faces!”
Upon hearing the two pieces of news, Fire Spirit and others were taken aback.
“Send someone to investigate immediately!”
Fire Spirit ordered at once!
Three days later.
“Report!”
“In the southwest of the Heavenly Realm, a total of seven hundred provinces have been wiped out! Not a single survivor!”
“Report!”
“The northeast of the Heavenly Realm is now facing the ‘Faceless Female Corpse Tide,’ with four hundred provinces falling prey to these bizarre occurrences!”
As the intelligence reports came in, everyone in the Taiyan Holy Land was in an uproar!
At the same time, the news spread swiftly throughout the entire Heavenly Realm!
Within just seven days back-to-back!
Nearly a thousand provinces had either been slaughtered or had experienced inexplicable events!
A tenth of the provinces in the Heavenly Realm!
Suddenly, every province in the Heavenly Realm was overcome with panic!
