Chapter 865: Chapter 133: Departure, Hunt the Ghost Race, Crushing All Obstacles! (Part 2)

With the enhancement of the Celestial Profound Spirit Armor, not weak at all.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun formed a spell with his hands, streams of spirit light shot towards the long spear!

The short spear started to fly around the room, occasionally flashing with arcs of thunder,

The power emanating from it made Zhou Xun involuntarily alarmed!

Yet, the streams of spirit light Zhou Xun released could do nothing against this long spear!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun’s eyes flickered with purple light, his heart stirred,

He opened his mouth, and seventy-two thunder seeds flowed out, distributed throughout the room!

Zhou Xun formed a spell with his hands and pointed towards the thunder seeds!

A great burst of light, these thunder seeds suddenly transformed, turning into thin strands of thunder,

Which then intertwined with each other,

Forming an extremely dense thunder net, enveloping the entire room!

"Go!"

Pointing towards the nimble flying long spear!

The thunder net instantly began to shrink,

The space for the long spear to move became smaller and smaller, eventually being wrapped by the thunder net, layer upon layer!

Directly forming into a blue sphere!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun was overjoyed!

He cast spells towards it,

The originally vibrating blue sphere instantly calmed down!

Taking the sphere in hand, he slowly injected mana, beginning the refinement. However, to his dismay,

No matter what, he couldn’t penetrate into the core of this treasure, there was a force of rejection inside, blocking his refinement!

Of course, this is merely a rootless magical treasure, forced refinement is not impossible,

But it’s very likely to damage the ’spirit’ inside,

Which is the most critical element for the treasure to advance to a spirit treasure,

After much consideration, Zhou Xun ultimately gave up on this idea.

"Well, I’ll try to control this treasure after my cultivation advances higher!"

Immediately, Zhou Xun took out a jade box, placed the sphere inside, then applied a sealing spirit talisman, storing it in his storage bag.

...

The next morning, Zhou Xun exited the cultivation room,

As for Xiaojin and Xiaojia, the two spirit beasts, they stayed in his spirit beast bag, when he needed them,

Zhou Xun would naturally summon them,

Not to mention the Soul-Devouring Beast Cyan Ape resting inside the small banner, which is the nemesis of a Tier Four Ghost King,

However, Zhou Xun did not intend to summon it easily,

After all, the destructiveness of the Cyan Ape is too great,

Once released, it would devour the entire Ghost King, and he came here to accumulate ghost pearls, earn battle merits, and exchange for that "Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng".

If the Cyan Ape devoured them all, what would happen to his battle merits?

Upon reaching outside, he saw Wang Erniu and True Monarch Tianci were already waiting.

"Big Brother, you’re out, let’s set off!"

Immediately, the three of them walked together towards the outside of the base camp,

A moment later, they had walked out of the range of the base camp,

"According to Alliance Leader Yu, after leaving the base camp, heading west, ten thousand miles away is the outermost area of the Ghostly Mist Land!"

Wang Erniu said.

"Just right to test my newly acquired flying treasure!" True Monarch Tianci said, patting his waist,

A white light flashed,

A long shuttle over ten feet in length, about two feet in width in the middle, streamlined, appeared in front of them,

"Let’s go!"

True Monarch Tianci jumped on it first, followed by Zhou Xun and Wang Erniu,

The flying shuttle transformed into a red spirit light, disappearing in an instant.

"Daoist Brother, this flying shuttle’s speed is indeed extremely fast!" Zhou Xun remarked.

"Yes, the speed is three tenths faster than before," True Monarch Tianci was very pleased with this new flying treasure.

Half an hour later,

A dark line appeared far off in the distance, stretching from left to right, seemingly endless,

As they approached closer,

The dark line became clearer, it turned out to be a mist like a faint black smoke,

Judging by its density, it was thinner than the ghost mist that appeared in the Eastern Wilderness back then,

"This is the edge of the ghost mist, everyone be careful." Zhou Xun said with a serious expression, while mobilizing spiritual power within himself, forming a faint mana light shield on his body’s surface,

Thunder light flickered above,

Wang Erniu also gripped the sphere in his hand, ready to activate at any moment!

True Monarch Tianci controlled the Flying Shuttle, gradually reducing speed as they approached the edge of the Ghostly Mist.

Meanwhile, below everyone, faint silhouettes could be seen flying slowly inside,

most of whom were at the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation level, forming teams of over a dozen under the leadership of a Core Formation Cultivator, heading inside.

It was very clear,

these were teams heading to hunt the Ghost Race,

for the Human Race Cultivators, the Ghost Tribe invasion was both a major calamity for their Human Realm,

yet, with the top forces jointly establishing a Secret Vault to exchange battle merits,

these ghosts simultaneously became opportunities for these cultivators,

as long as you earned enough battle merits, spirit stones, treasures, and elixirs, everything was available, including spiritual objects for realm-breaking,

even strategic spiritual objects like Crystal Condensing Pills and Nascent Soul Pills,

were still on the list,

and to ensure the benefits for Low-Tier Cultivators, the main camp specifically stipulated that cultivators could only exchange for treasures corresponding to their cultivation level,

in other words,

a Nascent Soul Cultivator who wanted to exchange for a Nascent Soul Pill would not be allowed.

Only Core Formation Cultivators can exchange for them,

thus ensuring that the quantity of Nascent Soul Pills wouldn’t deplete too quickly and could benefit all Core Formation Cultivators,

this strategy indeed benefited many Core Formation Cultivators,

in just the last five years, the West Desert Front has seen the emergence of at least seventy Nascent Soul Cultivators.

As for newly formed Core Formation Cultivators, their numbers are even greater!

As the Flying Shuttle approached the Ghostly Mist, the mist seemed to sense it and began to churn violently,

Zhou Xun’s body began to emit a "sizzling" sound, a result of the Thunder Light and Ghostly Mist eroding each other.

At this moment,

Wang Erniu patted and produced a pearl, then tossed it above his head,

"Boom"

a soft explosion sounded,

a cyan mist instantly expanded, enveloping Zhou Xun and the others within. In the mist, threads of Buddhist Power flowed, repelling the ghostly mist and isolating them from it,

immediately relieving them!

"Indeed, this treasure can block the erosion of the ghostly mist, let’s go inside and take a look," Wang Erniu said.

Along the way, occasionally one or two Low-Tier Ghost Race figures would surge out from the mist,

their forms illusory but extremely fast, baring their claws as they lunged toward the mist.

Zhou Xun snorted coldly, sending out a few bolts of thunder that instantly reduced them to ash!

"These low-level ghosts are just probing us, everyone stay vigilant," Zhou Xun reminded.

The Flying Shuttle continued deeper into the mist, the further they went in, the denser the mist became, visibility was extremely low, and the suppression on Divine Sense became stronger,

only able to probe one-third of the original distance!

Zhou Xun then activated his "Spirit Rhinoceros Cyan Light Pupil," instantly taking in the scene within a hundred miles ahead,

"Indeed, choosing to advance this divine ability to the second layer in advance was the right strategy!"

...

"Brother Xu, you go first, if we’re late both of us will be trapped here!" Lan Yanping raised his spear again, blocking the deadly move of the Ghost King opposite!

"Brother Lan, we’ve known each other for a hundred years, how could I leave alone!" Xu Ziling shook his head.

"Moreover, with that Tier Four Ghost King, even if we wanted to escape, I fear it wouldn’t be possible!"

"Who would’ve thought, the Demon Race didn’t kill us when they attacked the island, but today we’ll die at the hands of these ghosts!" Lan Yanping laughed at himself.

If Zhou Xun were here, he would recognize,

the two were the subordinates of True Monarch Iron Mountain stationed on Ringless Island back then,

after the reconciliation between the Human and Demon Races, they were drafted to the West Desert and have been there ever since!

No one expected that today they’d be caught in a Ghost Race trap, surrounded by three Tier Three Ghost Kings and eyed by a Tier Four Ghost King!

"Hahaha, Brother Lan, with the number of Tier Three Ghost Kings we’ve killed, we’ve already earned our keep!"

"You two young friends of the Human Race, if you are willing to surrender to our race, I can guarantee your safety!"

At this time, the Tier Four Ghost Race spoke.

"Surrender?"

"Hahaha... what a joke, I, a dignified Human Race Core Formation, how could I surrender to a mere ghost!" Lan Yanping sneered, then launched a spear,

attacking the Tier Four Ghost King!

"Seeking death!"

The Ghost King waved its hand,

a large black hand instantly caught the spear, snapping it easily, breaking it in two,

as his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure was damaged, Lan Yanping’s face turned pale, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"Brother Xu, let’s fight side by side in the next life!"

Just as the two thought they were doomed,

a bolt of purple Thunder Light traversed thousands of feet, suddenly appearing in front of everyone!
