Chapter 868: Chapter 135: Returning to Xuding to Report Battle Merits, A Huge Harvest!

The Ghost Race formed an array, as ghostly mist surged,

black chains instantly condensed and coiled towards Zhou Xun and the others.

The chains emitted a sinister aura, tempting anyone who glanced at them to fall into its depths!

"Reacting quickly!"

Zhou Xun’s hands swiftly moved to form seals, chanting under his breath. Seventy-two Thunder Seeds suddenly radiated brightly, and thick bolts of thunder erupted from them, clashing with the Ghost Race’s black chains.

A relentless "crackle" filled the air, as thunder intertwined and neutralized ghostly qi. Within moments, the chains of ghostly mist dissipated!

"What kind of divine techniques are these!"

The remaining three Ghost Kings were seized with fear,

the Thunder Cultivator inherently restrained them, and his formidable power shattered their hopes of defeating him.

"Comrades, let’s defend with all our might. Reinforcements will arrive in a quarter of an hour, spelling their doom!"

commanded the lead Tier Four Middle-Grade Ghost King, shouting fiercely.

"Hoosh hoosh!"

The Ghost Race responded promptly, as rolls of black mist formed a massive veil enveloping them all,

emblazoned with runes of formidable defense!

"When did the Ghost Race get such a tough shell, truly troublesome!" Wang Erniu struck with a sword qi, but couldn’t stir even the slightest ripple, cursing aloud in frustration.

"I’ll break their shell first, then proceed as planned," Zhou Xun said calmly,

then crafted a spell with his hands, uttering a command, and pointed directly at the giant black sphere ahead:

"Nine Heavens of Tribulation Thunder!"

Suddenly, dense dark clouds gathered in the sky, filled with flickering thunder light, transmitting an awe-inspiring divine force,

locking onto the massive black sphere below!

This was his simulated Thunder Tribulation divine technique,

whereupon the seventy-two Thunder Seeds burst forth with blazing light, producing thick bolts of thunder out of nowhere.

Sensing the formidable power contained within the void’s thunder light, several Ghost Kings within the shell showed a hint of fear,

"Ang Feishe, this...this seems to be Celestial Thunder!"

"How could mere human cultivators command Celestial Thunder!" It’s a symbol of supreme yang force in nature, which greatly feared by the Ghost Race!

The Middle-Grade Ghost King was thoroughly terrified, trembling, nearly fleeing!

But Zhou Xun would not give them the chance!

Gazing at the massive black sphere below, Zhou Xun pointed lightly,

"Descend!"

In an instant, the gathered Tribulation Thunder in the sky poured down fiercely, bombarding the giant black turtle shell.

The purple Tribulation Thunder was imbued with destructive power, and where it passed, space itself was almost distorted, echoing with a terrifying roar.

Under the relentless assault of Tribulation Thunder, the black turtle shell trembled violently, runes flickered eerily, fiercely resisting.

The thunder had yet to fall, but tiny arcs of lightning already surrounded the black mist, ceaselessly consuming it!

Ripples formed on the ghostly shell from the arc, as screams erupted from inside the array, sounding as though enduring immense pain.

"Boom!"

The first Tribulation Thunder crashed heavily upon the black veil,

the veil erupted in brilliant light, the impact zone instantly shattered.

Amidst the sparkle, countless ghostly qi and thunder forces obliterated each other, scattering as wisps of chaotic energy.

Yet ultimately, it did not breach,

"This veil is truly tough, but let’s see how long it can hold!" Zhou Xun chuckled lightly, but had no expectation of the first Thunder Strike breaching the shell!

Inside, the Ghost Race quivered under the majestic divine power, faces filled with fear,

"Can...can we truly wait for reinforcements?"

"We must, or we will die here!" shouted the leading Middle-Grade Ghost King, then spat out a Ghost Pearl, striking it against the veil above,

the others followed suit, expelling Ghost Pearls, bolstering the veil in hopes it could endure longer!

Outside, Zhou Xun observed the veil below instantly restored to its original state, his brow furrowing slightly,

"Let’s see how long you can hold on!"

His hands manipulated spells, muttering lowly, pointing again at the black sphere!

The second and third strikes followed closely, each strike intensified the veil’s trembles, the rune’s glow dimmed further.

The Ghost Race within the array was utterly terrified, attempted to flee in all directions, only to find themselves trapped, the protective veil turning into their cage!

"Brother, though this veil is strong, it’s barely holding against your Tribulation Thunder!" Wang Erniu declared, sword floating, sword qi ready to strike at any moment!

As True Monarch Tianci commanded nine golden flames, swirling around him, one of the cultivation realm’s three major Spirit Flames—Golden Obscurity True Flame,

though nascent, its potent force was undeniable!

Xiaojin and Xiaojia revealed their true forms,

transforming into a several-feet-long blue-gold Flood Dragon and a two-meter-high Profound Armor Armadillo, they watched intently below, ready to charge in once the veil shattered,

to slay the assigned Tier Four Ghost King!

With sustained Tribulation Thunder attacks, tiny cracks started appearing on the veil!

"Push harder, we’ll break this shell!" Zhou Xun shouted, as the seventh Tribulation Thunder struck fiercely,!

"Crack!" An audible crack sounded, the veil finally succumbed, revealing a massive gap.
