A war broke out between the Netherworld Nine Purgatories and the cultivators under Sky Ghost's command.
This war took place not long after Jin Yan had warned Qin Lang. Although the Netherworld Nine Purgatories' forces were developing rapidly, Sky Ghost's forces were not developing slowly either. In fact, it could even be said to be quite fast. Not only had its own strength improved by leaps and bounds, but the forces under it had also rapidly strengthened. Therefore, it was inevitable that these two forces would clash.
For the forces of the Netherworld Nine Purgatories and Sky Ghost, this was nothing more than a small-scale war. Both sides dispatched roughly the same number of people, but in the end, the Netherworld Nine Purgatories had the upper hand. This was because the members of the Netherworld Nine Purgatories fought with their lives on the line, while the subordinates of Sky Ghost lacked this kind of ferocity. This was probably because Sky Ghost's subordinates were not unafraid of death. Both sides were very strong, but morale and the concept of fighting to the death were the keys to victory. In this aspect, the Netherworld Nine Purgatories clearly had the advantage.
In this battle, the Netherworld Nine Purgatories lost 38 people, while Sky Ghost lost 57 people. Speaking of which, it was a little funny. The subordinates of Sky Ghost were clearly more afraid of death, but the number of deaths was higher. It could be seen that in a battle between two armies, only the brave would emerge victorious. The more one was afraid of death, the easier it was to die.
The Netherworld Nine Purgatories had won slightly, but Qin Lang did not give the order to follow up their victory. Instead, he continued to bide his time. At the same time, he sent the dead members of the Netherworld Nine Purgatories into the cycle of life and death. Every member of the Netherworld Nine Purgatories was a very precious treasure and resource for Qin Lang. If it was not necessary, Qin Lang absolutely did not want to lose any of them.
This was especially true for the Destiny Overlords of the Yellow Springs Nine Hells. Any one of these Destiny Overlords represented the entire universe they were in. Not only could they mobilize most of the Yuan Qi and resources of the universe they were in, but they could also gather the faith of all living beings in the universe. Whether it was the vitality of a universe or the faith of the living beings in the universe, they were all intangible wealth. The strength of the Netherworld Nine Purgatories and Qin Lang was based on the accumulation of these Destiny Overlords.
Interestingly, Sky Ghost did not rush to take revenge on Qin Lang even though Qin Lang had chosen to bide his time. It seemed to be waiting for something, or perhaps Sky Ghost had not completely broken free and needed some time to prepare. Regardless of the reason, Sky Ghost seemed to be able to keep his composure. This surprised White Lotus, Golden Flame, and the others. They had originally believed that Sky Ghost would definitely not be able to keep his composure. Based on Sky Ghost's usual arrogance, he would definitely immediately take revenge after learning that his subordinates had been defeated and killed by the Netherworld Nine Purgatories. This was because Sky Ghost's ferocious reputation was built on his madness and cruelty. However, Sky Ghost's reaction this time was shocking.
Sky Ghost did not immediately retaliate against the Netherworld Nine Purgatories and Qin Lang. Perhaps there were some reasons that outsiders did not know, but to Qin Lang, this was the most normal reaction. This was because in the Crimson Void, the only ones who could truly threaten Sky Ghost were Qin Lang and the Netherworld Nine Purgatories. Other than that, there was almost nothing else that could threaten Sky Ghost. Therefore, to Sky Ghost, if the Netherworld Nine Purgatories and Qin Lang were not strong enough, it would naturally kill the threat in the cradle. However, the key point was that the Netherworld Nine Purgatories and Qin Lang were already fully fledged. Moreover, after a small-scale battle, Sky Ghost should have also figured out the strength of Qin Lang and the Netherworld Nine Purgatories. Therefore, as long as Sky Ghost was not truly crazy, it would know how to make the most suitable choice for itself.
Before Sky Ghost had absolute strength to suppress it, it probably would not engage in a decisive battle with Qin Lang and the Netherworld Nine Purgatories because it was not in line with its own interests. At present, Sky Ghost might not have completely broken free, and its strength might not have reached its peak. If it were to fight Qin Lang to the death at this time, it would be like taking an uncertain risk. Instead of that, it would be better to continue to accumulate strength and strengthen itself and its subordinates. Finally, it would have a decisive battle with Qin Lang and the Netherworld Nine Purgatories to determine the winner.
And before the decisive battle with Qin Lang and the Netherworld Nine Purgatories, the most suitable choice for Sky Ghost was to break free, enhance its strength, and raise the strength of itself and its subordinates to the peak. At the same time, it would destroy some existences and forces that did not obey its orders. Most of Sky Ghost's subordinates were obtained through its ferocious reputation and cruel methods. These fellows had once served other forces, but now they had all become Sky Ghost's subordinates.
Sky Ghost's ability to use battle to nurture battle could indeed allow it to accumulate a very powerful force in a short period of time. In this aspect, even Qin Lang was inferior. This was because Sky Ghost knew that many high-level lifeforms' will clones had built nests in the lower planes of the universe. The nests built by these high-level lifeforms' avatars gathered a huge amount of yuan qi and various cultivation resources, as well as many minions. After Sky Ghost killed or defeated the avatars of these high-level lifeforms, not only would its yuan qi and strength increase, but it would also obtain a group of powerful subordinates. This was naturally the best thing for Sky Ghost.
In fact, Qin Lang had been searching for the nests of high-level lifeforms in the lower planes of the universe, and he had also obtained some substantial gains, such as Limitless Imperial City. Although Qin Lang had also obtained a lot of benefits, it was far from what Sky Ghost had plundered. This was because the will avatars of high-level lifeforms were not fools. They would not easily expose their nests, especially when they knew that Qin Lang could pose a huge threat to them. Even for Qin Lang, it was not easy to find a high-level creature's nest. Destroying a high-level creature's nest required a meticulous plan and a lot of effort. However, Sky Ghost was constantly destroying the nests of high-level lifeforms with a much greater efficiency than Qin Lang. It seemed like Sky Ghost had a way to easily find the nests of high-level lifeforms. As for what method Sky Ghost used, Qin Lang did not know.
