The ghostly lords not only used their own Natal Flying Swords, immortal techniques, and Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth to attack Shi Xuan, but also merged with Shi Xuan. They planned to kill Shi Xuan in one blow, and then escape into the main hall or guard the gates of the imperial palace. This would prevent them from having to re-use their escape techniques to kill Shi Xuan from afar, wasting time. Of course, if not for the fact that the gates of the main hall were locked down by a powerful force, things would have been much simpler.
The pale and gloomy sword light seemed to be condensed by countless tiny Sword Qi. They transformed into a world of white bones. It was cold, murderous, deadly, fierce, and sharp. It seemed to be able to cut apart any obstacle in front of it, including space and Spiritual Qi. Therefore, it was as fast as lightning and took the lead. It was about to cross the short distance in a blink and hit Shi Shuan.
But at this moment, the nine black, gloomy three-headed dragons that were slightly behind suddenly turned their heads. The three dragon heads of death, resentment, and devouring opened up at the same time. The desolate and dim aura of death, the resentful light that was like boiling pitch-black water, and the gloomy and deep devouring black hole all attacked the White Bone Killing Sword at the same time. Wherever it passed, it would either wither and die, or boil with resentment, or be directly devoured and turned into nothingness.
"If the White Bone Sword Lord kills that kid in one blow, and then enters the main hall to get a Tier 6, Tier 7, or even Tier 8 secret treasure, then I'll be in big trouble." Seeing the distance between him and the White Bone Sword Lord widening, the Soul Eater Ghostly Lord felt that he could not keep up with the White Bone Slayer Sword's speed, and with that thought in mind, he attacked without hesitation. He planned to catch him off guard, and then rush ahead.
Faced with the full force of the Soul Eater Ghostly Lord's attack, the White Bone Slayer Sword had to slow its advance towards Shi Xuan. But he was prepared. Sword light flickered, and sword qi burst forth. White Bone was sharp, and it cut down three of the nine black three-headed dragons, and stopped the other six. But the difference in strength between the two was not great. Unless the White Bone Sword Lord wanted his life, he would not be able to escape in an instant, and the Soul Eater Ghostly Lord's plan was foiled.
After that, the entire Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth seemed to be left with only the mountainous fist of Giant Miracle Ghostly Lord. But a thick mace swept out from the side.
The two clashed violently, and a needle-like black dot appeared at the point of contact. It expanded rapidly, and even blocked the huge green ghostly claw.
"What kind of joke is this? The others are all entering the palace to plunder treasures. Even if I fall behind a little, I still have a chance. But if I let you rush to the front and guard the gate, I will be able to hold the pass alone against ten thousand enemies, and then endure until my cultivation base recovers, then everything will be over." Mountain Shaking Ghost Lord Gu Luo gritted his teeth.
… …
Shi Xuan, who was pushing the door with the Six Paths of Reincarnation, was well aware of the situation behind him. He knew that he had used the Six Paths of Reincarnation in advance, and the ghostly lords would be prepared. There would not be a situation where one of them would rush over first. Instead, they would hold each other back for a while, and no one would be able to overtake the other. After all, he was only a Three Tribulation Yang God Venerable, and not a Heavenly Immortal True Lord. That way, he would have a chance of survival in the midst of great danger.
However, Shi Xuan did not dare to be careless. No matter how much they held each other back, they were still powerful figures. Just the shockwaves from their immortal arts would be enough to make him suffer. However, he was currently stuck in the Wheel of Hell on the door, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation could not be interrupted. Moreover, his entire Yuan Spirit was occupied, so he could not use other immortal arts. He could only use the Zi Ying Sword and the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers of Heaven and Earth.
A streak of bright violet sword light flew out, and Shi Xuan's surroundings, which were protected by strands of Xuanhuang qi, immediately dimmed. It was as if night had fallen. Following that, stars lit up one after another. There were the seven mansions of the Azure Dragon, the seven mansions of the White Tiger, the Canopy, the Yinghuo, the Big Dipper, the Baihong, the Heavenly Spirits, and the Earthly Fiends. They formed a vast and beautiful starry sky, and there were five Imperial Myrtle Stars. They were all one with the surrounding stars, mysterious and profound.
The Diagram of Mountains and Rivers of Heaven and Earth floated behind Shi Xuan's head. The Primordial Thunderstorm Sky and the Glacier Continent appeared together, and the power of the grotto-heaven was added to the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Formation, making it seem more like a world of stars.
The black door slowly retreated. It was abnormally heavy, and the sound of it grinding against the ground was ear-piercing. It did not sound like an immortal palace, but more like a heavy iron door of the human world.
"Just a little more." Seeing the tiny gap that was about to appear, Shi Xuan held his breath and waited. If the five ghostly lords behind him had not reached him before that happened, then everything would be fine.
Unfortunately, things often did not go according to plan. Although the ghostly lords were fighting each other, their attention was completely focused on the changes to the black door. They would not let Shi Xuan in.
In the two or three moments that passed, Gu Luo, the Mountain Shaking Ghostly Lord, unexpectedly made it to the front. However, he was only ahead by a little, and the attacks behind him were endless.
A smaller mace suddenly split off from his fused mace and smashed towards Shi Xuan, while his main body swept backwards to block the other four ghostly lords.
Although it was a little smaller, the mace was still thousands of zhang long. With slivers of the power of the great dao, it smashed down on the vast starry sky.
Violent ripples appeared in the starry sky, as if the end of the world had come. In an instant, the Zi Ying Sword let out a mournful wail, and the starry sky disappeared. The stars shattered, turning into dim violet light that flew back into Shi Xuan's Yuan Spirit.
A Heavenly Immortal True Lord's avatar was already so powerful. Shi Xuan's Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Formation at full power and the peak Zi Ying Sword, a Three Tribulation Pure Yang treasure, could only block it for a moment.
If it were not for the fact that the Zi Ying Sword was a flying sword at the Second Heaven's Blight, it probably would have lost its soul and shattered from the strike. Even with that being the case, it was heavily injured. It would need at least seventy or eighty years to recover.
After breaking through the Minor Heavenly Cycle Star Formation, the huge mace that had split off became much more illusory. However, its power did not diminish, and it continued to hit the strands of Heaven and Earth qi.
The Heaven and Earth Merit Tower, which was already on the verge of dissipating, also only lasted for a moment. Cracks began to appear on the Heaven and Earth qi, and they spread to the tower itself. Very soon, it turned into countless tiny fragments that dissipated in the air.
Even though Shi Xuan had expected this, he could not help but gasp. Was he going to use the Portrait of Virtue now?
But at this moment, the mace that was about to hit the red, green, black, white, and yellow curtain of light hanging down from the Five Elements Cleansing Bell suddenly changed direction, and swung to the side.
An incorporeal and traceless trace of yin qi was forced out of the pervading yin qi by the destructive power of the mace. It was Mangshan Ghostly Lord, who looked like a middle-aged scholar with two pitch-black horns on his head.
He had sworn a karmic oath that he would not attack Shi Xuan before entering the main hall of the palace. Therefore, the Hades Ghostly Emperor's Claw was just for show, and he had dragged it all the way to the end. He had used the Yin Qi Concealment Evasion, and while they were busy blocking each other, he had made a slight detour and rushed over from another direction. He was about to enter the gap where the door to the main hall was about to open.
Who knew that his Yin Qi Concealment Evasion was so famous, and so outstanding in the eyes of the ghostly lords. Therefore, Dang Shan Ghostly Lord, who was already prepared, immediately discovered his tracks. Just as he was about to kill Shi Xuan, he suddenly changed direction to stop him. This was the real threat!
A green ghostly claw reached out from his body and grabbed the mace. After the Minor Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation and the Black and Yellow Merit Pagoda, the mace's power had been reduced by more than half, and it was crushed.
Ka ka ka. An extremely tiny gap finally appeared in the main hall door of the palace, and it was still slowly retreating.
The suction of the Hell Wheel disappeared, and Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit felt lighter. He kept the Five Elements Cleansing Bell, and the purple-green wings unfurled behind him. With a flap, he fled towards the gap.
"Even a grain of rice emits brilliance!" A gloomy, ghastly, and sharp snort resounded in Shi Xuan's ears.
Seeing that Shi Xuan was the first to enter the main hall, the ghostly lords spared a portion of their attention to attack Shi Xuan as they fled towards the gap in the main hall. After all, even though he was a 3rd Tribulation Yang God Immortal, and could be killed easily, but once he got his hands on a high-grade treasure, he would kill anyone who stood in his way. If gods stood in his way, he would kill gods, and if ghosts stood in his way, he would kill ghosts!
Only Giant Miracle Ghostly Lord did not care. He wanted to flee to the door and defend the main hall, but Soul Eater Ghostly Lord, White Bone Sword Lord, and even Mangshan Ghostly Lord were mostly focused on him. How could they let him succeed?
The huge mace, a three-headed dragon of black qi, and a ghastly white sword light all shot out. Among them, the White Bone Slaying Sword's sword light was the fastest. In an instant, it landed on Shi Xuan's purple-green sword light. It was much faster than Shi Xuan's sword light!
The ghastly white sword light turned into an illusory world of white bones of death and slaughter. In an instant, it enveloped Shi Xuan completely. Fierce, razor-sharp White Bone sword qi crisscrossed. Even though Shi Xuan's body was shimmering with purple lightning, and he tried to block it, he was easily sliced apart by countless tiny sword lights, and his body and Primordial Spirit were shredded to pieces.
In an instant, the White Bone Slaying Sword had killed Shi Xuan. The huge mace and black qi that followed had missed, and so they used it to block the White Bone Slaying Sword.
However, after the White Bone Killing Sword retracted its sword light, a pitch-black clay figure appeared in its original place. There were countless sword marks on its body, and it soon broke into pieces and dissipated into light. In front of the gate of the main hall of the Imperial Palace, a slightly dimmer purple-green escape light suddenly appeared. It seemed that even if Shi Shuan used the Virtuous Figure of Evil as a substitute, he still suffered some injuries from the sword qi.
Seeing that Shi Xuan had half a foot in the main hall, the ghostly lords were enraged. They had been tricked by a tiny fly, and might even benefit the most from it. Therefore, they all stopped, and the White Bone Slaying Sword, Vengeful Spirits Devourer Nine Dragons Technique, mace, fists, and so on all flew towards Shi Xuan.
A pity that Shi Xuan was so close to the crack that he could enter in an instant. They were all a step too slow.
But just as Shi Xuan was about to turn into light and fly in, the black rain of death fell from above, covering Shi Xuan. It deliberately avoided Shi Xuan's body, and did not cause any damage. It was just to scare Shi Xuan psychologically. The one who blocked him was Mangshan Ghostly Lord, who knew that Shi Xuan was refining a Secret Treasure of Virtue.
