Under normal circumstances, the powerful cultivators of the various sacred grounds, grotto-heavens, and blessed-lands were far stronger than normal vengeful ghosts.
If they had all the Dharma artifacts, talismans, and pills, a cultivator from a sacred ground or grotto-heaven could deal with at least five normal vengeful ghosts.
The most powerful cultivators could even fight against 10 vengeful ghosts at the same level as them.
However, the vengeful ghosts that appeared in front of them were not normal Golden Core vengeful ghosts. They were special vengeful ghosts that had been refined.
They either had poisons refined from all kinds of poisonous creatures in the Immeasurable Ancient State, or they had hellfire condensed from the Hellfire Platform.
In short, each of them was much stronger than normal vengeful ghosts.
More importantly, there were just too many of them. There seemed to be tens of thousands of them.
The impact of tens of thousands of them was indescribable. It was enough to make even a Heavenly Venerable tremble in fear.
If they were really surrounded by this huge ghost army, the 100-odd cultivators from the cultivation sects' allied army would probably be torn apart and killed on the spot.
No cultivator could win against the attack of tens of thousands of vengeful ghosts of the same level.
"Set up the array formation immediately. Everyone, kill the ghost army with all your might."
The Jade Lake Sacred Leader's eyes were cold. The moon-shaped Sage artifact behind her soared into the sky and entered the void.
In the next second, a huge silver halo enveloped everyone. It emitted a dazzling light and blocked the ghosts.
The Jade Lake Sacred Leader had absolute authority in the Jade Lake Sacred Ground.
The moment she attacked, the other three Heavenly Venerables of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground also helped.
"Everyone, don't panic. Although there are many vengeful ghosts, only the ones attacking us at the same time are the ones at the front."
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's Sage artifact, the Jade Mirror, also entered the void and worked together with the Sage artifact in the Jade Lake Sacred Leader's hand to strengthen the array formation.
The other two Heavenly Venerables, Ling Wu and Xue Wu, were continuously transferring their power into the Sage artifact to strengthen the array formation.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura fluctuated slightly. He said coldly, "Divine Firmament disciples, invite the lightning!"
Everyone knew that lightning was the punishment of heaven and earth.
Lightning arts were famous for being powerful among the various immortal arts, and the Divine Firmament Lightning Art was the best in the world.
Not only did it possess the most destructive power in the world, but it was also extremely effective against evil spirits and ghosts.
At that moment, thousands of ghosts swarmed toward the cultivation sect coalition army. The Divine Firmament disciples were unwilling to pass on this responsibility.
"Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning!"
"Third Fire Vermillion Bird Divine Lightning!"
"Fourth Fire Soaring Serpent Thunder!"
"Metal White Tiger Divine Thunder!"
"Lesser Five Elements Mixed Divine Lightning!"
"Mixed Element Lightning Palm!"
…
Bolts of lightning shot out from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's camp, blasting away the vengeful ghosts.
Among them, the more powerful ones could even directly blast malicious ghosts into pieces.
At this moment, Shen Tian was also attacking with all his strength. He kept striking out with the Thunder Palm, as if he would never tire.
Every Palm Thunder Technique that he struck out could directly smash several malicious ghosts into pieces, causing them to dissipate between heaven and earth. It was extremely powerful.
For a time, it attracted a lot of attention.
"As expected of the Divine Firmament Saint. His strength is indeed extraordinary!"
"With such strength, he is much stronger than the chief disciple of our sect. The Holy Land is indeed a Holy Land."
"Even the Divine Firmament Saint hasn't given up. How can we give up? Let's cast spells and f * ck them up! "
The two sacred grounds' resistance was a good start for the cultivators from the other grotto-heavens and blessed-lands. Instantly, everyone's fighting spirit was boosted.
Even if they died, they could not let the evil sects do whatever they wanted. No matter what, they had to bite off a few pieces of flesh from the evil sects.
"A bunch of scum from the Jindan Period dares to offend me?"
A domineering shout rang out from the crowd, and the old Taoist priest, whose whole body was burning with azure divine flames, shot out from the array formation.
He was fearless as he directly charged into the endless army of vengeful ghosts. His body was drowned in thick black ferocious aura.
"Ocean Quelling Heaven and Earth — Chaotic Clouds and Rain!"
His roar resounded through the sky, and a hole suddenly appeared in the black ferocious aura that covered the sky.
Thousands of staff shadows shot out from the black ferocious aura, carrying with them the dazzling Azure Sky Flames, directly smashing countless malicious ghosts into pieces.
Through that hole, one could vaguely see an azure figure moving unhindered among the tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers. Wherever he went, not a single malicious ghost could stop him for even a moment.
"As expected of Senior Brother Chu He. He can actually move unhindered in this army of ghosts!"
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance activated the Jade Mirror with all her might, stacking it with the other Heavenly Venerables' protective Dharma artifacts to resist the waves of attacks from the ghost army. At the same time, she stared at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' figure.
Little stars seemed to be twinkling in her eyes.
However, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' invincible aura did not last for long. This was because his high profile had very quickly attracted the attention of the ghost army and targeted him.
The endless ferocious aura and Yin fog started to surround Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. It was like a high-speed black tornado, tightly trapping him in the middle.
Countless Golden Core vengeful ghosts were hidden in the black tornado, and they kept launching fierce attacks on Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
More importantly, the black tornado completely cut off Spirit Qi, so Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was almost unable to get any energy from the outside world to replenish himself.
Thus, before long, the Azure Sky Flames burning on Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' body started to wither.
Under the suicidal attacks of countless malicious ghosts, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was no longer invincible. Instead, he started to panic.
After all, there were not just eight or ten malicious ghosts of the same level attacking him in the black tornado. There were hundreds or even thousands of them!
"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough!
"I see that you guys are pitiful, so I'll let you guys off.
"F * ck, I already said I'll let you guys off. Why are you still fighting? Let me out!
"I'm not in a good state right now. If you have the ability, wait for me to go back and recover, then I'll torture you guys to death!"
"F * ck, f * ck, f * ck, you're all Golden Core vengeful ghosts. Can you be a little more shameless? If you want to fight, then fight. Why the hell are you biting people?"
"Sucking my essence? Only you guys know how to suck it? Watch me eat everything with my big mouth! Ptui, why does it taste like sh * t! "
"You can't bite there. F * ck, I'll fight it out with you gangsters!"
"Junior Brother, save me, Junior Brother! I can't hold on anymore!"
...
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' tragic cries came from the crowd.
It was obvious that he wanted to retreat, but he was being held back by those vengeful ghosts.
His whole body was covered in black teeth marks.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's eyes narrowed. He formed a hand seal, and golden lightning suddenly transformed into divine light and shot out.
Boom!
The divine light of thunder cut through the void and tore apart the black tornado formed by Yin Qi, evil Qi, and poisonous Qi.
The Mixed Divine Lightning flowed along the tornado and instantly swept away all the vengeful ghosts around Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
"Hello, Junior Brother! Junior Brother is awesome! Junior Brother is so awesome!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was terrified. He transformed into a beam of azure divine light and escaped from the black tornado.
At this moment, the originally neat and tidy Bagua Immortal Robe on his body was still in tatters from the bites of the malicious spirits. There were bite marks all over his body.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' hair was standing on end because of the residual power of the Mixed Divine Lightning. It was even smoking.
He seemed to be in a miserable state.
At this moment, the overwhelming number of vengeful ghosts had finally reached the front of the Immortal Sect Coalition Army.
Boom!
It was as if a tsunami had collided with a dam, and a strong wind surged out in an instant.
Even the fabrics of space trembled, cracked, and shattered from this collision. One vengeful ghost after another was turned into dust by the array formation's backlash.
Within the Divine Firmament Protective Array, the lightning transformed into the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Qilin, Soaring Snake, Six Directions, and other divine beasts. They roared at the sky and fought with the countless vengeful ghosts.
Within the Jade Lake's protective array, countless heavenly lights transformed into guqin, pipa, jade mirror, and phoenix hairpin. They emitted a boundless divine aura and formed a natural moat that blocked all attacks.
The powerful practitioners from the other grotto-heavens and blessed-lands were also doing their best to set up the array formation just to block these vengeful ghosts for a while longer.
However, the number of vengeful ghosts was just too terrifying. Although only a small portion of them were attacking the array formation at the same time, they could not stop someone secretly controlling them!
After the first wave of vengeful ghosts attacked the array formation, the array formation did not even have time to take a breather before the second wave of vengeful ghosts followed closely behind.
There was almost no buffer time, and the array formation collapsed one after another.
Although the Immortal Sect Coalition Army quickly set up a new array formation, the backlash from the array formation shattering had already caused many people to be seriously injured.
Even Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, who was extremely skilled in medicine, was extremely busy.
...
Shen Tian's expression gradually darkened as the figures beside him fell one after another.
He did not rest for even a moment and continued to attack. The Nan Ming Li Fire covered the Divine Devouring Vine in his hand and continuously swept toward those vengeful ghosts.
Wherever the vine passed, all the vengeful ghosts were directly sliced in half by the Divine Devouring Vine and then burned to ashes by the Nan Ming Li Fire.
However, to the tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers, these few vengeful ghosts were just a drop in the bucket.
In an instant, more vengeful ghosts would swarm forward and fill up the holes that appeared.
Kill, kill, kill!
In the bloody battle, Shen Tian entered a strange and special state.
The sound of war drums echoed in his mind, and he could feel his blood boiling.
His body emitted a faint golden light, which gradually became brighter and brighter!
Vaguely, he felt as if he had touched a layer of membrane, a layer of mysterious barrier.
That was the barrier of the Golden Body Third Refinement Stage. He was already close to it, and now he was just one step away!
Facing the overwhelming black aura outside the array formation, Shen Tian slowly took a step forward, and the Longyuan Divine Armor that was originally in the form of an inner armor returned to its original form.
The golden divine armor shone brightly, and lightning flowed on the surface of his body. It was as if a god had descended. Behind him, there were even five divine beasts roaring at the sky.
At this moment, Shen Tian's body emitted a shocking aura, and he became the focus of everyone's attention!
Shen Tian took another step forward and was already at the edge of the array formation. He was only a few feet away from the vengeful ghosts.
When he raised his head, he could even feel the vengeful aura and sinister wind blowing toward him.
Behind him, a pair of wings that looked like they were made of gold suddenly spread open, and endless holy light shone down, making him look even more extraordinary.
"God of War Transformation — Heavy Water Transformation!"
A tuft of hair turned silver-white, and Shen Tian's aura suddenly increased greatly. When he clenched his right fist, even the void trembled.
"Executing Heaven Sword, attack!!!"
The sound of the sword reverberated through the heavens, causing the swords in the hands of the surrounding cultivators to tremble.
It was as if they were afraid!
A longsword had suddenly appeared in Shen Tian's hands. There was a faint scarlet light rippling and rippling on the sword's blade like flowing water.
It let out a crisp sword cry, like the roar of a dragon or the cry of a phoenix.
At the edge of its blade, even the void was being sliced open, and cracks appeared in it.
With the Executing Heaven Sword in hand, Shen Tian's golden wings suddenly spread open.
He transformed into a reddish-gold divine light and instantly shot toward the endless vengeful ghost army.
...
Previously, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had attacked the ghost army alone, which had already made those vengeful ghosts furious.
If the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, had not personally come to receive him, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus would not have been able to escape so easily.
Now that Shen Tian still dared to be so arrogant, all the vengeful ghosts were instantly enraged.
F * ck!
Shrill ghostly cries rang out from the black ominous cloud.
Countless hideous, hideous, and hideous ghost faces gradually appeared in the ominous cloud.
Sabers, swords, axes, and tridents formed by the vengeful aura formed in the void. They emitted a terrifying Yin aura and shot toward Shen Tian.
"The Divine Firmament Saint is actually taking such a risk?"
"That's tens of thousands of Golden Core vengeful ghosts. Isn't he courting death!?"
"It's a pity that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground finally encountered a Son of Providence, but he's going to die today?"
Sounds of pity rang out from the crowd. The corners of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' mouth twitched. "This rascal.
I've already tried it just now. These vengeful ghosts are secretly being controlled by someone, and they have great teamwork. It's impossible for one person to break the formation alone. Isn't this nonsense!? "
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' face was also full of worry. "Senior Brother Sacred Leader, call Tian 'er back. This is too risky."
Unexpectedly, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, did not look worried at all.
His heavenly aura rippled gently. "It's fine. Tian 'er is the Son of Providence, and he has the protection of the heavens. He will definitely not meet with any accidents.
"Perhaps, the opportunity to break out of this predicament lies with Tian 'er."
The opportunity to break this formation lies with Shen Tian?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's words instantly made the surrounding people frown slightly.
Shen Tian was just a Golden Body Perfected One, and his age was not even a fraction of the others'.
They really could not imagine how Shen Tian could break this deadly formation with tens of thousands of Golden Body vengeful ghosts by himself.
"Just wait and see! In front of the Son of Providence, nothing is impossible. "
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's indifferent voice rang out.
His words were not convincing at all, but they sounded so certain and confident in his words.
At that moment, a tragic cry suddenly rang out from the overwhelming ominous clouds.
"Ah!"
A figure fell from the ominous clouds with a tragic cry.
Is it Shen Tian?
Everyone's eyes narrowed as they looked toward that figure. They saw that it was not Shen Tian but a figure dressed in a black robe.
He held a strange black flag in his hand, and the flag seemed to be covered in numerous talisman markings, causing it to look extremely ghastly.
"It's an expert from the Evil Spirit Sect. He's the one hiding among these vengeful ghosts and using the Myriad Soul Sail to control them!"
The Evil Spirit Sect and the cultivation sects had been fighting for tens of thousands of years, so the cultivation sects already knew many of the Evil Spirit Sect's methods.
Among them, the Myriad Soul Sail was one of the Evil Spirit Sect's most vicious Dharma artifacts.
This kind of Dharma artifact could only be refined by Heavenly Venerables above the Soul Formation stage. It could control thousands of vengeful ghosts at the same time and set up all kinds of terrifying ghost formations to attack the enemy.
The most supreme-grade Myriad Soul Sail could even control tens of thousands of Nascent Soul vengeful ghosts. After setting up an array formation, even Sages had to temporarily avoid it.
Of course, this level of Myriad Soul Sail was too rare. It might not even be found in the entire Evil Spirit Sect.
The Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerable who had been killed by Shen Tian was holding an ordinary Myriad Soul Sail.
The Heavenly Venerable seemed to be heavily injured. His left arm was broken, and the Myriad Soul Sail in his hand had also been cut in half.
"Arrogant brat, if not for this All Are Equal Domain, I can easily squash an ant like you to death with one finger!"
Just as the Heavenly Venerable finished speaking, a reddish-gold figure suddenly flashed across the sky.
The golden light was the Longyuan Divine Armor and the Feather Immortal Golden Wings.
The red light was the Executing Heaven Sword's blood-red sword light.
Clang!
The Executing Heaven Sword suddenly turned into a huge, blood-red sword that was tens of feet long.
Following that, it slashed toward the Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerable and directly nailed him to the ground. His body turned into nothingness.
A ball of essence spirit flew out of his body, trying to escape back into the dark clouds with a horrified expression.
It was a pity that it was too slow in front of the Feather Immortal Golden Wings.
Shen Tian's figure flickered, and he directly blocked in front of that ball of Essence Soul. He kicked the ball of Essence Soul toward the cultivation sect coalition army.
"Well done, Tian 'er!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura flashed. He formed a seal with both hands, and a golden sacred book appeared in his hands.
That ball of essence spirit was directly sucked into the sacred book space without any resistance.
...
"He actually found the person who can completely conceal his aura among the tens of thousands of ghosts."
"There's something strange about this kid. We definitely can't let him get close to us!"
The Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerables within the dark clouds were livid.
Those vengeful ghosts were able to cooperate so well because they were controlled by them.
If they lost control of the Myriad Soul Sail, just the vengeful ghosts' backlash alone would be a headache for these Heavenly Venerables, not to mention that they would not be able to form such a powerful ghost army.
"Use all your strength to kill this kid!"
The Heavenly Venerables within the dark clouds had already made up their minds.
More than half of the ghost army continued to attack the cultivation sect alliance's array formation, trying to break it as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the other small portion condensed into a bone-chilling aura tornado that swept toward Shen Tian as if it could devour the entire universe.
"Although there are many of them, it's a pity that each of them is too weak. They can't stop me at all."
Shen Tian held the Executing Heaven Sword in his hand. Although he did not cultivate any profound sword techniques, the world's battle techniques were all the same. The weapons were just different carriers.
The demonic red sword aura flowed like autumn water. Countless divine sword avatars appeared behind Shen Tian, causing the void to crack.
"I've found all of you!"
A playful smile appeared on Shen Tian's face as he suddenly flapped his golden wings.
It was as if he was shuttling through the void. His speed completely surpassed the concept of a Golden Body.
Countless vengeful ghosts pounced toward him, but before they could even touch Shen Tian's body, Shen Tian was already nowhere to be seen.
A man must be fast!
The Executing Heaven Sword in his hand was invincible as it directly slashed all the vengeful ghosts in front of it into two.
Ah!
Thousands of sword auras poured down like a torrential storm, directly killing more than ten vengeful ghosts and an Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerable hidden among them. The Myriad Soul Sail was shattered into pieces.
Without the Myriad Soul Sail, the thousands of vengeful ghosts instantly lost control and directly pounced toward the Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerable.
If they were at their peak, why would the Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerable be afraid of mere Golden Core vengeful ghosts? No matter how many of them there were, they would at least be able to escape unscathed.
However, now that they were in the All Beings Are Equal domain, their cultivation level was suppressed to the Golden Core stage, and their physical bodies were destroyed, leaving only their Essence Souls. The Heavenly Venerable could no longer resist.
In just a short while, countless vengeful ghosts crazily devoured him, and his soul dissipated.
Shen Tian did not stop for a moment. He continued to kill the Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerable hidden among the ghost army according to Ye Qingcang's instructions.
With the Longyuan Divine Armor protecting him, Shen Tian's defense was so strong that it was hair-raising.
With the Feather Immortal Metal Wings, Shen Tian's speed was so fast that it was impossible to catch him.
With the Divine Devouring Vine Lord's recovery, Shen Tian almost did not need to worry about his Dharmic powers being depleted.
The Executing Heaven Sword was mainly used for killing. Wherever the sword went, humans and ghosts would be sliced into two.
...
At that moment, in everyone's eyes, Shen Tian seemed to have transformed into a peerless God of War, incomparably awe-inspiring.
Even the Jade Lake Sacred Leader was amazed. "The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground actually has such a remarkable son. The heavens are really blessing the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!"
Originally, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader had heard from The Little Fairy that the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, had once obtained Spirit Venerable Divine Water's inheritance with her, thus forming an indissoluble bond with the Jade Lake Sacred Ground.
At that time, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader had not thought much of it.
After all, to the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, a genius was really nothing.
However, as more and more information about Shen Tian reached her ears, she started to feel bitter.
Now that she had seen Shen Tian's god-like equipment and his terrifying battle prowess, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader felt sour all over.
Why, why did the ancestors of the sacred ground set the rule that "Jade Lake does not accept male disciples"?
Otherwise, according to the order of the karma with Shen Tian, the Jade Lake Sacred Ground should have accepted Shen Tian first.
Just because of this rule, the sacred ground had missed out on a peerless prodigy comparable to Huang Shi!
No, Shen Tian's talent is unfathomable. I cannot miss out on this opportunity!
The Jade Lake Sacred Leader thought to herself. Among all the disciples in the sacred ground, Ling'er has the closest relationship with Shen Tian.
"After this matter, I will go back and confer Ling'er as the Jade Lake Sacred Leader. In the future, I will find a good opportunity to matchmake them.
"Yes! If I can't take you in as a disciple, I will take you in as a son-in-law!
"The Jade Lake Sacred Ground is definitely going to suck up to him!"
...
There was definitely more than one person who had the same thoughts as the Jade Lake Sacred Leader.
Of course, Shen Tian did not know what they were thinking. Right now, all his attention was on killing the Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerables.
No matter how well those Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerables hid, they were all found and killed by him.
He was very excited now.
Why was he excited? Wasn't it simple?
All this while, Shen Tian had been living a low life because his cultivation level was low.
Now, the Lifeless King had done a good job of suppressing everyone's cultivation level to the Golden Core stage.
Within the All Life's Equality domain, even the Evil Spirit Sect's own people were no exception.
This allowed Shen Tian to experience what it meant to be domineering.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
...
Seven.
Eight.
Soon, a total of eight Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerables from the Seven Kill Sect, Army Breaker Sect, and Ravenous Wolf Sect were killed by Shen Tian.
Three of the Heavenly Venerables' essence souls were captured by Shen Tian, while the other five were devoured by the Evil Spirits due to the destruction of the Ten Thousand Soul Sail. This could be considered karma.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian also felt that the barrier had been broken in the midst of this bloody battle.
Battle was always the fastest way to improve. At this moment, Shen Tian had finally completed the Golden Body Third Refinement Stage, and his physical strength had increased further.
This battle made Shen Tian very happy!
...
"Not bad, not bad. You've cleaned up those little rats so quickly."
Ye Qingcang's gratified voice rang out in his mind.
Shen Tian smiled. "It's all thanks to Old Man Ye's guidance that I was able to find them so quickly."
Ye Qingcang smiled. "Your same-level battle prowess is already 70% of mine. Keep up the good work."
Shen Tian was slightly taken aback, but he immediately nodded. "I will continue to work hard!"
At this moment, something strange happened.
After those vengeful ghosts devoured the Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerables, they seemed to have become even stronger.
They had launched another attack on the cultivation sect alliance army!
