The heavenly ghost, clad in armor, let out a shrill howl. He was pleasantly surprised.
The blood-colored jade pendant that An Ziqing had given him flew out of Yu Yuan's mustard-seed bracelet and embedded itself into the heavy armor on his chest, instantly giving him an imposing aura.
Washed clean by the blood-colored light, the armor blossomed with a bewitching scarlet color that was as red as blood.
It was just like the light emanating from his eyes.
SWISH!
The heavenly ghost roared in the void. Waves of sound mixed with blood-colored light and shadows crushed the hostile souls and ghosts wrapped in the purple-black light.
One after another, blood-colored shadows rushed out of the blood-colored armor, like powerful sub-souls of the heavenly ghost, and rapidly harvested souls.
BOOM!
Clad in battle armor, the akasha ghost landed on the blackish-purple mountain peak and immediately engaged in close combat with the great demon's enormous skeleton.
Like blood water, the blood-colored light gradually seeped into the heavenly ghost's body during the battle.
The purple-black soul flames burning on the heavenly ghost's huge body were extinguished one by one.
The purple-black flames were the heavenly ghost's former demon soul. Being extinguished by the blood-colored light meant that he was injured.
The jade pendant, which exuded strong blood Qi, provided endless power to the heavenly ghost from the Sect of the Blood God. His strength soared, and he completely suppressed the skeletal heavenly ghost that was transformed from a big demon.
It wasn't long before the skeletal heavenly ghost's soul shrank back into its skeletal body weakly.
At a certain moment, the purple-black flames burning on its body were all extinguished.
Knowing that it was no match for the heavenly ghost, the heavenly ghost fell apart with a bang. Its bones split apart and shot in all directions.
The heavenly ghost broke up into pieces and escaped.
All of the remaining souls and Specters that had attached themselves to him, except for a few who were especially loyal to him, remained floating in midair, not moving at all.
The remaining ghosts looked eagerly at the heavenly ghost in armor standing on the black-purple mountain peak.
It was as if they were looking at their new king.
The scarlet-eyed heavenly ghost let out another shrill shriek.
Immediately, the spirits and ghosts that were originally under the command of the Skeletal Heavenly Ghost declared their allegiance to him one after another and changed masters.
In the Land of Terror, it was normal for souls and ghosts to choose a new master. It wasn't strange at all.
If one mountain was attacked and occupied by another, the winner would naturally be able to take over the mountain and subordinates of the loser.
Yu Yuan landed in the Fiendish Demon Cauldron. He was surprised to see that the battle, which was originally evenly matched, had turned one-sided due to the appearance of the blood-colored jade pendant.
He couldn't understand how a mere blood-colored jade pendant could unleash such power.
He had thought that the blood-colored jade pendant was just a token that could be used to send messages at most.
However, as soon as the blood-colored jade pendant was embedded in the battle armor, the might of the battle armor had been greatly enhanced. Therefore, he had a feeling that he didn't understand the true wonders of the blood-colored jade pendant.
"Master, the armor that the heavenly ghost of the Blood God is wearing should belong to him." The Cauldron Soul observed for a while and tried to analyze it. "The blood-colored patterns on the surface of the armor must be a secret spell formation of the Blood God. The patterns were concealed before, so they didn't show up.
"Also, the blood-colored patterns can only be activated by infusing them with Qi and blood power."
"In the Land of Terror, flesh power and flesh power can't exist for a long time. Otherwise, they would be torn to shreds by the fierce cold wind, leaving nothing behind.
"After the heavenly ghost's flesh and blood melted, he couldn't gather flesh power to activate the secret spell formation in the armor. After your blood-colored jade pendant appeared, the flesh power it contained belonged to the Blood God, so it was of the same origin as him. When the blood-colored jade pendant was embedded in the armor and infused with flesh power, the armor's original power was restored.
"Coupled with the fact that the blood-colored jade pendant was extraordinary, it instantly turned the situation around."
The Cauldron Soul explained in detail.
Yu Yuan wasn't surprised at all. Instead, his face was grim, and he couldn't feel happy at all.
Back when they were on the Leiyan Islands, An Ziqing had said that the blood-colored jade pendant was only a keepsake, and that if he didn't communicate with it, An Ziqing wouldn't be able to use it to lock onto him.
However, after what happened today, he began to suspect that the girl who had served him for so many years had always harbored ill intentions and was secretly plotting against him.
"I'll settle this with you later!"
With these thoughts in mind, he discovered that the heavenly ghost in battle armor had already pacified his subordinates and assigned a capable general of ghost spirits to settle down on the purplish-black mountain peak.
One by one, the spirits and ghosts that were floating in the air flew into the two mountain peaks.
After the heavenly ghost dismissed all of the spirits and Specters, he flew towards Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Master, I don't think he has any ill intentions," the Cauldron Soul said.
At that moment, Yu Yuan saw the heavenly ghost, who should have been a disciple of the Blood God, condense two hands with his soul power and hold the blood-colored jade pendant, which An Ziqing had given him, in an extremely respectful manner.
As the heavenly ghost approached the Fiendish Demon Cauldron, he carefully changed his appearance.
Moments later, he morphed into an illusory, emaciated old man.
Even though he was in the form of a spirit, his eyebrows, cheeks, and facial features were no longer blurry and indistinct. Instead, he looked like a human nether deity on a trip.
Through his communication with the Cauldron Soul, Yu Yuan learned that all human nether deities would gradually change over time after losing their fleshly bodies and cultivating the Dao of Specters.
They would change into a pure, soul-based Specter that didn't care about their original appearance.
It actually took a lot of effort and soul power for this heavenly ghost to condense his original appearance.
Such an action should be a kind of expression of goodwill.
"When I was alive, I was a disciple of the Blood God. My name was Liu Linzhi."
He stopped a hundred meters away from the Fiendish Demon Cauldron and bowed respectfully with the blood-colored medallion in his hands. "When I was alive, I was at the late stage of the Yin Spirit realm. I failed to break through to the Soul Wander realm, and my fleshly body was destroyed. I had no choice but to enter the Land of Terror and cultivate the Dao of Specters.
"It's a pity that I couldn't continue to serve the Blood God."
"I heard from my master that this medallion is a keepsake of the Blood God's sectmaster. I remember that only the sectmaster and the person who has been designated as the next sectmaster can possess such a medallion.
"Little brother, the spirit incantation you cultivate doesn't seem to be the path of our Blood God. May I ask?"
As he spoke, he gently pushed the medallion forward.
The blood-colored medallion was lifted by his power and floated towards Yu Yuan.
"It's a gift from the Divine Daughter of your Blood God." Yu Yuan was inwardly surprised. He didn't expect the blood-colored jade medallion An Ziqing had given him to be so important.
"I can't believe it's a gift from the Divine Daughter!"
The heavenly ghost from the Land of Terror named Liu Linzhi's scarlet eyes lit up with blood-colored light. "Little brother, your relationship with our Divine Daughter must be very important! I've been cultivating in the Land of Terror for more than a hundred years. It was only a few days ago that I learned from a few outsiders that our Blood God has a Divine Daughter.
"The Divine Daughter will be the next sectmaster.
"This jade medallion is very unusual. The fact that she gave it to you means that she values your relationship with her greatly!"
From the looks of it, Liu Linzhi's respectful attitude towards Yu Yuan was because of the blood-colored jade medallion.
"Values?" Yu Yuan had a strange feeling in his heart.
That girl An Ziqing, on the Blood God Island and in the Azure Phoenix City, had been constantly scheming against him. How could this be called valuing him?
WHOOSH!
The blood-colored medallion stopped in front of his chest, unable to enter the Fiendish Demon Cauldron through the black light.
Liu Linzhi looked at him with an expectant gaze.
He reached out like lightning and grabbed the medallion, which meant a lot to a disciple of the Blood God. Putting it back into his mustard seed bracelet, he said, "What's the situation in the Land of Terror?"
Liu Linzhi went blank for a moment before asking, "Little brother, did you come here in your true form?"
Yu Yuan nodded.
"In the Land of Terror, anyone who dares to come here in their true form is either crazy or extremely confident." Liu Linzhi looked at the Fiendish Demon Cauldron again. His soul trembled slightly as he said in shock, "Is this a soul tool?"
"Haven't you heard of the Fiendish Demon Cauldron?" Yu Yuan asked.
"The Fiendish Demon Cauldron!" Liu Linzhi's illusory but clear face inside the armor suddenly became blurry due to his state of mind.
After a while, when he calmed down, his face became clear again. "Little brother, this isn't the place to talk. If you don't mind, why don't we talk at my humble abode?" He pointed at the dark brown mountaintop.
