The chilly wind howled, and thousands of ghosts swallowed the sky. It was a scene of disaster.
Heaven Suspending Peak began to collapse from the foot of the mountain. Rocks flew everywhere, and amidst the thunderous roars, evil ghosts flew out from the rocks and circled around the mountain. In the time it took to speak, they had already covered the sky.
On top of Heaven Suspending Peak, You Ning continued to say, "Yin Wangyao knew the secret words of your Celestial Master Sect, so he had already forged the Mausoleum Celestial Master Chronicle. He deleted the record of sealing five thousand evil ghosts in Heaven Suspending Peak, and fabricated the Ghost Dao Heavenly Book out of thin air to lure you into his trap. After he died, I led you into the secret chamber of Yin Wangyao and took out the forged Mausoleum Celestial Master Chronicle.
"Then I told you about Heaven Suspending Peak, so that you would associate the phrase 'the earth is not the earth, the sky is not the sky, the waterfall flows against the black clouds'. Then I secretly ordered my subordinates to surround you, with the goal of forcing you to Heaven Suspending Peak! For me, for the Hell Dao, open the seal of these five thousand evil ghosts! And in the end, just as I expected, you did it! "
The heartless words revealed the cruel truth. Zhang Running fell to the ground as if he had been punched. He sat there blankly. A moment ago, his face was filled with ecstasy, pride, and hope … Now, all those expressions were gone. His eyes were filled with endless shock, fear, disbelief, and regret.
"Fake, fake … What Celestial Master Treasury, what Ghost Dao Heavenly Book, they were all fake …" He had racked his brains and given up his life. The door to the revival of Dragon Tiger Mountain was right in front of him, but in the end, it was a disaster. His heart was empty, but this huge sense of absurdity made Zhang Running laugh. He looked up at the sky, coughed out blood, and laughed hysterically!
"Hahahahaha!" Thousands of ghosts circled around, announcing the shattering of the beautiful dream. Their cries were like the cries of a cuckoo, sharp and mournful, blending with the cries of ghosts.
Ying Feiyang looked at his pitiful appearance. Unable to restrain his anger, Leng Feng Han pointed his sword at You Ning and said: "Miss You Ning's schemes are deep, I admit defeat. Now, may I ask how much of Miss You Ning's cultivation you have inherited from Ghost Mother!"
You Ning sneered, "Since I dared to show myself on my own, I should be able to guarantee that you can't do anything to me. You want to rely on him to fight against me? "
You Ning glanced at the deranged Zhang Running with undisguised contempt. Then, she turned to Goddess Ling Xin and said, "Should we rely on her?"
Celestial Maiden Ling Xin was sick. Although she was still beautiful, she could not hide the dejection on her face.
"The Holy Maiden at her peak might be difficult to deal with, but why do you think Holy Maiden Ling Xin's power has been declining these days? The Ghost Qi corroding her Buddhist body is indeed the reason, but I was the one who pushed it. I was afraid of her cultivation, so I guided the Ghost Qi inside the Udumbara Buddhist Lamp and poured it into the Buddhist lamp, further contaminating her Buddhist zhenqi. Otherwise, her power wouldn't have declined so quickly. I just didn't expect the Holy Maiden to trigger the ability of Fate Connection when she was having a fever.
The pure and fair face of the Heavenly Fairy was indeed shrouded in a dark aura, like a white lotus stained with dirt or a bright jade covered in dust. She bit her lips and said, "So my premonition was right. Unfortunately, my cultivation is not high enough. In the end, you still succeeded …"
"As for you?" Youning looked at Ying Feiyang, but her eyes passed through him and looked at the fierce ghosts flying all over the sky. "After being sealed for a hundred years, these fierce ghosts have lost their minds and only know how to devour all flesh and life. Soon, the whole mountain will turn into a surging ghost tide. Only I can control them. Do you want to wait for them to devour the three of you after being hungry for 580 years, or do you want to take advantage of this remaining time to escape?"
"I'm using Ah Li's soul. She probably doesn't want to kill you, so I'll give you a chance. As the mountain gradually disintegrates, the gravity will return to normal. You will no longer be confined by the gravity. If you want to escape, this is your only chance, or do you want to give up their lives and fight for a slim chance of winning?"
After saying that, Youning ignored the tip of Ying Feiyang's sword as if it was nothing. She directly stepped past him and walked toward the ghosts step by step, exposing her defenseless back to Ying Feiyang. Ying Feiyang clenched the hilt of his sword tightly. He clenched and loosened it, loosened and clenched it again and again, but he couldn't make a move. He watched Youning walk toward the foot of the mountain with seemingly slow but actually fast steps. With a light tap of her foot, she lightly flew into the crowd of ghosts.
Her white dress and black hair fluttered in the wind. It was originally Ah Li's appearance, but on her body, there was a completely different cold temperament. Set off by the ferocious ghosts, it was a picture of hell that was both beautiful and ugly at the same time!
She slightly opened her mouth, and a bead the size of a chicken egg flew out of her throat. Crystal but faint light bloomed from the bead, like a fluorescent light blocked by the dark clouds in the crowd of ghosts. However, under the illumination of the fluorescent light, the restless fierce ghosts seemed to become quiet!
"That is the Soul Suppressing Bead!" Ying Feiyang recognized the bead and was shocked. There was only one such bead in the world, and it was originally in the hands of Sima Chengzhen. After Sima Chengzhen died, it was stolen by Lu Tianlan. According to Lu Tianlan, this bead should have been used as a trade and fell into the hands of Hu Li and his gang. Now, after several twists and turns, it actually appeared in Youning's hands.
The Soul Suppressing Bead had the effect of suppressing souls, and now it had obviously been refined by Youning. Under the illumination of the light, the ghosts who had lost their minds gradually became quiet under the Soul Suppressing Bead.
The disintegration of the mountain was still accelerating. One by one, the fierce ghosts broke free from the shackles and ran here in a daze. Once they were illuminated by the fluorescent light, they were instantly suppressed by the Soul Suppressing Bead.
Soon, only one-third of the Heaven Suspending Peak was left, and the Empyrean Waterfall began to shrink due to the gradual weakening of the gravity. Now, the length of the waterfall was only half of its original length.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the disintegration, Ying Feiyang knew that they would be devoured by thousands of ghosts if they stayed here any longer. Finally, he made a decision. He gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, "Holy Lady, Young Celestial Master, let's go …"
Holy Lady Ling Xin nodded. Zhang Running was shocked as if he had just woken up from a dream. With a pale face, he said, "No need, you can go!"
Ying Feiyang said loudly, "Zhang Running, I know you blame yourself, but you were also used by others. If you die here, how can Dragon Tiger Mountain revitalize?"
Zhang Running acted as if he did not hear it. He took out his storage pouch and put the Celestial Master Seal into it. Then, he handed it to Ying Feiyang and said, "Celestial Master Seal, Uncle-Master Xu's ashes, and all the books and tools we have collected along the way are all in this pouch. Please bring them back to Dragon Tiger Mountain."
He then smiled and said, "By the way, pass on my Celestial Master's words. The 25th Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhang Running, was too eager for quick success and believed in bandits. He fell into a trap and released the ancestral Celestial Master to seal the 5,000 ghosts. This is a grave mistake. Therefore, his title as a Celestial Master will be removed. After his death, his memorial tablet will never be enshrined in the ancestral hall! Let the future generations take this as a warning and caution! "
Ying Feiyang roared, "F * ck off! I'm not going to help you with your funeral! Don't push all the blame to me! Come with me!"
Having said that, he reached out to grab Zhang Running. He thought that the heavily injured Zhang Running would be a piece of cake, but Zhang Running's fingers were as fast as lightning. He was faster than when he was at his peak. Ying Feiyang was caught off guard and was subdued!
"How dare you destroy your own Ocean of Qi and scatter all your cultivation!" Ying Feiyang was horrified. He wanted to shout but his face was red and he could not say a word.
Zhang Running raised his hand again, and the White Bones Palace materialized. He threw Ying Feiyang into the palace and cupped his fists at Ling Xin, "Holy Lady, you and I are the same. We are born with responsibilities. If it's you, I'm sure you can understand my choice!"
Knowing that he had made up his mind to die, the Goddess said with mixed feelings, "Celestial Master Zhang, why do you have to do this?"
Zhang Running looked around and saw ghosts everywhere, but his mind gradually became clear. "I'm the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, the Celestial Master who represents the Celestial Master. Now that I've poked a hole in the sky, even if I can't fix it, I can't just walk away …"
Ling Xin sighed and entered the palace. Indeed, she could not even say "take care" because it was no longer necessary.
Zhang Running pressed on the lintel of the palace and looked down at the rapidly cracking rocks and the screaming ghosts. Suddenly, he wondered what the sky above Longhu Mountain looked like now. But no matter how hard he tried, the impression was still vague. He had been in the mountain for twenty years, but he had never looked at the sky above Longhu Mountain …
Zhang Running smiled again and suddenly shouted, "Ying Feiyang, Goddess, we'll part ways from now on. We'll never meet again. I'll send you off one last time!"
He pushed the Dragon-Tiger Strength to the limit and turned it into a powerful palm strike that landed on the palace. With a loud bang, the palace flew out like an arrow and fell from the sky, out of the range of the Sky Suspending Peak's gravitational pull.
Zhang Running watched as the palace disappeared into the distance. At the same time, the area of disintegration was getting closer and closer to Zhang Running. Several malicious ghosts sensed the smell of blood and flesh nearby and pounced on Zhang Running.
"The message hasn't been sent back to the sect yet."
Zhang Running turned around and strode forward, ignoring the ghosts that were charging at him. However, with a flash of his sword, he was like a dragon soaring through the sky. Under the flickering sword light, the ghosts were immediately minced into pieces. They didn't even have the time to scream before they were turned into ashes. The Dragon Thorn Sword protected him!
"I'm still the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain."
Zhang Running stomped on the ground and flew down the mountain, charging into the surging ghost tide. The ghosts surged and attacked from all directions, but the shadow of his sword moved like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain. A broad and heavy short sword transformed into a roaring tiger, charging straight ahead. All the ghosts in its way were pierced by the sword energy, and the Tiger-Splitting Sword opened the way!
"Then even if I'm smashed into pieces …"
The Tiger-Splitting Sword finally lost its momentum, but Zhang Running grabbed its hilt first. With both swords in his hands, he dragged out two parallel sword beams and opened up a path without regrets. He stomped heavily on the bottom of the mountain rock and soared into the air, heading straight for You Ning!
"Foolish." In the air, You Ning, who was surrounded by ghosts, sensed a fierce and sharp aura coming from below. She knew that Zhang Running had used the last of his life to increase his power by exploding his Ocean of Qi to kill her.
But she didn't panic. Instead, she ordered the ghosts to gather around her and form layers of ghost walls. Even if he exploded his Ocean of Qi, he would only be able to squeeze out the last of his energy. It was impossible to break through the ghost walls and hurt her.
But Zhang Running smiled when he saw the ghosts gathering towards You Ning.
"Oh no!" You Ning was startled. She saw Zhang Running turn his body in midair, head down and feet up. He pointed his swords down and pressed against the bottom of Heaven Suspending Peak! Because the surrounding ghosts had gathered around You Ning, none of them could stop him.
"The 25th Celestial Master, Zhang Running, will atone for his sins with his death and turn the tide!"
Zhang Running's last shout was like a clap of thunder, spreading far and wide. In the Bone Palace, Ying Feiyang and the Fairy who were falling saw an unforgettable scene.
The Sky Suspending Peak only had a third of its peak left, but it was still huge compared to Zhang Running. Zhang Running's swords were pointed at the bottom of the peak and he used all the energy in his body. His blood was dripping and his hair was dispersing. His face was aging, but his life force turned into endless energy that was injected into the bottom of the peak! The power of his body, the power of his faith, the power of his True Qi, the power of his life force, all of it turned into the strongest in this life —
Dragon and Tiger Spirit!
The ghosts that were still emerging from the rocks tried to devour him, but before they could get close, they were shattered by the unparalleled energy. The Dragon and Tiger Swords shone brightly, and the roar of the dragon and tiger resounded through the clouds. Under the Dragon and Tiger Spirit, the Sky Suspending Peak was pressed down by Zhang Running's swords!
Even though the attraction force was unstable and the whole peak was on the verge of collapse, it still required a lot of strength to push the peak down. But Zhang Running did it. Even though his tendons and veins were broken, his bones were broken, and his blood and Qi were bursting out, he still pushed the peak down. In the end, it fell from the sky like the sky was collapsing!
"Run! Run!" When the people from the Naraka Realm saw that the sky was collapsing, their faces turned ashen. They ran for their lives, wishing that their parents had given them two more legs.
Along with the Sky Suspending Peak, the Reverse Heavenly Waterfall also fell. The thousand-ton waterfall lost its gravity and fell straight down into the river from a height of tens of thousands of feet. The water was stirred up and turned into monstrous waves that surged in all directions.
In the next moment, the monstrous waves were like small ripples in comparison. Along with a loud bang that shook the land, the whole Sky Suspending Peak smashed into the River of Forgetfulness with the force of a thousand kilograms!
When the peak fell into the water, it stirred up even more violent and destructive waves. The waves were hundreds of feet high, and they spread out with the force of swallowing everything. The ghost cultivators from the Naraka Realm who did not manage to run far were immediately knocked over by the waves, slapped away, and drowned. In the face of the power of heaven and earth, even cultivators could not resist at all.
Before the White Bones Palace that Ying Feiyang and the Holy Maiden were in could fall, it was caught by the waves. The waves carried the White Bones Palace and spun in the water. It rose and fell like a small boat that could be slapped into the river by the next wave at any time.
Suddenly, the surface of the water broke open, and a dragon and a tiger soared out. They cut through the waves and steadily carried the swaying White Bones Palace as they swam towards the bottom of the River of Forgetfulness.
After a round of devastation, the mountains and rivers changed positions. It was like a heavenly tribulation, but everything returned to normal in the end, as if nothing had happened.
Only the water of the River of Forgetfulness was left, flowing and swallowing the heroic bones of unfulfilled ambitions …
