* Wu wu wu! *
A cold wind blew slowly, causing the chill in the air to become even colder.
Chen Zong looked around and found that the light was getting dimmer and dimmer, as if the day was about to end and night was about to fall.
"I need to find this so-called shelter as soon as possible," Chen Zong muttered to himself.
Before entering, Floating Cloud King had specifically emphasized that the Fierce Ancient Battlefield was even more dangerous at night. As for where the danger lay, he had also mentioned it before.
After all, he very much hoped that those who entered the Fierce Ancient Battlefield from Floating Cloud Territory would be able to pass through the battlefield and reach Fierce Ancient War City, so naturally he had to explain some of the things he knew about the Fierce Ancient Battlefield.
However, Floating Cloud King actually didn't know much about the Fierce Ancient Battlefield, and it just so happened that the Fierce Ancient Battlefield would become even more dangerous after nightfall. As for the danger, it came from something called Battlefield Evil Spirits.
What was a Battlefield Evil Spirit?
Chen Zong didn't know because he had never seen one before, but according to Floating Cloud King's speculation, a great battle had once occurred on the Fierce Ancient Battlefield, resulting in countless deaths. Flesh, blood, and bones were scattered all over the ground, but their souls had not completely dissipated, some of them remaining and becoming incomplete.
Whenever night fell, a cold wind would blow, awakening these slumbering remnant souls and condensing them into bodies. These were Battlefield Evil Spirits.
Bloodthirsty Evil Spirits!
These two words described the characteristics of Battlefield Evil Spirits.
As for how to deal with these Battlefield Evil Spirits, Floating Cloud King had also explained, but he had also warned that it was best not to fight and to run if possible.
Time continued to pass, and the sky gradually darkened. Chen Zong continued to move forward, constantly searching, but he still couldn't find the so-called shelter.
According to Floating Cloud King, the shelter was very conspicuous, and if one couldn't find it, it meant one couldn't find it.
The sky above the Fierce Ancient Battlefield was always filled with dark clouds, like the billowing smoke of war. Back then, the sky was still clear and bright, but now, even one's vision was affected.
Chen Zong was a Transcendent Realm cultivator, so night didn't affect him at all, but at this moment, his vision, which he was so proud of, was obviously affected. The scene a thousand meters away began to blur, and beyond two thousand meters, it was difficult to see clearly.
The chilly wind grew stronger. Chen Zong could vaguely feel that it carried something that made his heart palpitate.
Shortly after, a ball of light slowly emerged from the ground in front of him. The ball of light was dark blue and very strange. Chen Zong's pupils shrank and he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. When he stared at the strange dark blue light, a chill ran down his spine.
In the distance, more and more blue lights rose from the ground. The lights were like flames, floating more than a meter in the air and burning strangely. Chen Zong approached them, but he couldn't feel any heat. Instead, he felt cold.
This kind of coldness was hard to feel physically, but his soul could feel it clearly. A strong sense of danger was born from the depths of his soul.
Pointing his finger, Chen Zong sent out a blue Sword Qi that directly hit one of the strange blue flames.
With a pop, the strange blue flame collapsed, turning into countless tiny specks of light that sputtered in all directions. A scene that surprised Chen Zong appeared. It was as if there was an invisible force acting as the core, causing the blue specks of light that sputtered in all directions to fly back like swallows returning to their nest. In the blink of an eye, they once again condensed into the strange blue flame.
The Sword Qi just now was not Blue Cloud Shattering Sword Qi, but rather a pure Sword Qi stimulated by Spirit Qi.
"Sure enough, as Floating Cloud King said, Spirit Qi is useless," Chen Zong's eyes flashed and he attacked again, this time using his Transcendent Force.
The strange blue flames shattered again, but instead of dissipating, they quickly reformed.
"Even Transcendent Force is useless," Chen Zong frowned, "Is it really as Floating Cloud King said, only …"
After a few attempts, he managed to shatter the strange blue flames, but they would reform in a short span of time.
Raising his hand, a purple light filled the air and condensed on his finger, emitting an astonishingly high temperature.
The Purple Cloud True Flame!
Since obtaining the Purple Cloud True Flame, Chen Zong often used its power to cultivate the True Flame Body Refining Technique and improve his Body Refining Technique. He had never used the power of the Purple Cloud True Flame in battle.
"Xiu!" With the power of the Purple Cloud True Flame, it struck the strange blue flame. This time, the strange blue flame did not explode. Instead, it was covered by the purple flame and burned fiercely.
Vaguely, Chen Zong seemed to hear an incomparably sharp and mournful cry that went straight into his soul, as if a needle was fiercely pricking him. Chen Zong frowned, and his complexion changed greatly.
Fortunately, his soul was very strong, and such a sharp cry did not affect him much. It disappeared in an instant, and soon after, the strange blue flames were burned to nothing, completely disappearing between heaven and earth.
This strange blue flame was the core of the Evil Ghost – the Ghost Fire.
The Ghost Fire was formed from the soul fragments of those who died in the Fierce Ancient Battlefield many years ago. It was usually silent underground, and when night fell and the cold wind blew, it would awaken.
Ordinary forces could not deal with the Ghost Fire, and after it was scattered, it would reform without any damage. There were only a few forces that could really deal with the Ghost Fire, and the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Force was one of them.
The Ghost Fire was the key to the formation of the Evil Ghost. In other words, only a few forces could deal with the Evil Ghost.
This was the reason why Floating Cloud King warned people not to fight the Evil Ghost. After all, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Force was not much, and the number of people who could control it was even less. Relying on spiritual power or dragon power, it was impossible to kill the Evil Ghost.
Facing an enemy that could not be killed, fighting was meaningless, and it was better to save power to escape.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Chen Zong flicked his ten fingers, and Sword Qi carrying the power of the Purple Cloud True Flame broke through the air, unceasingly hitting the Ghost Fire that appeared in all directions. The Ghost Fire burned one after another, and turned into nothingness.
However, the Ghost Fire continued to drill out from the ground, floating more than a meter in the air, completely catching up with Chen Zong's speed of destroying it.
"Go." Taking advantage of the fact that the Evil Ghost had not yet appeared, Chen Zong immediately used his movement skill, and quickly moved forward.
The wind whistled, blowing in all directions like a cloud dragon, but the Ghost Fire was not affected in the slightest.
The night deepened, and became darker. The curtain of night had really fallen.
Kacha Kacha Kacha sounds continued to ring out, making Chen Zong's scalp go numb, and for no reason, his whole body's hair stood on end, and he was terrified.
The ground in all directions seemed to have come alive as it constantly wriggled. Pieces of withered bones broke out of the ground and were pulled by a mysterious force. They flew up one after another and converged towards the Ghost Fire.
The more ear-piercing kacha sounds continued. Under Chen Zong's horrified gaze, the withered bones flew around the Ghost Fire, gathered in the middle, and quickly pieced together.
In just three breaths, a human-shaped skeleton was condensed. The skeleton was about 1.7 meters tall, and its bones were gray and loose, as if they would fall apart at the slightest touch.
The human-shaped skeleton's pitch-black eye sockets were like two black holes, and when one looked into them, one would feel as if one's soul was about to be sucked in.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's soul was strong, and his will was strong, so he was not affected.
With a swoosh, the human-shaped skeleton's pitch-black eye sockets suddenly lit up with a faint blue light, like a flickering flame. It was the Ghost Fire.
Immediately, with the Ghost Fire as the center, layers of faint blue ripples quickly spread out, spreading over the gray-white withered bones like waves. In the process of spreading, the blue ripples quickly penetrated into the withered bones, and the withered bones immediately changed.
The originally gray-white withered bones suddenly turned white, filled with a faint halo, and looked thicker, like withered wood turning into fine steel. The originally loose body also became very solid and strong.
It was as if a poor person who was malnourished to the point of almost being disabled had transformed into a strong and elite warrior.
Chen Zong did not slow down, constantly moving forward, and at the same time, paying attention to all the changes of the Ghost Fire.
In addition to the human-shaped skeletons, there were also some beast-shaped skeletons, and some strange-shaped skeletons.
For example, skeletons with many arms or legs, or skeletons with two or even three heads.
Evil Ghosts!
These were the Evil Ghosts of the battlefield. As the night fell and the cold wind blew, they finally woke up, as if they had crawled out of hell.
As soon as the Evil Ghosts appeared, their hollow eyes burning with the Ghost Fire immediately turned to Chen Zong, staring at Chen Zong as their only target.
The Evil Ghosts opened their pitch-black, hollow mouths, and roared in the direction of Chen Zong, and a fierce and bloodthirsty aura burst out from their bodies.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! The Evil Ghosts stepped on the ground, bursting out with amazing power, causing the ground to collapse. They were like wild horses and fierce tigers, leaving deep holes in the hard ground every time, and rushing hundreds of meters away every time. Their speed was extremely fast, and they were as fast as lightning.
In just a few breaths, hundreds of Evil Ghosts chased from behind and left and right, which made Chen Zong look dignified.
Then, Evil Ghosts appeared in front of him, staring at Chen Zong, and quickly rushed over.
There were figures of Evil Ghosts in all directions, and their aura was extremely fierce and bloodthirsty.
With a light stroke of his finger like a sword, the cyan Sword Qi cut through the air, immediately cutting the bodies of several Evil Ghosts in front of him. When the Sword Qi hit the bodies of the Evil Ghosts, Chen Zong felt as if he had cut a piece of tempered steel.
The hardness of such bones was amazing, and it was comparable to a Middle-grade Mortal Level weapon.
The severed Nefarious Ghost's upper and lower halves fell apart, smashing into the ground and falling apart. Chen Zong looked closely and found that under the power of the Nefarious Ghost Fire, the broken bones flew up and reassembled. The entire process took about three breaths.
He struck again with his finger, this time with the power of the Purple Cloud True Flame.
With a boom, the bodies of the Evil Ghosts suddenly burned, and the purple flames surged into the eyes of the Evil Ghosts like a tide, burning the Ghost Fire into nothingness.
Without the Ghost Fire, the bodies of the Evil Ghosts immediately fell apart, and their bones were broken and could no longer be reassembled.
Sure enough, only the Purple Cloud True Flame could cause real damage to the Evil Ghosts. However, there were many Evil Ghosts, and now there were more than a thousand of them, and the number was still increasing, and killing them would constantly consume the power of the Purple Cloud True Flame.
