Ye Kong and the others stood at the end of the canyon. There was a huge basin in front of them. The plaza was so big that they couldn't see the end of it.
Ye Kong looked around and found that it was a circular basin. Around the basin, there were many canyons in a radial pattern. Ye Kong and the others walked out of one of the canyons.
The basin was not completely flat. In the center of the basin, there was a high platform. This high platform was not made of earth, nor was it made of stone. Instead, it was like a mountain that was cut in half by a powerful cultivator.
Hao Yilong was shocked and exclaimed, "If this place was really cut open by a magic treasure, it must be an immortal from the Upper Realm."
Ye Kong, on the other hand, was focused on the high platform.
It was impossible to fly here. Ye Kong stood far below and couldn't see clearly. However, the stone pillars that shot into the sky were engraved with patterns. It was obviously an altar.
An altar appearing in the Ghost Dark Realm couldn't be a mascot.
"Which way?" Pan Dong asked. After these days, although Ye Kong had the lowest cultivation, he had become their backbone.
Which way? Ye Kong hesitated for a moment. He had two choices. One was to walk around the basin and see if there was a special way out. The other was to walk into the center of the basin and explore the altar.
This basin was too big. It would take a lot of time to walk around it. However, there were too many ghosts on the altar. There was no lack of powerful Ghost Emperors. Even the Wolf King couldn't deal with them. It was too dangerous.
Just as he was struggling to make a choice, he saw a group of cultivators walking out of the canyon. The leader was Tian Can Demon School's Divine Lord Can Yu.
Although it was hard to tell if they were friend or foe, they had worked together before. It was a happy place.
"Divine Lord Can Yu, you're here too." Ye Kong and the others walked over. Whether they were friend or foe, it was a happy thing to see humans here.
"Hey! Surnamed Ye, it's all because of you that we had to walk in Fluttering Snow Swamp for a whole month! " Chen You rushed out and roared. He and Mute happened to bump into Can Yu and the others when they walked out of the swamp, so they returned to the team. However, he hated a certain someone in his heart.
"Go down! Can Yu shouted coldly, ordering Chen You to retreat. Then, he said to Ye Kong, "My men don't know the rules." After he finished speaking, he looked around and frowned. "This place is very strange. Now we have to work together and not be suspicious of each other. Only then can we safely reach the core of the Immortal's Mansion."
Ye Kong and the others nodded. Can Yu and the others also noticed that the Wolf King was Ye Kong's ghost pet. They were also very surprised.
Ye Kong said, "Divine Lord Can Yu is right. This place is full of ghost qi and there are too many ghost emperors. We wanted to go to the central altar to find out, but there are too many ghosts there …"
Before Ye Kong could finish, Can Yu shook his head and interrupted, "That's not right. Although the most important thing now is to find the entrance to the core hall, we don't need to open a path for others … Even if we open a path, we have to wait for the other cultivators to gather and rush in together. Only then will we have a chance. "
Everyone felt that Can Yu's words made sense. There were too many ghosts in the center of the basin. It was not something that Ye Kong and Can Yu's team could rush in. It was better to wait for the other treasure-hunting cultivators to gather and rush in together. Only then would they have a chance to rush to the high altar and find a path.
After Can Yu finished speaking, he set up a defensive array and led everyone to hide in it. Ye Kong and the others did the same and hid in the array. The strange thing was that those crazy ghosts didn't attack them. It seemed that they were also waiting for something.
They waited for an entire day. There were cultivators coming out from each of the canyons. Naturally, everyone gathered beside the formation that Ye Kong and the others had come from. The array was like a bright Mongolian yurt, illuminating a corner of the basin.
Later, Celestial Being Yang Ding, Fang Yunlin and his wife, and Pei Hang Ji Hang all came. Obviously, they also realized that this was not the time for internal strife. They also smiled and nodded to Ye Kong and the others.
At this time, there were already hundreds of cultivators gathered in a corner of the basin. These cultivators were all Yuanying cultivators and above. The Foundation Establishment Enlightened Masters, Core Formation Ancestors, and early stage Perfected Monarchs were all eliminated.
A Yuanying Divine Lord came out and said, "The Ghost Nether Region is extremely dangerous. Since we are all willing to gather and charge together, then let's choose a leader. I recommend Celestial Being Yang Ding with the highest cultivation. Celestial Being Yang Ding will lead everyone in the charge!"
Yang Ding was shrewd and vicious. He would rather hide in the back than lead everyone in the charge. He said, "Everyone, thank you for your trust. However, I'm not here to search for treasures. I just want to take a look at this place before I ascend. I won't rush to the front and fight with everyone for treasures … In my opinion, the Godly Movement Demon Sect's Fang Yunlin and his wife are very suitable!"
Fang Yunlin was furious. Just now, the three of them were fighting against the ghost emperors together. But in the blink of an eye, this old man sold him out. They didn't know how many ghost emperors there were in the central area. Wasn't charging at the front seeking death?
Fang Yunlin hurriedly smiled and said, "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to help. It's just that my sect cultivates the Godly Movement Demon Technique, which is known for its speed. If my wife and I take the lead, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to keep up … So, for everyone's sake, I won't be leading." After that, he looked at Pei Hang and his junior brothers and said, "I recommend Flying Ark Master Pei Hang Ji Hang as the leader. Don't be fooled by their Flying Ark. Their spirit stone cannons are also the best in the cloud. If they take out their spirit stone cannons and lead the charge, we won't be afraid of any ghosts!"
When Pei Hang and the others heard this, they cursed in their hearts. Damn, when there wasn't any danger earlier, everyone took the lead. Now that there is danger, everyone is hiding in the back and asking us to take the lead? Dream on!
Pei Hang's words made sense. He said, "We have spirit stone cannons, so we can support them. However, everyone knows that cannons, regardless of whether it's a cultivator's or a mortal's cannons, should be placed at the back. Only then will it have power … I've never seen a battle where a cannon is pushed to the front. Everyone, have you seen it before?
Good. The few cultivators with the highest cultivation base all had a dignified reason. None of them were willing to take the lead, let alone those early stage Divine Lord and Yuanying Divine Lord. They all looked at each other, hoping that someone else would take the lead.
At this moment, a cold snort came from the crowd. "Since you're here to search for treasures, to obtain primeval treasures and primordial ancient treasures, you must be prepared to die. Everyone is afraid of the slightest thing. If you rush in immediately, everyone will be like a plate of loose sand. I'm afraid this great opportunity will be wasted."
Yang Ding looked up and found that the person who spoke was Can Yu from Tian Can Demon School. Yang Ding was displeased. He wanted to say, "If you're not afraid, you can take the lead."
But Yang Ding thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate.
Oh, you're a group of able-bodied people, but you're letting a few disabled people take the lead … This is really inexcusable. However, Yang Ding's gaze fell on Ye Kong …
"Everyone, please listen to me." Yang Ding used his spiritual energy to suppress everyone's voice. He said with a smile, "Everyone, I have an excellent candidate." Then, Yang Ding walked to Ye Kong's side and said with a smile, "This little cultivator, although I don't know his name, he can take on this great responsibility!"
Everyone was in an uproar. Everyone here was a Perfected Divine Lord. Letting a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator take the lead? What kind of joke was this?
However, Yang Ding said, "Maybe you don't know, although this cultivator's cultivation level is low, his magical powers are not ordinary. He also has a spirit Osteosaurus that is beyond the Soul Formation stage. Speaking of which, the first person to rush into the Ghost Nether Realm is this little cultivator. And this demon cultivator beside him is his ghost pet! So, it's best for him to lead everyone in the charge. "
Everyone nodded. If this person really had this kind of strength, he was an excellent candidate.
Obviously, Celestial Being Yang Ding didn't have good intentions. Hao Yilong and Pan Dong kept sending him voice transmissions to remind him to ignore him no matter what.
However, Ye Kong walked out of the crowd and said loudly, "I'm Ye Kong! Since everyone thinks highly of me, then let me lead the team. But let me make it clear, I'll lead the team, and everyone has to listen to my arrangements. You can't come up with all sorts of excuses, and you can't intentionally evade. Otherwise, don't blame this Ye for being rude! "
Ye Kong thought it through. Since someone had to take the lead, there was no harm in him taking the lead. Besides, there were benefits to taking the lead.
Seeing that Ye Kong readily agreed, everyone nodded and said they would listen to Ye Kong's arrangements.
Then, Ye Kong made the arrangements. He released Osteosaurus to lead, Pei Hang Ji with the Spirit Stone Cannon to cover the rear, Celestial Being Yang Ding on the right, Fang Yunlin and his wife on the left, and the rest of the Divine Lord Perfected Cultivators were divided into four groups and led by each of them.
Yang Ding and the others were satisfied that they didn't lead the charge and agreed.
Then, Ye Kong released Osteosaurus and led the charge into the place where the ghosts were gathered …
Ye Kong's team, Can Yu's team, Iron Painting's team, and many Divine Lord Perfected Cultivators in his team also released their magic treasures and rushed out.
Then, the teams on the left and right also rushed out, and Pei Hang's Spirit Stone Cannon behind them also roared.
It was easy to go through trials and tribulations together, but difficult to enjoy happiness together. When there were no benefits, everyone worked together. Under the attack of Osteosaurus's Dragon Flame and giant tail, it took them four hours to break through to the high platform in the center of the basin.
However, the ghosts started to go crazy. On the high platform, there were all Ghost Emperors with Soul Formation Realm cultivation. They didn't know how many of them there were, and when one was destroyed, ten would rush in. Even Osteosaurus couldn't break through them.
The Divine Lord Perfected Cultivators also started to suffer casualties. Many Ghost Emperors crawled up from the ground and sucked the Perfected Cultivators into their mouths or bit the legs of the cultivators. Blood gushed out and screamed.
Noticing the danger, the cultivators who were previously in high spirits became afraid.
"Old Immortal, we can't hold on for much longer. Why don't we retreat and discuss it?" an early-stage Divine Lord Perfected Cultivator on the right suggested.
"How many people have died? We finally made it here, and you want to retreat? Do you think this is child's play? " Yang Ding Perfected Cultivator snorted. He raised his hand and a golden light restrained him. Then, he kicked into the place where the Ghost Emperors were gathered, temporarily relieving the situation around him.
The Divine Lord Perfected Cultivator wasn't alone. The other cultivators roared, "Celestial Being Yang Ding, you bastard! You didn't help kill the Ghost Emperors, but you killed your own people!"
While they were suffering from internal and external troubles, the altar on the high platform suddenly changed.
A column of smoke rose into the sky like a huge black tornado. This tornado was not attractive to cultivators, but it was very attractive to the Ghost Kings and Ghost Emperors. The Ghost Emperors in front of Ye Kong and the others were sucked clean, and the pressure on everyone was immediately relieved.
However, before everyone could rejoice, they saw a huge ghost head suddenly appear below the altar. It was extremely huge, like a mountain. The ghost head swallowed the tornado and all the ghosts within it. It then laughed loudly and said, "The taste is not bad, but it's still not as good as living people. This Ghost Emperor has not eaten for who knows how many years …"
The ghost head's laughter made everyone tremble.
Ghost Emperor! The Ghost Emperor that only existed in the legends, a Ghost Emperor that far surpassed the Great Perfection of the Soul Formation realm, had appeared!
