Above the Great Dao

He should be the Ghost God of the Thunder Ape Clan, yet his strength was undeniably formidable. The hand behind him wielded a streak of Thunder Light Sword Energy, charging at Chen Shi. Surprisingly, he didn't attack Chen Shi, but leaped in front of Chen Shi's small temple, the Sword Qi in his hand sweeping swiftly towards Stone Rock Lady!

Stone Rock Lady took several hits, her body completely unmoving. The Thunder Ape Clan's Ghost God failed to harm her in the slightest, secretly alarmed: "What race is this big-headed woman? She seems to have a stone bloodline, how could she mingle with the Skull Ghost Tribe?"

Stone Rock Lady's moves were deftly dodged by him, unable to harm him. This infuriated her, and with a shout, the sky suddenly cracked open, auspicious clouds reappearing, and from them descended Mighty Warriors, seizing the Thunder Ape Clan's Ghost God.

Stone Rock Lady curled her five fingers inward, and the auspicious clouds and Mighty Warriors were about to vanish.

Just then, the sky vibrated fiercely, revealing a face dozens of acres in size, laughing: "I've uncovered the mystery of your Spell!"

The Ghost God struck at the auspicious clouds with his palm, but the clouds swiftly shrank, transforming into a handkerchief embroidered with Mighty Warriors.

It was precisely Stone Rock Lady who had previously invoked the handkerchief to capture the Thunder Ape Clan's Ghost God.

That Ghost God's hand power struck the handkerchief, causing it to shake violently, shaking the Thunder Ape Clan's Ghost God away.

Stone Rock Lady withdrew her Magical Treasure, her Primordial Spirit soared out of her body, divine light radiating brilliantly, dispelling the shadows for thousands of miles, and clashing fiercely with that Ghost God before retracting her Primordial Spirit back into her body.

That Ghost God grunted, unable to continue hiding in the void, falling and exclaiming: "What an impressive big-headed ghost woman! I'm no match!"

"Then let's surround her!"

A surge of powerful presence came from the front, causing Stone Rock Lady's heart to tremble. She saw dozens of formidable Ghost Clan beings, large and small, blocking their path.

Among these Ghost Clan beings, only two or three revealed their thousand-foot True Body; the rest were the size of ordinary Ghost Monsters, some even bore Human Clan appearances, clearly a kind of close-humanoid Ghost Clan!

Stone Rock Lady secretly thought it dire: "These Ghost Gods, each one individually is not a match for me, but ants in great numbers can nibble an elephant to death..."

The Chi Di Ghost God's entire body ignited with fierce flames, shaking his sore hand: "This ghost woman is incredibly formidable, we might not be rivals."

Other Ghost Gods approached Chen Shi, and the Thunder Ape Clan's Ghost God said: "Then let's activate the Divine Artifact left by our ancestors to send her on her way."

The group of overwhelmingly powerful Ghost Gods looked solemn, nodding: "That ghost woman is formidable, we're no match for her. Braving it will only result in death at her hands. Better to invoke the Divine Artifact!"

Stone Rock Lady felt fear in her heart and quickly said: "Won't you try? You should dare to fight; who knows, you might just manage to kill me!"

The Ghost Gods turned a deaf ear, cutting their palms, blood flying from their bodies towards the tribes in the capital below.

These tribes were all built relying on prehistorical remnants, and as the Ghost Gods' blood sprinkled upon them, the remnants rumbled with a world-shocking aura, divine lights piercing the sky!

Without hesitation, Chen Shi invoked the Blood Lake Scripture, the Blood Lake rotating behind his head, intercepting the blood of these clan leaders from the Ghost Clan.

"Huh?"

The Ghost Clan leaders were surprised and uncertain, looking towards him, their gaze falling on the Blood Lake Hell behind his head.

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately stepped on Thunder Light, heading towards the Eastern Palace!

The aura of the prehistorical remnants grew ever stronger and more terrifying, even giving Chen Shi the feeling it was no weaker than the True King Nine Palaces!

Moreover, there were too many of them!

Nearly every village had a massive-scale prehistorical remnant, be it giant fragments of a Magical Treasure, towering city walls, palace relics, or solitary pillars and buildings!

They were activated by the power hidden within the bloodline of these Ghost Clan leaders, their potency ever increasing!

Using one's own bloodline to invoke the power of remnants, this method of Sacrificial Refinement was unheard of by Chen Shi!

"No wonder Grandpa and Granny Sha back in the day couldn't uncover the secrets of the prehistorical remnants!"

Behind Chen Shi, enormous prehistorical remnants soared into the sky, their powers intertwined, seemingly causing the spacetime of Yin Mountain to tremble violently and fluctuate!

Chen Shi landed on the giant Copper Coin, looking at the massive prehistorical remnants, and shouted: "Lady, can you invoke the Copper Coin? Fight them!"

Stone Rock Lady immediately realized, flying out from the small temple, shouting once, her Divine Power fully surging, raising the giant Copper Coin.

The Copper Coin slightly quivered, pulling out from the ground and rising into the sky.

The various prehistorical remnants were on the verge of exploding with divine might, but suddenly the giant Copper Coin burst forth with dazzling radiance, as if wings had grown from it, divine light shooting out from the square hole!

"Swish—"

The radiant light shone brilliantly, and the enormous prehistorical remnants lost their power, falling from the sky, crashing to the ground.

The clan leaders of the ghost clan were filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

Stone Rock Lady had almost exhausted her mana, panting heavily, allowing the copper coin to fall.

The copper coin still embedded itself into the earth.

Chen Shi was shocked, his eyes swept over, those prehistoric remnants that just now had displayed divine might capable of world destruction were suddenly powerless for some unknown reason. The remnants seemed to have become worthless, and even with the blood nourishment from those ghost clan leaders, they could not emit any trace of power!

"Is this copper coin truly so formidable?"

He mused inwardly, "Stone Rock Lady's method of wielding it, different from the ghost clan leaders, suggests that the copper coin indeed isn't a prehistoric relic. Could the copper coin truly be from the Huaxia Divine Continent?"

Stone Rock Lady came to Chen Shi's side, her expression unchanging, whispered: "Upper Envoy, I have little strength left, let's take the chance to slip away."

Chen Shi maintained his calm expression, stepping on thunder light, faced the ghost clan leaders, and declared loudly: "Today, joining forces with the mighty Stone, we've experienced all of your power. As I leave, who dares to stop me?"

Stone Rock Lady nodded slightly, with an air of arrogance: "If I wish to leave, those unafraid of death, feel free to try!"

The ghost clan leaders each stood in the air, refusing to yield.

Stone Rock Lady's heart jumped, she whispered: "Upper Envoy, if you die, the Lady will choose a new Upper Envoy, right?"

Chen Shi grunted, not speaking.

The Thunder Ape clan leader abruptly spoke: "Chi Di, is there something wrong with the blood lake behind his head?"

Behind him, a thousand-foot ghost god stood on the ground, staring at the blood lake of hell behind Chen Shi's head, his voice booming like thunder: "The blood lake behind his head, it is likely our ghost clan's cultivation technique, the Blood Lake Scripture."

His huge body shrank swiftly, standing next to the Thunder Ape clan leader.

The other ghost clan leaders also retracted their true forms, transforming to forms about three meters tall, a suitable height for ghost gods.

They still surrounded Chen Shi and Stone Rock Lady, not giving way.

Stone Rock Lady was about to abandon Chen Shi and escape alone, when suddenly, the Thunder Ape clan leader stepped forward, smiling: "I, the old Lei Qu, would dare to ask your esteemed name?"

"I am Stone Rock Lady of the White Bone Cave, Skull Mountain, Huaxia Divine Continent..."

As Stone Rock Lady uttered this, Lei Qu shook his head and said: "Not you, ghost woman, but this young friend here."

His gaze fell on Chen Shi.

Chen Shi said: "I am called Chen Shi..."

The Thunder Ape clan leader Lei Qu asked: "Young friend Chen, what is the cultivation technique of the blood lake behind your head?"

The other clan leaders watched him intently, with eyes full of tension.

Chen Shi said: "The Blood Lake Scripture..."

"It is indeed the Blood Lake Scripture!"

The clan leaders cheered, like thunder, some shouting, some crying, a chaotic scene.

After a while, they finally calmed down, Lei Qu changing to a kindly expression, smiling: "Young friend Chen, could we borrow your attention for a chat?"

Chen Shi glanced around, these immensely powerful ghost clan leaders certainly wouldn't let them leave, and had to nod.

The clan leaders escorted him to the State Master Palace.

In the State Master Palace, Crown Prince Xiang Kun had already heard of the trouble in the Eastern Palace's small stream. However, the ghost gods of various tribes had already arrived in the palace, bickering over the matter of the next king, almost leading to a fight.

The ghost gods of the tribes entered the palace, first to verify whether the king had indeed passed, and second to see if there was a chance to seize power. If he left, he would absolutely have no chance of becoming king!

But the Blood Lake Scripture, held by Peng Ju, was just as crucial!

He was hesitating when suddenly he heard the voice of the Thunder Ape clan leader Lei Qu booming from outside: "No need to argue over who the next king is! Our Heavenly Pond Country already has a new king!"

Crown Prince Xiang Kun jolted upright, looking over with a mixture of surprise and doubt, only to see the clan leaders of the one hundred and twelve tribes of the Heavenly Pond Country escorting a small skeleton ghost into the palace, walking towards them.

Lei Qu's voice thundered through the palace.

"The one hundred and twelve ghost tribes of the Heavenly Pond Country jointly elect Chen Shi as the next king of the Heavenly Pond Country!"
