Chapter 491
Shi Zhenxi rapidly retreated, his gaze fixed on the blue figure before him, his heart filled with boundless fury.
This was simply too much!
A fragment of his divine soul had now become a tormented ghost.
No wonder he had suddenly dropped in realm and awakened early while still in slumber.
It turned out his divine soul had been refined.
For a Golden Immortal Realm cultivator, this was an utter humiliation!
Shi Zhenxi roared fiercely, preparing to utterly annihilate the ghost before him.
Since it could no longer be reclaimed,
it was better to destroy it outright than to let others see and bring shame.
However, this was not just a single ghost.
As Shi Zhenxi approached,
hundreds of ghosts howled and swirled around him, ceaselessly biting and tearing.
A dense ghostly mist had quietly descended.
This mist completely blocked divine sense,
preventing immortals from sending any calls for help.
As the ghost army engulfed Shi Zhenxi,
a sudden flash of white light appeared,
pushing away all the surrounding ghosts.
Shi Zhenxi appeared, holding a white paper umbrella.
As he twirled its handle, a surging force erupted,
keeping the many ghosts at bay.
At this moment, Shi Zhenxi finally realized these ghosts were actually immortal souls,
some even stronger than his own realm.
This was utterly incredible!
With so many ghosts, where was the evil immortal artifact controlling them?
Shi Zhenxi lightly tapped his finger.
The paper umbrella slowly spun upward, scattering starlight over him, still blocking all ghosts outside.
When the umbrella reached about twenty meters above,
with a shift in his right hand's Dao seal,
the umbrella burst forth brilliant light,
completely dispersing the dense ghostly mist.
Only then did Shi Zhenxi notice a gigantic Summoning Banner standing not far ahead.
Could this be the immortal artifact controlling these ghosts?
His face hardened as, relying on the white umbrella, he charged straight forward.
All the surrounding ghosts were pushed aside.
Soon,
Shi Zhenxi arrived before the Summoning Banner and prepared to destroy it with a palm strike.
The banner's surface lightly trembled.
The next moment, Ye Yu suddenly appeared, wielding his battle halberd, slashing forward with great force.
Though Shi Zhenxi reacted quickly, retreating,
he was still a step too slow.
A cut appeared on his right arm,
golden blood dripping.
Shi Zhenxi looked at the wound in disbelief.
The wound itself was insignificant.
What truly shocked him was not the injury,
but that a fragment of his once-complete divine soul was again drawn away.
Previously, Shi Zhenxi knew the Soul-Slaying Immortal Annihilation Spear could tear souls.
But the process was extremely complicated and had a very low chance.
How was it that with just one strike, Ye Yu instantly plundered a portion of his soul?
Was it mere luck?
At the moment Shi Zhenxi hesitated,
eight green vines suddenly sprouted,
piercing through his body,
rapidly devouring his blood essence at a terrifying speed.
Within moments,
Shi Zhenxi's immortal energy fluctuations plummeted to roughly Celestial Immortal Realm level.
Ye Yu slowly appeared before him,
a slight smile on his face.
In fact, even when he first saw Shi Zhenxi arrive at Wuwei Tower,
Ye Yu had already planned how to kill him.
Especially after hearing Shi Zhenxi had reached the Golden Immortal Realm,
he was even more eager.
Such pure blood essence was the best nourishment for the Great Wilderness Blood Vine.
Unfortunately, there was also an outsider named Mo Jiuming inside Wuwei Tower.
Ye Yu naturally couldn't act recklessly and had to lure Shi Zhenxi here.
Both the Soul-Slaying Immortal Annihilation Spear and the summoned ghosts from ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ the Summoning Banner
were only meant to attract Shi Zhenxi's attention,
to lower his guard and give the Great Wilderness Blood Vine a chance to strike.
So far, everything had gone smoothly.
Shi Zhenxi looked down in disbelief,
whispering, "Great Wilderness Blood Vine, Summoning Banner? Are you from the Three Corpses Hall?"
Three Corpses Hall.
This was the second time Ye Yu had heard that name.
The last time was from that evil immortal Wufu.
Could it be that this evil immortal sect was quite notorious?
Ye Yu said nothing,
watching silently as the Great Wilderness Blood Vine drained Shi Zhenxi's blood essence.
But Shi Zhenxi clearly wasn't ready to die so easily.
He struggled fiercely,
discarding his paper umbrella and forming Dao seals with both hands.
In an instant, a thousand-zhang Dharma image phantom appeared again.
But unfortunately, it shattered within a breath.
Clearly, the Great Wilderness Blood Vine's speed was unmatched.
Eventually, Shi Zhenxi's blood essence was completely drained, and he perished on the spot.
The Great Wilderness Blood Vine fulfilled its desire,
leaping nearly two realms to enter late-stage Celestial Immortal Realm.
It also fed back a significant amount of immortal power to Ye Yu.
Unfortunately, this was insufficient for Ye Yu to break through the realm,
but it loosened his original realm considerably.
He believed that when the Great Wilderness Blood Vine reached Golden Immortal Realm breakthrough,
that would be Ye Yu's breakthrough day. This соpy соmеs frоm соntеnt оn М|V|L0ЕМРYR.
Tsk tsk.
No exaggeration, this thing was pretty good.
With enough blood essence supply,
it could break through to an extremely terrifying realm in a very short time.
This ability was indeed formidable.
But Ye Yu didn't linger on this thought for long.
Sensing someone approaching,
he instantly retracted both the Great Wilderness Blood Vine and the Summoning Banner.
With a light flick of his finger,
he turned Shi Zhenxi's corpse into dust.
Ye Yu didn't keep Shi Zhenxi's body to prevent anyone from knowing about the disappearance of his blood essence.
Thus, he wiped out all traces.
After finishing,
he looked northward.
Soon, several figures rapidly arrived.
They were Bai Miaoling, Bai Xichu, Shangguan Jiuu, Zhuo Lanqing, and Mo Jiuming.
Given their strength, they should have arrived much earlier.
But Ye Yu, not wanting them to see things they shouldn't,
had set up several barriers above Wuwei Tower before leaving,
which delayed them.
When Bai Xichu, Shangguan Jiuu, and the others saw Ye Yu unscathed,
they breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Jiuming cautiously scanned the surroundings and asked suspiciously, "Where is Shi Zhenxi?"
"Everywhere!"
Ye Yu's simple four words made Mo Jiuming jump back in fright.
Everywhere? So powerful?
Seeing his terrified expression, Ye Yu whispered softly,
"Don't worry, he was killed by a passing big shot; his body was blown to dust, so everywhere indeed."
Mo Jiuming furrowed his brow and whispered, "Passing big shot? Who is that?"
"How would I know? Luckily, he's dead, and that's a good thing."
Ye Yu didn't bother explaining more.
He then called the women to return.
Meanwhile, on Wuzhi Peak of Qingyun Sect in the Mortal World,
a new person was ascending again!
