Chapter 1617: The Alternate Form Projection

Boom!

His words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly rooting all of the spectating ghosts to the spot.

Tens of thousands of Ghost Tribe powerful beings were given a massive fright.

What the hell was this ghost doing? Was it sick of living?!

The blue fire ghost was completely dumbstruck. It didn’t think that the living beings it had delivered here would be so insolent! These black-robed figures were no longer just brave or courageous. They were clearly trying to dive headfirst into early graves!

“Insolent trash! How dare you insult the Dark Spirit King?!” The blue fire ghost exploded with rage as its eight arms shot forth toward Ding Xiaoru.

Li Yiyin opened her dazzling eyes, and a colorful energy soul sword suddenly appeared in mid-air before instantly pinning the blue fire ghost to the ground.

“Ah!!!” The blue fire ghost howled in agony.

It could feel its consciousness being scorched relentlessly. This was an agony that reached all the way into the depths of its soul!

It was quite clear that Li Yiyin didn’t want to kill it. Instead, she wanted to torture it first!

“Insolence! How dare you injure one of our Tian Ming guards!” Six more ghostly guards unleashed their Soul Formation Stage domains as they pounced toward Li Yiyin.

Whoosh…

Six colorful energy soul swords appeared in mid-air before pinning all six of these ghostly guards to the plaza.

The bloodcurdling cries of the ghostly guards reverberated throughout the entire plaza.

Insta-killed again!

Li Yiyin hadn’t moved a single step. In fact, she hadn’t even taken so much as a single glance at her victims the entire time.

The entire judgment plaza was in an uproar upon seeing this.

“That ghost is a Return to Void Stage mighty figure?!”

“No wonder it has such spunk…”

“Hmph, so what? Even Return to Void Stage mighty figures must kneel before the Dark Spirit King. The more they provoke the Dark Spirit King, the deeper the hole they’re digging for themselves.”

“Sigh, how foolish…”

The Ghost Tribe powerful beings were even more disdainful toward the black-robed figures now.

In this place, the Dark Spirit King was a god that could not be offended. No ghost dared to enrage it here as death would be sure to result.

“Who do I think I am…” the Dark Spirit King murmured as it slowly rose from its throne before looking down upon the black-robed figures on the judgment plaza with its nine terrifying heads. “I am the ruler of the northern region of the Opposite Shore Realm. I rule over a territory several million kilometers in radius! I am the god of all ghosts here! You’re all just ants to me!”

Its aura erupted forth as its divine might crashed down upon the plaza, striking all of the Ghost Tribe powerful beings present with a crushing sense of asphyxiation…

“It’s over for them! The Dark Spirit King has been completely enraged this time.”

“Hmph! To think that there are such arrogant people in this world. I have truly seen what it means to be a stupid c*nt now!”

“Haha, they’re going to get flattened by the Dark Spirit King soon.”

The Ghost Tribe powerful beings were extremely excited.

Never would they have thought that they would be able to witness judgment being delivered on Return to Void Stage mighty figures! This was a once in a lifetime spectacle to behold!

The Dark Spirit King spoke in a cold voice, “Gods won’t be enraged by ants. They’ll just crush them and move on…”

One of its nine heads—a ghost monkey head—opened its cavernous mouth where an inky-black dark energy erupted forth. Space shattered in the wake of the dark energy, and all vitality was engulfed.

An Lin was astonished. “I understand what you’re saying, but why are you attacking me first?”

Why wasn’t the Dark Spirit King attacking Li Yiyin or Ding Xiaoru, who had openly provoked it? Why was it attacking An Lin, who had remained silent and done nothing this entire time?

It didn’t make any sense!

The Dark Spirit King wore a cold sneer on its other eight faces. It wasn’t going to let those two insolent ants die so easily. It was going to kill their companions first to strike fear and despair into their hearts before slowly torturing them to death!

“It’s here! That’s the Dark Spirit King’s Dark Earthly Energy!”

“What terrifying divine dao might! The Dark Earthly Energy possesses the most powerful toxic properties among all dark energy. It is born from the extreme yin veins of the earth and can seep through all defenses. Victims will perish in excruciating agony from having their consciousness torn to shreds bit by bit!”

“Why is it using such a powerful technique to kill these ants?”

All of the Ghost Tribe spectators instantly rushed back in retreat.

They did not want to be hurt by the residual power of this terrifying dark energy.

A purple-robed man instantly appeared in front of An Lin before gently waving a sleeve through the air.

Bam!

The Dark Earthly Energy was slapped into nonexistence by the sleeve.

Not even the slightest trace of it remained in this world.

“What?!” The Dark Spirit King’s body shuddered as incredulity appeared on all nine of its faces.

The tens of thousands of Ghost Tribe powerful beings present were even more astonished as they stared blankly at the scenes unfolding before their eyes.

That ghost had just casually slapped the Dark Spirit King’s most powerful attack into nonexistence?

The Dark Spirit King was a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure, for God’s sake!

“Who are you?” The Dark Spirit King was starting to panic a little.

“Who am I?” Ding Xiaoru took off his black cloak before clasping his hands behind his back and glaring at the Dark Spirit King with cold eyes. “Open your filthy eyes and take a good look!”

The Dark Spirit King opened its eyes wider, but it was still a little dumbstruck. “So… who are you?”

A peculiar silence ensued.

Only then did Ding Xiaoru realize that he was still in his human form.

However, if he was to reveal his true form, he would probably crush this entire Tian Ming City under his colossal body.

Boom!

A burst of paramount divine might suddenly erupted forth.

All of the Ghost Tribe powerful beings present felt as if they were being confronted by an insurmountable being against whom they couldn’t even muster up thoughts of resistance.

A figure covered in crimson dragon scales, which almost obscured the entire sky, appeared overhead. This was the projection of Patriarch Zhu Yin’s true form!

It was just a projection, but the countless ghosts throughout the entire Tian Ming City began to tremble uncontrollably and sprawl onto the ground as they looked up at the projection in the sky.

“What… what is that thing?”

“It’s so terrifying… I can’t move at all!”

All of the Ghost Tribe powerful beings on the judgment plaza were completely astonished.

“Could it be… Could it be that… that’s Patriarch Zhu Yin?”

“No way… That purple-robed man…”

All of the Ghost Tribe powerful beings’ eyes widened as waves of shock surged through their hearts.

Even the ruler of the realm, the Dark Spirit King, was trembling uncontrollably. It was not an idiot, and it naturally also sensed that terrifying, unparalleled power. In fact, it could sense this power even more clearly than the other ghosts present, and it knew that this was not someone it could mess with.

It was a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure, but it couldn’t even muster up the strength to resist!

Ding Xiaoru stepped forward and appraised the Dark Spirit King with a cold expression.

“Do you still dare to command me to kneel down before you?”
