Chapter 616 Reaching the Heavens

25%!The strength of the spatial barrier visibly weakened.After Li An activated the Three Realms Unity and the Ghost Lord's undead army joined the fray, the rate of decline reached a new high.3.5% per minute.In less than eight minutes, this spatial barrier would completely shatter.If Li An's power, which was still increasing, were included, it would probably only take seven minutes.Then, the Ghost Lord showed Li An with his actions that it would actually only take six minutes.In fact, even the Ghost Lord himself hadn't expected the gap between himself and the two Demon Realm leaders to be so vast.The Gates of Hell didn't open.His Domain Dharma Form didn't open either.Neither of his two trump cards were used.Now, standing before this seemingly indestructible barrier, he prepared to demonstrate to the world the true results of his cultivation during this period.The "Myriad Ghosts Celestial Venerable's Appearance" wasn't the Ghost Lord's innate, flawed technique; it was merely a basic method of utilizing the two powers within him, and certainly not the reason he willingly became a disciple of the Tyrant's wife.The White Ghost War Treatise.The strongest technique of the Ghost God Path.This technique granted the Ghost Lord the same abilities as Li An.Infinitely stacked power!However, there was one prerequisite!Pain!The Ghost God Path Heart cultivated through the White Bone War Treatise possessed the ability to convert pain into Ghost God power.The conversion rate was an astonishing 100%.On the battlefield, regardless of friend or foe, every additional bit of pain increased the Ghost Lord's power.He had even already decided on his nickname.Forget about Ghost Lord.Call him King of War.On the battlefield filled with the cries of death, he was virtually invincible.Therefore, he really wanted to know.What had his master, who wrote this White Bone War Treatise, experienced?Was the Tyrant a scumbag? But one thing is certain: that man failed to protect his wife.Otherwise, this supreme technique of the Ghostly Path, forged with blood and tears, wouldn't exist.The Ghost Lord's palm struck the spatial barrier.A celestial voice echoed from within the Vermilion Bird: "I warned you."The Ghost Lord nodded in response.If one had to pinpoint a side effect, this technique had one.The process of absorbing and transforming pain requires enduring pain.However, the Ghost Lord thought this shouldn't be difficult to suppress.But if it were truly simple, his master wouldn't have given him this warning.Let's try!A new Heavenly Crippled Technique resulting from the fusion of the Enlightened One and the Myriad Ghost Lord."Myriad Ghost Heavenly Lord Domain Dharma Form, open!"The Ghost Lord closed his eyes, and suddenly, a massive skeletal hand reached out from the Gates of Hell behind him!The hand grabbed the gate, dragging his body out.Li An looked up, his mind reeling.The power of ghosts and gods transformed into armor, draping over the towering, skeletal form.Then.The Ghost Lord cast his spell again."The suffering of heaven and earth, return to my body.""The tree of anguish, take root in my body.""In the name of ghosts and gods, I vow to bear countless sufferings on my own shoulders!"The world flickered for a moment, then a thunderclap descended, like an echo from the heavens.The Ghost Lord's Dao Fruit began to sprout, a black sapling born within.The sapling swayed in the raging wind and rain.The Ghost Lord's pupils suddenly contracted!He looked down sharply at his feet.Points of white light rose from the boundless Third Great Wall Desert.Only he could see these points of light.Each one represented a pain yet to be swallowed."I warned you." His master's admonition echoed in his mind.In his original imagination, he had only intended to endure the suffering of all living beings in this world.He had never imagined thatsuch a vast land would be filled with the lingering anguish of so many dead, and that he would even absorb the anguish of these fallen warriors!The points of light multiplied, covering the sky and rapidly converging upon the Ghost Lord's body.In the last second before his mind succumbed to madness, he issued a single command to the Dharma Image behind him—shatter the barrier before him!Then.Before everyone's eyes, a skeleton knelt, clutching its head, roaring to the heavens, emitting a heart-wrenching wail.But then.The power of the Heavenly Crippled Dharma Image also surged at a visible speed!Third Heaven.Fourth Heaven.Fifth Heaven…In less than a minute.The power of the Heavenly Crippled Dharma Image was raised to the sixth heaven!Suddenly, Li An felt a gust of wind.Wu Wang Xian, quick as lightning, grabbed his shoulder and fled thousands of miles away.Flying backward in the gale, Li An clearly saw that the towering Dharma image burst forth with blazing white light, like a white sun illuminating the world.The Dharma image raised its head, unleashing a torrent of white light and emitting an extremely painful howl!Three.Two.One.The white light engulfed heaven and earth.The Ghost Lord's Dharma image exploded!But fortunately, he gave the order in time to attack the spatial barrier!The force of the explosion slammed into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Severing Cage."Crack!" Zhuang Yongzhan's lips trembled slightly, for a crisp sound rang out in his spiritual palace.Why could he manipulate this Heavenly Weapon at will?Because the true body was within him.Now, he clearly saw that a crack had appeared in this Heavenly Weapon!If its luck was exhausted, the Heavenly Weapon would only become dim and lifeless.What does it mean that it shattered? At that moment, the power released by the exploding Ghost Lord had exceeded the limit, surpassing the barrier's capacity to withstand a single attack, thus affecting his main body.But after recovering, 7% remained.Most importantly…He still had the Eternal Source Lamp, which contained remaining fortune to replenish the barrier!Foolish young man, do you think our Celestial Realm's methods are so simple?Do you think crushing a Heavenly Martial is enough?Inside the Spirit Mansion.Zhuang Yongzhan quickly connected the Eternal Source Lamp to the spatial barrier!Until now.Ten minutes have passed.The number of human warriors in the 40-60 war zones has already reached several thousand.Can the Human Realm afford to fight this second round?Zhuang Yongzhan let out a cold laugh.But suddenly, a triumphant voice sounded behind him."Go in!"Blackness filled Zhuang Yongzhan's entire vision, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.The next second, he lost all consciousness and all contact with the outside world.Finally. With a loud "bang," the coffin lid slammed shut.Outside the coffin, the "Immortal of No Return" dusted off his hands and scoffed, "So many magic treasures, huh?"Then, he quickly raised his hand towards the Vermilion Bird, saying, "Lend me the power of the Seventh Heaven, or I can't seal it!"The Vermilion Bird frowned, unsure how to respond, but the opportunity was fleeting. Controlling the murderous aura of the Vermilion Bird's fire, he unleashed his attack."Good timing," the immortal chuckled, quickly gathering his fierce flames.The flames ignited the immortal's right hand.Then, he swept his right hand domineeringly in front of him.Four blank, golden talismans appeared. He swiftly wrote four large characters on the flames of his fingers:"Ten! Absolute! Seal! Coffin!"Then, the immortal quickly grabbed the four talismans, each inscribed with a different character, and slapped them onto the top of the coffin lid."The blockade will last a maximum of 10 minutes.""Go quickly and call for reinforcements from your human race.""Young friend, Li An, let's rewind." The immortal wiped the sweat from his brow and turned to look for Li An.He was gone, heading straight for War Zone 40.Because the enemy wasn't dead yet.Every second the reinforcements were delayed meant another second of fighting on our side.Li An said the rewind time was twenty minutes.There were still ten minutes left; he had to go to the main battlefield to engage in combat."You, you, you!" The immortal's beard bristled with anger. "This young man doesn't value the lives of old men!""It's alright." The immortal voice sounded again, saying, "I've already contacted my former comrades; they will come immediately to take over the battlefield, including resolving the Azure Heaven Poison within Li An's body.""I want to ask, is your surname Yu, and your given name Shan?"Yu Shan.The immortal's face stiffened. For any immortal cultivator, having their background exposed was a major headache.But things have come to this…Yu Shan: “You’ve heard my story?”“Your story isn’t over yet, is it?” “Vermilion Bird” smiled.“Why did you suddenly decide to reveal your identity?”Yu Shan looked up helplessly and said, “The Zhuang Clan suffered a crushing defeat. The Heng Clan’s celestial sorcerers have opened their eyes and seen me.”“Vermilion Bird” said calmly, “In the beginning of the era, you personally slew the Heng Heavenly Emperor’s mortal avatar. Knowing that the enemy this time is the Heng Clan, you still came. You must have already planned to be exposed.”“No, to be precise…”Yu Shan looked at the sky, meeting the gaze of the Heavenly Eye, which had nothing to do with Heng, and smiled brightly.“Tell your master.”“The second battle has begun.”“Vermilion Bird” sighed, “Truly worthy of being called the Immortal Ancestor.”One of the Five Ancestors: Immortal Ancestor.Real Name: Yu Shan.Daoist Title: Tongtian.Battle Record: Slew the Heng Heavenly Emperor’s mortal avatar!
