“A bunch of little insects dare to attack this ancestor?”
“Seeking death!”
Extreme Yin Ghost Ancestor snorted coldly. With a casual wave of his hand, endless ghostly energy surged out, eroding toward the sky filled human faced spiders.
Ghostly energy belonged to the yin attribute. To ghosts, it was like air, but to living beings of the mortal world it was an extremely terrifying force. If eroded by too much of it, the lightest outcome would be severe illness, and the worst would be the soul scattering and perishing.
That was why ghostly energy was often used by ghost cultivators as a means of attack.
However, Extreme Yin Ghost Ancestor was quickly shocked.
He discovered that the ghostly energy he released not only failed to kill those human faced spiders, but was instead completely devoured by them.
“Extreme Yin, these spiders are not creatures of the mortal world. Like you and me, they are ghost entities. Ghostly energy is ineffective against them. Use the power of your domain directly!”
At this moment, Yellow Springs Ghost Ancestor spoke loudly. He then took a step forward, ripples spreading beneath his feet. Wherever the ripples passed, a turbid river was suddenly reflected in the void.
Within the river, countless withered bones rose and sank, continuously howling as they tried to crawl out of the murky river. No matter how they struggled, it was useless, as if they were firmly bound by that river.
This murky river was not ordinary water, but the legendary Yellow Springs.
Of course, this was not the true Nine Nether Yellow Springs, but a projection manifested by Yellow Springs Ghost Ancestor’s domain.
Even so, it possessed incomparably terrifying power. One human faced spider after another fell into the Yellow Springs. Before they could even struggle, they were dragged down by the ghostly beings within the river and submerged completely.
On the other side, after receiving Yellow Springs Ghost Ancestor’s reminder, Extreme Yin Ghost Ancestor also unfolded his domain.
It was a mist like domain, also known as the Extreme Yin Domain. Wherever the domain reached, all human faced spiders were frozen into ice sculptures. Immediately after, they shattered and were completely wiped from existence.
“As expected of the two Ghost Ancestor seniors. These methods are truly impressive.”
Seeing this, Bai Yi could not help but sigh in admiration.
Mo Fan also nodded. He had already discerned the information of those human faced spiders. They were indeed not beings of the mortal world, but ghost entities known as Nine Nether Ghost Spiders. Their cultivation was not low either. Almost every one of them had early King realm cultivation.
However, as the saying went, every creature had its natural counter. Before Extreme Yin and Yellow Springs, these Nine Nether Ghost Spiders could not stir up even the slightest wave, and were quickly wiped out completely.
After their deaths, the Nine Nether Ghost Spiders turned into vast amounts of ghostly energy, which were separately devoured by Yellow Springs and Extreme Yin, counting as a great supplement for them.
“Quick, open that furnace. This king wants to see what exactly is inside!”
Mo Fan spoke. The two Ghost Ancestors exchanged a glance and simultaneously flew toward the bronze furnace. They then used vast ghostly energy to wrap around the furnace lid and flipped it open.
Boom.
In the next instant, an extremely terrifying force of blood energy shot straight up from the bronze furnace, like a pillar of blood light reaching the sky.
At the same time, an exceptionally vigorous life aura spread out from within the furnace.
Inside the cavern, which had been filled with dry bones and deathly aura, patches of verdant plants began to grow at a visible speed.
“So dense a blood energy. Such vast life aura.”
Mo Fan’s eyes lit up. Seeing that no danger appeared, he immediately flew over.
When he arrived above the furnace and looked inside, he was instantly shocked beyond measure.
Inside was an entire furnace full of blood coloured pills.
Each pill was only about the size of a fingernail, yet the interior space of the furnace was as tall as ten zhang.
How many pills must that contain?
Even with Mo Fan’s composure, he could not remain calm at this moment.
There was no doubt that these were the blood pills that Niu Xiaosheng had mentioned.
Who would have thought there would be a whole furnace full of them here.
“We have struck it rich. We have struck it rich.”
After the shock, Mo Fan was immediately overjoyed. He opened his mouth and took a deep breath, intending to take the entire furnace away.
However, in the next moment, complex runic patterns appeared on the furnace, making it impossible for Mo Fan’s Devouring Heaven ability to take it in.
In the end, Mo Fan could only settle for the next best thing. He gave up on taking the furnace itself and instead swept all the blood pills inside completely clean.
“What a pity for such a fine furnace. To be able to refine blood pills like these, this furnace must be an extremely valuable treasure as well.”
Mo Fan sighed, but then he immediately sensed a terrifying aura rapidly approaching from afar, and his heart was jolted with alarm.
“Master, run quickly. A great terror has appeared.”
Extreme Yin Ghost Ancestor shouted in alarm. Immediately after, he and Yellow Springs vanished from the spot.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
Soon, earth shaking sounds came from the distance. Only then did Mo Fan realise that an enormous creature was battling Extreme Yin and Yellow Springs.
However, after only a short moment, the two Ghost Ancestors were defeated one after the other and directly used teleportation to escape.
“Ke ke ke ke… you have quite the nerve, daring to steal the blood pills refined by a Sacred King.”
“All of you, stay here for this ancestor.”
A sinister cold laugh instantly filled the entire cavern space, coming precisely from the mouth of that enormous creature.
At this moment, Mo Fan finally saw the true form of the giant creature.
It was also a Nine Nether Ghost Spider, but countless times larger than the previous ones, reaching a full hundred zhang in size. It could be considered the king of the Nine Nether Ghost Spiders.
Moreover, under the sweep of the Azure Eyed Spirit Insight ability, Mo Fan discovered that the cultivation of this Nine Nether Ghost Spider King was actually at the mid Ghost Ancestor stage.
This was an existence as powerful as the Nine Nether Ghost Centipede above the Heavenly Wolf Hall.
No wonder Extreme Yin and Yellow Springs together were no match for it.
Looking at the battered appearance of Extreme Yin and Yellow Springs, Mo Fan did not rush to help them. Instead, his eyes turned as he shouted loudly at them, “Two seniors, you must hold on. This holy son will leave immediately to find my father, the Sea Dragon Sacred King, to save you.”
Question marks seemed to appear on the faces of Extreme Yin and Yellow Springs when they heard this. However, they quickly understood.
Was their master planning to shift the blame?
“Holy Son, rest assured. Even if we have to give up these old lives, we will ensure your escape.”
Extreme Yin immediately responded, then joined hands with Yellow Springs, fighting while retreating.
“Escape?”
“Right under this ancestor’s nose, you still want to escape?”
“No one will escape.”
The Nine Nether Ghost Spider King sneered. As it opened its mouth, it spat out a golden spider web, sealing off the location of the cavern exit formation.
“You deserve death. Do you know who my father is?”
“Hurry up and release me at once.”
Seeing this, Mo Fan immediately put on an angry act and roared at the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King.
“Naive little fellow. Do you really think that being a holy son means you can do whatever you want?”
“This ancestor has already said it. Today, none of you should think of escaping.”
“Daring to steal the blood pills guarded by this ancestor, just wait for the Sacred King to return and grind your bones to ashes.”
“Ke ke ke ke ke.”
The Nine Nether Ghost Spider King laughed strangely. Instead of rushing to attack, it adopted a cat playing with a mouse mentality and began to toy with the two Ghost Ancestors.
As for Mo Fan and Bai Yi, they were completely ignored.
The reason was simple. In the eyes of the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King, Mo Fan and Bai Yi were far too weak in cultivation to be worth any attention. With its spider web sealing the exit, they naturally would not be able to escape.
Mo Fan, however, sneered repeatedly. While the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King’s attention was completely drawn to Extreme Yin and Yellow Springs, he took Bai Yi and rushed straight toward the depths of the cavern.
That was precisely the place from which the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King had just emerged.
Before long, Mo Fan saw a scene that left him utterly shocked.
