“Pfft!”
Just as Mo Fan was utterly shocked by the scene before him, his divine sense suddenly snapped. It too was crushed by that massive millstone. He immediately suffered a backlash and spat out a large mouthful of blood!
“What in the world is this thing? It actually lures endless soul bodies to enter on their own, then refines them into Yin Soul Great Replenishment Pills!”
In an instant, Mo Fan felt his entire scalp go numb.
From what he had just witnessed, he had gained some understanding of this eerie giant millstone.
To say nothing else, the sheer terrifying power it possessed to obliterate endless wandering souls and divine sense was enough to fill him with dread.
But soon, Mo Fan’s eyes lit up!
Since this thing had such immense power, could he not treat it as a supreme treasure of the ghost path?
At this thought, his gaze grew even brighter. If he could collect this object, would it not become the perfect weapon against ghost cultivators in the future?
What made Mo Fan even more covetous was that this millstone could condense Yin Soul Great Replenishment Pills!
The name “Yin Soul Great Replenishment Pill” was Mo Fan’s own invention. He had no idea what it was actually called. He only knew that those few pitch-black pills were brimming with soul power. For soul cultivators, they were undoubtedly a supreme tonic!
So if he could collect this millstone, would he not be able to use it not only to exterminate ghost cultivators but also to mass-produce Yin Soul Great Replenishment Pills, thereby raising the cultivation of his own ghost servants?
The more he thought about it, the more his heart itched. Without further hesitation, he opened his mouth and unleashed his divine ability!
Divine ability, Devour Heaven!
In the next moment, an enormous black hole appeared right in front of him, madly absorbing the hundred-zhang giant millstone below.
Yet the giant millstone suddenly erupted with dazzling black light and actually resisted the black hole’s devouring force.
“A mere lifeless object dares to defy this king?!”
Mo Fan raised an eyebrow. His body shook. Overwhelming demonic energy surged outward.
Divine ability, True Form of the Demon King!
In an instant, Mo Fan transformed into a blood-coloured toad nearly a hundred zhang in size. Its body was covered in endless blood-coloured dragon scales, and a pair of massive dragon wings sprouted from its back!
This was the first time Mo Fan had revealed his true form since breaking through to the peak of the King realm!
After sweeping his divine sense over himself, Mo Fan could not help but sigh inwardly. At this moment, he really was almost becoming a toad dragon. Still, at least he looked much more handsome than before, which gave him some comfort.
“A tiny millstone dares to block this king?”
“Come into me!!”
“I devour!!”
Mo Fan opened his heaven-shaking maw. He completely ignored the blazing black light erupting from the millstone. With one gulp, he took it into his mouth. Then he activated the Devour Heaven divine ability. In the end, the hundred-zhang millstone was drawn into his internal space!
After collecting the millstone, Mo Fan was overjoyed. He swept his gaze around and only then noticed that the entire abyss was filled with wandering souls drifting and dancing everywhere.
“All of you, come into my mouth!”
Mo Fan laughed heartily. He opened his mouth and sucked upward with fierce force!
“Wuuu—”
A terrifying suction swept across the entire abyss, accompanied by a huge whistling wind.
Countless wandering souls flew backward and were swallowed whole by Mo Fan in one gulp!
“Burp…”
After devouring who knows how many wandering souls, Mo Fan could not help but let out a satisfied burp. Only then did he realise that almost no wandering souls remained at the bottom of the abyss.
He turned his divine sense inward and found that the hundred-zhang millstone had gone silent within his internal space. On the other hand, those wandering souls were still drifting about everywhere, yet they could not leave the internal space at all.
“It seems the decomposition power in my internal space truly only works on living beings or things that possess vitality. Against these soul bodies, it has no effect whatsoever!”
Mo Fan murmured to himself.
He had already known before that the decomposition power in his internal space could break down living beings, even Nascent Souls. But now it had absolutely no effect on these soul bodies.
“The forces of the world are all interconnected. It seems there is no such thing as something perfect in every way!”
Mo Fan could not help but sigh with emotion.
Was the decomposition power not powerful enough?
Yet when facing these ordinary soul bodies, it had no effect at all!
Of course, whether it truly had no effect on these ordinary soul bodies or simply chose to ignore them, Mo Fan had no way of knowing.
For now, he had no particular plans for the endless soul bodies inside his internal space. He would deal with them after leaving this place!
Soon, he transformed back into his spirit body form and flew straight upward.
Compared to the awe-inspiring true form of the Demon King, he still preferred his spirit body.
Although the spirit body also looked quite ordinary, for a demon like Mo Fan who had once experienced life as a human, he still preferred the human form!
No matter how he looked at it, it just felt more pleasing to the eye!
Before long, Mo Fan returned to Bai Yi’s side. He saw that this fellow’s size had already returned to its previous state. At the same time, the power within its body had become even more surging, as if it had reached a critical point!
Rumble rumble—
Suddenly, a shocking noise came from above the abyss.
Mo Fan frowned slightly. In his mind, the voices of the two ghost ancestors Ji Yin and Huang Quan immediately rang out.
“Master, leave quickly!”
“That ghost spider is chasing toward the abyss where you are!!”
“Why did you not stop it?!” Mo Fan asked irritably.
“Master, although that spider looks hideous, its cultivation is far higher than ours by a large margin. It is not that we did not want to stop it, but we simply could not!”
“Exactly. Just now, if it had not suddenly left, the two of us would have nearly become snacks for that ugly thing!”
Ji Yin Ghost Ancestor and Huang Quan Ghost Ancestor complained to Mo Fan. It was not that they refused to block it, but they were powerless to do so!
As Mo Fan’s ghost servants, they could not possibly harbour thoughts of betrayal. They also understood clearly that if Mo Fan were killed, they would no longer exist in this world. That was why, the moment they saw the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King leave, they immediately contacted Mo Fan through the connection established by divine ability, urging him to escape as soon as possible.
Although Mo Fan felt anxious, when he glanced at Bai Yi who was still in the midst of breakthrough, he could only sigh helplessly.
The tiger pattern between his brows lit up. In an instant, he stored Bai Yi away, allowing it to break through in peace.
“Jing Lei, follow this king to meet that ghost spider king!”
“Yes, Master!”
The thunder beast transformed into a streak of lightning and merged into Mo Fan’s hand, once again becoming a thunder spear. Together with Mo Fan, it soared upward toward the entrance of the abyss.
“You truly have some nerve, daring to destroy this ancestor’s lair and ruin the arrangements of the Sacred King!”
“You are dead for sure!!”
Soon, the enormous and hideous body of the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King appeared before Mo Fan’s eyes. It opened its mouth and shot out countless golden giant webs that bound toward him.
“I am Chang Qing, son of the Dragon King Hai!”
“A mere ghost thing dares to block me?!”
Mo Fan let out a loud shout. Dark ghostly flames blazed fiercely around his body. Facing those golden spider webs, he did not dodge or evade. He burned straight through them with ease. In an instant, he charged right up to the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King.
“Anyone who stands in the way of this Saint Son dies!”
Mo Fan roared. He raised his hand and sacrificed the Jing Lei Divine Spear, thrusting it straight toward one of the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King’s abdominal eyes.
“Bullshit Saint Son. In front of this ancestor, how dare you show off?!”
The Nine Nether Ghost Spider King snorted coldly. It raised one of its pitch-black spear-like legs and directly clashed with Mo Fan’s Jing Lei Divine Spear!
Boom—
In an instant, overwhelming thunder surged forth and completely engulfed the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King.
Yet this thunder, capable of easily annihilating wandering souls, could not even break through the Nine Nether Ghost Spider King’s defences. It was blocked by a layer of black light.
“You dared to steal the blood pills refined by the Sacred King and destroy the Sacred King’s arrangements. Forget being a Saint Son—even if the Sacred King himself came, he would have to stay behind for me!”
The Nine Nether Ghost Spider King sneered repeatedly. Its spider leg flicked. Terrifying force instantly sent Mo Fan flying.
In the next moment, it opened its mouthparts and spat a massive wave of venom toward Mo Fan!
“Kid, taste this ancestor’s Nine Nether Spider Poison!”
Endless venom transformed into a great river that instantly submerged Mo Fan!
