Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 377: Chapter 174 Ghost King is Born_3

Jhiang Cheng killed his teammates to complete the sacrifice, and you killed Jhiang Cheng, naturally, your body was tainted with the aura of Ghost Objects. You used this to confuse the already incomplete 10th Hall Yama Array Formation, and along with a few others, you escaped the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.”

“Right after leaving the forbidden land, as the rules of heaven and earth further restored, you summoned the North Mang Mountain water monster outside the 10th Hall Yama Array Formation, which allowed the evil spirits to kill the cultivators of the Imperial Capital noble family.

“If I’m not mistaken, those so-called evil spirits are the transformed beings of the cultivators who perished some time ago.

“You pretended to follow Zhang Jiang in fleeing, but in reality, you maintained your survivor identity and secretly waited for an opportunity, to see if the Imperial Capital noble family had any other reinforcements.

“If it weren’t for my sudden entrance into the midst of the water monster that caught your attention, you would have long since fled with Zhang Jiang.”

As Shen Yuan’s voice faded, a vast amount of black ghost energy surged skyward around Cheng Hu, and the bewilderment in his eyes was replaced by darkness.

“How did you find out?”

A hoarse inquiry came from Cheng Hu’s mouth.

Shen Yuan gave a faint smile:

“Deliberately, after I stepped into the water monster, you staged a life-and-death crisis in front of me of an ordinary survivor being chased by an evil spirit, to manufacture a coincidence to approach me.

“Such tactics, however, are too rudimentary, too deliberate.”

Of course, the reason Shen Yuan gave was only one of many.

The real reason is, the moment he saw Zhang Jiang and Cheng Hu, he used his Star Astrology Divine Power to infer their origins, yet his Second Realm Star Astrology Divine Power unexpectedly could not probe Shen Yuan’s background, which made him immediately certain that there was something off about the other party.

Knowing the outcome already, combined with the narrative of Zhang Jiang and the aid of the Star Astrology Divine Power to infer, it was not surprising to guess the true events.

Zhang Jiang, at this moment, had already been shocked by the truth, and he looked at Cheng Hu in front of him, unable to believe that the friend with whom he had been born and died was actually a Ghost Object in disguise.

Cheng Hu paid no attention to Zhang Jiang; in his eyes, this ordinary person was nothing more than an ant that could be killed with a flick of his hand.

He looked towards the slowly approaching Shen Yuan, with an exceedingly cold tone:

“Being able to see through Lord North Mang’s strategy, you are indeed quite impressive, but all this ends here.”

“The current Primal Chaos Realm can only support those in Divinity Transformation Realm to exist in this world, and the North Mang Mountain water monster has the effect of isolating the present world.

“Within this water monster, I can unleash all my strength without reservation.

“Even if you have wisdom that reaches the heavens, only strength is the ultimate!”

With one step, Cheng Hu’s body suddenly transformed into a huge evil demon with a green face and red hair; his aura had already surpassed the limits of the Spirit Transmutation Realm and stepped into the level of the Spirit Refining Ghost King.

Within dozens of miles around, the water monsters all followed the movements of the Ghost King’s aura. His right hand, with bulging veins, condensed a massive amount of ghost energy into a huge ghost claw and heavily slammed it towards Shen Yuan.

In the midst of the water monster, the withered trees shook their twisted bodies and let out bursts of mocking laughter, and from the shadows, a multitude of nefarious spirits continuously spawned, whispering seductive murmurs. Under one palm, boundless ghost energy suppressed all directions, and myriad demons and specters caused chaos in the mind.

Amidst the howling ghost energy, Shen Yuan’s long hair that he had gathered fluttered in the wind, and the next moment, a sword light enveloped the water monster.

In the dull gray of the water monster, it seemed as if a Great Sun had broken through the night and descended within, melting away the demons and specters in its presence.

With one strike of the Zhuming Chengye Sword, the Ghost King’s arm was severed from his body, and the giant ghost claw that fell was blasted into countless wisps of ghost energy under the might of the Great Sun.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Afterward, Shen Yuan’s indifferent voice finally echoed in the midst of the water monster.

“Strength? It just so happens, I have that as well.”
