#632 - Legendary Ghost Emperor? Team wiped out
The moment he advanced to Ghost Emperor, Jiang Ming knew that he was completely ready and no longer needed to enhance his foundation through development.
Now, he could openly go to the Underworld Empire.
Thinking of this.
Jiang Ming's emotions fluctuated.
Soon.
He regained his senses.
His eyes focused on the seven Ghost Emperors who were frozen in place.
His eyes were full of heat.
It was a desire to swallow them whole, flesh and bones.
Snap.
Another snap of his fingers.
Jiang Ming released the time-stop effect, allowing time to flow again.
The next second.
The seven Ghost Emperors shuddered at the same time.
Looking up.
They saw Jiang Ming, who should have been surrounded by their attacks, had appeared in the air at some point, and the Thunder Fury Ghost Emperor, who had been pierced through the chest, was no longer in his hands, but had turned into a dried-up ghost corpse and was thrown far away.
"What's going on?! When did he move?"
"I don't know, I don't seem to have seen him activate his Ghost Domain."
"Don't worry about that, have you noticed that he has advanced to Ghost Emperor!"
"What!?"
As a Ghost Emperor known for his divine sense exclaimed, the other six legendary Ghost Emperors also realized that the junior who was still a Pseudo-Emperor a second ago had somehow advanced to Ghost Emperor, reaching the same level as them.
"Are you kidding me? When did Netherworld's 'Devour' have such a fast swallowing speed? Under normal circumstances, if he wants to absorb the life's work of a Ghost Emperor, it would take at least an hour, and that's if Thunder Fury doesn't resist. Only a few seconds have passed, how could he have digested Thunder Fury Ghost Emperor?"
Another Ghost Emperor exclaimed.
Feeling that the scene in front of them was completely beyond their imagination.
The strange sense of time disorder was as if they had lost a part of their time for no reason, so that they could not match the real scene.
"Celestial Evolution, what exactly is going on?"
A Ghost Emperor with a bad premonition immediately asked the Celestial Evolution Ghost Emperor, who could deduce the future, wanting to know what had happened in that second.
Celestial Evolution Ghost Emperor was silent for a few seconds, seemingly afraid of death, deducing whether he would be targeted for speaking, and only after seeing that there was nothing wrong with watching the future did he say: "I just said that he can freeze time. From your perspective, only one second has passed, but on our side, nearly two hours have passed. In these two hours,
Thunder Fury Ghost Emperor was completely digested, helping him advance from Pseudo-Emperor to a true Ghost Emperor."
As soon as this remark came out.
The seven Ghost Emperors trembled fiercely.
Holy crap.
He can really freeze time?
Are you kidding me.
How could a Ghost Emperor level be able to touch such a domain of God.
This shouldn't even be a power that the Pure Land world can master.
Who is this guy?
Why can he master such great power?
A series of doubts slammed into their hearts, making them feel absurd while having to believe it.
After all.
They are no strangers to the Netherworld Ghost Emperor's "Devour", knowing that this ability with serious negative effects can absorb the life's work of other ghosts, but it takes a little time.
Especially when the weak devours the strong, it takes more time to convert.
The two hours mentioned by the Celestial Evolution Ghost Emperor is exactly in line with the speed of absorption.
In other words.
They were really frozen in time just now.
Although only a second had passed in their senses, two hours had passed in reality. This unreasonable and heaven-defying skill can only be explained by time freeze.
Oops, misjudgment, provoked an incredible existence.
This thought arose in the minds of the seven Ghost Emperors at the same time.
Regretful emotions filled their hearts.
They originally wanted to help Thunder Fury Ghost Emperor and gain a favor, but they never thought that the main character would die on the spot, causing them to stand on the opposite side of a powerful enemy.
If they had known this, they should have listened to the Celestial Evolution Ghost Emperor's advice and stayed where they were to watch the show.
Just thinking about it.
Jiang Ming moved in the air.
"It's impolite not to reciprocate, I'll just try how strong my new Ghost Emperor is."
"Divine Kingdom unfolds."
As Jiang Ming's words fell, the scene of a million-mile grassland reappeared.
Everything around was drawn into the Divine Kingdom, including the eight Ghost Emperors and eight Yama Kings.
"Thunder, come."
Jiang Ming whispered.
The Lv8 Yin Thunder Control was activated immediately.
Under normal circumstances, the divine abilities drawn from the Lv10 skill [Devour], whether ordinary or advanced, and no matter how much the drawn person developed this divinity before death, are only Lv1 after being drawn.
The Lv8 in front of him is formed by the full data level +3 of the "Sealing" curse, the divine level +2 of the "Breaking Myriad Laws" curse, and the designated skill level +2 of the Lv6 plug-in [Cunning Dragon King], plus the amplification brought by the Divine Kingdom itself, the Lv8 Yin Thunder Control will explode with a skill intensity no less than Lv10.
This strike will be divine punishment.
Rumble.
Above the sky.
Black clouds covered the sky.
Spreading for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Everything on the ground was included in the target of destruction.
The dull thunder suddenly exploded in the high sky.
Making a crackling sound.
Black lightning swayed uncontrollably in the clouds.
Like black unknown creatures roaring up to the sky, releasing destructive energy fluctuations.
The power is unparalleled.
Overwhelming the world.
Looking at this scene.
The faces of the seven Ghost Emperors turned green.
The majesty of being a legendary Ghost Emperor could not hide the horror on their faces.
"Hey, hey, if this strikes down, it's not a joke, it's going to kill ghosts."
"How could this be, this is the Yin Thunder power that Thunder Fury is proud of, although its strength is not comparable to other divine abilities, but it is still an ability after all, but now this... this is simply a heavenly tribulation."
"Damn it, no wonder Thunder Fury was the first to be attacked, it turned out that he took a fancy to this Yin Thunder power, its strength is even more exaggerated than the original owner, did he really just advance to Ghost Emperor?"
The seven Ghost Emperors were completely panicked.
Although Yin Thunder is not as restraining to them as Yang Thunder, it is still the power of thunder after all. Once struck, the damage will be doubled at least.
They had seen Thunder Fury Ghost Emperor use this move to directly kill a Ghost Emperor-level existence.
The opponent couldn't even escape the soul body, and was blasted to pieces together.
And now the Yin Thunder power unleashed by this junior has far surpassed Thunder Fury Ghost Emperor. The Yin Thunder has already formed an anomaly, transformed into a higher form, and its strength is self-evident.
Once struck, it will definitely be a fate of no bones left.
"Junior, spare a ghost where you can, our attack did not cause you any harm, for an offense, the crime does not deserve death, we can compensate you."
A Ghost Emperor, ranked near the bottom, pleaded for mercy.
Although he still maintained the demeanor of a senior ancestor in status, his words undoubtedly implied submission.
He was willing to compensate Jiang Ming for his mental distress.
To have forced a once-legendary Ghost Emperor to such a state, one couldn't find another example in the entire Pure Land world.
It could be said that just spreading this story would be enough for Jiang Ming to cause a sensation throughout the entire Underworld Empire, becoming a topic of conversation suitable for all ages.
The other six Ghost Emperors didn't speak, but none of them refuted, clearly acquiescing to this statement.
All were willing to provide compensation to Jiang Ming.
Turning hostility into friendship.
To this,
Jiang Ming grinned.
"Survive, and I'll grant you the qualification to be my ghost servants; otherwise, die."
As the words fell,
The Yin lightning above the black clouds finished brewing.
Seven black lightning bolts descended fiercely, transforming into seven ghostly figures entwined with black lightning.
The ghostly figures weren't实体, but were composed of pure Yin lightning.
They were Innate Lightning Spirits.
Every move they made could cause heavenly punishment.
Fighting them was no less than directly enduring countless Yin lightning attacks.
The only drawback was the enormous consumption and short duration.
However, within the Divine Kingdom, empowered by the endless Ghost Emperor characteristics, unless Jiang Ming willed it to stop, the Lightning Spirits would never dissipate.
"Go."
Jiang Ming stood in mid-air.
Black clouds above his head.
His vast voice slowly rippled out.
Like the will of heaven and earth, punishing the world.
Upon hearing the command,
The seven Lightning Spirits simultaneously targeted the seven Ghost Emperors.
Their speed was so fast that the naked eye couldn't see them at all.
Often, only a black light flashed, and the Lightning Spirit had already appeared behind the enemy, releasing Yin lightning as if it were free.
Fingers, arms, eyes, heads, chests, and even the surrounding space were constantly releasing black lightning, turning the surrounding space into a lightning hell.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
"Damn it!"
"Hold on for me!"
The screams, roars, and howls of the seven Ghost Emperors continuously resounded.
Like dolls to be kneaded at will, they mercilessly endured pain that surpassed the physical.
This pain that penetrated deep into the soul made even Ghost Emperors pale in comparison.
In the distance,
The eight Yama Kings who had been taken into the Divine Kingdom, as well as the lone Tianyan Ghost Emperor, felt a tingling in their scalps as they watched this scene.
They had already retreated nearly five hundred thousand miles, yet they could still feel just how manic and terrifying the power of Yin lightning that permeated this space was.
If they were to fall into such a lightning hell, they probably wouldn't even last a few seconds.
This was definitely the most desperate way to die.
And Jiang Ming, who had initiated all of this, had become extremely mysterious and unpredictable in their eyes.
They even had some disrespectful thoughts—could their father, the Underworld Emperor, withstand such a heavenly tribulation attack?
Beside him,
The ghost blood flowing in the eyes of the Tianyan Ghost Emperor flowed even faster.
In the blink of an eye, a pool of blood had flowed out under his feet.
This was a sign that he had pushed his deduction to the extreme.
What he was deducing was naturally how to save himself in the face of such an attack.
And the result was…
Death, death, death, death, death!
No matter which direction he went, he couldn't escape the Lightning Spirit's blockade; neither a strong attack nor defense would work; the only path to self-rescue was to attack the initiator, which was Jiang Ming.
However—
The result of doing so was to repeat his previous deduction.
Either he would be frozen in time, or the other party would withstand the attack head-on without any harm.
Of course,
He had just unlocked a new way to die.
That was to try hard to dodge, which would unlock the fate of being instantly killed by a sword.
All in all.
This was an unsolvable dead end.
Once targeted, it meant there was no future.
Too scary.
This human is too scary.
The powerlessness and despair that the other party gave him reminded him of the scene when "" had descended in the past.
That time, "" had casually glared at them, and he couldn't avoid it no matter how he deduced it.
This time was the same.
No matter how he avoided it, he would head towards a dead end.
But fortunately.
He surrendered.
This was the only path to survival that he saw from countless futures.
And the result was exactly as he had deduced.
While the other seven Ghost Emperors were crying for their fathers and mothers, he was watching the show with cold sweat flowing.
This was the importance of choice.
The Tianyan Ghost Emperor thought so.
He squatted on the ground with peace of mind, watching everything with relish.
In terms of mentality, he was the only one on the scene who was still considered calm.
In such an atmosphere.
The movement within the Lightning Hell also began to calm down.
Jiang Ming overlooked from high altitude.
What caught his eye was the scattered ghost corpses.
Some of them had scattered bodies, some were charred black, and some were barely breathing, with half of their bodies buried in the soil.
The only one who was still considered intact was the fourth legendary Ghost Emperor, known for his divine sense, who was also the only one who could still stand.
"You're not bad. Although it was a trick, it's enough to prove that your strength is worthy of the name of the fourth-ranked legendary Ghost Emperor. State your name, and I will grant you a Ghost Servant Contract."
Jiang Ming said indifferently.
As if bestowing the opportunity to be his ghost servant as a favor.
The fourth Ghost Emperor's face was uncertain. He raised his head and stared at the man high above, only feeling that the other party's figure was blurred to him and extremely terrifying.
The reason he was able to live was not because he was powerful, but because the man had stopped the attack in time; otherwise, no matter how he relied on his divine sense to avoid the Yin lightning, it would be impossible to avoid it endlessly.
But—
Was he, a dignified one of the ten legendary Ghost Emperors, really going to submit to another and become the other party's ghost servant?
This was simply a disgrace.
If he had known that the ultimate outcome of his resurrection was to be enslaved, then he would rather not have been resurrected.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally lowered his proud head.
He knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Ming.
His tone was difficult as he said: "Lingpo greets Master."
His name was Lingpo Ghost Emperor, ranked fourth among the ten legendary Ghost Emperors, and was known for his powerful divine sense. Even the first-ranked Kuanlei Ghost Emperor was not as good as him in terms of divine sense.
Even the power of Yin lightning that could not be seen with the naked eye at all could be avoided by him at will.
Seeing this.
Jiang Ming nodded in satisfaction.
He bestowed the Ghost Servant Contract.
The corners of Lingpo Ghost Emperor's mouth became more and more bitter, but he only paused for a moment before signing his name on it.
He had no other choice.
Unless he had the courage to prefer shattering jade to preserving tile, otherwise, no matter how he struggled, the final result would be the same.
"Alright, go play on the side. Your master, ah, is going to become a god."
Jiang Ming waved his hand, dismissing this Lingpo Ghost Emperor who had just become a contracted ghost, as if taking in a legendary Ghost Emperor as a ghost servant was just an ordinary thing, not worth spending much effort on.
His gaze focused on the six legendary Ghost Emperors who had fallen to the ground.
The road to becoming a god starts with digesting the six legendary Ghost Emperors.
