Chapter 159: This is…
King Ghost Wuyou was incredibly strong!
The thousand stone wolves faced over six hundred ghostly guards. With the stone wolves possessing thirty percent of Zhang Yang’s combat power, they held an absolute advantage, overwhelming the ghostly guards to the extent that Ghost Tiger had to lead his team to counter them.
However, King Ghost Wuyou erupted with a terrifying aura, like a tidal wave of black energy that sent the stone wolves flying. He rushed forward, wielding a black boundless sword, aiming to kill Zhang Yang.
His sword faintly glimmered with an extremely subtle holy light, clearly advancing toward becoming a holy weapon.
This undoubtedly came from the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins.
Even if the Ghostly Divine Platform was wealthy, they couldn’t provide King Ghost Wuyou, at the fifth level of the Ascending to Heaven realm, with a boundless sword that was advancing toward becoming a holy weapon.
“Kill!”
Both of them roared at the same time, filled with fighting spirit.
King Ghost Wuyou sought revenge, while Zhang Yang felt his bloodline boiling with excitement. Although it was gradually calming down, there was still upheaval within him, making his fighting intent extraordinarily strong.
Whoosh!
The divine rod, empowered by the ten divine powers, seemed to contain the weight of a thousand tons, crashing down like a star river from the sky, creating ripples in the empty air. It was evident that after reaching the ninth level of the Touching Heaven realm, his combat power had surged dramatically.
He was immensely strong.
His speed was unmatched.
It was the most basic yet most domineering showcase of power.
Even someone as formidable as King Ghost Wuyou, a genius of the Ghostly Divine Platform far stronger than Ghost Wind, was startled by the might of this single strike.
King Ghost Wuyou unleashed everything he had, his body enveloped in swirling black light like a sea as he summoned a storm of sword rain with his boundless sword, all aimed at Zhang Yang.
His strike was equally terrifying.
Yet, the torrential storm of sword rain was shredded by the fierce winds generated from the divine rod’s impact, leaving only the true boundless sword to be struck.
With one blow!
The boundless sword trembled violently, resonating with a deep sound, and through the divine sword’s power, King Ghost Wuyou felt the cracks in his palms bleeding from the impact. His grip slackened in pain, sending the sword flying out of his hand. He groaned and took a step back, causing the ground beneath him to crack.
“You are not enough!”
Zhang Yang laughed heartily. Even though King Ghost Wuyou was much stronger than Ghost Wind, he was still lacking when faced with Zhang Yang, who had reached the ninth level of the Touching Heaven realm.
He felt invigorated, wild.
The divine rod struck out again.
In short, he smashed wildly!
King Ghost Wuyou’s expression grew serious; he was alarmed by how monstrous Zhang Yang’s power in the Touching Heaven realm was and even more terrified of Zhang Yang’s speed, which left him no chance to dodge or escape.
In a critical moment, he waved his hand, and a mirror flew out.
The boundless mirror!
This also came from the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins.
Clang!
The boundless mirror had just begun to emit a faint glow, but before it could unleash its full power, it was struck by the divine rod and sent flying over three hundred meters.
The terrifying gust of wind stirred by the divine rod also lashed against King Ghost Wuyou’s face, causing him pain. However, he seized the moment when the divine rod descended to let out a fierce shout, releasing a dark light. A small object rapidly expanded and unfolded, revealing a painting.
The painting was filled with various ferocious ghosts.
It was the Hundred Ghosts Picture!
This was the immeasurable divine treasure that King Ghost Wuyou had refined into his body, intending to make it his fate treasure.
Although this treasure lacked any sign of divine radiance, it held immense power and deep mystery.
Hundreds of ferocious ghosts within the Hundred Ghosts Picture roared and howled, struggling to break free.
"Still not enough."
Zhang Yang sneered, gripping the divine rod in his left hand while his right fist struck out toward the Hundred Ghosts Picture.
Soul Binding Power!
This was a divine power he rarely used—the only one among the ten divine powers specifically designed to target souls.
Whoosh!
With a single punch, the ferocious ghosts in the Hundred Ghosts Picture let out mournful cries, retreating and reverting to mere patterns. The picture itself was sent flying, but Zhang Yang’s punch did not stop there.
Bang!
It struck King Ghost Wuyou squarely in the chest.
King Ghost Wuyou had originally planned to counterattack using the Hundred Ghosts Picture, confident in its power. The picture’s hidden ability allowed it to summon a hundred ferocious ghosts, each possessing terrifying strength. Even if they couldn’t kill Zhang Yang outright, they could drag him into the picture and transform him into a ghost—or at the very least, suppress him. Believing in this advantage, he pressed forward for another attack.
Little did he expect that Zhang Yang wielded Soul Binding Power and remained completely undeterred.
As a result, the punch infused with Soul Binding Power struck King Ghost Wuyou’s chest.
King Ghost Wuyou shuddered violently; the light of his soul was extinguished in an instant. His eyes glazed over, his body stiffened, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.
With his soul destroyed, he became nothing more than a lifeless husk.
Zhang Yang grinned. "Not satisfying! Not satisfying! The Soul Binding Power feels unpleasant to use."
Dismissing the Soul Binding Power, he lifted the divine rod and charged forward, now targeting Ghost Tiger.
The ten divine powers were far more exhilarating—each punch landed with bone-crushing force, the sight of blood and shattered bones making the battle thrilling.
Ghost Tiger was already struggling against more than fifty stone wolves. Faced with Zhang Yang, he stood no chance and was swiftly struck down by a single blow from the divine rod.
With him gone, the remaining ghostly guards couldn’t hold out for long and were quickly slaughtered by the stone wolves.
From that moment on, the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins were free of anyone from the Ghostly Divine Platform.
This battle, though only mildly satisfying for Zhang Yang, had come to an end. As he collected the storage bags from King Ghost Wuyou and Ghost Tiger, he glanced up at the sky and noticed a fiery shadow. Upon closer inspection, it was Luan You’er’s Blazing Divine Eagle.
"Hiss~~"
The Blazing Divine Eagle, realizing it was being watched by Zhang Yang, let out a terrified shriek and fled in a frenzy.
It was worth noting that Ghost City, led by King Ghost Wuyou, had been locked in a long-standing conflict with Phoenix City, led by Luan You’er, with neither side gaining the upper hand. Now that Ghost City had been utterly annihilated, how could it not terrify her?
The Blazing Divine Eagle flew frantically, climbing higher and higher into the sky until it disappeared into the clouds.
At this height, even Zhang Yang found it difficult to lock onto his target.
The Blazing Divine Eagle returned to Phoenix City.
Phoenix City burned brilliantly, constructed entirely from Flame Divine Stone, its surface intricately carved with forbidden laws that resembled a soaring Phoenix Luan, subtly echoing the Daybreak Phoenix Luan in the sky.
As it rushed into the city, the Blazing Divine Eagle let out a trembling and fearful screech.
This startled Luan You’er.
As its master, she naturally understood its meaning, and her expression changed drastically.
"Did Zhang Yang release the holy corpse and invade the Ghostly Divine Platform?"
"Did Zhang Yang kill King Ghost Wuyou three times?"
"Is Ghost City completely wiped out?"
Luan You’er turned pale, her heart gripped by fear—extreme fear.
With Ghost City destroyed, wasn’t Zhang Yang’s next target Phoenix City?
She dashed into her residence and used her blood to draw patterns on a wall carved with a phoenix design.
The patterns glowed, and the wall rippled like water, revealing a hazy figure within.
Luan You’er knelt down and urgently said, "Phoenix City seeks help!"
The hazy figure slowly became clearer, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman who seemed ageless at first glance—fierce yet elegant, her phoenix eyes exuding authority.
She was Mu Wangqiu, elder sister of the current Great Xia Emperor, Mu Yaotian. A true Great Boundless, she was one of the few near-saint figures in the imperial family.
Renowned alongside Qiu Yinong of the Golden Cauldron Sacred Land, she was called the Autumn Beauty of the Southern Region—both shared the character "Qiu" and possessed unmatched talent and combat prowess.
She controlled many of the empire’s hidden forces.
The Daybreak Phoenix Ruins were under her jurisdiction.
"What has happened?" Mu Wangqiu asked indifferently.
Luan You’er quickly recounted what the Blazing Divine Eagle had seen, concluding with, "I sensed changes in the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins; it must be due to the emergence of the holy corpse. The forbidden laws can only be activated once. I beg the princess to grant the strongest power to kill Zhang Yang."
Mu Wangqiu snorted coldly. "An ant dares to disrupt my greatness—he must be punished!"
Luan You’er remained on the ground, not daring to respond.
Mu Wangqiu commanded, "Activate the forbidden laws. I will arrange for the Eighteen Imperial Guards to support you."
"As you command!" Luan You’er rejoiced.
The Eighteen Imperial Guards were composed of royal relatives chosen for their strength. They had grown alongside the princes and were destined to become shadow guards for the new emperor upon his ascension. Until then, they focused solely on training, receiving full imperial support, making them terrifyingly powerful.
Luan You’er immediately activated the forbidden laws.
Soon, the Eighteen Imperial Guards arrived.
However, the forbidden laws dimmed and could not be activated at that moment.
Luan You’er assigned tasks to the Eighteen Imperial Guards, stationing nine of them at the entrances to guard against Zhang Yang and prevent him from exposing the secrets of the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins.
At the same time, she recalled Murong Bai and his hundred Silver Phoenix battle slaves.
The remaining nine royal guards were stationed within Phoenix City.
She planned to wait for Zhang Yang to walk into the trap himself.
Unfortunately, there was one thing she did not know—the Zhang Yang who terrified her was directionally challenged.
The Blazing Divine Eagle soared into the clouds and vanished. As Zhang Yang searched for Phoenix City, he quickly lost his way, completely unsure of where to find it.
He was ready to give up.
Suddenly, the ground stirred once more.
Fiery patterns emerged, and his heart pounded as he immediately followed the direction in which they converged. He arrived at the site of the destroyed Ghost City, where fiery chains burst forth, and the shattered screen reassembled into a black vortex that connected to the Ghostly Divine Platform.
Nearly a hundred fiery chains gathered and rushed into the vortex simultaneously.
Zhang Yang’s heart raced as he whispered, "This is…"
