Chapter 423: Salvation Ghost Army

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When s.h.i.+ Li used the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture to devour a whole village of people, his personality underwent a huge change.

The rapid expansion of his strength had also made his courage rapidly expand.

And that kind of improvement that could be experienced with the naked eye made him even more immersed in it.

However, the side effects of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture were quickly displayed.

The more living souls he devoured, the more voices appeared in his mind. s.h.i.+ Li needed more powerful soul power to suppress these voices.

Only then could he not go crazy.

However, the fastest way to improve his soul power was to use the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture.

As a result, s.h.i.+ Li went out of control.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, s.h.i.+ Li would not be able to endure the intense pain and start to devour living souls crazily.

However, he endured it.

He wanted to change this rotten world. He wanted to resurrect his lover. He wanted revenge.

s.h.i.+ Li endured it. Moreover, under the circ.u.mstances where his own strength was insufficient.

He endured humiliation, suffering, and all sorts of oppression from other people.

No one could imagine his tenacity and perseverance.

In the end, he succeeded. Although the side effects of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture were great, his cultivation would increase at breakneck speed if he could endure it.

In just a year, s.h.i.+ Li had broken through to the Divine Ability Realm and even comprehended a divine ability on his own.

Ghost Feast!

This was a divine ability that allowed countless ghosts to swallow people alive.

It was also a divine ability that was compatible with the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture.

That’s right! s.h.i.+ Li had created a divine ability that was compatible with the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture.

This was something that he had created in pain because he had long been fed up with the noisy ghosts in his head.

He might as well refine all these ghosts once and turn them into a divine ability.

One had to admit that the power of hatred was really powerful.

“Please! I was wrong! I still have a few women here…”

The former genius died at s.h.i.+ Li’s feet. Before he died, he still wanted to ask s.h.i.+ Li to spare him.

However, s.h.i.+ Li didn’t say a word. He only tortured this so-called genius for nine days and nine nights.

He didn’t even spare the small sect, killing everyone single-handedly.

After exterminating an entire sect, s.h.i.+ Li’s strength swelled again. However, what he did to accomplish that was taboo, so the three great holy lands issued a warrant for his capture as he used living people to cultivate.

As such, he had no choice but to flee into the Cold Wind mountain range.

After fleeing into the Cold Wind mountain range, s.h.i.+ Li took another step forward. He abandoned his physical body and transformed into a Ghost King that commanded an area.

Then, he began to train the ghost army continuously in preparation to wipe out the entire world one day.

He would kill all the cultivators one by one. This way, the world would be much quieter.

Then, he would turn the entire world into a ghost realm, where everyone would be a ghost.

His will was everything. This way, there wouldn’t be any injustice, and there wouldn’t be such dirty things.

Although s.h.i.+ Li’s idea was laughable, he didn’t waver in the slightest and advanced toward this goal bit by bit.

Moreover, he knew that his apt.i.tude wasn’t high enough, so he had to borrow the wisdom of others.

He spread out the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture and let countless resentful ghosts and demonic cultivators cultivate it.

He found out the flaws of this cultivation technique and then optimized it.

Now that the disciples of the three great holy lands had entered the Cold Wind mountain range, it was an even better opportunity for s.h.i.+ Li.

“The disciples of the three great holy lands should all be so-called geniuses!”

s.h.i.+ Li sat on the throne. His entire body was covered in pitch-black battle armor, and even his face was covered tightly.

“Not only are they geniuses, but some of them are even more monstrous! I heard that the strongest batch of them have created their own abilities and are preparing to head to the Central Plains!”

“That’s right! And those people have Dao Protectors behind them. It’s very difficult to get their hands on these people!”

“…”

Below s.h.i.+ Li were a few malicious ghosts. These were his subordinates that he had subdued over the years.

“It’s fine. I still have a lot of time. I’ll get people to capture them one by one. My think tank needs to be expanded!”

Under the dim environment, no one knew what s.h.i.+ Li was thinking.

But one thing was certain, the disciples of the three holy lands were definitely in trouble.

The moment s.h.i.+ Li said that the think tank needed to be expanded, no one dared to make a sound.

The so-called think tank was actually the souls that s.h.i.+ Li had devoured.

Not only could the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture devour the souls of mortals, but it could also devour the cultivators’ souls.

The cultivators’ souls s.h.i.+ Li devoured would not dissipate directly, but they would merge with him.

Moreover, they possessed a certain level of intelligence and could fight with s.h.i.+ Li for control of the body.

This was one of the major drawbacks of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture.

This could only be slowly mended through time.

There had once been some souls that wanted to fight for control over s.h.i.+ Li’s body.

However, all of them had failed. s.h.i.+ Li’s terrifying obsession had caused countless souls to retreat in defeat. No one knew just how persistent this man was.

Every time they failed, it would increase s.h.i.+ Li’s foundation.

At present, the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture had improved a lot compared to the original Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture.

What was even more terrifying was that not many people knew about s.h.i.+ Li, a force known as the Salvation Ghost Army.

The Salvation Ghost Army had been waiting for an opportunity to bite down on a piece of territory from the three great holy lands.

Also, s.h.i.+ Li’s location was not far from the cave abode that Zhou Feng had just built.

It could even be said to be very close, only two mountains apart.

However, Zhou Feng did not know about these.

He was studying a ghost right now!

“AI! Are you saying that this ghost can increase my soul power?”

Zhou Feng stared at the ghost in front of him that was about to disappear.

He rarely saw ghosts in other places because almost all of them had been cleared away by cultivators. If these ghosts weren’t cleared away, they would easily be contaminated by resentment and turn into malicious ghosts.

Therefore, ghosts rarely appeared in this area of the Southern Border.

There weren’t even many sects that raised ghosts.

It was said that there was a country called Ghost Country in the Central Plains, where everyone raised ghosts.

As for the Southern Border, only the Cold Wind mountain range had a large number of ghosts gathered there.

Zhou Feng’s reason for studying ghosts was also very simple.

That was to find a way to increase his soul power.

From a certain point of view, soul power contributed to the AI’s computational ability.

The stronger the AI’s computational ability, the more help it would be to him.

Also, Zhou Feng now had a top-tier divine ability that he needed to cultivate.

Naturally, the more the soul power, the better. Moreover, he did not have any visualization technique, so he could only find another way.

After the AI’s a.n.a.lysis, the ghost was actually the combination of Yin Qi and soul power, aka Ghost Qi.

If the Yin Qi and impurities could be removed from it, then what was left was the purest soul power. Ir could be completely absorbed and a.s.similated to meet the requirements to improve one’s soul power.

“But the problem is how to remove the Yin Qi and impurities in the ghost and leave the purest soul power?”

Zhou Feng tried to use the Great Void Primordial Qi to destroy the Yin Qi of the ghost in front of him.

But with just a touch, the ghost was tortured to the point of dissipating.
