In an instant, a vast aura of rules surged through the heavens and earth, spreading out and appearing before all the ghost cultivators in Fengdu City. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, that quasi-emperor demon king was instantly crushed and devoured on the spot.
A torrent of essence shot into the sky like a towering smoke signal, piercing through the clouds.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
At this moment, all the ghost cultivators in Fengdu City stared blankly at the fallen quasi-emperor ghost cultivator, their eyes reflecting a wave of disbelief akin to a raging storm.
Fengdu City, the second largest city in the Domain of the Forest of Yan, had many ghost cultivators in attendance who were witnessing, for the first time, such audacity— a ghost cultivator daring to cause trouble here, a tale for the ages.
"Hahaha, kill!"
At this moment, a loud laughter echoed across the heavens and earth. The Emperor of the Underworld transformed into an indistinct dark shadow, soaring into the sky, swiftly sweeping toward the other approaching quasi-emperor demon kings like a bolt of lightning.
Boom!
In just an instant, he enveloped another quasi-emperor demon king. The powerful force of the remnant soul entangled with this quasi-emperor demon king, as two terrifying auras of rules collided, rapidly invading the body and divine soul of this quasi-emperor demon king.
"Ah!" A piercing scream erupted as the quasi-emperor demon king desperately resisted, but it was futile; his entire body was slowly being dissolved and assimilated, a truly tragic sight.
"Well, the ghost cultivators here in Fengdu City are quite good. A mere quasi-emperor demon king possesses such pure power. Not bad, the teachings of the Ten Halls of Yan are impressive."
The Emperor of the Underworld smacked his lips, his pitch-black eyes scanning the void, locking onto the strong ghost cultivators present in the city. The moment his gaze fell upon them, all the ghost cultivators felt a chill run down their spines, experiencing an icy sensation throughout their bodies.
Six quasi-emperors.
In just a moment, six quasi-emperors had fallen, causing all the ghost cultivators present to shiver as if they had plunged into an ice cellar.
"Retreat!" A quasi-emperor demon king roared angrily, feeling the terror of the situation.
This was the only thought in the minds of these quasi-emperor experts.
In the blink of an eye, six quasi-emperors were killed— this was unimaginable. The few powerful figures causing such a massacre before them must surely include top-tier experts capable of crushing them.
It was even possible that among them was an emperor-level expert; otherwise, no matter how weak a quasi-emperor was, they would not fall so easily at the hands of experts of the same realm. There should have been some ability to delay the inevitable.
But now, there was none!
Not a shred of resistance.
Fast, too fast.
Who exactly was it?
At this moment, many powerful figures felt a chill run down their spines and swiftly retreated. Without understanding the true identity of their opponent, they dared not act rashly. However, what shocked and bewildered them was that as many ghost cultivators from Fengdu City retreated in a frenzy, the enemy did not launch a counterattack. Instead, they retreated back to the location of the Bridge of Helplessness, merely grinning maliciously at the many ghost cultivators in Fengdu City.
Could it be that their target was not the ghost cultivator experts of Fengdu City?
As this thought emerged in everyone's minds, they suddenly saw, above the Bridge of Helplessness, a quasi-emperor expert holding a Jet Black Sword suddenly letting out a chilling laugh and glaring down at the Bridge of Helplessness.
In the next moment, under the gaze of countless eyes, this ghost cultivator reached out a massive hand and suddenly slammed it down onto the Bridge of Helplessness.
With a thunderous crash, in an instant, a gigantic hand materialized in the heavens, as if it could grasp the sky and crush the stars, and it tightly grasped the bridge of the Bridge of Helplessness.
