"This..."
At this moment, countless quasi-emperor ghost cultivators, who were burning their origins and merging with the grand formation of Fengdu City, looked up in terror.
In their line of sight, the Bridge of Helplessness above Fengdu City emitted endless divine light. Within that divine light lay a trace of special power of three lifetimes, controlling their past lives and future altogether.
Every ghost cultivator has three lifetimes: their past life, present life, and future. Now, their past and future had been seized by the Bridge of Helplessness. How could they resist its control with just their present selves? In an instant, all the ghost cultivators who had ever stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness, who had experienced its trials of three lifetimes, and successfully joined the ranks of the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan, lost their freedom, completely controlled by the Bridge of Helplessness summoned by Qin Chen.
They were like puppets on strings, unable to control their own bodies.
"As expected, any ghost cultivator who has stepped on this Bridge of Helplessness may appear to have passed their trials of three lifetimes, but in reality, their past and future have already been controlled by the Bridge, becoming its puppets. How terrifying! Which ancient underworld powerhouse crafted this Underworld Treasure?"
In the void, Qin Chen floated in the sky, his robe fluttering as if he were a divine being, perceiving the connection between the Bridge of Helplessness and the countless ghost cultivators below, a look of astonishment on his face.
It was only after he grasped the Bridge of Helplessness that he sensed its strangeness.
The methods displayed by the Bridge of Helplessness were incredibly sinister, far from being benign.
"Fortunately, I didn't directly step onto the Bridge; otherwise, I would have been in trouble."
Qin Chen secretly felt a sense of fear, relieved that he hadn’t stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness directly, but instead utilized the judgment divine thunder power to shatter the Bridge's attack on his three lifetimes.
If he had been invaded by the power of three lifetimes from the Bridge, he would have become a puppet of the Bridge, under its control.
"Hmph, since you all have pledged allegiance to the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan, you are foes of this seat. In that case, you shall all become energy for the Bridge of Helplessness, atoning for your foolishness!"
Qin Chen coldly shouted, his eyes flashing with a cold light, suddenly unleashing the core power within the Bridge of Helplessness.
Boom!
In that instant, the Bridge of Helplessness burst forth with suffocating divine light. At that moment, all the controlled ghost cultivators below were horrified to see countless ghostly shadows appearing on the bridge.
These ghostly shadows moved like zombies, slowly walking on the bridge, their expressions blank, devoid of any soul.
As they walked, these ghostly figures began to burn slowly, instantly transforming into ghostly flames, merging into the Bridge of Helplessness.
Boom!
The entire Bridge of Helplessness exuded a surge of energy, heavily pressing down on Fengdu City.
"No!"
Seeing the ghostly figures ignite, all the stunned quasi-emperor ghost cultivators and powerhouses below let out piercing screams, their eyes bulging in terror.
Because they realized that these ghostly figures were actually their past and future selves, imprinted on the Bridge of Helplessness, now burning away to become pure energy for the Bridge.
A ghost cultivator, stripped of their past and future, left only with their present self—what meaning did that hold?
A ghost cultivator without a future had their life effectively come to an end, leaving no possibility of survival.
Boom! As the past and future forms of these ghost cultivators burned out, their present selves in Fengdu City involuntarily ignited as well, accompanied by countless wails of despair, as numerous quasi-emperor ghost cultivators and powerhouses burned, their origins transforming into pure power, all entering the Bridge of Helplessness.
