Lan Yan stood at the side of Han Li and looked at the stagnant void around her. She was shocked.
But Han Li frowned at this moment. He waved his hand and slashed forward with his sword.
"Rumble!" An explosive sound rang out.
A golden lightning pillar burst forth and directly blasted open a huge passageway with a diameter of several hundred feet in the midst of the imprisoned ghosts.
Through the empty tunnel, Han Li could directly see the huge ghost face that appeared on the wall.
He didn't see it clearly in a hurry just now. At this moment, Han Li realized that this ghost face was different.
He saw that the face was very similar to a human, but the wide open mouth was so exaggerated that the whole face was squeezed together. It looked a bit like a demon beast.
On its head, there was a strange crown. There seemed to be a curtain of pearls and jade hanging from the front and back. It looked like the crown of the emperor of the secular dynasty. It was quite awe-inspiring.
And above and below his bloody mouth, two rows of white teeth could be seen. There were two pairs of sharp canine teeth.
In the gap between the canine teeth, there was a faint golden light emerging.
Han Li's heart stirred slightly upon seeing this, and he focused his gaze to discover that the specks of golden light were actually small golden swords that were flashing with golden lightning. They were none other than his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
With a thought, he took a step out, and his figure suddenly flashed. He rushed through the hole and shot toward the huge ghost face like a bolt of lightning.
"Hehe … I was waiting for you." At this time, a chilling cold sneer suddenly came from outside the array.
Gui Lingzi's two arms suddenly stretched out. His ten fingers quickly formed a seal and hit toward the array.
In an instant, all the ghosts that were imprisoned by Han Li's spiritual domain moved at the same time.
The ghosts around the hole immediately squeezed toward the center, and Han Li was suddenly surrounded by the ghost tide.
"Go away …"
Han Li let loose a thunderous roar as the longsword in his hand spun through the air like a windmill. Bolts of golden lightning abruptly shot forth from the sword, reducing all of the ghostly beings that drew close to him into wisps of smoke, completely unable to impede his advance.
Just as they were about to break through the ghost tide, the ghosts in front of Han Li suddenly dispersed.
Han Li cursed in his heart, "Oh no!", but it was too late.
A long scarlet tongue suddenly stretched out from the dispersed ghost tide, heading straight for him.
Han Li's reaction was extremely fast. At the same time that he stopped, the longsword in his hand had already pierced out. A golden bolt of lightning condensed in one spot and went straight for the long tongue.
However, in the next instant, a scene that astonished him appeared.
A vast expanse of golden lightning patterns lit up on the long crimson tongue, and a huge pillar of lightning erupted from within, directly shattering Han Li's lightning sword Qi and striking his body.
Han Li's entire body went numb, and even the circulation of his Celestial Spiritual Energy became a little sluggish. His charging figure was also forced to stop.
"This is …" He was bewildered.
What was released from the long tongue just now was his Divine Thunder of Evil. Although the power was not as strong as the original, it was still shocking enough.
Without waiting for him to understand, the long scarlet tongue once again stretched out like a poisonous snake. This time, it did not release lightning, but directly rolled towards his body.
Han Li tapped his toes on the ground and retreated explosively, immediately crashing into a circle of ghosts and spirits.
Although the spiritual power of these ghosts was not high, there were too many of them. Even if Han Li had the protection of the golden lightning, he was still a little annoyed.
He hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand, and a silver light door appeared in front of him.
As soon as the light door appeared, the ghosts that gathered around were stunned for a moment, then they crazily rushed into the light door, instantly drowning the entire light door.
"Treasure of the Heavenly Abode. Good lad, there's actually such a treasure. Haha … I'll let these little ghosts of mine occupy it first. After that, I'll officially change the owner." Seeing this, Gui Lingzi was pleasantly surprised.
However, before he could finish being happy, the ghosts that rushed into the light door acted as if they had seen a ghost. One by one, they crazily ran out.
However, the silver light door was narrow, and it was not easy to enter or exit. In an instant, tens of thousands of ghosts blocked there, unable to enter or exit. Waves of ghostly cries and wolf howls continuously came from the light door.
But not long after, the ghostly cries gradually quieted down. The ghosts that blocked the door also finally dispersed, forming a fan-shaped empty space outside the light door. Each of them stared at the light door and trembled, not daring to move forward.
At this time, a shadow flashed inside the light door. A pale-faced girl wearing a long green dress walked out.
"This is?" Gui Lingzi saw the Weeping Soul and frowned uncontrollably. He was a little surprised.
"Burp …"
As soon as her figure appeared, the girl burped unladylike, then looked at Han Li with embarrassment.
"Weeping Soul, this guy also cultivates the Ghost Dao. It's just that he's a bit strange. I originally wanted to figure it out before calling you out, but I can't care too much right now." A smile flashed across Han Li's face as he spoke.
"Leave it to me." The Weeping Soul snickered.
Then, she turned around and looked at the countless ghosts in front of her. Her cold gaze slowly swept across them as if she was counting her rations.
Roar … "
With a roar, black light rapidly circulated around her body. Her eyes turned blood red as her body rapidly expanded. Very quickly, she turned into a giant black ape that was over a hundred feet tall.
The black hair on her body stood up like steel needles. Strange horns grew on her head, and her fangs were revealed. The skin between her eyebrows split open, revealing a third blood-red demonic eye. Three black bone spikes protruded out of her back, and the yin energy around her was oppressive.
Under her roar, all of the ghosts were scared out of their wits, and they all retreated.
"Xing Beast, it's actually Xing Beast …" Gui Lingzi's expression also changed as he repeatedly cried out.
However, his tone was urgent, his eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with excitement. For a moment, it was impossible to tell if he was pleasantly surprised or frightened.
In the distance, Lan Yan's expression was even more frightened. In the past, the Weeping Soul always had the appearance of a young girl. Although she didn't speak much with her, she looked like a harmless little girl. Who would have thought that when she revealed her true form, she would be so terrifying?
In front of delicious food, the Weeping Soul, who had transformed into the true form of Xing Beast, naturally wouldn't be polite. She wrinkled her nose and a large amount of light shot out. Wherever the light passed, countless ghosts immediately collapsed into smoke and were sucked into her stomach.
The entire stone room was instantly filled with the cries of tens of thousands of ghosts.
When Gui Lingzi saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile. Even his eyebrows were curved upwards.
For some reason, Han Li's heart skipped a beat. He felt uneasy for no reason and immediately sent a voice transmission to the Weeping Soul, "I feel like something is wrong. Be careful."
Without waiting for the Weeping Soul to reply, Gui Lingzi, who was outside of the formation, suddenly dispersed into a cloud of ghost mist and disappeared.
The vigilance in Han Li's heart immediately increased greatly.
All of a sudden, the ground of the stone room shook violently. Rings of bloody light continuously emerged from the ground, illuminating the surroundings in a bloody red.
When Han Li looked around again, he discovered that the surrounding scenery had changed. He could no longer see the stone walls and crystal pillars. He had actually unknowingly been replaced into another space.
The Weeping Soul also snorted lightly. The ghosts that were its food had actually all disappeared.
In this space, there was neither north nor south, nor anything else. There was only a bloody space.
Lan Yan had already rushed over and arrived beside Han Li with a flustered expression.
"Rumor has it that Sacred Envoy Gui Lingzi is proficient in cultivating in the Spirit Realm and has already reached the Celestial Being Realm.
I'm afraid this is the space of his Spirit Realm, a place that people call 'Ghost Realm', "Lan Yan reminded.
"Hmph, as expected of a traitor. I'll start with you." An angry voice floated over from an unknown place.
The dark purple light in Han Li's eyes flickered continuously. After looking left and right, he actually couldn't find any traces of Gui Lingzi.
"Be careful …"
Just at this moment, he suddenly frowned and grabbed Lan Yan's shoulder, pulling her towards him.
At the place where Lan Yan had just stood, the ground suddenly rippled with a circle of light. A bloody whirlpool appeared from within, and countless bloody evil ghost arms reached out from within, continuously tearing and grabbing at the air.
Han Li's sword slashed out, and a golden bolt of lightning instantly surged out, smashing into the bloody whirlpool.
That bloody whirlpool immediately splashed out a bloody light, and then immediately disappeared.
Just at this moment, the top of the three people's heads suddenly darkened, as if a shadow had descended.
Han Li raised his head and looked, and saw an enormous figure as large as a mountain. It was currently standing at the side, raising an enormous foot, and stomping down towards them.
That figure wore a black official robe embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns. His figure was incomparably thick, and his face was even more ferocious and ugly. On his head was a crown with a curtain of pearls hanging from the front and back. He actually seemed to be the one that had appeared in the Immortal Trapping Ten Thousand Spirit Formation.
This fellow held a thick black book in one hand, and a vermilion brush in the other. He looked very much like a judge.
Han Li could even clearly see that there were rings of runes lit up at the bottom of the huge official's boots. Shockingly, they were actually inscribed with formations.
"Could this fellow be a realm spirit?" Han Li thought to himself, but his figure had already dodged to the side.
Although the Weeping Soul had manifested its true form, its figure was much smaller compared to the evil ghost judge that had suddenly appeared.
However, since it was the Ghost Dao, the Weeping Soul was not the least bit afraid, and it had an innate suppression over it. Thus, the bone spikes that suddenly protruded from its back lit up with white light, and directly collided with the sole of the judge's boots.
Seeing this, Han Li's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Don't …"
However, it was already too late. The bone spikes on the Weeping Soul's back had already collided with the formation on the judge's boots.
Rings of crimson light abruptly blossomed from the sole of the judge's boots, and they transformed into a series of crimson walls of light that came crashing down. The terrifying power of the walls of light was so great that even the Weeping Soul was forced to kneel down.
Seeing this, Han Li hurriedly rushed forward to assist the Weeping Soul, but the judge's head suddenly twisted at a strange angle, and it opened its bloody mouth expressionlessly.
The red python's long tongue abruptly shot out, and it shot directly toward him like an arrow.
It was so fast that it was like a bolt of lightning, and it was aimed directly at the vital point of his forehead.
Before the long tongue had even reached him, a stench that caused one's soul to tremble assaulted his nostrils.
