"Hey, it's the Raging Sword Roar of Earth Level Seven!"
The furious and grimacing Ghost Messenger cackled, suddenly conjuring a blood-red round shield in his hand. He laughed heartily, "Come on, let me show you my Death Shield from the Stellar Realm. Today, I will make you kneel and beg for mercy, ha ha ha..."
The Raging Sword Roar surged forth, crashing against the opponent's crimson shield with a loud bang. Instantly, the energy shattered, and the attack wave of Raging Sword Roar was effortlessly neutralized. The Ghost Messenger merely laughed, "You can't even break my Death Shield. Kid, although you possess the cultivation of Earth Level Seven, you are still destined to be my meal!"
As he spoke, the Ghost Messenger opened his hand, transforming his right hand into a blood-colored claw. With a series of breaking wind sounds, he ghosted past and struck fiercely at Ye Yang's chest!
"Bang!"
The fierce energy shattered as the claw left a mark on Ye Yang's Armor. Indeed, this was a powerhouse of Starry Sky Level; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pierce through Ye Yang's Vital Energy Shield so easily.
However, compared to the Ghost Messenger's violent and grim smile, Ye Yang's smile was much brighter. Just one smile made the Ghost Messenger's heart race. In that moment, the young man dressed as a hero suddenly became unfathomable, and even his True Qi surged within him, rising again and again as if it had no end!
"Ha!"
With a roar, Ye Yang unleashed his full power, removing the suppression on his strength. The force of Starry Sky Seventh Level erupted forth as flames swirled around his fist. He delivered a heavy blow towards the Death Shield that was crossed in front of the opponent's chest!
"Bang!"
The sound of impact echoed through the jungle. With just one strike, countless cracks appeared on the Death Shield. In the next moment, the entire blood-red shield shattered completely. Ye Yang had broken the opponent's shield with just one punch, and the roaring flames even ignited the banners behind the Ghost Messenger.
"Ahhh..."
Rolling helplessly on the ground, the Ghost Messenger's cries resembled that of a slaughtered pig.
Ye Yang stepped closer and suddenly delivered a knee strike, causing the Ghost Messenger's nose to bend to one side as black blood flowed freely from him, making his cries even more miserable.
"How about it? Do you still want to eat me?" Ye Yang said with a smile while holding the Azure Soul Sword, looking at the Ghost Messenger.
"You little thief from Heavenly Kill!"
Ghost Messenger slid backward like a loach, pulling out a banner from behind while chanting, "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! Souls unite, all heed my command!"
Suddenly, countless cold energies surged, causing the surroundings to tremble, and even Ye Yang noticed the change.
"Thud thud thud..."
The ground cracked open, and rotting arms broke through the surface. Following that, numerous decaying corpses emerged with horrifying howls; they were all the deceased summoned by Ghost Messenger.
"Bah!"
Ye Yang scoffed and said, "You dare disturb the dead? Do you have any respect for them? I think you, Ghost Messenger, deserve to be utterly destroyed!"
With fingers spread wide, Blazing Fire Net surged and suddenly enveloped Ghost Messenger. The scorching flames burned its body, causing Ghost Messenger to howl in agony. As for the summoned corpses, they couldn't even enter Ye Yang's domain and were directly repelled far away. It was then that Ghost Messenger realized how vast the gap was between itself and this hero before it!
"Thud!"
Kneeling on the ground, Ghost Messenger cried out in despair, "Please spare me, Young Hero. I won't dare again. As long as you don't kill me, I can offer you the souls of thousands of young girls from the Ghost Realm. I only ask for your mercy on my worthless life!"
"Oh? There are young girl Souls in the Ghost Realm?" Ye Yang asked in surprise.
"Yes!"
Ghost Messenger licked its lips and continued shamelessly despite being burned by Blazing Fire Net, "Every messenger of the ghost gate has the power to collect souls. Almost every Ghost Messenger imprisons beautiful young women's Souls, preventing them from entering reincarnation, enjoying them night after night."
Ye Yang was furious: "Enjoying night after night? How can a Soul Entity enjoy itself? Don't lie to me! I'll send you into endless reincarnation and destroy you completely!"
"Please, no, Young Hero!"
Ghost Messenger repeatedly bowed down and said, "I still have a hundred Vitality Pills, which I can give to you. These Vitality Pills help living beings absorb elemental power in the Boundless Purgatory. They are treasures for cultivation! Please spare my life; I will serve you faithfully in the future!"
"Vitality Pills?" Ye Yang became interested and reached out. "Bring them all!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The Ghost Messenger reached for a gourd at his waist and tossed it to Ye Yang. Shaking it, he confirmed that it was filled with countless elixirs. This was indeed a good item, as Ye Yang would need to stay in the Boundless Purgatory for a long time.
After dispersing the Blazing Fire Net, Ye Yang looked at the Ghost Messenger and said calmly, "Since that's the case, I'll spare your life for now. Tell me, how many young girls' souls have you imprisoned in the Boundless Purgatory?"
"Not in the Boundless Purgatory; such an extremely scorching place is beyond my ability to endure for long. It's in the layer above the Boundless Purgatory, in the Carefree Realm."
"There’s a Carefree Realm in this Ghost Realm?"
"Yes, that is the final resting place of human souls. Once they leave the Carefree Realm, they must enter the Boundless Purgatory to undergo reincarnation. We Ghost Messengers are responsible for receiving souls; the Carefree Realm is our territory, and we can do as we please. Not even the gods and demons of the three realms can interfere with us."
"Very well, let’s head to the Ghost Realm!"
"Alright..."
At that moment, a sudden scream came from the nearby bushes. A rotting corpse was chasing after a person, roaring and clawing at them.
The person stumbled in panic and fell, swinging a dagger. With a "crack," they severed one of the corpse's arms and immediately gained confidence, continuing to swing the dagger to chop off the other arm. However, they stumbled again and nearly got caught by another corpse.
"These damn monsters!"
The person cursed loudly but froze when they turned around to see Ye Yang standing before them. Suddenly, Ding Xiang's legs went weak, and he fell to his knees on the ground. "So many zombies... so many... please save me, Wet Father!"
Ye Yang's mouth twitched slightly. "Who is your master..."
The Ghost Messenger's eyes lit up as he laughed, "Young Hero, this truly is your disciple! How impressive you are! Let’s quickly enter the Ghost Realm!"
"Mm."
Ye Yang had no choice but to prevent Ding Xiang from leaving at this moment. He reached out and grabbed Ding Xiang's collar, saying, "Let's go into Boundless Purgatory together. But if you die, don't blame me. Here, take this Vitality Pill first!"
He handed Ding Xiang a Vitality Pill. Ye Yang could sense the powerful energy within the pill; it might just save Ding Xiang's life.
...
The two of them entered Wangui Cave, a blood-red cavern filled with bones. A scorching wind rushed in, nearly blowing Ding Xiang away, while Ye Yang stood firm, following the Ghost Messenger deeper inside. Ahead of them appeared a blood-red deep pool, which was the entrance to Boundless Purgatory.
"This is it, Young Hero..."
"You go in first!"
"But..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Ye Yang kicked the Ghost Messenger down into the pool and then pulled Ding Xiang along as he jumped in as well.
