Volume 4: The Other Shore Chapter 904 He is back!
The moment the war began, both sides charged at each other.
On the ghost side, there are two half-step fifth ancient realm ghost kings, as well as numerous will ghosts. Counting the Ten Thousand Ghost Soldiers, the number of the fourth ancient realm has reached more than ten thousand!
On the ghost hunter side, there were six strong men who were half a step into the fifth ancient realm!
These six people are called the Six Great Venerables in the ghost hunter camp. Whether in strength or status, they are second only to the Taoist Master!
In addition, there are 30,000 masters of life and death and 100,000 source realm cultivators!
The ghost hunters have every advantage!
Although the ghosts have an absolute advantage in numbers, with hundreds of millions of lonely ghosts, the cultivation level of these lonely ghosts is only between the second and third ancient realms.
With such cultivation, for the Lord of Life and Death at this level, numbers have actually lost their meaning. Even if there are more of them, they are just ants. He can crush countless of them with one hand, and he can also destroy all ghosts with a single thought!
However, what ghost hunters want is not just hunting, but capturing, so as to become their food for future practice!
That was why the ghosts had a chance to catch their breath, instead of collapsing instantly due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides!
For ghost hunters, the higher the quality of the ghost, the greater its value, and the most valuable of them all is the will ghost!
Especially the two Ghost Kings of Will who are half a step to the fifth ancient realm!
As a result, the two Ghost Kings of Will were the first to be hit. They were immediately targeted by the four great venerables and were besieged!
As for the other two great masters on the ghost hunter side, they set their sights on...Gu Xiaoxing!
Because the Taoist master had said before that Gu Xiaoxing, this special existence, had also reached the half-step fifth ancient realm!
Having reached this level of cultivation, no matter whether Gu Xiaoxing is a will ghost or not, he is at least not a lonely soul ghost!
If they can capture it and devour it, they may be able to achieve the highest level like the former Taoist master, take the most difficult step and advance to the fifth ancient realm!
The six great venerables are all half a step into the fifth ancient realm. They had already discussed before the war, including Gu Xiaoxing, and were counted as three Ghost Kings of Will. They fought against each other, each vying for one!
The ones who have set their sights on Gu Xiaoxing are two venerables, a man and a woman!
Among them, the male is called the Butcher's Venerable and the female is called the Phantom Spirit Venerable.
Both of them had unfriendly looks and came at a very fast speed with ferocious smiles. Any other ghosts they met along the way would be swept away by their own huge cultivation. With a clear goal, they went straight to where Gu Xiaoxing was!
When the war broke out and both sides launched the charge, Gu Xiaoxing felt dazed for a moment, and a picture naturally emerged in his mind.
This picture comes from countless years ago, from the ancient world, and is the scene when the war broke out between the inner and outer desolate seas!
But Gu Xiaoxing understood that it was only in the past!
Now he is no longer in the ancient world, no longer in the wasteland of life and death!
The two great masters attacked at the same time, causing Fang Qingyun on the side to feel tremendous pressure!
Even though Fang Qingyun had been studying Taoism with Mingnu for ten thousand years and his cultivation was close to the peak of the fourth ancient realm, there was still a huge gap between him and the half-step fifth ancient realm!
But at this point, there is no other way. Fang Qingyun knows that the other party's target is Gu Xiaoxing.
But as for Gu Xiaoxing at the moment, not to mention his current combat power, his will has not yet fully recovered, so he can never be a match for the two great venerables!
And it is even more impossible for Fang Qingyun to let Gu Xiaoxing face it alone, so, no matter what, the only option is to fight!
Fang Qingyun is not afraid of death because she has died once!
Even if she dies, she will be annihilated before Gu Xiaoxing!
If anything, perhaps her death could allow Gu Xiaoxing to fully recover!
At this moment, Fang Qingyun was determined to let go of Gu Xiaoxing's hand and go to resist the two great venerables!
But suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing took the lead in letting go of Fang Qingyun's hand, took a step forward, stood in front of her, and whispered in a deep voice.
"It turns out that I have already been in the dust!"
The moment he uttered this sentence, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes suddenly brightened and burst into a dazzling light!
His gaze seemed to have become substance as he stared directly at the two approaching venerables!
Moreover, an immense power from the Half-Step Fifth Ancient Realm erupted from Gu Xiaoxing's body and swept across the universe!
This kind of power even surpassed the ordinary half-step to the fifth ancient realm, which shocked the two great venerables who rushed over at the same time!
The so-called half-step to the fifth ancient realm actually means that the realm of cultivation has reached the peak of the fourth ancient realm and has condensed the true self's destiny!
It’s just that this true self’s destiny is incomplete, so I cannot truly take that step and cannot truly reach the fifth ancient realm!
Hence it is called, half step!
The six great venerables are all like this!
Lonely Star, too!
But for Gu Xiaoxing, it is actually different, because the destiny he has condensed is not his true destiny!
Although his current destiny is incomplete, what he has condensed is the destiny of a god!
Even though the will of the gods has gone away and they are no longer gods, Gu Xiaoxing has condensed half of the destiny of the gods and still exists!
Gods are known to be the freest beings in the entire universe!
This makes Gu Xiaoxing, who has only condensed half of the divine destiny, stronger than the ordinary half-step fifth ancient realm strongman!
Therefore, at the moment when Gu Xiaoxing's power exploded, the two great venerables felt a tremendous pressure and palpitations from him!
Originally, the two wanted to attack Gu Xiaoxing directly, but the pressure and palpitations they felt at that moment made them change their minds. They became alert and stopped at the same time, not daring to act rashly again!
Then, the two looked at each other and saw what was in each other's eyes!
This ghost is extraordinary!
Behind Gu Xiaoxing, Fang Qingyun was even more stunned, staring blankly at the figure in front of him, as if he finally felt a touch of familiarity from this figure!
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing turned around again, looked at Fang Qingyun, grabbed one of her hands, put the coffin that had never loosened in her hand, into her hand, and spoke softly.
"Qingyun, take good care of the small coffin. Leave the rest to me!"
Gu Xiaoxing's voice became less hoarse and more gentle. It fell into Fang Qingyun's ears and into her heart, gradually calming her originally uneasy heart!
Looking at Gu Xiaoxing's face, looking at himself reflected in his eyes, and the soft light contained in them, Fang Qingyun felt a stronger sense of familiarity in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the past, the sixty years in his dream!
Then, Fang Qingyun smiled, her smile was charming and moving. She took the coffin and held it tightly in her hands like Gu Xiaoxing before, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
Venerable Butcher Blade didn't notice anything about the affectionate scene happening here, but Venerable Phantom Spirit seemed to be touched by something and recalled some unbearable past, and his expression immediately turned gloomy.
Because the beloved Taoist partner of Venerable Huanling died in a ghost hunting operation many years ago, and was torn into pieces by a will ghost in front of her!
However, although this incident made Venerable Huanling very sad, she did not blame anyone.
Ghost hunters hunt ghosts, and naturally they may be killed by ghosts in return. This is just natural, and she cannot complain about anything.
But after that incident, Venerable Huanling had one more thing he hated extremely, and that was he could not stand the sight of ghosts having feelings!
As a human being, she still has to go through life and death, and be separated from her beloved forever. But how can these ghosts, who have already died once, stay together until death? !
So every time she encountered such a thing, she would feel extremely disgusted, even nauseous!
But in the mind of Venerable Huanling, ghosts are disgusting creatures!
Although she suppressed her nausea in order to improve her cultivation and has devoured countless ghosts so far, this feeling of nausea still exists!
"A mere ghost, disgusting!"
Venerable Huanling hummed softly, then without any hesitation, he took the opportunity when Gu Xiaoxing turned around and chose to take action!
She just raised her hand and pointed, and thousands of rays gathered and intertwined to form a colorful big hand!
This huge hand contained an extremely strong force of life and death, and with infinite power, it crushed towards Gu Xiaoxing and Fang Qingyun together.
But at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing turned around abruptly, the soft light in his eyes disappeared, and turned cold, staring at Venerable Huanling and the big hand that came towards him in an instant!
There was no sign of Gu Xiaoxing making any movement, but a realm of life and death appeared, covering him and blocking the big hand!
"You want to use the Realm of Life and Death to block my full-strength attack? You fool, that's not right!"
The expression of the Huanling Master suddenly changed, and he asked, "Why can you cast the realm of life and death?!"
In the underworld, ghosts and monks are different!
Although ghosts can also practice to the fourth ancient realm, especially will ghosts, and even most of them can reach this realm, they are unable to use the realm of life and death!
This is a rule that cannot be changed in this world. Once you become a ghost, you will be completely different from a cultivator, and there will no longer be the so-called realm of life and death!
Therefore, ghosts in the fourth ancient realm will never be given the title of the Lord of Life and Death!
But this special ghost in front of him broke through this limitation. Not only could he use the realm of life and death , he could even use the realm of life and death alone to resist the full-strength attack of the Phantom Spirit Master!
Under the fierce bombardment, the giant hand of Venerable Huanling, which was composed of thousands of auras, collapsed directly.
The realm of life and death of Gu Xiaoxing only had some cracks, but did not completely collapse!
This shocking and strange scene immediately attracted the attention of many powerful people!
Even the other four venerables who were fighting with the two Will Ghost Kings had their eyes drawn to Gu Xiaoxing.
However, the most shocked were obviously Venerable Butcher and Venerable Phantom Spirit, as they saw everything!
Generally speaking, in a battle between the Lords of Life and Death at this level, it is difficult to determine the winner as both of them have the Realm of Life and Death. It is also difficult to use the Realm of Life and Death to resist the opponent's methods.
What’s more, it was a full-strength attack from a person who was half a step away from the fifth ancient realm!
But only Gu Xiaoxing himself knew that what he was displaying was not the realm of life and death at all!
After he blocked the attack from the Phantom Master, he couldn't help but lower his head slightly and look at his hands. There was still a hint of confusion in his eyes.
In fact, even now, Gu Xiaoxing's will has not fully recovered, but he can already remember many people and many things!
"Follow your heart? It's been a long time since I've followed my heart!"
Gu Xiaoxing whispered something, then put down his hands, looked up again, and with a thought in his mind, the realm of life and death disappeared in an instant!
The realm of life and death displayed by Gu Xiaoxing was actually evolved according to the method of following the mind.
He discovered that his method of following his heart seemed to be different from before!
Once upon a time, Gu Xiaoxing's method of following his heart could evolve everything only when he possessed the will of the gods and all the roots of the laws within and outside the universe!
But now, he clearly has lost the will of the gods and all the roots of the universe, but he can still do this!
Gu Xiaoxing didn’t know why this happened, but this was not a bad thing!
The next moment, Gu Xiaoxing moved, took a step forward, and his body followed his heart!
Even before Venerable Huanling could see clearly how Gu Xiaoxing moved, Gu Xiaoxing's figure had already appeared beside him, and at the same time, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed him!
Venerable Huanling was immediately shocked, and by the time he reacted, he was already covered by Gu Xiaoxing's big hand!
That hand is as big as the sky!
At this moment, under the cover of the big hand, Venerable Huanling actually felt an illusion of facing the Taoist master from Gu Xiaoxing!
But how is this possible? !
You know, even between the half-step fifth ancient realm and the real fifth ancient realm, there is a huge and difficult to cross gap!
Like a firefly and the bright moon, there is no way they can be compared!
But the indescribable life-and-death crisis told her that this was not an illusion!
It seems that if you are caught by this big hand, you will die!
Venerable Huanling did not sit still and wait for death. At the critical moment, she attacked with all her strength without hesitation, and her cultivation that was half a step to the fifth ancient realm burst out completely in an instant!
It also condenses this completely explosive cultivation into one point!
If Gu Xiaoxing's big hand is compared to the sky, a surface, then what Venerable Huanling wants is to use this extreme point to break the surface!
While making the move, she also shouted loudly.
"Butcher, why don't you help me!"
In fact, there was no need for Venerable Phantom Spirit to shout, because Venerable Butcher Knife had already moved!
When Gu Xiaoxing suddenly appeared beside Venerable Huanling, Venerable Butcher Knife had already realized that something was wrong. He immediately raised his hand and grabbed, and also used Ten Thousand Auras to condense into a big knife that was half a head taller than the others.
Then, holding a big knife, he rushed straight towards Gu Xiaoxing!
And what Gu Xiaoxing is performing at this moment is still the Follow the Heart Method, but it is also the Fang Cun Method!
In a small space, he felt as if he could control everything!
Facing the full-strength attack from Venerable Huanling that could break his face, Gu Xiaoxing did not stop at all and continued to grab the opponent.
The next moment, it was as if a sharp cone pierced into the palm of Gu Xiaoxing, trying to pierce his palm!
But as Gu Xiaoxing's big hand continued to move forward, his palm did not break, but the "sharp cone" broke first!
There is nothing wrong with Venerable Huanling's idea of using a point to break through the surface.
But if the strength of this "surface" is not weaker than the "point", or even stronger than this point, then how can it be broken? !
When the ultimate cultivation power that Venerable Huanling had condensed was broken, it was as if the entire sky was bombarding her. She was under infinite force and flew backwards in an instant.
But in the next moment, a huge knife with terrifying power appeared above Gu Xiaoxing's head, and was about to chop off his head with one blow!
This was also a full-strength attack from the Half-Step Fifth Ancient Realm. Even because Venerable Butcher Blade had accumulated strength in advance, it was even stronger than the full-strength attack from Venerable Phantom Spirit just now!
Gu Xiaoxing's way of dealing with it was also very simple. He used the big hand that had previously slapped Venerable Huanling away to swing upwards again, and with the back of his hand, he struck Venerable Tudao who was coming to chop him with a knife!
Suddenly, in the next moment, Venerable Butcher Knife also felt the pressure that Venerable Phantom Spirit had endured before!
It was as if facing the Taoist master, as if nothing could stop that big hand!
When the big knife in the hand of the Butcher's Knife fell on the back of Gu Xiaoxing's hand, with another violent roar, the big knife formed by thousands of rays collapsed and shattered immediately!
Venerable Butcher Blade was just like Venerable Phantom Spirit. He was hit hard and completely unable to control his body. He was blown away by a terrifying force and retreated an endless distance!
At this moment, countless ghost hunters who were paying attention to this place were all plunged into extreme shock!
If it was said that Gu Xiaoxing was just incredibly powerful and could use the realm of life and death, it wouldn't be like this!
But that seemingly casual wave of the hand was able to easily repel two venerables in succession, and even seriously injured the other two venerables. This was simply a fantasy!
Venerable Butcher Knife and Venerable Phantom Spirit, as powerful warriors who are half a step away from the fifth ancient realm, can be said to be second only to the Taoist Master and the Underworld Girl in strength in the entire Underworld.
Apart from this, there should be no rivals!
Even the Ghost King of Will, who is also at the half-step fifth ancient realm, should not be as good as the Venerable in terms of hard power!
This can be seen from the other two major battlefields!
Although the other four venerables besieged a Ghost King of Will in pairs, this does not mean that a Ghost King of Will can deal with two great venerables!
In fact, these venerables did not fight with their full strength. They were more focused on fighting with each other and did not go all out against the Ghost King of Will!
If it is really a life-and-death fight, a Ghost King of Will would have a hard time even if facing a Venerable!
But Gu Xiaoxing's behavior of injuring two great venerables in an instant was obviously beyond everyone's cognition!
Even the other four great venerables were shocked. During the battle, they looked at Gu Xiaoxing in horror.
They knew very well the strength of Venerable Butcher Blade and Venerable Phantom Spirit. Unless it was someone from the fifth ancient realm, it would be impossible for them to be hurt so easily!
But from what he felt, Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation had obviously not reached the level of the fifth ancient realm!
In short, it's extremely weird!
Fang Qingyun was still standing there, holding the coffin tightly in his hands with a smile on his face!
In fact, Fang Qingyun didn’t know much about Gu Xiaoxing now, and she didn’t know what she had experienced after she left.
Her understanding of Gu Xiaoxing was limited to before she left Huang Shengmie!
Fang Qingyun has been in the coffin with him almost since Gu Xiaoxing began to practice Taoism.
He was still very immature at that time.
Although during that period, he experienced many things, which made Gu Xiaoxing grow up and mature gradually.
But compared with the Gu Xiaoxing that Fang Qingyun saw at this moment, it was completely different!
But Fang Qingyun knew that this was him!
Xiaoxing, you're back!
Subconsciously, Fang Qingyun lowered his head slightly, looked at the coffin in his hand, stroked the coffin lid, and called softly: "Xiaoguan, Xiaoxing is awake, how long do you want to sleep?"
However, even though Fang Qingyun called out, the coffin remained silent and did not respond.
At this moment, the war has spread to the entire white light world. In the white light world, there are countless cracks, and the new and old ways of heaven are fighting against each other, and neither side will give in!
The thirty thousand masters of life and death and the one hundred thousand source realm cultivators all have their own goals and compete for the chance to hunt more ghosts in this battle!
Because such an opportunity only comes once, they have each made many preparations for this one and are determined to achieve a great harvest!
Although the noise from Gu Xiaoxing's side was loud, it did not attract everyone's attention. More people and ghosts were still surrounding and killing each other!
Especially the Ten Thousand Ghosts Soldiers, they have no will of their own, and will not be affected by the movements of Gu Xiaoxing. They are all fighting hard to kill the enemy!
And the Ten Thousand Ghosts and Dark Soldiers also caused huge trouble to the ghost hunters!
As former members of the Daoming Court, their existence is also special. Although they have transformed into ghosts and are lonely ghosts, they are more powerful than will ghosts!
Especially those who have no will, they will only launch mad attacks, regardless of injuries or death!
This makes it impossible for the ghost hunters who only want to hunt them to hold back, let alone take care of other things!
Even many ghost hunters at the level of the Lord of Life and Death will inevitably suffer casualties even if they fight with all their strength!
The entire world of white light is filled with war and chaos!
And this was just a brief moment of fighting, but you can imagine how brutal this battle was!
But even with the presence of the mysterious army of Ten Thousand Ghosts, the most tragic side is still the ghosts!
Especially those billions of lonely ghosts!
Although there was a group of will ghosts leading them, they did not fight randomly!
However, the cultivation levels of these lonely ghosts are not very high, at least compared with these ghost hunters, there is a huge gap in strength. In a short period of time, they have suffered heavy casualties!
This made many Will Ghosts go crazy, but they were unable to avoid it!
When Fang Qingyun raised her head again, she took it all in immediately, but she was unable to stop it. She could only watch the ghosts being surrounded and captured, with compassion in her eyes!
As for Venerable Butcher and Venerable Phantom Spirit, although they were knocked away by Gu Xiaoxing's attack, they were both seriously injured!
But as they had reached the half-step fifth ancient realm, it was obvious that they would not die so easily. Even the serious injuries they had suffered before were recovering quickly!
But when they looked at Gu Xiaoxing again, there was a hint of deep fear in their eyes. They no longer dared to attack Gu Xiaoxing and secretly gave up the idea of targeting him again!
To the extent that, if Gu Xiaoxing continued to attack them, they would choose to retreat without hesitation!
It's really the feeling of facing the Taoist master that is not so easy to bear!
They didn't know why Gu Xiaoxing was so powerful, but they could think of the only one who could suppress him was the Taoist Master!
But their Taoist master was fighting against the Hades and did not come out from the light ball world!
After Gu Xiaoxing repelled the two great venerables, he did not pursue the victory, but stopped where he was and felt himself again!
As if he had realized something, the light in his eyes became even brighter!
Then, he suddenly looked up, a thought came to his mind again, and dust stars suddenly appeared!
In a flash, the entire world of white light spread out, making the entire world dotted with dust!
