shed silently. The boundless brilliance that filled the entire Shan Hai realm gradually dimmed as well.The Second Rank powerhouses were the first to open their eyes. Seeing this scene, they naturally...Within the golden light being stared at by both Ginger Cloud and Vast Expanse, a tiny golden lock suddenly appeared!

This golden lock is only the size of a fingernail, and it doesn't look very remarkable at all.

Golden throughout, it is unknown what material it was crafted from. It appears to have faint carvings upon its surface, but they seem like nothing at all, as if empty and illusory.

Even at this very moment, even those many cultivators from the Mountains and Seas Realm who occasionally pay attention to Jiang Yun's situation cannot see the existence of this golden lock.

Except for one person!

Lone night dust!

Although Ye Guchen didn't know what Jiang Yun was going through, or why his body had inexplicably vanished, leaving him unable to sense his presence, he could be certain that Jiang Yun hadn't truly disappeared. Moreover, his gaze could clearly see the existence of the golden lock.

For the majority of his soul was contained within that golden lock.

"... to the point where a long sigh escaped his lips: 'Actually, even though everything you've gone through, your family being sealed by the Nine Clans Dao, is all because of me, I didn't do it on purpose.'"

"Even conversely, my experience also originated because of you, or rather, because of this golden lock!"

Ginger Cloud naturally didn't hear Ye Guchen's words, his attention was solely on the golden lock appearing within his extinguished life fire. This filled him with both shock and deep confusion.

My life fire had already extinguished seven times before, but I had never discovered the existence of this golden lock.

But now, on this eighth extinction, the golden lock is finally revealed.

"This golden lock, did it always exist within my life-fire, or did it appear only after my seven rebirths through the life-fire"

"If it's always been there, why couldn't I see it before, and now I can"

Jiang Yun's confusion, besides Ye Guchen, could only be answered by Cang Mang, who was currently in a state of extreme shock.

That pair of profound eyes gazed deeply at the golden lock, and a voice, like a dream murmur, escaped his lips: "This... how is this possible"

The power of the Annihilation Pattern is enough to cause the annihilation of all things between heaven and earth. Not even the Obliteration Domain can withstand it.

"However, it is impossible to extinguish this golden lock!"

"What is the origin of this golden lock, and how did it come to be inside Jiang Yun's body"

If Jiang Yun could hear Cang Mang's words, he would naturally understand his confusion.

Although his life fire had extinguished seven times before, that kind of extinguishing was merely making his vitality disappear. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a true extinction.

After all, it was just a technique created by the Medicine God.

But at this moment, the annihilation power of the Annihilation Mark is about to annihilate his entire body, including his very soul, leaving only an immortal spirit.

This is also why, after his body had completely extinguished, Ginger Cloud suddenly felt a surge of pain.

Because the Extinction Mark discovered it was unable to extinguish Jin Suo, it increased its power, causing Jiang Yun even more pain.

Even so, this golden lock remained intact, and the pattern of oblivion finally gave up.

"Buzz!"

In Jiang Yun's bewilderment, the mark of extinction once again appeared on his life fire.

The pattern of extinction slowly rotated, radiating a strange power that caused Jiang Yun's life fire to gradually rekindle.

Apparently, this is the start of the Extinction Pattern reshaping Jiang Yun's body.

Though the life fire at this moment was merely a spark, it successfully concealed the golden lock.

No matter how hard Gingercloud tried to sense it, it was imperceptible.

If Jiang Yun wasn't sure that he didn't have any hallucinations, he would almost suspect that the golden lock he had just seen was his own illusion!

But now he had no time to think about these things, all he hoped was that his body could quickly reform.

Because he too saw the man in black emerge from the underworld.

……

With the temporary retreat of all Dead Realm Ghosts and Undead, the cultivators of the Shan Hai Realm turned their gazes to the man in black.

It's not hard to see that this group of ghosts never initiated an attack before, they must have been waiting for this person to appear.

He must be the leader of this invasion of Shan Hai Jie from the Dead World.

Adding to this, the man's overwhelming demonic aura, and the fact that his appearance even caused the gates of hell to shatter, made even figures like Dan Daozi's expressions grow increasingly solemn.

Because this man's cultivation and aura were on par with theirs, both reaching the realm of Human Dao Harmony.

But, in terms of ability, he's definitely stronger than the rest of us.

After all, he is a ghost clan member, extremely difficult to kill!

Before this, although the Ghost Clan's undead creatures in the Netherworld numbered countless, there were no powerful individuals with a human-like conscience.

This man is the first!

At this moment, the Daoist masters outside the Shan Hai realm all showed a look of astonishment upon seeing this man. "You have even recruited Zong Rui under your command"

Sen Luo laughed arrogantly and said, “Speaking of which, I have to thank Jiang Yun. As you know, Zong Rui likes Meng Qiao.”

"At first, Meng Qiao came to capture Jiang Yun, but was killed by Jiang Yun instead. I told Zong Rui about this, and he came himself!"

The Daoist Master's face showed a moment of realization, but it quickly hardened. "Since Zong Rui came for revenge, there is a high probability that he will kill Jiang Yun!"

Sen Luo said faintly, "Rest assured, he wouldn't let Jiang Yun die so easily!"

Besides, he isn't good at killing enemies. He excels in formations!

"The real battle hasn't begun yet!"

Sennro's words pleased the Sovereign, who nodded frequently. He was clearly very satisfied with Sennro's arrival with the massive Death Realm army. Indeed, its power was formidable.

Zongrui's gaze swept across the vast world of Mountains and Seas and the numerous cultivators facing him, a sneer spreading across his face.

Then, the monstrous demonic aura emanating from him surged explosively, engulfing all the ghosts and undead creatures gathered around him.

Under the overwhelming demonic energy, even the cultivators of the Shan Hai Realm dared not approach. They were unable to see through its depths and had no idea what actions the man was taking. They could only focus their attention and remain vigilant.

"Boom boom boom!"

Before they could see Zong Rui's actions, several explosions sounded almost simultaneously.

Following the sound, I saw nine more ghost gates burst open.

And from the nine Ghost Gates, nine Ghost Clan members emerged, eight males and one female.

Every person's body is shrouded in an immense aura of spirits, like a tempest swirling around them.

Including Zong Rui, the Dead Realm has deployed ten cultivators at the Human-Like level this time, along with a massive army composed of over billions of Ghost Clan and undead creatures!

At this moment, the hearts of all the cultivators from the Shanhai Realm sank to the bottom again. Almost everyone could barely see any hope of victory.

Because of such a powerful force, it would be impossible for the cultivators of the Shan Hai Realm to shake.

Even if they managed to secure enough time for Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun would still not be a match for the Dead Realm.

To such an extent that even the spirits of the land, like Di Lingzi and others, secretly regretted why they hadn't allowed Jiang Yun to destroy this Shan Hai realm earlier.

Had they destroyed the Shan Hai Realm, at least these powerful ghost clans would have never had a chance to appear.

Now, even Gingercloud might be in danger of falling.

Meanwhile, the countless ghost races enveloped by Zong Rui's ghostly aura had reappeared.

They are no longer a loose collection of individuals, but have formed an enormous and formidable army.

Within the formation, a cold wind howls and ghosts wail incessantly!

"Kill!"

With Zong Rui's command, this immensely vast formation slowly began to advance.

And those nine lone Ghost Clan powerhouses also coldly smiled, each taking a step towards the cultivators from the Shan Hai Realm.

Just then, in a space some distance from the gathering crowd, there was a sudden and mad distortion.

Although the degree of space distortion was extreme, because everyone at this moment was preparing for battle, no one noticed.

Only the crazy one's brow furrowed tightly, "How do I feel like I sensed the Great Elder's transmission of the power of emptiness"

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network at all."Rest assured!" The undying elder waved his sleeve, a whirlwind instantly enveloping Jiang Yun's body, forcefully sending him behind himself.This single move made Ginger Cloud instantly realiz...
