251: Bloody Ghost City, the war begins

After the destruction of the Netherworld, the Six Paths of Reincarnation closed, and the eleven Ghost Realms fell into Chaos. All institutions established by the Netherworld were destroyed, and various Netherworld treasures vanished into the Chaos, never to be seen again.

The Reincarnation Realm also became sealed due to the disappearance of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, and the place of rebirth in the Other Shore Ghost Realm was also destroyed. From then on, the Netherworld lost its authority over the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Now, apart from the Fengdu Netherworld, which is managed by two great halls, the other Ghost Realms are occupied by powerful races from the Ghost and Corpse clans.

The place where Xu Qing was located was the Human Tribulation Domain of the Five Turbid Ghost Realm.

The Five Turbid Ghost Realm has ten great Ghost Domains, and the area of one domain is no smaller than the Nanming Divine Continent.

The Human Tribulation Domain is home to many humanoid Ghost Race members. Legend has it that the Human Tribulation Domain was a place to receive Human Race souls. Later, great Chaos erupted, and the Human Race souls here entered the Ghost Dao, forming today's Human Tribulation Domain.

Of course, after countless years, these Human Race souls are no longer Human Race but Ghost Race, and they are even more ruthless than other Ghost Race members when dealing with the Human Race!

Historically, the most frequent invaders of the Eternal Continent have been these humanoid Ghost Race members!

The Five Turbid Ghost Realm was chosen because it is the Ghost Realm with the shallowest foundation among many Ghost Realms.

However, this is only relative to the Netherworld. If placed outside, the overall strength of this Realm would only be slightly weaker than the Tianyang World.

"Caw caw caw!"

"The Aura of a living person!"

Along with this ear-piercing sound, like a knife scraping, a Ghost shadow filled with Yin Qi swiftly approached Xu Qing like a specter.

"Living person?"

"How can there be a living soul in this Realm?"

The movement of the Ghost shadow startled other Ghost shadows. In an instant, Ghost shadows from a hundred thousand miles around were attracted, surging towards Xu Qing, as if Xu Qing were the legendary Tang Monk's flesh.

Xu Qing's expression was stern, without a trace of emotion.

Suddenly, an Eight Trigrams diagram appeared behind him, shimmering with dazzling golden light, as if containing endless power.

The Ghost shadow felt the threat of the Eight Trigrams diagram and let out a series of shrill screams, attempting to accelerate its pounce towards Xu Qing.

However, Xu Qing quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and the golden light of the Eight Trigrams diagram grew even stronger.

As the Ghost shadow approached Xu Qing, he fiercely waved his sleeve, and the golden light from the Eight Trigrams diagram shot out like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through the Ghost shadow's body.

"Ah!!!"

The Ghost shadow let out a painful wail. Its body gradually became transparent under the golden light, finally turning into wisps of smoke and dissipating into the air.

Seeing this, the distant Ghost shadows were terrified and fled into the distance, but it was too late. The Eight Trigrams diagram rapidly expanded, and wherever the golden light spread, countless Ghost shadows all turned into green smoke. Even the Ghost trees beneath their feet spontaneously ignited, turning into a sea of fire.

Coming to the Netherworld this time was a step in Xu Qing's God-making plan.

It was also a training ground for the Heavenly Army. Perhaps for other races, the special environment of the Netherworld naturally suppressed their combat power, but for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Netherworld Ghost Race here was their best resource.

Even if there were some losses, with the Primordial Heavenly Pool, Xu Qing could continuously create Heavenly Soldiers!

Crack crack crack!

The spatial gate behind Xu Qing was constantly expanding!

"Roar!!!"

The nine-dragon carriage was the first to emerge, followed by One by one of Heavenly Army surging out. Soon, seven powerful armies, neatly arrayed and magnificent in Aura, lined up behind Xu Qing!

"Greetings, Dominator!"

The seven great Heavenly Armies, led by their respective marshals, knelt on one knee before Xu Qing.

As the Heavenly Army's strength increased, the number of Heavenly Kings also grew significantly, making the original Heavenly Army ranks unsuitable.

After some adjustments by Xu Qing, Shang Zhang and the other ten main generals were all promoted to marshals.

The hundred Heavenly Generals who originally commanded troops were promoted to Divine Marshals, the thousand Deputy Generals were promoted to Divine Generals, and the military ranks below them remained unchanged.

"Go! Go and conquer this region, and let the beings of this region become the resources for your strengthening!"

Xu Qing waved his hand forward, and the six great Heavenly Armies, led by Efeng, spread out in all directions, sweeping forward!

Only Xu Qing and the Shang Zhang Heavenly Army remained at the original spot!

Xu Qing returned to the nine-dragon carriage. For a long time to come, he planned to stay in the Netherworld. Anyway, for him, apart from the Upper Realm, he could come and go freely in other parts of the Eternal Dao Realm.

Moreover, at this Realm, Cultivating anywhere was the same.

Human Tribulation Domain, Eastern Ghost Continent, Blood Fiend Ghost City!

In front of the ancient city, the Void Realm cracked, as if it had been forcefully torn apart by an invisible power.

Immediately after, a dazzling light burst forth from the crack, illuminating the entire world. Within the light, a powerful army slowly emerged.

These Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, clad in silver armor and wielding divine spears, exuded a sharp, murderous Aura. Their eyes were cold and firm, devoid of any emotion.

"Thump thump thump!"

As they advanced, their steps were uniform, like an unstoppable torrent of steel. Their Auras intertwined, forming a terrifying pressure that sent chills down one's spine.

Clouds billowed beneath their feet, and lightning flashed and thunder roared behind them. The entire world was affected by their Aura, as if at this moment, they were the Dominators of this world.

"Oh no! It's an invasion from outsiders!"

"Quick, sound the alarm!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

A shrill horn blast suddenly sounded, sweeping across a million miles of the Ghost Fiend Ancient City like a raging tide.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Streaks of blood-colored Ghost shadows, their Yin Qi soaring to the sky, appeared above the ancient city.

A figure, clad in blood-colored armor and exuding a sharp Evil Qi, landed at the forefront of the crowd, directly facing the Heavenly Army.

"Greetings, City Lord!"

The many Ghost shadows bowed respectfully.

The blood-armored figure ignored them and looked at the Heavenly Army, his gaze fixed on the several purple-armored figures beneath the "Efeng" banner.

"Outsiders?"

"Indeed! I am Efeng, Marshal of the Efeng Heavenly Army, under the Xu Family of the Eternal Profound Yellow Aristocratic Family!"

Marshal Efeng was awe-inspiring without anger, and his words carried a certain majesty.

"What Eternal Profound Yellow Aristocratic Family? Never heard of it! If you know what's good for you, leave quickly!" the Blood Fiend City Lord said coldly.

He could sense the extraordinary nature of this army before him, so he preferred not to engage.

Marshal Efeng said coldly, "Leaving is impossible! Either surrender, or die!"

"You're seeking death!" the Blood Fiend City Lord roared in anger, his body radiating blood-red light. "Blood Fiend lads, kill these outsiders! Slayers of silver-armored soldiers will be rewarded with a thousand merits; slayers of gold-armored soldiers, ten thousand merits; slayers of purple-armored soldiers, a million merits!"

"Kill!"

Upon hearing this, countless blood-colored Ghost shadows' eyes instantly turned blood-red. Their original humanoid appearances transformed into various terrifying forms in an instant!

"By the Dominator's command, eliminate all enemies!"

"Efeng, kill!"

Marshal Efeng slashed forward with his long spear!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

The soldiers of the Efeng Heavenly Army roared three times, their Aura magnificent!

"Form ranks!"

The million-strong Heavenly Army quickly formed ten square formations, separated by thirty thousand miles, steadily stabilizing the Void Realm.

Each square formation was led by a Divine General, supported by a hundred thousand Heavenly Army soldiers. The ten Deputy Generals each commanded an army, suppressing a direction. At the same time, the Nine Heavens Immortal Clouds beneath their feet erupted with divine light, intertwining and connecting, forming a faint immortal shadow.

"Kill!"

The Divine General waved his divine spear forward, and the ethereal immortal shadow followed, waving its arm.

"Rumble!"

Thunder shook the heavens and earth, and terrifying Great Heaven Divine Thunder struck out.

"Ah ah ah!"

"It's the Divine Thunder of the Great Heaven!"

Amidst screams, large swathes of Blood Fiend Ghost shadows disappeared.

"Kill!"

However, the number of blood-colored Ghost shadows was too vast. The entire Ghost City was the territory of the Blood Fiend Ghosts, and the Blood Fiend Ghosts living there numbered in the hundreds of millions. So, as soon as one batch died in front, another surged forward like a tide!

"You're seeking death!"

Beneath the Efeng marshal's banner, Marshal Efeng raised his palm and struck.

"Boom!"

The space in front collapsed with a boom. A Blood Fiend Ghost shadow at the Quasi-Emperor Realm was shattered into pieces by Marshal Efeng's palm, and then its soul fragments were absorbed into his Purple Heavens Immortal Armor.
