Chapter 784: Chapter 438 Ghost_2

Just as the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Beishu Continent were recovering from their dizziness, alarmed by the terrifying Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, they saw Elder Jin Kai strike the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul and couldn’t help but feel joyful and admire Elder Jin Kai’s strength.

The Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, struck by the golden light, emitted a sharp howl.

Its cry triggered a continuous wave of spiritual attacks. Although spiritual attacks are supposed to be silent and invisible, the fact that this attack took the form of waves shows how strong its spirit was.

“Attack together. I’m not primarily trained in spirit, so my attacks have limited killing power on it!” Elder Jin Kai couldn’t help but frown and say.

He had battled Fourth Grade Ghost Souls before, but there was something peculiar about this one. If his strike were to hit any Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner, it would definitely inflict severe damage.

However, his unrestrained strike, when it hit the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, only caused minor injuries.

Following his words, sword lights, spell lights, and various magical treasures all bombarded the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul.

Among the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors, Grandmaster Jin’s cooperation with the others was lacking, so he attacked alone, while the other seven Nascent Soul Ancestors coordinated seamlessly, blocking the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul’s evasion.

Although the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul tried to dodge, it was still hit repeatedly.

Elder Jin Kai also launched an attack, but he also kept his eyes on the coordination of the other seven Nascent Soul Ancestors.

He was relieved in his heart that no conflict had arisen, not that he feared conflicts with several Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners, but such well-coordinated practitioners were the most troublesome.

It would be difficult to overcome them, and even if he managed to prevail, the cost would be substantial.

In this round of attacks, the body of the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul was severely damaged, visibly injured.

Just as the Nascent Soul Practitioners were about to intensify their effort to finish off the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul…

The Fourth Grade Ghost Soul suddenly turned back, followed by over a hundred Third-grade Ghost Souls, with even more rapidly gathering.

Once the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul turned back, it faced the Third-grade Ghost Souls.

It let out a soft cry, and the Third-grade Ghost Souls rushed towards it and merged into its body upon contact.

Almost visibly, the body of the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul began to recover swiftly.

“We can’t let it recover!” Elder Jin Kai shouted loudly.

He then used his true power, a supreme authority emerging in the palm of his Dharma Manifestation, transforming countless rays of golden light into arrows flying toward the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul.

Each ray of golden light carried the force of the previous strike. To resolve the matter of the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul swiftly, he no longer concealed his strength.

The other Nascent Soul Ancestors, seeing his attack, all focused and glanced at each other, then unleashed their most powerful attacks as well.

The space in front seemed to distort due to their attacks, but the capacity of the Grotto Heaven exceeded their expectations, and the space returned to normal after a wave of fluctuations.

This time, the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul couldn’t escape its fate of annihilation, and under the combined full-force attack of the nine Nascent Soul Ancestors, it was directly shattered into pieces, turning into nothingness.

“I don’t like ghost souls!” Ancestor Lu said through clenched teeth.

The nine Nascent Soul Ancestors, including one at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, although they killed the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, did not gather any spoils. This was the downside of fighting a Fourth Grade Ghost Soul.

If they were facing a Fourth Grade Spirit Beast, they would now be collecting a batch of Fourth-grade materials, and if lucky, they could also obtain a Fourth Grade Demon Core.

“Hopefully, there’s only one Fourth Grade Ghost Soul here!” Elder Jin Kai also said helplessly.

They stopped talking and each took out Spiritual Objects to recuperate.

Afterward, their luck seemed to improve, for they did not encounter any Fourth Grade Ghost Souls along the way.

The Third-grade Ghost Souls, which they almost grew sick of killing, seemed endless, to the point where even Elder Jin Kai’s expression turned grim.

Sometime later, they noticed a significant decrease in the number of Third-grade Ghost Souls, and their mood lightened considerably, as any change signified a potential discovery up ahead.

“Stop right there,” Elder Jin Kai suddenly called out as a warning.

His line of sight was somewhat farther than that of other Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners; he saw ahead that a Fourth Grade Ghost Soul was lingering.

Due to the distance of his vision, he only saw one Fourth Grade Ghost Soul.

“What’s the matter?” Ancestor Lu asked aloud.

“There’s a Fourth Grade Ghost Soul!” Elder Jin Kai whispered back.

“Let us join forces to deal with it!” Ancestor Lu suggested, seemingly unconcerned.

They had previously joined forces to exterminate a Fourth Grade Ghost Soul; it wasn’t difficult for so many Nascent Soul Ancestors to deal with one together.

“You all form the Nine Palace Formation, I will act alone!” Elder Jin Kai nodded and said.

Being at a higher level, even if he faced a Fourth Grade Ghost Soul alone, he didn’t worry about being unable to withstand its attacks.

And his acting alone offered greater mobility and flexibility.

Having formulated a battle plan, and with no Third Grade Ghost Souls nearby, the ten Nascent Soul Ancestors immediately charged toward the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul.

Meanwhile, their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms activated, protecting their bodies. The nine Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners maintained the Nine Palace Formation, with Elder Jin Kai leading the charge.

However, just as Elder Jin Kai charged forward, he was horrified to find that there wasn’t just one Fourth Grade Ghost Soul in front of them but rather four.

Because of their commotion, all four Fourth Grade Ghost Souls had noticed them and were now aware of their presence.

“There are four Fourth Grade Ghost Souls! I’ll hold back two; you quickly deal with the other two!” Elder Jin Kai analyzed the situation and commanded sternly.

He knew very well that they needed to give it their all, or else the four Fourth Grade Ghost Souls would inflict heavy losses on them.

It was still unknown just how vast the Grotto Heaven was. If they lost their fighting power now, it would be even more challenging to cope later.

With a wave of his Nascent Soul Dharma Form’s hand, a beam of golden light shot out, enveloping two of the Fourth Grade Ghost Souls.

The reaction from the other Nascent Soul Ancestors was swift, as nine attacks targeted the remaining two Fourth Grade Ghost Souls.

The Nine Palace Formation played a critical role; the attacks from the two Fourth Grade Ghost Souls hit the formation. Thanks to their prior experience, and Elder Jin Kai’s guidance on how to counter spiritual attacks, the nine Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners didn’t experience any brief dizziness.

Although it was still uncomfortable, it did not impact their ability to fight.

Especially, Elder Sword’s Lifebound Flying Sword was the first to pierce one of the Fourth Grade Ghost Souls, eliciting a piercing scream from the beast.

Elder Sword’s Lifebound Flying Sword was imbued with intense Sword Intent and a large portion of his spiritual power, delivering a formidable blow that severely injured the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul.

But after that strike, the spiritual power within his Nascent Soul was insufficient to keep him in combat. He withdrew his Lifebound Flying Sword, relying on his remaining spiritual power to maintain the Nine Palace Formation.

His attack was not wasted. Ancestor Lu noticed his signal and, following his Lifebound Flying Sword’s strike on the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, Ancestor Lu’s attack followed immediately, managing to kill it outright.

The elimination of one Fourth Grade Ghost Soul significantly lightened the pressure on the Nascent Soul Ancestors, prompting them to concentrate their attacks on another.

This revealed the vast disparity between Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners. Elder Sword’s full-force blow could severely injure a Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, whereas the collective attack of these Nascent Soul Ancestors still couldn’t match Elder Sword’s single blow.

Though the suppressive environment of the Grotto Heaven somewhat restricted the powers of the Nascent Soul Ancestors, much of the disparity was due to the overwhelming power of a Sword Cultivator.

The attacks of the Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners on the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul were mostly negated, whereas Elder Sword’s Lifebound Flying Sword carried both the might of the Dharma Manifestation and potent Sword Intent, both of which caused lethal damage to the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul.

Elder Sword’s attack exceeded the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul’s immunity, thus achieving the effect of a crippling blow.

Seeing the ineffectiveness of regular attacks, Ancestor Ren Xun’s Nascent Soul Dharma Form hands drew complicated patterns in the void, employing a spell that even required some preparation time by a Dharma Form, naturally boasting extraordinary power.

After a full six breaths, the void above seemed to tear open, and a rain of fire fell from the split sky, engulfing the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul. The fire rain fell on the Fourth Grade Ghost Soul, causing it to scream in agony.
