"We can't escape."
Mo Xiaolang was the first to rush down, followed by Long Chen.
The entire Fengdu Ghost City was panicking over the Sky Ghost's rage, but they acted like nothing had happened as they followed behind the stone stele.
"The stone stele is the true form of this destinable divine artifact. The so-called eight Sky Ghosts should have eight stone steles as one. I'm guessing that the destinable divine artifact that could defeat the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu should be an Eternal grade destinable divine artifact."
Long Chen gazed into the depths of the Heavenly Ghost Lake.
"If we can obtain an Eternal grade destinable divine artifact like this, we can only say that our luck is too good."
In the myriad worlds, all Eternal grade destinable divine artifacts were supreme treasures. Back then, Long Chen had spent so much effort to obtain the Ghost-Blood Curse. Compared to that time, this time was simply too easy.
Even defeating the chaos fiendish demons and Di Jun was not easy at all. They had fought to the death to obtain their Eternal grade destinable divine artifacts.
"We're here."
At this time, the huge black stone stele plunged into the ground with a loud bang, causing endless smoke and dust to rise.
Previously, Long Chen had seen a ghostly image on the huge stone stele, completely identical to the Sky Ghost that had appeared before. At this moment, when the black stone stele landed on the bottom of the lake, a total of seven similar stone steles appeared around it.
The only difference on each stone stele was the image of a Sky Ghost. However, every Sky Ghost looked different. Some were thick, some were thin, some were tall, some were short, some had three heads and six arms, some resembled a Primeval Troll, and some resembled a centipede. The only similarity was that they all had similar heads.
There were a total of eight stone steles, all massive and heavy. At first glance, one could tell that the combined might of these stone steles was not inferior to the Sky Burying Coffin.
Boom!
When Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang approached, the eight stone steles suddenly transformed into eight Sky Ghosts. Their appearances were basically the same as the previous images on the stone stele. The Sky Ghost that had been injured by Mo Xiaolang was also among them.
"It was these eight who joined forces to deal with the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu."
As soon as this thought flashed through Long Chen's mind, the eight heavenly ghosts in the depths of the Heavenly Ghost Lake unleashed an earth-shattering roar as if they were facing a great enemy. This time, it was even more terrifying. The eight great heavenly ghosts appeared at the same time. For a moment, it seemed that the entire Ghost City of Fengdu was trembling. Countless people were panicking and running around, scared out of their wits.
The experts sleeping in the coffins woke up one after another.
The Sky Ghost's roar was the most terrifying signal in the entire Ghost City of Fengdu.
"I didn't expect an Eternal Grade Fortune Divine Artifact to be hidden in a Primordial Chaos Realm. It's probably because no one has guessed that this Eternal Grade Fortune Divine Artifact has existed until now without anyone obtaining it."
In the face of the roars of the Eight Great Heavenly Ghosts, Long Chen only felt lucky.
"Xiao Lang, you should be able to control two Eternal-grade Fortune Divine Artifacts. It just so happens that the Chaos Demon Saber specializes in offense, and this Fortune Divine Artifact can be used for offense, defense, and suppression. It's similar to the Heaven Burying Coffin. If you subdue it, your battle prowess will increase by leaps and bounds."
"No problem."
Mo Xiaolang's eyes lit up when he saw the Eight Great Heavenly Ghosts. It had been a long time since he had participated in a battle. Today, it was just taking care of an Eternal-grade Fortune Divine Artifact.
If Ghost Emperor Fengdu could rank in the thirties on the Divine Emperor List, perhaps these Eight Great Heavenly Ghosts would be his Fortune Divine Artifact. Unfortunately, he was too weak. Mo Xiaolang was an Ultimate Divine Emperor, and with the eight Ancestral Flames and the Chaos Demon Saber, subduing an Eternal-grade Fortune Divine Artifact without a master was a piece of cake for him.
Long Chen watched the battle from the side while Mo Xiaolang rushed down.
"Listen, I want to control you."
The Eight Great Heavenly Ghosts didn't seem to be in their right mind. They didn't care what Mo Xiaolang said and attacked directly. The Eight Great Heavenly Ghosts surrounded him and attacked violently, causing a huge commotion in the Heavenly Ghost Lake. Most of the land around them was already crumbling.
Fortunately, there was no one nearby.
About a quarter of an hour later, the Eight Great Heavenly Ghosts became eight stone steles under Mo Xiaolang's feet. Mo Xiaolang's current combat strength could rank in the top ten on the Divine Emperor List. It was indeed not difficult for him to control an Eternal-grade Fortune Divine Artifact, just like how Lingxi controlled the Myriad Worlds Divine Sword.
"It's done."
The eight stone steles recognized their master and became a part of Mo Xiaolang.
"This is an Eternal-grade Fortune Divine Artifact called the Deity Ghost Celestial Stele. It can suppress, defend, and attack. It can also conjure the Eight Great Heavenly Ghosts. With the Ancestral Flames working together with them, their power should not be any weaker than the Chaos Demon Saber."
Mo Xiaolang was excited.
Long Chen had also watched him grow stronger step by step.
"Big Brother, thank you," Mo Xiaolang said solemnly.
"What are you thanking me for? This is your luck."
Mo Xiaolang shook his head. "It's not just the Deity Ghost Celestial Stele. I feel that without you, I would not have been able to live until now. Although I have confirmed that I am from the Sky-devouring Clan, I still have to say that without you, there would be no me. Not just in the past, but in the future, no matter when, my life will always be yours."
Long Chen smiled and said, "That's enough, don't say such sentimental words. Your life is your own, and we are all working hard for the same goal. No one knows what the future holds. We just need to work hard to the extreme and do what we have to do. Even if we die, it's fine as long as we die. I'm not like you, wasting your life for me is not worth it. You also have your own life and important people."
"I understand." Mo Xiaolang smiled and said no more.
Long Chen searched the depths of the Heavenly Ghost Lake and found nothing related to the Ancestral Dragon's Blood Essence.
"As expected. Let's go to another place. But to be able to get an Eternal Grade Fate Divine Tool, our luck today is heaven-defying. Let's hope that our luck is still this good."
The two left the Heavenly Ghost Lake. There was no movement here now. The chaos in Fengdu Ghost City would probably calm down soon.
Next, they searched a few more places. After confirming that the Ancestral Dragon's Blood Essence was not in Fengdu Ghost City, they prepared to leave for the next world.
"It took me five days. If that's the case, it'll take me a few months to finish searching the entire Taihao Territory. It'll be easier to search the lesser worlds later. Finally, it'll be the Taihao Divine Realm. I just hope that thing won't be in some uninhabited area or even the Fragmented Stars."
If that was the case, it would be a real headache.
There were too many broken stars in the entire Taihao Domain. If they searched them one by one, they would not be able to find all of them even after millions of years.
… …
"Ah."
At the highest point of Fengdu Ghost City.
Whoosh.
Soil flew.
A coffin exploded. Ghost Emperor Fengdu appeared from the ground, panting heavily. He floated in the air, covered in cold sweat. Suddenly, he looked in a certain direction in shock.
After a while, he appeared above the Heavenly Ghost Lake. The entire Heavenly Ghost Lake had dried up.
"My … my Deity Ghost Heavenly Stele, my Deity Ghost Heavenly Stele."
Ghost Emperor Fengdu cried. He knelt in front of the Heavenly Ghost Lake, trembling. There were no words to describe his sorrow.
"Who was it? Who was it that stole my Deity Ghost Heavenly Stele? There should be no one in the entire Ghost City that can do it. Even I can't control it. Who was it?"
He roared and roared. He hugged his head and hit the ground repeatedly.
In fact, he had long known that the eight great Sky Ghosts in the Heavenly Ghost Lake, which the entire Ghost City regarded as a nightmare, were actually Eternal-grade Fortune Divine Artifacts. In the entire Ghost City of Fengdu, only he knew about them. Even if experts from other worlds came here, the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu would hide the information about the Heavenly Ghost Lake.
For so many years, nothing had happened.
But when he woke up today, the Deity Ghost Heavenly Stele was gone.
He had guarded it for so long, tried so many times, just for the day when he could control the Deity Ghost Heavenly Stele. At that time, his cultivation would definitely rush into the top thirty of the Divine Emperor List.
His position in the myriad worlds, in the entire Taihao Domain, would be different.
Finally, he remembered.
"It's them."
After so many hardships, he finally remembered the two illusory figures. They had suddenly appeared and forced him to tell him the location of the Heavenly Ghost Lake.
"They seemed to be looking for something. Then they came here and took the Deity Ghost Heavenly Stele. That's right, they came here through the Gate of the Universe. The Gate of the Universe … Divine Taihao."
Ghost Emperor Fengdu's eyes widened. That's right, Divine Taihao. The Deity Ghost Heavenly Stele couldn't just disappear like that. At this time, he calmed down and contacted Divine Taihao.
A ball of light gradually appeared on a gem in his hand. Within the light was a terrifying supreme god. Facing him, Ghost Emperor Fengdu held his breath.
"What business do you have with me?" Divine Taihao asked.
"Divine Taihao … there is something I must tell you. A few days ago, two gods came to Ghost Fengdu City through the Gate of the Universe."
"Oh, it's that Long Chen, right?" Divine Taihao said indifferently.
"How does Divine Taihao know his name?" Ghost Emperor Fengdu himself didn't know.
"The entire myriad worlds know. You're the only one who doesn't know. Go on, and then?"
Ghost Emperor Fengdu hurriedly said, "They … they seemed to be looking for something. They searched the entire Ghost Fengdu City and have left. I was suppressed by them before. Now that I've regained my freedom, I saw them using the Gate of the Universe, so I came to you. Divine Taihao, what happened?"
"It has nothing to do with you. However, I still have to thank you for bringing me this news today. There will be a gift sent to you later. If there's any news in the future, just tell me directly."
"Thank you, Divine Taihao. Also, when Divine Taihao is going to kill those two, please let me know. They also took something of mine …"
Before he finished, the connection was cut.
Ghost Emperor Fengdu was stunned.
"Long Chen, who is this? I've been asleep for hundreds of years. Did I miss some news?"
