Countless roars came from the Ghost City behind him.
Those unknown haunted houses had ferocious faces and opened their bloody mouths as if they wanted to rush out of the Ghost City. However, there was a powerful seal around the Ghost City. Every time they approached the gate, they would suffer a powerful backlash.
Crack!
Just now, a human-shaped ghost smelled fresh blood and rushed out of the city. However, when it touched the city wall, its originally illusory body was instantly struck by lightning and sent flying.
Rumble!
In the dark sky, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm swooped down and bombarded the body of the human-shaped ghost. Its body couldn't resist the explosive power of the lightning at all.
"Hmm?"
Fang Chen's pupils shrank and he was a little shocked. If he wasn't mistaken, this Ghost City's method should be from the Great Sovereign at the end of the Reincarnation Road.
Ghosts were evil and were innately afraid of the power of Yang, and the lightning just happened to be a threat to them.
When the lightning dissipated, the Ghost City gradually calmed down. Many ghosts began to retreat and looked out of the city with fear.
"This is …"
Fang Chen was shocked.
"The city you see is called the Dark Ghost City. It was personally refined by the Great Sovereign."
The guardian with three layers of inscriptions said in a low voice, "This is actually a weapon that the Great Sovereign used in the past."
Fang Chen was dumbfounded. The Ghost City in front of him was actually a weapon?
Wasn't the Great Sovereign too strong?
It was unimaginable. If the Great Sovereign could leave the Reincarnation Road, then who in the world could stop his footsteps?
Whoosh!
Fang Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then, his gaze fell on the guardian again.
The latter pointed at the ghosts in the Ghost City and said, "The Dark Ghost City is very special. It can restrict the power of ghosts. Moreover, with the Great Sovereign's work, there are powerful restrictions around it. It's impossible for them to escape."
At the same time, he also told Fang Chen that the ghosts trapped in the Ghost City were basically people who had committed heinous crimes when they were alive. When they entered the Reincarnation Road, they would be banished to the Ghost City by the Great Sovereign.
In the Ghost City, there were no cultivation resources and no reincarnation power that could nourish the soul. Therefore, they were trapped in the Ghost City and could only die and never be reincarnated.
Of course, the Great Sovereign also left them a chance to live.
"A chance to live?"
Fang Chen listened attentively.
However, the Guardian had already changed the subject, "After saying so much, are you willing to become a part of the Great Senior's plan?"
Fang Chen stared blankly. Were they willing?
Did he have any other choice?
When he entered the Reincarnation Road, he had already become a chess piece in the hands of the Great Sovereign. No matter how he struggled, it was useless.
That was a Grandmaster, a legendary peak expert, an old antique who could control the Reincarnation Road.
He could guess that a single thought from the Grand Monarch could scatter his soul and kill him completely.
"Do I … have any other choice?"
After pondering for a moment, Fang Chen smiled bitterly.
The Protector nodded, "You should feel proud. Since ancient times, very few people have been able to enter the eyes of the Great Sovereign. For you to be chosen by the Great Sovereign is truly not easy."
In fact, there was one more thing the Guardian didn't say.
That was, if he refused the Great Sovereign, then he would definitely not be able to walk out of the Path of Reincarnation alive.
Fang Chen chose to agree. He had thought for a long time. He thought of the Bloodline Monarch and the Blood Cavalry Saint.
His perfect bloodline was inherited from the Bloodline Monarch. Then, in the God Corpse Abyss where the Blood Cavalry Saint had fallen, he had strengthened it further. Finally, relying on his own efforts, he had transformed to his current state.
However, he didn't expect that the Bloodline Monarch and the Blood Cavalry Saint would be cultivating in the Path of Reincarnation.
"Then … can I see the two of them?" Fang Chen asked.
The Guardian shook his head, "Although the two of them have fallen, their understanding of the perfect bloodline has reached a certain level. They will be of great help to the Great Sovereign's plan. They are currently cultivating with the Great Sovereign. For the time being, no one can see them."
Fang Chen felt a little regretful.
"Since you have agreed, then the most urgent thing you need to do is to increase your strength as soon as possible."
The Guardian grinned, "Your current realm is a little low."
He pointed to the Ghost City behind Fang Chen and said, "Not long ago, the Great Sovereign sent an instruction to let you enter the Ghost City to temper yourself and break through. When you can sound the bell and drum, you will have completed the initial task."
Fang Chen stared.
Standing outside the city, he could feel the extremely terrifying gloomy aura inside the Ghost City. There were also those heinous villains in their previous life. If a living person like him entered, he would definitely be besieged.
"The Ghost City is very special. It suppresses their souls, causing their strength to be greatly reduced. Even the half-step Supremacy powerhouses who had touched the threshold of the Supremacy Realm when they were alive can't display their full strength."
The Guardian explained.
Hearing this, Fang Chen's eyes lit up. If they could only display the strength of a Ninth Order Saint, then they really wouldn't be much of a threat to him.
"Don't be careless. Hundreds of millions of ghosts are trapped in the Dark Ghost City, but not many can survive."
The Guardian reminded. Those who could survive the fierce battle were almost invincible existences in the same realm.
Moreover, the most important thing was that their souls were gradually adapting to the atmosphere of the Dark Ghost City. This point couldn't be underestimated.
Moreover, the Guardian also told him that there were several invincible ghosts in the depths of the Ghost City. However, they were all in seclusion, trying their best to sound the bell and drum. As long as one didn't provoke them, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Do you understand?" The Guardian asked.
Fang Chen nodded. He had a preliminary understanding of the Dark Ghost City's situation.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you. In the Dark Ghost City, no matter who it is, as long as they can sound the bell and drum, they can obtain the Death Substitute Talisman given by the Great Sovereign. Moreover, they can obtain the chance to reincarnate."
Death Substitute Talisman!
Fang Chen was shocked. This was really a big deal. They even took out such a rare talisman from ancient times. This was getting more and more interesting.
"So, if I sound the bell and drum, I can also obtain the Death Substitute Talisman?"
The Guardian nodded. Fang Chen grinned.
The Death Substitute Talisman, as the name implied, was a talisman that could replace a person's life. If one encountered an irresistible force and their life was in danger, they could crush the Death Substitute Talisman to resist the force.
Unless the Primal Chaos Supreme personally made a move, no one could ignore the Death Substitute Talisman.
In other words, having the Death Substitute Talisman was equivalent to having an extra life.
Fang Chen was very interested in the Death Substitute Talisman.
"I've said what I need to say. Prepare to enter the Dark Ghost City." The Guardian said.
Crash!
Before Fang Chen could react, he felt his vision turn black. In the next moment, he felt an overwhelming gloomy aura pressing down on him.
"I hope you can succeed."
