In the Dark Ghost City.
The streets were dark, and all the buildings were illusory.
As soon as Fang Chen entered the city, he felt a majestic force suppressing his Primordial Spirit.
"Huh?"
Fang Chen was shocked. His Primordial Spirit had reached the peak of the Elixir Realm and was only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.
But now, his Primordial Spirit was compressed and finally sealed.
"What a terrible dark force."
Fang Chen exclaimed. "Is this the legendary dark Death Qi?"
"Roar!"
Not far away, a black eagle found Fang Chen. It smelled fresh blood, opened its bloody mouth, roared angrily, and then spread its wings and rushed directly to Fang Chen.
"Rip!"
Fang Chen was caught off guard and was bitten by the black eagle. His clothes were torn and tattered. He punched the black eagle and forced it back. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
"Kill!"
The black eagle's sense of smell was so sensitive that it immediately found Fang Chen's hiding place and launched an attack.
"Human."
The black eagle spoke and looked at Fang Chen with greedy eyes.
"I, Venerable Eagle, feel fresh flesh and blood in you. Give me your body and I can guarantee your safety."
The black eagle in front of him was also a peak expert when it was alive.
Fang Chen felt a strong evil force from it.
Seeing the black eagle flying over, Fang Chen took out the Samsara Knife and slashed at it.
"Ah!"
A miserable shriek came from the black eagle's mouth. Its wings had been cut off by the Samsara Blade. Although its body was illusory, it still suffered serious injuries after being hit by the Samsara Blade.
"Stupid human, you entered the Dark Ghost City alone. Do you think you can survive?"
The black eagle also knew that if it delayed any longer, it would have nothing to do with the other ghosts when they arrived.
"I, the Eagle Venerable, have been trapped in the Dark Ghost City for nine hundred million years. During this period of time, I have experienced blood and fire, and my body and soul were almost destroyed. In the end, I still managed to survive in a life and death struggle. If I can devour this person's flesh and blood, I will definitely be able to break through the shackles and once again touch the threshold of Supremacy. At that time, I will definitely be able to sound the bell and drum."
Thinking of this, the greed in the black figure's eyes intensified.
It dragged its injured body and attacked Fang Chen.
Weng!
Up in the sky, a small mountain appeared out of nowhere, carrying with it boundless power as it pressed down. In the blink of an eye, it was right above Fang Chen's head.
"Suppressing the body?"
When Fang Chen noticed this, he flipped his hand and slashed out with his saber.
Crack!
The small mountain was split into two halves and collapsed in midair.
After fighting with the black shadow, Fang Chen found that the Samsara Knife was very effective in restraining these ghosts.
Taking advantage of this, he held the Samsara Knife and kept pressuring the black shadow. Soon, he suppressed the black shadow.
Crack!
Saber after saber landed on the black figure's body. Miserable shrieks rang out incessantly.
When the last slash landed, the black shadow was completely dead. Its body collapsed, and its soul floated in midair.
Boom!
Fire fell from the sky, rolled up the black shadow's soul, and began to burn it.
"Is this … Hellfire?"
According to legend, Hellfire was born from heaven and earth, and it was specially used to punish the heinous people on the Reincarnation Road.
The more evil a person was, the more vigorous the Hellfire would be.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hellfire soared into the sky and spread over one-tenth of the Dark Ghost City. When Fang Chen saw it, he was speechless.
Such a vast Hellfire could burn the soul. It could be imagined how many evil things Venerable Eagle had done when he was alive.
The Hellfire was so strong that no ghost could resist it.
When Venerable Eagle's soul was completely burned, the appearance of the Hellfire caused a tremor in the Dark Ghost City.
"It must be that damned human. He attracted the Hellfire and wants to destroy us."
"No, we have been fighting for hundreds of millions of years for transcendence. He wants to cut off our path to reincarnation?
Impossible. "
"Damn it, he deserves to die."
Fang Chen angered everyone. All the ghosts roared angrily. When the Hellfire disappeared, they began to attack Fang Chen. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Soon, the place where Venerable Eagle died was shrouded in a dense crowd of ghosts.
"It's Venerable Eagle."
Some ghosts sensed the remaining aura in the void and guessed that the dead ghost should be Venerable Eagle.
Everyone searched and found that Fang Chen had already escaped. They began to attack him crazily.
In a dark corner somewhere.
Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He used the Reincarnation Knife to cover his aura so that the ghosts couldn't sense his flesh and blood.
"In this environment, I'm in a passive position and at a disadvantage."
Fang Chen pondered. He wasn't afraid of fighting alone, but he was a little worried when facing the encirclement of so many ghosts.
The special power in the Dark Ghost City suppressed his Primordial Spirit, causing his strength to decrease. His body also felt the suppression.
If this went on, his body wouldn't be able to resist the erosion of the Ghost City.
"I need a foolproof plan."
Fang Chen pondered.
"These ghosts are afraid of the Reincarnation Knife, but they are also eager to get it," the skeleton of Venerable Hun Yi said.
Fang Chen's mind jolted as he asked subconsciously.
Compared to the ghosts in the Dark Ghost City, Venerable Hun Yi was a failure. He didn't even survive the battle at the entrance of the Reincarnation Road. His soul dissipated, leaving only a skeleton and a trace of remnant consciousness.
Relatively speaking, he knew the Reincarnation Road better than Fang Chen.
"These ghosts exist in the state of spirits. In fact, it's their souls that maintain this state. You just saw that the Hellfire can burn their souls," Venerable Hun Yi said.
"They're afraid that the Reincarnation Knife will attract the Hellfire, but they're also eager to try to control the Reincarnation Knife."
That was because once they succeeded in controlling it, it meant that they could summon the Karmic Fire to burn other ghosts.
Moreover, they would have a chance to sound the bell.
"What do you mean?"
Fang Chen rolled his eyes.
"Capture a ghost first, then set up a tactical deployment to attract more ghosts. Kill them, attract the Hellfire, and catch them all in one fell swoop."
Fang Chen slapped the table and applauded. "This is really a good idea."
But the problem was that he was now hated by everyone. Once he showed up, he would definitely be besieged. How could he capture a ghost without anyone noticing?
"The biggest problem now is that if they stay together, what should I do?"
"I can't stay in this stalemate forever, can I?"
The power contained in the Reincarnation Knife was limited. Once it was used up, he would have nowhere to hide.
He was already in such a difficult situation when the invincible ghosts in the depths of the Ghost City were in seclusion.
"Humph, they were all super experts in charge of a region when they were alive. They each have their own ulterior motives. They can't always stay together. There will be a time when they are alone."
Venerable Hun Yi had a deep understanding.
"I can give it a try."
After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Chen nodded. If he succeeded, the following days would be easy.
If he failed, he would not have a peaceful day. He would be besieged by many ghosts and his life would be in danger.
But now, he had no other choice.
"I'll hone myself and improve my strength."
