Boundless coldness fluctuated. As soon as the voice of the blurry figure of the Ghost Race expert faded, the figures of the Ghost Race Venerable who were fighting with Xue Feng and Venerable Jian Feng immediately turned into nothingness and retreated.
"Not good, retreat!"
Seeing this, the expressions of Venerable Vajra and Venerable Bai Feng of the Baize Marquis' tribe changed drastically. They had suffered a lot in the Thousand Ghost Devourer Formation.
"Haha, lowly humans, are you finally afraid?"
A miserable voice resounded in the void. "Today, I'll wipe out all the helpers of the Baize Marquis tribe. I'd like to see how you lowly humans are going to resist the combat masters of my Ghost Race after so many Venerables have fallen."
As the voice faded, endless black light bloomed from the figure of the ghost. In the void, a few more figures of the Ghost Race Venerables appeared out of nowhere. All of them were bursting with powerful black light as they chanted with obscure and bitter syllables.
Following the chants of the ancient characters, the winds and clouds in the entire void changed. It was as if all the Yin Qi in the entire Void Path was gathering here. The extremely dense Yin Qi turned the entire sky into a dusky world.
Rumble!
In an instant, the entire earth trembled, as if a terrifying earthquake had occurred. The earth split open, and pitch-black chains broke out of the ground one after another.
The ground cracked and the black chains broke out inch by inch. In the blink of an eye, there were a total of 108 black chains that shot into the sky. Each chain was like a heavenly pillar, piercing through the void. Lifelike reliefs appeared on the iron pillars. These reliefs were the incarnations of evil spirits that had been infamous since ancient times. Just a glance at them was enough to make one tremble in fear.
The statues of ferocious ghosts were clearly visible, as if they had come to life. They had green faces and sharp fangs, creating an incomparably miserable scene. Apart from that, the one hundred and eight black chains were filled with layers of illusions, constantly letting out miserable cries. They had actually bound countless human souls. The faces of these souls had become hideous and terrifying, filled with boundless hostility. Their cries pierced through the void.
It was impossible to estimate exactly how many human souls were bound by the one hundred and eight chains. These souls were roaring and screaming, as if they had suffered endless torture before their deaths.
"Damn the Ghost Race for using the souls of humans as a sacrificial offering to the formation!"
Countless human souls were roaring. Even though they had already lost their minds and turned into wandering ghosts, it was still a shocking sight to everyone. These were the lives of their fellow humans that had been stripped away and refined into the iron chains of the formation.
As Xiao Chen looked at the human souls bound by the formation, he felt his hot-bloodedness blaze in his heart. Their malevolent expressions and hoarse roars entered his ears and heart.
No matter what era he was in, as a fellow human, it was difficult for him to endure the tragedy in front of him. These human souls were densely packed. There were no less than a million of them, enough to match the population of a middle-ranked combat division. However, they were slaughtered like animals by the Ghost Race and turned into wandering souls in the formation.
"Break the formation and take revenge for our fellow humans!"
The people who had originally wanted to leave the formation immediately stopped in their tracks. They looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts.
"Today, we will break this bullsh * t formation of the Ghost Race together."
"Kill!
These monsters must pay the price for killing our human compatriots! Kill them! "
"Kill kill kill!"
Since the decision was made, the nine Venerables immediately attacked in all directions of the formation. However, Xiao Chen chose to attack from the southeast. The Dark Blood Spear in his hand was manifested and filled with crimson flames. The Ghost Race had a dark attribute, so the rolling flames were the best killing move to destroy ghosts.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen and the others had actually turned back and attacked the formation, the ghost figure in the Void still did not move. He snorted coldly and then shouted again, "Ghosts appear, blood and bones condense, the formation gives birth to thousands of ghosts!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The chilly wind whistled and miserable ghost cries constantly came from the iron pillar. Even the entire iron pillar was filled with a deadly black aura that spread towards the formation and constantly attacked the people in the formation.
"Everyone, be careful. The iron chains of this formation are made of the Ghost Race's unique Netherworld Divine Iron. It belongs to the level of Intermediate Divine Metal and has an amazing chill. Even a Venerable will be corroded by the chill in the Netherworld Divine Iron if they are not careful."
At the same time, there was another change in the formation. The entire ground below the formation and the formation base of the formation all exploded. Endless chilly air gathered towards the Void. However, the scene below the ground made everyone's killing intent even more intense.
The ground exploded, revealing countless corpses and white bones. They were all human skeletons. The ground was covered with corpses and there were probably tens of thousands of them.
Boom!
The ground exploded and a piece of rubble flew up. The rubble pierced through. Xiao Chen reached out to grab a piece of rubble that flew past him and found that it was a little wet.
He fixed his eyes on it and saw that it was a stone stained with purplish black blood. However, the wet blood had been wiped clean and there were layers of dried blood stains inside.
This was a stone stained with the blood of the Human Race!
The wet blood on the outer layer was obviously the result of the slaughter of humans in the recent days. Because of the dense chilly air within the formation base, it was preserved and did not completely dry up, turning into another layer of blood.
His eyes were filled with killing intent. The Human Race had existed for a long time and their bloodline was the same. Seeing countless of his blood kin being brutally killed by the foreign races, he was filled with anger.
Soon, everyone discovered that the ground beneath their feet was covered with human corpses. Among these corpses, there were warriors wearing the standard armor of Marquis Baize. Obviously, they were the warriors of Marquis Baize who were trapped in the formation.
Rumble!
The one hundred and eight huge Netherworld Chains turned into ghost pillars, isolating the land within a radius of several kilometers. It even formed an independent world of ghosts. Xiao Chen could already feel the vague appearance of ghosts in his surroundings. Furthermore, the ghostly aura that filled the sky actually had the effect of isolating his spiritual will. Furthermore, it could even devour the spiritual will that he released.
Woo woo woo!
The dense ghost Qi became denser and denser. The densely packed human corpses and white bones under his feet were being melted by the ghost Qi at a speed visible to the naked eye. The essence of the blood and bones was absorbed into the ghost pillars formed by the one hundred and eight iron chains.
"Entering my Ghost Race's Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Great Formation, you will be completely trapped to death!"
Gloomy words constantly came from the void and entered everyone's ears. "Jie jie, change the formation and break them one by one!"
Rumble!
The one hundred and eight black ghost pillars suddenly burst out endless black light, soaring into the sky. The light beams splashed up and intertwined with each other. In the blink of an eye, a pitch-black light curtain boundary was formed, separating every human warrior in the great formation and trapping them in a narrow space.
The eight Venerables of the Ghost Race each occupied a position and sat on the light pillars. Their hands were constantly making strange hand seals. As the hand seals changed, the small spaces that trapped everyone were strangely shrinking. The corresponding ghost Qi was rapidly increasing. The ghost Qi was extremely dense and constantly tumbling, as if something was about to be born from within.
Malicious Ghosts!
These malicious ghosts had sharp teeth and didn't even have a human shape. They were in a half-human, half-beast state with hollow eyes that emitted an incomparable baleful aura. There were five such malicious ghosts in front of Xiao Chen. Each of them had the strength of an ordinary Initial Stage Venerable. However, at this moment, these half-human, half-beast monsters were like inanimate objects and didn't make any sound.
"Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Great Formation, sealing all directions and giving birth to ghosts. Ghost Qi will be drawn to the body and ghosts will come out of the cage. Endless!"
The eight Venerables of the Ghost Race changed their hand seals at the same time and suddenly imprinted them on the great formation.
"Kill!"
"Kill kill kill!"
Rumble!
Countless rays of black light exploded in the formation. The originally lifeless ghosts seemed to have suddenly come to life, and a Netherworld Flame ignited on their foreheads out of nowhere.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, these monsters that came from the nether world were like sharks that smelled blood and pounced towards the Human Venerables in the great formation.
Swish!
The spear in Xiao Chen's hand was covered in flames. He pierced through the forehead of a nether monster that pounced towards him and extinguished the nether flame. In an instant, the ghost trembled and instantly turned into surging eerie ghost Qi.
The remaining Stone Phantom gave off ear-piercing screeches as it arrived before Xiao Chen. The war spear in its hand tore through the ghostly Qi and directly chopped a Stone Phantom in half. These were merely early-stage Stone Phantoms. Furthermore, they only had instincts and only knew how to bite. To Xiao Chen, they were nothing.
In just a few breaths' time, the nether monsters that pounced towards him were killed. However, when Xiao Chen turned around, he discovered that the endless ghost Qi that lingered around him was constantly surging. There was a vague ghost sound that was ear-piercing and sorrowful, making one feel uneasy.
A black light suddenly appeared and another nether monster was born from the surging ghost Qi. In the blink of an eye, five identical nether monsters stood before Xiao Chen and pounced towards Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Chen finally understood what the Venerable of the Ghost Race meant when he said that the ghosts wouldn't die after being released from the cage. As long as the great formation wasn't broken, no matter how he killed the ghosts, they would be endlessly transformed. The Venerable of the Ghost Race wanted them to be forcefully exhausted by the great formation.
"Damn it!"
The other Sovereigns in the formation had also noticed this situation. However, the ghostly aura that filled the sky and the formation had isolated this space, forcing them to fight on their own. If this continued for a long time, they would be in danger of being defeated one by one.
