The black and white lines of the chess array threaded through the Star River.
The grand formation had already enveloped everything, and for a time, all ghostly beings were shrouded within it by Jiang Li.
At the same time, his chess array caught the attention of countless ghost monarchs.
"The black and white chess formation... No, what is his relationship with that person?!"
"The man who dared to break into the Dead Soil and committed a massacre... How could his chess array appear in the outside world?"
"No, no, this person’s chess array in front of us, although similar, is not quite the same as the one once seen in the Ghost Domain!" Read new chapters at freewebnovel
Countless ghost clans were discussing fiercely.
But all were excessively solemn.
"Kill him, we must not let this child live!"
Many ghost monarch-level figures rushed madly towards Jiang Li.
Jiang Li reminded them of that terrifying individual, so they could not allow Jiang Li to grow.
Jiang Li, however, remained indifferent as the multilayered chess array descended.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of ghostly beings were eradicated by the chess array!
"Damn... Jiang Li Junior Brother is really one of the ultimate killing weapons..."
Lu Rang felt emotional!
"What a pity, what a pity, now there are no Ghost Teeth left!"
Qing Chen, however, felt regretful.
But, at this very moment, the countless ghostly beings that had previously disappeared suddenly reappeared.
"We are undying!"
"Ghosts shall not die, the deceased shall not perish!"
Innumerable ghostly beings shrieked, approaching with a chilling force.
Everyone was utterly surprised.
Jiang Li was also startled.
"A bunch of little ghosts... If it weren’t for the need to seek refuge in the Yin Realm and abandoning too much, would I let you run rampant..."
However, Jiang Li’s tortoise seemed somewhat discontented within its eyes.
Jiang Li used its shell as the chessboard, and now that it couldn’t kill the ghostly beings, it was really annoyed.
"What a pity, the Yin-Yang Soil has been taken away by that tree to suppress the Yellow Springs. Without eating Yin-Yang Soil, many of my divine skills can’t be activated... Otherwise, I could also initiate Samsara and send you all to hell!"
As it spoke softly, it seemed to reveal a great secret.
Hearing this, Jiang Li suddenly looked at the tortoise with some suspicion.
His tortoise had initially fled to the Yin Realm from the Yang Realm! (For details, see Chapter 352, The Great Divine Power that Pierces Heaven and Earth (3), Please Call Me Guixin Who Never Misses a Pitfall)
However, upon entering the Yin Realm from the Yang Realm, the tortoise had lost all its memories.
Now it seemed that since returning to the Yang Realm and eating too much mud in the little courtyard, the tortoise had remembered a lot of things?
He suddenly felt... he had to thoroughly interrogate this tortoise when he got back.
To be sure, Da Hei had said that aside from itself, all other Ten Spirits died thoroughly...
But this tortoise had managed to resurrect itself and had even fled to the Yin Realm from the Yang Realm to avoid something...
He felt there was a big issue...
Meanwhile, the countless ghostly beings attacked again, and Jiang Li had to put aside his inner speculations and continue to fight!
Even though he couldn’t kill these ghostly beings completely, he could still stall them.
Numerous ghostly beings were slain by him.
And then they reappeared!
It was immensely tense!
"This is the dreadful aspect of ghostly beings."
From the rear, on a battleship, Yun Yinchen sighed and said:
"Ghostly beings are already dead, to truly kill them... is extremely difficult."
"One needs to possess an ultimate yang and supreme solid divine object, like Ziling Maiden’s brush, or cultivate the legendary Tiānshī Dào and be proficient in exorcising ghosts..."
At this moment, Mu Wanqing was startled and pointed to the front, saying:
"No, that’s not right! Look over there!"
Everyone’s gaze followed, and in one part of the battlefield, Lin Jiuzheng’s body shone with light.
His body was covered in talismans!
At that moment, he was overpowering a Ghost Monarch, who was wailing and trying to flee!
"Ghostly beings, where do you think you’re going!"
Lin Jiuzheng waved his hand, scattering a handful of talismans, which instantly transformed into heavenly fire and scorched all the ghostly aura of the Ghost Monarch.
His talismans, drawn using the stationery from the small mountain village, coupled with the knowledge of ghostly beings from Tiānshī Dào, now had the Ghost Monarch completely trapped!
Meanwhile, he stepped with the Gang Step and formed the Celestial Master’s Seal with his hand. Yellow talismans fluttered down and actually formed a Heavenly Gangs Big Dipper Formation.
The Ghost Monarch was instantly trapped within it.
"Impossible!"
The Ghost Monarch was enraged and burst out violently, trying to break through.
However, this Heavenly Gangs Big Dipper Formation was filled with yellow talismans, and any one of them could harm its essence.
"Ghostly beings still dare to run wild!"
"Heaven and Earth are Limitless, Dao Law is Universe, Repression!"
Lin Jiuzheng shouted loudly, and a yellow talisman suddenly fell down. The talisman seemed light and fluttering, but it elicited a shrill scream from the Ghost Monarch.
It rapidly shrank and was enveloped by that yellow talisman.
The yellow talisman seemed to be crumpled into a ball of paper, but inside, it wrapped a ghost!
Lin Jiuzheng beckoned, and the ball of paper immediately returned to his hand.
Upon seeing this, everyone and every ghost in the field were shocked.
"What? The Ghost Monarch was actually captured by him?"
"He... he’s a Heavenly Master!"
"No, Heavenly Masters are in the Divine Realm; they’re extremely rare to see!"
Countless ghostly beings were horrified and lost their composure.
A Heavenly Master who could capture Ghost Monarchs was, to ghostly beings, like a father!
They were inherently suppressed, no ghost could withstand them.
"Among Senior Li’s disciples, there is actually such a powerful Heavenly Master..."
Yun Yinchen was amazed and said,
"Senior Li is truly... omniscient!"

"The Ghost-Collecting Celestial Master Lin Jiu Zheng arrives!"
At this moment, Lin Jiu Zheng’s confidence exploded; he turned around and charged toward Zi Ling and the others.
Zi Ling and Yun Xi were fending off four ghostly beings.
Even though Zi Ling could now unleash more potential of the Phoenix Sky Brush, it was ultimately limited; she could only affect an area of about three hundred meters around her body.
——Previously, she had ignited the Ghost King’s Skin with the Phoenix Sky Brush, largely because the Qing Bu Gui Jun was completely off guard.
Now, these Ghost Monarchs were extremely cautious, never entering the range of the Phoenix Sky Brush, which made Zi Ling anxious.
At the same time, she had never learned to paint souls!
These ghostly beings, from a certain perspective, were already dead, and she could not capture their likeness.
Luckily, Yun Xi was there as her complement, with butterflies swirling around her, capable of initiating attacks—mainly because Yun Xi’s butterflies would only act when she was in danger and wouldn’t attack on their own initiative.
In terms of true strength, for those at the Divine Sovereign level to fight against those at the Divine Monarch level was nearly impossible.
Moreover, these were the mysterious and unpredictable Ghost Monarchs.
Even Divine Monarchs at the same level often faced a life and death struggle when confronting Ghost Monarchs.
This was also one of the reasons why the Divine Realm shattered the Demon Realm and crushed the Demon Land, but had never made a move against the Ghost Domain.
The moment Lin Jiu Zheng arrived, talismans fell from the sky.
"Heavenly Master!"
"No! Stay away from him!"
Several Ghost Monarchs were terrified and hurriedly retreated!
Heavenly Masters, by nature, restrained ghostly beings.
Although Lin Jiu Zheng was only at Divine Sovereign level, he was like a wolf among sheep—a wolf not yet fully grown could still hunt sheep.
There were immutable relationships of mutual generation and restraint.
In an instant, another Ghost Monarch was captured by Lin Jiu Zheng with a Yellow Talisman.
"All my fellow disciples, with the Yellow Talisman upon you, you can control ghostly beings!"
Lin Jiu Zheng took out countless talismans and scattered them across the starry sky.
"With talisman on sword, slash the ghostly beings!"
Dugu Yuqing reached out, took several, attached them to his sword, and swung out!
The Ghost Monarch opposite him immediately panicked!
"Damn, let’s see if I can’t turn you green and undead!"
Lu Rang grabbed a handful and stuffed it into the planter.
And Wu Dade was even more frantic; he covered his butt with Yellow Talismans and, like a human bomb, sat towards that Ghost Monarch.
That Ghost Monarch was dumbstruck at the sight of Wu Dade.
Then, he was flattened by Wu Dade with a crash!
...
Suddenly, the situation on the field changed drastically.
Lin Jiu Zheng’s Yellow Talismans were too strong a restraint against ghostly beings.
Even the Ghost Monarch level couldn’t withstand them.
"A sky full of talismans suppresses the multitude of ghosts!"
Lin Jiu Zheng stepped out the Gang Step, bit his finger, and with blood as ink, drew a Blood Talisman in the air!
This Blood Talisman, magnified infinitely, pressed down upon the Ghost Clan army of millions.
In an instant, the Ghost Clan army let out wails of agony!
Countless ghostly beings, which had been ferociously attacking Jiang Li just before, were now trembling and crying out in terror, in horror.
The army of ghostly beings... would be defeated by a single Heavenly Master!
Then, at that moment.
The black clouds behind the Ghost Domain Army rolled in, transforming into a giant black hand, which suddenly swept through the void.
The Blood Talisman that terrified countless ghostly beings was eroded by the surging ghostly aura and dissipated!
Lin Jiu Zheng’s celestial master’s talisman... was broken!
And those black ghostly clouds... immediately turned into a huge Ghost Qi Throne.
Atop the throne, an extremely powerful existence emitted a pressure that shook the entire Eighth Substellar Domain.
The Sky Domain trembled, and the lights of the star realms seemed to dim, like candlelight in the wind that would extinguish as soon as the breeze passed.
Should the entity on the throne wish it, deathly and ghostly auras could easily extinguish the light of life in many star realms of the Eighth Substellar Domain!
It was...
A Ghost King!
...
Goodnight.
