Chapter 328: Chapter 326: Yama Ghost Body
Mu Tiexin, the terrifying genius known as the Ghost-faced Youluo, formerly ranked fourth among the Ten Great Venerables and a master of hundreds of Demon Dao Secret Techniques—was he really just slain by a single sword strike?
Before the Celestial Pride War Hall, everyone craned their necks, their faces etched with tension.
If that was true, then who could possibly be a match for Jiang Chen?
Atop the Golden Throne...
Lan Haichen frowned, his tense expression relaxing slightly as he said coolly, "If he were slain so easily, then Mu Tiexin would be unworthy of being counted among us as one of the Ten Great Young Venerables!"
"Exactly!"
Xue Yinhao nodded in agreement. "There’s no way Mu Tiexin would die that easily!"
Black light pulsed around the Night Emperor, as if a veil of darkness shrouded his body.
He stated calmly, "Mu Tiexin hasn’t even gotten serious yet! How could he possibly die so easily!"
All the young Venerables nodded.
As fellow young Venerables, clashes and duels among them were inevitable. With the exception of Beast Nine, who was disdained for relying on his Beast Taming Skill, none of the Ten Great Young Venerables could possibly die so easily!
Sima Hengfeng of the Star Pavilion and Qin Han of the Sun and Moon Pavilion also exchanged a glance, each seeing the same grim look in the other’s eyes.
Both of them had once been defeated by Mu Tiexin.
They knew very well how powerful and terrifying Mu Tiexin was. His endless array of Demon Dao Secret Techniques was one thing, but what was truly frightening was his Martial Soul—the Ghost-faced Yama!
After all...
Even when Sima Hengfeng and Qin Han had joined forces, they had still lost to Mu Tiexin.
And that was a fact!
Within the Floating Battlefield, across the boundless, surging ocean, white bubbles suddenly began to rise from the seabed. They quickly gathered into clusters, roiling endlessly as they rushed to the surface.
FWOOSH—
The foam and bubbles grew larger and more numerous, until the entire surface of the sea looked as if it were boiling.
BOOM—
A pillar of water erupted from the sea, shattering the surface and sending water flying like a torrential downpour. The massive column shot straight into the clouds, reaching a height of a thousand meters before collapsing back down. The drizzling seawater connected heaven and earth, forming curtains of rain.
Within the dissipating pillar of water, an oval-shaped mass of black light slowly bobbed up and down.
The black light receded.
Mu Tiexin, clad in black armor, stood in the void. A cold, sharp glint flickered in his eyes, and a savage, blood-red color surfaced in his black pupils.
His blood-colored gaze, seeming almost tangible, burst forth from his eyes!
"No wonder you could kill Beast Nine. It seems the rumors about you killing Yinn Tianzong weren’t baseless after all. But it’s a shame. If this is the full extent of your strength, then forget about defeating me—it’s questionable whether you’ll even leave this Floating Battlefield alive today!" Mu Tiexin said calmly, looking at Jiang Chen with serene composure.
Even though he had just been sent flying by Jiang Chen’s sword, he still wore an expression of absolute confidence.
"Are you sure about that?"
Jiang Chen grinned.
The Spirit-Slaying Sword in his hand trembled slightly, unleashing a brilliant black Sword Aura that made the Celestial Vault change color and threw the winds into chaos.
Surging Spiritual Qi roiled restlessly around his body, setting off a series of sharp, explosive cracks.
"You really won’t give up until you’re staring at your own coffin! It seems you’re still clinging to the vain hope that you can beat me, is that it? I forgot to tell you, that wasn’t my strongest state just now... The reason people call me the Ghost-faced Youluo is because of my Martial Soul. Before, I hadn’t even drawn on its power. And now, you will have the honor of witnessing the power of my Martial Soul!"
From Mu Tiexin’s body, streams of black light suddenly erupted. Each stream was like a brilliant rainbow, seeming as if it would pierce the Celestial Vault.
Terrifying fluctuations of energy whipped up gales around him.
The gales howled as if to overturn everything!
The cloud clusters in the Celestial Vault were forcefully blasted apart. The sea beneath their feet surged violently, with monstrous waves reaching for the sky, crashing against an unseen shore and stirring up tumultuous swells.
BOOM—
A massive ghost face appeared behind him.
It had a green face and long fangs. Its eyes were like blazing red torches, emitting a red glow that shot out like two sharp blades suspended in the air.
Atop this ghost face’s head rested a crown!
He was like Yama, the Sovereign of the Netherworld!
Celestial Tier Third Grade Martial Soul—Ghost-faced Yama!
"Yama Possession!"
Mu Tiexin let out a low roar as his features twisted savagely. The Ghost-faced Yama suddenly shrank, attaching itself to his face.
Mu Tiexin’s figure began to grow taller and taller!
From a height of 1.8 meters, he shot up to over ten meters tall. His muscles bulged like blocks of lead, and the green veins on his arms writhed like coiling dragons.
The nails on his ten fingers also began to grow wildly.
Each nail was like a sharp Battle Blade, glinting with a menacing cold light.
"Yama Possession... now this is the strongest version of Mu Tiexin!"
"Once he uses his Talent Divine Technique, Yama Possession, Mu Tiexin’s physical body is elevated to a terrifying level. More importantly, in the state of Yama Possession, his body can freely switch between his true form and the Yama Ghost Body. If he encounters a powerful attack, he can switch to the Yama Ghost Body, which is illusory and renders all attacks useless!"
"Jiang Chen is in danger!"
The experts whispered amongst themselves.
Within the crowd...
White Tiger, Bai Ling, Lin Feifei, Yuwen Xunyi, Wu Hao, and the others all showed deep worry on their faces.
’Freely switching between his true form and the Yama Ghost Body? Able to ignore any attack?’ Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, and his Eyes of the Heavens, glinting with azure and gold light, fell upon Mu Tiexin.
Mu Tiexin sneered confidently. A Long Spear appeared in his hand; the pitch-black weapon was adorned with a ghastly white skull, and its sharp tip radiated a faint, cold light. "A Celestial Tier Low-level Profound Weapon, the Yellow Springs Spear! Jiang Chen, enjoy the last few moments of your life!"
SWISH—
A spear light tore through the void, transforming into a murky yellow torrent that rushed toward Jiang Chen.
The Yellow Springs!
The river of death!
This spear was named for it, a weapon meant to send its victims to the Yellow Springs!
"Break!"
The Spirit-Slaying Sword in Jiang Chen’s hand slashed horizontally. His Water and Fire Sword Intent fused together, the azure-blue and red Sword Auras transforming into a Sword Qi Storm.
They spun around each other like a red and blue tornado.
RUMBLE!
The Sword Qi Storm slammed into the murky yellow river. Their collision produced a deafening roar, and the resulting gale caused the Vast Sea beneath them to erupt violently.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As the two of them continued to clash, one after another, waterspouts hundreds of meters high were blasted apart.
Heaven and earth lost their color; the sun and moon were overturned!
"Life and Death Annihilation!"
Mu Tiexin snorted coldly, thrusting the Yellow Springs Spear forward with immense force.
The sleeves on his arms were blasted to shreds. His ten-meter-tall body brought with it a colossal power, enveloping Jiang Chen beneath an unparalleled spear light...
