The Ghost King Tower, as a top-grade ghost immortal weapon, naturally possessed immense power.
Once invoked, it instantly released a violent blood-colored aura, rendering nearby ghosts completely immobile.
Then it generated a powerful suction, pulling all these ghosts into the tower and instantly refining them.
At that moment, Elder Guo, Yan Tong, and the others were like meat on a chopping block, powerless to resist, forced to watch themselves being absorbed by the Ghost King Tower.
This agonizing wait for death was undoubtedly excruciating.
Yet they had no strength to struggle.
From afar, Ma Qianshan and dozens of sect masters watched the scene unfold, their hearts shattered with terror.
“What the hell is going on?”
“The Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map alone was already overwhelming.”
“Now there’s a Ghost King Tower too?”
“Heavens, are you trying to kill yourself?”
“Who in their right mind owns two top-grade ghost immortal weapons?”
“Even before the Underworld Calamity, the Ghost Lord Realm elites didn’t have such treatment.”
“You’re just a lowly Underworld Ghost Realm cultivator—how could you possess these?”
“Could it be... you’re the Child of Destiny?”
Ma Qianshan’s face turned extremely ugly.
“There’s no time to think about killing Ye Yu now. Our only goal is to escape and survive!”
“A frontal breakthrough is impossible; we must retreat.”
Glancing at the formation barrier behind them, Ma Qianshan exploded in anger.
“Who the hell assigned that formation master outside? Have them dismantle the formation immediately, or we’ll all die here!”
With his roar leading the charge, other sect masters angrily joined in.
“Yeah, whose formation master is so stupid? Trying to get us killed?”
“Damn it, who’s the bastard that arranged this?”
Hearing these curses, two small-bodied ghost beings sneered.
“What a bunch of hypocrites.”
“The formation # Nоvеlight # to block Ye Yu’s retreat was agreed on unanimously.”
“Now that we can’t beat Ye Yu, you all start complaining?”
“Shameless bastards—if it weren’t for self-preservation, I’d trap you all here to die!”
Despite the grumbling, their actions were swift as they pulled out communication stones.
These two sect masters immediately began coordinating with their subordinates outside:
“Dismantle the formation, quickly dismantle it! We have to get out.”
However, they utterly ignored the situation at hand.
The resentful souls summoned by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map had become a massive flood.
Their wails of agony echoed through the land.
Even with Ma Qianshan resisting upfront,
the intense death aura severely interfered with communication.
Thus, the outside ghosts only heard broken, muffled phrases from the communication stones:
“...formation... must...”
The fragmented sounds confused the outside ghosts, who couldn’t understand what their sect masters meant.
Two especially clever-looking ghosts exchanged glances and speculated:
“Do you think the sect masters mean we should dismantle the formation? They can’t beat Ye Yu?”
The other immediately waved his hand:
“Get lost! Don’t talk nonsense about the sect masters! What lineup do they have inside? The Underworld All-Star lineup!”
“All the prominent sect masters are here.”
“With so many together, even peak Ghost Lord Realm masters would kneel and surrender. How could they lose to some nobody Ye Yu?”
“My guess is, the sect masters want us to reinforce the formation, to make sure Ye Yu can’t escape.”
After this analysis, they successfully misled their comrades.
Everyone believed this guess was correct.
So these two ghosts began ordering their companions to further strengthen the surrounding barrier.
To ensure no one inside could escape, they put in every ounce of effort.
Inside the barrier, sect masters grew restless seeing no sign of the formation opening and began cursing again.
But once more, no response came.
It wasn’t that the two small sect masters didn’t want to answer,
but because they were already dead at Ye Yu’s hands.
Along with them died the elder Ma Qianshan.
After Ye Yu unleashed the Ghost King Tower, he didn’t stop, pulling out the Heart-Slaying Platform, Bone-Eroding Small Seal, and other top-grade ghost immortal weapons.
Including the Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk Map, he wielded a total of ten ghost immortal weapons.
With such lavish armament,
the battle completely turned one-sided.
The brilliant glow of the ghost immortal weapons shone without pause, the scene dazzling to behold—
even “spectacular” would be an understatement.
But this was a nightmare for the sect masters.
They nearly went mad, furiously cursing Yan Tong, sect master of Nurturing Tide Valley.
“You bastard! We thought you were bluffing, but you really have ten top-grade ghost immortal weapons?”
“And with such a rich fortune you can’t even guard, letting Ye Yu take them all, you deserve to die.”
Indeed, they instinctively believed all ten ghost immortal weapons came from Nurturing Tide Valley’s treasure pavilion.
But this was a complete misunderstanding.
Had Yan Tong still lived, he would have cried far worse than a certain Lady Dou.
Sadly, he was now completely refined by the Ghost King Tower, vanished without trace.
Once the ten ghost immortal weapons were invoked,
the fight ended swiftly—within the time of a single cup of tea, all dozens of ghost sect masters perished.
Except for Ye Yu, no ghosts remained alive.
He glanced at the surrounding barrier and scoffed.
Such a formation was indeed impressive,
but not enough to trouble him who possessed a time ghost immortal weapon.
Leaving was just a matter of minutes.
Yet Ye Yu didn’t hurry to leave,
instead curiously looked toward the riverbank edge.
The intense battle had blasted a bottomless pit here.
But inside the pit, a spot gleamed with dazzling multicolored light.
This immediately caught Ye Yu’s interest.
He flew straight toward it, eager to see what was hidden within.
