38: Chapter 18 Ghost Immortal Altar_2 38: Chapter 18 Ghost Immortal Altar_2 Li Yelai’s calves were grabbed by seven arms, rendering him completely immobile, and he even felt a strong force pulling him downward.

“Foot control, huh?” Li Yelai roared as he swung his long sword to chop at the arms, but more and more arms reached out from the shadows.

Just as Li Yelai cut off the arms holding him, he saw even more arms stretching out.

Turning around, he saw the detective had been pulled down to the ground, his gunfire blaring, but to no avail.

The others fared no worse, struggling painfully amid screams.

And on the stairs, Cheese, also entangled by several arms and even grabbed by the arms and shoulders, struggled to say angrily, “Listen to me: commit suicide now…”

The sudden turn of events made her realize that the Taboo Item had obviously gone out of control.

The only solution was to kill the wish-maker, to try and quell the situation.

Upon hearing this, Wang De struggled, but with the so-called ‘Ghost Immortal’s’ protection, he resisted the urge to commit suicide.

He also dodged backwards, not caught by the black hands.

Instead, he was the most agile person present and quickly hid in the deepest part of the basement.

Laughing at everyone here, he…

had ultimately turned the tables!

After shouting those words, Cheese was dragged down on the staircase steps.

The dark backs of hands were dragging her into another world.

She struggled to speak, looking at Li Yelai and yelling, “Listen to me: run!”

“Is this how you use your abilities?” Li Yelai angrily roared, suppressing his urge to flee, and forced himself to calm down.

He quickly looked toward Wang De in the distance and the brick house just ten steps away.

He made up his mind immediately.

Since the Taboo Item had gone out of control, it was time to…

destroy the Taboo Item!

In reality, this was a very risky action.

A Taboo Item was an incarnation of some powers from the Void Realm in the Physical World, and destroying it could lead to some terrible disaster.

But Li Yelai could not care about that anymore.

If they delayed further, everyone would die!

“Then let Mr.

Shadow pay the price!”

Li Yelai thought to himself, gathering his courage.

He quickly swung his long sword, cutting off one arm after another that was reaching for him.

At the same time, he jumped up and used Aerial Stepping.

In mid-air, he leaped over the entangled Double Blade Knight and crashed into the brick house.

Fortunately, there were no black arms stretching out inside the brick house, but behind the golden altar, a strange, blurred Black Shadow floated.

It seemed to sense Li Yelai’s intentions, watching him indifferently and saying in an ancient tone, “How dare you!”

The voice reverberated back and forth in the small brick house, turning into a tangible pressure that pressed against Li Yelai, making him bleed from all orifices and almost forcing his knees to bend in submission.

This…

was this the true nature of the brick house?

Was this the Void Realm entity that could fulfill almost any wish?

Li Yelai didn’t consider these questions, but instead moved forward against the intense pressure, holding his sword.

Each step made him want to retreat and flee, but remembering his teammates outside and the threat of death…

Courage once again overcame fear.

Li Yelai gritted his teeth and moved forward, his Heavy Pupil eyes filled with blood.

“To hell with restraint!”

Li Yelai, seeing the black threads emanating from the altar, decisively lifted his sword and chopped down!

Weakness Breakthrough!

In the next moment, a terrifying scream and roar echoed through the manor!

At the same time, within the entire No.3 Border City, all Spiritual Ability Users heard that extreme roar of anger.

“Damn, something’s gone wrong!” Inside the city’s eastern division, Moon Shadow used his abilities and immediately transformed into Thunder, soaring into the sky.

And Yang Chen, who was rushing to another battlefield, also changed color and instantly jumped up.

His entire skin turned red, and with one kick, he created a sonic-boom airflow.

Almost all Spiritual Ability Users were startled.

And in a corner of the Giant City, a young man holding a Black Umbrella looked pensively toward the New District and couldn’t help saying, “Attacking the Ghost Immortal Altar?

Looks like young Wang De is in trouble, even a knight equivalent to a Second Awakening still lost…”

…

Meanwhile, Li Yelai, unaware of the outside world’s turmoil, was frantically slashing at the altar.

This altar…

actually had an extremely strong and sturdy Spiritual Barrier.

Li Yelai’s forceful strike was unexpectedly unable to cut through immediately!

The blade left a slight scratch on the altar, the scratch expanded, but it was difficult to continue chopping down; the blade even started to be pushed outward!

Not enough strength!

It’s infuriating, having already reached this close, having already seen the weakness of this thing!

Yet blocked by the spiritual barrier, unable to shatter it!

“Unfortunately, times have changed!”

Li Yelai roared as he pulled out his jet steel axe from behind with his left hand.

Then, he struck forcefully towards the back of the crimson long sword.

At the same time, he pressed the button on the axe handle; nearly a meter-long flame was immediately ejected from the jet holes.

Damn, what did the equipment department put inside?

Li Yelai felt his left hand go out of control and smash down, as if it was dislocated.

The axehead, therefore, accelerated suddenly and smashed hard onto the back of the long sword!

With a ‘crack’, the golden altar was crossed over by the accelerated long sword, completely split in two!

Outside the blue-brick house, those arms extending out of the shadows also disappeared along with the shadows in an instant, leaving behind a group of disheveled people.

But this undoubtedly enraged a terrifying existence completely.

The moment Li Yelai severed the altar, he saw a mountainous huge shadow appearing in front of him outside his Soul Well.

He wore a dark white Taoist robe, an image of an immutable spiritual sage, yet surrounded by countless tormented souls.

Was that…

Ghost Immortal?

Human?

He had actually found Li Yelai’s Soul Well straight from the Void Realm!

The gigantic figure even obscured the sky, towering over Li Yelai.

“Do you dare?” The Ghost Immortal looked down at Li Yelai, reaching out with his right hand, seemingly very angry.

But soon, the Ghost Immortal seemed to notice something else and gave up on Li Yelai, instead looking up ahead.

But he saw pitch blackness, no, where had the starry sky of the Virtual Realm gone?

The Ghost Immortal’s gaze slowly moved upward but still couldn’t see the starry sky, until…

he saw a massive eyeball that blotted out the sky.

This…

no wonder he couldn’t see the starry sky; he was standing in front of an existence huge enough to obscure it, like an ant arriving at a human dining table.

And that existence, at the dining table, looked at him with interest.

Seemingly asking, where the hell did you get the courage?

“No…

I mean no offense…

didn’t know this human was you…

please…” The Ghost Immortal’s voice trembled, but before he could finish his sentence, a mountain-like huge tentacle wrapped around him and dragged him into the darkness.

Following that were chilling screams and chewing noises.

Seeing this scene filled Li Yelai with astonishment; was that ‘Mr.

Shadow’?

To directly swallow the Ghost Immortal?

That was the Ghost Immortal capable of fulfilling any wish!

He was far more terrifying than Li Yelai had imagined!

But…

he hadn’t even traded with him yet, and he had resolved the matter himself.

Then…

maybe he should just skip the trade?

It doesn’t count as taking advantage, right?

Not like the Ghost Immortal had any complaints!

Li Yelai thought to himself, but then heard an indistinct language: “This time…

I will not give it to you…”

Not give what?

Oh…

the blank mask?

Li Yelai was somewhat surprised, then understood.

Although the process was a bit troublesome, this Ghost Immortal had become the sacrificial offering Li Yelai presented.

Previously, having presented enough sacrifices, thereby gaining new masks or rather faces.

But because Black Shadow also saved his own life, it wasn’t considered an intervention, nor did he plan to give Li Yelai any reward.

Awesome!

Things were looking up!

What luck!

Li Yelai thought to himself, then his awareness returned to reality.

“Phew, finally…” Li Yelai sighed in relief.

However, his expression quickly changed again.

For the entire roof beam of the blue-brick house above his head suddenly collapsed.

“Fuck!”
