The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 938: Chapter 938: Cursed Face Breaches the Formation

The Longevity Demon Lord realized that the situation was dire, a resolute look appearing on his face, as he muttered something under his breath, the massive mana on his body becoming increasingly turbulent.

The next instant.

Everywhere in the Moon Palace erupted with dazzling light beams, shattering the ice that bound it, and the enormous jade sphere, as grand as an Immortal Mountain, abruptly crashed toward the Soul Generals Array!

Seeing this, Ning Qingnv wielded a transparent Ruyi, urging the overwhelming power of ice and cold, transforming into an endless stretch of icy mountains and snow seas, attempting once more to freeze the Celestial Palace;

However, under the Demon Lord’s spell that risked the palace’s ruin, the formations and prohibitions on the palace were propelled to their limit, not only smashing through layers of ice mountains and overturning the vast snowy seas, but also knocking Ning Qingnv away.

”Pfft!”

Ning Qingnv’s protective spirit energy, her defensive magic treasures, and her magic barrier were all shattered, she coughed up blood as she flew, leaving sparkling droplets in mid-air.

Her blood was like ice marrow, appearing crystal clear and chilling, containing an exceedingly rich and pure cold force.

For ice-type cultivators like Chen Mengze, each drop of her Ice Marrow Spirit Blood was among the world’s finest spiritual items, considered Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the ice attribute; it could be consumed directly as an elixir, greatly enhancing their cultivation level, or used as a spiritual material to refine ice-type magic treasures, similarly possessing tremendous power!

And now, the Ice Marrow Spirit Blood sprayed by Ning Qingnv was feared to be several liters, enough to elevate an Ice Spirit Body into the Divine Bridge Realm.

Though feeling somewhat guilty toward Ning Qingnv, Shen Mo still secretly summoned the Possession Ghost Yang Chengxiong, commanding it to use stealth skills to discreetly collect this Ice Marrow Spirit Blood.

At the same time, he unleashed several terrifying sword Qi towards the Moon Palace, and even used ”Tianhe Nine Turns” to send forth the twelve Mountain Pearls, attempting to halt the massive jade sphere’s collision.

Yet, all these powerful methods were futile!

The Longevity Demon Lord expended a tremendous amount of mana, disregarding the damage to the Moon Palace to mobilize this object, granting it an unstoppable terrifying power... The sword Qi slashed, the Mountain Pearls bombarded, only parts of the palace buildings and formations were destroyed, completely unable to halt its ruthless momentum.

At the last moment before Shen Mo was about to be struck by the Celestial Palace, he activated the [Sword Escape] skill, instantly fleeing thousands of miles away, avoiding the same fate as Ning Qingnv.

Then, the Moon Palace, carrying the power to destroy all under the heavens, crashed into the God Slaying Array formed by three million Soul Generals!

”Boom!”

The world trembled, the violent collision ripples swept in all directions, causing the Crystal Brahma Flame on Shen Mo’s body to sway, stirring thousand-foot waves on the Hidden Dragon River, leaving the ghosts on Jiuli Mountain toppled over...

In this earth-shaking collision, the palaces and formations within the Celestial Palace all turned to ruins, no longer usable, though the jade sphere itself was undamaged, merely losing the formations’ lift and falling from the sky, landing upstream of the Hidden Dragon River, cutting off the river’s flow to the midstream.

As for the Soul Generals Array, needless to say, it had thoroughly collapsed!

All three million Soul Generals dispersed, leaving behind only a few thousand high-realm Soul Generals, roaring incessantly at the Longevity Demon Lord.

Fortunately, the brute force used in this collision by the Moon Palace did not possess the mystical effect capable of completely annihilating the Soul Generals, thus the dispersed Soul Generals weren’t truly fallen, and the soul marks on the Soul Refining Flag hadn’t disappeared.

Nonetheless, Shen Mo did not recall them back; even those few thousand Soul Generals in the air were collected back into the Soul Refining Flag.

The likes of Soul Generals, whether ordinary or Demon Soul Generals, if their Soul Body remained intact and they were directly absorbed into the Soul Refining Flag, all their primal power would return to the flag, requiring Shen Mo only a minimal consumption of mana to reconstruct their Soul Bodies.

But if the Soul Body was shattered, although the soul mark remained, the primal power dispersed into the void.

If given enough time, Shen Mo could allow the Soul Refining Flag to absorb nature’s spiritual energy on its own, transforming into Soul Generals’ primal power to make up for this loss;

Otherwise, he could only expend his own mana or mobilize nature’s spiritual energy to condense these Soul Bodies for the Soul Generals.

Considering Shen Mo’s current cultivation level, even if he exhausted his mana, albeit with the help of nature’s spiritual energy, he could only summon tens of thousands of Soul Generals in a short time; even a Creation Array couldn’t exhibit its previous might.

Moreover, Shen Mo was now engaged in a fierce battle with the Longevity Demon Lord, even having taken a recovery elixir, the restoration speed of mana within still couldn’t keep up with the consumption, and further consuming large amounts of mana to condense Soul Generals and form an array seemed a poor trade!

Thoughts flashed like lightning...

Immediately, Shen Mo put away the Soul Refining Flag, waved his hand, and seven inch-long Dao swords whizzed out, transforming into The Big Dipper Array, attacking the Emperor’s chariot.

Meanwhile, various methods erupted from his body simultaneously, showcasing sword light, magic, magic treasures, skills, and formations in turn, repeatedly obstructing the Demon Lord’s onslaught toward the Chu sisters!

With the luxurious chariot upholding a domain immune to all Dharmas, Shen Mo found it difficult to harm the Longevity Demon Lord even slightly, while the Demon Lord’s numerous attacks could harm Shen Mo, soon rendering his magic treasures damaged, his Soul Body shaken, placing him at a disadvantage for the time being; but he fought resolutely without retreat, successfully securing time for the Chu sisters to cast their curse.

A dozen breaths later, having retreated a thousand miles to swallow a pill for healing and recovery, Shen Mo suddenly raised his head to look at the sky.

The curse of the Chu sisters seemed to have summoned something extraordinarily terrifying, accompanying the sickening, cold, and bloody smell pervading the heavens and earth, and above the Longevity Demon Lord’s head, a twisted and hideous ghost face gradually emerged, as though it gathered all the negative emotions in the world, merely staring at its ”countenance” made one feel angry, uneasy, anxious, resentful, terrified, sorrowful, and despairing...

Shen Mo quickly lowered his head, avoiding focusing on the ghostly face to prevent corruption to his Path Heart.

”Hehe...”

A series of eerie, inhuman laughter echoed everywhere.

In the next second, the twisted ghost face opened its blood-red mouth, revealing a jumble of teeth like rotten iron, biting towards the Longevity Demon Lord!

The luxurious chariot soared with thousands of feet of celestial light, much like when others besieged the Demon Lord before, using its nature of Dao’s principles, it upheld a domain immune to all Dharmas.

Immediately, the bizarre sound of ”creak creak” resounded sharply...

Shen Mo couldn’t help but glance out of the corner of his eye, discovering the twisted ghost face feasting, with the chariot’s wheels, the canopy in the center, the beautiful celestial maids fanning with phoenix feathers, and the strong armored soldiers guarding the chariot all being swallowed like top-grade delicacies.

In an instant, the aura of the entire chariot magic treasure plummeted dramatically, losing its mystical property of being immune to all Dharmas.

And the Longevity Demon Lord also transformed into a demonic flame, escaping away as the ghost face gnawed the chariot, casting a sullen gaze on the twisted ghost face enjoying the ”feast!”

”What on earth is this ghost thing?”
