Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1419: The Ghost Emperor

[Master, the winged race has seven supreme ranks, similar to the demon race: Low Heaven, Mid Heaven, High Heaven, Divine Threshold, Half-Divine, True Divine, and Origin Heaven. However, none of them can reach Origin Heaven, just like the demons cannot reach the Primordial Demon Rank.]

Zhang Fei thought of the winged races by his side, such as Jiang Yinghua, Meng Tianshi, Daniella, and Chiel. They hadn’t reached the peak of the Winged Race rank, but he didn’t have a solution to help them achieve it because he wasn’t a winged race like them.

[Why don’t you ask Tian Yizu about that? He is a grand elder of the winged race, and he should have a way to help them increase their rank.]

’Yes.’ Zhang Fei nodded in agreement. ’I’ve asked Tian Huangjin about that matter, but he doesn’t have a solution to help them. Even so, her father might have a solution to help them, and I’ll ask him later.’

*Roar*

’So fast!’ Zhang Fei was shocked as the Ghost Emperor flew at high speed toward Tian Liefeng and Tian Qiye.

Tian Liefeng and Tian Qiye went on alert after they sensed the Ghost Emperor’s aura. ”Leader, we have to escape now, or we’ll be in serious trouble.”

Tian Qiye didn’t listen to Tian Liefeng, and she held her golden sword firmly, looking forward to the arrival of the Ghost Emperor.

Tian Liefeng gritted his teeth, and he jumped away from Tian Qiye. He nearly died at the hands of the Ghost Emperor in the past, so he wasn’t stupid enough to fight him again.

Even so, Tian Liefeng still took out his weapon, which was a large golden bow. He summoned several large golden arrows, preparing to face Ghost Emperor. ’Shit! I don’t want to die in this damned place, but she will punish me if I run away now.’

Tian Qiye raised an eyebrow after sensing the Ghost Emperor’s aura, and her body trembled slightly due to the power of his aura. She tried to calm herself as quickly as possible, but his aura intimidated her, and her body couldn’t stop trembling. ’What exactly happened? I’ve reached the pinnacle of cultivation, but I feel fear towards that evil creature.’

*Boom*

Tian Qiye crossed her left arm in front of her face because of the explosion that occurred just now, which was caused by the arrival of the Ghost Emperor, pushing her back from her original spot.

Tian Liefeng breathed heavily, and his body trembled in fear, feeling intimidated by the Ghost Emperor’s powerful aura. ’Shit! Too late! He’s arrived, and his aura has become much stronger than when I met him in the past!’

’His aura is truly terrifying.’ Tian Qiye muttered as she looked at the scattering dust, which further limited her vision.

Soon, the scattering dust dissipated, revealing the figure of the Ghost Emperor shouldering a huge bone cleaver that was much bigger than his body.

Tian Liefeng, Tian Qiye, and Zhang Fei gasped in shock because the Ghost Emperor’s body size was truly enormous, and he was several times larger than the Giant Race.

The Ghost Emperor stared at Tian Liefeng and Tian Qiye with his eyes that took the form of white flames, which intimidated the two of them. ”What are two birds like you doing at my place? You two killed my men from the start, so I can’t stand idly and let you kill them.”

’He can talk now!’ Tian Liefeng screamed in shock in his heart because the Ghost Emperor didn’t say anything at their last meeting.

Tian Qiye took a deep breath, and a golden light quickly shot out from her body, forming the silhouette of a winged race with twelve golden wings whose body was as large as the Ghost Emperor.

The Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes for a moment after seeing that, but then he laughed scornfully. ”Hahaha! So, you are the leader of the winged race, huh? I admit you are strong, but you forgot that you are in my domain. I am the ruler of this domain, and all the ghosts here are the source of my strength. If you challenge me to a fight inside this domain, you must be prepared to die and become one of these ghosts.”

”I don’t want to have any trouble with you, but I have to pick up an item near the Spirit Willow Tree.” The Ghost Emperor tried to intimidate Tian Qiye even more, which made her body tremble even more. Even though she was afraid of him, she didn’t show it on her face. ”That item belongs to my ancestors, so I must retrieve it and bring it back to my domain.”

”I can’t give you that item because you’re not the owner.” The Ghost Emperor shook his head in refusal, making Tian Qiye’s expression serious. ”I promised someone to hand over the equipment to its rightful owner, so I will never hand it over to you.”

Tian Qiye was furious to hear that, and she raised her sword in front of her face before activating her technique.

”Heavenly Radiance.” The winged race’s figure glowed golden after Tian Qiye said that, but she didn’t stop there and activated another technique. ”Eternal Judgment.”

”Hahaha.” The Ghost Emperor laughed upon hearing that, and he swung his huge bone cleaver towards the golden lights that were coming out from the Winged Race’s figure. ”Wailing Ghost Cut!”

In an instant, the golden lights collided with the pale gray lights coming from the Ghost Emperor’s bone cleaver. Tian Qiye’s attack seemed to have the upper hand, but the situation quickly turned around, and his attack shattered hers.

The Ghost Emperor’s attack quickly flew towards the winged race’s figure and shattered it, bouncing Tian Qiye backwards before falling to the ground.

The winged race’s figure summoned by Tian Qiye instantly disappeared after being hit by the Ghost Emperor’s attack, making her spit out a mouthful of golden blood from her mouth.

Tian Qiye couldn’t believe the Ghost Emperor could effortlessly destroy her attack. ”Impossible.”

”Hahaha! The Ghost Emperor laughed at her expression. ”If we fight in another domain, I might lose to you. However, you will never be able to defeat me as long as we fight inside my domain. Although our strengths are equal, I have several advantages in this domain, and the presence of these ghosts significantly enhances my strength compared to yours, so you can stop dreaming of defeating me. If you still wish to fight me, I assure you that you will join these ghosts and become my strength.”

Tian Liefeng hurriedly moved beside Tian Qiye and helped her up. ”Leader, we have to go now.”

”I’ll kill you someday.” Tian Liefeng and Tian Qiye instantly broke their returning jade, and both disappeared from Jiangshen Domain.

”Heh.” The Ghost Emperor snorted after they left, but a man appeared in front of him.

Zhang Fei, who was hiding in the distance, was shocked by the man’s appearance. His body trembled violently after he recognized his identity, which was the ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul. ’What is he doing in this domain?’

The ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul glanced briefly at Zhang Fei’s hiding place, making his heart tighten. His body trembled even more intensely when he remembered the incident at that time, when he almost died in his hands.

The ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul ignored Zhang Fei and spoke to the Ghost Emperor. ”The owner of the Holy Radiance Cape will soon appear in this domain, so you don’t need to return there to protect it.”

”Hmm?” The Ghost Emperor looked at the ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul in surprise. ”Does that mean my job is done?”

”Not yet.” The ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul shook his head. ”The winged race won’t give up so easily, and Tian Qiye will come back to challenge you. For now, you don’t need to do anything, and you just need to wait until they come here again.”

The Ghost Emperor nodded slightly. ”Can I kill those people if they come here again?”

”Yes.” The ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul nodded to him. ”If they come here again to bother you, you can kill them to your heart’s content, and you can turn them into ghosts inhabiting this domain.”

”Hahaha.” The Ghost Emperor laughed happily when he heard that. ”Very well! I won’t do anything to the owner of that equipment! I’ll wait for those birdmen to come here again in the future, and I’ll kill all of them who dare to enter my domain.”

Thereafter, the Ghost Emperor flew away and headed to another area, unaware of Zhang Fei’s presence.

The ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul descended and stood before Zhang Fei. ”Come out.”

’Tch!’ Zhang Fei canceled his invisibility and stared at the ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul with utter fear.

The ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul observed his body. ”I see! You’ve obtained my Gluttony and Sloth Souls, and you’re in the process of obtaining my Bloodthirsty Soul. Unfortunately, you’re still too weak to obtain mine, and you need to train harder before our final battle.”

”What do you mean by our final battle?” Zhang Fei asked while clenching both fists.

”I won’t tell you.” The ten-tailed fox’s Wrath Soul. ”I know you’ve already obtained the key to enter the illusory Spirit Fox Domain, but you must not go there. You must find my Greed and Envy Souls and merge with them first, and you can go to that domain after. Otherwise, you will die in my hands, and this universe will lose its only hope.”
