Ch 208: Transforming Yang Spirit And Divine Arts

Qie Man, flung backward, flew over a hundred meters through the air. A poison qi barrier cushioned his fall, preventing a clumsy landing in the sea.

“Damn it!”

“Kid, what’s with the Transformation into Yang Divinity? Do you really think this old man is afraid of you?”

Qie Man gritted his teeth and roared angrily, erupting with a torrent of thick, smoke-like poison qi, like a poison gas bomb.

The poison qi spread instantly, filling every inch of space with blinding speed.

In an instant, Hu Loulan was completely surrounded.

“Ten Thousand Poisons Devour the Heavens Palm!”

“Divine Art: Fire Dragon Breath.”

Qie Man and Hu Loulan attacked simultaneously.

Qie Man brought his hands together into a palm, unleashing a poison mist giant palm that blotted out the sky and sun!

Heaven and Earth changed color, stained with green and purple poison qi!

Hu Loulan also raised her palm, fire-red dragon scale-like protrusions appearing on her arm, her palm aimed at the giant palm.

Hu Loulan condensed a faint, enormous dragon head, and flames began to gather in the center of her palm.

From a distance, it looked like a giant dragon’s mouth opening, gathering flames to prepare a breath of fire.

“Boom!”

The next moment, the giant dragon head spewed out a scorching, vortex-like column of blazing flames!

The instant the blazing flames collided with the poison palm, poison qi and flames clashed violently, poison qi consuming flames, flames scorching poison qi…

Ultimately, the flames slightly prevailed, breaking through the poison mist giant palm and burning toward Qie Man.

Qie Man calmly transformed his body into gas, hiding within the surrounding poison mist.

Now, a thick poison miasma formed from the poison qi completely surrounded Hu Loulan.

Qie Man’s sinister and terrifying laughter echoed through the surrounding poison miasma.

“Hahahaha! Kid, I acknowledge your strength!”

“Let’s have a thrilling battle!”

Having spoken, poison qi condensed into another poison palm in the poison miasma surrounding Hu Loulan, attacking from all sides and sealing off all escape routes.

“Divine Art: Ice Dragon Breath.”

Hu Loulan raised both hands, ice-blue dragon scale-like protrusions appearing on her arms…

“Bang——!”

Pillars of ice, seemingly capable of freezing everything, shot out from Hu Loulan’s palm, spreading in all directions.

“This…how is this possible!”

“Whether fire or ice, both are far stronger than what those two dragons breathed!”

Qie Man, hidden in the poison miasma, was deeply shocked and terrified.

The poison qi and cold qi froze instantly upon contact. Even the giant palm condensed from poison qi froze into a block of ice, plummeting from the sky…

Qie Man watched from the shadows, his heart pounding.

“This kid, after changing color and becoming a little golden man, his strength and speed have undergone a qualitative leap. His Divine Arts are also incredibly powerful…”

“But kid, you’re still too young, you don’t understand Deception in War…”

A slight curve appeared on Qie Man’s lips.

He was going for a sneak attack, disregarding martial ethics!

In this life-or-death battle, it’s all about wisdom and strategy. Why bother with so much fairness?

From the poison miasma behind Hu Loulan, Qie Man transformed into a wisp of ethereal poison mist, silently approaching.

At close range, Qie Man revealed his original form, gesturing with a handgun pose towards Hu Loulan.

A World Devouring Demon Demise shot out!

“Hit!”

Qie Man rejoiced, watching the World Devouring Demon Demise strike Hu Loulan’s kidneys…

After that exchange.

Qie Man had roughly tested that even with the Ghost Domain, the intensity of his poison mist was no match for Hu Loulan’s “Divine Art Dragon Breath”.

As an old ghost who had lived for thousands of years, Qie Man naturally knew how powerful a Daoist with Transformation into Yang Divinity was.

After Transformation into Yang Divinity, a Daoist’s combat strength would unreasonably increase by a level.

In addition to improving their basic stats in all aspects, a Daoist who enters Transformation into Yang Divinity would also gain one or more special magic spells.

These special spells would either have immense power, comparable to hand-crafted nuclear bombs, or be unheard of and shocking.

After entering Transformation into Yang Divinity, the special magic spells obtained are widely considered to be divinely bestowed power, also known as “Divine Art”.

So, for a direct confrontation, the old fox Qie Man knew he had no chance of winning, and could only resort to a surprise attack.

After a successful sneak attack, he would quickly fly far away to create distance.

“Old man, you’re quite cunning!”

Hu Loulan reacted and turned around, but it was too late. Qie Man had already put distance between them.

“Hehe, you want my life, in a life-or-death struggle, should this old man still adhere to fairness?”

Qie Man didn’t think he was particularly shameless.

Sneak attacks are inherently part of battle.

You can sneak attack, and so can I.

If you don’t sneak attack, you’re not allowing others to either?

“Hehe, old man, but your poison…is ineffective against me!”

Hu Loulan scraped off the purple, viscous liquid from her back, her face unflushed, breathing steadily, casually flicking it away.

“Impossible! My World Devouring Demon Demise, why is it ineffective against you?”

“My World Devouring Demon Demise is the most potent poison in the world!”

Qie Man’s pupils trembled, watching the World Devouring Demon Demise being easily toyed with by Hu Loulan, then casually thrown aside, in disbelief!

“Old man, do you know the power of a dragon?”

Hu Loulan asked a question that left Qie Man puzzled.

“Dragons are mysterious, lonely, and powerful.”

“They are also immune to all poisons.”

“Your mere evil spirit poison, how could it possibly harm me, a Dragon God?”

“Your poison is indeed powerful, unfortunately, I…am poison-immune!”

“How…ah!”

Before Qie Man could finish his sentence, a large golden fist appeared before him.

Qie Man screamed, before he could recover, Hu Loulan grabbed his hair, and another powerful elbow strike landed!

“Ah!”

“You brat!”

Qie Man decided to go all out, his body bursting forth with a large amount of World Devouring Demon Demise.

Unfortunately, Hu Loulan was poison-immune.

Not only did Qie Man not get a chance to breathe, but he was subjected to even more violent heavy blows.

Every heavy blow threatened to shatter Qie Man’s body!

This is the power of a dragon!

So powerful!

So terrifying!

Qie Man felt helpless once again.

His much-vaunted Poison Skill was completely countered by Hu Loulan.

She wasn’t afraid of poison at all, what could he do?

…

Several minutes ago, Zhang Buran submerged into the sea bottom and discovered a huge iceberg.

Inside the iceberg, there was a body lying flat.

The iceberg was surrounded by concealed magic formations.

It seemed someone was deliberately hiding this iceberg.

Zhang Buran perceived a soul inside, and the feeling it gave him…

Was both powerful and weak?

Entering through the tunnel at the bottom of the iceberg, Zhang Buran saw Mu Dieyi’s corpse, and her floating soul.

Mu Dieyi’s soul looked very weak, curled up into a ball.

Sensing someone’s presence, Mu Dieyi looked up.

Seeing the unfamiliar Zhang Buran, she couldn’t help but look wary.

“You…who are you…”

Mu Dieyi trembled all over.

“Who are you?”

Zhang Buran asked back.

“Wait…I seem to have seen you before?”

“Are you from the Mu family?”

Mu Dieyi remained extremely wary: “You know me?”

“I once had a conflict with the Mu family, and I think I saw you once.”

“Don’t you recognize me?”

After carefully examining Zhang Buran for a few moments, Mu Dieyi suddenly realized: “You are…Zhang Buran?”

“Uh…uh…no…my soul is going to become a ghost…ah!”

Otherwise, Mu Dieyi clutched her head, flying around in pain.

“What’s going on? Why is your soul at the bottom of the sea?”

“Why do you have such a strong ghost qi about you, but you’re not a ghost…Could it be that you’ve been consuming Thought Ghosts to replenish your soul power to maintain your soul state?”

Zhang Buran was puzzled, his brain working rapidly.

Thought Ghosts are originally formed from the souls of the deceased, possessing residual soul power.

Normally, seven days after death, if a soul cannot let go of its obsession and reincarnate, it will become a ghost.

But if one doesn’t want their soul to turn into a ghost, there’s a way.

They can devour Thought Ghosts, absorbing the residual soul power of the Thought Ghosts to stabilize their own souls.

“Yes…but…I didn’t want to…ah!”

Mu Dieyi cried out in even greater pain, her soul constantly turning over, as if being torn apart by space, and ghost qi began to emanate from her body.

It was clearly a precursor to transforming into a ghost!

“These past two years…I’ve devoured too many ghosts…just now…just now because of that talisman, I almost had my soul shattered…”

“I feel…I can’t hold on anymore…I’m going to become a ghost…”

Mu Dieyi’s speech became slurred.

She could feel a tumultuous transformation taking place within her…

“Two years? Talisman?”

Zhang Buran had sensed the aura of the talisman from the start, and it was the talisman he had given to Hu Loulan.

Zhang Buran also roughly guessed the sequence of events.

This woman must have some connection to Hu Loulan.

Hu Loulan must have visited her earlier, and his talisman identified this woman as a ghost and detonated…

What surprised Zhang Buran was that she had actually been devouring ghosts for two years?

You see, even consuming Thought Ghosts to maintain a soul state is only temporary.

Because Thought Ghosts not only have soul power, but also ghost qi. Even if it can be suppressed for a short time, it won’t last long.

At most a month, one will be backlashed by the ghost qi and completely turn into a ghost.

What means did this woman use to maintain her soul state for two years after death?

“Ah!”

Mu Dieyi screamed, her body uncontrollably exuding ghost qi. The accumulated ghost qi exploded at that moment.

The ghosts that Mu Dieyi had devoured over the past two years, their resentment and ghost qi erupted, all clinging to her.

Mu Dieyi’s ghost qi experienced an unprecedented surge!

Zhang Buran didn’t know what to do for a moment.

This woman didn’t have malice, but there was no guarantee that after she became a ghost, she would do something irrational.

“Ah!”

Mu Dieyi let out a loud roar.

She had completely become a ghost!

And because Mu Dieyi had devoured a large number of ghosts, the ghost qi and resentment were too strong.

As soon as Mu Dieyi became a ghost, she was ranked among King-Level Ghosts!

Zhang Buran was shocked.

How many ghosts did this woman eat?

She had become a powerful King-Level Ghost?

People turning into ghosts after death also depends on their talent in life.

Ordinary people who die and become ghosts are mostly Ordinary Little Ghosts.

Even with deep resentment, at most they become Soldier-Level Ghosts.

Although ghosts can cultivate and improve, their starting point is like that.

But a Daoist with magical power who dies and becomes a ghost might start as a Spirit-Level Ghost or higher.

But very few people become King-Level Ghosts the moment they become ghosts.

Some Little Ghosts, even after cultivating for thousands of years, may not reach King-Level Ghost.

Mu Dieyi becoming a Ghost King instantly is like starting at max level.

“Uh…”

After completely turning into a ghost, Mu Dieyi covered her forehead, seemingly still not fully adapted.

Zhang Buran didn’t know what Mu Dieyi’s current state was.

Zhang Buran condensed Purple Lightning in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

If Mu Dieyi suddenly went crazy, he would instantly eliminate her…
