n

nHuang Feng’s corpse was lying on the ground. A malicious vengeful ghost with countless ghostly heads writhing in its abdomen laid on top of his corpse, devouring the last trace of life in his body.

n

nLooking at Xiao Ran standing at the door, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and revealed two sharp fangs with a sinister smile.

n

nWhen she saw that the disciples guarding outside had been killed, she questioned him, “You’re not Tiger Acuminous!”

n

n“You’re not a bride either,” Xiao Ran retorted in return.

n

nHe activated his Spiritual Clarity Eye to check her skills evolution level.

n

nLevel 6 of Profound Realm!

n

nThis was the first time he had encountered a Spectral Sovereign with such a high level of evolution. When did such a monster appear in the Qing Province?

n

n“I am the bride,” the Spectral Sovereign said with a coquettish smile.

n

nThere was a special enchantment in the voice. It could mess with one’s mind and cast a spell on one’s rationality, making one sink uncontrollably into her grasp.

n

nHowever, it was useless in front of Xiao Ran.

n

n“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Xiao Ran crossed his arms across his chest.

n

n“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. It is the truth,” said the Spectral Sovereign.

n

n“With your evolution level, you have countless ways to kill him. Why do you still want to marry him?”

n

nThe Spectral Sovereign stroked her beautiful hair, then revealed an ugly face.

n

nJust her looks alone could frighten countless people to death.

n

n“Don’t you think it’s more interesting this way? When they are all excited and aroused, I will torture them to death bit by bit, then suck away all their vitality. It’s such a wonderful approach!” the Spectral Sovereign regaled with relish.

n

n“He’s such a poor thing.”

n

n“No!” The Spectral Sovereign shook her head.

n

n“He was exceptionally energetic when he was performing that act. When he was done, he even complimented me on being the most beautiful woman in the world, and that I was especially gentle. That’s a pleasurable process too.”

n

n“You’re nuts!” Xiao Ran blurted out.

n

nThe Spectral Sovereign giggled and walked over. Her appearance changed and morphed from the ugly face changing into a beautiful face again.

n

nRevealing the outward appearance of a young girl, she smiled shyly. “Would you like to give it a try?”

n

n“Don’t be disgusting. I don’t have this sort of hobby.” Xiao Ran almost puked as he said this.

n

n“You don’t know what’s good for you!” The Spectral Sovereign’s face darkened ominously.

n

n“Whoever you are, now that you have bumped into me, I can’t let you live any longer.”

n

nAs the spectral force surged into the sky, her immense aura once more swept out and turned into a spectral domain, enveloping the entire palatial hall.

n

nA cold wind howled, brimming with terrifying power.

n

nShe was like a high and mighty monarch, looking down on all insignificant living creatures. Like a cat taunting a mouse, she teased him mercilessly, “Although a melon plucked prematurely will not taste as sweet, it will nonetheless quench part of my thirst.”

n

nWith a tap of the spectral hand, the endless spectral force in the surroundings condensed into hundreds of ghostly chains that flew towards Xiao Ran with lightning speed to bind him.

n

n“If you want to pluck melons, you need to have the ability first,” Xiao Ran offered her this advice.

n

nThousands of Apotropaic Divine Lightning bolts shot out of his body. Radiating out from his body with wild abandon, they bombarded the spectral force and the hundreds of ghostly chains.

n

nWhoosh…

n

nThick, dense smoke rose up as all the spectral force was destroyed.

n

nEven the spectral domain that evolved from spectral force could not withstand the destructive power of lightning.

n

nXiao Ran then drew out the Beryl Lotus Brilliance Sword, and the aura of a Consummate Numinous Treasure spread out.

n

nRainbow light circulated around the sword as its powerful sword energy burst forth. It tore through heaven and rampaged through earth, as if the moment it slashed down, a brand new world would be born.

n

nAt her level of skills evolution, the Spectral Sovereign was very knowledgeable and perceptive.

n

nWith one look, she instantly recognized the Consummate Numinous Treasure in Xiao Ran’s hand. From the aura emanating from Xiao Ran’s body, she realized that this old monster before her eyes was at the same level of evolution as she was.

n

nHe looked so young. He must have mastered some skill that could retain his youthful appearance.

n

nThere was definitely no such character in Qing Province, so he must have come from the capital city.

n

nThe more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. The Spectral Sovereign somehow felt that this was a trap, a trap set to capture her.

n

nShe suspected that he had obtained reliable information about her from the capital city and then deliberately set up an ambush for her using the Yellow Sand Sect as bait.

n

nThat was a highly likely possibility.

n

nHow else could there be so many coincidences in one place? An old monster appeared in this lousy place carrying a Consummate Numinous Treasure.

n

nHe was an expert of the same realm as her, and he had even mastered a lightning skill with the strong Yang energy.

n

nShe might not even be a match for him. Furthermore, he was still holding a Consummate Numinous Treasure with a potent combat quality in his hand.

n

nWHOOSH!

n

nWith the enhancement of the spectral force on her body, she unleashed her evasion technique at the maximum strength and turned into a plume of ghostly smoke that shot into the sky.

n

n“Running away even before we have started fighting?” Xiao Ran asked in surprise.

n

nActivating the Traversing the Heavens in Twelve Steps, with one step Xiao Ran dashed into the clouds. As the 12th step landed, his speed increased 12-fold and he reappeared in front of her in a flash.

n

n“Where are you going in such a hurry?”

n

n“Move!” said the Spectral Sovereign with a grim face.

n

n“Sword Intent.” Xiao Ran launched his attack.

n

nThe dazzling sword energy was like a mighty river of sunlight that pierced through heaven and earth. Coupled with the Beryl Lotus Brilliance Sword, its power increased exponentially. Tens of thousands of sword threads hovered in a densely packed web high in the sky.

n

nEach thread of sword was imbued with an infinite destructive power.

n

nXiao Ran locked onto her aura and swiftly slashed down with his sword.

n

nThe Spectral Sovereign faced the tens of thousands of sword threads as if she was engaging a mortal enemy. She did not dare to hold back and unleashed her full powers that converged and morphed into a giant sword. She then took out a skeleton that emitted the aura of a Numinous Treasure.

n

nThis was her elemental numinous treasure – the Mystic Yin Skeleton.

n

nMobilizing all the spectral force within her body, the Spectral Sovereign infused it into the Mystic Yin Skeleton and then roared out in rage, “Sky Specter Descends!”

n

nThe Mystic Yin Skeleton came to life and transformed into a huge skeleton that was thousands of feet tall. Ghostly flames burned, incinerating the sky and boiling the sea. It suddenly opened its enormous mouth attempting to swallow the sword light.

n

nCrack!

n

nAs the giant sword descended from the sky, the Mystic Yin Skeleton was hacked in half. Wherever the sword energy passed, the space turned into a void, just like ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

n

n“No…”

n

nUnder the Spectral Sovereign’s terrified gaze, it slashed down on her without mercy.

n

nThe ghostly embodiment dissipated, and evaporated from the world.

n

nThe terrifying sword light left an indelible scar between heaven and earth that lingered for a long time.

n

nFrom below, it looked as if the heavens were weeping.

n

nThe Golden Tome of Creation flipped open to a random page and displayed five rewards. As one would expect from a Level 6 Profound Realm expert, the rewards were very generous.

n

nHowever, now was not the time to check rewards.
