Chapter 516: Chapter 518: Crushed into Mud
“Hehehe, hehehe, have you ever seen a force in this world capable of completely eradicating the Earth? No matter how exquisite your swordsmanship is, it’s no different from waving at the vast land—out of your league!” The mocking laughter came once more, and it was uncertain from which part of the Ground Immortal Ghost’s remains Demon Lord Lu Jiang was speaking.
But soon, chunks of debris began to float up from the Earth. They seemed to possess life of their own, seeking out each other and then reassembling. This time, the reassembly was even more complete than before, revealing the figure of a giant from an ancient ruin city.
Transformed from an ancient city?
Such Demonic Beasts were indeed very rare.
However, with the presence of the Sword Spirit Dragon, Zhu Minglang felt it wasn’t his place to criticize.
All things have a spirit. Ancient ruin cities can transform into living beings. Fortunately, this entity clearly had nothing to do with dragons. If it were to undergo some bizarre changes and show signs of transforming into a dragon, this Earth Immortal Ghost Dragon might really stand shoulder to shoulder with the Gods!
“The Earth…”
“Na ya wu na…”
At that moment, the Nuwa Dragon within the Spirit Realm suddenly uttered a very ancient and unfamiliar language. It sounded like a hymn, yet it clearly carried a special Spiritual Rhyme.
The song drifted out, penetrating the shackles of the Spirit Realm and reaching the outside world.
The melodious music spread, echoing through the mountains and valleys of the land. For some reason, nature seemed to have been cleansed by a refreshing rain; the forests were exceptionally verdant and the soil was no longer corrupted by Demonic Qi and darkness.
There was no dramatic change, but somehow, everything felt different.
At that moment, the Nuwa Dragon conveyed its thoughts to Zhu Minglang.
She told Zhu Minglang that unless the Power of Earth Spirit within the land was eliminated, the Ground Immortal Ghost could not be killed. Even if it was ground to dust, as long as it touched the Earth, it would revert to its original form.
Thus, the Nuwa Dragon activated the Power of Earth Spirit in the land and bestowed its spiritual essence upon the trees, soil, rocks, and rivers, preventing the Ground Immortal Ghost from drawing any Spiritual Power from the land.
“That’s right, my Nuwa baby is indeed the Spirit of the Earth!” Zhu Minglang slapped his forehead heavily.
How stupid of me.
Ground Immortal Ghosts were worshipped by people but born of resentment. They did not possess Divine form but only a fraction of a God’s power.
The Nuwa Dragon, however, was a true God. Its body became the spine of the Earth, protecting the soil of this mortal world. In many places across the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, people even worshipped Nuwa.
Though her physical form may be frail and her soul shallow, she would surely not lose to a False God in terms of Divine Skills!
“It can’t reassemble its body anymore, can it?” Zhu Minglang smiled.
Immortal Ghosts are powerful and unstoppable because they are born under very special circumstances and have gained worshipped Divine Power, which spells doom for Cultivators.
But wasn’t the Nuwa Dragon the absolute nemesis of these Immortal Ghosts? The Earth that the Nuwa Dragon controls is not just soil, but also includes mountains, deserts, ice fields, rocky land, rivers, oceans…
The strongest power of the Ground Immortal Ghosts, their ability to heal by touching the Earth, was directly stripped away by the Nuwa Dragon!
Demon Lord Lu Jiang seemed to still be unaware of this.
He was just a parasite, considering himself a Divine Envoy simply because he had some communication with the Ground Immortal Ghosts. To think he was preposterously laughable.
The Earth Immortal Ghost seemed to realize that its power of earth spirit had been snatched away. It looked around in a panic, wondering what kind of being could possibly steal the elements of earth spirit from a deity of the land like itself.
“From now on, when you Immortal Ghosts arrogantly claim to be gods, ask for my opinion, Zhu Minglang, first!”
“If I say you’re a maggot, then you’re not a dragon!”
“If I say you’re mud, then you’re just a pile of muck!”
Zhu Minglang pointed his sword at the Earth Immortal Ghost. His eyes, fiery and blazing, once again shone with divine brilliance. The Sword Spirit Dragon, tempered by the Earth Vein Divine Pistil, had acquired a divine aura. This cultivation was perfectly bestowed upon Zhu Minglang, who was undergoing the Sword Awakening!
Zhu Minglang stood on the earth, and the ground seemed to burn wildly like a sea of fierce flames, highlighting Zhu Minglang’s skin, which was now aglow with fiery patterns. Zhu Minglang looked like a true fire sword-wielding Immortal Monarch!!
“Sword Meteor Sword Technique, Heavenly Shadow Combined Sword!”
Zhu Minglang suddenly vanished from the spot, leaving only an afterimage where he had stood.
Before his arrival, a fierce and fiery breath already swirled above the head of the Earth Immortal Ghost. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Minglang had appeared above the ghost. He maintained an inverted sword stance, and under the echo of the fiery breath, he and the Sword Spirit Dragon merged into one!
The sky inexplicably turned a deep red. A massive shadow loomed through the thick clouds, creating the silhouette of a sword large enough to pierce through heaven and earth!!
“Boom!!!!!!!!”
As Zhu Minglang descended with his sword, a vast heavenly shadow violently surged downwards. The surrounding mountains shook, Long Valley split apart, and the entire Sword Manor trembled!!
Beneath the sword, the heavenly shadow also arrived. The body of the Earth Immortal Ghost, composed of an ancient city’s ruins, would likely be ground into dust under this heavenly shadow of the sword!!
The power was so immense that space itself seemed to twist. When Demon Lord Lujiang looked up, he saw Zhu Minglang falling with his sword; what was truly terrifying was the Sword Meteor Heavenly Shadow that left both himself and the Earth Immortal Ghost with no place to hide!!!
The head of the Earth Immortal Ghost, formed from the Earth Altar, instantly shattered into a pile of muck!
Demon Lord Lujiang, hiding within the Demon Arm, was quick to face retribution. The Earth Immortal Ghost’s Demon Arm was being crushed, and Lujiang’s body was also pressed, his mere mortal flesh being squeezed until broken bones pierced his organs. Such excruciating pain was not something anyone could endure.
However, Demon Lord Lujiang had no escape. He chose to burrow into the altar to become a maggot; if the altar was shattered, how could he possibly be spared?
“My blood, my bones, they merge with the Earth Immortal and I shall become an immortal, I shall become an immortal!!” Demon Lord Lujiang started to laugh maniacally in his extreme pain.
It was just what he wanted, just what he wanted.
This mortal body might as well be discarded. Being ground into a pulp meant he was merging with the body of the Immortal Ghost, making him one with the Immortal Ghost!!
Before becoming a Demon God, one must suffer such tribulations.
He, Lu Jiang, was utterly unwilling to remain a mere mortal, stepped on by those who self-proclaimed to be the Son of Heaven and Goddesses!!
The shattered husk of the Immortal Ghost lay scattered on the ground. Normally, these husks would quickly absorb the spirit of the earth and rapidly brim with life once more.
But at that moment, they were dull and lifeless, and moreover, they were being gradually consumed by the encroaching Sword Qi, ground into mud!
The might of the sword was vast, the Earth Immortal Ghost was gradually disintegrating, and life was quickly fading away!
