Chapter 440: Chapter 290: The Awakening of an Ancient Ghost God! [Second Release!]_2

Two imposing figures emerged on the other side of the line of sight.

Both were clad in armor, with shackles and fetters.

"..."

Lin Yan’s heart grew colder as he once again drew the Divine Bow.

He harnessed the six hundred and forty-eight strands of True Qi within him, as well as the strength of the Little White Ape.

Pointing deep into the Forbidden Land!

——

The Judge’s eyes were cold and sharp as he suddenly retreated, avoiding the direction of Lin Yan’s arrows.

The two Ghost Generals, coming forth from the deep recesses of the Forbidden Land, joined the Judge.

"Is there certainty of victory, Martial Judge?" asked the Ghost General on the left, halting his steps and speaking aloud.

"No," the Judge replied in a deep voice, "This man is too peculiar, from cultivation, sword skills, to his imposing presence and divine intent, he is far inferior to me, yet he completely has the upper hand, and has injured my physical body! In over a hundred years of practice, I have never encountered such strangeness..."

"Then do you believe, together with the two of us, that we have the power to eradicate him?" asked the Ghost General on the right, once again.

"Logically speaking, it should be possible," said the Judge somberly, "But the abilities of this person defy all logic!"

"In that case, do not linger in battle, retreat," said the Ghost General on the left.

"No!" The Judge’s expression changed slightly.

"This is the wish of Lord Grandfather," the Ghost General on the right stated.

"The opponent wants to seal this breach, reverse the formation, and seal us all inside!" The Judge pondered for a moment and finally confessed frankly.

"Lord Grandfather already has a contingency plan!" the Ghost General on the left responded.

"..." The Judge looked serious.

"After the baptism, Lord Grandfather will be a New God, opening up a new Boundary, naturally unwilling to be sealed here," said the Ghost General on the right.

"So, Martial Judge, you need not worry about being sealed here with us, unable to break free," said the Ghost General on the left.

"Inheriting the position of the Judge, you were originally unable to leave this place... Your wish to fight desperately is merely to escape to the outer Boundary, free from the confinement of the formation, to continue interacting with the outside world, to control the Tribulation Ash forces of your East Mountain Prefecture," the Ghost General on the right said coldly.

"The Grandfather Lord has promised, when the time comes to leave, he will take you with him... You will be able to completely leave this Boundary, and as the Judge, you will enter the vast world beyond," he said.

"What must I sacrifice?"

The Judge fell silent for a moment before asking this.

"One of your eyes," said the Ghost General on the left. "The Milder Judge is beginning to awaken, and he needs your eye to help him complete his magic."

The Judge was quiet for a moment, then nodded and said, "I can!"

——

The place where Lin Yan stood now was the dividing line within the Forbidden Land.

Going further would lead to the heart of the Forbidden Land.

To retreat meant exiting to the periphery of the Forbidden Land.

It was on this dividing line that Li Zhen and the others had sacrificed their blood to the Zodiac, thereby blocking the breach.

"The Rapid Ghost told me that those two Ghost Generals we saw just now have a lower tier than the Martial Judge,"

Lin Lei came forward and said in a low voice, "However, the Martial Judge seems to be unable to fully control his divine authority, so... his abilities should be nearly the same as those two Ghost Generals."

Lin Yan nodded slightly, put away the Divine Bow, and said, "If the three of them join forces to attack... I’m not completely confident I can win!"

"What do we do now?" Lin Lei fell silent, then asked.

"The three of them have all retreated," said Lin Yan, looking towards the depths of the Forbidden Land. "It seems we have defended this breach."

Lin Lei nodded and moved to the side.

Li Zhen was completely dead, even the incarnate Zodiac flesh and blood he had become had ceased growing.

But among the other twelve Martial Artists, a few were not yet completely dead, and the Zodiac flesh and blood was still growing, albeit extremely slowly.

Lin Yan had left them three types of life-preserving Spirit Talismans.

Among these was the Soul Stabilizing Talisman.

As Lin Lei recited the spell and ignited the Soul Stabilizing Talisman within these few pieces of "Zodiac flesh and blood," it awakened what consciousness remained.

"Was it Master who held this place?"

"It was me."

Lin Yan, his expression grave, said: "What happened?"

The residual consciousness within the Zodiac flesh and blood did not conceal anything and informed of the plan to seal the breach.

Lin Yan and Lin Lei exchanged glances, their faces betraying complex emotions.

Neither of the brothers had known of this plan; perhaps even Mr. Lu was not fully privy to it.

Lin Yan understood in his heart; after all, it was a plan that East Mountain Prefecture had long contemplated!

Outside the Forbidden Land, the East Mountain Prefecture Master had not even decided whether Mr. Lu and Lin Yan’s group would join them, let alone reveal the entire plan.

Once inside the Forbidden Land, who was to be the Tribulation Ash was uncertain; the East Mountain Prefecture Master could not possibly disclose it openly.

——

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mr. Lu’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Above the Spirit Talisman Mirror, the scene transmitted once again.

In the depths of the Forbidden Land, there lay a group of members from the Tribulation Ash.

Among these Tribulation Ash members, there were the Zhao Ye people from the East Mountain Prefecture’s Observatory.

The current scene was the one transmitted back by the Zhao Ye people inside.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master had learned of the recent turn of events through this Zhao Ye person.

"The plan was originally flawless, even if the Grand Sect Master of the Tribulation Ash became the Martial Judge, facing that bone sword, he would hardly escape unscathed,"

the East Mountain Prefecture Master said so, his expression more complex.

Worldly affairs are so variable and difficult to predict in their entirety!

In the plan previously formulated by the East Mountain Prefecture, there was no consideration for the presence of Duke Murky Spirit!

But just before, as the Blessed Land of Qifeng Prefecture surfaced, the remaining soul of Lord Qingling from more than three thousand years ago, had come to this Forbidden Land!

Moreover, the Taiyin Mysterious Light contained in the Jade Scroll gifted by Duke Murky Spirit to the Martial Judge had slowed down the sharpness of the bone sword.

However, unforeseeable events were not limited to just one instance.

Just as they hadn’t predicted Duke Murky Spirit’s arrival in the Forbidden Land, disrupting the original plan,

the East Mountain Prefecture Master also hadn’t expected Wu Chang to arrive in time, possessing the capability to push back the Martial Judge.

That at least had made up for the oversight!

"Do not underestimate Duke Murky Spirit! Although It is but a remaining soul, Lord Qingling was once a New God who had refined an entire Blessed Land!"

"It seems that in this Forbidden Land, It possesses considerable powers, capable of awakening ancient Ghost Gods that lay dormant,"

Mr. Lu said in a grave tone, "Master Fu Zhong, I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip, follow the way back, find Wu Chang, and tell him to be cautious and vigilant..."

After a pause, Mr. Lu reached into his chest, retrieving an item.

It was the Divine Elemental Treasure Bead of the Hawk God Venerate.

There were no incense offerings contained within.

But it was imbued with three streams of Mr. Lu’s Mana.

"Hand this bead over to him!"

——

The consciousness within the flesh of Tai Sui had completely dissipated.

This signified that the group of Martial Artists led by Li Zhen had been entirely annihilated.

But from the beginning, they had come here to die, used as bait to lure the Grand Sect Master of the Tribulation Ash.

"It can be considered a success."

Lin Yan and Lin Lei retreated to the outer edges of the Forbidden Land, heaving a sigh.

They had just sensed the Sword Intent of the Li Shen Sect, aware of the emergency that had occurred here.

They had barely arrived to see the Martial Judge draw his sword, cleaving through the flesh of Tai Sui, revealing Li Zhen within.

While they did not understand the reason behind it, Lin Yan could roughly guess one or two possibilities.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to strike at the Martial Judge, even attempting to slay the Ghost God.

"Blocking back the Grand Sect Master of the Tribulation Ash, and once the sealing is complete here, the East Mountain Prefecture Master can then reverse the Formation..."

Lin Yan said, "Then the disaster of the Forbidden Land will be temporarily contained! It’s just a pity that Duke Murky Spirit seems to be deep within the Forbidden Land, and once It is sealed, there will no longer be an opportunity for my brother..."

Lin Lei chuckled and said, "Sealing this place to prevent millions of the Human Clan in East Mountain Prefecture from future calamity is certainly worth it."

"The chains that bound my brother have also been taken by the Martial Judge. Without them, only the prison whip remains to destroy souls... it will be hard to capture Evil Spirits and demons with chains anymore."

Lin Yan said this while observing the Tai Sui’s flesh that was gradually growing and swelling.

Although the speed had slowed down considerably compared to before, at this rate, within half an hour, the flesh of Tai Sui would completely fill the empty space ahead, thereby connecting the Formation’s patterns and completing the seal.

And Lin Yan planned to guard this place for half an hour and send the Rapid Ghost with a special marker to report the situation here to Mr. Lu.

But in the next moment, Lin Yan’s heart suddenly became apprehensive, feeling as if he were being watched.

The blade in his hand struck out behind him.

Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade!

A squelching sound!

He slashed along the seams of the Tai Sui flesh, towards the inside of the Forbidden Land!

Suddenly, "liquid" splattered forth.

Upon closer inspection, an object was split in half, its liquid contents spilled out.

"This is..."

Lin Yan’s eyebrows knitted tightly as he suddenly recognized something, whispering, "an eyeball?"

"It’s over!"

Master Fu Zhong, who had rushed over from not too far, suddenly turned pale.

He glanced at the halved eyeball within the crevice of the Tai Sui flesh.

Then he looked at the Divine Elemental Treasure Bead in his hand.

He opened his mouth and said with a dry voice, "I am too late."
