Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Evil Ghost Conglomerate

"Let’s go! To the next level." Shi Feng’s figure descended beside a cautious Shi Jinsuai and said to him.

"Mm!" Shi Jinsuai looked at Shi Feng, who returned with a calm demeanor and nodded in agreement.

Then, the two of them followed the stairs down, looking toward the entrance of the lower deck before Shi Feng led the way, with Shi Jinsuai following behind.

However, just as Shi Feng was halfway down the stairs, that chilling current suddenly swept through the passageway once more.

"Uh?" Shi Feng’s eyebrows furrowed. This time, as they delved deeper, the chilling current that swept through was denser, more refined, and even more capable of freezing and destruction.

With a thought, Shi Feng immediately ignited a Blood-colored Blaze around himself, burning against the chilling current that swept toward him, and this time, despite the intermittent nature of the current, Shi Feng managed to counteract it for a while before it quickly disappeared again.

"What exactly is this chilling current, and where does it come from? It must be emanating from the bottom layer of the Ghost Ship. What could possibly be on this bottom layer?" Shi Feng tucked away the Blood-colored Blaze that erupted from his body, his eyebrows tightly knitted in thought. As the current vanished, Shi Feng moved forward, continuing towards the darkness below.

"Aoao! Aaaaah!" Just as Shi Feng entered the third level, suddenly, a series of disordered roars filled the third deck, and shortly thereafter, Shi Feng saw a massive pale figure approaching him in large strides.

"My God, what is that?" Shi Jinsuai also descended from the stairs, standing next to Shi Feng, and looking at the huge pale creature with a humanoid build.

The thing was over six or seven meters tall, shaped like a human, but its body was covered with pale and ferocious human-like ghost faces. These ghost faces seemed to have lost all rationality and, like wild animals, were howling viciously and fiercely at both Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai.

Contemplating the creature, Shi Feng said, "This was originally just an Evil Ghost, which then, after ceaselessly devouring other Yin Souls, became grotesquely large due to the massive number consumed without proper digestion. Not only did its form undergo a transformation, but its Spiritual Wisdom has become chaotic as well. This thing, it has become no different from a beast."

"Ah, Brother Shi indeed has a wide range of knowledge, it seems like you know everything, which is really hard to believe considering you’re just a teenager!" Shi Jinsuai remarked, and then added:

"Being with you makes me inevitably wonder, Brother Shi, could it be that you’re an old soul who has seized a new body?"

"What do you think?" Shi Feng did not directly answer Shi Jinsuai’s question, instead responding with a question.

His situation was, in fact, not much different from soul possession.

However, even as Shi Feng was speaking, his gaze remained intensely focused on the transformed humanoid creature.

This thing, although its Spiritual Wisdom was in chaos, possessed a soul body that had gathered countless Yin Souls, and its Yin Soul Power should not be underestimated.

"Aoao! Aaaaaah!" As the creature drew closer, its screams became more piercing and chaotic, incessantly approaching and disturbing people’s emotions. Shi Jinsuai, by Shi Feng’s side, became somewhat disoriented and agitated under the influence of the creature’s cries.

Shi Feng sensed the change in Shi Jinsuai and quickly circulated his Soul Power, shouting in Shi Jinsuai’s mind, "Snap out of it! The Yin Soul’s Soul Power is strong, and you’re easily disturbed by its emotions. Guard your mind!"

Under Shi Feng’s shout, Shi Jinsuai abruptly snapped out of the chaotic, irritable state of mind and shuddered at the memory of just moments before. He knew all too well that if he had continued in that state, his consciousness might have been devoured by those annoying, violent, and disordered emotions, ultimately becoming like the monstrous entity before him.

With these thoughts, Shi Jinsuai looked toward Shi Feng with immense gratitude. He was well aware that the young man beside him had saved him once again.

Meanwhile, Shi Jinsuai did not dare to neglect Shi Feng’s instructions and quickly acted to safeguard his own mind.

Just then, the enormous Yin Soul’s body, like a wild beast, charged at Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai.

"Burn!" Shi Feng uttered a low cry, and the bizarre, blood-colored Fiery Flames flared from him once more, scorching the massive, ghastly pale figure that leapt at them.

At the same time, Shi Feng advanced rather than retreated, charging towards the lunging figure.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!" As the blood-colored Fiery Flames engulfed it, the numerous ghostly faces on the vast Yin Soul let out piercing, agonized screams.

In theory, flames are the best nemesis of ghosts, but that applies to fiercer flames with Yang attributes. Against Yin Souls, the Extreme Yin Attribute of the Sacred Flame is less effective than those burning, scorching Yang flames.

Nevertheless, being a Seventh-stage fire of the Heavenly Fire Level, the Blood-colored Blaze was potent enough. Not only did it force the screaming ghostly faces to be torn with pain, but the sheer size of the body was also held at bay in mid-air by the Blood-colored Blaze, unable to move forward even an inch.

At that moment, Shi Feng, carrying an even more ferocious Blood-colored Blaze, approached the vast, ghastly pale figure. All the Blood-colored Blaze began to whirl towards Shi Feng and eventually converged on his right fist.

The Fiery Flames ablaze on Shi Feng’s right fist appeared extremely blood-red, bewitching and seductive.

Then, Shi Feng unleashed a Netherworld Fist enveloped with the Blood-colored Blaze. He ferociously hammered it into the head of the evil spirit—the largest and most ferocious-looking one—in a vicious blow.

"Boom!"

"Roar!" With that punch from Shi Feng, the biggest head instantly burst apart under his fist. Not only that, but the entire ghastly pale body covered with ghostly faces was blasted backward!

Just as the body flew backward, the head that Shi Feng had smashed suddenly exploded like fireworks, instantly bursting apart and scattering pale soul fragments throughout the Dark Space.

Although these souls had separated from the body, they howled and screeched just as before. Each face was twisted with ferocity and malice. Despite splitting from the body, they remained unintelligent souls, similar to the souls of wild beasts.

Watching these souls fluttering everywhere, Shi Feng’s eyes filled with cold derision at the sight of the bleak whiteness and numerous ghostly faces. With so many Yin Souls present, surely his Soul Power could rise once again.

Instantly, the smile on Shi Feng’s face grew wider as he thought. With a shift of his mind and a surge of Soul Power, an invisible, vast Soul vortex quietly emerged in front of him!
