Chapter 1012: Chapter 109 Ancient Witch Weapons Chapter 1012: Chapter 109 Ancient Witch Weapons “Friend Shen seems to know the origin of the mausoleum above?” the Bull Demon King asked, looking over.

“I used to stay near Chang'an City and know a little about this place. This is a place known as the Yinling Mountains, and the mausoleum above is said to have been built by a prince of the former Great Tang Dynasty. For some reason, it attracted a horde of ghosts,” Shen Luo briefly explained.

“I see, but what are these jade pillars? Why is there such dense Yin Qi inside them?” the Bull Demon King asked curiously, looking at a nearby jade pillar.

“These jade pillars are not ordinary stone pillars. Engraved on them are star seals, and they contain a large number of souls. These pillars are not arranged randomly either; they seem to be set up according to the ancient and peculiar Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation,” Zhenyuanzi said after looking at the group of jade pillars.

“The Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation!” Shen Luo exclaimed in surprise.

He had read about this formation in the classics. It was one of the ten great ancient arrays and was said to be very highly ranked, capable of drawing the power of the stars to vanquish enemies, which bore some similarities to his Three-Star Demonic Extermination Technique.

A light shone in the Bull Demon King's eyes as well, for the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation was a peculiar formation of the ancient Demon Race, but unfortunately, it had long been lost. He did not expect to see it here.

“Moreover, these jade pillars seem to contain the souls of people who were not ordinary, but rather the determined souls of soldiers,” Zhenyuanzi continued.

“Soldiers' souls?” Shen Luo looked startled and turned his gaze to a pillar not far away, flicking his finger at it.

A streak of black light shot from his hand, striking the jade pillar with the power of the Six Chen Whip.

The jade pillar burst apart with a roar, shaking the entire underground cave. A cacophony of elated ghostly wails arose, piercing the ears of everyone present.

Resentment surged from the collapsed pillar, and substantial black ghostly Qi emerged, quickly filling the entire underground space. The temperature plummeted, and the ground instantly froze. Everyone hurriedly cast spells to protect their bodies.

Within the black ghostly Qi, groups of soldier-shaped ghostly figures appeared, numbering over a thousand, flying all over the place, with a might that was threefold stronger than the hordes of ghosts from the Netherworld.

“These indeed are soldiers' souls, and judging by their attire, they are the military soldiers from the former Tang Dynasty. Why are they sealed here?” Shen Luo muttered with a furrowed brow.

The heavy Yin Qi of these ghosts had little effect on Taiyi beings like Shen Luo and his companions.

“Looking at the situation of the star seals on these jade pillars, the person who cast the spell didn't want to completely annihilate these soldiers' souls but used the power of the Yin Cave here to nourish them. It seems like they planned to use them for some grand purpose,” Zhenyuanzi explained.

“I see,” Shen Luo said, suddenly understanding.

According to what he knew, the army of the previous dynasty had once retreated to this place to hide, and knowing that they could not escape their doomed defeat, they set up this great formation to seal the souls of their soldiers inside. They then nourished those souls with the Yin Cave's power, hoping to counterattack Chang'an one day.

No wonder that during the Ten Thousand Demons Chang'an event, the ghosts from this place cooperated with the Refining Body Altar.

What shocked him was that there was someone in the previous dynasty who knew how to use the Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation.

The soldier ghosts soon noticed the presence of the living people like Shen Luo, their eyes filled with a thirst for fresh blood. They rushed toward the group en masse.

“Seeking death!”

Shen Luo let out a cold huff, channeling mana into the Six Chen Whip. Black talismans appeared on it, and soon it began to spin rapidly, forming a black vortex with a whirring sound.

A massive suction force emanated from it, causing the entire underground cave to tremble.

Although there were many ghosts and their strength was not weak, they were no match for Shen Luo now.

All the soldier ghosts were instantly dragged over, merging into the Six Chen Whip and devoured by it, disappearing completely within a few breaths.

At this moment, the star patterns on the white jade pillars suddenly burst into bright starlight, and the ceiling's stone wall also showed surges of starlight.

The originally black cave ceiling suddenly became transparent, revealing an incredibly complex star pattern that rumbled into operation.

A stream of starlight as thick as a water bucket shot out from the star formation, rich with an immense force of the stars, and struck the Six Chen Whip hard.

The Six Chen Whip let out a “clang” as it trembled violently, almost flying out of Shen Luo's hands.

Shen Luo quickly channeled his mana to firmly grasp it.

But the black light on the surface of the whip suddenly surged violently, rising against the starlight and clashing with it as if sworn enemies had met, neither willing to stop until one was dead.

The sound of crackling echoed in the cave space, and the nearby void also buzzed faintly.

Shen Luo was shocked by the scene before him and stood there in a daze, and so did Zhenyuanzi and the others nearby.

Fortunately, the starlight falling from the ceiling did not last for too long. After a few breaths, it dispersed, and the starlight on the pillars and the ceiling disappeared, returning to normal.

However, the changes to the Six Chen Whip did not stop; the black light on it continued to surge and shine brighter and brighter.

Within the black light, the whip itself began to change, slowly elongating, with many rust-like things falling off from it, as if undergoing some kind of metamorphosis.

Shen Luo quickly recovered, eagerly channeling his mana into the body of the whip, and his eyebrows suddenly twitched.

He had already fully refined the prohibitions of the Six Chen Whip, yet now new prohibitions suddenly appeared within it. There were many, and they were even more profound than those he had refined before.

“There were so many hidden prohibitions within the Six Chen Whip! Just in terms of quantity, they are completely comparable to the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod!” he thought joyfully, running the Innate Treasure-refining Technique to refine the new prohibitions that had appeared within the Six Chen Whip.

The black debris on the whip continued to fall off, and in a few breaths, the entire Six Chen Whip underwent a complete transformation, turning into an ancient iron whip of bronze color, wrapped with nine black metal hoops, and a bird's head embossment near the handle, its blood-red eyes lifelike.

The ancient iron whip was enveloped in an unmatched ferocity, as if it was born for slaughter; as the black light flickered, it occasionally emitted the roar of wild beasts licking blood.

“This is the War God Whip, one of the twelve Witch Artifacts forged by the Ancient Witch Clan! Who would have thought it would have always been in Li Jing's hands!” Zhenyuanzi said, taking one glance at the newly transformed Six Chen Whip and exclaiming in surprise.

“The War God Whip? The twelve Witch Artifacts?” Shen Luo looked at Zhenyuanzi, puzzled.

Nezha, Bull Demon King, Nie Caizhu and others also looked over, their faces showing curiosity, while only Yang Jian remained calm, gripping his Three-pointed Two-edged Knife tightly.

“These matters are all secrets from the Witch-Demon Great War in ancient times; it's normal that you do not know. During the ancient times, the witch and demon clans flourished, occupying the land of Hongmeng. Later, they fought a great battle for the throne of the ultimate ruler of Hongmeng. The Demon Clan's twin saints Di Jun and Donghuang wielded the innate supreme Eastern Emperor Bell, unbeatable by anyone. To counter the Demon Clan, the Witch Clan mobilized the strength of their entire clan to craft one powerful Witch Weapon for each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches to confront the Eastern Emperor Bell. This War God Whip is one of them, and Daoist friend Yang Jian's Three-pointed Two-edged Knife is another,” Zhenyuanzi explained.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, and they looked at the War God Whip and Three-pointed Two-edged Knife with even more interest.

Shen Luo examined the long whip in his hands, clearly not expecting such a significant history behind it, let alone that it was connected to the long-extinct ancient witch clan.
