“How should we divide our forces? Zhenyuan Taoist friend, please advise,” Puhua Tianseng said.

“I've just used a spell to probe Chang'an City's situation, and the defenses are even more stringent than anticipated. Clearly, the Demon Clan is also on guard against us. The task of infiltrating Chang'an City to find Chiyou will be undertaken by myself, Brother Shen, and Brother Nie. The rest of you will be responsible for harassing Chang'an City,” Zhenyuanzi pondered for a moment before saying.

“With just the three of you, that's incredibly dangerous,” Yang Jian hurriedly said.

“Don't worry. The Map of Mountains and Rivers has been fully restored. It can blend into the void, thus allowing us to sneak into the city without a sound. As long as we act cautiously, we three won't be in much danger. On the other hand, you all must draw the Demon Clan Army's attention. Without sufficient strength, that would be impossible. As for now, eighty percent of the Twelve Distinguished Ones of the Demon Clan have already assembled within Chang'an City, so you must prepare for a tough battle,” Zhenyuanzi said gravely.

“Alright,” Yang Jian reluctantly agreed.

Everyone then discussed the specific details of their plan. Zhenyuanzi suddenly looked up at the sky and smiled, “Ah, it seems Fire Virtue Star Lord and the others have arrived.”

With that, he waved his sleeve to open a passageway once more, and a group of figures sped through. It was indeed Fire Virtue Star Lord, the old horse monkey, Qi Lianmi, and others. There were quite a number of them, around eight or nine hundred, and all of them were strong.

“Brother Shen, Zhenyuan Taoist friend, Erlang True Monarch, I couldn't believe the news when I heard it from Puhua Tianseng–that all of you were alive and well. This is wonderful!” Fire Virtue Star Lord said, his face showing excitement.

The simian tribe from Flower Fruit Mountain, including the old horse monkey, also came forward to pay their respects to Shen Luo, who naturally encouraged them all.

Anticipating the impending battle with the Demon Clan, he took out all the Magical Treasures, Elixirs, and the treasure medicines he had obtained previously from the Storage Magical Tool of the Yellow Eyebrow and bestowed them upon the old horse monkey and the others.

Zhenyuanzi repeated the plans for the battle with the Demon Clan, and Fire Virtue Star Lord and the others showed no fear at all, instantly expressing their agreement.

“If that's the case, then we'll go ahead to create an opportunity for you three,” Yang Jian said to Shen Luo, Zhenyuanzi, and Nie Caizhu, and then turned to leave.

“Wait a second,” Shen Luo suddenly stopped them, plucking three hairs from his head. He then used his God's Power to transform them, causing the hairs to radiate a brilliant golden light.

Nie Caizhu and Zhenyuanzi understood and infused their Mana into them.

The three hairs flashed with golden light and transformed into another Shen Luo, Nie Caizhu, and Zhenyuanzi.

“Brother Shen is as cautious as ever,” Yang Jian smiled at Shen Luo before leading the way out.

The others followed, and soon only Shen Luo's trio was left in the cave.

“Now that everything has ended, this Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation in the cave is no longer necessary, right?” Shen Luo asked without leaving, looking towards Zhenyuanzi.

“It is no longer needed,” Zhenyuanzi shook his head and gestured with a hand seal.

The star banners arranged around the cave all flew back and went into his sleeve.

“That's good,” Shen Luo's eyes flashed with excitement as he took out the War God Whip with a flip of his hand, and swung it in the air.

A wave of black energy spread out, filling the entire cave in an instant, causing all the perfectly intact white jade pillars to explosively shatter.

“Mwahaha…” Screams of ghosts erupted as countless ghostly figures appeared, innumerable, so many that the space in the cave was insufficient. Many ghosts flew through the passageway to the outside.

Shen Luo raised the Map of Mountains and Rivers in his hand, which flashed and disappeared.

The next moment, the edge of the cave flickered with white light, as the Map reappeared. However, it had transformed into a massive white scroll, tens of yards wide and thousands of yards long, which connected end to end, forming a giant white circular Protective Cover that enclosed the entire cave within.

“`

The ghosts tried to charge outside, but they were confined by the white protective cover and could only stay in this place.

Zhenyuanzi and Nie Caizhu understood what Shen Luo was about to do and did not try to stop him.

Shen Luo took a deep breath, exerted all his strength to activate the War God Whip, and a huge black vortex appeared, drawing in all the ghosts from inside the cave and refining them with the Soul Devouring Array.

“Brother Shen, even with the War God Whip in your hand, absorbing so many divine souls at once will be too much for your body to bear,” Zhenyuanzi exclaimed, startled by Shen Luo's action, and hurriedly attempted to stop him.

“I know my limits; you needn't worry,” said Shen Luo with a light chuckle.

Now, with time of the essence, in order to contend with the Demon Clan, he had to enhance his strength as much as possible. Devouring the ghosts here to boost his divine soul's power was the best choice.

Such a hasty increase in the power of the divine soul entailed great risk, of course, but Shen Luo was fairly confident he could withstand it, and even if he failed, it didn't matter since he could be resurrected.

Using a few resurrections in exchange for an explosive increase in soul power was a worthwhile trade.

He mobilized all his mana, pouring it into the War God Whip, driving the Soul Devouring Array to operate.

The War God Whip trembled slightly, filled with power that hadn't been so strong in many years. The Soul Devouring Array spun rapidly as if an ancient Evil Deity had awakened, craving slaughter.

The black vortex expanded rapidly, covering the entire white light curtain in the blink of an eye.

All the ghosts inside the cave were swallowed up in an instant.

Zhenyuanzi and Nie Caizhu were also affected by the black vortex, their divine souls flickering.

Zhenyuanzi looked surprised, apparently shocked by the terrifying power of the Soul Devouring Array. He waved his whisk, and a faint ripple of white light spread out, enveloping him and Nie Caizhu, instantly nullifying the effect of the black vortex on them.

The immense black vortex did not last long; it disappeared after a couple of breaths.

Inside the War God Whip, the Soul Devouring Array devoured and completely refined all the ghosts at once.

Shock filled Shen Luo's eyes; nearly two hundred thousand ghosts had been swallowed in one gulp? The Soul Devouring Array was even more powerful than he had anticipated, worthy of being a peerless formation created by the Ancestral Witch.

The Soul Devouring Array paused for a moment and then began to rotate in reverse.

One by one, white round beads shot out, merging into Shen Luo's brow and becoming one with his divine soul.

Shen Luo's divine soul in his mind expanded rapidly like inflating, growing more than tenfold in a few breaths.

His head felt as if it was filled with scorching lava, swelling continuously, with waves of pressure battering against his skull as if it would burst open any moment.

However, the steady stream of white round beads emerging from the Soul Devouring Array did not stop, continuing to surge forward, infusing bunches of pure divine soul strength into Shen Luo's divine soul.

Shen Luo endured the intense pain in his mind, straining to run the Suppressing God Technique to stabilize the rampant increase of the divine soul's power, but it was ineffective.

The rapidly strengthening divine soul was like an erupting volcano that the Suppressing God Technique wouldn't be able to suppress. The more it tried to suppress, the more intense the rebound became.

Nonetheless, with an unyielding mind and the thought of being able to be reborn, Shen Luo didn't give up despite the worsening condition of his divine soul, repeatedly running the Suppressing God Technique over and over.
