Chapter 1456: Chapter 1452: A Strike from Beyond the Skies Chapter 1456: Chapter 1452: A Strike from Beyond the Skies “Wild ghosts! These are high-tier ghosts from Yama's Palace, their strength comparable to beings in the Early Mahayana Stage. Moreover, their bodies can turn ethereal, making ordinary attacks almost useless against them. They are extremely troublesome,” Soul Hook Horse Face inhaled sharply after seeing a few of these creatures.

“Is that so?” Shen Luo said indifferently and put away the Fire Lotus beside him.

No ghost could withstand the power of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

He activated the Qiankun Bag at his waist and collected the bodies of several wild ghosts, planning to let Zhao Feiji refine and absorb them when he returned.

“Wild ghosts are extremely rare, and they usually only inhabit the swamps near the Nether River. How could they appear here?” Soul Hook Horse Face suddenly mumbled to himself.

“It seems that someone has gathered ghosts from various places here, probably to prevent people from seeing the people of Chang'an. I fear there might indeed be someone manipulating this behind the scenes,” Shen Luo remarked, his eyes flashing upon hearing this.

“Based on the current situation, it's likely so,” Soul Hook Horse Face admitted reluctantly, unable to deny the evident facts.

At that moment, a low growling sound came from a distance, and a few ghostly figures resembling skulls fiercely pounced towards them.

“Skull creatures!” Soul Hook Horse Face's expression changed.

“No need to entangle with them, continue moving forward.” Shen Luo urged, activating the Escape Earth Talisman to dive deeper, with Soul Hook Horse Face quickly following.

However, this time, a strange power emerged from below the ground, making the soil much more compact, significantly hindering the progress of the Escape Earth Talisman.

The pursuing skull ghosts also burrowed into the underworld, chasing closely.

These skull creatures, stronger than the wild ghosts encountered just now, had reached the Middle Mahayana Stage. They seemed unaffected by the strange power underground, quickly closing the distance between them.

Shen Luo frowned, activating the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing, and a blue light enveloped him and Soul Hook Horse Face.

Both of their bodies instantly turned ethereal, significantly reducing the influence of the strange power in the surrounding soil, and their descent speed abruptly increased, managing to put some distance between them and the ghosts.

Just as Shen Luo was about to break through the soil layer and enter the fourth level of the Nameless Ghost City, the odd power in the surroundings suddenly increased several times; black patterns emerged from the soil, abruptly binding their bodies, and even the ethereal abilities of the Soft Smoke Luo Brocade were unable to evade.

“An Array!”

A chill ran down Shen Luo's spine as he realized he had fallen into a trap. Just as he was about to exert his full strength to destroy some of the array patterns, a vast expanse of bright black luster suddenly surfaced, engulfing his vision.

The black light was so dense it seemed tangible, and even with his Ghost Eye of the Netherworld, he involuntarily closed his eyes.

“Not good!” Shen Luo exclaimed the moment he closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, the surroundings had completely changed; the soil and Soul Hook Horse Face had vanished, and he found himself in a gray, seemingly boundless space.

“An illusionary array, and it seems to be of a high level,” Shen Luo's heart sank, but he did not panic. He raised his hand to release the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet and the Bloodthirsty Flag. A gold and a black light curtain protected his entire body.

After doing this, he felt somewhat more at ease. He began to operate his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings, looking for flaws in the illusionary space.

Just then, the space around him fluctuated, and one silver crescent moon after another appeared, filling the entire space in a few breaths.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo prepared a sword technique.

A sharp shriek resonated as numerous red sword qi burst from his body, slashing towards those silver moons, but they easily passed through, as ineffective as trying to catch the moon from the water.

Shen Luo's heart sank, and he was just about to deploy another spell when suddenly, beams of dazzling silver light shot out from the crescent moons, shining upon him.

Before the silver light, the protection of the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet and the Bloodthirsty Flag seemed like nothing, easily penetrated.

Shen Luo's expression changed abruptly as a sinister power seeped in from the silver light, heading straight for his divine soul in his mind, causing his entire divine soul to sting with pain.

He immediately activated the Suppressing God Technique, and all his soul power condensed into a giant peak, considerably reducing the sensation of pain.

“Indeed, this is no ordinary Illusion Array — it even includes Divine Soul Attacks!” A fierce light flashed in his eyes as he raised his hand and formed a gesture.

A vermilion flying sword shot out, enlarging tens of times in an instant, transforming into a crimson giant sword and spinning rapidly, forming a huge red fire wheel.

“Puff” “Puff” several sounds!

The red fire wheel brightened intensely, and several vermilion flame sword energies sprayed out from it, striking various parts of the gray space, but dissipated without effect as if sinking into the sea.

Shen Luo was not surprised, and with a gesture like turning the wheel of a car, four thick crimson glow shot out from the fire wheel, transforming into four flame Vermilion Birds, each several tens of feet in size.

As soon as the four flame Vermilion Birds appeared, they opened their mouths and expelled countless vermilion sparks, which instantly surged and began to burn fiercely, forming a vast sea of crimson flames that roiled and tumbled in the blink of an eye.

The gray space immediately shook from the burning, but beyond that, there was no other disturbance.

Shen Luo exerted all his strength to operate the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld, his eyes emitting a foot-long green light mixed with strands of black aura, closely monitoring the changes around him.

Moments later, his gaze suddenly fixed on a point in the space, and flipping his hand, he threw out a dark red big seal, the very Turn Sky Seal.

Dazzling dark red spiritual light rose from it, and the Turn Sky Seal instantly enlarged by tens of times, transforming into a palace-sized dark red giant seal, and fiercely struck down towards the area he was looking at.

With a “sizzle,” that area shattered like a mirror, and the surrounding void once again revealed vast black light, making everything spin around.

Once his field of vision returned to normal, Shen Luo found himself back in the soil layer.

In front of him, a huge square space hundreds of feet in size suddenly appeared in the mud, clearly created by the strike of the Turn Sky Seal, and the black runes within the mud had already completely collapsed, turning into wisps of black smoke drifting away.

At the same time, in some black space, a short figure stood in mid-air, in front of which floated a gray altar about one zhang in size, spinning rapidly.

At that moment, the gray altar suddenly burst into intense light and exploded with a “bang.”

The small figure shook violently, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“It's impossible, the Spirit Refining Array is a secret formation of the Witch Clan, and with the residual power of this Witch God Altar, it should have increased the Array's power by nearly half. How could it be broken so easily!” The short figure roared in disbelief.

His teeth chattered loudly, and quickly, his figure moved and vanished from the black space.

Shen Luo broke free from the gray Array, immediately recalled the Turn Sky Seal, and gently caressed it, unable to hide his delight.

After days of refining, he had finally managed to refine several layers of prohibitions in the Turn Sky Seal, barely able to activate it.

However, this seal consumed a vast amount of mana; that one strike had decreased his mana by a full third.

But seeing the effect of that strike, even a high mana cost was worth it.
