Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Seeing that the ghost general's escape speed was not as fast as his, he took a deep breath and saw that his body and abdomen were visibly dry, but his chest and abdomen suddenly expanded. When the flesh and blood in his abdomen had reached his chest and back, he suddenly spurted out a ball of blood-colored liquid. , there seemed to be countless densely packed insects gushing out of the liquid.

The ghost general shouted loudly and pushed with his palms, and the black liquid like a water ball spurted out, growing bigger and bigger in mid-air, reaching a size of a hundred feet in the blink of an eye.

Tang Ning took out the Golden Thunder Sword in her hand and used the Tianyan Sword Technique. As the sword moves unfolded, the sword energy spread horizontally, until many afterimages merged into one, and the golden sword light rose into the sky and slashed straight down.

The sword light and the black water ball collided head-on, without any sound of collision. The black water ball was distorted and deformed visibly to the naked eye. After a short stalemate, the water ball exploded, and there was indeed something like an insect squirming inside.

The golden sword energy swept across and the lightning arc flashed. The black insects that squirmed into a dense mass were instantly killed by the thunder and lightning carried by the sword energy, and fell down in pieces.

Although I don’t know what those squirming black bugs are, I guess they are always of a sinister type. The Golden Thunder Sword with the power of golden thunder has a natural restraint on these sinister things. With the blessing of the sword energy, those black bugs Without any resistance, the sword light swept over and turned them into powder.

The momentum of the golden sword light continued unabated, and it struck the head directly on the neck.

When the ghost saw this, it let out a sharp scream, and the flesh and blood all over its body melted rapidly. Sound waves visible to the naked eye surged in like a mountain. At the same time, its palms became round, and its whole body condensed into a black light shield.

The golden sword energy slashed into the overwhelming sound waves, like a sharp arrow penetrating the bull's-eye. The sword light slashed down, and the sound waves rolling like huge waves were split into two, and the space was torn into a long black river. Long space cracks.

The black light shield around the ghost general first twisted and deformed under the sword light attack, and then shattered like a water curtain.

The sword light slashed through his body, and the ghost general fell straight down, with sword energy constantly shooting out from his body.

Tangning put away the Golden Thunder Sword, and in a flash, she came to the corpse, took out the crystal core from the body, and the death energy surged out from her palms, melting the corpse with the ghost, and then started the summoning ceremony.

As the magic circle was completed, the dark matter in the body poured in, and the pattern emitted a dazzling black light. Black mist lines gathered in the middle, and a virtual ghost general emerged.

The black light from the magic circle poured into the body of the virtual ghost general, and the ghost general gradually turned virtual into reality.

Just when Tang Ning thought everything was settled, the body of the ghost sword suddenly shook, and then the body visibly turned into nothingness.

The summoning ceremony actually failed.

Tangning was a little shocked. This was the first time he had failed to summon the undead. Soon, he realized the key to the problem.

Presumably it was because the ghost crystal core was not absorbed by the death energy, so the last step of the summoning could not be completed smoothly.

The ghost crystal core is like the demon elixir in the demon clan's body. It is condensed by its lifelong cultivation. In the past, when summoning the undead, the death energy was first released to devour all the ghosts.

But this time, the ghost general died under the Golden Thunder Sword, and the crystal core was taken away. The death energy only swallowed its body, but not the crystal core.

When I first received the inheritance of summoning the dead from the underground palace of the ancestors of the Haiyue tribe, it only recorded the steps and magical effects of the ritual of summoning the dead, and did not record other additional conditions in too much detail.

Tang Ning pondered for a while, then flipped his hand and took out the ghost crystal core that he had just put away. The death energy in his body surged out and wrapped the core. In the blink of an eye, the ghost crystal core was completely absorbed by the death energy.

He once again carved the magic circle and summoned the undead.

Soon, the magic circle was completed, emitting a dazzling light. The black mist inside was billowing, but it did not condense into the appearance of a ghost general. As time went by, the light of the magic circle became weaker and weaker, and the billowing black mist inside gradually dissipated.

Obviously, the ritual of summoning the dead has failed.

It seems that the summoning ritual must be performed at one time. Since there was no ghost crystal core before, when the ritual was performed, the ghost's body condensed but did not take shape. This has consumed the energy just absorbed.

Even if the death energy absorbs the ghost crystal core again and performs the summoning ritual for the second time, it can no longer condense the body.

At this point, although Tangning felt a little sorry for the ghost crystal core, she could only accept this reality. It can be regarded as a lesson learned!

He rose up and headed towards Qinglin City.

Not long after the commotion in the city subsided, the undead creatures inside saw him leaving and returning, and fled in panic. In an instant, various screaming sounds resounded throughout the city.

Without the original owner Chen Gu, a fusion-level ghost, the other undead creatures had no intention of resisting him. They saw many figures inside turned into birds and beasts and scattered around. Tangning focused on a ghost with a weak aura, and headed towards him. He gave chase and soon caught up to him.

With a big void step, his body flashed and he came to him.

"Don't kill me, I am willing to surrender." The Void Refining Ghost's eyes glowed red and he quickly begged for mercy.

Tang Ning ignored it, and death energy surged out from his palms, shrouding it. The ghost was not willing to sit still and wait for death. Dots of cyan light condensed in its body, converging into a huge cyan ice spear, and stabbed at him.

However, there was a huge gap in strength between the two of them. Tangning refused to dodge and allowed the ice spear emitting cyan light to stab her. There was a loud bang and the huge ice spear was shattered by his palm.

The death energy condensed in the palm has wrapped around the ghost, covering it and quickly devouring it.

After the summoning ceremony successfully resurrected it, Tang Ning led it back to the city and controlled it to send messages to other ghosts in the city, spreading the news of Chen Gu's death and the arrival of the death god. He also said that those who come to surrender within one day can Those who resist will be punished.

These remarks soon spread throughout Tsinghua City, and leaders of various ministries in the city also came to pay a visit.

…

In the main hall in the center of the castle, Tang Ning was sitting high up in a black robe and bamboo hat. Next to her stood the summoned Void Refining Ghost General. Below, a group of undead creatures were prostrate on the ground, including one who had turned into a ghost cultivator. Golden soup.

It is inconspicuous among a group of undead creatures, and is located on the left side of the third row.

Tangning glanced at him and then looked away.

When he first came to the world of the dead, Jintang already had a level of cultivation that was in the early stage of human race's transformation into gods. After so many years, although his cultivation level has increased, his progress was not too fast, and now he is only in the middle stage of transformation into gods.

Tang Ning was a little disappointed. When he left the Artifact World, he left a lot of treasures he took from Fenghua City Lord Xing Yuan with him, hoping to help him improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

However, things did not go as planned. He had advanced from the late stage of refining the void to the middle stage of integration, but Jintang was still at the middle stage of spiritual transformation.

His progress may be good for ordinary people, but it is far from enough for him. According to this progress, he will not be able to catch up with him in his lifetime. As a result, his second transformation of Fugue can definitely Just practice in vain.

Jintang must have discovered the identity of the monk from another race. Since he entered the temple, he has been acting unusually.

On the surface, it looks like other ghosts, lying on the ground with their heads hanging down, but if you look closely, you can see that their bodies are shaking slightly, whether it is fear or excitement.

Tang Ning was not too worried about this. Although he hid his face, the aura of spiritual power around his body could not be eliminated. Jintang was also a monk in the Tianyuan world, so he was naturally familiar with this aura of spiritual power.

As long as he doesn't discover his identity, he won't be forced to jump over the wall.

He was able to see through Jintang's identity at a glance because Jintang was split from his sea of ​​consciousness and had a special response to it. This is mentioned in the Divine Movement Art. The cultivator can find the split Nascent Soul through the special induction of divine consciousness and take it back into the body.

But as the split second Nascent Soul, it does not have this ability.

Jintang might have guessed that he was a monk from the Tianyuan world, but he never expected that he was Tang Ning.

After all, he only had the cultivation of becoming a god back then. Who would have thought that in less than a thousand years, he would break through from becoming a god to becoming a human body.

"This is the messenger of the supreme god of death. He patrols the northern region on behalf of the supreme god of death. The supreme god of death has arrived in this world and will liquidate all betrayers. You are all believers of the great god. If you can find your way back, God will forgive your sins, but if you persist in your sins, divine punishment will surely come.”

"From now on, everyone in the world of the dead must obey the orders of the great gods, including the leaders of all regions. If they disobey orders, Chen Gu will set a precedent."

…

Tang Ning controlled the ghost general to convey instructions to the undead creatures worshiping in the temple, asking them to build a statue and temple of the death god and swear allegiance.

Naturally, these undead creatures did not dare to violate the rules and swore an oath one after another.

As they got closer, he issued an order for them to go to the various fort owners' fields within their jurisdiction to announce the return of the Death God.
