Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

Fierce fighting has begun in this deadly land filled with miasma. The fight between humans and ghosts breaks the silence, adding more fertilizer to the swamp area which is already full of dangers.

Artillery fire and magic kept streaking across the sky, swords and sabers could be seen everywhere on the ground, blood dyed the wetlands and quagmire red, and many tanks and artillery vehicles failed and lost control after suffering heavy blows and sank into the swamp of death.

Kevin, one of the Five Riders of the Iron Blood Alliance, followed the orders of his immediate superior, Mo Cha, and mobilized all available forces to try to break the encirclement of the Ghost Alliance army. This included half of the Iron Blood Alliance's troops, the main force of the Temple of the Gods, all the troops of the Hundred Beasts Gate, and the ghost bandits organized by all parties.

Inside the Soul Pavilion, the disciples in grey windbreakers kept casting spells to consolidate the defensive barrier. Their magic power was continuously output, but they were not hit by any gunfire.

Ying Li made a very good move in this regard. He ordered the Ghost Alliance to surround the enemy but not attack, exerting pressure on them to make them tense and invisibly consuming a lot of their mental and magical power.

After all, no one dared to take this risk. What if the Ghost Alliance army launched an attack without hesitation if they relaxed for a moment? No one dared to take this responsibility.

"Asshole! Who brought in the Ghost Alliance?"

In the stone palace facing the bonfire, a young man looked at the picture in the crystal ball with a distorted expression.

He saw the ghost army, which was on high alert and full of murderous intent, surrounding him. The fact that they could organize such a large army in this place with complex terrain and fog showed that they knew the terrain here very well. However, there was no one from the Soul Pavilion in the Ghost Alliance. Could there be a traitor?

"Pavilion Master, please calm down. The most urgent task is to contact General Mocha as soon as possible. Only she can take action to defeat the enemy."

A skinny old man with a beard down to his waist said as he bowed.

"They have an insider. There must be someone from the Soul Pavilion trying to lead Nurarihyon! Pavilion Master, I think we must first stabilize the country before we can fight against foreign enemies!" another burly man shouted.

The young man sitting on the high throne was none other than Hao Yang, the leader of the Soul Pavilion who had usurped the throne. There were some strange lines drawn on his otherwise handsome face, and his eyes were flashing with a dark green night light that did not belong to human.

"I know, I understand what you said. But...how can we contact Mo Cha? The signal is blocked, and the outside is surrounded by people. Who else can solve the case and catch the traitor?"

As Hao Yang spoke, a faint light flashed in his eyes. The temperature in the palace kept getting colder, and twisting roots appeared out of thin air from all parts of his body. The people in the audience lowered their heads timidly, not daring to look directly at the Pavilion Master.

Half of these Soul Pavilion high-level officials are humans, and the rest are orcs, evil spirits, elves, dwarves, undead, trolls and other races.

From their fear of the Pavilion Master, it could be seen that this young Pavilion Master, whose cultivation was only at the first level of Ghost King Realm, possessed some very terrifying power that did not belong to him or even to this world.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Hao Kun spoke up. His voice suddenly became heavy, half of it his own, and the other half a hoarse, low, creepy roar:

"You useless cowards! Since no one has volunteered to help the Soul Pavilion, I will give you courage!"

Everyone was horrified and stepped back involuntarily, followed by screams.

The soldiers guarding outside the palace were trembling with fear. From the reflection, they saw a large number of thick and slender tentacles tying up a group of senior officials and dragging them into some kind of soft-bodied creature. Then, bursts of strange roars were heard. They were transformed into inhuman monsters!

On Ying Li's side, he used the "Dark Vision World" to see through the potential teams in the swamp and sent people to intercept them.

Nurarihyon, the first one to encounter the Temple of the Gods, has completed his mission and returned to Yingli. The shadow under his feet has become twisted and huge, wrapping the bodies of the elite members of the Temple of the Gods like sacks and transporting them to Yingli.

"Demon Lord, it's okay if he dies, right?" Nurarihyon said, scratching his head. He hit too hard and accidentally killed the man.

"It doesn't matter."

As he spoke, Ying Li pulled a corpse out of the shadows, and pressed one hand on the man's forehead to activate "Ghost Embers". A piece of information flowed into Ying Li's mind, and he looked in the direction of the Soul Pavilion in surprise.

Before he could react, Galantina returned to Ying Li. She looked a little embarrassed, and it seemed that she had encountered a strong enemy.

"Bah! Xing Chu from the Beast Sect is still alive and brought so many experts with him. I almost couldn't come back!"

After saying that, she threw two heads on the ground. One was a woman from the angel tribe, and from the golden magic pattern on her forehead, she was a four-winged angel. The other was a tiger man among the orcs, and he was wearing a crown.

Ying Li didn't have time to ask about Galantina's situation, and read the memory of the corpse again. This time he got information about Mo Cha's abilities and the conspiracy between the Iron Blood Alliance and the Soul Pavilion Master.

Mo Cha is a paladin who practices the holy light magic unique to the angel clan, a candidate for the next angel clan leader, and a general in the Urian Kingdom’s army.

He has remained at the seventh level of Ghost King Realm for nearly a hundred years. With his talent limited to this point, he has devoted himself to war and other official duties, making it difficult for him to make progress in his cultivation. However, his realm is stable and he has few rivals at the same level.

The collusion between the Holy Land and the Soul Pavilion was aimed at the Black Sky Xiao, the Demon Lord who was hiding in the virtual world. They learned about Black Sky Xiao through the current Pavilion Master Hao Yang, and then usurped power with the support of the Iron Blood Alliance and forced the old Pavilion Master Qing Ling to hand over the key to open the door to the virtual world.

After that, Qing Ling and Yuchi Yan fled from the Soul Pavilion and hid there for hundreds of years. They learned about the outside world through the Ghost Alliance members who came and went in the inn. Among them, Slanda was one of the most reliable messengers.

Then Yuchi Yan, Qing Ling and Silanda returned one after another, and brought back the bodies of the leaders of these teams, but Ying Li could not find any information about Galantina's soul no matter how hard he searched. Could it be that only higher-ups knew the details?

It seems that we can only attack people of Kevin, Hao Kun, and Xing Chu's level. Ying Li looked at Galantina and asked:

"How did you get hurt like this? You mentioned Xing Chu from the Beast Sect just now, where is he?"

Galantina replied, "He ran away. How could he possibly beat me? It was an elder of the Conferred God Temple who blew himself up before he died. The old man blew me up completely, not even a scrap of his body was left!"

"Run? No, no one can run away!"

Ying Li took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and used the visual information obtained from the "Dark Vision World" to disperse countless magical powers in all directions.

"Ghosts galore!"

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, his body felt weak, he took Galantina's hand, and the two of them disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a clone who instructed everyone:

"Go back and fight, only attack those who break through."

Everyone exclaimed, what did Ying Li do? Among those present, only Slanda, who had a certain understanding of dark magic, could see that this was a magical skill of changing shape and shadow. He first used the exploration skills to expand his vision, and then projected his clone to the target area. This clone that replaced Ying Li's original body was the clone he exchanged for.

"Who is it?" "Ah!" "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

At the same time, simultaneous exclamations came from the teams hiding deep in the forest. Behind each leader, a fierce clone appeared and made the same throat-slitting motion with a sword.

"Ghost Embers" burst out along the Ghost Eclipse Sword, killing a total of ten commanders on the spot. Only Xing Chu and Hao Kun, who were relatively strong, were not attacked by Ying Li's clone.

The place where Ying Li himself and Galantina fell was exactly the Iron Blood Alliance camp where Kevin was. He wanted to capture the leader first, but he picked the weak one.

"It's you! I was worried that I couldn't find you, and now you dare to trespass into my Iron Blood Alliance camp? Capture them!"

When Kevin saw that it was a familiar face, he immediately stood up, slammed the table and roared. The knights around him rushed towards the two men with swords drawn.

"give it to me!"

Galantina stood up, waving her sharp blade towards everyone. Ying Li flew towards Kevin without saying much, and at the same time controlled "Sky Cinder" to devour the Iron Blood Alliance members with low cultivation in the camp.

Magic power poured into his body like a spring. While fighting with Kevin, Ying Li continued to strengthen himself by absorbing the magic power of others.

Kevin was shocked and angry when he saw this, and he cursed: "You despicable villain! How dare you hurt my colleague and use this method to surpass me, you deserve to die!"

Ying Li just snorted coldly and didn't waste any words with him. His strength kept increasing. With just a broken sword, he defeated the ace mounted archer who was riding a cheetah and holding a scimitar in one hand and a crossbow in the other. The wounds on his body kept increasing, and his magic power was gradually being sucked away by Ying Li.

Although Kevin clearly had a cultivation level close to that of a Ghost King, he was defeated in close combat with Ying Li. Not only could he not keep up with Ying Li in speed, he was also suppressed by Ying Li in a head-on collision.

After a while, Galantina, covered in blood, walked back from outside the camp, with a look of unsatisfied expression on her face. She threw a few heads away and gave Ying Li a thumbs up.

Although Ying Li is not a murderer, the enemies he has identified are definitely worthy of death. This time, he allowed Galantina to kill at will, and those who were detrimental to the demons would be killed one by one.

Then, he suddenly let Kevin, who was about to lose, go. He once again used the Shadow-Shifting Technique to come behind an old man in a green Taoist robe, and even left without taking Galantina with him. At this moment, all of Ying Li's clones suddenly disappeared, and the time for "Ghost Shadow" was up.

"who?"

Feeling the change in Ying Li's aura, the old man who was about to attack took a step back, the sharp sword in his hand emitting fire-attributed magic power. The Taoists in the camp looked at him with a common hatred for the enemy.

It was Hao Kun, the elder of the Fengshen Temple, and his entourage. When he saw Ying Li's face, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Why...why did you come to see me?" Hao Kun pointed at Ying Li and asked in a stern and cowardly manner.

Ying Li went straight to the point and asked him directly: "Have you imprisoned a broken soul, intending to take it to the Soul Pavilion for processing and then use it in your formation?"

"you……"

Hao Kun and a group of elites from the Temple of the Gods were stunned and speechless for a long time. Why did this man know this?

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Fellow Daoists, follow this elder and take him down!"

An elder who met Ying Li for the first time scolded him, obviously thinking that Ying Li knew too much and should be eliminated.

Everyone in the Temple of the Gods entered combat mode one after another, each using different skills to attack Ying Li. The field was instantly illuminated by a variety of skills, making it dazzling.

"too weak!"

Ying Li commented coldly. He clearly felt that these attacks were just for show. He used "Netherworld Nova" again, sucking the attacks into the seemingly insignificant vortex.

Then he flashed to the center of the crowd. Hao Kun mustered up the courage to strike Ying Li on the head with a sword, but only saw the original afterimage. This monster continued to grow stronger during the battle and now surpassed him, the elder.

The black hole exploded in an instant. This move was a way of returning the favor. All the magic powers used to attack Ying Li were returned to their original owners along with the dark flames. The venue was instantly flattened by a circle of rampant black waves.

Except for Elder Hao Kun, all the people in the Temple of the Gods were killed.

Ying Li deliberately used the Nether Flame to protect him. This old man who knew the past should know many things that Ying Li didn't know, but pushing too hard at this time would only backfire. Ying Li was well aware of the principle of boiling a frog in warm water.

"You're the one causing trouble?"

A loud shout was heard, and disciples of the Hundred Beasts Sect wearing white robes with animal patterns came over upon hearing the news. The leader was none other than Xing Chu, who was at the peak of the Demon General realm, and the rest of the disciples were at least at the middle stage of the Immortal Soldier realm.

The forest gradually became lively. Several nearby troops, even without their leaders, carried their flags and rushed over, vowing to avenge their superiors.

"So what? You and I are on opposite sides, so it is reasonable for me to kill your people." Faced with more and more enemies, Ying Li was not afraid and admitted what he had done in public.

"Asshole!" "How dare you kill my brother, you devil!" "Fellow Daoists, we can't let him go!"

For a moment, the scene was bustling with excitement. They were originally planning to attack the rear of the Ghost Alliance army together, but unexpectedly, a demon who could kill people without being seen suddenly appeared and killed ten commanders with one move.

"Damn you, you ran so fast, I almost killed us all!" Suddenly, a loud voice sounded from the back of the crowd, followed by bursts of screams from the crowd. A blood-red figure rushed forward, and everyone was caught off guard and killed without a trace.

It was Galanthina. When she saw the surging crowd, she immediately became murderous and rushed into the crowd without restraint to kill. These low-level demon controllers were no match for her, who was in the early stage of the Ghost King realm. Their resistance was not even worthy of a tickle to Galanthina.

"I'm sorry! Time is limited in Ghost, and I didn't have time to bring you along."

As Ying Li spoke, he also took action and rushed towards the nearest crowd. The broken sword caused dark flames to fly all over the sky. Wherever the purple sword light passed, there was dark flames like bone-eating maggots that burned and devoured everything in its path.

At the same time, several masters who had fought with Ying Li before returned to the army formation and defeated the invading enemies one by one, but still did not attack the Soul Pavilion. The tense atmosphere continued to heat up inside the Soul Pavilion.

Ying Li had already climbed to the second level of demon general by relying on the magic power he absorbed. At this level, the power of "Sky Embers" was even greater, instantly blocking the enemy's retreat. At the same time, huge fireballs were accurately thrown at the elite disciples with the highest cultivation level, and their bodies were instantly destroyed.

The purple sea of ​​fire in the forest annihilated everything. Seeing the bad situation, many soldiers who came to seek revenge on Ying Li abandoned their weapons and fled. No one was willing to die for the Iron Blood Alliance.

"Damn it! You bunch of cowards, come back and fight for me! Ying Li, you kid... you are so cruel!"

Seeing that his side was becoming increasingly weaker and his comrades around him were either dying or fleeing, Xing Chu could no longer stand it. He shamelessly acted like a coward and turned into a ball of flesh that soared into the sky.

Galanthena wanted to chase after him with great interest, but unexpectedly, Xing Chu, who had turned into a meat ball, had a hard bristle on his back, and arrows sprayed towards Galanthe like rain.

"Ugh?!"

Galantina cried out in surprise, and quickly pulled the chain blade to form a shield in front of her. The bristles shot at her weapon, making her feel as heavy as a mountain, and even she, a ghost king, felt the pressure.

When Mo Cha led the main force of the Iron Blood Alliance to the Death Swamp, they saw only a despairing sea of ​​fire that had burned the forest and the original camp to ashes. Kevin and Hao Kun lost contact, and Xing Chu just left a sentence "It's too dangerous, I don't want to play anymore" and slipped away.

Looking at the endless sea of ​​fire and listening to the sounds of battle far away in the east, Mo Cha knew that she could not procrastinate any longer. She sighed and gave the order:

"Everyone, set up a barrier outside the Death Swamp and don't let anyone who crosses the boundary go!" After saying that, she rushed into the sky alone and headed straight for the Soul Pavilion headquarters.
