Weird: Run away, he has conceptual-level abilities!

#622 - Yama Ten Palaces

Ghostly Soul Mountain Range.

Jiang Ming's appearance attracted the attention of all the ghosts involved in the surrounding area. Among these gazes were greed, restraint, and eagerness, but no fear.

They surrounded him silently.

Each displaying their unique abilities.

Some spread black array patterns beneath their feet, setting up high-quality arrays capable of sealing space.

Some drove small flying ghost beasts to roam the sky, monitoring the surrounding movements.

Still others used divine abilities to merge with the environment, waiting for an opportunity.

Clearly.

This group of participating ghosts were all waiting for the right moment.

Once they struck, it would be a thunderous blow, giving no chance for reaction.

......

At the same time.

Jiang Ming, as the central figure of the event, was still studying the desolate tower in his hand.

[Item: Cursed Desolate Tower.]

[Rank: Top Grade Third Order.]

[Functions: Defense/Support/Offense.]

[Ability 1: Absolute Defense (Attacks below the Ghost Emperor level cannot shake the tower body).]

[Ability 2: Resistance Aura (Binds to this Yin artifact, automatically generates seven layers of protection, which can resist all types of attacks and reflect them back to the attacker).]

[Ability 3: Magic-Sealing Domain (Within a ten-thousand-mile radius of the Cursed Desolate Tower, the "Seal" curse can be activated, sealing all Yin power, mental power, and divine abilities for 30 minutes).]

[Ability 4: Curse Light (Can activate the seven layers of curses of the Cursed Desolate Tower, each layer releasing a different type of curse power, up to seven curses can be stacked simultaneously).]

[Note: The finest masterpiece of the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor, one of the former Ten Great Ghost Emperors, has the potential to become a divine-grade Yin artifact. It was the most precious legacy that the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor was unwilling to leave to his successors even when he was brought into his coffin, but unfortunately...he didn't know he would encounter a cheat/shrugs.]

Looking at the content displayed on the fluorescent gray panel, Jiang Ming marveled.

Top grade third order, this was definitely the highest quality Yin artifact he had ever encountered. It not only simultaneously took into account the three properties of defense, support, and attack, but also had four very heaven-defying abilities.

The first two abilities were defensive skills, attacks below the Ghost Emperor level could not break his defense, and there were also seven defensive attacks to reflect the enemy.

Survival ability was directly maxed out.

The third ability need not be said, it was the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor's specialty, and also the main reason why the Ghostly Soul Mountain Range was called a forbidden area.

Once the Magic-Sealing Domain was opened, regardless of whether it was a Calamity-level ghost god or a Pseudo-Emperor-level ghost god, their strength would directly drop by 90%.

More importantly, the Magic-Sealing Domain was controllable.

In other words.

He could specifically seal the enemy's abilities, keeping his own side in full bloom.

What was the concept of this?

It could be said that with this ability, any ordinary Nightmare-level ghost god could destroy a "Palace"-level force.

It was a god-level skill for both invincible solo battles and team battles.

The last type was an offensive skill, simultaneously applying up to seven types of curse power to the enemy unit, restricting them in terms of ghost realm, flesh, lifespan, soul, and thought.

And.

Ability three's "Magic-Sealing Domain" could also cooperate with ability four's "Curse Light", stacking them on top of each other, the enemy's strength would be instantly reduced to a muggle, and their combat power would not be able to exert even 1%.

Jiang Ming felt a burst of emotion.

As expected of the former legendary Ghost Emperor, his foundation was terrifying.

He himself already possessed various types of curses, which could kill ghosts invisibly, his defensive ability was also directly maxed out, and he could also strengthen himself by absorbing the cultivation achievements of other ghosts. He could not be killed, could not be defeated, and could not escape.

The fact that the Eight Great Ghost Gods and many surviving ghosts were able to kill this legendary Ghost Emperor was really taking advantage of the other party's old age and weakness.

While thinking.

Jiang Ming retracted his gaze.

Stepping out of the Ghostly Soul Mountain Range, he immediately noticed the malice pouring in from all directions.

His eyes swept over.

He saw dozens of ghost shadows gathered on the periphery of the Ghostly Soul Mountain Range.

Strangely shaped.

None of their Yin power fluctuations were below the ghost god level.

The highest had already reached the Calamity level, it was an old ghost whose wood was about to decay, his body was soft and limp, as if it had no bone support, and he could only stand up by holding a cane made of spine.

The other party's Yin power was higher than that of the heroic female ghost, and was already infinitely close to the peak of the third-order ghost god, only a step away from entering the fourth-order Pseudo-Emperor-level ghost god level.

Jiang Ming frowned slightly.

It wasn't because he was being targeted, but because he found that the team he had left behind was gone.

The Palace Master of the Myriad Beasts Palace also noticed this and his face changed.

"Young Master, could it be that they were..."

Among the team left behind in the Ghostly Soul Mountain Range were not only ghost god level elders from the Yin Fiend Palace, but also a group of elites from his Myriad Beasts Palace. Now that they were all gone, he could only think of one possibility, and that was that they were all dead.

Things were serious.

The Palace Master of the Myriad Beasts Palace thought so.

He subconsciously looked at Jiang Ming.

The six Palace Masters of the Shadow Palace also looked at Jiang Ming with concern.

No other reason.

There was a crucial existence in this team left behind.

That was the Scarlet Queen.

That was their nominal "stepmother".

They couldn't ignore it, and their biological father couldn't ignore it either.

Jiang Ming did not speak.

He just refocused his attention on the group of participating ghosts who were eyeing him covetously, his gaze especially falling on the spinal old ghost with the highest rank in the entire field.

A moment.

He said faintly: "Does anyone know where a bone boat team left behind here has gone?"

He was skeptical of the Palace Master of the Myriad Beasts Palace's guess.

After all.

The scene was too clean.

It was so clean that there were no traces of fighting.

This was obviously abnormal.

Even if this group of participating ghosts launched an attack together, it was impossible to kill the Yin Fiend Palace and the elite forces of the Myriad Beasts Palace without any fighting.

Calamity-level ghost gods could not achieve this effect either.

Because of this.

He could only think of two possibilities.

First, his team acted without authorization and left here.

Second, they were forcibly taken away.

The first possibility was very low, or rather, zero.

Because the order he gave was to stay behind.

Unless he issued another order, his subordinates, who had their common sense changed by the cheat [Yuanfang, what do you think?] and the cheat [The King Cannot Be Humiliated], would not act without authorization.

In other words.

The disappearance of the Scarlet Queen and the rest of the ghosts could only be that they were forcibly taken away.

And the enemy's strength exceeded them by several levels, suspected of possessing a divine kingdom, so that they could take away all his thousands of subordinates without any traces of fighting.

Pseudo-Emperor level? Or even a Ghost Emperor?

Jiang Ming's eyes flickered.

He had some ideas in his mind.

This matter may be related to the Scarlet Queen's special ghost species talent.

Apart from that, there was nothing else worthy of coveting in his pieced-together team.

While thinking.

The spinal old ghost stood up and made a soft, strange sound.

"Junior, now is not the time for you to ask questions. Even if you want to ask, it should be us asking you."

"I ask you, is the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor's inheritance in your hands?"

Jiang Ming glanced at the other party sideways.

"So what if it is?"

Hearing this.

The ghosts were shocked.

Extreme joy appeared on their ghost faces.

He admitted it.

This man actually admitted that he had the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor's inheritance in his hands.

While they were confused, their greed reached its peak at this moment.

Some participating ghosts who couldn't restrain their excitement stepped forward, breathing rapidly: "Junior, hand over the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor's inheritance to me, and I can save your life."

"Bullshit, who do you think you are? I am a Calamity-level ghost god and also the leader of a ghost god-level force. The Ghost Emperor's inheritance should be handed over to me."

"Who dares to compete with me? I am a ghost from the Ghostly Soul Hall. My ancestors can be traced back to the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor's era. I have a close relationship with this legendary Ghost Emperor. Handing over the Ghost Emperor's inheritance to us can be considered returning it to its original owner."

The ghosts began to compete.

Not giving an inch.

They were arguing red-faced and had a real fire between them, with a tendency to fight first and then decide who the Ghost Emperor's inheritance belonged to.

"Everyone, don't fall for it. He just wants to use this contradiction to make us fight so that he can reap the benefits."

Just then.

The spinal old ghost seemed to see through Jiang Ming's trick and knocked his bone staff heavily.

"I belong to the Ten Halls of Yama and am a ghost of Lord Reincarnation King. My words should still carry some weight."

As soon as these words came out, the many participating ghosts who were originally arguing fiercely stopped.

Each of them looked at the spinal old ghost with astonished eyes.

As natives of the Underworld Empire, they knew too well what the so-called Ten Halls of Yama meant.

That was the institution that symbolized the upper echelons of power in the Underworld Empire.

There were ten in total.

Known as the Ten Halls of Yama.

The controllers of the Ten Halls of Yama were all descendants of the Underworld Emperor's bloodline.

This seemingly decaying old ghost was actually related to the Reincarnation King of the Tenth Hall of Yama.

This news really shocked them.

It also made them hesitate.

Because once they clashed with the Ten Halls of Yama, even if they snatched the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor's inheritance, it would be impossible for them to transform the inheritance into strength under the Reincarnation King's pursuit.

In other words.

When the spinal old ghost revealed the Reincarnation King's name, they lost the opportunity to compete for the Ghost Emperor's inheritance.

Thinking of this.

The faces of many surviving ghosts were gloomy and uncertain.

Their hearts were entangled.

Seeing this situation.

The spinal old ghost was very satisfied and said in a soft voice: "Everyone, don't worry, Lord Reincarnation King is not very interested in the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor's inheritance. As long as everyone helps me take down this inheritance today, I will definitely not embezzle it and will share it with everyone. If you perform well, I will also say a few good words for you in front of Lord Reincarnation King and let you gain the appreciation of Lord Reincarnation King and rise to prominence from then on."

Hearing this.

The ghosts were moved.

Not only could they consult the Ghost Emperor's inheritance, but they also had the opportunity to enter the Ten Halls of Yama, step onto the upper echelons of power, and get involved with the Reincarnation King. This kind of good thing was rare to see in a thousand years.

Their hearts were stirred.

So.

They responded one after another.

"Okay, what Brother Spinal said is right. We must not fall for this cunning junior's trick and kill each other. We will join forces today and make him spit out the Ghostly Soul Ghost Emperor's inheritance."

"That's right, the supreme inheritance belongs to the strong."

"This opportunity should belong to us."

For a time.

Many participating ghosts put aside their previous grudges and began to unite.

They wanted to deal with Jiang Ming together and take down the Ghost Emperor's inheritance.

......

Looking at this scene.

The faces of the Eight Great Ghost Gods changed again and again.

Their brows were tightly furrowed.

They originally thought that they were just a group of ghost gods with some strength, but they didn't expect that there was also a ghost from the Reincarnation King's Hall among them.

As the leaders of ghost god-level forces in the Underworld Empire, they clearly knew how huge the Ten Halls of Yama were and what kind of amazing power they possessed.

It could be said that the power of the Ten Halls of Yama combined was enough to be comparable to the Underworld Emperor.

Once they offended such a force, there would be no place for them in the entire Pure Land world.

Unless they let other forces that could compete with the Ten Halls of Yama come forward to support them.

For example...

The Void Heaven Hall.

The heroic female ghost obviously understood this as well.

She frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Ming, and opened her red lips slightly: "Junior Brother, do you need me to come forward? Although the strength of the Reincarnation King's Hall cannot be underestimated, our Void Heaven Hall is not afraid. Even if the Reincarnation King comes in person, he can't take anything from you."

Jiang Ming waved his hand.

His expression was extremely calm.

"No need, he doesn't have that much face to make me back down with just a name."

He also knew some bits and pieces of information about the Ten Halls of Yama.

Especially in the last few seconds before the settlement of the previous copy "Netherworld Gate", he had activated the cheat [Magical Conch Girl] to let the Conch Girl open the Abyss of Heaven, advancing the opening time of the Abyss of Heaven by several years. At that time, the Pure Land reminded him that a Yama King-level figure would come here in person to investigate the truth of the early opening of the Abyss of Heaven.

Presumably, the Yama King that the Pure Land was talking about was this Lord of the Ten Halls, the Reincarnation King.

The Ten Yama Kings, the Underworld Emperor's ten bloodline descendants...

Jiang Ming's eyes moved slightly.

A few intentions flashed in his eyes.

Especially with the premise that his new cheat [Peak Experience Card] could restore some cheats to the test server version, he had some bold ideas.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Ming retracted his thoughts.

He raised his eyes and stared at the spinal old ghost who had shocked the scene with a few words.

"Have you finished talking? My patience is limited. Tell me if you know about the Yin Fiend Palace and Myriad Beasts Palace members left behind here."

Hearing this.

A Nightmare-level ghost god couldn't help but speak.

He mocked: "You are already about to die and you are still worried about others. You might as well worry about how you will die later."

Jiang Ming glanced at him.

"You talk too much nonsense, then you die first."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The continuously enhanced level 10 skill [Mental Shock] was activated.

Invisible ripples spread and pounced fiercely.

Plop.

With a heavy thud, the light in this Nightmare-level ghost god's eyes completely dissipated and he fell to the ground, never moving again.

The many participating ghosts were shocked.

Their ghost pupils shrank sharply.
