Celestial Emperor 2
Ch. 596 - The Ghosts Escape!
While witnessing this, Qin Shan laughed and he naturally would not let go of those ghosts just like that. He flew away very quickly and managed to grab one of the ghosts to be devoured by the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods.
A terrifying-looking black tendril began to wrapped around the invisible ghost then immediately ate it voraciously. This incident took place in just less than three breaths, yet it was enough to make the other ghosts even more frightened.
Qin Shan of course did not stop there, he continued to chase the remaining ghosts to give to the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods. Right now, that magical treasure required so many souls to be able to recover, ten thousand ghosts would probably not be enough for him.
Some time had passed and Qin Shan continued to send out the tendrils of the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods to prey on the Forgotten Souls encountered along the way. A deafening shrill voice continued to be heard all over the island for days without stopping.
On the other hand, Ji Zhufei, Wu Baoji, Yu Qingzun, and all the other Qin Shan followers on Lotus Island could only appear flat faces and occasionally laugh briefly.
This master of theirs is truly a terrible person... One should be afraid of the ghosts in this place, but right now it is the ghosts that are being frightened of Qin Shan!
“Since obtaining the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods, our Master has started to become insane. Listen to the sound of his scary laughter, I think he is enjoying his hunt here.” Ji Zhufei said with a flat expression, then he laughed.
“Sial... I used to almost die in this place. But this guy's having fun, I don't think there's anything crazier than him.” Wu Baoji felt frustrated in his heart.
Ji Zhufei also at first did not expect that the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods could make the Forgotten Souls become so frightened. Even the previous owners of this magical treasure did not know the other side of the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods. Had Xi Haijun known this truth, he might have vomited blood.
Although the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods were the only things that could overcome Forgotten Souls in this place, Qin Shan would not use them too often. After all, these magical treasures ate up too much Elemental Energy.
After a week had passed since the ghost hunt, Qin Shan chose to pause and return to recovering his energy. Now he was not too worried about the ghosts that would come to attack him, because the ghosts would not dare to do so.
What Qin Shan thought was indeed true. As he spread his Spiritual Will to inspect the surrounding area, he could see several ghosts watching him from afar while hiding. They did not dare to get too close to him.
Watching this made Qin Shan laugh inwardly. “If this continues, then ten years of living peaceful days in this place will be an easy test.”
At least that was what Qin Shan had thought before everything changed three months later.
An extremely powerful Forgotten Soul suddenly came out from within the jug at the top of the mountain and let out a terrifying howl. This Forgotten Soul had a more real form and might be touchable, yet this ghost was extremely large and looked terrifying.
The ghost that was as strong as a level 9 Immortal Venerable had three heads and six arms. He had a black scaly body and a tail hundreds of meters long. In each of his hands was a thorny truncheon that exuded an aura of boundless death. As soon as this ghost came out, all the little ghosts who were nearby immediately ran away in fear.
In his hiding place, Qin Shan was able to sense an extremely powerful ghost through his Spiritual Will. He becomes even more shocked when he learns there are three ghosts that are exactly the same. Apparently, the three giant ghosts are looking for his whereabouts now.
“Damn it, why didn't I know there was something like this on the third exam island?” inner Qin Shan while clucking in annoyance. He asked Ji Zhufei to explain the current situation, but the man also knew nothing about the three-headed, six-armed ghost. This made Qin Shan even more wary and chose not to interact with those giant ghosts for a period of time.
Because Qin Shan's hiding and escape abilities are so high, he can avoid the ghosts for more than two weeks without being seen. During that time as well, the giant phantom had grown to seven that there were originally only three.
From here on began an uneasy feeling to grow in Qin Shan's heart. It seemed, as time went on there would be new powerful ghosts constantly being born.
Actually, the ghosts on the island did not increase at all. Their number will never exceed one hundred thousand even if the jug on the top of the mountain is left open for a thousand years. The reason why more powerful ghosts appeared was due to the embodiment of elemental energy that had been contaminated by evil spirits in the place. As time went on, that amount of contaminated elemental energy would be enough to give birth to an extremely powerful ferocious monster.
Just as Qin Shan was still feeling frustrated, a smooth shrill voice sounded from a distance. Qin Shan swept his gaze forward, yet there was nothing. However, after he sent out his Spiritual Will, he could see a vengeful ghost peering at him from a distance.
“Basic b*small bastard, you scared me.” Qin Shan was irritated and he started sending some Hungry Spirit Killing Gods tendrils towards the vengeful ghosts in the distance.
The ghost is not very clear in shape and only looks like a child carrying a doll. The child's face was shattered and his entire body was covered in burns. His death in the past must have been so painful and tragic that he managed to become a terrifying Vengeful Ghost.
From the beginning Qin Shan knew that this ghost was as powerful as the Late Venerable Immortal, which was why he wanted to test how powerful this ghost was to survive the Hungry Spirit Killing Gods.
The terrifying-looking tendrils that came out from the golden pagoda started to wrapped around the Revenge-filled Ghost, then started to devour his soul slowly. But something surprising happened afterwards.
*bomm!!* The explosion from the Elemental Energy reaction is formed, the vines tendrils of those Hungry Spirit Killing Gods instantly turn into ash. Meanwhile, the previous Revengeful Ghost had disappeared the moment the explosion occurred.
Qin Shan who witnessed all this from afar could only be dumbfounded and opened his mouth wide. This ghost is so strong!
“What kind of Forgotten Soul is that? Even I have never met a figure as strong as her after entering this place.” Qin Shan muttered and his heart was engulfed by boundless unease. This place was too mysterious and dangerous, now he could only hope that the Vengeful Ghosts would never appear in large numbers before him.
Meanwhile inside the Lotus Island World, the Qin Shan's followers looked extremely shocked and frightened. They seemed to know what kind of creature the Revengeful Ghost Qin Shan had met just now.
Qin Shan of course realized their shock and asked Ji Zhufei what the figure of the Revengeful Ghost looked like.
“The Ghost Full of Revenge is the strongest creature that inhabited this place for countless years. The Grudging Ghosts were also the higher-ups of the Forgotten Souls in this place. Legend has it that there are nine vengeful Ghosts that rule this place. Based on my knowledge, the Revengeful Ghost you just met is ranked ninth.” explained Ji Zhufei while stroking his chin.
In addition, Ji Zhufei also added that there was very little chance that the Revengeful Ghosts would appear unless someone with a huge sin entered this place.
