“Is something coming?”

Hearing the strange sound, the ten people who had just sat down immediately became nervous and vigilant. The sound was getting closer and closer, becoming denser and denser. In the end, it made their scalps go numb.

Finally, under the dim light, some unknown “dead creatures” surged up. They were densely packed like tides, and their numbers were unfathomably large.

“It’s the Ghost Trident … quickly form an array to block it!”

Wuchang Daojun’s expression changed. When the others saw the dead creatures surge up, they immediately gathered in a circle. Daoist Gui shouted, “Little friend, come here!”

Xiao Chen immediately pulled Luo Die and rushed into the circle. Everyone activated their techniques at the same time. In an instant, they formed an array formation. A golden barrier of light formed outside the array formation, blocking all the dead creatures that surged in like a tidal wave.

“Rustle rustle rustle …”

The sound was still continuous. Countless dead creatures surged forward and continuously collided with the spirit formation. Some of them touched the curse mark on the spirit formation and were burned to ashes. Although the spirit formation was powerful, it was still not enough to repel these incomparably large amounts of dead creatures.

“What … what exactly is this …”

Luo Die’s face was deathly pale. Seeing that countless corpses of these dead creatures had already piled up outside, and there were even more dead creatures surging up from afar, she felt a little creepy behind her back.

“It’s a ghost beast …”

Wuchang Daojun slowly calmed down. He looked at the dead creatures that surged up like the tide and slowly said, “They are very large. If there is no array formation to stop them, they can disappear into thin air and dive into the body of a human. Then, they can slowly devour the host and control its behavior …”

After hearing what he said, Luo Die shivered again. She looked at the numbing army of ghosts outside and subconsciously leaned against Xiao Chen, tightly pulling his arm.

“It doesn’t matter. The formation should be able to withstand for a day and recover first.”

Wuchang Daojun sat down. He placed his hands on his knees and closed his eyes. The rest of them slowly regained their senses and ignored the ghosts outside. They all sat down quietly and resumed their cultivation.

“Rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle”

The army of ghosts continued to gather outside, constantly colliding with the formation. They saw corpses accumulating within a few zhang of the formation. It was hard to imagine just how large the number of ghosts was.

Xiao Chen slowly sat down and ignored the ghosts outside. He calmly circulated his cultivation and waited for the ten Soul Formation cultivators to recover. He didn’t know which part of the Sea of Death he had been sent to, nor how dangerous the road ahead would be.

The Sea of Death was not a sea of true meaning, but a vast and boundless land of dead silence. It was even more lifeless and dangerous than the Terminator Domain outside. If one didn’t pay attention, they would die inside.

In the past, there were many people in Tomb of Gods and Demons who wanted to go to the forbidden region to search for those ancient lost techniques and magic treasures, but they often died in this Sea of Death.

One day had passed, and the spirit formation had gradually cracked. However, the ghost army outside still hadn’t retreated. Instead, it was getting denser and more ferocious.

The ten Soul Formation cultivators had almost recovered, but looking at the dense crowd of ghosts outside, they couldn’t help but feel their scalps go numb.

“These dead creatures refuse to retreat. What should we do now?”

Pili Zidian looked at the ghost beast that was crashing into the formation one after another. His fingers were getting tighter and tighter. Ten Soul Formation experts whose cultivation had already reached the Impassable Realm were actually trapped here today.

It wasn’t just how powerful these ghost beasts were, but that their numbers were enormous. Once there was no obstruction, they would be able to “invisible” and transform into tiny objects that even their divine sense couldn’t detect. They would invade a person’s body and then be even more powerful than poison. In an instant, they would be able to spread to all of his hundred meridians.

“The formation won’t last long. We have to leave this place …”

Daoist Gui’s eyebrows furrowed. As he spoke, he swept through the dust and slowly condensed a layer of protective true essence around his body.

“Do you want to barge out?”

Ji Wuyan and the others looked at him. Daoist Gui stared at the army of ghosts outside and nodded slightly, “Once these dead creatures gather more, it will be harder to break out of the encirclement.”

“Alright.”

Wuchang Daojun also looked over. Although he knew how terrifying these ghosts were, it was precisely because of this that he had no choice but to make a prompt decision. Once more ghosts appeared behind him, it would be even harder to break out of the encirclement.

“Little friend Wu Chen, are you ready?”

Daoist Gui looked at Xiao Chen again. The ten Soul Formation cultivators here didn’t dare to let down their guard. He was naturally worried that Xiao Chen would be able to deal with these dead creatures calmly. After all, if they were to encounter Gas of Gods and Demons in the future, they would all have to rely on this young man.

“Don’t worry.”

Xiao Chen glanced at him and whispered to Luo Die behind him, “Follow me closely later.”

Luo Die nodded and looked at the tide-like army of ghosts outside. She felt her entire body go cold and numb.

“Prepare to activate the formation … Charge!”

Wuchang Daojun shouted and immediately opened the formation. Everyone immediately rushed out. When the ghosts saw the formation open, they overwhelmed the sky and the earth. It was like a black mist that swept up dead objects. The scene was extremely terrifying.

Wuchang Daojun and Daoist Gui rushed to the front, the Underworld Fire Evil God and Thunderbolt Violet Lightning guarding the left and right, Ji Wuyan and Hantian Gu following closely behind, the Mysterious Fire Sect Master and Unmelted Bone responding to the ghost beetles, Daoist Blood Drinker and Ku Chanzi rushing up from behind were the closest to Xiao Chen.

“Amitabha …”

Ku Chanzi chanted the Buddhist title and formed a seal with one hand. A blood-colored “Swastika” seal flew out, instantly blasting a large area of ghost beetles to ashes.

“Follow me closely!”

Xiao Chen forcefully pulled the Fallen Butterfly, and with his two fingers, he instantly formed a Heart Execution Flame that surrounded the two of them, in order to resist the overwhelming surge of ghosts from the surroundings.

The ghosts disappeared out of thin air, wanting to drill into everyone’s bodies. However, when they approached everyone, they were immediately burned to ashes by the protective true essence outside their bodies, appearing.

“Quick!”

Seeing the ghost army chasing after them from all directions, the dead creatures in the forbidden area were countless times more terrifying than the creatures outside. Everyone didn’t dare to let down their guard and had to keep rushing forward. This path was truly frightening. If the ghost army drowned them, the consequences could be imagined.

“Rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle”

The ghost army was still pouring in. It was unknown how far they had escaped along the way. After about a day and night, everyone fled the ghost region. The ghost army behind them slowly retreated back like the ebb tide, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

“These dead creatures … have finally retreated.”

After running for a day and night, everyone was in a sorry state. Luo Die was still in a state of shock. Looking at the lifeless region, her face was pale. Those ghosts were still chasing after her, but in the blink of an eye, they retreated. It seemed strange again.

“Wait …”

Daoist Gui’s expression became serious. He looked around and whispered, “Where … have we come from?”
