Chapter 308: Ghost Transformation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The moment the Northern Region fell, the Divine realm experts of the major forces in the Western Zone began to return to their respective regions.

The Great Daoyuan calamity had arrived.

Were those strange lights in the Desolate Ancient Zone and those precious treasures also the beginning of the Great Daoyuan calamity?

Ren Changhe still had not fully covered the outer area of the Desolate Ancient Zone.

Chu Xuan could not help but sigh. The Desolate Ancient Zone was so vast and had so many secret places.

!!

After the blood fiend race occupied the Northern Region of the Western Zone, they did not continue their invasion. It seemed like they had entered a period of rest.

This also gave the Western Zone’s cultivators a chance to catch their breath.

The warriors of the Southern Region of the Western Zone had solemn expressions. They paid more and more attention to the blood fiend race that was sealed inside the ancient battlefield, setting up even more layers of formations.

A newly-developed purification formation had also been set up to try to purify the blood-colored spiritual energy.

“Your disciple, Ding Yue, has broken through to the Heaven realm. You have been rewarded with a lump of chaotic energy.”

Chu Xuan continued to cultivate.

As the amount of chaotic energy he had increased,, the speed at which his Dao principles were refined increased.

Now that he had reached the tenth level of the Dao realm, he was only twenty-six levels away from reaching the Daoyuan realm, after which he would have the confidence to bypass the Great Daoyuan calamity, and withstand the subsequent Great Dao calamity.

The Northern Region of the Western Zone.

The whole region was filled with faint blood-colored spiritual energy.

The plants were affected by the blood-colored spiritual energy, and some changes occurred. Faint blood-red lines appeared on the edge of the leaves.

The Northern Region had fallen, and countless human cultivators had fallen. However, many of them had escaped with their souls, whether whole or in part.

As their bodies had been destroyed, and only their souls were left, they had no hope of recovering.

They had to take possession of the body or find a way to reincarnate.

It was not easy to condense a physical body. It required a lot of resources, as well as an opportunity.

These souls were wandering or hiding in the Northern Region.

The blood fiends were not interested in souls, which was why these cultivators had escaped, and why these souls remained in the Northern Region.

The blood-colored spiritual energy in the Northern Region was plentiful. They believed that it would give birth to spiritual medicines that might allow them to restore their bodies.

Some were even looking for a possibility to possess the blood fiends, or refine the blood fiends to restore their bodies.

The bodies of blood fiends were very powerful and special, which tempted them.

A white-haired, long-bearded elder appeared in the Northern Region like an illusion. He was shocked when he saw the state of the Northern Region and the retreat of the human race, which used to be the dominant race.

The elder was not a divine soul, but he had an illusory body.

Netherworld race!

A gloomy figure suddenly appeared and blocked the elder.

Ghost King Fengdu!

“Become a member of our ghost race. Now, you’re the only one left from the Netherworld race. Can you make the Netherworld race stronger?”

Ghost King Fengdu glanced at the Northern Region and said, “You’ve seen it too. The Great Daoyuan calamity has already started. If the human race is like this, how can the Netherworld race survive the Great Calamity?”

“Only by turning into ghosts can we find a path to survival!”

The elder of the Netherworld race was momentarily confused. After a long while, he smiled sadly and said, “Maybe you’re right. The Netherworld race has run out of luck.”

He looked up at the sky and sighed. “Then, I’ll turn into a ghost.”

Ghost King Fengdu waved his hand and pulled the old man into the Fengdu Mystic Realm. The old man did not resist. He was willing to turn into a ghost.

The last of the Netherworld race was finally going to turn into a ghost.

From now on, the ghost race would bear the fate of the Netherworld race.

Moreover, in the Great Daoyuan calamity, they would fight for the fate of the ghost race.

The ghost race would become the terrifying race in the nine zones!

Suddenly, Ghost King Fengdu’s expression changed as he looked in a certain direction.

His figure turned illusory and disappeared on the spot.

On a desolate mountain, a few human divine souls were gathered together. On the ground in front of them was an Emperor realm blood fiend.

The few human divine souls were all Heaven realm experts. Their bodies had been destroyed, and their divine souls had luckily escaped.

“Let’s give it a try. If we succeed, there might be a way out,” one of them gritted his teeth and said.

“Cowards, let me do it!”

One of the souls raised his hand, and his spiritual power surged, and the fire of his divine soul started to burn the blood fiend.

The Emperor realm blood fiend naturally could not resist the refinining of a Heaven realm divine soul. Soon, it was refined into a ball of blood-colored spiritual energy.

“The baleful aura is too heavy. We must purify it,” another soul spoke.

After that, he took out a pearl and threw it into the blood-colored spiritual energy.

Chi chi!

The blood-colored spiritual energy ball emitted chi chi sounds as waves of the gloomy baleful aura rippled.

After a long while, the baleful aura of the blood-colored spiritual energy ball was purified.

The pearl had also shrunk by a third.

The divine soul had a pained expression on his face.

“The consumption of the purification process is too great. We will have to find a more efficient purification method.”

The divine soul holding the blood-colored spiritual energy ball started to absorb the energy into his divine soul.

“Keep an eye on me. We have to act in time.”

“Don’t worry, we’re watching.”

The others all had solemn expressions.

Whether or not they could refine the body of the blood fiend and restore their bodies depended on this.

After the blood-colored energy was absorbed into his divine soul, wisps of flesh and blood started to appear around the divine soul.

Everyone was happy.

This method was feasible!

Then, not long after, the divine soul, which had just recovered less than one-tenth of his body, suddenly screamed.

“Something’s wrong. It’s corroding my divine soul.”

The divine soul’s fire burned, trying to burn the body condensed by the blood-colored spiritual energy.

However, the divine soul’s fire was ineffective, and even showed signs of weakening.

The others took action one after another. In the end, they could not peel off the new flesh and blood. The divine soul was getting weaker and weaker, and the corrosion was worsening.

In the end, he had to cut off the part of the divine soul that was attached to the flesh and blood!

As a result, the divine soul of that expert was severely wounded!

The part of the divine soul that was attached to the flesh and blood kept making sizzling sounds. It continued corroding, and smoke was rising from it.

In the end, it disappeared.

After the blood-colored spiritual energy corroded the divine soul, it turned into a wisp and disappeared.

The group of human experts fell silent.

It was not feasible to refine the body of the blood fiend to restore the body. It also meant that they could only live on in their divine soul state.

One day, their divine souls would be destroyed.

They could foresee their tragic future. In this catastrophe, their divine souls were very vulnerable.
