Killing God - Chapter 238
Chapter 238 Giant Dragon True Blood
When Shen Shi saw the ten thousand ghosts outside the cave howling with green light like a sea of phosphorescence flames, it was almost self-evident how powerful the ghost was. When he turned his gaze to the old man in front of him, who looked extremely weak and withered, his eyes also revealed a look of reverence.
From the conversation between the skeleton and the old man, he had already guessed that the old man’s identity was probably the Primordial Yin Dragon that had been suppressed here countless years ago. However, the truth of the matter seemed to have other secrets. At the very least, the mysterious skeleton had never been known.
Looking at the might of the skeleton, and thinking about how powerful the ancient dragon was when the ghost was suppressed by the old man in front of him at its peak, how powerful would it be?
Therefore, he did not dare to act disrespectfully in front of the old man. He walked up to him, knelt on the ground beside him, and whispered, “Senior, tell me.”
After saying this, Shen Shi’s heart suddenly stirred. At this moment, he was already very close to the old man, but strangely, he did not feel any human vitality. He breathed heavily and did not feel anything. It was as if the person sitting in front of him was already a dead person.
However, this old man was clearly still alive. He glanced at Shen Shi and said, “Do you know the origin of that ghost just now?”
Shen Shi shook his head and said honestly, “I don’t know.”
The old man smiled and looked a little tired. He said, “It was originally a vicious ghost in the Ghost Realm of the past. Occasionally, it would condense the essence of the Ghost Realm into the Dark Fiend Soul Crystal. Thus, it would activate its intelligence, cultivate the supreme divine ability of the Ghost Dao, control millions of ghosts, and commit monstrous sins.”
Shen Shi subconsciously turned his head to look at the light figure on the stone wall. He saw that the skeleton figure was still stepping towards the peak of Lonely Peak. The ghosts shouted and the phosphorescence flames howled. The ferocity and grandeur of the aura was truly the only thing he had ever seen in his life, causing his bones to stand on end. At the same time, the old man’s voice continued in his ears. His tone was calm and steady as he said,
“Later on, it did too many evil deeds. With the Heavenly Dry Heavens and the Heavenly Descent of our Dragon Clan’s divine oracle, I used the might of the divine artifact to subdue it and suppress it in this Soul Suppressing Abyss. However, this ghost was a ghost spirit, “It’s almost immortal. Back then, the only thing you could do was to suppress it. Then, use the Immortal Energy of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword to wipe away its spiritual wisdom bit by bit. In the end, it would naturally turn into dust. Unfortunately …” He smiled bitterly and shook his head. “You probably heard about what happened just now. In short, apart from mistakes, it turned into this situation today.”
Shen Shi naturally knew what this so-called mistake was. He couldn’t help but glance at the Yin Dragon remnant behind the old man. Its enormous body lay silently in the darkness. It had spent countless lonely and lonely years under the Soul Suppressing Abyss, and the two empty sockets of his eyes seemed to tell of a painful past.
Looking at the old man’s expression, it seemed as if he was a bit depressed. Even at his level, he was still somewhat concerned about the past. Shen Shi did not dare to say anything else. After a moment of hesitation, he asked softly, “Senior, what is its name?”
“Back then, when its intelligence was activated, it turned into intelligence and called itself ‘Shaman Ghost’.”
“Shaman?” Shen Shi’s body suddenly trembled. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something. During his three years in the Demon Realm, He was mistaken for an extremely mysterious tribal ghost adept in Demon race. The words of this ghost adept were identical, but the order was completely different. In addition to a few spells, there was also a strange “ghost summoning spell” in the beast skin that he had obtained from the Demon World ghost adept. It was obvious that it was a ghost path spell. Could it be … that the Ghost Wizard Clan really has something to do with this Wizard Ghost?
The old man looked at Shen Shi’s sudden contemplation and frowned slightly. There was a trace of inquiry in his eyes as he said, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Shi was shocked. He woke up from his memories. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized that his thoughts just now seemed somewhat far-fetched. If the Ghost Wizards were indeed related to the Ghost Wizards, then they were naturally all ghosts. However, if that was the case, how could they be recognized by Demon race? Perhaps it was just a coincidence, right? Besides, he had also cultivated the Ghost Summoning Technique on the beast hide a few times, but every time he tried to cast a spell, all of them ended in failure. The words on the beast hide said that this spell was to communicate with the Underworld Underworld and summon powerful and fierce Ghost Imperial Envoys to fight. However, no matter how Shen Shi tried, there was no sign of communicating with the Underworld.
After thinking for a while, he still felt that this idea was too unreliable. Shen Shi shook his head and said, “Nothing. Senior, it’s this ghost witch … Uh, wrong, it’s a ghost witch. Is it actually this powerful now?”
The old man smiled and sighed, “Do you think it is powerful? In fact, its current strength is only 20% of its peak.”
Shen Shi instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt a burst of shock in his heart. Twenty percent of his strength was already so powerful. If it was at its peak, how could it be so heaven-defying and ferocious?
The old dragon glanced at him and stopped talking nonsense. “This ghost relied on the Underworld Fiend, so it relied heavily on the Underworld Fiend. But back then, the Underworld Fiend was taken away and destroyed by someone. So no matter how it changed now, even if it really came back to life later, its strength would at most return to half of its original strength,” the old dragon said straightforwardly. “However, this ghost has a fierce nature. Once it recovers its true body and cultivates, it will definitely turn around and start a massacre. At that time, apart from thousands of ghosts, there will never be another living person under the Soul Suppressing Abyss. Do you understand?”
Shen Shi felt that his mouth was dry, especially when he thought of the thousands of ghosts howling outside. He felt even more bitter in his heart. A chill surged into his heart and he slowly nodded.
The old dragon stared at him. After a while, he whispered, “Right now, this Soul Suppressing Abyss is already a dead end. No one can escape under the protection of these thousands of ghosts. But in the past, I secretly used a method in this Soul Suppressing Abyss. If you were willing to help me once, there might be a chance of escaping death.”
Shen Shi took a deep breath and understood that there was no room for him to retreat. He nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, “Senior, please instruct me to do as you say.”
The old dragon nodded and said, “Come with your ears. I’ll tell you what to hear.”
Shen Shi leaned forward. The old dragon looked at his stiff body and sat there motionlessly. At the same time, he lowered his voice and whispered something into Shen Shi’s ears. Shen Shi’s expression changed slightly. First, he frowned as if he was puzzled, then he was a little surprised. Gradually, his expression became serious, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

After an unknown amount of time, the old dragon suddenly closed his eyes and looked somewhat tired. Shen Shi also slowly sat back down, his eyes glittering and his face uncertain.
After a while, the old dragon opened his eyes again and looked at Shen Shi. He said indifferently, “How about it?”
After a long silence, Shen Shi suddenly smiled. He slowly straightened his body and said, “Anyway, we are all going to die. Let’s fight it out once.”
The old dragon stared at him with no expression on his face.
Shen Shi glanced at the green light that filled the sky outside the cave. He looked at the ladder of light that ascended to the heavens and the figure of the skeleton that was moving higher and higher. He seemed to be thinking of something. Then, he turned his head and looked at the old dragon. He whispered, “Senior, I’ll make my move.”
The old dragon nodded slowly.
Shen Shi took a deep breath, then bent over and carefully hugged the old man’s body. Seeing his actions, Little Hei, who had been lying beside him, suddenly snorted uneasily.
Shen Shi ignored it. On the contrary, the old dragon glanced at Xiao Hei. Perhaps his gaze was somewhat comforting, and it quickly caused Xiao Hei to calm down again.
At the tentacle, Shen Shi had thought of countless possibilities, However, when he really moved the old man’s body, he discovered that this withered body seemed to be like most of the old men who had run out of oil. It was so light that it seemed to be weightless. Its skin was dried up and even rough. Even the skin did not seem to feel any temperature, only an ice-cold patch.
Shen Shi gritted his teeth and carefully hugged the old man. With the old man’s speechless gaze, he exerted his strength and lifted the old man’s body up in one move. He moved three feet to the side and put it down.
A faint light flashed, and the brilliance descended, shining on the old dragon’s back, which was leaning against the broken body just now.
It was a small, inconspicuous body of the dragon. It was even smaller than the old man’s back. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the old dragon sat on its back for a long, long time, blocking out all the light and hiding this small area behind him.
At this moment, it suddenly appeared. Even though Shen Shi was mentally prepared, he still subconsciously held his breath. What appeared in front of him was a dragon body that was as bright as new and looked almost intact. It was in stark contrast to the withered and decaying Yin Dragon remnant around him. Although this small piece of flesh looked so small compared to the giant Yin Dragon body, at least in this place, it was indeed an intact and powerful Yin Dragon flesh.
There was even a dragon scale covering this piece of flesh and blood. It was about the size of a head, and its light was profound cyan. It reflected streaks of ghostly light. Between the light and shadows, it seemed as if there was still the scenery of the past.
Shen Shi subconsciously glanced at the old dragon again. However, the old dragon had closed his eyes at some unknown time and sat expressionlessly on the side, as if he no longer reacted to what was happening outside of him.
Shen Shi slowly withdrew his gaze and landed on the dragon scale. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand. He tightly gripped the remaining intact dragon scale on the dragon’s body with both of his hands and suddenly raised it.
Perhaps the flesh and blood had long since withered, or perhaps their vitality had long been lost. Even though this small piece of flesh and blood was still strangely fresh, it was no longer as indestructible as the legendary dragon once possessed. The dragon scale was easily lifted, and Shen Shi even heard a low sound of flesh being torn apart, causing his body to tremble slightly.
A wound half an arm long appeared under the dragon scale. It was slender and deep red. Shen Shi stared at the wound and felt his eyelids jump and his mouth dry. However, he did not hesitate any further. Instead, he leaned forward slightly and held his breath. He pulled the wound on the dragon body with both hands and pulled it to both sides again.
A bright red light appeared in front of his eyes.
It was a drop of blood.
A drop of dragon blood.
Just like this, a drop of fresh and extremely viscous red dragon blood slowly oozed out from the wound under the dragon scale.
Unlike all the blood that Shen Shi had seen in the past, this drop of dragon blood was extremely viscous. After flowing out of the dragon’s body, it did not scatter and flow. Instead, it was like a soft yet resilient ball of skin, forming a bulging ball of blood that landed on Shen Shi’s hand.
The blood ball was about the size of a human head, and it was incomparably bright red. There were even a few dragon shadows swaying within it, as if they carried life with them. They were wriggling slightly in Shen Shi’s hands.
Next to him, Little Hei let out another low cry. As the old dragon sat on the ground, it seemed as if a faint sigh could be heard.
Shen Shi’s expression was solemn as he stood up with the ball of blood in his hand. He looked at the old dragon sitting on the ground and Little Hei lying on the ground for the last time. Then, he turned around and walked out of the cave with dragon blood.

“Roar!”
The moment Shen Shi walked out of the cave, a shrill howl came from all directions. Countless ghosts and flames beneath the nearby bone sea seemed to instantly sense this dazzling and vigorous vitality. In an instant, they all turned around.
Green light scattered down, covering the sky and the sun, as if everything had been reduced to the Netherworld. As for the thousands of ghosts, they howled wildly. Phosphorescence flames filled the sky and flew into the air, like a flood wave, like a torrential rain that was about to drown Shen Shi.
Facing this fierce and terrifying scene and the thousands of ghost-faced ghosts, Shen Shi felt as if his flesh and blood had frozen stiff. However, before this, he suddenly raised his head and shouted at the lonely peak, the green light that filled the sky, and the lofty, unruly, and vicious back.
“I have dragon blood. I offer it to the Shaman King!”
“Giant Dragon True Blood!”
“The last drop of True Dragon Blood in this world!”
Above the peak of Lonely Peak, that figure seemed to pause for a moment. At the bottom of Soul Suppressing Abyss, ghosts howled like madmen as ghosts covered the sky and covered the earth. They rumbled down in the faint green light, instantly engulfing Shen Shi’s figure.
