A massive explosion, fireballs continuously appeared in the void, bursting open across the Holy City. The entire Holy City was engulfed in flames. In mid-air, Chu Hao saw a shrouded Corpse Ghost holding a Scepter, continuously unleashing great fires.

Is that a Foreign Ghost?

"Spirit Control Technique, Gold Technique."

A voice rang out, a hundred-meter-tall golden giant appeared, and with a slap, it smashed the fire-releasing Corpse Ghost to the ground.

The Northern Spirit Palace Master was ahead. Chu Hao was delighted and ran over to shout, "Palace Master."

The Northern Spirit Palace Master was sixty years old. His clothes were disheveled as he stood amid the ruins. Upon seeing Chu Hao, he said, "Did you come out?"

Chu Hao nodded and said, "Palace Master, have the Foreign Ghosts attacked?"

The Northern Spirit Palace Master said, "We can't stay here, you must leave quickly. The Foreign Ghosts are far more terrifying than imagined, the Netherworld Hell has already fallen."

Chu Hao replied earnestly, "I want to see the Foreign Ghosts, just a glimpse."

The Northern Spirit Palace Master was silent for a while, then said, "Very well, follow me."

Shang Yingdie, Gu Yan, and others quickly followed.

They followed the Northern Spirit Palace Master all the way to the southwest of the Holy City, where the battle was even more intense.

A large expanse of buildings had been flattened. Atop one building stood a golden creature with six blooming floral-like tails, its body glowing brilliantly.

The Northern Spirit Palace Master said, "That's the Master of the Xuan Yuan Academy."

"Where is the Foreign Ghost?"

The Northern Spirit Palace Master pointed ahead, but they only saw air, nothing else.

"There's nothing there?" Gu Yan said.

The Northern Spirit Palace Master sighed, "Your cultivation is insufficient to perceive its presence."

Everyone was astonished. With their current cultivation, they still couldn't see the Foreign Ghost, it was unbelievable.

Chu Hao stated seriously, "I see it."

The Northern Spirit Palace Master nodded slightly, knowing Chu Hao had strong eyes.

With his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, Chu Hao saw it, his whole body frozen in shock. Was that the so-called Foreign Ghost!?

A black creature, with blue hair flowing gracefully, deep blue eyes, a robust human-like body, adorned with iron chains piercing through its flesh, integrated with its body!

Its exterior seemed wrapped in a shell, revealing muscular fibers; its body had similarities to a ghost, exuding a deathly aura.

Is this the Foreign Ghost?

It truly was unique, neither human nor monster, the Ghost Qi it emitted seemed like black flames coiling around its body.

The great battle erupted, Master Xuan Yuan's tail thrust forward, wrapping around the opponent.

Another Palace Master appeared, the Demon Subduing Academy's Master, a white ape wielding an iron staff radiating Yin Yang Order, striking fiercely.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled, and even from two to three thousand meters away, Chu Hao and the others felt the violent quake. Cracks spread four to five miles across the earth's veins beneath their feet.

This strike was terrifying; even a grand mountain would likely crumble.

Everyone stared at the ground, surely the Foreign Ghost would be injured by such a blow.

"Bang!"

The Foreign Ghost pushed away the rubble and stood up as if unfazed, staring at the Master of the Demon Subduing Academy.

Everyone was shocked. Such terrifying power proved ineffective!

Master Xuan Yuan said, "Physical attacks are useless against him, Lan You!"

Master of the Dream Palace Lan You appeared, a middle-aged woman. Forming seals with her hands, various brilliant Inscription Marks emerged at her forehead.

"The Great Dream Transcends."

Mystical inscriptions appeared in all directions of the void, targeting only the Foreign Ghost.

The Foreign Ghost finally lowered its head, seemingly falling into slumber.

Master of the Dream Palace breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, "Physical attacks are useless, ordinary Yin Yang methods are ineffective. Only my Dream Palace...

Before she finished speaking, the Foreign Ghost suddenly raised its head, eyes focusing on Master of the Dream Palace, who exclaimed in shock.

In an instant, the Foreign Ghost stretched out its hand. The space turned dark, and a powerful suction surged toward its palm uncontrollably.

Even Chu Hao and the others, several thousand meters away, couldn't avoid it, flying uncontrollably toward the Foreign Ghost.

They saw the Master of the Dream Palace fly into the Foreign Ghost's hand, squeezed tightly, her neck snapping instantly, eyes bursting, blood spraying from her neck.

A human body in the Foreign Ghost's hand was like tofu!

"Lan You!" The Palace Masters were horrified.

Soon after, the Foreign Ghost opened its mouth, the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of the Master of the Dream Palace floated out and were absorbed into its body.

The Foreign Ghost discarded the corpse, muttering, "Far from enough."

Everyone shuddered.

The Northern Spirit Palace Master's face was grim, "The Great Dream Transcends, such Yin Yang method targeting spirit and consciousness failed. Also, physical attacks have no effect."

Everyone was astonished.

Chu Hao was unconvinced; it should have worked. After the Great Dream Transcends was cast, the Foreign Ghost fell into slumber for a while but quickly awoke.

"Boom!"

The Foreign Ghost began counterattacking, all Palace Masters going all out, the battle was intensely fierce, deploying various Yin Yang methods and weapons.

Chu Hao and the others had to retreat, the attack range kept expanding, fearing they would get caught up.

Shang Yingdie and Gu Yan's faces turned pale. Ancestors so powerful were still defeated?

Gu Yan said, "This is an event from years past, how did our ancestors withstand the Foreign Ghosts for so long?"

When the Foreign Ghosts attacked, it was the peak of the Ancient Taoist Civilization, they held out until the last fifty years.

The Foreign Ghost ripped another Palace Master apart, tearing the flesh in half, bathing in blood, the scene was gory. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Even knowing it's a scene from the past, Chu Hao and others were still in fear.

Once entangled with a Foreign Ghost, death wasn't the end. It would absorb your Three Souls and Seven Spirits into its body, not even reaching the Underworld, directly vanishing from this world.

The Northern Spirit Palace Master looked to Chu Hao, "You all should leave quickly."

Chu Hao couldn't help but say, "Palace Master, you should leave too. If everyone dies, truly there will be no way."

The Northern Spirit Palace Master shook his head, "If I escape, wouldn't it make Bei Ling Academy a joke for generations!"

The Northern Spirit Palace Master sneered, "Besides, this Foreign Ghost refuses to regard our Yang Realm, do they think we Yanhuang People are vegetarians?"

Yanhuang World!

So, their human world was called Yanhuang.

The Northern Spirit Palace Master opened his hand, a cluster of Curse Marks appeared, the essence compressed to the extreme, handed to Chu Hao.

"Ding...Discovered Qiankun Douling Technique, exchangeable for fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points."

"Ding...Host needs a fifty-fold boost in spiritual awareness, plus ten thousand Pretentiousness Points to learn Qiankun Douling Technique."

Chu Hao was stunned, "Palace Master, you!?"

The Northern Spirit Palace Master seriously said, "This is our Bei Ling Academy's strongest art, take it and leave. Learn it well. If you are interested, restore Bei Ling Academy's glory; if not, bury it after learning, and place a bottle of Osmanthus Wine on the gravestone for me to have a resting place after death."

Chu Hao's eyes reddened.
