He saw the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun emerge unscathed from the riverbed, whereupon the Dark Stream Old Ghost let out a bellow of rage suppressed, the force of his voice rippling the River of Styx Water into surging waves and ripples.
“Old Zhu!
Get ready to finish him off.
...
I’ll disrupt his spirit, and you seize the opportunity to attack!
Let’s first deplete his power.”
The sound of Chen Dengming’s mind power resonated within the spirit of Chu Xun.
“Alright!”
Chu Xun’s spirits soared as he let out a long howl, as if he had reclaimed the fiery blood he once had fighting side by side with Chen Dengming in Absolute Forest City.
So what if it was the Ghost King?
He had also attained his Nascent Soul, and the next step was becoming a Ghost King.
Chu Xun bellowed, his two ghastly claws performing a seal and striking out.
Instantly, multiple lumps of Yin Thunder rolled towards the Dark Stream Old Ghost like galloping horses.
The shadows of these black arcs appeared like giant pythons winding through the Underworld River, vanishing in an instant.
In the next moment, as if an artillery squad had begun a terrifying barrage, the rumbling thunder rolled from east to west, echoing in every direction.
The Dark Stream Old Ghost was undaunted, his black robe billowing as he completed a hand seal.
In an instant, multiple ice swords recoiled, transforming into a massive and deadly ice blade that ferociously split the rolling black Yin Thunder, shooting out a dazzling white light.
By now, the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun had also reached close quarters.
A ghastly claw smashed out with a “boom,” and a massive black thunder blob exploded upon his fist.
It was like a giant rolling millstone that burst forth, tearing through the ice swords and charging directly toward the Dark Stream Ghost King.
The two forces met head-on, merging into two fiercely entangled blurry figures.
Amidst the collision of various ghost skills and offensive moves, the surrounding Underworld River Water was already churned up like a pot of porridge, utterly chaotic.
The two Ghost Ladies could only discern Chu Xun’s figure through the large and small blurry silhouettes amidst the chaos.
The fighting style of Ghost Cultivators was quite similar to that of the Human Immortal Dao, often employing the body and limbs to strike at the enemy.
Mainly because the ghastly body post-transformation had virtually no weaknesses such as the heart, brain, or joints, and could even change shape to employ ghost claws or tails in combat.
Thus, the clash between the Dark Stream Old Ghost and Chu Xun was brutal and fierce, resembling the combat style of those who pursued Body Cultivation.

Seeing such a situation, the two Ghost Ladies knew they couldn’t help and could only swiftly take the Soul Clam Pearl with them, sorrowfully making their escape to avoid distracting Chu Xun.
At this moment, although Chu Xun appeared to be locked in an intense battle with the Dark Stream Old Ghost, he was in fact completely at a disadvantage, being suppressed.
His ghastly body made him tough-skinned and immensely strong, his Nascent Soul gave him a semblance of the Nascent Soul’s power, which was manageable against the Dark Stream Old Ghost.
But after all, the Dark Stream Old Ghost was a true Nascent Soul ghost, and whether it was reaction speed, offensive speed, or the power of the Nascent Soul, he surpassed Chu Xun.
Therefore, after exchanging blows, the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun had suffered several vicious strikes, yet had not posed any threat to the Dark Stream Old Ghost.
However, he believed in Chen Dengming, and even though the armor on his body was almost shattered and breaking, his ghastly body wounded yet again, he trusted Chen Dengming would create an opportunity for him.
“Is all you can do defend?
Show me the power you have to kill me!”
An ice sword whistled past, deflecting the Yin Thunder Chu Xun had cast.
The silhouette of the Dark Stream Old Ghost surged forward, his leg swinging like a giant axe, striking the swiftly constructed Yin Thunder protective barrier around Chu Xun.
“Clang!”—
A wave of force burst in mid-air.
Large swaths of black electricity exploded and dispersed within the force of the blow.
The Yin Thunder barrier enveloping Chu Xun instantly shattered as his body was fiercely hurled into the rocks of the Underworld River below.
A “boom” resounded as the rock wall shattered, rocks flew violently in all directions, and dust scattered, the river water agitated and splashing.
“Just a bit more depletion.
Hang on a bit longer.”
Chen Dengming sat inside the Hall of Human Heart, calmly observing the situation through his mind power, waiting for the right moment.
It wasn’t difficult to get rid of the Dark Stream Old Ghost, but to kill him was another matter.
Even with his own mind power present, he had to seize the moment to strike down the adversary; otherwise, the enemy could escape at any time.
This opportunity required depleting the enemy’s power; only then could it be created.
This might also be the key for Chu Xun’s transformation, stepping into the realm of the Ghost King.
The Dark Stream Old Ghost gave the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun no chance to catch his breath.
The moment he smashed into the rock wall, he pushed off the ground with his feet, his knees bent, and like a cannonball, he shot out, his body wreathed in fierce and gloomy Ghost Qi, his elbows like battering rams, directly slamming into Chu Xun within the rock wall.
However—
“Clang!—!—”
The stubborn Yin Thunder barrier, as if inexhaustible, emerged once again, staunchly shielding Chu Xun.
With a bang!
The barrier exploded, countless black electric arcs scattering in all directions.
Before the Dark Stream Old Ghost’s elbows could descend upon Chu Xun’s armor, another surge of mind power stabbed into his spirit like a spear, causing him agonizing tremors, and his grip involuntarily loosened.
The ice sword, summoned by the mind under direction, “whooshed” through the air, missing its mark and fiercely embedding itself in the rock wall, instantly creating a thick layer of solid ice around it.
Boom—
A shockwave accompanied by water splashed inside the rock wall, shattering it and causing large chunks to break away.
Chu Xun’s ghostly eyes were full of cold determination, and even though he endured a severe impact on his body, he was nowhere near panicking.
In terms of close-quarters combat experience with his ghostly body, he couldn’t match the Dark Stream Old Ghost.
In terms of the power of the Ghost Infant, his was not as robust as that of the Dark Stream Old Ghost.
In terms of Divine Thought power, were it not for Chen Dengming suppressing the Dark Stream Old Ghost, he wouldn’t stand a chance.
At this time, all he could do was follow Chen Dengming’s instruction, to use defense as offense.
For every bit of power he could deplete from the Dark Stream Old Ghost, he increased the odds of Chen Dengming finishing him off.
