Chapter 658: The Eight Immortals Crossed the Sea

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the great factions entered the Demon Palace, they used their great power to advance forward with irrepressible force, and killed innumerable flying demons. They advanced quickly, but they were still forced to stop in their tracks in the face of the Departed Spirit Road, which was engulfed with resentment and Death Energy.

The gravity in the Departed Spirit Road’s vicinity was too high, and it would be difficult even for Divine Duty Experts to fly there. It was obvious that a terrifying Ancient Magical Formation Spell was set up there, and even Longbarton Divine Branch, Hastings Divine Branch, and other great factions didn’t dare to take this carelessly. As for ordinary wanderers, they were more careful, and none rushed over rashly. They all detected great danger!

“Departed Spirit Magical Formation Spell. It’s an Ancient Magical Formation Spell that will bind a soul and curse it. It turns out that the legend is real.”

“A bound and cursed soul won’t manage to drift to the Death Plane, and it will never get reborn. It’s amazing!”

“Brother Luis, it seems like there isn’t any hope for us to go over there.”

…

More wanderers rushed out of the numerous passages, and they started spiritedly discussing the eerie and terrifying Departed Spirit Road upon seeing it. When they saw the numerous skeleton claws in the river and heard the mournful cries, their expressions turned unsightly, and their scalps turned numb.

They couldn’t fly through the air, and swimming through the river wasn’t any different than seeking death. They would probably be quickly torn to shreds by the resentful spirits in the water. This was why the small wooden bridge was the sole path. But, after they observed the black skeleton claws on both sides of the bridge and observed with their senses the effects of the intense resentment, which could harm souls, they didn’t dare to go over rashly any longer.

“Departed Spirit Magical Formation Spell?” Yang Ling quickly understood this through listening to the crowd’s discussions, and he led the Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and others toward a remote corner. He hid there and started observing the surroundings carefully.

Obscure Energy Ripples, strong soul fetters, and soul attacks. This Departed Spirit Magical Formation Spell gave him a feeling of déjà vu. It achieved the same effect as the large-scope Soul Restriction Spell recorded on the obelisk. If he hadn’t failed to detect any Wizard Power’s Ripples, he would have assumed that this was a Soul Restriction Spell left by an Ancient Wizard.

“Young master, if we cross the Departed Spirit Road, we will reach the Demon Hall, where the Black-Horned Demon is hiding,” Vitaly told Dio. “This trip will only become more dangerous the deeper we venture here. Mr. Borgans and Mr. Battier can go there, but it would be better for us to stay outside.” Vitaly was quite worried. He looked at the Departed Spirit Road, which was filled with resentment, before looking at Dio, who was eager to give it a try.

There were extremely terrifying soul attacks hidden within the Departed Spirit Road’s vicinity, and if Vitaly was alone, he was confident that he could use the Dragon Head Ring’s protection to rush inside. However, he still had to take care of Dio, who only had a High-Level Deity’s power. This would make things more difficult. He wasn’t sure that he could handle the resentment in the Departed Spirit Road, which had accumulated over innumerable years.

“Vitaly, I must enter the Demon Hall. As for the way to enter, you should ponder that by yourself,” Dio said. When Dio saw the innumerable skeleton hands on the Departed Spirit Road, he also became scared, but he didn’t want to miss the crowd’s fight against the Black-Horned Demon. Even if he couldn’t help them, he still wanted to go inside to observe the battle. The crux was that he was confident in his family’s power, and even if he couldn’t cross the road directly by himself, he still wasn’t worried because he had Borgans, Battier, and other people.

“Young master, this is…” Vitaly got a headache as he looked at the obstinate Dio. He didn’t want the young master to take any risks, because if he suffered any mishaps, it was he, the Guard Leader, who would get in trouble.

“Dio, it’s better for you to stay here.” Borgans wore an expressionless look. He walked with large strides toward the Departed Spirit Road, leading Battier and the others.

“Mr. Borgans, I…” Dio glanced at Borgans, who had left. He was left without a choice and could only stay here. He could boss around Vitaly and the other guards, but he still couldn’t act impudently in the face of the peerless expert Borgans.

Algernon Divine Branch had an inheritance of millions of years and wasn’t short of direct descendants, but it only had a few peerless experts like Borgans.

Swoosh!

Borgans’ team was quite swift, and they quickly approached the Departed Spirit Road. After the black water in the river detected that living beings had approached it, it started boiling, and ghost wails echoed out. Innumerable departed spirits rushed toward the bridge and emitted intense resentment that filled every corner of the hall. The resentment was like formless awls that attacked the crowd’s souls.

Borgans’ team advanced with large strides, and the Dragon Head Rings around their fingers emitted gentle light that neutralized the Death Energy and the soul attacks of the resentment. Their group didn’t suffer any mishaps, but the wanderers who approached the Departed Spirit Road turned pale and quickly retreated in panic.

“Mr. Borgans, I will deal with this,” Battier said. When the long-haired Battier saw numerous skeleton hands stretch toward the bridge, he stepped forward bravely and fiercely attacked them with his blade.

Sizzle!

Sharp fan-shaped Sword Energy spread out and emitted a sizzling noise. All of the skeleton hands stretched out of the water, and in the way of the Sword Energy, they were torn at the wrist, and the dense Death Energy and resentment were forcefully scattered as if they were suddenly swept by a strong gale.

An apex Level-Sixth Divine Duty Expert’s attack was really no small matter.

“Battier, it seems like you will shortly advance into the Seventh Level,” Borgans chuckled, something rarely seen. Soon after, he took the lead and quickly rushed with the crowd over the small bridge.

Innumerable Departed Spirits rushed over ceaselessly and formed intense Death Energy and resentment. They even recklessly crawled to the bridge and tried to take down Borgans and the others into the water. But it was a pity that they failed, because they could only go back in the face of Battier’s sharp attacks.

The hanged ghost-like Three Ghost Servants didn’t want to stay at the rear and spoke before they rushed out swiftly. “Steve, let’s go,” they said. “Don’t let Algernon Divine Branch’s people steal all the treasures.” Their bodies were engulfed by green flames, and all departed spirits who approached them started burning. They were instantly burned into ashes. The Three Ghost Servants used their peculiar green flames to quickly cross the small bridge.

“Hehe, the Demon Hall,” the white-robed middle-aged man Steve said. “I really want to observe how terrifying the legendary Black-Horned Demon is.” He looked at the eerie and majestic hall before sneering coldly and quickly following the others along with Hastings Divine Branch’s members. A large palm appeared suddenly in the air and forced all the skeleton hands back into the water. They quickly crossed the river. Their Dragon Head Rings emitted bright radiance that obstructed the dense Death Energy and resentment.

Longbarton Divine Branch’s experts, who were specialized in craftsmanship, were different from the Algernon Divine Branch’s men, the Three Ghost Servants, and others. They wore Magical Cloaks covered by symbols and tapped the ground with the tip of their foot. They quickly crossed the bridge, and the Death Energy and resentment quickly dissipated upon approaching the Magical Cloaks. It seemed like they dissipated because they suffered formless attacks!

Swoosh!

Upon seeing the great four factions’ members cross the bridge safely, some hiding wanderers didn’t hold anything back and followed the others quickly. The eight immortals showed their own special magical abilities to cross the sea, and these experts also used their great power to cross over by force. They cast powerful magical abilities and gnashed their teeth. They made it through this daunting experience without suffering any mishaps.

The eight immortals showed their own special magical abilities to cross the sea!

“Ah, save me! Save me!”

“Brother James, save me…”

…

When some wanderers with inadequate power saw many powerful wanderers rushing over there by force, they braced themselves and rushed over. However, their outcome was the same. They were either dragged down by the black skeleton hands into the deep black river, or they lost their reason because they absorbed a large amount of Death Energy and resentment. Their flesh rotted quickly in front of the nervous crowd’s gazes, and they turned into new departed spirits.

Ah!

Some unfortunate men, who were infected by the Death Energy, put in their last struggle at death’s door and roared loudly like cornered beasts. They all rushed back and killed everyone in their way. They released great fighting prowess and high speed at the brink of death. They even dragged some wanderers at the front into the water and pulled down several men who couldn’t dodge in time, killing them.

The wanderers, who assumed that they had enough power to cross the river, were scared by this and turned pale. They quickly retreated as they sighted upon ghosts and distanced themselves from the strange Departed Spirit Road.

It would be difficult even for an expert with an apex High-Level Deity’s power to cross this road by force without a protective Dragon Head Ring or Divine Weapon. If they weren’t wanderers at the level of the Rain Demon or Anderson, they would only meet death by rushing over there.

The Departed Spirit Road, which was filled with resentment, was like a giant python that had opened its large, bloody mouth. It blocked the numerous wanderers’ paths.

“Lord, what should be done?” Ophelia asked. When she saw the terrifying Departed Spirit Road and the tragic end of the wanderers who had rushed over there, her face turned pale. Even if she used the Demon God Battle Formation, she still wasn’t confident that she could cross the road by force.

The Corpse Wizard King furrowed his brows and came up with a solution after pondering this problem. Yang Ling’s individual power and understanding of the Demon God Battle Formation was the highest among the crowd, and if he used the Demon God Battle Formation along with the crowd, it might be possible for them to cross the road. “Lord, why don’t you join hands with us and cast the Demon God Battle Formation?” he asked Yang Ling.

Upon hearing what he had said, the eyes of the worried Ophelia, the Burning Fire Elf King, and others lit up, and they felt hope for rushing over there smoothly.

“Rodriguez, we aren’t in a hurry. We aren’t in a hurry at all,” Yang Ling said. He didn’t express his opinion about the Corpse Wizard King’s suggestion, however, instead looking at the arrogant men of Algernon Divine Branch in the distance, who occupied a large expanse of vacant land, before looking at Dio, who wasn’t protected by any peerless experts. He couldn’t help but sneer coldly.

If Borgans, Battier, or other peerless experts were still next to this guy, he surely wouldn’t dare to attack. But Borgans had brought with him most Divine Duty Experts to fight over the treasures in the Demon Hall, and what was better than this was that the men of Algernon Divine Branch that were left had lowered their guard. The reason behind this might be that they assumed that no one would dare to provoke them due to their faction’s great influence and power.

This matter gave him a rare golden opportunity!
