The Yang Family Blessed Land is attacked by the Yellow Springs Hall. While the ancient array holds, the invaders' leader, Yellow Springs Old Ghost, prepares to confront Yang Zhenshan, as his associate searches for the family's Pocket World. Yang Zhenshan leaves the defense to Xuanzhen, who sees the ghost army as cultivation resources, and flies out to meet Yellow Springs Old Ghost in direct combat.

However, at the moment of unfolding the Tai Chi Diagram, he was slightly stunned.

He actually couldn’t see through the remaining lifespan of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost!

No, to be precise, he couldn’t lock onto the lifespan information of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost.

Since it couldn’t be locked, naturally, he couldn’t reduce his ghostly lifespan.

"It seems you’re well-prepared!" Yang Zhenshan said clearly.

"That’s right, if you hadn’t made such preparations, I guess you wouldn’t dare to appear in front of me!"

His words were filled with sarcasm, but what he said was indeed correct.

It has been seventy years since he reduced the Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s lifespan by three hundred years. During these seventy years, it wasn’t that the Yellow Springs Old Ghost couldn’t find him, but it was only today that he appeared before Yang Zhenshan, obviously indicating he was afraid to seek revenge before.

Being taunted like this, the Yellow Springs Old Ghost instantly became furious.

This damn bastard not only reduced my lifespan by three hundred years but also dares to ridicule me here!

"I shall claim your Divine Soul today!"

The Yellow Springs Old Ghost shouted angrily, waving his sleeve, and the Yellow Springs Map unfolded in the Void. The turbulent Yellow Springs Water surged from the painting like waves, drowning everything.

Then he took out a black ruler, which emitted a dark mist that spread and permeated with the flow of the Yellow Springs Water.

Faced with such an attack, Yang Zhenshan didn’t even think before transforming his body into something intangible, disappearing from where he stood.

The divine skills and Spiritual Artifacts of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost were not easy to deal with, all carrying ghostly auras, easily catching one off guard.

Yang Zhenshan was already very careful, yet he still underestimated the divine skills of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost.

His body turned intangible, merging with the Void.

This wasn’t disappearance but a fusion with the Void.

Ordinary attacks naturally couldn’t reach Yang Zhenshan, but the attacks of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost were not ordinary; they were soul attacks.

The black mist spread over, entering the place where Yang Zhenshan was in the Void, and suddenly he felt a wave of dizziness from his Divine Soul.

"This is!"

"Divine Soul Devour!"

Yang Zhenshan’s heart chilled, his intangible body immediately turning tangible, moving away from the encroaching black mist.

He looked at the Yellow Springs Old Ghost with surprise and suspicion!

The divine skill of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost was actually Divine Soul Devour?

He always thought the divine skill of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost was the Yellow Springs Water, but he didn’t expect this old ghost could hide his prowess!

Although Divine Soul Devour couldn’t threaten his life in a short time, over time, his Power of Divine Soul would be devoured by the Yellow Springs Old Ghost. Then his Divine Soul would be left unprotected, allowing the Yellow Springs Old Ghost to slaughter it at will.

"Think you can escape? Do you think you can?"

The Yellow Springs Old Ghost let out a hearty laugh while pursuing Yang Zhenshan.

"Escape! Old ghost, you really underestimate me!"

Yang Zhenshan said coldly. Then thunder and lightning flashed suddenly, the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword appeared behind him, and the Thunder Fire Spear appeared in his hands.

Thousands of thunder snakes erupted from his body, dispersing all the surrounding black mist while entangling with the Yellow Springs Water.

"Hmph, little tricks dare to show off before me."

The Yellow Springs Old Ghost didn’t care about the bursting thunder light at all, waving the ruler in his hand. The black mist actually transformed into a huge ghostly creature pouncing on Yang Zhenshan.

Roar~~

The ghostly creature roared, causing Yang Zhenshan’s Divine Soul to tremble.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower swiftly rotated, enveloping Yang Zhenshan’s Divine Soul with a radiant spiritual light, shielding him from this soul attack.

A Spear to Break the Void!

Yang Zhenshan’s figure suddenly disappeared, then suddenly appeared in front of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost, the sharp spearhead entwined with dazzling green lightning instantly piercing the body of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost.

The sudden attack caught the Yellow Springs Old Ghost off guard, and he looked at his chest in shock.

The intense pain caused his mind to tremble, making it impossible for his body to maintain a real state, instantly transforming into a ghostly illusion.

The instinct of ghostly creatures is to switch between reality and illusion; their bodies can condense into a solid form or transform into an illusory form. The so-called illusory form is gathered Ghost Qi, resembling a cloud of black mist.

Moreover, the pain of ghostly creatures is different from humans; their bodies do not feel pain, but their Divine Souls can.

Ordinary attacks are ineffective against them; only attacks that restrain evil ghosts can cause them harm.

The Wood Divine Thunder precisely has the ability to restrain evil spirits.

And the Breaking Void Spear is enough to break through the defenses of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost.

This unexpected spear, while bringing a huge wound to the Yellow Springs Old Ghost, also caused him to let out a mournful scream.

However, after the scream, the Yellow Springs Water surged backwards, directly submerging Yang Zhenshan within.

"Ah~~ Damn it! I will kill you!"

The Yellow Springs Old Ghost roared furiously, and under his fury, the Yellow Springs Water became extremely violent, relentlessly battering Yang Zhenshan.

Simultaneously, black mist twined around Yang Zhenshan’s body, bit by bit devouring his Divine Soul.

For a time, Yang Zhenshan seemed like he was in a blender, unable to control either his body or his Divine Soul.

The Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower spun faster and faster in the Sea of Consciousness, blocking soul attacks time and time again.

However, Yang Zhenshan did not panic or feel anxious; his mind remained calm. The thunder on his body retracted, and then he clasped his hands together, and mysterious Dao Rhyme spread from his body.

Seal the Void!

In the next moment, his figure steadied, regardless of how the Yellow Springs Water and the black mist struck; they couldn’t approach his body. He stood firmly like a rock in the midst of furious waves.

Sealing the Void not only prevents the enemy from escaping but also prevents oneself from leaving.

Of course, Yang Zhenshan wasn’t trying to trap himself; he wanted to confine the surrounding Void, preventing the Yellow Springs Water and black mist from approaching him.

At this moment, the Seal the Void acted like a barrier, wrapping Yang Zhenshan tightly within. Though it confined him, it also afforded him immense defense.

No matter how the Yellow Springs Old Ghost attacked, Yang Zhenshan remained unmoved.

Thus, the two fell into a stalemate, with the Yellow Springs Old Ghost continually manipulating the Yellow Springs Water to assault Yang Zhenshan, who tirelessly maintained the Void’s confining power.

As time ticked by, the Yellow Springs Old Ghost gradually sensed something amiss and stopped his attack.

He looked at Yang Zhenshan with a shifting expression.

"What divine skill is this of yours?"

Yang Zhenshan’s lips curled slightly, "I won’t tell you!"

This old ghost actually asked him this question at such a time, was he so angry that his mind was muddled!

Seeing the attack cease, Yang Zhenshan certainly wasn’t going to be polite, thrusting out the Thunder Fire Spear once more.

The Yellow Springs Old Ghost, no longer in humanoid form, had transformed into a mass of Ghost Qi, merging with the Yellow Springs Water to form a massive and bizarre body.

Before him was the gigantic Yellow Springs Old Ghost, behind him, a huge ghostly creature formed by condensed black mist, making Yang Zhenshan seem tiny in comparison.

Yet, this tiny figure could unleash terrifying power.

Another spear to break the void.

This spear was even stronger than the last.

With this spear, ripples appeared in the Void, not energy fluctuations but ripples of the Void itself.

Yang Zhenshan noticed these ripples, his expression slightly changed.

It was his first time witnessing ripples of the Void itself.

Before, no matter who he battled, no matter how powerful the energy fluctuations he unleashed, they couldn’t cause even a slight ripple in the Void itself.

Yet now, his spear had actually stirred the Void.

It’s known that the Void is originally void, formless, and without substance; how could it ripple?

Unfortunately, now wasn’t the time to consider such matters. Yang Zhenshan merely paid a little attention before turning to repeatedly thrust the Thunder Fire Spear at the Yellow Springs Old Ghost.

Under his spear, the colossal body of the Yellow Springs Old Ghost began to collapse.

The Yellow Springs Old Ghost bellowed continuously, simultaneously throwing his fists towards Yang Zhenshan.

His fists were no ordinary fists but were formed by the convergence of Yellow Springs Water, also entwined with a black soul-devouring power.

With each attack endured, the Power of Divine Soul of Yang Zhenshan would diminish slightly. If he continued to suffer such attacks, it wouldn’t be long before his Divine Soul would become powerless, leaving the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower unable to protect the soul anymore.
