Yang Zhenshan confronted the Yellow Springs Old Ghost, who revealed his ability to obscure his lifespan and unleash a "Divine Soul Devour" skill. Yang Zhenshan fought back with lightning and fire, managing to injure the ghost with his spear. However, the ghost retaliated with a powerful surge of Yellow Springs Water and black mist, trapping Yang Zhenshan and attempting to devour his divine soul. Yang Zhenshan used "Seal the Void" to create a stalemate, but the Yellow Springs Old Ghost transformed into a colossal form, unleashing attacks that began to deplete Yang Zhenshan's divine soul.

Yang Zhenshan’s figure suddenly expanded, and his massive hand lifted, dispelling Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s fist.

Devouring Spirit Body!

In an instant, Yang Zhenshan transformed into a giant, a towering hundred-zhang tall giant, several times larger than Yellow Springs Old Ghost.

"Little ghostly creature, how dare you boast in front of this master?"

He returned the words Yellow Springs Old Ghost had spoken earlier.

If Yellow Springs Old Ghost had lungs, they would probably have exploded with anger by now.

Yellow Springs Old Ghost truly did not expect Yang Zhenshan to be this troublesome!

He thought Yang Zhenshan’s most powerful technique was the Withering-Renewal Divine Skill, and indeed, his assumption was correct; Yang Zhenshan’s most powerful technique is indeed the Withering-Renewal Divine Skill.

However, thinking Yang Zhenshan had no other powerful techniques aside from the Withering-Renewal Divine Skill was a grave mistake.

Transforming into the formless, sealing the void, Breaking Void Spear, all are superior Divine Dao Intents.

Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron, Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword, Thunder Fire Spear, Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower, though none are mighty, they satisfy all Yang Zhenshan’s needs.

Body defense, spiritual defense, thunder and lightning attack, spear Dao attack, allowing Yang Zhenshan to fully showcase his strength.

Although Yang Zhenshan currently doesn’t have any overwhelmingly powerful techniques apart from the Withering-Renewal Divine Skill, he has no weaknesses at this moment.

Of course, Yellow Springs Old Ghost is not easy to handle either.

Yellow Springs Old Ghost possesses the cultivation level of Peak Ghost King; his only weak point is being a ghostly entity, not a Golden Core Cultivator.

The ghost cultivation inheritance in Wanhua Domain is limited, and consequently, various resources matching the ghost cultivation are much scarcer.

In terms of cultivation techniques, cultivation insights, Divine Dao Intents, spiritual artifacts, etc., ghost cultivation inheritance cannot compare with immortal cultivation.

Therefore, despite having cultivation at the Peak Ghost King level, Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s overall strength is slightly inferior to that of a Golden Core Peak great power.

Even so, his overall strength is still above Yang Zhenshan’s.

Yang Zhenshan displayed the Devouring Spirit Body, dispersing Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s form with a spear, yet quickly the surrounding Yellow Springs Water again coalesced into an even larger body.

The two giants battled in the void, terrifying energy fluctuating one after another, Yang Zhenshan did not fear such a fight, even finding advantage in such a confrontation. However, Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s soul-devouring divine power was too troublesome, the longer time passed, the more of his divine soul’s power was being devoured.

If this continues, eventually his divine soul would be exposed before Yellow Springs Old Ghost, having no more defenses against the ghostly attacks.

Yang Zhenshan, while battling, felt his own divine soul and at the same time observed Yellow Springs Old Ghost.

The strongest aspect of ghost cultivation is the divine soul, then the question arose, whose divine soul is stronger, his or Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s?

It seemed Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s divine soul was indeed stronger, but his own divine soul is extraordinary.

His divine soul is the Artifact Spirit of the Life Realm Immortal Palace, integrated with the palace, as long as the palace isn’t destroyed, his divine soul cannot be eradicated.

If he continues fighting like this, he’s undoubtedly not the opponent, what’s next is preparing for escape.

Yet, if he battles Yellow Springs Old Ghost in terms of divine soul, he might still have an opportunity for victory.

With this thought, Yang Zhenshan hardened his resolve, after blocking Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s attack, the Qinghua Thunder Pearl within the Green Wood Purple Lightning Sword suddenly exploded, enveloping the two enormous figures with thunder.

Simultaneously, the Thunder Fire Spear he wielded pierced again through Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s body.

Yellow Springs Old Ghost also did not back down, the Yellow Springs Atlas directly descended upon him, and the long ruler in his hand aimed at his head.

"Hmph!"

Yang Zhenshan coldly snorted inwardly, suddenly opening his hands to grasp Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s body tightly.

The body condensed from Yellow Springs Water had a strong corrosive effect, yet the vestment robe on his body could momentarily block this.

What Yang Zhenshan needed was just this moment.

In the instant he grasped Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s body, black chains shot out from his body, instantly locking down Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s divine soul.

The sudden emergence of the Soul-locking Chain caused Yellow Springs Old Ghost to be momentarily stunned, but quickly he revealed a vicious smile.

"You actually have a Divine Soul Spiritual Artifact, but to compete with me in terms of divine soul power, aren’t you too arrogant?"

The Divine Wood Treasure Cauldron bathed in green light floated above Yang Zhenshan’s head, blocking the descending Yellow Springs, while the falling green barrier also blocked the striking black long ruler.

With their close proximity, towering hundred-zhang bodies, arms reaching forty or fifty zhang, Yang Zhenshan seized Yellow Springs Old Ghost’s body, their distance was arm’s length.

"Arrogant! Haha, come here!"

From Yang Zhenshan’s eyes burst forth dim rays, emanating from the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower, carrying the power of soul suppression.

Since the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower advanced as a spiritual artifact, its seven abilities have been enhanced, particularly the Soul Returning Array and Luminous Soul Domain of the seventh level, far beyond their previous form.

As long as Yang Zhenshan can pull Yellow Springs Ancestor’s divine soul into the Soul Returning Array, he could imprison it within the Luminous Soul Domain, then slowly obliterate his soul.

Yellow Springs Old Ghost felt the tug of the Soul-locking Chain, his heart filled with ridicule.

To compete with him in terms of divine soul power, to use a Divine Soul Spiritual Artifact in front of him, Yang Zhenshan’s confidence seemed misplaced.

However, the current situation indeed favored Yellow Springs Old Ghost.

In his eyes, such soul-drawing actions were beneficial behaviors for him.

Thus, he made a decision that took Yang Zhenshan utterly by surprise.
