Lu Changsheng realized the Six Paths Demon Consort targeted him due to his Soul Beast, awakened by the White Bone Ghost King's presence. Deciding to resolve the battle swiftly, he unleashed the displeased Soul Beast, which transformed into a ferocious Demon Ape and devoured the suppressed Ghost King despite desperate interference. Shen Baishuang intensified her assault to shield him, as the enraged Six Paths Demon Consort charged toward the Soul Beast.

Lu Changsheng spotted the Six Paths Demon Consort launching her assault, his eyes narrowing faintly, while the talisman arrays encircling him surged forth, fusing their qi forces into a sturdy talisman barrier.

Yet this remained merely a Third Rank Talisman Formation.

The Six Paths Demon Consort thrust her pale jade hand forward, summoning hordes of vicious ghosts and resentful spirits that shredded Lu Changsheng’s talisman wall before howling straight at the Soul-calling Beast.

The Soul-calling Beast showed no fear whatsoever, unleashing an exhilarated roar toward the heavens.

The churning ghost mist cloaking it erupted like endless crashing waves, billowing outward in all directions.

Next, the crimson demonic eye on its forehead whirled at high speed, pouring out boundless scarlet glow.

"Boom!!!"

A breathtaking spectacle erupted before their eyes.

Beneath the Soul-calling Beast’s crimson glow and Soul Capturing Divine Light, the myriad vicious ghosts and resentful spirits bubbled and seethed like scalding water, relentlessly dissolving and crumbling before getting gulped down by the Soul-calling Beast.

Although the Soul-calling Beast failed to eradicate every vicious ghost and resentful spirit, the curved horns crowning its head along with the surging black mist enveloping it rendered these foes unable to inflict harm.

At the same time, Qian Zhuyan nearby commanded nine Third Rank Puppets, twirling the Puppet Formation Map across the sky to erect crystalline pillars of puppet energy, easing the strain on the Soul-calling Beast.

"How is this possible!"

The Six Paths Demon Consort’s face twisted in shock, her luminous dark eyes brimming with disbelief.

Though this had been a rushed attack on her part, she hadn’t restrained her power at all—even some Nascent Soul Cultivators would struggle to dispel it effortlessly.

But the man, beast, and puppets facing her had actually endured her Ghost Soul Technique.

Without delay, she formed hand seals with both palms, her alluring figure erupting in bloody light that coalesced into a roaring river of crimson ghost souls, flooding toward the Soul-calling Beast.

"This!?"

Close by, Shen Baishuang stared in astonishment at the unfolding battle.

What the heck?

Elder Xuanmu had not only demolished Si Guihua’s Fourth Rank Ghost Pet but also repelled her full-powered strike!?

It was worth noting that Si Guihua wasn’t any average Nascent Soul Cultivator.

She stood just one step from advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Even if her earlier move was improvised, the might from the White Bone Demon Palace bore down heavily and couldn’t be taken lightly.

"This black Demon Ape..."

Shen Baishuang’s eyes locked onto the Soul-calling Beast with its dark visage and protruding fangs, shrouded in ghost mist as it clashed against the vicious ghosts, resentful spirits, and bloody river—her lovely gaze filled with shock and uncertainty.

She knew Lu Changsheng could hold off the Six Paths Demon Consort not solely thanks to the Fourth Rank Puppet, but mostly because of this creature!

However, as a Nascent Soul True Lord herself, she couldn’t pierce the Soul-calling Beast’s true nature.

It resembled a demon beast or a fiendish creature twisted by demonic power, yet ghost qi swirled around it like a savage Ghost King.

Still, the ghost qi it exuded differed vastly from the chilling aura of the White Bone Demon Palace, naturally suppressing Si Guihua’s divine abilities.

"It’s demonic, beastly, ghostly... yet it counters evil ghost paths so effectively—what sort of demon beast is this? Beyond the Fourth Rank Puppet, does Elder Xuanmu truly possess such an elite Spiritual Pet!?"

Even as a Nascent Soul True Lord, Shen Baishuang reeled from Lu Changsheng’s barrage of strategies, her thoughts surging like massive ocean waves, refusing to settle.

Yet in that instant, she pushed aside deeper musings, sensing a glimmer of hope amid the gloom.

The ancient golden sword gripped in her hand hummed violently as she slashed at the Six Paths Demon Consort, lightening the load on the Soul-calling Beast.

"Elder Xuanmu, pour everything into wiping out this wretch’s Dao Soldiers and the White Bone Ghost King!"

Shen Baishuang noted how the Soul-calling Beast dominated the Ghost King, so she urged it toward the White Bone Ghost King and the ghost soldier Dao Soldiers from the White Bone Demon Palace.

"Alright."

Lu Changsheng replied gravely, aware that these Dao Soldiers fueled much of the White Bone Demon Palace’s power, and directed the Soul-calling Beast to target them first.

"Roar!!!"

The Soul-calling Beast’s head horns gleamed with misty light as it bellowed to the sky, its huge nostrils blasting forth boundless Soul Capturing Divine Light that swept through the White Bone Demon Palace like a raging storm.

In a flash, the palace’s chilling ghost qi and ghost soldier Dao Soldiers turned into prime nourishment for the Soul-calling Beast.

"Stop!"

Rage and alarm twisted the Six Paths Demon Consort’s features, her cry piercing and shrill, stripped of its former seductive grace and poise.

After all, Dao Soldiers proved infamously tough to nurture.

Her Fourth Rank Ghost Pet was already consumed by the Soul-calling Beast, slashing her power sharply.

Should these Dao Soldiers get devoured or destroyed too, her strength would plummet further.

Rebuilding Dao Soldiers from scratch would squander vast resources and demand ages of time.

That stretch would leave her gravely vulnerable!

"Hahaha, Si Guihua, where did all that earlier arrogance go!"

Witnessing the Six Paths Demon Consort’s furious and helpless state, Shen Baishuang felt refreshingly cool like gulping iced water in scorching heat, her entire being invigorated—even her pale cheeks flushed with thrill.

Through the years, she’d clashed repeatedly with Si Guihua, usually coming out the worse, never beholding her foe so rattled.

Right now, her spirits soared beyond words.

All prior resentments and irritations evaporated instantly, and even Lu Changsheng nearby struck her as far more likable.

"Boom!"

To impede the Six Paths Demon Consort more and savor her disarray longer, Shen Baishuang boldly ignited her Nascent Soul Secret Technique, elevating her Nascent Soul’s potency even higher.

"Shen Baishuang, you madwoman!"

The Six Paths Demon Consort spat curses, observing Shen Baishuang torch her Nascent Soul Origin while forcing the Nascent Soul Secret Technique in a desperate bid against her.

"Hahaha, I feel like it!"

Shen Baishuang fully grasped the risks and toll, but nothing topped the joy of watching the Six Paths Demon Consort get overwhelmed.

Besides, much of her own power stemmed from her body’s Spiritual Treasure.

Whereas half of the Six Paths Demon Consort’s combat prowess relied on this White Bone Demon Palace.
