Chapter 382: Chiyou’s Evil Spirit Appears, the Yellow Emperor’s Shroud!
The red ghostly soldiers were evidently stronger than the white wandering souls. These were crafted by Donghuang Taiyi through the Soul Gathering Array and Soul Summoning Banner. In terms of both aggression and solidness, they were far superior to the white wandering souls. However, the ghostly soldiers created by Donghuang Taiyi after spending such a long time in preparation crumbled like sand under Li Mo’s onslaught. Any attack filled with pure Yang energy that touched them would reduce them to dust.
The once dim and lifeless space suddenly looked like it was set ablaze with fireworks. Dazzling lights burst forth with the shattering of the ghostly soldiers, illuminating the surroundings spectacularly. As Donghuang Taiyi watched his crafted ghostly soldiers diminish, he didn’t feel anger; rather, a twisted smile crept onto his face.
“Kehehe, National Advisor, what a skill you have! I can’t wait to see whether your innate energy is greater or the number of restless spirits here!”
Just after his words echoed, a bloody wind suddenly swept through the area. At the same time, a terrifying suction force emanated from the banner overhead, much like a vacuum cleaner sucking in all those white wandering souls. The mindless souls didn’t even struggle as they were herded into the Soul Summoning Banner in piles. The sheer number of souls gathered from various places was staggering. Even though Donghuang Taiyi knew Li Mo’s technique could naturally counter these souls, he felt completely secure in this location, an isolated realm.
The air was filled with murky Yin energy, preventing Li Mo from absorbing any external energy to replenish his depleted innate qi. Once Li Mo’s innate energy ran out, everyone would be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Donghuang Taiyi intended to wear them down, no matter the cost!
“What a schemer!”
The group quickly realized Donghuang Taiyi’s intentions. Li Wu couldn’t help but curse aloud. However, Li Mo simply offered a cold smile.
“What are you laughing at?”
Seeing Li Mo still able to laugh at such a critical moment infuriated Donghuang Taiyi.
“I laugh because you’ve wasted five hundred years of your life.”
Li Mo maintained his smile, while Donghuang Taiyi felt the heavy sting of mockery.
Li Mo continued, “Have you perhaps forgotten where this place is?”
Donghuang Taiyi’s expression turned serious as a sense of dread surged within him. Just then, a chilling roar emanated from the distance, shaking the very space around them.
“It’s here! It’s coming!”
Donghuang Taiyi’s already pale face went ghostly white at the sound of that roar. It was the roar of Chiyou’s evil spirit!
“ROAR!”
Another deafening roar sounded, accompanied by the harsh clanking of chains. This time, the noise drew closer to their location. This was the site for suppressing Chiyou’s evil spirit.
What truly needed to be feared was not Donghuang Taiyi, but that Chiyou evil spirit!
As expected, Donghuang Taiyi’s face changed when he felt the arrival of Chiyou’s evil spirit. He glared at Li Mo, shouting, “Did you make all this noise just to lure it here?”
While the group was under attack from the white wandering souls, Li Mo had been attacking with all his might. Only when Donghuang Taiyi emerged from the shadows did he begin to clash with him.
Li Mo replied, unhurried, “You’ve been here for a whole month, not consumed by Chiyou’s evil spirit, relying presumably on that Soul Summoning Banner and the Soul Gathering Array. Now, you’re using them against us. I’m curious, what other tricks do you have to deal with Chiyou’s evil spirit, Lord Donghuang?”
Donghuang Taiyi fumed, wishing to tear Li Mo apart. If he withdrew the Soul Summoning Banner and the Soul Gathering Array, Li Mo would undoubtedly seize that chance to attack. But if he didn’t, once Chiyou’s evil spirit arrived, their situation would become even more dire.
“Are you not afraid it will kill you all too?”
Li Mo replied nonchalantly, “You’ve played around with Chiyou’s evil spirit for five hundred years. I think it wants to kill you more than us right now.”
Those words left Donghuang Taiyi speechless. Moreover, the current situation didn’t allow him much time for contemplation.
Chiyou’s evil spirit was charging towards them like a ferocious beast!
“Let you live a few more hours!”
Donghuang Taiyi shot a hateful glare at Li Mo and intended to recall the ghostly soldiers and withdraw the Soul Summoning Banner to escape. But Li Mo wasn’t about to let him have his way! A thunderbolt streaked toward him, interrupting his incantation.
“You’re asking for death!”
Donghuang Taiyi roared in rage, wanting nothing more than to rip apart the annoying Li Mo on the spot.
“It’s you who’s asking for death!”
From the darkness, a chilling roar echoed. Just then, with a crash, a chain as thick as a human’s waist hurtled toward Donghuang Taiyi. If struck, whether he survived or not, he’d definitely sustain serious injuries. Given the grave circumstances he faced, getting injured almost meant certain death.
Even a seasoned figure like Donghuang Taiyi felt a tightening in his chest as he cursed internally.
“Insidious specters!”
He shouted, and the Soul Gathering Array on his body emitted radiant red light. The numerous wandering souls entangled around the others immediately seemed to respond to a call, swirling toward Donghuang Taiyi.
They coalesced into a towering white wall before him.
Whoosh!
However, this white wall crumbled like tofu, obliterated in an instant by the assaulting chain. In that fleeting moment, Donghuang Taiyi found an opportunity to breathe.
The Soul Summoning Banner overhead flipped, revealing its other side. A blinding white light shot down from it, crashing onto the chain and dissipating its assault.
“That’s the power of the stars!”
Fei Yan said, furrowing her brows, instantly recognizing the implications. Donghuang Taiyi had researched the stars for a lifetime, yet somehow reached the point of harnessing stellar power!
The power of the stars, much like Li Mo’s thunderous force, was no longer bound by martial arts; it was a divine communication with heaven and earth. However, unlike Li Mo, who could wield thunder directly, Donghuang Taiyi had to rely on that banner.
This seemingly mundane banner was anything but ordinary. The front hid stellar forces, while the back could be forged into a Soul Summoning Banner. What kind of ordinary fabric could have such astonishing capabilities?
Indeed, just as everyone speculated about the origins of the banner, Chiyou’s evil spirit, still not yet revealed, roared from the shadows.
“The Yellow Emperor’s Shroud!”
