Chapter 166 – The Century-long Scheme of the Black Cloaked Figure


The kasaya obscured the entire heaven and earth.

Countless members of the Ghost Clan below watched this scene, their faces filled with fear. They could feel an astonishingly oppressive power emanating from this Buddha figure, and it reminded them of the power of the two Buddha Lords from countless years ago, atop the Sky-Overturning Ghost City, which had also instilled such fear in them.

The Buddha light from the kasaya filled the sky, as if it intended to suppress them all beneath it.

From beneath the kasaya, countless raindrops erupted, pouring down in an instant!

The power of the raindrops was like bullets, piercing through the countless Ghost Clan members below. The power of the raindrops was beyond imagination, even the Ghost Clan members at the peak of their power couldn’t withstand it for long, and they vanished like smoke.

The human powerhouses were all extremely excited.

With this Buddha’s Treasure, they were secure.

Even Li Changqing hadn’t expected that the Dharma Sea he had carved would have such powerful force.

It was truly a pleasant surprise.

At this moment, the Dharma Sea was causing the entire Ghost Clan to wail and cry, falling one after another.

Even Zhao Juezong was somewhat terrified by this scene. He quickly looked at the Black Cloaked Figure beside him and hurriedly asked, “Master, this person has a Buddha’s Treasure, what should we do?”

Who knew that the Black Cloaked Figure was still sitting there calmly, not flustered at all, and just laughed, “It’s okay, let him kill if he likes to kill. I underestimated this Qinglian Sword Sovereign. I wonder what his background is and what his relationship with the disappeared Buddha Sect is?”

The Buddha statue was suppressing all the ghosts below, and the Ghost Clan army was visibly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone saw hope.

They should be able to survive.

The giant Buddha shadow was their savior.

However, just when they thought everything was secure, the Buddha shadow trembled all over, followed by the sound of something cracking.

Everyone was stunned to find that the Buddha shadow was covered in cracks.

The next moment, it shattered into pieces.

Before they could understand what was happening, the Buddha statue exploded with a bang. The Buddha light kasaya in the sky also slowly disappeared, everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened just now.

The wooden carving in the deep pit also completely shattered, broken into pieces, and there was no more movement.

This made everyone’s face change.

What happened?

Seeing this, Li Changqing was also stunned, but then he remembered that this Dharma Sea wooden carving was carved out of ordinary wood after he came to this world.

The Spiritual Power contained within it was limited. Just now, it had killed so many members of the Ghost Clan and had exhausted its limit, so it exploded directly.

Not surprising at all.

However, fortunately, the Dharma Sea statue just now had eliminated a lot of the Ghost Clan. Although there were still quite a few Ghost Clan members left, the human disciples had the power to fight.

“What a pity!”

“The senior Qinglian Sword Sovereign has wasted such a good Painting Treasure to give us a chance to survive. From now on, we have to rely on ourselves!”

“Kill, we can’t waste the precious Buddha’s Treasure of Qinglian Sword Sovereign!”

At this moment, everyone looked at Li Changqing, moved to tears. Such a precious Buddha’s Treasure was destroyed. This thing was worth a city! For their lives, Qinglian Sword Sovereign was so righteous!

Clearly, with this Buddha’s Treasure, Qinglian Sword Sovereign could leave here alone, without having to muddy the waters with them. But Qinglian Sword Sovereign didn’t. He sacrificed such a precious treasure for the human race, for them, to protect their lives!

They felt that they owed Qinglian Sword Sovereign a life!

One by one, they looked at Li Changqing with tearful eyes.

Little did they know that Li Changqing could make one of these in an afternoon, but of course, Li Changqing wouldn’t say it out loud.

Yes, this is a Buddha’s Treasure!

This is a very precious Buddha’s Treasure.

This is my family heirloom!

I’ll move you to tears!

At this moment, everyone once again raised their weapons. There were still so many members of the Ghost Clan, they were going to fight!

As soon as the words fell, everyone roared, and the battle broke out again.

At this moment, Li Changqing suddenly thought of something. He reached out his hand and took out a thin rope from his neck, on which was tied a small Buddha statue.

This Buddha statue was carved before he came here, and he hung it around his neck for safety.

Li Changqing couldn’t help but think of Mu Qingge, who also had a statue of the Earth Store Bodhisattva on her body.

Both he and Mu Qingge didn’t feel suppressed when they entered this Ghost Devil, and even when they killed the weaker Ghost Clan members, they weren’t sanctioned. It was as if they were exempt from the rules.

Thinking about it now, could it be because they had Buddha power on them?

In that case, as long as they had this thing on them, they could resist the rules of the Ghost Devil here?

Then the rules of this Ghost Devil should have been balanced by the two Buddha Lords back then.

Li Changqing felt that his thoughts should be correct.

In this way, he should be able to use his power without restriction here, and he could also kill whoever he wanted to kill without restriction.

“Die for me!”

Li Changqing saw Yan Zhentao, who was still struggling in his Seven Kills Green Lotus Sword Formation, and roared!

The Seven Kills Green Lotus Sword Formation instantly changed, the seven swords became even sharper, and the Sword Formation formed a domain of its own. Countless sword auras swept like a long river, even sparking on Yan Zhentao’s body!

Yan Zhentao’s momentum had obviously weakened at this moment, after all, the blood of the Ghost Lord was also being consumed.

He couldn’t break out of Li Changqing’s Seven Kills Green Lotus Sword Formation, and his injuries were getting more and more severe. The boost from the Ghost Lord’s blood was also slowly weakening!

At this moment, Yan Zhentao was vomiting blood in large mouthfuls!Li Changqing pointed his finger, and seven flying swords converged into one, like a rainbow piercing the sun, directly blasting Yan Zhentao to death.

Yan Zhentao’s sternum was shattered.

He looked at his chest in disbelief, and his eyes also regained some clarity.

Then he turned his head to look at the Black Cloaked Figure, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say anything anymore. There was a plea in Yan Zhentao’s eyes, and he reached out his hand with difficulty, trying to reach the Black Cloaked Figure.

However, the Black Cloaked Figure didn’t even look at Yan Zhentao, still watching the battle between the humans and the Ghost Clan with interest.

It seemed that the death of Yan Zhentao, a Grandmaster, meant nothing to him.

Thud.

Yan Zhentao’s body fell directly to the ground.

“It’s your turn.”

Li Changqing looked at the Black Cloaked Figure. At this moment, seven swords had surrounded the Black Cloaked Figure, aiming at him. As long as Li Changqing pointed his finger, the Black Cloaked Figure would be shot into a sieve by Li Changqing’s flying swords.

However, facing such a trap, the Black Cloaked Figure didn’t care at all. It was an attitude of fearlessness.

Even his sitting posture didn’t change.

“Qinglian Sword Sovereign is really capable.” The Black Cloaked Figure said with interest: “You possess the Buddha’s Treasure, have great strength, and can control seven Divine Weapons. It’s a pity if such a talent like you is wasted. Why not join my Longevity Sect?”

“As long as you are willing to join my Longevity Sect and serve us, no matter what your future wishes are, our Longevity Sect can fulfill them.”

“Heh.” Li Changqing sneered.

“You don’t believe it?” The Black Cloaked Figure said indifferently: “What our Longevity Sect is doing is changing the entire structure of the Cangyuan Realm. I can understand if you don’t understand now. As long as you are willing to join, and know the goal of our Longevity Sect, you can have whatever you want in the future.”

“As a person from the 20th century, do I need you to draw me a pie?” Li Changqing said disdainfully: “Your pie-drawing skills are really lacking. Do you want me to train you?”

“Draw what?” The Black Cloaked Figure was a bit confused.

“Nothing, I don’t think you’ll have the chance for me to train you anymore. You can go to die now.” After speaking, Li Changqing pointed his finger, and the seven swords blasted down, intertwining sword auras, as if to annihilate this entire space!

Zhao Juezong was already prepared. His Void Green Snake Diagram made a move, and the figures of the two disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the next moment they appeared several miles away.

But at the same time, Zhao Juezong really had no true essence left.

“Is it useful?” Li Changqing looked into the distance: “Zhao Juezong has no power left, where can you run?”

“Run?”

“Why should I run? It’s just that Zhao Juezong, this fool, made his own decision.”

The Black Cloaked Figure actually slowly stood up from the chair at this moment, and then murmured: “It should be almost time.”

“What’s almost time?”

Li Changqing frowned, this Black Cloaked Figure seemed to have some other tricks up his sleeve.

The Black Cloaked Figure slowly raised his hands, and then gently clapped his hands. The loud sound directly suppressed all the shouts of killing!

It was like a thunderbolt in the sky.

At the same time, the sound of the entire world seemed to have disappeared.

The fighting Ghost Clan also suddenly stopped moving.

The human disciples took the opportunity to kill the Ghost Clan in front of them.

However, the human experts frowned and looked around. They tried to speak, but found that they couldn’t make a sound. It seemed that something incredible had happened in this world.

Everyone’s actions also slowly stopped.

There was a look of confusion in their eyes, because the scene before them was truly shocking.

Centered on them, the sky in all directions was as if it had been dyed with blood, and large patches of red dyed the world red.

Even the sunlight was red.

Even Li Changqing was shocked by the scene before him. He didn’t know what the Black Cloaked Figure had done, but he knew it was definitely not a good thing.

At this moment, Li Changqing had a very bad feeling in his heart.

A sense of oppression was on his mind, and he suddenly felt that the previous attempts by the Longevity Sect to annihilate them, and even the countless Ghost Clan wanting to kill them, were not the main purpose.

And now was the main purpose of the Longevity Sect.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

At this moment, from the countless corpses on the ground, whether they were from the Ghost Clan or the human race, a force like a soul flew out.

The force gathered above the sky, like a rainstorm falling in reverse.

Finally, it gathered into a huge black light ball in the sky.

There were too many corpses on the ground, and even countless breaths flew from afar. They also gathered into the light ball.

The light ball got bigger and bigger, and it was gathering a heart-shaking power.

As the light ball gathered, the power between heaven and earth became heavier and heavier, and everyone could only watch this scene helplessly.

After a while, all the breaths in the corpses were gathered into it, and the sound of this world was restored at this moment.

“Blood Pool Soul Condensation Array!”

Zhang Muzhi shouted loudly, his eyes full of fear.

Hearing the name of this array, all the strong people present changed their colors. They had naturally heard of this array.

This array was extremely cruel. It used the array to collect the souls of the dead, and then used them for other evil purposes.

At this moment, everyone finally understood. The Longevity Sect let them fight with the Ghost Clan, no matter how many people the Ghost Clan killed, the Longevity Sect didn’t care. That’s because the Longevity Sect needed to increase the number of corpses, and then extract their souls for the Blood Pool Soul Condensation Array.One could say that the battles between the human race and the Ghost Clan were all in preparation for the grand formation of the Longevity Sect.

“How spectacular.”

At this moment, the Black Cloaked Figure looked at the countless souls gathering in the sky, commenting with admiration.

“Little ants.” The Black Cloaked Figure looked at everyone and laughed, “You should thank yourselves for helping me gather so many souls. Now, let’s welcome the arrival of a new friend.”

With that, the Black Cloaked Figure pointed his finger.

The massive soul energy in the sky fell directly into the imperial city!

Boom!

With the loud noise, the entire Ghost Devil began to shake!

Everyone nearly fell to the ground at this moment.

“What’s happening?”

“What’s going on?”

The shaking caused many buildings in the Sky-Overturning Ghost City to collapse.

At this moment, Li Changqing felt a powerful and boundless aura slowly rising, like the rising sun at dawn.

It was a terrifying aura, mixed with death and even despair.

In an instant, a strong wind blew, almost blinding everyone.

At the same time, a sense of terror rose in everyone’s hearts!

Whether they were disciples or experts from the Eastern Desolate Land, they all felt a great sense of terror at this moment.

This fear seemed to have been in their hearts for a long time, and was now summoned by this mysterious power.

What could possibly cause them such fear?

Even Zhao Juezong, standing next to the Black Cloaked Figure, looked forward in astonishment. The ground of the imperial city had collapsed, and a black hole had appeared on the ground where the many soul forces had fallen.

And the boundless terrifying power was seeping out from that black hole.

It was as if a sleeping ancient beast was about to awaken.

The Black Cloaked Figure watched this scene with a smile. This was his goal.

Everything before was just a prelude. This was his ultimate goal for coming to the Ghost Devil at all costs.

Whoosh!

The strong wind blew so hard that everyone could hardly open their eyes!

Even at this moment, the Buddhist verses posted on the city gate of the Sky-Overturning Ghost City were trembling wildly, as if they could be blown away at any moment.

This Sky-Overturning Ghost City seemed like a resurrection of countless ghosts.

Countless ghostly auras came from all directions, from countless Ghost Clan members, perhaps tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, too many to count.

“What is that?”

People could hardly believe their eyes.

From the huge black hole in the imperial city, a gigantic object emerged!

The gigantic object was like a mountain, several times larger than the airship of Guanglan Palace.

In front of this gigantic object, everyone was as insignificant as a grain of sand in the sea.

“A coffin?”

Upon seeing this huge object, Li Changqing was shocked to find that it was a gigantic coffin.

He had never seen a coffin as big as a mountain before.

And around the coffin, there were chains, each chain binding a figure. These people hung their heads low, completely lifeless.

From their attire, they should all be members of the Ghost Clan.

And they should all be quite powerful.

Looking around, there were twelve in total!

Even though they seemed to be dead, the aura they exuded was still shocking.

But what was even more shocking was the person inside the coffin.

Just this coffin alone seemed to press a mountain onto the hearts of all the humans.

It was a feeling of despair that one would only have when facing a peerless powerhouse.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the coffin.

Many people had already guessed who the owner of this coffin was.

“That’s the stone coffin of the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord!”

Li Jinsong said in shock, “The rumors were right. The stone coffin of the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord is as big as a mountain, especially with the twelve guardians of the Sky-Overturning Ghost City buried with him! These twelve guardians were all confidants of the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord, and their cultivation levels were almost all at the Great Martial Sect level!”

“All at the Great Martial Sect level?”

Upon hearing this news, people could hardly believe their ears.

Was the strength of the Sky-Overturning Ghost City back then too terrifying?

Such terrifying strength was defeated by the Cold Chisel Ancient Temple, which only showed that the strength of the Cold Chisel Ancient Temple was even more formidable. The two Buddha Lords fought against the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord.

They had only read about this scene in books, but now, just feeling the aura of this coffin, they could imagine how fierce that battle must have been.

But… what was even more terrifying was, what was the Longevity Sect doing with the coffin of the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord?

What was their purpose?

“Your goal in the Longevity Sect is the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord, isn’t it?” Li Jinsong stared at the Black Cloaked Figure and said, “But what’s the use of bringing out a dead person?”

“A dead person?”

Upon hearing this word, the Black Cloaked Figure laughed, “You are mere mortals, how can you understand the meaning of a land immortal? To kill a land immortal is almost impossible. Once one reaches this realm, there are ways to become immortal!”

“Even if the two Buddha Lords joined forces back then, they could defeat the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord, but they couldn’t kill him. Otherwise, why do you think the two Buddha Lords sealed up the Sky-Overturning Ghost City? Who do you think the Buddhist verses on the city gate are sealing?”The Black Cloaked Figure laughed, “Not only is the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord still alive, but these twelve guardians are also alive. Our Longevity Sect has arranged this for the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord. Now, thanks to the souls you all have provided, and the precious souls provided by others from your sect before you, we have finally gathered enough power to resurrect the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord for our use.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

What did he mean?

Did it mean that even the predecessors from their sect who came to the Ghost Devil for trials were also making wedding clothes for the Longevity Sect?

If so, hadn’t the Longevity Sect existed for a long time?

How many years had it existed?

Had their sects been completely unaware of its existence?

Seeing the stunned expressions on everyone’s faces, the Black Cloaked Figure sneered, “How could mere mortals like you understand the workings of our Longevity Sect? Let me show you what real power is.”

“Rise!”

The Black Cloaked Figure shouted.

The massive coffin began to tremble again, slowly rising from the black hole. At the same time, a fierce wind swept across all directions, its power astonishing.

The Buddhist verse on the gate of the Sky-Overturning Ghost City seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.

It was directly blown away by the wind!

An endless terror descended instantly with the disappearance of the Buddhist verse!

It was a kind of dimension-reducing power.

A pair of eyes appeared in everyone’s minds.

Those eyes, from slumber… slowly opened!

A king.

Was awakening.

“Come out.” The Black Cloaked Figure’s voice was somewhat excited, “The hundreds of years of planning by our Longevity Sect culminate at this moment. Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord, let me see your peak strength…”

“Stop dreaming…”

At this moment, Li Changqing stepped forward, his gaze as sharp as a sword, his voice as loud as a bell.

He knew that if the Sky-Overturning Ghost Lord really came out.

No one here would be able to resist!

Some people were dead, but not completely dead…
