Chapter 2442 - 1421
Tang Feiyang didn’t know that the ghosts wanted to absorb their life force and seize their bodies.
They wanted to drive out their souls and take over their bodies, as the ghosts couldn’t cultivate bodies themselves, but that was not important.
For those who had already cultivated bodies, their main goal this time was to benefit from the opponent’s body, spells, and cultivation techniques.
Of course, some ghosts, whose abilities are not high, came not because they had to claim a share of the spoils.
They were being controlled and possibly just pawns or cannon fodder.
There’s a possibility they might be exterminated in battle.
No matter how powerful the ghosts are, when summoning these weaker pawns, they would be beyond their control.
The powerful ghosts summon these weaker ghosts to lead the charge and break through the obstacles ahead.
The obstacles ahead were not what they considered to be walls that could be passed through, but obstacles they couldn’t breach.
Perhaps this is a dilemma they have no way out of.
Some ghosts have found that this predicament requires a lot of effort before they can infiltrate bit by bit.
During the infiltration process, ghosts could get injured and their soul power might dissipate.
For the ghosts, soul power is their main cultivated ability.
The cultivation of soul power allows them to enhance their soul power not only from the essence of moonlight but also from the Nourishing Soul Flower in the black night.
Some ghosts, at the beginning, were not powerful cultivators, but weak cultivators, if powerful they wouldn’t have died.
If they were powerful, they wouldn’t have become pawns.
The reason they turned into ghosts, slowly gaining power, obviously depends on the Nourishing Soul Flower available in this space.
Of course, there are also newcomers, those weaker souls, from whom they absorb nutrients from their souls.
They haven’t completely ruled out absorbing nutrients from the souls of Demonic Beasts either.
When they found that absorbing such soul power from some weaker Demonic Beasts was unsuitable for their ghostly cultivation.
After all, most of them are human cultivators, and absorbing the ghosts of Demonic Beasts doesn’t significantly increase their strength.
Only by absorbing the Qi from the Nourishing Soul Flower can they continually solidify their soul power.
Only then can they stay here longer and slowly increase their strength.
In the Hell Palace to quickly improve their strength and solidify their form, only a few of the most powerful souls can achieve this.
The night is their main stage; at this moment, with the arrival of new Qi, they finally feel a rich fragrance.
This belongs to the human cultivators, and their opportunity has arrived.
The ten powerful ghosts went crazy, as did some other ghosts.
Not only do the ghosts here surround the human cultivators, but other cultivators have entered today, which these ghosts have already sensed, albeit unable to appear during the day.
The powerful ghosts that can appear haven’t yet reached the stage of dealing with so many human cultivators simultaneously.
At this moment, they utilize the advantageous conditions of the night to surround in large batches, exposing those human cultivators to the night.
They also had choices—how would they dare to besiege human cultivators who are much stronger than them?
They don’t approach at all, fearing that the opponent might unite to besiege them, scattering their souls.
In the beginning, ten ghosts were confident enough, attacking the barrier with their subordinates.
However, they discovered not just those weaker ghosts, even they, the corporeal ghosts, realized this barrier was their soul’s nemesis.
Refraining from attacking is somewhat better; but attacking, even a little, would cause the Qi permeated from the Formation to cause injuries.
Yet, if they don’t attack, they remain unwilling.
So these ten ghost cultivators with slightly higher abilities disregard the life and death of their companions.
After all, these weaker ghosts, even if their soul power decreases or perishes, are just pawns, sacrificed as necessary.
It’s different for them; let the pawns take the risk, and they reap the benefits.
The human cultivators who entered today boast a lot of strength.
Previously, the strength of this group wasn’t perceived as strong.
After all, a prior group of human cultivators was defeated by a monkey, and in combat with the monkey, this group failed too.
This confidence was what led the ghosts to battle, only to realize these humans’ main capability wasn’t dealing with Demonic Beasts.
It was facing these ghosts, and the weapons they employed were Mysticism and Feng Shui Formations.
They designed Feng Shui Formations to dissolve the soul power of both strong and weak ghosts trying to breach the barrier.
If the ghosts weren’t greedy, if they didn’t take the initiative to attack, nothing would be amiss.
Tang Feiyang and his group wouldn’t proactively attack these ghosts.
After setting up the formation, they noticed countless ghosts, their Ghost Flames illuminating the night sky.
If the Ghost Flames are this strong, it signifies their power is considerable.
Tang Feiyang and his companions knew that if they didn’t have aircraft or Spiritual Pets.
If they didn’t have Feng Shui Formation setting techniques, there would be no way to withstand such formidable ghosts.
And those evil spirits, have they become this powerful?
Judging from the Qi of these formidable evil spirits, without the Feng Shui design techniques, Tang Feiyang would likely have been defeated.
It’s now evident that their other skills are not without use.
