Chapter 1407 - 1309: The Ghost Slayer’s Plot!
"Yang Tian, put the Ancient Ark away. It’s too important. Other than the few of us, it’s best that no one else knows about it!"
Wu Jie said seriously.
Yang Tian nodded.
In this hall, aside from the Demon Emperor, Li Min, and Asura Qian’Er, all the Martial Artists who knew about the Ancient Ark were already dead.
He stored the Ancient Ark into the Weed Ring.
The hall was deathly silent.
The Domain Lord and countless Star Lords were already dead, and the hall that had once been splendid and magnificent now seemed cold and deserted.
Yang Tian leaped up, floating in the center of the hall.
He circulated his powerful Divine Breath and pressed down.
Bang!
The entire hall burst into flames, and the words on those Spiritual Tablets were all altered.
Originally, the inscriptions on these tablets held the information of the various Star Lords, but all of that was erased.
"From now on, I am the Domain Lord of this Ghost Realm!"
Yang Tian said coldly.
His voice traveled through the Spiritual Tablets and spread throughout the entire Ghost Realm.
This Ghost Realm was the equivalent of the Milky Way of the Human Realm. The Ghost Stars within were without number, and every Ghost Star ruled over the Wraiths of a particular race.
For example, after people of Huaxia die, they will enter the Ghost Star under the jurisdiction of King Yama.
After Westerners die, they enter the Ghost Star under the jurisdiction of the Death God.
Every Ghost Star had its corresponding authority structure. Aside from the Star Lord being killed, there were also many Authority Holders. After they heard Yang Tian’s voice, each of them flared up in rage: "Who is this? What right does he have to rule us? Where is the Domain Lord?"
"My name is Yang Tian. From today on, whether you are lonely wandering ghosts or Ox Head and Horse Face, there is only one person you will worship—and that is me!"
Yang Tian pressed his hand down.
In an instant, within the entire hall, every Spiritual Tablet was branded with his name.
These Spiritual Tablets were precisely the channels that linked to each Ghost Star.
After one tablet after another was inscribed with Yang Tian’s name, the entire Ghost Realm became Yang Tian’s turf.
Official Ghosts on every Ghost Star were terrified.
Because they felt their authority to control the Wraiths disappearing.
"Notify the Ghost King immediately!" Faces went pale with shock. "This Yang Tian is likely the criminal spoken of in the legends of the Seven Realms. He killed the Asura Emperor and stands against the Seven Realms. We must notify the Ghost King at once!"
These Official Ghosts all sent messages toward the very center of the Ghost Realm.
Except the entire Ghost Realm was already under Yang Tian’s control.
No information could be transmitted out.
From the outside, everything inside seemed normal.
But within, the world had already been turned upside down.
"Yang Tian has already taken control of the entire Ghost Realm. The only thing we can do now is to gather the Martial Artists of all Ghost Stars and go kill this Yang Tian!"
Very quickly, a massive army was thus formed.
Official Ghosts from all Ghost Stars mobilized, spontaneously forming a vast army that surged mightily toward the star at the very center...
"Reporting to the Domain Lord, all Ghost Stars have dispatched powerful Official Ghosts, forming a vast army that is charging in this direction to kill!"
A panicked voice rang out.
"Oh?"
Yang Tian smiled.
His existence challenged the authority of every Ghost Star, so the Official Ghosts within them would naturally form an army to oppose him.
Yet he had been able to directly erase even the Domain Lord—how could these Official Ghosts possibly stand against him?
"Let them come."
Yang Tian said coldly.
...
Ghost Slayer was still in the same hell as before, continually refining the Seven Spirit Tower of Slaughter. But his strength had already been grievously weakened; there was simply no way for him to increase the Mana of the Seven Spirit Tower of Slaughter in a short time.
A piece of news spread throughout the entire Ghost Realm.
It was that Yang Tian had killed the Domain Lord, and that millions of Ghost Stars had dispatched elite troops to fight against Yang Tian.
"Yang Tian has already killed the Domain Lord?"
Ghost Slayer rose to his feet and laughed. "Yang Tian is the criminal of the Seven Realms—anyone may strike him down. But he could kill even the Asura Emperor. How could a mere Domain Lord possibly be his match?"
Ghost Slayer knew his chance had come.
"As long as countless ghosts form up to attack Yang Tian, I can use Yang Tian to forge the Seven Spirit Tower of Slaughter!"
Excitement filled Ghost Slayer’s eyes.
Once the Seven Spirit Tower of Slaughter was forged, it would become the most powerful Ghost Artifact in the entire Ghost Realm.
He had only refrained from doing this up to now.
After all, he was the founding Ghost God of the Ghost Realm. If he truly did such a thing, he would likely incur the disdain of the entire Ghost Realm.
That was not something he wished to see.
But he could rely on this connection with Yang Tian, using him to slaughter all the ghosts. After absorbing these ghosts, the Seven Spirit Tower of Slaughter would naturally take shape!
Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with ecstasy.
His figure flickered and vanished.
Very soon he arrived at the very center of this Ghost Realm. This was a stretch of void; the true Central Ghost Star was hidden in the darkness.
But to Ghost Slayer, any concealment was meaningless.
With a light wave of his hand, he entered the Central Ghost Star. His body twisted and transformed into a Ghost Soldier.
On the ground, a large number of Ghost Soldiers and Generals had already been assembled; all were loyal subordinates who followed Yang Tian. Ghost Slayer blended in among them, eyes full of anticipation: "Soon I’ll be able to forge the Seven Spirit Tower of Slaughter!"
"Yang Tian, the army of the Ghost Realm will arrive soon."
Wu Jie came to Yang Tian’s side.
Yang Tian nodded. "When the fighting starts, we must end it swiftly. As long as we kill the Superiors among them, these Official Ghosts will naturally kneel to me!"
"You intend to rule the Ghost Realm, so you naturally cannot slaughter too many."
Wu Jie also agreed with Yang Tian’s plan.
Soon, peals of thunder rolled through heaven and earth.
Yang Tian looked out beyond the Star Realm and saw wave after wave of Ghost Soldiers pouring in. They formed battle formations in the void, shouting nonstop, "Criminal of the Seven Realms, come out!"
These Official Ghosts naturally could not see the existence of the Central Ghost Star.
But they possessed powerful Ghost Artifacts!
Ghost soul soldiers pulled out instruments, playing strands of ghostly music that gathered in midair and formed a massive vortex.
The vortex spun, constantly drawing the Central Star from the void.
"The ground is moving! They’ve found us!"
Faces of many Ghost Soldiers and Generals changed dramatically.
"They think a mere Ghost Artifact can drag us out? Utterly laughable!"
Yang Tian sneered.
His figure flickered as he retreated outward, arriving before the vortex; with a single palm strike, he shattered it.
A powerful surge of Ghost Breath blasted outward in all directions.
Official Ghosts from all across the Ghost Realm were sent flying backward by the shock. By the time they regained their original positions, a powerful figure had already appeared in midair.
"You are the criminal of the Seven Realms?!"
An elderly man flew out, staring coldly at Yang Tian.
He was the Domain Lord’s trusted subordinate, the one who usually traveled to the various Ghost Stars to carry out official duties.
"That’s right, I am the criminal of the Seven Realms."
Yang Tian said calmly.
"Immediately hand over the Domain Lord and the many Star Lords. If you don’t, today will be the day you die!"
The old man said icily.
"Hand them over? Sorry, I can’t do that."
Yang Tian shook his head.
"Beast, why can’t you?! The Domain Lord is the ruler of this Ghost Realm, whereas you are nothing!"
The old man roared furiously.
"The reason I can’t is because I’ve already killed them all. Even their souls are dead. How could I possibly hand them over?"
Yang Tian laughed.
"What?!! You killed them all?!!"
In the void, the faces of one Official Ghost after another changed dramatically...
