Chapter 1877: Ghostly Shadows

"Damn it, you ghostly thing, get the hell away from me!" Gu Tianque's roar echoed through the cave.

Gu Tianque and Gui Feng were locked in fierce combat within the cave.

Gu Tianque was slightly stronger, but it was no easy task to take down Gui Feng quickly.

On a stone platform deep in the cave, a fist-sized multicolored stone sat quietly.

Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed; that should be the Seven-Colored Nectar Stone.

Even from such a distance, Ye Yuan could feel the immense energy within it, which even seemed to alleviate his injuries somewhat.

"So this is the Seven-Colored Nectar Stone? Truly miraculous, no wonder even Celestial Lords covet it," Ye Yuan remarked.

As he spoke, powerful fluctuations came from behind—the Mad Blade Ghost Lord and the Demon Clan Celestial Lord had arrived.

Without hesitation, Ye Yuan stepped onto the stone platform.

"The Seven-Colored Nectar Stone is mine!" Gu Tianque's roar came from below.

Ye Yuan ignored him entirely and reached for the stone.

Gui Feng sneered, "You reckless fool! A mere Divine Lord dares to covet the Seven-Colored Nectar Stone!"

He knew that the stone platform was no safe place to casually take the stone.

Woo...

Before Ye Yuan's hand touched the stone, an intensely cold aura surged forth.

Countless ghosts howled and shrieked as they burst from the platform, lunging at Ye Yuan.

Each of these evil spirits was immensely powerful; even a True God would be torn to shreds.

This small stone platform was actually a den of ghosts!

Gu Tianque's face turned pale at the sight; even without Gui Feng pursuing him, if he had rashly taken the stone, his fate would have been no better.

Fortunately, Ye Yuan had now drawn out these fiends.

"Haha, the Seven-Colored Nectar Stone is mine!"

At that moment, Gu Tianque erupted, forcing Gui Feng back several steps.

Then, like lightning, he dashed toward the stone.

Gui Feng was startled, but it was too late to intercept.

But just then, a terrifying soul vortex erupted from Ye Yuan.

The fiends let out piercing screams, recoiling from Ye Yuan as if he were a monstrous beast.

Ye Yuan reached out and grabbed the Seven-Colored Nectar Stone.

The fiends, afraid to approach Ye Yuan, turned their fury on Gu Tianque, charging at him madly.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

At that moment, three overwhelmingly powerful auras burst into the cave—the three Celestial Lords!

"Heh heh, kid, where do you think you're running?" Qiao Yuan taunted.

"A mere Divine Lord actually blocked my punch—impressive! But this is where it ends. Hand over the Seven-Colored Nectar Stone!" Emon sneered.

The cave had only one exit, now completely blocked by the three Celestial Lords; there was no escape.

The other experts followed but kept their distance, not daring to approach.

The Mad Blade Ghost Lord's gaze also locked onto Ye Yuan, and he roared, "Boy, put down the Seven-Colored Nectar Stone!"

Ye Yuan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly laughed, saying to the two Celestial Venerable powerhouses, "When did I ever say I was going to run?"

Qiao Yuan was taken aback, then sneered, "Good that you're not running. It seems you've resigned yourself to fate! Hand over the Seven-Colored Glowstone, and I might spare your life!"

Ye Yuan laughed heartily upon hearing this, "You demons, each one as stupid as a pig, yet you think everyone else is as dumb as you? Spare my life? Do you think a three-year-old would fall for that trick?"

Qiao Yuan's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Brat, you're asking for it! I'll refine you into a demon slave and imprison your soul for a million years!"

Ye Yuan ignored him and said to the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable, "Come here. I'll give the Seven-Colored Glowstone only to you! And I can help you drive these two fools away!"

Qiao Yuan and the other burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha... boy, that joke is really funny. I'm about to die laughing," Qiao Yuan guffawed.

Not to mention them, even the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable himself didn't take Ye Yuan's words seriously.

But Ye Yuan's offer to hand over the Seven-Colored Glowstone to him still tempted him.

With a flicker of movement, he appeared before Ye Yuan.

An extremely cold and sinister aura emanated, nearly freezing Ye Yuan into a zombie.

The Ghost Venerable's yin energy was so heavy that ordinary powerhouses couldn't withstand it.

"Boy, hand over the Seven-Colored Glowstone," said the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable.

"Mad Blade, do you still remember me?" A voice directly transmitted into the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable's sea of consciousness, making him tremble.

"You... you are Lord Wuchen?" replied the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable.

Wuchen laughed, "Hehe, it is I!"

The Mad Blade Ghost Venerable's body shook violently. This aura was all too familiar; who else could it be but Wuchen?

How did the Celestial Venerable of Immortal Forest raise ghost path powerhouses?

With the Soul-Calming Pearl, of course!

This soul-type Celestial Venerable spiritual treasure was far superior to ordinary Celestial Venerable spiritual treasures.

It could be said that all the ghost path powerhouses here were trained by Wuchen himself.

"Th... that's wonderful! It's truly wonderful that you're safe, my lord!" The Mad Blade Ghost Venerable was extremely excited.

"Hehe, now is not the time for reminiscing. I'll possess you and teach those two demon Celestial Venerables a lesson," said Wuchen.

Without a moment's hesitation, the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable nodded, "Good! With Lord Wuchen making a move, those two bastards will surely die a miserable death!"

Suddenly, the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable's ghostly eyes snapped open, and his aura abruptly changed.

Qiao Yuan and Emon's expressions changed, sensing trouble.

They hadn't stopped the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable earlier because, no matter who held the Seven-Colored Glowstone, they would inevitably have to fight him.

All they needed to do was block the exit and prevent them from leaving.

With two against one, their chances of victory were very high.

As for Ye Yuan's claim that he could make the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable defeat them, they took it as a joke.

But now, they had a bad feeling.

"Emon, attack!" Qiao Yuan shouted fiercely, and together with Emon, they charged at the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable from both sides.

The Mad Blade Ghost Venerable sneered and roared, "Ghost Path Hundred Talismans... Ghost Shadows Myriad! Dark Annihilation Ghost Blade!"

In an instant, the Mad Blade Ghost Venerable transformed into countless clones, each with an immensely powerful aura.

Qiao Yuan and Emon's faces changed drastically as they pushed their demonic energy to the extreme.

Boom boom boom...

Countless blade shadows rained down, forming an impenetrable net of blades that sliced the entire space into fragments.

Qiao Yuan and Emon screamed in agony, their bodies flying backward as their demonic aura diminished significantly.

"Damn it! How could this happen!" Qiao Yuan struggled to get up, grinding his teeth.
