Chapter 674 Whose Garden is this wondrous palace? (Part 2)
Black Sun Ghost King stepped into the palace. His cultivation level was obviously the highest among the four Void Step Ghost Cultivators. Although he could not compare with the two great gods, Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor and Yin Yang Dharma King, he was still the highest among the four Void Step Ghost Cultivators.

Now that three Void-Step Ghost Cultivators have entered the fray, the entire Heavenly Palace is becoming increasingly majestic, with five more palaces distributed under Su Che. Its imposing presence is such that even the Eight-Armed Ghost King can only await his execution.

This dark sun just descended like that.

The Eight-Armed Demon King was half sighing with regret and half filled with resentment.

What is lamentable is the fate of ghost cultivators. No matter what level they reach, they may be captured and suppressed, becoming slaves.

What they resented was that the Black Sun Ghost King, who had the highest cultivation level, had actually become a pushover, lying down and letting others do as they pleased.

However, he had indeed misjudged the Black Sun Demon King's thoughts.

This Black Sun Ghost King is the most powerful ghost in Little Green Mountain, and can even be said to be the ancestor of the ghost cultivation lineage in Little Green Mountain. He has long been experienced in countless battles and has seen many storms.

He had long ago realized that Zuo Lengchan's true cultivation level was only at the Core Formation stage. The reason he could have such a majestic presence was probably because he relied on some kind of magical artifact that could refine ghosts.

With the help of that magic weapon, he forcibly pushed his own magical power to the level of immortality.

If they were to fight by force, although he was an old Bu Xu, he was still lacking in strength and might be worn down by Zuo Lengchan.

So it would be better to launch a surprise attack, first humbly enter the fray, and then, taking advantage of their unpreparedness, engage in a fierce battle, working together with the Eight-Armed Demon King outside.

But once he ascended to this majestic palace, the Black Sun Demon King secretly cried out in alarm.

The reason is simple: at the very core of this palace, there are two powerful auras far surpassing his own, one of which is even a genuine longevity level.

If even such a senior figure couldn't escape, how could I possibly escape his clutches?

This surprise was only one aspect; another was that once one stepped into this palace, an aura connected with oneself. In terms of its origin, that aura clearly spread from the fundamental principles of life and death, directly linking with oneself.

No matter how hard the Black Sun Demon King tried to dodge and maneuver, he couldn't escape its entanglement. It was firmly locked at the root, completely connected to his own.

What does this mean?
This shows that the man surnamed Zuo's attainments and cultivation in the art of life and death far surpass those of my own Bu Xu.

Heaven have mercy, is there anywhere to seek justice here?
He was clearly just a Core Formation cultivator who hadn't even grasped the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man, yet he understood the laws of life and death better than I, a mere Void Step cultivator.

How can this make sense?
Even though the Black Sun Ghost King was unwilling in every way, he had no choice but to become one with that energy and become a prisoner in this magnificent palace.

In the blink of an eye, three of the four great ghost kings that blotted out the sky were gone. At this moment, the cultivators in Wushi City looked at each other in bewilderment. Apart from the pressure, they could only bow down to him, but their thoughts were in turmoil.

The Great Taoist Master Dawu did not know who this extraordinary person was, and worried that these seventy-two kingdoms would become a hunting ground for other forces.

Shi Meng was utterly dejected, knowing that all his schemes were worthless in the face of such a disparity in strength.

Fang Huan, on the other hand, felt a sense of fear.

This time, it wasn't a case of Flying Crow City annexing Tiger Roar Hall; it was more like their own sheep being led into the tiger's den.

Su Che, atop the palace, naturally had no time to concern himself with their schemes.

At this moment, the entry of the three Void Demon Kings into the palace meant that Su Che could proceed with the next step.

Of course, the first thing to deal with is the Eight-Armed Demon King who is still observing from below.

Young Master Su extended his finger and flicked it lightly in the air.

A soft sword cry echoed in the sky.

This single burst represents the pinnacle of Su Che's current supernatural abilities.

Guided by the sword intent of creation and the string of life and death, the movement of the sword is the sound of death.

This is known as "Surprising Sword Finger". The vast magical power merged into an invisible sword intent, gently cutting between heaven and earth, transforming into a deathly intent that annihilates everything, descending upon the Eight-Armed Ghost King.

All his cultivation and past achievements have now vanished into nothingness.

Under the absolute power, the Eight-Armed Ghost King's body, which had been tempered and refined over countless trials, cracked instantly.

Although his physical body remained, his innate spirit had been obliterated by Su Che's sword intent.

One finger and the spirit is extinguished.

The deathly intent carried by this finger burst forth from within the Eight-Armed Ghost King, like a spreading wildfire, burning away any trace of his existence from the inside out.

The physical body no longer exists, and the eight arms have perished.

With a single finger, Su Che reduced the Void Cultivator to nothing.

At this moment, the Black Sun Demon King, already inside the palace, could only feel fear.

Although the two ghosts, Howling Wind Ghost King and Purple Hidden Impermanence, were still in a daze, Black Sun Ghost King saw everything clearly.

The Eight-Armed Ghost King is an anomaly among the ghost cultivators of Little Green Mountain. The toughness of his physical body and the solidity of his foundation far surpass any other ghost cultivator.

This is all because his roots lie in the west. That terrifying sword intent could annihilate the Eight-Armed Demon King…

When did the Vidyaraja Dharma of Western Buddhism become so worthless?
The Black Sun Demon King temporarily abandoned any other thoughts and sat firmly in the palace.

Zuo Lengchan's move can be seen as a warning.

He doesn't really need them that much; if they don't do what he wants, he'll kill them without hesitation.

The Black Sun Demon King could only let out a long sigh.

It's truly a case of ten thousand years of cultivation coming to nothing.

Su Che, currently residing high in the palace, naturally had different thoughts from those of the Black Sun Ghost King.

The reason is simple: at this moment, Young Master Su has no intention of refining any more ghost cultivators.

The palaces in the sky above are arranged according to the five elements, and their structure is absolutely perfect.

The self-reliant lord resides at the highest position, below him is the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor in the north, guarding the northern water position. The Yin-Yang Dharma King is in the west, guarding the western metal position. The Black Sun Ghost King is in the south, suppressed to the southern fire position. The Howling Wind Ghost King is in the center, guarding the central earth position. The Purple Hidden Impermanence is in the east, still in his eastern wood position.

If the Eight-Armed Ghost King is captured, it will inevitably affect the arrangement of his subordinates.

This arrangement cannot generate other variables on its own. Because the next step is the most important.

Su Che was to escort the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor and the Yin-Yang Dharma King away.

At this moment, the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor and the Yin-Yang Dharma King have also been "refined" by Ruomu, and Su Che intends to let them go.

Ruomu is an innate spiritual root of life and death, representing the perfection of the law of life and death.

From this perspective, anyone who is not a fully accomplished Earth Immortal or a master of the Tribulation Techniques will be restrained by this Ruomu tree, and their spirits will be "nurtured" or controlled by it.

Therefore, Su Che felt only boundless gratitude for the fact that the Ghost Ancestor of Beimang and the Yin-Yang Dharma King were able to use this method.

These two have risked their lives and fortunes to help themselves succeed.

Because if anything goes wrong even for a moment, they will be bound to this Ruomu tree forever, just like themselves, with no freedom left.
