Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 626 Exterminating Ghosts
Countless demonic spirits surged into the gourd-shaped jade pot like a raging torrent. The pot spun around, its body shimmering with dazzling light and colors. The five small spheres on the pot's walls shimmered with five different colors: crimson, emerald green, orange-yellow, silver-white, and jet black. Five figures could be faintly seen dancing and circling within the spheres.

【Demon Refining Pot】: A treasure of the aquatic race, a divine artifact of Nuwa, and one of the remnants of the ancient snake race. It possesses incredible power and is said to be able to refine all kinds of demons and exotic beasts, making them the pot owner's vassals or cultivation resources.

Hundreds of years ago, the Black Emperor's Juice Light Chronicle obtained it by chance, and it later became an important medium for the Netherworld Ghost Emperor to cultivate the [Great Art of Controlling Gods and Ghosts].

Boom! ! !
Perhaps sensing Qin Huai's approach, the five-colored light in the Demon Refining Pot suddenly burst and exploded, causing the pot to tremble violently. The chaotic and colorful light in the pot's center suddenly transformed into five beams of light: red, orange, green, white, and black. These beams spun and danced, then shot into the five-colored spheres on the pot's wall like lightning.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying suction force at the spout that had been drawing in demonic spirits suddenly reversed, bulging out a dazzling white light that could blind anyone, instantly forming a fierce and incomparable shockwave that roared and exploded, rushing toward Qin Huai at breakneck speed.

"Disperse!"

The colorful Qi gathered at the soles of his feet, dividing into the five elements. Qin Huai was like a nail, deeply embedded in the torrent of white light, bringing Yu Shi Qie closer to the side of the jade pot.

The crystal-made Demon-Refining Pot was enormous, with a diameter of about a hundred zhang (approximately 33 meters). Its walls contained five spheres, each no less than five zhang (approximately 33 meters) in diameter. Colorful light shimmered and reflected on the pot's walls, creating a mottled and beautiful effect.

Qin Huai's gaze lingered on the teapot for a moment before he felt bewildered and agitated. He immediately recited a calming mantra and looked into the nearest small sphere.

Inside the dark, black crystal sphere, a tall, thin figure sat quietly, spinning at varying speeds, with deep, mysterious light swirling around him and pouring into his head.

"The city lord of Aotai City, Shan Ang? I didn't expect even he to have fallen into the ghost realm."

Yu Shiqie's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she recognized the minor god-level expert who had once been a prominent figure in the aquatic tribe but later disappeared without a trace.

Qin Huai circled the Demon Refining Pot and discovered that each of the five crystal balls contained a minor deity who had once stirred up a storm in the Great Wilderness. Their cultivation was at least three thousand years. Although they had become vengeful ghosts due to the corruption of their primordial spirits, they were still terrifying beings at the level of ghost kings and should not be underestimated.

Below the Demon Refining Pot, there was a vast expanse of chilling, eerie mist, like a secluded well filled with water vapor. Thousands of demonic spirits and fierce souls rushed out from the white haze, forming a river, which was then swallowed up by the Demon Refining Pot.

Qin Huai stared intently, and through the colorful spiritual light and vast fog below, he could see a dark, deep cave at the bottom of the ravine. Countless demonic spirits and fierce souls spewed out of that cave, howling and screaming as they fled upwards.

The blood-red waterfalls from all sides rushed to the bottom of the ravine, colliding and surging towards the black hole. They were then struck by the colorful light of the thousands of demonic spirits, instantly turning into a vast, colorful fog.

“Lu Tianshen, the Netherworld Ghost Emperor should be inside the pot right now. He used his clone to fight me earlier because he had probably reached a critical stage in cultivating his Mind-Controlling and Ghost-Controlling Technique, and could not allow any accidents to happen. That’s why he wasted his energy fighting me. But I didn’t expect Lu Tianshen to suddenly descend. All his plans and schemes will probably be in vain.”

Yu Shiqie looked at the spout of the pot that had previously emitted a terrifying suction force and said to Qin Huai.

"I'm not afraid of him being here, I'm afraid of him not being here. Would the Dragon Princess like to come inside with me for a look?"

"I can't ask for it."

"Then let's go!"

Qin Huai laughed heartily, then suddenly leaped into the air. The Five Elements Millstone stood in front of them, and when he reached the mouth of the jade pot, he suddenly felt a fierce gust of cold wind. The force reversed, and an incredibly powerful vortex suddenly sucked him into the pot.

Kakakka~
Amidst howling and wailing, and with immense force tearing apart, Qin Huai's protective aura rippled outwards, while the countless stars swirling around Yu Shi Qie's body shone brightly, managing to withstand the sudden, chilling attack.

"With such a protective treasure, it seems that Emperor Tuoba dotes on his dragon consort very much."

Upon realizing that Yu Shiqie, who had only three thousand years of cultivation, could move freely under the terrifying pressure that even the peak of the Seven Palaces would find difficult to overcome, Qin Huai's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but feel that the mysterious death of Emperor Tuoba was becoming increasingly suspicious.

If even the Dragon Consort and Rain Master Concubine possess such a protective treasure, would Emperor Tuoba, a divine emperor, lack similar treasures?
How elusive!

Qin Huai shook his head slightly, and the Five Elements Millstone suddenly thrust forward, momentarily blocking the terrifying suction force.

In the next instant, the two were flashed away from the combined attack of immense force, their colorful Qi energy and blazing starlight surging and intertwining to form a protective light shield enveloping them.

Qin Huai gazed intently around, where colorful lights shimmered and countless bubbles floated in the air. Within each bubble, a fetus-like object curled up, each color a different shade: crimson, orange-yellow, emerald green, silver-white, and jet black—presumably the spirits and ghosts of the five races. The bubbles scattered and swayed in the air; their luster reflected each other, radiating countless brilliant rays of light.

The interior of the jade pot was extremely spacious, and from afar, one could see the smooth and lustrous jade pot walls spinning rapidly, shimmering with a faint silver light as they connected to the five small spheres, creating a dazzling and hazy spectacle.

At the very center of the space, there was a black-clad figure whose silhouette radiated a deep, blood-red hue.

Perhaps sensing Qin Huai's uninvited guest, the figure suddenly burst forth with true energy, radiating black light as it flew and crashed against the pot wall.

The pot's walls trembled violently, flashing with dazzling white light, like thousands of light-slashing arcs that suddenly rippled and burst forth, layer upon layer, rushing towards Qin Huai and the other person at the top of the pot's center.

Boom boom boom! ! !
Where the white light reached, a wave of air swept out, and the thousands of colorful bubbles in the pot burst open with a deafening roar. All around, there were piercing and heart-wrenching howls. The five-colored embryos suddenly twisted and deformed, transforming into terrifying monsters. They screamed and burst out from the bursting bubbles, collided with each other, and instantly merged and merged into five huge waves of light and air of different colors. They spun rapidly and rushed towards the five small spheres on the pot wall.

Qin Huai's temples throbbed, bulging as if about to burst, and he felt as if his soul and spirit were about to be affected by the dazzling light and leave his body.

Just then, Lu Wu Xiang in the Niwan Palace swung his tail and swept it low, and all the strange phenomena in Qin Huai's eyes vanished instantly.

Ah ~
A delicate cry rang out beside her, and Yu Shiqie's face flushed red. Her vision blurred, and she suddenly lost sight of everything, filled with terrifying illusions of demons dancing wildly and skeletons swaying. It was as if countless demonic spirits were laughing wickedly as they rushed into her body, following her meridians and blood, devouring her limbs and bones.

"Recover your mind and focus your thoughts!"

Just as she was lost in the illusion, a thunderous sound suddenly rang in her ears. Qin Huai exhaled and his crimson cloud tail, which seemed to be tangible, slapped at Yu Shi Qie, directly expelling all the distracting thoughts from her body.

At the same time, powerful and ferocious streams of the five elemental demonic energy surged into the five crystal spheres. The spheres spun rapidly, their five colors—crimson, orange-yellow, emerald green, silver-white, and jet black—clearly distinct yet all shimmering with a ghostly light, eerily bright and sinister. Qin Huai could clearly see that Shan Ang, the city lord of Aotai City, who was closest to him, sat cross-legged amidst the shifting shades of dark light, his hands moving up and down in front of his abdomen. Countless dark lights materialized into skulls, howling and wailing as they pierced through his head, causing his skin to ripple and undulate like waves. He could also clearly see thousands of black lights swirling and dancing within his body, even deepening the outline of the threat rating displayed on the screen.

call!
Qin Huai's entire body blazed with rainbow light, and his Qi energy slashed wildly towards the Five Elements Demon Spirit Light Stream as if it were free, dragging out a hundred-foot-long, fierce aura. With a thunderous roar, he cleaved all five surging rivers in two!
The blade's light spiraled and swirled, and the surging stream of demonic light that had been severed immediately rose with the blade's light, reversing and dancing like a tornado, before crashing heavily against the wall of the pot several feet away from the small ball.

boom! ! !
Rainbow light and five colors exploded and burst forth, screams and howls filled the air, and countless demonic spirits and fierce souls belonging to the five elements scattered and flew out from the dazzling colorful light. Many ghosts suddenly exploded and shattered, and were swallowed up by the Qi energy, and gathered into an even more violent blade-slashing storm.

The five-colored soul lights extinguished one after another, leaving none behind. The force impacting the five spheres on the pot wall became uneven. With a deafening roar, the pot suddenly lost its balance, tilting and shaking violently. The demonic spirits stored in the five spheres on the pot wall shot out and scattered. For a moment, the world spun, the light was dazzling, and the colors were chaotic. The five-colored demonic spirits flew in all directions, crashing into the pot wall, their souls and spirits annihilated, and screams of agony echoed.

"Rain Master! I spared you before because you were a member of the aquatic tribe, but I never expected you to dare collude with outsiders and ruin my Ghost Kingdom's grand plan! I will make you wish you were dead."

Just then, the man in black in the center of the pot suddenly raised his head, and a furious roar filled the entire jade pot.

"Noisy."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Huai mentally controlled the Qi Slash Storm, which had expanded several times over, and rammed it into the black-clad man who appeared to be the Netherworld Ghost Emperor.

"presumptuous!"

The man in black roared angrily, looking imposing, but his figure flickered and wavered, not daring to directly confront it. He transformed into a round white bone the size of an infant's fist, spinning rapidly in a dazzling array of colors, flashing and transforming into ghostly shapes, sometimes long, sometimes short, constantly changing. He was chased by the Qi-slashing storm and spun around the wall, looking quite disheveled.

"Five Elements Ghost King, heed my command! Quickly emerge from the pass and slay this fiend!"

Qin Huai, with Yu Shi Qie suspended high in the sky, was about to mobilize the Five Elements to surround and intercept the bone bead when he saw the five figures inside the crystal ball suddenly open their eyes. The extremely cold Five Elements True Qi instantly enveloped the jade pot, and thousands of dazzlingly colorful Nine Nether Corpse Gu flew across the sky, rushing towards the two of them.

"The Thousand Corpse Gu Egg Pill? Could it be that you're the one colluding with Erfu behind this?!"

Upon seeing this rather familiar-looking malevolent Gu, and considering the location of the Ghost Mountain in the Western Wilderness, Qin Huai immediately thought of Er Fu, who was also skilled in Gu techniques.

"Erfu? That good-for-nothing is more likely to ruin everything. Exiling him to Pingqiu is already being lenient with him!"

Upon hearing Qin Huai's question, the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld's reply was somewhat strange, but before he could think further, the spherical white bone shone with a great black light, suddenly bursting out from the myriad strands of demonic spirit light, spinning and whirling, its low, hoarse voice resonating within the jade pot, uttering a whisper like a spell.

The Azure Wood Ghost King, with its turquoise body and dragon claw mask, roared in a low voice, its eyes flashing with a cold, fierce light. Suddenly, it leaped up, its enormous ghost claws slicing and dancing in the air, launching a series of fierce attacks on Qin Huai.

"Southern Fire (丙火), depart!"

The next instant, the raging, blazing waves of fire surged and spread, colliding with the ten chilling, emerald-green true energies. Yin and Yang clashed, fierce and crisscrossing, and countless embers scattered and flew away.

At the same time, the other four small spheres on the pot wall shone brightly, and four figures suddenly rushed out, instantly surrounding the white bone bead. Like the Green Wood Ghost King, they all wore monster masks, revealing only their bright eyes.

Crimson, orange-yellow, silver-white, and jet-black light burst forth from the four individuals, forming four enormous arcs of light that swirled and danced, colliding and dissipating with the Five Elements Storm controlled by Qin Huai, ultimately vanishing into nothingness.

Roar!
The vast ocean of the Western Sea, stretching for nine million miles, gathered around Qin Huai, expanding and pushing outwards. It forcefully repelled the fierce and bizarre Green Wood Ghost King, whose attacks were as swift as snow-capped mountains bursting open and ice rivers surging. His ruthless claw strikes, capable of cleaving through wind and waves, were no match for the inexhaustible waves of the Western Sea. He could only retreat to the side of the White Bone Pearl, unable to advance any further.

"on!"

At that moment, the Five Elements Ghost King howled and pounced, its cold and vicious true energy merging into one, its momentum no less than that of Qin Huai's majestic and righteous Returning to the True Qi.

"Kill them!"

Xuan Shui Ghost King Shan Ang took the lead, howling fiercely. His body unleashed thousands of dark black demonic lights, which twisted and trembled, condensing into a hundred-foot-long black blade, which slashed down heavily towards Qin Huai's head.

boom! ! !
A violent and dazzling ice explosion erupted, sweeping out extremely cold frost that froze the Five Elements Ghost Kings, who were covered in the waves of the Western Sea and surrounded by misty water vapor. A blue-green light flashed in Qin Huai's eyes, and his powerful and pure wood element magic surged out in the blink of an eye, growing into a towering tree that transformed half of the space into a vast hell, wrapping around and enveloping the black water blade that was slashing down furiously.

"Eastern Su turns to Southern Li, burn!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cloud tail extending from behind Qin Huai uncontrollably swelled up, and restless flames surged out from millions of pores, then exploded violently.

The Netherworld Prison, tainted by the Southern Fire of Bing, spread like wildfire, instantly turning the Five Elements Ghost King, who was frozen in ice and bound by vines, into a ball of flame. The extremely yang and strong Southern Fire of Bing clashed head-on with the extremely yin and cold Netherworld ghost body, creating countless colorful clouds and mists.

"return!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld hurriedly intervened to save the day. A huge black light burst out from the round bone where his primordial spirit resided, and the Southern Fire of Bing immediately shattered and was swept away by the Five Elements Ghost King.

"Where to go!"

Qin Huai's tongue crackled with thunderous sound, and his fire-elemental magic continued to pour out, instantly unleashing a raging wave of fire that burned towards the Netherworld Ghost Emperor.

In the air, which rippled like water, the five ghost kings curled up and embraced each other, with colorful light rolling in and pouring into the flesh formed by the bone beads. The Netherworld Ghost Emperor stood up with his head held high, laughed loudly, and suddenly struck out with his palm.

boom!
A burst of colorful light erupted, and dazzling neon lights swirled around his arm, instantly transforming into five enormous red snakes, golden dragons, green dragons, black dragons, and white dragons, which intertwined and danced furiously, unleashing bursts of thunder.

Yu Shi Qie, who had been silently observing the two's battle, suddenly changed color and exclaimed, "Five Qi Dragon Soldiers!"
