The old ghost of the sky did not answer, but his demonic energy grew even stronger, making him seem like a demon lord descending to earth.

He had no hope of getting help from others.

But he believed that a force would surely come to his aid.

The cultivators who were the first to confront the Old Ghost of the Azure Sky were all those who had been defeated by him in the past.

The once mighty and powerful Azure Sky Demon has fallen to such a state.

Everyone felt extremely pleased, but also said with a hint of sarcasm.

"You don't actually expect the Ghost Spirit Sect to come to your aid, do you?"

Stop dreaming, the Ghost Spirit Sect guys have already given up on you.

Fortunately, they have found a secluded place, and no one has yet been able to locate the exact location of the Ghost Spirit Gate.

They narrowly escaped disaster. Under such circumstances, how could they dare to show their faces if they didn't tuck their tails between their legs and hide?

The others chimed in, trying to undermine Cang Qiong's confidence.

In a battle between masters, every second counts.

As long as they can interrupt the old ghost of the sky's thoughts, they can take advantage of the situation and severely injure him.

The old ghost of the sky turned a deaf ear to all the provocative words and remained perfectly guarded, giving no chance for the others to launch a sneak attack.

Such beings possess far too many secret techniques, and their methods of sneak attacks are countless.

The aftershocks of the battle lingered high in the sky, and as the old ghost of the sky swayed, countless phantoms emerged.

It is a mixture of reality and illusion, making it difficult for anyone to distinguish between the two.

The others couldn't just stand by and do nothing about the phantom, since even a phantom possesses considerable power.

These phantoms can switch back and forth with the original body, making it impossible for others to defend against them.

Hua Yao, who was watching from below, also frowned and asked, quite puzzled.

"It seems that Old Ghost Cangqiong is quite confident!"

In this situation, the best option is for the Ghostly Ancestor not to appear.

Once he shows up, it won't be easy for him to escape.

These sects arrived in a grand procession, naturally having already taken precautions.

Even if the Ghost Spirit Ancestor intervenes, he may not be able to reverse the situation.

Moreover, if the Ghost Spirit Ancestor were to try to escape and return to his sect, it would easily expose the sect's location, bringing a devastating blow to the Ghost Spirit Sect.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, it is the best option for the Ghost Ancestor not to show himself.

"Hey little brother, do you know something?"

Is this ghostly corpse, formed from the combined essence of two major geographical features, truly a scheme plotted by the Demonic Spirit Gate for millennia?

That shouldn't be happening!

These two types of terrain are indeed present in the world, in theory.

However, it seems a bit unreasonable to say that the two major terrains were planned by the old and new Ghost Spirit Sects for tens of thousands of years.

Liu Chen naturally wouldn't reveal the Dragon Soul of Blue Star.

After all, this was the biggest secret, and he even had a vague suspicion about it deep down.

The golden finger that appeared on his body was also related to the dragon soul of Blue Star.

Considering the extraordinary nature of this cheat system, the rewards it provides are even more like secret techniques from the upper realm.

It seems unlikely to have anything to do with the dragon souls of the lower realm, so let's put this guess aside for now.

"Then I don't know. Perhaps the old ghost of the Azure Sky has something that the Ghost Spirit Ancestor urgently needs!"

Hua Yao gave a half-smile, but did not answer his question.

"Alright, maybe that's really the case! Let me see how much real skill that Ghost Spirit Ancestor really has."

Her decision to stay here wasn't actually because she was interested in the Azure Sky Ghost Path.

A person's name, a tree's shadow, and the old ghost of the sky are all renowned.

Most importantly, the old ghost of the Azure Sky is too old, having long since reached the lifespan limit of a Mahayana cultivator.

When Cangqiong Laogui became famous, he was already a renowned Mahayana stage cultivator.

Now, a hundred thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and who knows what state he has reached.

Liu Chen asked curiously, "Maybe he just has a long lifespan, and his own strength isn't that high!"

Hua Yao pouted, gently hooked his shoulder with her right foot, and forcibly pulled him over.

"That's not how it works. The tribulations of Mahayana cultivators are getting stronger with each tribulation."

The power of the lightning that strikes every 20,000 years is not static; it is always several times stronger than the last time.

Many Mahayana cultivators can withstand the first wave of heavenly tribulation, but they find it extremely difficult to withstand the second wave, and the third wave will result in their death and the dissipation of their Dao.

Only a very few beings can survive the fourth tribulation.

Those Mahayana cultivators who survived the fifth wave of tribulation were extremely rare.

The Ghost Spirit Ancestor had been famous for a long time and was a cultivator of the Ghost Path, so he was inherently restrained by the Heavenly Tribulation.

So even though legends circulate that he is still alive.

However, no one knows whether the rumors are true or false.

A blinding flash of cold light streaked across the stars.

The blade flashed like a dragon, disappearing in an instant, leaving only a blinding crimson streak in the starry sky.

Amidst the clash of blades, countless blood-red swords shot out into the air.

The cultivators who were besieging the old ghost of the Azure Sky on the outermost edge of the battlefield suddenly exploded.

A colossal figure, towering ten thousand feet tall, stood amidst the battlefield, looking down upon all the heroes of the world.

"What, do you really think I'm dead? How dare you humiliate the cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect like this?"

The phantom figure held a giant blade that could cleave the heavens, its sharp light illuminating the entire starry sea like a fleeting moon.

Unlike flying swords that can take the enemy's head from thousands of miles away, there are very few cultivators who specialize in sword cultivation.

The way of the sword emphasizes dominance, aiming for a single, fatal strike; when it moves, it is as powerful as thunder.

Old Ghost burst into wild laughter, and with a flick of his wrist, he slashed down from the sky with another swift stroke.

Forced to retreat, the encirclement surrounding the old ghost of the Azure Sky began to crack.
