Li Yu immediately activated his Triple Eyes and looked up at the sky-covering ghostly canopy.
Ma Hao also seemed to sense something unusual; a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to his head, making him shiver involuntarily.
He subconsciously looked up, but found nothing.
Others might not be able to see the ghost, but Li Yu could see it clearly.
A gigantic ghost, like a giant cloth, slowly descended upon the entire base.
It seemed that the ghost wanted to devour everything in the base.
At this moment, Mingyuan also noticed the gaze coming from below. He was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Li Yu, who was casting his gaze, with some surprise. He then revealed a sinister smile:
"Oh? There's actually one who can see me."
"However, even if you can see, you will all become nourishment for me to regain my strength today."
Recalling those ghost stories, Ma Hao's face turned deathly pale, his voice trembling as he tentatively asked:
"Li Yu, is there something dirty up there?"
Li Yu frowned, having no time to explain to Ma Hao, and immediately raised his crossbow to aim at the sky-covering ghost.
Seeing Li Yu's attack and the seemingly ordinary repeating crossbow in his hand, Ming Yuan felt a surge of disdain.
Faced with such an extremely outdated physical attack, Ming Yuan spoke with a contemptuous expression, his voice actually entering Li Yu's mind directly:
“Ridiculous. Physical attacks are useless against me, let alone a small arrow.”
Mingyuan seemed somewhat moved, after all, this was the first human to see him since his return, and the first to witness his return to his peak. He couldn't help but say a few more words:
"Since you can see me, you can at least die knowing why."
"I, Mingyuan, have returned. You can be proud to die by my hand!"
"From this day forward, I shall be the new king of mankind!"
Li Yu was quite surprised to hear a ghost dare to speak so arrogantly.
Although the Netherworld above had grown considerably larger, the white mist emanating from its body seemed even weaker than the ghosts Li Yu had seen before.
Li Yu fell silent; he couldn't see anything particularly powerful about this ghost.
But this ghost is different from others. Not only can it communicate with people telepathically, but it also dares to arrogantly claim to be king alone. It must have some hidden trump card.
Faced with such a unique and unusually confident ghost, Li Yu was afraid of being caught off guard and dared not let his guard down, so he immediately became extremely vigilant.
Li Yu quickly activated the internal energy vortex, transforming the crossbow in his hand into elemental form. Then, he forced the Nightmare Beast, which had been slacking off recently, to open its eyes, attempting to make it interfere with the opponent.
Finally, Li Yu used the Triple Soul-Devouring Eyes to focus intently on the opponent's location, locking onto him firmly with the aiming circle in his eyes.
After doing all this and making sure everything was foolproof, Li Yu held up the repeating crossbow and replied:
"Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try it."
After saying that, Li Yu decisively pulled the trigger.
A water-enchanted armor-piercing arrow, radiating a ghostly blue light, shot straight into the sky, hurtling towards the abyss above, where the creature's body was spread out.
Seeing the arrows hurtling towards him, Mingyuan was startled and finally realized that something seemed wrong.
As an existence that frequently receives human sacrifices in the void, teetering on the edge of life and death countless times.
He could actually sense an aura of death emanating from that arrow, an aura that made his very being tremble.
Mingyuan was not afraid of death; for him, death was not the end, but he always felt that this aura of death was different.
A strange feeling kept telling him that the arrow could really hit him.
Faced with this strange attack, Mingyuan had no choice but to stop expanding and intercept it, muttering to himself.
"The Thousand Illusions of the Gods!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless eyes glowing with a faint green light appeared on Mingyuan's enormous body, all looking at Li Yu and the armor-piercing arrow that was being shot at him.
Mingyuan planned to directly deflect the incoming attack from his body at the mental level.
Under his power, the special human below will immediately fall into a hallucination, and even the attacks fired by the opponent will be affected, and all problems will be solved.
Sure enough, as those eerie green eyes looked over, Li Yu's Triple Soul-Devouring Eyes suddenly felt a needle-like stinging pain.
He could sense that the power of the Underworld was trying to invade his mental world and pull his consciousness into an illusion.
Even the trajectory of the armor-piercing arrow has been slightly deviated!
"Dry!"
The Nightmare Beast in its mental sea cursed under its breath, for it too clearly felt the pain brought by the Triple Soul-Devouring Eyes.
The little infant spirit looked over strangely, not understanding why the Nightmare Beast suddenly started struggling.
At this moment, countless eerie green pupils swirled like vortexes in the Nightmare Beast's vision, intending to devour it as well.
The Nightmare Beast couldn't understand where Li Yu got so many enemies, and each one was more outrageous than the last. It had never seen a ghost use illusion abilities to this extent.
However, although this ghost possesses great spiritual power, it is clearly also a great tonic.
"A mere ghost dares to try and trap me in an illusion? This is utterly outrageous! What a pipe dream!"
The Nightmare Beast spoke coldly and immediately began to exert its power.
Although it lost its freedom, it could freely replenish its spiritual power in Li Yu's spiritual sea, making it even stronger than before.
How could the proud Nightmare Beast allow itself to be defeated by the Ghost in terms of mental illusion?
Li Yu's Triple Soul-Devouring Eyes instantly turned pitch black, as if transforming into a bottomless black hole, successfully resisting this powerful mental impact.
Immediately afterwards, the black eyes on the crossbow suddenly opened wide, emitting a captivating light, and stared straight at the abyss in the sky.
The moment their eyes met, Mingyuan felt his consciousness suddenly freeze.
"Psychological interference?"
Before Mingyuan could break free from the illusion, he felt a piercing pain enter his mind, which was the Nightmare Beast's revenge on him.
A black mist had successfully invaded his mental sea and bound him tightly. The huge eyeball connecting the black mist also indicated the intruder's identity.
"Damn it! This aura... it's Nightmare!"
Mingyuan was puzzled. Hadn't the Nightmares all died out long ago? How could they be associating with humans?
Before Mingyuan could figure it all out, Li Yu's arrow had already struck Mingyuan, who was still frozen in mid-air.
"puff!"
The ghostly form of the Netherworld swayed slightly under the impact, like a huge curtain being torn open by a sharp arrow, a large hole pierced through its body, which was still tearing.
The arrow pierced his heart and disappeared into the heavy rain.
The ghost's body shrank rapidly due to severe injuries, and even the eerie green eyes on its body closed and dimmed quickly.
"How is this possible!" Mingyuan roared in shock.
He couldn't believe that he, in his ghostly state, could be injured by an ordinary awakened being, and with an arrow no less.
'Human! How dare you—'
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his chest.
