Spirit Vessel

Chapter 1114: Ghost Pagoda, Saintess

There were floating palaces and buildings everywhere, looking illusory. The place resembled a world covered by a black veil with a strange chill.

“This is Lord of Chaos’ chamber.” The ghost monarch led Feng Feiyun to a particular palace.

Just the steps alone were intimidating. Outside were eight altars, seemingly made from mountains being transformed with a horizontal cut. Above the altars were streams of boiling blood.

Ghastly soldiers brought souls back to the altars - truly a scene of hell.

“I can only take you here.” The ghost monarch seemed to be afraid.

Feiyun waved his hand and commanded Hell Yama to turn into a tornado, coiling around the monarch and swallowing him. Hell Yama’s chilling energy became stronger with black runes afterward.

“How dare you intrude?” A ghost monarch riding a black-horned creature raised his spear at Feiyun.

The creature was rotten with miasma but still maintained its original frame.

Feiyun was armed for battle and didn’t bother looking at the monarch, prompting the ghost to thrust offensively.

Feiyun turned around and pierced the attacker.

Pluff!” Once the weapon essence was inside, he released saint energy and caused the ghost monarch to explode.

This monarch was far weaker compared to the previous ambushers, not worth mentioning at this point.

“An intruder!”

“Kill him!”

“His soul is mine!”

Ghosts from all directions rushed closer. A few of them were powerful monarchs with scythes.

Feiyun leaped on top of the horned beast and rushed forward.

The special scythes’ auras alone were dreadful. However, since he wore special armor, he had no fear of them.

He turned the weapon essence into a rain of swords to destroy the constant barrages.

Turning it back into a spear, he pierced through a large pillar in the palace and knocked it on top of dozens of ghosts.

As he rode deeper into the palace, he finally saw a black pagoda with several dozen floors. The top was too high to see.

“Boom!” The pressure around him intensified, making him feel as if he was stuck in a quagmire. His black armor was not omnipotent against all the seals here.

“Whoosh!” A thick lightning bolt came down like a heavenly blade.

Feiyun used the trigram seal to create a yin-yang shield in order to block it.

Alas, more lightning bolts descended; each strong enough to kill a ghost monarch.

“Cosmic Seal!” Feiyun created a massive barrier with this attack, capable of stopping the attacks but not breaking the blockade.

“This must have been done by Lord of Chaos himself.” He summoned the cauldron as a defensive measure while using the Grand Change Art to come up with a way.

“I know.” He activated his saint energy along with phoenix flames.

His inner core let out a phoenix screech.

“Break!” The combination of the two affinities turned into a fiery maelstrom. It swallowed up all the seals nearby.

He made it through the final barrier and stood in front of the pagoda, seeing that it was made from bones. Streams of blood accumulated at the bottom. The gate looked like a beast with a frightening set of teeth.

“Feng Feiyun, you’re really trying to save Lotus Saintess?” The turtle asked.

“You’re actually scared?” Feiyun looked down.

“I’m not scared, it’s just that if that old man Yu is telling the truth, I’m pretty sure this saintess was your father’s lover. Your mother won’t be happy about this.” The turtle laughed.

“She is a loyal woman in my eyes.” He said.

“Rumble!” Bright detonations suddenly erupted above.

“Boom!” A figure smashed into several palaces and was bloodied - Lord of Chaos.novelbuddy.com

He was grievously injured, no longer as imperious as before. His opponent was a massive kun with sky-blotting scaled wings.

The kun turned into a wise old man and unleashed another palm strike, causing the lord to bellow in pain.

A bamboo tree with bright leaves also descended and turned into a beautiful woman with fair skin and shimmering eyes. She coldly uttered: “Today is your last, Lord of Chaos.”

“Saintess, save me!” Lord of Chaos ran over to the pagoda and begged for help, smashing his forehead to the ground.

Feiyun became confused and looked up.

A ghost energy countless times stronger than anything seen previously erupted.

“Pluff!” Feiyun was sent flying for ten miles before being able to stop by gripping a crack in the ground.

“So strong!”

“I want that grand saint’s blood.” An ethereal yet chilling female voice answered.

Lord of Chaos trembled, clearly afraid of this person: “The blood… has been taken by the king of the market.”

“Then you are useless.” After hearing it again, Feiyun found the voice to be beautiful as well.

“For-forgive me, Saintess!” The lord begged again.

The woman in blue heard this voice and stared at the bloodied pagoda. She couldn’t believe it: “Sister Lotus…”

“Blue, you’ve transformed.” The voice remained cold.

“You knew that I almost died coming to save you…” As a pseudo-saint, Blue didn’t cry but her voice was accompanied by sadness and disappointment.

By now, even a fool knew who was the true master of the first hell gate.
