C15 You can't destroy yourself
The Hungry Ghost Avatar was originally made from the Soul Altar. The Soul Altar was an evil altar that was sacrificed to the soul. Before it was trapped by the Reincarnation Seal, the Soul Altar swallowed the soul and did not refuse.
After being turned into Shangguan Yue's Hungry Ghost Avatar, the Hungry Ghost had never eaten his fill. Looking at Ma Dancheng now, it was as if he was clearly looking at food.
Madan Cheng had never been viewed as food by anyone before, so there was no need to mention the feeling of being humiliated in his heart.
"Ma Dancheng, you tricked me last time. This time, you won't be able to escape no matter what." Shangguan Yue looked at Ma Dancheng who was trapped by the four phase Sky Lock Array and sneered.
The Four Phase Sky Lock Array was a trap array. Shangguan Yue had heard from Cloud Neutron about how Madan Cheng escaped, so he was prepared.
"With just you?" Even though Madan was shocked, he did not show any signs of weakness.
He had cultivated for five hundred years and was already at the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage. If it weren't for the fact that he still harbored a grudge against the Emperor who had lost to the Great Yong Empire, he would have broken through by now.
The Shangguan Yue he was facing right now was only a young prince of the Great Yong Empire who wasn't even twenty years old yet, how could he put him in his eyes?
"What, look down on us?" The hungry ghost licked his lips as his mouth chattered.
"It's clear, hungry ghost. We won't fight with you for this. However, you have to swallow it slowly. It will only be nice if you do." The Shura sneered.
"That's right. Otherwise, don't blame me for stealing the food from you." The Infernal Realm had already arrived outside the Four Seasons Tower's Sky Lock Array, and was coldly watching from the sidelines.
When he saw that these fellows actually treated him as a plate of food, Ma Dancheng flew into a rage.
"All of you are courting death."
A Linglong Treasure Pagoda appeared in his hand. It was the Spirit Beast Tower that Ma Dancheng owned.
Originally, every floor of Madan's Spirit Beast Tower had a flash of light, indicating the number of demons he had controlled. But now, there were only three lights left on the Spirit Beast Tower.
"Hungry, go try it out." Shangguan Yue instructed.
Of the four clones, the Hungry Ghost was the most resilient. Furthermore, of the four clones, Hungry Ghost's strength was similar to Blessed Buddha's.
The four clones, Asura and Hell had broken through to the Ghost General level a step earlier than Shangguan Yue, while Blessed Buddha and Hungry Ghost had both just become clones, and were already at the Ghost General level. One of them was the incarnation of Jang Tan Fa [1], the other was the incarnation of the Soul Altar, and they were both much stronger than the original body.
The hungry ghost let out a sound of grinding teeth, "Hehe, Madan Cheng right? Obediently let your grandpa enjoy it."
He opened his huge mouth, revealing his terrifyingly cold teeth. Just as the hungry ghost pounced on Madan, Hell immediately took over his position, maintaining the four phase Sky Lock Array.
With four people surrounding him and one lord, if Ma Dancheng wanted to escape, he would have to defeat Shangguan Yue and the others.
"You've gone too far. Spirit Beast Possession." This was the soul of a powerful demon that he had collected. It was kept in the Spirit Beast Tower, and when necessary, it could be possessed by a spirit beast to obtain its guidance.
This was also one of the core magic of the Spirit Beast Sect.
Ma Dancheng, who possessed a spirit beast, suddenly spread his wings and quickly dodged the hungry ghost's huge mouth.
"Hehe, the taste of the Avians should be pretty good." The hungry ghost quickly closed in.
Just now, it was just to scare this Madan.
"A hungry ghost pouncing on its food." The hungry ghost's arms and legs suddenly grew longer as he hugged Madan Cheng.
Ma Dancheng sneered. With a shake of his wings, he escaped from the attack range of the hungry ghost. He sent out two palms and a dragon and a tiger beast pounced towards the hungry ghost, wanting to beat him down.
The beast spirit that he currently possessed was refined by a great roc demon. The great roc was known for its speed, and with the enhancement of its wings, its speed had at least doubled.
Furthermore, the beast shadow that he had created was one of the most powerful secret arts of the Spiritual Beast Sect. When dragons and tigers intertwined, they would have the power to obliterate it.
The hungry ghost, however, did not evade. Instead, he opened his mouth and inhaled. The dragon and tiger beast shadows entered his mouth.
Pfft!" The hungry ghost ground his teeth and made a swallowing motion. "It's a little tasty. Madan Cheng, let's see how much mana you have to use to transform into a spirit beast. I'll eat it all for you." The hungry ghost laughed and pounced on Madan once again.
Shangguan Yue and the four Shura felt their hearts breaking out in sweat. This hungry ghost was really a hungry ghost, he could eat anything.
Madan was so angry that his nose was raised. Seeing the hungry ghost pouncing at him again, he hurriedly dodged.
At this moment, his heart was filled with cold air. It seemed that none of these fellows were normal.
That bastard Shangguan Yue, where did he get so many experts?
The hungry ghost's speed couldn't compare to Ma Dancheng's, but with his thick skin and sharp beak, he was forced to constantly dodge whatever came his way.
"Haha, Madan Cheng, come again." After eating Madan's camouflaged shadow of a beast again, the hungry ghost's eyes glowed with a green light.
The ten beast images from before, to him, were only an appetizer.
"Bastard." Madan was infuriated, but there was nothing he could do.
Shangguan Yue's group of four had restricted him tightly within the array. However, in the hands of Ma Dancheng, they did not have the top-grade small Heaven and Earth Teleportation Talisman that could tear open the array.
"You forced me." Ma Dancheng could feel the exhaustion of his Fa Li and knew that if he were to continue pestering the hungry ghost, he would be done for.
After dodging the attacks of the hungry ghosts once again, Ma Dancheng activated the Spirit Beast Tower, causing the remaining three soul lights in the tower to suddenly light up.
"Thousand Li Summoning, come out, Horse-King."
With two soft sounds, two of the three soul lights shattered and merged into the other soul light. A horse-faced demon clan member was summoned by Ma Dan.
In a cave thousands of miles away from the capital, the flesh of one ox and one snake collapsed instantly, leaving not even their corpses intact.
"Master." The demon race that was summoned was the last of the three emissaries under Ma Dancheng, the Ma Wang.
Ma Dancheng originally had three emissaries and dozens of demons under his command. Shangguan Yue had turned Ying of the two emissaries into their root, and Long Jian had also died in the Earth Fiend Extermination Array. This Ma Wang was the last powerful demon under his command.
The moment the horse king appeared, he immediately felt that something was amiss. The surrounding space was sealed, and Ma Dancheng was currently tangling with a hungry ghost-like fellow.
"Horse-King, stop this fellow. I will break the formation. Otherwise, we will all die here." After summoning Queen Ma through the Spirit Beast Tower at the cost of the remaining two demon clan subordinates, Madan Cheng immediately shouted out.
"Understood." The horse king quickly understood the current situation and quickly stepped in front of the hungry ghost.
As for Ma Dancheng, he immediately rushed towards Shangguan Yue. In his eyes, Shangguan Yue was the weakest amongst them.
Ma Dancheng had trained for 500 years, but he did not guess wrong. Shangguan Yue was indeed the weakest amongst them.
However, his plan was wrong.
"Ma Dancheng, you have helpers, and so do I." Shangguan Yue laughed out loud, his figure flashed, and he switched positions with the Blessed Buddha.
The Blessed Buddha Shrine was filled with mercy. It slapped its right hand forward and a figure stepped out from the buddhist palm. It was the Soulshake Ghost King.
As soon as the Soulshake Ghost King appeared, he threw a punch towards Ma Dancheng.
When Madan Cheng saw the Soulshake Ghost King, he immediately dodged and his face turned green.
"Ghost King."
A Spirit King was already comparable to a Spirit Refinement cultivator. He was only at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage and his strength was great, but he was still one level lower than the Spirit King.
"Shangguan Yue, you're shameless." Ma Dancheng was beaten up by the Spirit King to the point of being forced to retreat.
He did not understand where Shangguan Yue found these experts.
Blessed Buddha and the other two were fine, but in the end, they were still Demonic Generals. In terms of cultivation level, they were not higher than him, and at most, they had strange battle prowess. But now, even the Spirit King had appeared.
"Haha, Ma Dancheng, are you satisfied with the gift I prepared for you?" Shangguan Yue laughed loudly.
Ma Dancheng was so infuriated that the blood in his heart was boiling. He was sent flying by the silent Ghost King's fist.
"Oi, little ghost, don't break my food." The hungry ghost glared and shouted. He slapped the horse king and it flew straight at Ma Dancheng.
"Yes, kid." The Spirit Stunning Ghost King quickly nodded, and went to stop Ma Wang.
After being transformed by the Blessed Buddha, the Soulshake Ghost King had undergone a transformation, entering the Buddha from a ghost, but it did not lose its spiritual wisdom.
Facing a hungry ghost with the same status as Blessed Buddha, the Soulshake Ghost King was scared to death of the hungry ghost.
The moment Madan Cheng came to his senses and saw the hungry ghost approaching him, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He hurriedly flapped his wings and was about to dodge.
"Ma Dancheng, you still want to leave?" The hungry ghost laughed in a weird manner. He opened his mouth and sucked. A suction force came from his mouth, actually causing Ma Dancheng to stagger.
"Make me some food." The hungry ghost was overjoyed and pounced towards Ma Dancheng.
"You've gone too far. The Wanxiang Anaconda Beast will not rest until one of them dies." Ma Dancheng took out his trump card as one beast shadow after another pounced towards the hungry ghost.
Spirit Beast Sect's cultivation was mainly focused on spirit beasts. The thing that Ma Dancheng was most proficient at was when he fought for himself like a beast.
However, they just happened to encounter a hungry ghost.
"I'm so hungry." The hungry ghost grinded its teeth and bit by bit, devouring the mana transformed beast shadows.
On the other side, the Spirit Stunning Ghost King easily suppressed Ma Wang.
What made Ma Wang the strongest was his speed, but unfortunately, the Ghost King's speed was not something he could compare with.
"Ghost King, leave this guy be, I still have a use for him." Seeing that the horse king was about to die from being caught by the hungry ghost, Shangguan Yue timely reminded him.
Previously, when he was researching the cavalry formation of the Triad Formation with Cao Wen Shang, Cao Wen Shang had said that it was best to have a demon horse to lead the cavalry's mounts. Now, the appearance of the horse king reminded Shangguan Yue of this.
Naturally, the Spirit Stunning Ghost King did not dare to disobey. He subdued the horse king and turned to look at Ma Dancheng.
Madan Cheng had been forced by the hungry ghosts to use all his abilities and even released his Spirit Beast Tower. Unfortunately, even cultivating to restrict hungry ghosts couldn't stop the Spirit Beast Tower from capturing the body of a demon.
The body of a hungry ghost was transformed from an altar. It was extremely evil, but it was actually so easy to restrain.
The reason why he hadn't dealt with Madan Cheng yet was because the hungry ghost wasn't full yet, giving Madan Cheng a chance to show off.
Very quickly, Madan realized this fact and could not help but feel extreme grief and indignation. The space was locked, and there was a hungry ghost and the Soulshake Ghost King, these two fellows, that were eyeing him covetously.
"Ah, even if I die, I won't let you off easy." Madan went crazy, crazily attacking the hungry ghost.
The beast shadows that filled the sky rushed towards the hungry ghost like a herd of beasts. As for himself, he took out a bracelet and was about to destroy it. All of his collections were contained within this bracelet.
Shangguan Yue was waiting for this moment, "Fourth phase locks the sky, lock the sky."
Ma Dancheng was about to destroy his own storage bracelet when he suddenly found that his body was unable to move.
With a flash, the Spirit King took the bracelet from his hand. As for the hungry ghost, he had already devoured the beast shadow of Ma Dancheng. He then walked towards Ma Dancheng, chuckling.
"Ma Dancheng, if it wasn't for the fact that you don't know where your things were hidden, do you think I'd play tricks on you?" The hungry ghost snickered.
Actually, he really wanted to take over Ma Dancheng from the beginning, but Shangguan Yue needed Ma Dancheng's wealth, so he could only accompany him and play around.
Ma Dancheng's body was sealed by the Sky Lock Array. He finally understood the true power of this array. Not only could it seal up space, it could also suppress enemies within the array.
"Then let's die together." Madan Cheng went crazy and his body was suppressed, but his primordial spirit began to expand crazily.
"Self-destruct?" The hungry ghost let out a mocking expression and opened his mouth, swallowing the suppressed Madan in one gulp.
