Chapter 1778: Heavenly Ghost Descends

"Did you just say that the demon race is born with a cheap life?"

Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed, his gaze at the gray-robed man icy cold.

The gray-robed man's expression changed, and he said coldly, "So what if I did? If you dare kill me, you'll never escape the Broken Realm! I, Sikong Xiu, am a core disciple of the Spirit Control Sect. If you kill me, the Spirit Control Sect won't let you off!"

At this moment, the gray-robed man could only hope that the prestige of the Spirit Control Sect would intimidate Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan said coldly, "I don't care what kind of nonsense you are. Since you dared to bully my brother, there's only one outcome—death!"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan moved his mind, and the aura of that evil spirit suddenly erupted.

A bone-chilling cold instantly dropped the temperature in the cave to freezing point.

"Kid, do you really think we're lambs waiting to be slaughtered? Our Spirit Control Sect is far more powerful than you can imagine!"

Sikong Xiu sneered, and a powerful soul force surged out.

His fellow disciples, seeing this, turned pale with dismay.

"Senior Brother Sikong, do we really have to use that move?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Sikong, using that move will set us back several minor realms!"

Clearly, this move had severe side effects; otherwise, Sikong Xiu wouldn't have waited until now to use it.

Sikong Xiu sneered, "Realms can be cultivated again, but if you lose your life, can you be resurrected? At this point, do we have a choice?"

The others understood this reasoning, but their strength had been hard-earned through bitter cultivation. Falling back would require countless years to recover.

For them, this undoubtedly required immense courage.

But now, they clearly had no choice.

The soul forces of all the Spirit Control Sect disciples erupted almost simultaneously, and these soul forces produced a strong resonance.

Ye Yuan watched this scene coldly and said indifferently, "Kill!"

The evil spirit let out a piercing shriek and pounced toward the Spirit Control Sect disciples.

A cold smile flickered at the corner of Sikong Xiu's mouth as he said, "The power of my Spirit Control Sect is beyond the imagination of an ant like you. A mere evil spirit, do you really think you can have us cornered? O guardian of the sect, I, Sikong Xiu, a disciple of the Spirit Control Sect, offer my soul force and divine essence as sacrifice to summon the guardian sacred beast!"

The other disciples, like Sikong Xiu, began to chant incantations.

The souls scattered in the air underwent a strange transformation at that moment.

A giant claw, as if from the primordial era, reached out from the void!

This giant claw exuded a powerful aura, even stronger than the evil spirit!

"Boom!"

The two fifth-order powerhouses clashed directly.

But the giant claw was clearly superior, sending the fifth-order evil spirit flying with a single swipe.

The evil spirit's aura instantly weakened considerably.

Then, a giant beast covered in silver scales stepped slowly out of the void.

The giant beast emanated an unfathomable aura.

Ning Tianping's expression changed, and he said, "This... this is the beast soul of a Silver-Scaled Unicorn! Such a powerful beast soul!"

The aura of Sikong Xiu and the others immediately weakened after the appearance of this giant beast.

But Sikong Xiu was extremely excited, laughing loudly, "Kid, you forced me to do this! This Silver-Scaled Unicorn is the guardian sacred beast of our sect, once a formidable seventh-order existence! Now, properly endure its wrath!"

Tiger Heart began to tremble in the presence of the Silver-Scaled Unicorn's beast soul!

Even White Light turned pale, as if facing a great enemy.

"Milord, this... this Silver-Scaled Unicorn is too powerful; we simply can't match it!" Tiger Heart said tremblingly.

Ye Yuan looked at the beast soul and sneered, "Guardian sacred beast? A powerful seventh-order existence, yet you erased its consciousness, imprisoned it in the sect, making it suffer eternal damnation, guarding the sect for generations. How malicious such a sect is!"

Wuchen could tell at a glance that this beast soul was only a small part of the original.

Clearly, given the strength of these people, summoning this level was their limit.

However, this beast soul was heavy with resentment; it was not guarding the sect willingly but was imprisoned somewhere by the Spirit Control Sect using special techniques, to be driven by sect disciples.

Such methods were extremely cruel, condemning the beast soul to eternal damnation!

A seventh-order divine beast, comparable to a powerful Heavenly Lord, each one immensely proud, yet driven by a bunch of trash.

For a seventh-order divine beast, this was a trampling of dignity.

Sikong Xiu sneered, "So what? In the eyes of our Spirit Control Sect, fierce beasts and divine beasts are nothing but slaves for warriors to drive! They only need to follow our orders! What's a seventh-order divine beast? Still just a beast!"

Sikong Xiu felt no shame, but rather took pride in it.

A seventh-order divine beast, such a proud existence, was called a mere beast by him.

Ye Yuan squinted, a chill in his eyes, and said coldly, "Survival of the fittest is natural and understandable. But the actions of your Spirit Control Sect are too cruel, against the will of heaven, worse than beasts! You deserve to die!"

Sikong Xiu laughed heartily, "Too bad you can't kill me! That evil spirit of yours is too weak!"

Ye Yuan curled his lip disdainfully, "This divine beast is strong, but you are too weak. The beast soul you summoned is only at the early fifth-order!"

Sikong Xiu laughed, "Heh, enough to deal with your trash evil spirit! Guardian sacred beast, tear that kid to pieces!"

Roar!

A shocking roar sounded, and the Silver-Scaled Unicorn raised its giant claw, swiping at Ye Yuan.

This claw carried a realm pressure that shook the soul, extremely powerful.

Although it was only at the early fifth-order, it had once been a formidable seventh-order existence.

That pressure from the depths of the soul made one tremble.

Even a martial artist at the peak of the first level of the Divine Realm would have no chance of survival under this claw!

In comparison, Ye Yuan's evil spirit was much weaker.

"Haha, die! Foolish idiot!"

Ye Yuan watched this scene coldly, his face showing no emotion.

At that moment, a soul force even stronger than the Silver-Scaled Unicorn suddenly erupted.

"Twenty-first of the Hundred Ghost Dao Seals, Heavenly Ghost Descends!"

The evil spirit's body suddenly swelled more than tenfold, raising a ghost claw and smashing toward the Silver-Scaled Unicorn.

Boom!

Sikong Xiu's expression changed dramatically as he watched in disbelief.

The guardian sacred beast they had painstakingly summoned dissipated under this punch!

This evil spirit had suddenly become more than ten times stronger than before!

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

With the guardian sacred beast dispersed, the Spirit Control Sect disciples suffered severe damage to their minds, spouting blood and flying backward.

Sikong Xiu looked at this scene in horror, saying, "This... this is impossible! How can this evil spirit be so strong?"
