Chapter 391

A chilly wind blew, and the wailing of ghosts drowned out the area.

"It's the Ghost Emperor!"

The Ghost King's eyes turned cold as he listened to the rattling of the chains.

"He's finally willing to meet us? But this method … "

Gu Chen glanced at the dark corners of the wilderness. Ghost fires appeared one after another, emitting a treacherous and gloomy green light.

Following that strange roar, it seemed that a large number of dead creatures were summoned. There were many black shadows in the surroundings, and there were probably thousands or even tens of thousands of them.

"There are some underground too!"

The Ghost King's expression was solemn. Ten zhang in front of him and Gu Chen, a ghost hand covered in red hair broke out of the ground, and ferocious zombies crawled out with difficulty.

"Zhi zhi!"

The white ape pointed at the muddy water of the Yellow Spring. The two looked over and felt their scalps go numb.

The corpses floating in the Yellow Spring were actually moving, and they were trying to wade ashore.

Some of the corpses were only skeletons left, and soul flames suddenly lit up in their empty eye sockets.

Some of the flesh was still intact, but the skulls were only left with thin skin and bones, and they were twisting in a strange manner.

"Looks like the Ghost Emperor doesn't welcome us."

The Ghost King smiled bitterly. They were surrounded by a sea of dead creatures, and even he felt the danger of death.

Especially those corpses crawling out of the Yellow Spring. Some of them seemed to be extremely powerful when they were alive, and they made his heart tremble.

Gu Chen took a deep breath. Listening to the rattling of the chains in the distance, he knew that they were most likely summoned by the Ghost Emperor.

"Senior, please listen to me."

He said politely.

The Ghost Emperor didn't respond. The sea of dead creatures around them let out sharp screeches and surged toward Gu Chen and the woman with the force of a broken dam!

"Don't get in the way!"

The Ghost King was about to attack, but Gu Chen's eyes turned cold, and his innate aura swept out!

Boom!

A domineering pressure spread out, and it was so powerful that no one could resist.

For a moment, the zombies crawling out of the ground went back into the ground, and the ghostly shadows screamed and fled, some of them turned into wisps of smoke.

The reaction of the corpses crawling out of the Yellow Spring was even more intense. They roared and turned into ashes as if their bodies had spontaneously combusted!

"Amazing!"

The Ghost King looked at Gu Chen in shock. In just an instant, 45% of the dead creatures that had surrounded them had escaped!

Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. The innate Qi of Qi originally had the effect of intimidating evil spirits and malicious spirits. When he had just broken through to the realm of divinity, the Qi of Qi had a strange restraining effect on the dead things in the Ghost Ruins. Now that he had entered the realm of king, the deterrent effect was indeed stronger.

Seeing that the ghost tide had receded, Gu Chen quickly followed the sound of the chains and soon arrived at the upper reaches of the Netherworld!

"Uncle, do you want to eat tanghulu?"

The little girl from before was now squatting beside the Yellow Spring, speaking innocently to a dried corpse.

The corpse's flesh and blood were completely shriveled, and its appearance was horrifyingly ugly.

His hands and feet were shackled. The chains of the shackles were extremely long and extended into the Yellow Springs. They were tied to a vermillion coffin that was bobbing up and down.

"That's the Ghost Emperor?"

Gu Chen looked at the Ghost King in shock and surprise.

"This … when I first saw the Ghost Emperor, he was indeed shackled, but he didn't look like this."

The Ghost King was also very surprised. Looking at the two horns on the dried corpse's head, it was indeed the symbol of the ghost race. The other party was most likely the Ghost Emperor!

"To think that the Ghost Emperor has become like this."

He took a deep breath. This turn of events was truly unexpected. He didn't know if the Ghost Emperor in this state would be able to help them!

The Ghost Emperor ignored the little girl's words and raised his head to look at the two that had just appeared.

To be more precise, he was looking at Gu Chen.

"This aura again …"

A hoarse voice came from his throat, as if he was in a delirious state.

"Senior, what are you talking about?"

Gu Chen braced himself and stepped forward. Regardless of whether the Ghost Emperor was in a normal state or not, since he had seen him, he had to try and talk to him.

"Thirty thousand years ago, I met you …"

He stared at Gu Chen and said something that made Gu Chen feel puzzled.

"Could it be that the Ghost Emperor has gone mad?"

The Ghost King could not believe that the strongest expert of his race had become a lunatic after so many years!

"Senior, you met me? May I ask what I looked like back then? "

Gu Chen slowly stepped forward. He wanted to confirm just how muddled the Ghost Emperor's mind had become.

"Back then, you …"

When the Ghost Emperor heard the question, he suddenly grabbed his head. His face was filled with pain, and a scarlet light burst out from his turbid eyes.

"It's you! You destroyed my home!"

All of a sudden, he was overcome with grief and rushed toward Gu Chen!

Clatter clatter!

The chains were quickly stretched, and a monstrous baleful Yin energy surged from the Ghost Emperor's body, causing Gu Chen to feel as if he had fallen into an icy cavern.

The Ghost Emperor was a top expert of this continent, on the same level as the old Celestial Thearch. At this moment, he suddenly attacked, and Gu Chen had no time to react!

Boom —

Extreme cold Yin energy instantly invaded Gu Chen's body. The golden Tyrant Heavenly Bone was instinctively activated, and a domineering aura overflowed!

The Ghost Emperor arrived in front of Gu Chen, and a shriveled hand was already reaching between his brows. However, when it sensed the domineering aura, it suddenly stopped!

The red light in his eyes gradually receded as if he had regained his rationality. He slowly retracted his hand that was less than three inches away from Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's heart rate sped up. Just a little bit more, and he might have died at the hands of the Ghost Emperor!

A peak Heaven Tier expert was truly terrifying!

The Ghost Emperor retracted his hand, and his shriveled body became plump again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His hair grew out again, and the flesh on his face also became more substantial, finally transforming into a cold face that was as sharp as a knife.

"You shouldn't have come here. You almost died at my hands just now."

The Ghost Emperor's voice became much clearer than before, and it was clear that he had regained his rationality.

"This is the true Ghost Emperor!"

The Ghost King heaved a sigh of relief. The Ghost Emperor had finally recovered to the appearance he had seen all those years ago.

"Little kid, I should have told you that you are not allowed to step into the Ghastly Ruins again, right?"

The Ghost Emperor coldly glanced at the Ghost King.

"The Ghastly Ruins is the ancestral land of my ghost race. I have the right to come here!"

The Ghost King gritted his teeth.

"Ancestral land?"

When the Ghost Emperor heard this, it was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "This is just a cursed and ominous land."

He turned around and walked back.

"Senior, may I know what happened just now?"

Gu Chen hurriedly followed and tried to strike up a conversation.

"It's the Deva's Five Decrements. Every once in a while, my primordial spirit will weaken, and my consciousness will become hazy. If you approach me at this time, you will definitely die."

"If it wasn't for your aura that woke me up, you would already be a dead man."

The Ghost Emperor explained coldly.

"So it's the Deva's Five Decrements."

The Ghost King suddenly understood. It was said that if a peak Heaven Tier cultivator of the Kunlun Continent wanted to advance further, they would definitely encounter the catastrophe of the Deva's Five Decrements.

One of the five decrements was the Primordial Spirit Decrements. If one encountered this tribulation, they would easily lose their consciousness.

However, the Ghost Emperor's state just now was simply from death to life. It didn't seem to be as simple as the Deva's Five Decrements.

"Just now, senior said that you saw me when your consciousness was hazy. May I know what happened?"
