Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 387: Chapter 178 Old Demon, The Times Have Changed!_2

After the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge revived, the Master of North Mang Mountain had also used the contingency plan left behind three thousand years ago to extract the spirit essence from within North Mang Mountain for recovery.

It wasn’t until a few days ago that the Master of North Mang Mountain sensed that the rules of heaven and earth would further revive. By then, the 10th Hall Yama Array Formation would show some flaws during the rule transition process.

As long as the timing was right, the Ghost Kings could escape the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and make contact with the Samsara King outside.

He could also use the water monster to spread his influence, reducing a portion of his power within North Mang Mountain.

Under the Master of North Mang Mountain’s deliberately leaked rule that he couldn’t attack ordinary people within the forbidden land, the noble families behind the dead cultivators sent exploration teams.

With just a small provocation, it was possible to incite humans to kill each other, and then let the Ghost King quietly escape and spread the water monster.

All the plans were so perfect that, without any accidents, within two days he would be able to reduce a portion of his power to suppress the North Mang Mountain water monster, and within a few months, the 10th Hall Yama Array Formation would be unraveled, and the name of the First Ghost Immortal would resound throughout the Primal Chaos Realm once again.

However, this perfect plan was ruined by one person, and this person had come into contact with him ten thousand years ago.

Recalling the young man dressed in white like an immortal from ten thousand years ago, overlapping with the figure of the young man before him, the Master of North Mang Mountain’s gaze grew darker, and he felt a deep unease in his heart.

“Ten thousand years have passed, why has he appeared here, and why is he not facing any backlash from the laws of heaven and earth?”

“Could he really have come to fulfill that promise from ten thousand years ago?”

The unease in his heart slowly turned into a hint of fear, but the Master of North Mang Mountain knew very well that he must not show any cowardice in front of Shen Yuan, and a majestic yet deep voice transmitted from the Desolate Ancient Blessed Land to the outside world.

“Overstepping bounds? North Mang Mountain has always been my territory.

You killed the Ghost Kings under my command and forcefully collected my water monsters. It should be you who has truly overstepped bounds!”

Shen Yuan just let out a cold laugh:

“You don’t need to change the subject, you should be well aware of what I mean by overstepping bounds.

Conspiring with Yama to disturb the balance of this world, you claim to be the First Ghost Immortal of the Primal Chaos Realm, so how come you are willing to play lapdog to a Yama?”

Upon hearing this, the Master of North Mang Mountain’s already grim expression instantly turned into fury.

Since he became the preeminent Ghost Immortal of his time, this was the first time anyone had dared to speak to him like this.

He thought of ten thousand years ago when he had ascended to the Immortal Realm and become a Ghost Immortal through the Discarnation Divine Power, using the Discarnation Method to help several powerful experts whose lifespans had ended to switch to cultivating the Ghost Path, and then establishing the North Mang Mountain water monsters.

At his peak, there were as many as eight Ghost Immortals within the North Mang Mountain water monsters with countless Ghost Kings under his command, and even the Netherworld had to make way for him by three points.

If not for the Great Schism of the Primal Chaos Realm and the era of Spirit Energy depletion where Samsara destroyed everything, he even had the confidence to become a peer of the 10th Hall Yama in the Ghost Path.

There was no doubt that Shen Yuan’s words had hit a sore spot.

Faced with Shen Yuan’s mockery, the Master of North Mang Mountain took a deep breath, naturally unwilling to show weakness, and replied with a sneer:

“Seeing that you can avoid the backlash of heaven and earth and appear here, I thought you might have some special method. You almost had me deceived.

If you could maintain the peak strength from ten thousand years ago, with your temperament, you might have already charged into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land instead of standing outside it making snide remarks.”

“The fact that you can disregard the backlash of heaven and earth and appear here shows that you have not displayed strength beyond the limits of the laws of heaven and earth. At best, you are only at the Spirit Transmutation Stage.

With such cultivation, the moment you dare step into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, I can easily crush you with one finger.”

Shen Yuan’s pupils trembled imperceptibly, and a glint of joy arose in his eyes.

Although the Master of North Mang Mountain spoke without showing weakness, Shen Yuan could still detect a hint of bluster in his words.

This was enough to indicate that the Master of North Mang Mountain indeed harbored reservations about him.

But at this moment, Shen Yuan was just as wary about the Master of North Mang Mountain’s strength.

Shen Yuan couldn’t be sure how much strength the Master of North Mang Mountain could exert within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

If it were a Spirit Refining True Being or even a Return-to-Void Great True Being, Shen Yuan might have been able to use his ace in the hole to contend with him.

But if the Master of North Mang Mountain retained the strength of a Void Refining True Monarch, Shen Yuan would undoubtedly be doomed if he stepped in, especially since there was no Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda here to borrow power from.

In front of this Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, the atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange stalemate at this moment.

The Ghost Immortal inside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land feared Shen Yuan displaying strength beyond the current world’s limits, while Shen Yuan outside the forbidden land also worried about the Ghost Immortal’s trump cards.

After a brief standoff, Shen Yuan took the initiative to look back at Xue Mingzhi and mentally transmitted a message to him.

Xue Mingzhi’s expression was momentarily stunned, but he still nodded respectfully to Shen Yuan, reached out to pick up Zhang Jiang beside him, and flew towards the outside of North Mang Mountain using a fleeing technique.

In front of the forbidden land, Shen Yuan, on the contrary, became calm, his eyes looking into the crimson eye and speaking:

“Old Demon, I am well aware that your current state is not good, otherwise you wouldn’t think of conspiring with the 10th Hall Yama.

But don’t forget you are ultimately a Ghost Object, and they are the Yamas who manage the kingdom of Hell.

Once you bring out what they want, they will not hesitate to kill you, to make your soul dissipate and condemn you to never transcend death for eternity, for only by doing so can they protect the secrets involving the power of the underworld.”

The Master of North Mang Mountain’s expression fluctuated for a moment, and he couldn’t help but glance at an inconspicuous tomb within this Desolate Ancient Blessed Land.
