Chapter 1258 Black Lightning
The second half of the gray soul's words were of course not said to Qingyang, but to the person he thought might be hiding in the dark to help Qingyang plot against him. The reason why he had this guess was because the black lightning appeared too late. Soul fighting is very damaging to the soul. Qingyang's soul was injured so badly before that it almost collapsed. It would be difficult to fully recover without three to five years in the future. If Qingyang had such a method, he would have used it long ago, and it would be impossible to wait until then.
As soon as the gray soul's voice fell, a third shadow appeared in Qingyang's purple mansion, wearing a black robe and a single horn on his head. Who else could it be but the One-Horned Ghost King?
The shadow of the One-horned Ghost King was nothing special, even fainter than the light and shadow of Qingyang Yuanshen, but it seemed to have a temperament that could not be ignored. He squinted at the gray Yuanshen and then said, "Were you scolding me just now?"
The gray Yuanshen was also shocked to see that there was indeed a third party. He was just testing it, but he didn't expect that someone was actually helping him in secret. This time, the possession of the body might have another twist. The most taboo thing about possession is being disturbed. With one more person, the difficulty increases a few points. If you are not careful, you will fail to take over the body and be killed by someone else. That would be completely over.
However, he soon saw clearly that the shadow of the One-horned Ghost King who had just appeared was very faint, and his strength seemed to be obviously inferior to his own. He immediately put his mind at ease. Although he didn't know where the lightning just now came from and why it was so powerful, he had some confidence in his heart. The battle of Yuanshen was not so fancy. Who wins and who loses mainly depends on whether the Yuanshen is strong or not.
Thinking of this, the gray soul became bolder and said angrily: "I scolded you, so what? Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me from taking over another body?"
After hearing this person's words, the shadow of the One-Horned Ghost King laughed and said: "The ignorant are really fearless. I haven't been out of the mountain for many years, and even an unknown junior like you dare to talk to me like this. If I don't teach you a lesson, how can I establish my authority?"
After saying this, the shadow of the One-Horned Ghost King folded his hands, and I don't know what kind of magic formula he pinched. A black lightning formed between his arms, and then he flicked his fingers, and the black lightning shot towards the gray soul opposite. Seeing that the black lightning was about to fall on him, the gray soul was immediately horrified. He never thought that the black lightning was actually emitted by this inconspicuous one-horned shadow, and the attack was so easy.
Qingyang didn't know much about the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators. He only knew that the strength of this gray soul should be higher than that of Yaoyue Zhenjun and Shifu Zhenjun, but he didn't know what level of Nascent Soul it was. In fact, the strength of this gray soul has reached the seventh level of Nascent Soul. It was precisely because of this that he didn't take the shadow of the One-horned Ghost King seriously and thought he had a sure win.
Who knew that the opponent's move was a means he had never heard of or seen before. A black lightning was so powerful that it made his soul empty and his realm unstable. If it was hit again, maybe even his cultivation would decline.
The gray soul tried desperately to dodge, but the black lightning was like a maggot on the tarsal bone. It seemed that it couldn't be avoided no matter how it was dodged. In a blink of an eye, it struck the gray soul, and then he heard a scream and rolled over again holding his head.
The shadow of the One-horned Ghost King did not pursue the victory, but watched the gray Yuanshen rolling on the ground indifferently. After a long time, he saw that the gray Yuanshen gradually adapted to the pain and stood up from the ground with difficulty, and then he said: "How is it, is this lesson profound enough? It's just a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and you dare to be arrogant in front of this king?"
This lesson is indeed profound enough. The gray Yuanshen didn't know how to send out the black lightning attack for the first time. Now that he saw the other party use the second black lightning with his own eyes, and experienced the power of black lightning at the same time, how dare he be arrogant in front of the One-horned Ghost King?
More importantly, the gray Yuanshen has recognized that this one-horned old man is not a Yuanshen at all, but just a mark left in this person's Yuanshen by a master with a special method. Just a mark has such power, so how powerful should the one-horned old man be?
And the other party's tone is also scary. His own late-stage Nascent Soul realm seems not worth mentioning in the other party's mouth. Could this person be a great power of transformation? No wonder the other party only left a mark in the soul of others, which made me suffer so much. I didn't expect that my luck would be so bad. I waited in the cave for hundreds of years and finally waited for a person who could possess the body. The other party was the one who was taken care of by the great master of the transformation of the spirit. Should I give up?
You can't just take possession of the body if you want to. Every time you take possession of the body, whether it succeeds or fails, it can cause great damage to the vitality of the cultivator. And he himself has not much life left. The purpose of taking possession is not to replace a body with better qualifications, nor is it for better development in the future. I just want to use a body to go out and fulfill some unfulfilled wishes. If I fail this time, not only will my vitality be seriously damaged, but the little I originally had will also be consumed, and my wish may not be fulfilled at all.
The gray soul was very unwilling, and wanted to fight with the suspected great master of the transformation of the spirit on the opposite side. The other party was just a mark, and I was a complete soul, and I would not necessarily lose. But thinking about the power of the black lightning before, he stopped thinking and decided to find out the situation first. So he looked at the One-Horned Ghost King opposite him and asked, "Who are you?"
The shadow of the One-Horned Ghost King knew that the other party was already scared, so he smiled at the other party and said, "It's okay to tell you. Hundreds of years ago, I was the One-Horned Ghost King, the master of the first hall of the Ten Kings Hall in the depths of the Netherworld. You, a junior, may not have heard of it."
After the One-Horned Ghost King reminded him, he suddenly remembered some past events. The Ten Kings Hall is a super powerful force in the entire Netherworld. The masters of each hall are powerful people with influence almost throughout the Netherworld. The master of the first hall of the Ten Kings Hall was indeed called the One-Horned Ghost King.
Hundreds of years ago, when this gray Yuanshen was still a Jindan cultivator, he heard that the One-Horned Ghost King was a ghost cultivator in the late Yuanying stage. If this person is really the One-Horned Ghost King senior, then there is nothing wrong with calling him a junior.
Under normal circumstances, no matter whether it is a human cultivator, a ghost cultivator, a demon beast, or a spiritual creature, they all cannot escape the limitation of lifespan. It takes one hundred years to refine Qi, two hundred years to build the foundation, four hundred years to form the Golden Core, and one thousand years to form the Nascent Soul. There may be slight differences between individuals, but they are generally the same. This is the way of nature, and there are almost no exceptions.
