Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 464 Hungry Ghost
The six new town seals each had different abilities, and Chen Xin tested them one by one to familiarize himself with their abilities.

First up is the Mountain of Knives Seal!

The guide corresponding to this seal performed rather poorly at the time. When fighting against the people of the six clans of the Great Xia, he simply used the weapons that grew from his body to attack.

Although the swordsmen could be controlled for precise strikes after being thrown out, due to the problem with the guides, they did not perform much when encountering gold-grade equipment.

So much so that the guide was reduced to half his flesh and blood, reduced to skin and bones, yet he still couldn't harm anyone and was ultimately beheaded.

However, this is a guide.

When Chen Xin followed the energy to the sixth level of the Netherworld and saw the true form of the God of Chaos, he was shocked by its nearly thousand-meter-tall size.

Of all the mortal beings Chen Xin encountered, the Styx River was the largest, followed by this mountain peak devoid of flowers, grass, and trees, yet teeming with weapons.

The moment Chen Xin revealed himself, he was locked onto and then surrounded by hundreds and thousands of weapons flying down from the mountain.

Each of those weapons emanated a blood-red, murderous aura.

The malevolent energy acted like a propulsion system, propelling the weapon to an extremely high speed.

If Chen Xin were to rely solely on himself, he would have no chance of outrunning those weapons. However, Chen Xin possesses the Tongyou Seal and the Paper Seal.

After dodging several attacks using the Tongyou Seal, Chen Xin wondered if he should test whether the Paper Seal's ability to ignore attacks and remain hidden would work on these weapons.

So, he first used the power of the Netherworld to escape the attack range of the Mountain of Knives, and then summoned the sedan chair.

As a result, when Chen Xin approached the mountain of knives in his sedan chair, he was immediately discovered by the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the sedan chair was engulfed by countless weapons.

Although he couldn't escape the gaze of the mountain of knives, those weapons also failed to harm Chen Xin.

Weapons pierced through the sedan chair one by one, leaving no mark on Chen Xin.

So Chen Xin prepared to ride in a sedan chair and swagger towards the mountain of knives to carry out the subsequent suppression.

It's unclear whether Chen Xin's attitude angered the mountain of knives, or whether the mountain sensed danger, but when Chen Xin was still a hundred meters away from the mountain, the murderous aura on the flying weapons changed from blood-red to white.

When the weapon trailing white light pierced through the paper sedan chair, Chen Xin was stunned.

A glimmer of white light remained inside the sedan chair.

It's like a clean floor suddenly getting stained.

As more and more weapons passed through, more and more white light clung to the sedan chair.

Before they had even covered the 100-meter distance, the hidden sedan chair began to emit white light from all sides, turning the black sedan chair into white!

Just then, all the white light suddenly surged towards Chen Xin in the sedan chair.

In an instant, Chen Xin saw many scenes as if he were there.

An executioner brandished his guillotine and chopped off Chen Xin's neck; Chen Xin was the sinner kneeling on the ground being beheaded.

A soldier grabbed a long sword and stabbed it into the heart of an enemy; Chen Xin was the enemy who was strung up.

A butcher plunged a sharp knife into the neck of a fat pig, and blood spurted out. Chen Xin was that pig.

There were also thieves who followed elderly people in the alley, snatched their wallets, and then stabbed them to death with a dagger. Chen Xin was the elderly man who was lying in the alley clutching his abdomen, his body cold.

Scenes flashed before Chen Xin's eyes like a series of slideshows, and Chen Xin experienced different ways of dying again and again.

Just as Chen Xin felt his head was about to explode, the illusion triggered the substitution effect, and countless wounds appeared on his body before he was reduced to ashes.

In the instant he regained consciousness, Chen Xin abandoned the sedan chair and used his supernatural powers to arrive at the mountain of knives, where he placed a palm strike on it.

When the "Complete Collection of Suppressing Objects" appeared, all the weapons that Daoshan had shot at Chen Xin were absorbed by the "Complete Collection of Suppressing Objects".

Immediately afterwards, the mountain of knives was torn apart like cabbage by hand, becoming countless weapons, which were then incorporated into the "Complete Collection of Town-Suppressing Objects".

After obtaining the Knife Mountain Seal, Chen Xin imprinted it on himself.

With a wave of his hand, a hundred-meter-high mountain of swords, entirely composed of blades, appeared before Chen Xin.

As Chen Xin focused his mind, the mountain of knives shot out countless blades like a machine gun.

The weapons that were shot out had a red glow of malevolent energy and a white glow of blade energy.

The attack of malevolent energy and the illusion created by the sword energy combine to transform the illusion into reality!
After mastering the Knife Mountain Seal, Chen Xin took out a seal that he had prepared beforehand, engraved with the words "Underworld".

He then used up 10,000 units of Yin Virtue to imprint the Mountain of Knives Seal on it, and then threw it to the warden of the Copper Pillar Prison, who was the wise ghost Bai Ying whom he had captured earlier.

Thus, hell was further burdened with the punishment of being hit by a mountain of knives.

After the Knife Mountain Seal, Chen Xin successively suppressed several other seals: the Iron Tree Seal, the Ice Mountain Seal, the Starving Corpse Seal, and the Mirror of Retribution Seal.

These four seals correspond to the four guides who were with Wang Taihong, the Grand Guide of the Divine Envoy, when he was captured.

The iron tree had appeared in Mubei City before, specifically when Chen Xin obtained the bronze pillar seal. The Mubei City Investigation Bureau was reduced to ruins by the iron tree.

However, Chen Xin failed to find the corresponding God of the Turbid World through the guide that time, and he did not expect that the Iron Tree Seal would eventually fall into his hands.

The Iron Tree Seal can create a continuously growing iron tree, whose iron leaves can be transformed into hidden weapons to attack anything within range.

The leaves of the iron tree can not only be used for attack, but when a leaf is left inside a target, whether the target is human or ghost, the leaf will turn into a seed and grow into a new iron tree using the target's body as soil.

Chen Xin conducted an experiment with a group of birds in the mortal world. Dozens of birds caused dozens of iron trees, each one meter tall, to grow.

Each cycad can shoot out hundreds of leaves.

If this cycle continues and enough targets are found, it's not impossible for a forest of ironwood trees to grow.

Chen Xin even wondered what it would be like to throw an ironwood tree into a primeval forest or into the sea.

After the situation of the Iron Tree Seal was clarified, it was also imprinted on a physical seal, becoming the third type of punishment in hell, the Iron Tree Punishment.

Then came the Iceberg Mark.

Similar to the Knife Mountain Seal, the Ice Mountain Seal can transform into a giant ice mountain.

This was the first time Chen Xin had ever seen ghosts, evil spirits, and the power of blood and qi that could be frozen!

Once frozen by the iceberg's freezing air, you can choose to kill what's inside or keep the target inside the iceberg.

Whether it's inanimate objects like ghosts, vital energy, or malevolent spirits, or even people, they can all be preserved.

It was quite capable of dealing with ghosts and spirits, but Chen Xin always subconsciously regarded it as a giant refrigerator.

After consideration, Chen Xin also threw the Iceberg Seal into the first level of hell, thus creating the fourth type of punishment in hell.

After all, being constantly enveloped by icebergs, with one's consciousness alive but one's body unable to move, is a form of torture.

After the Iceberg Seal, it was named the Starving Corpse Seal.

This is also the most unique seal that Chen Xin has obtained this time.

The characteristic of the Starving Corpse Seal previously manifested in the Guide was that it could devour the power of its target.

For example, Li Yifeng, who was fighting the starving corpses at the time, had his fire-attribute blood energy devoured and used to fight him.

After Chen Xin entered the sixth floor, he saw a 'person' with a round, bulging belly!
This was also the first time Chen Xin had seen a humanoid god of the turbid world in the netherworld.

That 'person' possesses all the parts of a human body.

Although its belly was very large, the rest of its body was just skin and bones.

When Chen Xin controlled his illusory body to meet the completely black eyes of that 'person', the other party did nothing, and both the illusory body and Chen Xin felt hungry.

This feeling of hunger is more than just wanting to eat.

It's less about hunger and more about a desire, a greedy desire.

When hunger struck, the first thing that came to Chen Xin's mind wasn't wanting to eat, but rather that he didn't have enough Suppression Seals and needed to continue suppressing the God of Turbidity. He needed more Suppression Seals!

The thought arose, and Chen Xin felt an irresistible urge to wander through the sixth level, searching for other mortal gods and sealing them away. This hunger only subsided after Chen Xin summoned his illusory body back.

After that, Chen Xin conducted several more tests.

Each time brings a different feeling, all sorts of strange and wonderful ones.

For example, they might feel that there aren't enough underworld officials and need to recruit more.

For example, they might feel that the underworld doesn't have enough territory and want to include more areas of darkness within its boundaries.

For example, as an information sorter at the Bureau of Polling, he felt that the salary the Bureau paid him was not high enough, and he wanted to be the director and receive a higher salary.

For example, if you can't write a novel fast enough, and you want to write 100,000 words a day.

For example, the sun in the ancestral land of the Great Xia is amazing, and we want to bring it to the underworld.

All of these things, though outrageous, are related to Chen Xin.

In other words, Chen Xin could directly escape the other party's gaze; otherwise, it's hard to know what he would do under that increasingly strong 'hunger'.

In subsequent tests, Chen Xin discovered that he would not feel hungry as long as he did not make eye contact with the other person.

Therefore, Chen Xin directly used the Zhen Seal he had previously obtained to test the opponent's strength.

Chen Xin summoned the Mountain of Knives, which shot towards the opponent.

But what happened next left Chen Xin speechless.

That ravenous creature actually spat out a hundred-meter-high mountain of knives from its open mouth.

When Chen Xin's weapons struck the enemy's mountain of blades, they were all absorbed and then reflected back to Chen Xin.

The two mountains of knives shot at each other in the netherworld.

Chen Xin seemed to have thought of something and summoned the iceberg again.

As he expected, the starving ghost vomited up an iceberg from its stomach.

It completely disregarded whether its belly could hold such a large iceberg.

The same applies to the Iron Tree Seal that followed.

It seemed that as long as Chen Xin could use his abilities, he could make that starving ghost vomit out of its own stomach.

This situation is remarkably similar to when the six clans of the Great Xia dealt with the Guide.

However, the guide's abilities were far inferior to those of this starving ghost.

After using the Iron Tree Seal, Chen Xin did not summon the Suppression Seal again.

Even the Tongyou Seal was useless to Chen Xin.

Fearing that the other party would steal the power of the Netherworld Seal, he left the sixth level of the Netherworld immediately!

That would be great fun.

After that, Chen Xin also considered getting closer to the other party.

But once he gets close, attacks from icebergs, knife mountains, and iron trees all come at him, preventing Chen Xin from getting closer.

Unable to use the Netherworld Seal, Chen Xin was also unable to traverse that distance and appear on the other's face.

After a period of stalemate, Chen Xin suddenly thought of something.

If the other party can steal anything, then... what about the "Complete Collection of Talismans"?

Chen Xin doesn't believe it!

Immediately, Chen Xin summoned the "Complete Collection of Suppressing Objects" in front of the other party.

Sure enough, the hungry ghost didn't react at all; it couldn't see anything!

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xin summoned the mesh sieve from the town's encyclopedia.

The other party will not see the "Complete Guide to Suppressing Objects," but they will see him taking the objects from mid-air.

Immediately, the hungry ghost opened its mouth, as if trying to vomit something out of its stomach.

But this time, it gagged for a long time but couldn't vomit.

This situation amused Chen Xin and also caused the hungry ghost to crash.

It seemed not to understand why it could replicate Chen Xin's power before, but not this one.

The consequence of the system crash was that the Mountain of Knives, the Ice Mountain, and the Iron Tree all stopped attacking and were defeated by Chen Xin's Mountain of Knives, the Ice Mountain, and the Iron Tree.

Without the three protective objects, all attacks were directed at the hungry ghost.

But the hungry ghost did not flee; it simply opened its mouth wide and absorbed all the attacks.

Even while swallowing, it kept spitting out mountains of knives, icebergs, and iron trees.

After the stalemate continued, the hungry ghost made a move.

It rushed towards Chen Xin, seemingly trying to find out why it couldn't replicate Chen Xin's abilities.

Chen Xin stood there, watching as the other party stretched out its withered claws and tore the illusion apart.

At the same time, Chen Xin used the Netherworld Seal to appear behind the Hungry Ghost and pressed his palm down on the Ghost's back.

The Complete Book of Talismans Shines Brightly.

At that moment, the hungry ghost suddenly disappeared and reappeared hundreds of meters away!

It stole the ability to communicate with spirits!
Chen Xin was startled, but he quickly calmed down.

Because the "Complete Collection of Town-Suppressing Objects" also appeared hundreds of meters away along with that hungry ghost.

Before the hungry ghost could react, it was stuffed into the book "Complete Collection of Tranquilizing Objects".

As Chen Xin entered the final chapter of "The Complete Book of Town-Suppressing Objects," he seemed to hear the unwilling roars of hungry ghosts.

Although Chen Xin didn't understand, he seemed to get the gist of it.

After all, that's the Soul-Connecting Seal!
The hungry ghost's hope of leaving the underworld was immediately shattered.

Chen Xin retrieved the "Complete Collection of Town-Suppressing Objects," which contained the imprints of the starving dead.

Unlike the Knife Mountain Seal and the Iron Tree Seal, the Starving Corpse Seal cannot materialize into a physical form.

The Starving Corpse Seal is more like a curse. After activating the Starving Corpse Seal, Chen Xin can directly cast a curse on the target, causing them to be in a 'starving' state.

This state of hunger can be inflicted not only on others, but also on Chen Xin himself.

After granting himself this ability, Chen Xin gained the same power as the previous hungry ghost: the ability to steal the abilities of others and the ability to devour enemy attacks.

However, the target of the plagiarism must be within Chen Xin's field of vision.

Once the target leaves the field of vision, the stolen abilities will also become invalid.

Similarly, if you cannot detect the target's attack, you cannot absorb it.

Overall, the Starving Corpse Seal is very powerful.

After all, even that hungry ghost could steal the power of the seal!
Chen Xin believed that as long as he added enough layers of the Hungry Ghost Seal, it would reach the level of that hungry ghost.

At that time, Chen Xin planned to give it a try and see if he could solve the problem of the River Styx using the power of the Starving Corpse Seal.

Or perhaps, they plagiarized a tributary of the River Styx and suppressed the River Styx from afar?
