Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 236 The Spirits Gather, the Altar Opens, and the Battle Begins
At this moment, Chen Yushu was using the technique of communicating with the underworld, and with the help of this technique, he summoned many of the contracted spirits in the underworld.

Originally, Chen Yushu only planned to summon the Evil-Faced Ghost and the Red-Haired Corpse King, and let the Pig Demon Elephant stay in the Underworld to recuperate.

However, when he cast the spell, he sensed the desire of the Pig Demon Elephant to 'come out' through the Spirit Seal. In addition, he was also afraid that without the protection of the Evil-Faced Ghost and the Red-Haired Corpse King, the Pig Demon Elephant, with its injuries, would also encounter misfortune in the Underworld alone.

So they pulled it out as well.

At this moment, the three spirits appeared together, and a terrifying aura spread out, immediately shocking the surrounding ghosts.

Because they could sense that these three suddenly appearing ghosts not only possessed powerful auras, but were also far more ferocious than countless other ghosts of the same realm.

This was also the first time Chen Yushu had actually summoned all three contracted spirits for use in battle.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yushu did not linger and stood directly in front of the altar.

With a thought, as his spiritual energy dispersed, he began casting the spell again, and instantly, the altar was activated.

Although the method of setting up an altar requires a lot of preparation beforehand, and after the stall is set up, it is even more necessary to connect with it with one's spiritual power, like casting a spell, to activate it.

However, Chen Yushu had already mastered the art of opening altars to a high level. When he used the art, he was naturally quick and easy, and he completed the spell in just two breaths.

At this moment, Zhu Jiuzhi, who was still fighting against the evil-level deity, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because his helper had finally arrived.

The first to rush out was the evil-faced ghost.

It was fast and had excellent jumping ability. As soon as it appeared, it immediately identified the enemy and rushed to the front of the spirit of the gods in a flash. Its arms turned into horizontal blades and slashed swiftly.

boom!
The opponent also possessed a ghostly weapon, a ruler-like object, which collided with the evil-faced ghost's arms in an instant.

The evil-faced demon paused for a moment, then flew backward rapidly.

Although the evil-faced ghost is fierce, its combat power is unmatched among those in the same realm.

However, this spirit of gods and demons is, after all, at the early stage of the evil level, and its power level is a whole realm higher than Zhu Jiuzhi's.

No matter how fierce the evil-faced ghost's combat power is, it is only at the mid-stage of the evil level, so it is naturally no match for him.

Fortunately, at that moment, the red-haired zombie king also rushed up.

But just like that, he was also knocked away in one move.

The three evil spirits attacked one after another, but none of them were a match for the Investiture of the Gods' Evil Spirits.

"Roar!"

It was also at this time.

A thunderous roar was heard.

A terrifying aura of yin energy spread out.

The next moment, the enormous boar-elephant rushed over and swung its long, thick trunk fiercely.

boom!
The evil spirit of the Investiture of the Gods wanted to use the same trick again, so it swung the ruler and slashed fiercely.

Who knew that the pig-like elephant was not only enormous and had amazing defensive capabilities, but also possessed immense strength.

In this way, the nose not only blocked the ruler of the evil spirit, but also swept over it like a whirlwind, sending it flying.

Although the Pig Demon Elephant was only a peak evil spirit and was injured, its enormous soul body contained terrifying power within its body. Even a demon-level evil spirit would be a step weaker in terms of absolute power.

Of course, the gap in skill level is not so easy to bridge.

Fengshen Guiling quickly regained his footing, and then, in a flash, appeared to the left of the Pig Demon Elephant, lashing out with a ruler.

lie!
The pig-demon staggered, its soul trembled, and a faint trace of its soul essence dissipated.

The soul, spirit, and essence are the foundation of ghosts and spirits.

It is equivalent to a cultivator's Dao Yuan, and once it dissipates, it is difficult to recover in a short period of time.

When the soul and essence within a ghost completely dissipate, the ghost itself will naturally be unable to sustain itself and will perish, its soul scattered.

Seeing this, the spirit of the gods took a deep breath of soul essence and immediately attacked again, wanting to press its advantage.

Fortunately, at this moment, the evil-faced demon and the red-haired corpse king attacked it simultaneously from the left and right.

The two ghosts retracted the ruler and quickly blocked the two people's attacks.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the pig-like elephant swung its trunk and charged forward.

Three evil spirits simultaneously battle against the spirits of the gods.

Although you may not gain any immediate advantage, you can still hold off the attack.

but.

It was also at this time.

The leader of the Evil God Cult this time, Nine-Stem Daoist, also rushed over.

He abandoned Zhou Qing and the wine gourd, heading straight for Chen Yushu.

Firstly, he knew that by performing the ritual, Chen Yushu's strength would inevitably increase significantly, putting immense pressure on those ghosts and spirits.

Secondly, in his view, Chen Yushu was the youngest. Although he vaguely revealed the aura of the Dao Realm, he must have just broken through not long ago. Not only was his combat experience insufficient, but his methods were also relatively immature.

After all, what normal cultivator would set up an altar before the start of a battle?

It is important to understand that if the altar is to function effectively and possess power, then the prior arrangements must be appropriate. The location of the altar, its orientation, and the placement of various ceremonial items and instruments are all subject to special considerations.

If the arrangement is not done properly, it will affect the power of the altar.

Even the most experienced Yin-Yang practitioners need at least half an hour to prepare.

Not to mention, the rituals and incantations that align with the principles of heaven and earth at the time of opening the altar are ancient and sometimes require worshipping heaven and earth, praying to ancestors, burning incense and bathing before the altar is truly opened.

And what about the other party? From the moment they started setting up their stall to now, only a dozen or so breaths have passed.

Moreover, this altar was extremely simple, lacking not only ceremonial regalia but also suitable protective objects.

The only thing that surprised him was the spirit that the other party had summoned.

Four evil spirits.

He found two of them particularly familiar.

It seems to be the Soul-Sealing Ghost, the Evil-Faced Ghost, and the Pig Demon Elephant from the legendary book "Hundred Ghosts' Night Tour" by the Taoist of a Hundred Ghosts.

These two ghosts, thanks to the Taoist of a Hundred Ghosts, are not exactly famous, but they have left a deep impression on many people.

He made great contributions in the successive battles.

I had my doubts, but I didn't really care.

Although these two ghosts are famous, they are only at the evil level and do not pose much of a threat to him.

Therefore, he was confident that if he took action and cooperated with the supernatural spirits at the level of the Sealed God, he would be able to resolve the situation in a very short time and quickly join other battlefields to completely end the battle.

"The heavens possess three wonders: the sun, the moon, and the stars, which penetrate heaven and earth, startling ghosts and gods. Now I, Chen Yushu, open the altar to perform rituals, to exterminate evil and eliminate wickedness. So be it!"

Chen Yushu didn't care about the arrival of the Nine-Stem Daoist.

With a calm expression, he finally opened the jar completely.

As soon as he finished speaking...

In the void, there was a special power that resonated with his entire altar.

In an instant, he felt an absolute grasp of the world around him, as if he had a special control over the rules governing the combination and correspondence of the elements in the world.

"Where is Zhu Jiuzhi?!"

Chen Yushu gave a low shout.

"Little is here!"

Zhu Jiuzhi, who was about to join the battle, quickly responded.

"I hereby appoint you as the Left Divine General of my altar, to suppress evil spirits and vanquish malevolent forces!"

Chen Yushu's gaze fell on Zhu Jiuzhi, and he pointed at him.

boom!
Instantly, the sinful bones on the altar, various magical artifacts, and numerous ancient artifacts and talismans below, along with streams of mysterious power from the surrounding void, transformed into streams of light and poured into Zhu Jiuzhi's body. Immediately afterward, his aura surged dramatically.

One time, two times, three times...

It increased fivefold before it stopped.

Looking at him now, his already peak evil spirit state has surged even higher, breaking through to the level of the Demonic Spirit, reaching the peak of the early stage of the Demonic Spirit, and only one step away from the middle stage of the Demonic Spirit.

"go with!"

Chen Yushu waved his hand.

With his soul body surging and his strength greatly increased, Zhu Jiuzhi immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed directly to the level of the Demon-level Sealed God Ghost Spirit, unleashing a punch.

boom!
The powerful, god-level ghost spirit that had just been displaying its might was immediately sent flying backward. Its soul body also trembled, and a trace of its soul essence dissipated, slightly damaging its power.

Although it was quickly replenished by the red mist of faith stored within its body, it had already undergone a tremendous change compared to before.

"Where is the Red-Haired Corpse King?!"

Chen Yushu, drink again!
"Ow!"

The red-haired zombie king howled in response.

It naturally had its own consciousness, and seeing Zhu Jiuzhi become so brave and powerful under the blessing of the altar, it was also very excited.

"Wind, you are the right-hand deity seated on my altar. With your power, I will swiftly exorcise evil and vanquish all evil spirits!"

Then he pointed again.

Under the influence of the altar, the aura emanating from the red-haired corpse king suddenly intensified.

As if blessed by heaven and earth, its body instantly grew to an enormous size, and when it stepped on the ground, the stone slabs dented slightly, as if they could not bear the weight.

Its strength and power have more than doubled compared to before.
Evil level!

this moment.

It also stepped into the level of the Demon, and its pair of red eyes seemed to become bewitching at this moment.

"Roar!"

It roared and leaped forward, heading straight for the Nine-Stem Taoist who was rushing over.

Nine-Stem Daoist was utterly shocked to see Chen Yushu set up the altar in the blink of an eye, directly merging with heaven and earth.

He prided himself on his extensive knowledge and experience, claiming that over the years he had seen at least seventy or eighty cultivators perform altar-opening rituals, if not a hundred, and that he himself had performed altar-opening rituals many times.

But never before had it been so simple as Chen Yushu's, yet the specifications seemed to be extremely high.

This can be seen from the intense fluctuations of primordial energy in the sky.

The aura and fluctuations of the primordial energy it stirred up were truly unlike anything he had ever seen in his life.

It felt as if the entire world was helping the other person.

The other party is like the chosen one of heaven and earth; anyone who opposes or becomes an enemy of them is a child abandoned by heaven and earth and will be annihilated.

This, how is this possible?

He carefully examined the other party's altar once again.

I want to see the differences.

But nothing was found.

To anyone who looked at it, it was an extremely simple and crude altar.

Even the place where it was placed was not a high position, but a relatively low place on the edge.

No matter how you look at it, this place is unsuitable for setting up an altar. Of all the power of heaven and earth that can be borrowed, only three or four out of ten will be available.

"Damn.

Where did this expert come from?

Nine-Stem Taoist cursed inwardly, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and make a move.

He flung out a black bell with one hand.

Jingle Bell!
As soon as the bell rang, the nine-headed zombies rushed in front of him and lined up in formation.

"go with!"

Then he gave a low shout, and zombies sprang out, quickly heading towards the red-haired zombie king.

He then took out flags and quickly arranged them on the ground, forming an image that resembled an arrow.

Then he stood at the very end of the arrow and immediately sprinkled a layer of black powder on it.

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, Heavenly Venerable, lend us your power!"

He uttered a low growl.

It seems as if I've formed a connection with some unseen entity.

Then he felt a surge of energy, reached for his waist, and pulled out a small, blood-red knife.

"go with!"

He gave a low shout, and the blood-red dagger flew far in front of the arrow.

collapse!
Almost instantly, it transformed into a streak of light and shot straight out.

aims.

It points directly at Chen Yushu!
And at this time.

Chen Yushu, however, was still rapidly mustering his troops!
Where is the evil-faced demon?

I hereby appoint you as the Left Protector General, and with the blessing of the altar, you shall eradicate evil and eliminate wickedness!

Where is the Pig Demon Elephant?

I hereby appoint you as the Right Guardian General. With the blessing of the altar, you shall sit in the center, protecting the altar and guarding the formation!

Next came the evil-faced demon and the pig-like demon elephant.

The two ghosts also received the blessing of the altar's power, and their auras surged.

Although not as direct as Zhu Jiuzhi and the Red-haired Corpse King, which increased fivefold.

However, it also gained three times the power, making it significantly stronger than before in both aura and strength.

Immediately afterwards, the evil-faced ghost flashed and, just like the red-haired zombie king, directly faced the many zombies of the Nine-Zombie Taoist.

These zombies he created were all handpicked by him. They were either exceptionally talented martial artists with strong physiques, or they retained their martial arts instincts and combat awareness even after being transformed into zombies.

Alternatively, they could be powerful cultivators among those who practice Yin Body Refinement. After being baptized by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, their bodies become robust and more suitable for transforming into corpse refiners. Once formed, they have excellent growth potential and have the opportunity to reach the level of a calamity-level or even a top-grade corpse refiner.

The strongest one now has reached the peak of the evil zombie level, and in terms of combat power, it is actually a notch stronger than Zhu Jiuzhi.

After all, no matter how solid the soul is, it is still not as powerful and truly terrifying as the physical body.

But at this moment, the red-haired zombie king charged directly into the zombie horde, its terrifying power spreading out, rampaging and disrupting their formation in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the evil-faced ghost used the momentum to flash and rushed directly into the horde of corpses.

Then it transformed its hands into blades, seized the opportunity, and slashed fiercely at one of the evil zombies' arms.

puff! !

A zombie at the late-stage Evil level had its entire arm severed.

Smooth as silk.

There was almost no sense of stagnation.

……

I was a little delayed this morning!
