Mortal: Supreme Being of the Ghost Path

"These strange gray mists..." Qin Han held his breath, secretly speculating, "Could they be the primal power of the Howling Soul Beast?"

Qin Han stared intently at the changes in mid-air, his expression extremely serious.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

As more and more of the gray mist was drawn away, the body of the Soul-Crying Beast became increasingly transparent, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

At the same time, its hissing gradually weakened, and its bright green fur completely lost its luster, turning withered and dull yellow...

Finally, the moment the last wisp of gray mist was drawn out of the body, the Soul-Crying Beast's body suddenly stiffened!

Strange black runes began to appear on its body.

The runes were densely packed, covering the entire body of the Howling Soul Beast, from its limbs to its torso, from its torso to its head, and finally converging on its back.

It was a picture of a ferocious demon, its eyes filled with a strong bloodlust.

The evil spirit had a blue face and fangs, bloodshot eyes, and spewed out pitch-black ghostly mist. It was so lifelike that it seemed as if it might break free from the back of the Soul-Crying Beast at any moment!

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing wail erupted from the mouth of the Soul-Crying Beast!

The voice was shrill and piercing, neither male nor female, and it made the whole world buzz.

Seeing such a horrifying scene, even Qin Han's soul couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he was secretly shocked.

How did this Crying Soul Beast become so violent after its essence was extracted?

Just then, the Soul-Crying Beast suddenly opened its eyes!

Those once bright and clear eyes had now turned into two crimson, fiery lights.

His pupils were devoid of any reason, filled only with a strong sense of madness and violence, like a ferocious beast that had been completely enraged.

But when it opened its mouth, it let out a low roar at Qin Han, its limbs struggling wildly in the air, as if it wanted to pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

Qin Han watched this scene with a cold eye, his face remaining calm and composed.

"Hmph." He snorted coldly, and with a mere thought, the enormous black and white tornado in the sky suddenly began to spin!

The gray mist that had been drawn out was sucked into the tornado and changed color, turning into a flawless white glow.

Then, following the slowly rotating giant tornado, it surged back into the body of the Crying Soul Beast.

The white rays of light, like a flood bursting its banks, were drawn in by the black and white tornadoes and poured wildly into the limbs and bones of the Howling Soul Beast.

Every inch of meridian and every acupoint was filled with that supreme yang energy, which collided fiercely with the remaining supreme yin energy within its body, merging and recombining.

At the same time, the howling of the Soul-Crying Beast became even more shrill, its body trembled violently in mid-air, its scarlet eyes flashed with blood-red light, and every hair on its body stood on end, as if it was enduring an unimaginable pain.

The hideous demonic pattern was writhing wildly on its back, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, seemingly resisting the white light that kept pouring into the Soul-Crying Beast's body.

Qin Han watched this scene expressionlessly, but his mind was racing.

Logically speaking, the Soul-Crying Beast is an extremely yin and cold beast that feeds on yin spirits and ghosts, making it the natural nemesis of all ghost cultivators in the world.

Now, he uses the Creation Cauldron to reverse Yin and Yang, forcibly extracting the ultimate Yin power from its origin and then re-infusing it with ultimate Yang power...

After this transformative refining process, what will this beast become?

Qin Han's gaze fell on the Soul-Crying Beast's eyes, which were flashing with blood-red light, and he thought to himself:

"I hope the newly refined Soul-Crying Beast won't disappoint me."

Watching the Soul-Crying Beast being continuously refined in mid-air, Qin Han did not stay here to continue watching. Instead, with a thought, his figure became blurry and suddenly disappeared from the world within the cauldron.

……

Meanwhile, in the land of ghosts and vengeance.

The gloomy fog continued to churn, and suddenly a faint ripple appeared in mid-air. Then, Qin Han's figure appeared out of thin air.

He reappeared in his physical form, his cold, blood-red eyes gazing in the direction where Han Li and the others had left.

"Next..." he muttered to himself, "I should go find a suitable body to possess."

After all, having a physical body is essential to escaping this haunted place and makes movement easier.

There's a whole lot more to come for him!

Thinking this, his figure suddenly became blurry and indistinct, turning into a wisp of gray-black ghostly mist, and flew straight towards the depths of the Ghostly Land.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

A hazy, gloomy mist surged and undulated in this haunted place, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Occasionally, a few wandering, malevolent spirits would flit through the mist, emitting low hisses, before vanishing into the eerie fog in an instant.

At that moment, Qin Han slowly revealed his form, hovering in mid-air and looking down at a distance not far away.

However, Han Li and his two companions were proceeding cautiously.

Upon closer inspection, it was seen that Yuan Yao no longer concealed her appearance and openly revealed her true face. It seemed that she had confessed during the journey, which was in line with the plot of the original work.

However, his face was still pale, clearly indicating that his injuries had not yet healed.

Zi Ling, however, had her brows furrowed slightly, looking worried.

Han Li walked at the very front, still extremely cautious, his divine sense fully activated, constantly paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Qin Han's gaze did not linger on them for long.

His gaze passed over Han Li and the other two, and landed further away.

Several miles away, three unfamiliar auras were slowly stepping into the range of his divine sense.

The three cultivators were all dressed in black robes, and their bodies were surrounded by a faint demonic aura, clearly indicating that they were demonic cultivators.

The leader was a burly and tall man with a cultivation level that had reached the late stage of Core Formation. However, his aura was somewhat strange, with a hint of sluggishness.

It seems that he had been stuck in a bottleneck for many years and was unable to break through to the peak of the Core Formation stage, which is why he risked entering the Void Heaven Palace to try his luck.

As for the other two cultivators, they were much less powerful, both at the early stage of Core Formation, and their auras were far less robust than the leader's.

The two followed closely behind, their expressions respectful. They were likely juniors or junior brothers of the late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

"One late-stage Core Formation cultivator, two early-stage Core Formation cultivators..." Qin Han sneered, an idea immediately forming in his mind. "It would be perfect to have Han Li deal with these three."

Although Han Li's Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder is powerful, it is not something that can be recovered overnight after it is depleted.

The number of divine lightning bolts on his body is limited; each bolt used reduces the remaining amount, but for him, it is already a considerable number.

At least with his own strength, the hope of defeating Han Li, who possesses the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, is extremely slim. Even with the Creation Cauldron, it would still be somewhat difficult.

This treasure consumes too much energy, and since he doesn't have any rare and precious materials like the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Liquid that can quickly restore his mana, he naturally doesn't dare to rely on it too much.

Therefore, the only option is to take advantage of Han Li's current presence in the Ghostly Vengeance Land and deplete as much of his divine lightning as possible. This way, when they reach the inner palace of the Void Heaven Palace, their chances will be much greater.

After all, the inner hall contained invaluable treasures, including the Azure Ice Flame, the Void Heaven Cauldron, and the legendary Heaven-Mending Pill.

When they start fighting, how can he, a ghost who has not yet truly entered the path of ghosts, manage to maneuver in the midst of it if he doesn't have a few trump cards up his sleeve?

And then there's that Xuan Gu Old Demon, who's also an extremely troublesome problem.

Leaving aside whether Han Li could defeat him, that Xuan Gu Old Demon was not someone a half-baked "ghost cultivator" like him could possibly mess with.

If we don't plan ahead, we might not even get a taste of the soup in the end, so we must act first!

With this in mind, Qin Han no longer hesitated. His figure flashed out of the ghostly mist and flew straight towards Han Li and the other two.
