Slaying Gods: Ancestral Witch Agent, Starting with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique

"Your body..."

"Cough cough... I know... the side effects of forcibly using the Forbidden Ruins with the Ghost God's Guidance."

"You will die."

"I know, hehe, to know what my Forbidden Ruins ability is before I die, and to use it to kill a mysterious being from the River Realm, I guess I didn't live my life in vain, hahaha... cough cough..."

Zhao Kongcheng said with a smile, "And... I did it..."

"What should be done?"

"Sword drawn against the abyss, blood staining the sky..."

"Kid, do me a favor." Zhao Kongcheng looked at Lin Qiye, who was supporting him.

"You said."

"I have a pack of cigarettes in my pocket, light it for me."

Lin Qiye took out cigarettes and a lighter.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

A lighter soaked by rain cannot light a cigarette at all.

Snapped!

Gu Tianchen, who was standing to the side, snapped his fingers lightly, and a wisp of purplish-red flame lit a cigarette.

Zhao Kongcheng smiled and looked at Gu Tianchen, "Your forbidden realm is really good, kid. Now I don't have to worry about anyone stealing your lighter anymore..."

"What kind of time is this to still be in the mood for jokes?"

"Hehe," Zhao Kongcheng took a deep breath, feeling completely refreshed, "I chopped down Ghost Face King with one stroke, did you all see that?"

"We saw it," the two said in unison.

Zhao Kongcheng's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled very happily.

The next second, the headless corpse, its head severed, slowly rose from the mud...

Lin Qiye's pupils contracted. The Ghost-Faced King was still alive?!

Just as he was about to make a move, Gu Tianchen waved his hand to stop him.

Gu Tianchen pointed to the Ghost-Faced King in the distance, then to himself, and finally looked into Lin Qiye's eyes and pointed to Zhao Kongcheng in his arms.

Lin Qiye understood his meaning: Gu Tianchen was going to deal with the Ghost Face King, and he was to take good care of Zhao Kongcheng.

The rain keeps falling.

Zhao Kongcheng's breath grew weaker and weaker in Lin Qiye's arms...

Gu Tianchen's eyes were filled with rage as he delivered a powerful punch that sent the Ghost-Faced King, who had just gotten up, flying.

boom! boom! boom!

Gu Tianchen's fists slammed into the pale ghost face of the Ghost-Faced King, causing the Ghost-Faced King to scream in agony.

A terrifying divine power emanated from Gu Tianchen, seemingly carrying endless death energy from the deepest part of the Netherworld.

When the pale ghost face on the Ghost King saw Gu Tianchen's eyes, which had suddenly turned gray, it was as if it had seen some extremely terrifying being. The Ghost King's body trembled incessantly, and a fear from the depths of its soul overwhelmed its remaining sanity.

boom!

Gu Tianchen's fist was covered in surging black death energy, and he smashed the pale ghost face to pieces with one punch.

Inside the Pangu Temple.

Of the remaining eleven gray-blue statues, one developed a tiny crack the moment Zhao Kongcheng died in battle.

The enormous statue collapsed with a crash, turning into dust and dissipating within the hall.

From within the endless black death aura, a hunched old man in black robes, holding a skull scepter, slowly walked out.

Beneath the tattered black robe, the old man's face was obscured, but a low, ancient, and weathered whisper escaped his throat.

"May your soul return..."

Chapter 9 Sending General Zhao on his Triumphant Return!

"Resolved?"

"It's solved."

Lin Qiye glanced at Gu Tianchen, then looked at Zhao Kongcheng, who was already lifeless in his arms, and remained silent.

After a long while, Lin Qiye's eyes hardened, and he slowly spoke:

"I dislike owing favors to others the most. In exchange, I will protect this world for you for ten years."

Zhao Kongcheng lay in a pool of blood, as quiet as if he were asleep.

A pale golden orb floated above him; that was Zhao Kongcheng's soul.

As the black-robed elder inside the Pangu Temple uttered the words "Return, soul," Zhao Kongcheng's soul slowly flew into the temple.

Gu Tianchen frowned. The power that had allowed him to kill the Ghost-Faced King's true form seemed to have been bestowed upon him by the black-robed elder inside the Pangu Temple.

He sank his consciousness into the Pangu Temple, entering together with Zhao Kongcheng's soul.

"you are……"

Gu Tianchen looked at the old man in black robes with curiosity.

One of the remaining eleven statues is missing. I wonder which of the twelve ancestral witches this one is.

"I am Shebi Shi. Your friend's spirit of preferring death to surrender has moved me. It just so happens that I know some supernatural powers to manipulate souls, and I could not bear to see his soul scatter, so I took action. Young friend, you will not blame me, will you?" the black-robed old man asked.

"Senior, you are too kind. I am extremely grateful to you for saving my friend. Do you have any way to revive him?" Gu Tianchen asked hurriedly.

"Well..."

Shebi Shi was in a bit of a dilemma.

"Hahaha, you old poisoner, you tried to show off, but you got slapped in the face now, didn't you?" Zhu Rong mocked gleefully.

These days, I've been teaching Gu Tianchen supernatural powers and he's learned a lot of new words, which I can use to tease the old poison master.

Shebishi glanced at Zhurong and said, "The world has changed so much over the years, but your impulsive nature hasn't changed at all."

Did I ever say that resurrection was impossible?

"There's hope?!" A glimmer of expectation flashed in Gu Tianchen's eyes.

"Young friend, have you ever heard the story of Nuwa creating humans from clay?" Shebishi asked.

"Of course, I'll go to the garden right now and dig some up for you, sir." Gu Tianchen couldn't wait.

"Wait a minute."

Shebishi stopped Fang Tianchen and slowly said, "All things have spirits, and the human race is the best among them. If you want to rebuild your physical body, the ordinary mortal land of this world is definitely not enough."

"What do you need?"

"The origin of soil, the breath soil of the nine heavens."

"Um...do you have any?"

"I don't have any."

Gu Tianchen: (ー_ー)!!

"Then what the hell are you talking about?!"

"But don't worry, young friend, I will find a way to obtain the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Your friend's soul will be entrusted to me for safekeeping for now," said Shebi Shi.

"Senior, it's not that I don't believe you, but you can't even get out of this Pangu Temple. Where are you going to get a treasure like the Nine Heavens Breath Soil?"

Gu Tianchen pointed to the gate of the Pangu Temple.

At this moment, another task was added at the gate, which was the condition for Shebishi to leave.

It is far more difficult than Zhu Rong's.

The conditions for Shebishi to leave the game are: to devour the soul of a god who possesses the laws of death.

Just kidding. No matter which mythology you're in, Death is one of the most troublesome characters. Devouring their souls is harder than climbing to heaven.

Gu Tianchen had a premonition that this old man in black robes would never be able to leave the Pangu Temple in his lifetime.

Shebi Shi smiled slightly, "Who says that the Nine Heavens Breath Soil has to be found outside?"

"Alright, you old poisoner, stop keeping me in suspense. Don't worry, kid. Once my Houtu sister wakes up, she has the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. When that happens, I'll have this old poisoner use his Soul-Soothing Technique, and he'll definitely be able to save your friend," Zhu Rong said casually.

Gu Tianchen's eyes lit up. Oh right, there's Houtu Niangniang among the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Legend has it that she controls the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Maybe she won't even need the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and can directly revive Old Zhao!

Shebishi glared at Zhurong, "You're in such a hurry, you can't keep anything to yourself."

Zhu Rong slammed his halberd heavily onto the ground, sending up bursts of flames. "What's wrong, you old poisoner? You want to fight?"

"No, no, no, I admit defeat. I hope you, Lord Vulcan, will forgive my folly." Shebishi hurriedly waved his hands and admitted defeat.

His supernatural powers focus on the use of poison and the soul. In terms of fighting, few of the Twelve Ancestral Witches can defeat this hot-tempered brute.

Even Gonggong, who possessed water-based supernatural powers and was the natural counter to fire-based supernatural powers, was unable to overcome fire with water and was defeated by Zhurong. He didn't want to be beaten to a pulp by this fire-wielding brute as soon as he woke up.

With the awakening of Shebi Shi, Gu Tianchen gained three more supernatural abilities: [Poison of Godfall], [Moon of the Dead], and [Eye of the Netherworld].

[Poison of God's Demise: A deadly black poisonous mist emanates from the body; when cultivated to its extreme, it can cause even gods to fall.]

[Undead Moon: Summons a blood moon, can command the undead, and can perform soul attacks]

【The Eye of the Underworld: It can see through appearances to the true essence of things deep within their souls】

With these three supernatural abilities at his disposal, Gu Tianchen's combat power was greatly enhanced.

"Senior, I entrust the soul of my friend to your care." Gu Tianchen bowed to Shebi Shi.

"Don't worry, young friend, I will take good care of you." Shebishi nodded.

"The two seniors may have a long chat, now I take my leave."

Gu Tianchen's consciousness returned to its original state.

Inside the Pangu Temple.
