Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

Chapter 250 Invasion of the Spirit Realm!

Just as the spear formed from the mental impact pierced through the air...

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, which was covered by rolling dark clouds. In the flash of lightning, a sky-blue dragon-shaped spirit was circling in the sky.

A divine dragon appears, and thunder roars.

In the blink of an eye, a silver-white lightning dragon, seemingly about to pierce the black hole beneath the Crystal Lamp Spirit, roared and pierced through the heavens and earth as it fell.

When Xia Shen heard the booming sound, the thunder, comparable to the might of nature, had already struck the head of the Crystal Lamp Spirit.

The combined attack of the three holy beings, and the terrifying thunder dragon of the lightning cloud.

Despite the aggressive attack from these four legendary Pokémon, Chandelure remained calm and fearless.

Even though the mental impact that condensed into a spear pierced its bright yellow eye, and even though thunder, as powerful as the heavens, pierced its body from above.

The crystal chandelier seemed to feel no pain, still floating quietly in the air.

Are the attacks of the four mythical beasts not powerful enough?

it's not true.

Although their strength is greatly limited in the spirit world, divine beasts are still divine beasts.

Whether it was the mental shock or the rolling thunder, both visibly caused severe injuries to the crystal lamp spirit.

However, a continuous stream of transparent energy kept pouring into its broken body from the surrounding air.

Like a pump drawing in the power of the underworld, its body was restored to its original state in just a few breaths by the rich ghostly energy of the spirit world.

Immediately, like a supernova exploding, the abundant Ghost-type energy compressed within its body burst forth, and countless Shadow Balls containing explosive energy scattered indiscriminately, attacking all the surrounding Pokémon.

Even with such a scattered and disorganized attack pattern, the sheer power of the barrage of shadow orbs is still astonishing.

The Three Saints dared not be negligent; the massive protective barrier they formed together stood in front of Xia Shen and the hastily assembled Ghost Legion.

But the elves watching from the sidelines weren't so lucky; one by one, the seemingly insignificant Shadow Balls suddenly exploded upon reaching their destination.

Those Ghost-type Pokémon below the professional level who didn't have time to react were instantly annihilated, just like those Pokémon that had come into contact with the Flame of the Chandelier Spirit.

It then transformed into a soul, becoming nourishment for the world, and was absorbed by the Crystal Lamp Spirit, which was like a soul furnace.

As the aura of the Crystal Lantern Spirit continued to grow stronger, smaller Crystal Lantern Spirits emerged from the deep black hole beneath it.

The Shadow Balls scattered and rushed towards the Ghost-type Pokémon that were terrified. Those Pokémon that were seriously injured by the Shadow Balls but not killed instantly lost their lives.

Clearly, the Chandelier Spirits have only one goal: to use the souls of these spirits as fuel for their great leader!

…………

Xia Shen tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart.

He hadn't expected the crystal lamp spirit to be this powerful.

It withstood the attack of four divine beasts, and then used an unknown move to heal itself. After one round of fighting, its condition actually got better and better!

In this spirit world filled with soul energy and ghostly power, they are practically gods!

Without a doubt, the source of its power is that monster stone tablet.

Presumably, the monster slab is now hidden inside the body of this giant crystal lamp spirit, just like the fireball slab was back then.

But why is it that, despite both being stone tablets, Heatran can only be controlled by the Fireball Stone Tablet, while this Chandelier Spirit, which only has Champion-level strength, can control the Yokai Stone Tablet?

Xia Shen no longer had time to think about the answer to this question; he had more important things to do now.

[Yuke, you guys hold off this Chandelier Spirit for now, we'll go take care of the minions!]

This was not only to save the lives of those spirits, but more importantly, to stop the leader of the Crystal Lamp Spirits from continuing to strengthen.

If we don't cut off the potential sustenance supply to the Chandelier Spirits first, and continue to fight to sustain the war, it will only make it more difficult for them to fight.

Yukshi understood this as well, and replied telepathically: [Understood. Go quickly, or you'll never kill it.]

Even Yukshi had made up his mind to deal with this evil spirit that feeds on the souls of living beings.

It must never be allowed to exist in the world!

It exchanged a glance with Emlido and Arknom, and nodded in unison.

The three Saints dispersed and then flew around the giant crystal lamp, where supernatural energy gathered once again.

But this time it was no longer an attack move that was no different from Bai Yonggong's. Instead, it built a wall of light that isolated the Crystal Chandelier Spirit from the outside world.

Under pressure from playing away from home, and facing the Crystal Lamp Spirit, which was no different from a divine beast in the spirit world, they had no choice but to change their strategy and choose to defend and counterattack.

Meanwhile, Xia Shen had already mobilized the elven alliance and was charging towards the scattered crystal lamplight spirits.

…………

Perhaps because they had just awakened, there weren't as many of these minions as the Night Demon had said; there were only a little over a hundred.

However, quality is more important than quantity in warfare, and these hundred crystal lampfire spirits were frighteningly powerful.

There are as many as ten Elite Four level Pokémon alone.

The number of Heavenly Kings was greater than that of the allied forces led by Xia Shen.

Dusknoir, Marshadow, Zoroark, Gengar, Mismagius, Woodpecker, and three Dragapults.

Aside from the Goomy Dragon leader, whose strength had decreased by a level in the Spirit Realm, these Elite Four-level Pokémon dispersed and faced off against the Elite Four-level Chandelure Spirits who were reaping the souls of weaker Pokémon.

Xia Shen also rode Garchomp, leading his Pokémon into the battlefield.

The situation became deadlocked for a moment.

The good news is that we also have a champion-level Draco Barut.

The leader of Dorambaruto was highly respected among these spirits.

Under its leadership, the Ghost-type Pokémon that had been observing finally understood the current situation and joined the alliance.

Gradually, the panicked elves began to move in an orderly manner, sounding the horn of counterattack.

Although they are far weaker than the Chandelier Spirits, they are safe for the time being with the help of the Allied Forces.

The situation here has finally stabilized, and under Dorambaruto's leadership, there is even a faint trend of a counterattack.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Four Divine Beasts and the Chandelure Spirit continues in a tug-of-war.

Once you reach their level, it's definitely not something that can be solved in a short time.

Although Yuxi and the others didn't suffer any losses, they were helpless against the Chandelier Spirit, which was like a rogue, replenishing its strength while fighting.

However, as the number of crystal lampfire spirits emerging from the black hole continued to increase, alarm bells rang loudly in Xia Shen's mind.

The slight advantage we had painstakingly built up had not yet been converted into a decisive victory, and a new wave of enemy forces was about to fill the gap.

If we keep fighting like this, we'll eventually break down.

He felt a growing sense of unease; his side desperately needed a decisive, powerful elf.

As summer deepened, he looked up at the sky and saw rolling thunderclouds with lightning still swirling around.

He wondered if the lightning cloud could join the battle, perhaps there would be a turning point.

[Yukish, you three hold off the Chandelier Spirit, can we let Thundurus come and help us first?]

There will never be a way to break the deadlock if you don't try.

…………

Perhaps the intense battle left them no time to be distracted; without replying, the lightning clouds drifted in to support the battlefield.

Fearing that indiscriminate lightning might harm any spirits other than Chandelure, Thundurus dared not use lightning as recklessly as before, and instead lowered its flight altitude.

Attack the Chandelier Spirits with a less powerful but more accurate chain lightning attack.

Even so, the power of the divine beast was something that these Crystal Lamp Spirits, who were at most only at the Heavenly King level, could not withstand.

Some of the weakest of the chandelier spirits were killed on the spot.

The leader of the Crystal Lamp Fire Spirits didn't care where these delicious souls came from.

It was already somewhat exhausted from the siege of the Three Saints, and these scattered souls of its kind were instantly absorbed into its body.

In an instant, its injuries were healed again, even more effectively than the best medicine.

Even more terrifying was that the eerie purple flame above its head burned even more fiercely, and correspondingly, the aura of this giant crystal chandelier spirit... rose to a new level!

As if it had tasted the sweetness, it ignored the Three Saints' attacks and instead directly absorbed the Crystal Lamp Spirits that had not yet emerged from the cave into its body!

The Soul Furnace activated instantly, and in just a few breaths, the souls and energy of these crystal chandelier spirits were transformed into fuel for their great leader.

The imposing presence of the giant crystal chandelier completely overshadowed the Three Saints!

Without a doubt, in this world, it already possesses the power of a god!

Perhaps it's a need to expel excess energy and soul remnants from the body, or perhaps it's a desire to harvest more souls.

The Crystal Chandelier Spirit erupted once more, unleashing countless dark orbs that blotted out the sky.

Indiscriminately shooting in all directions, Shadow Balls unleash explosive Ghost-type energy wherever they land, eroding the Pokémon and the surrounding environment.

After the explosion, all that remained was a desolate and ruined scene.

Another batch of souls were harvested, and the aura of the giant crystal chandelier spirit grew even more terrifying.

Meanwhile, the thing Xia Shen feared most still happened.

From the highest flame atop its head, a ball of deep purple light, radiating a strange, eerie glow, was raised.

Then, the flames lifted the ball of light and drew a circle in front of the crystal chandelier spirit.

Xia Shen's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the gate between the spirit world and the real world had indeed opened...

This is... the true gate to the spirit world!

…………

Xia Shen was a little dazed. He hadn't expected that the Crystal Lamp Spirit would even harm its own subordinates in order to break through that barrier.

What he didn't expect was that before he could remove the obstacles he had set up, the Crystal Lamp Spirit directly opened the gate to the spirit world!

When this Crystal Lantern Spirit, whose strength has reached the level of a divine beast, descends upon the Misty City, what kind of calamity will the unsuspecting people and spirits encounter...?

Xia Shen didn't dare to think about it too much.
