Even in the Underworld, the Hades Heavenly Ghost Stratagem was a stratagem of immense power. It could summon the Underworld’s mythical Hades Heavenly Ghost, an evil creature that lived off consuming the souls of living creatures. Legend had it that the most powerful Hades Heavenly Ghost could match other supernatural beings of the Underworld.
With the Ghost Lair’s ability, it was impossible for them to summon a Hades Heavenly Ghost that was too powerful. But any Hades Heavenly Ghost that they were able to summon would certainly not be an ordinary creature.
Shriek!
The Hades Heavenly Ghost let out a shriek as it stood on the crimson moon. A unique sound wave spread across the entire ancient city.
Splat!


Mo Wen’s face was pale as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Just a mere ghost wail had caused his soul to be seriously injured. His condition was not too bad. After all, he had cultivated half a deified soul; his soul was powerful enough. Some Martial Arts Grandmasters who did not have strong enough souls fainted instantly from the ghost wail.

The Heavenly Ghost has appeared. None of you will live!
Jiang Yan said coldly.
The Hades Heavenly Ghost Stratagem used most of the resources accumulated by the Ghost Lair over the last few years as its foundation, relying on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and the secret techniques passed from the Underworld, as well as his high cultivation, to successfully summon the Hades Heavenly Ghost.
The cultivation of this Hades Heavenly Ghost was definitely comparable with a Supreme Profundity Realm immortal cultivator. In the main space, the number of people who could hold off a Hades Heavenly Ghost could definitely be counted on one hand.
In the distance, the dark space had shattered once the Ten Thousand Soul Banner had been taken. All the people who had been trapped there now appeared in the cleft space. As soon as they arrived, they saw the Hades Heavenly Ghost appearing and looked at one another in shock.

What is that?
Veteran Ku Ji from the Senate looked in astonishment at the demonic shadow on the crimson moon. The terrifying aura it was giving off could definitely shatter his soul with just one strike. It was an immensely powerful aura that could not be stopped.
The expressions of all the other Huatian Palace veterans changed drastically as well. What kind of monster was that exactly?

A Hades Heavenly Ghost?
Mo Qingtian’s eyebrows furrowed. He had not expected that the Ghost Lair would actually bring forth such a creature. Their sacrificial ritual this time must be far more complicated than it appeared to be.

A Hades Heavenly Ghost has appeared. All of you are dead meat!
Chu Xiao stared at the veterans from the Huatian Palace, his eyes full of excitement. Never in all these years had the Ghost Lair achieved any successes in their battles with the Huatian Palace. If, this time, they were able to kill all these veterans from the Huatian Palace, including Mo Qingge who was at the peak of her powers, then the Ghost Lair would surely be renowned far and wide.
Mo Qingge had remained as calm as a pool of still water throughout. Even when the Hades Heavenly Ghost was in front of her, casting most of his evil Qi at her, she did not panic at all.


With a wave of her hand, she caused all the ancient martial art practitioners from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall who were in the ancient city to fly up into the air. At the same time, a band of white silk flew out from Mo Qingtian’s sleeve and instantly surrounded all the Huatian Palace veterans. The next moment, everyone disappeared from their spots. When they appeared again, they were all standing next to Mo Qingge. Many veterans did not even have time to react.
Mo Qingtian had always kept a low profile in the Huatian Palace. Even though many people knew that he was Mo Qingge’s younger brother, not many people knew about his cultivation. Old Man Ku Ji could sense that Mo Qingtian was not an average warrior, but even he could not fathom his exact cultivation.
Jiang Yan looked at the group of Huatian Palace members mockingly.
Did you think that if you gathered together, you could stand against the Hades Heavenly Ghost?
He then bowed towards the Hades Heavenly Ghost and coldly said,
Lord Heavenly Ghost, please destroy these intruders.

Up until this point, the Hades Heavenly Ghost had been a mere silhouette. Now, it slowly turned around. The glow of the crimson moon made it appear especially evil. No one could see its actual appearance clearly. They could merely see a blurry, crimson shadow.

Don’t worry. A Ghost Emperor of the Underworld of yours has paid a high price to let me cross realms. Now that I have received the benefits. I will not leave the job unfinished.
As the Hades Heavenly Ghost spoke, the entire space shook. The sharp voice contained a special sound wave. Mo Wen’s face twisted and his eyes were full of pain. The sound was like steel nails constantly stabbing into his mind. If his willpower was not stronger than others, he would most likely have cried out.
A few Martial Arts Grandmasters with lower cultivation crumbled and fell to the ground. They held their heads in their hands as they bled from their orifices and continuously screamed in pain.
Even veterans with Primordial Soul cultivation felt a sense of discomfort well up inside them. This Hades Heavenly Ghost was too powerful. Just the sound of its voice as it spoke had the ability to tear them apart.
Mo Qingge still emanated a peaceful and immaculate aura. The aura became a huge snow lotus and appeared silently above the heads of the crowd. The effects of the Hades Heavenly Ghost completely disappeared.

Crossed realms? So that’s what it was!
Mo Qingge said with a serious expression.
The Hades Heavenly Ghost Stratagem could summon the Hades Heavenly Ghost. However, in the main space, no such creature existed so it could not be summoned from the space. This Hades Heavenly Ghost was a frightening existence that had crossed over from the Underworld. Its cultivation was incredibly strong for it to be able to cross countless realms to appear here.


For an immortal cultivator, crossing distant realms was not an easy task without space passageways and mediums. However, it was different for the Hades Heavenly Ghost. It was a special creature of the Underworld. It possessed the magical power of space and could bypass the laws between realms. Hence, for it to cross realms was much easier than it was for ordinary immortal cultivators.
Of course, this was only relatively speaking. Even for the Hades Heavenly Ghost, crossing over directly from the Underworld to the main space was definitely not an easy task. This Hades Heavenly Ghost must have used some secret technique to project its doppelganger into this space. Also, its true body must be a remarkably strong existence.

So this is the Source World, the source of a thousand realms. It is such a pity that all the passageways to the Source World from the Underworld have been sealed shut. Otherwise, I would like to experience the source space. After all, this is the source of all creation.
The Hades Heavenly Ghost looked at the empty space. Its voice contained a unique emotion. Its eyes seemed to be able to see past the cleft space directly to the main space outside.
Compared to the Underworld, such a cleft space that was right next to the main space, as well as the Inner worlds connected to the main space, was no different from the main space. With this level of spatial barrier, they could easily cross over with a step. There was essentially no barrier to them.
But it was different for the Underworld. In order to protect the Source World, there was an unsurpassable distance between the Underworld and the Source. Without space passageways, the supernatural beings and the undead of the Underworld would be unable to enter the Source World. At most, they could only use secret techniques to project their doppelgangers over, and at a rather high cost.

The Source World does not welcome you. You’d had better crawl back to your Underworld,
Mo Qingge said clearly. If this thing truly appeared in the Source World, it would be a catastrophe for the Source World.

Were you talking to me just now?
The Hades Heavenly Ghost slowly turned its gaze and looked towards Mo Qingge. It had a look of surprise in its eyes, as though it had been a long time since anyone had dared to talk to it.
The Ghost King Jiang Yan was also shocked. The Hades Heavenly Ghost that could cross over using the Hades Heavenly Ghost Stratagem was a frightening existence. It most likely could be compared with an emperor of the Underworld. Although this type of doppelganger projection could not be maintained for long before dissipating, it was more than enough to kill Mo Qingge.

I was speaking to an animal.
Mo Qingge’s lips curled into an indifferent smile.

You are looking to die!



Crimson light surged and instantly covered the sun and the sky. How dare such a low life scold the Hades Heavenly Ghost? It had been millions of years since something like this had occurred.
A ferocious crimson claw reached out from the void. The claw extended, seemingly able to tear the sky and crush the entire world. An unstoppable aura enveloped the surrounding area.
All the Huatian Palace veterans turned pale. The crimson claw seemed to have surrounded the entire world. The claw could casually wipe them off the face of the earth. They had absolutely nowhere to hide; they could only await death and were unable to resist at all.
In the Source World, immortal cultivators of the Supreme Profundity Realm were definitely the highest supreme and invincible existences.

Sister, the Huatian Palace has a way to counter this, right? If not, then we can only…
Mo Qingtian said while staring at the crimson claw. It was drawing nearer to them. Mo Qingtian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Tian’er, don’t be impatient. There have always been those from different realms who coveted the Source World. There is naturally a reason why the Huatian Palace has governed the Source World for so many years without fail. The Ghost Lair still has a long way to go if it wants to challenge the authority of the Huatian Palace.

Mo Qingge extended her hand and held Mo Qingtian back. Then, she took out a painting scroll from her sleeve. The painting scroll unraveled, revealing an image of a majestic palace hall.
Mo Wen recognized it in an instant. It was the Main Palace of the Huatian Palace, the highest-ranking palace hall.
Once this painting scroll appeared, it released brilliant light. Endless golden light sprinkled out. When the crimson claw of the Hades Heavenly Ghost touched the golden light, it was as though it had fallen into a swamp, and its speed slowed down immensely.
The huge palace hall illusion appeared in the heavens. It was like a shining golden mirage and a heavenly palace of the immortal world.



The Huatian Palace Projection! You actually have it!

Ghost King Jiang Yan shrieked suddenly as though he had seen a ghost. His face turned ghostly pale in an instant.
The Huatian Palace Projection Map was the most valuable treasure of the Huatian Palace. There was only one Projection Map in the entire Huatian Palace. Usually, it was held by the Grand Palace Lord and enshrined in the Sacred Palace. It would not be used lightly. How could such a valuable treasure appear in Mo Qingge’s hands?
Once the Huatian Palace Projection appeared, an unparalleled terrifying aura exploded out from it. The aura penetrated downwards, directly shattering the Hades Heavenly Ghost’s crimson claw.

You actually summoned a Hades Heavenly Ghost from the Underworld! Your Ghost Lair has been in hiding for so many years. Your ability seems to have grown a little.

A frail voice came from the Huatian Palace Projection. It was followed by a vast and deep aura enveloping the entire space. The majestic and noble Qi instantly suppressed the evil Qi of the Hades Heavenly Ghost.

The Grand Palace Lord has arrived!


The Grand Palace Lord has finally appeared in person.


Wonderful. Let’s see how the Ghost Lair can remain arrogant.

The Huatian Palace veterans wore expressions of pleasure and surprise as they looked at the Huatian Palace Projection in the heavens. The Huatian Palace had three Palace Lords: the Grand Palace Lord, Second Palace Lord, and Third Palace Lord respectively. Among the three Palace Lords, the Grand Palace Lord was the most mysterious figure. He had not appeared for centuries. Even among the Senate, the number of people that had seen the Grand Palace Lord could be counted on one hand.
