Chapter 2817: Chapter 2812: Releasing the Spirit King_1
Yang Chen heard Bao Lu say this and observed the situation as well.
Zhen Wang’s strength was still terrifying. He had just made three moves, and even though Yun Bietianzun and a few other Boundaryless-level powerhouses joined forces, they were quickly suppressed by Zhen Wang.
Zhen Wang now had ghost qi rising, confirming his identity as a Netherworld Ghost creature.
Moreover, beside Zhen Wang, there were several other Netherworld Ghost creatures who had yet to make a move, also shrouded in ghost qi.
"Hahaha, Yun Bietianzun, wouldn’t it have been better if you just let me control Spirit King obediently? Why come and die early? Do you think that I came unprepared today? Today, my victory is inevitable. You want to turn the situation around, but there’s no chance!" Zhen Wang laughed arrogantly.
Yang Chen saw that the situation was not good, and his heart became extremely tangled.
He had already done so much, but Zhen Wang’s arrival was beyond his control. He truly desired to change his fate but couldn’t.
However, having come this far, giving up was not appropriate!
"Let’s go all out!"
Yang Chen gritted his teeth.
While Yun Bietianzun and others were fighting with Spirit King, Yang Chen wanted to find a way to remove the prohibition that bound Spirit King!
"Bao Lu, let’s start by removing the prohibition around Spirit King." Yang Chen said.
Bao Lu was an expert at these things, and there was no difficulty in dealing with small prohibition techniques for her.
She spread her wings and danced gracefully. In an instant, layer upon layer of prohibition was completely lifted by Bao Lu. So quickly that it could be described as done in the blink of an eye!
Seeing Bao Lu being so reliable, Yang Chen was quite satisfied.
Now, with all the prohibition removed, Yang Chen’s gaze turned to Spirit King inside Spirit King Palace.
Spirit King was aware of what was happening outside, but he appeared to be an experienced person. He still closed his eyes as if meditating like an old monk, unmoving!
It wasn’t until Yang Chen completely removed the prohibition and appeared in his line of sight that Spirit King sighed, "Young friend, leave quickly. I appreciate the intentions you had to save me, but unfortunately, the situation is beyond your control now. Be wise and save yourself, flee. Preserve your life and tell this matter to the other Sacred Districts so they can make a choice quickly. There’s still a chance to recover from today’s events."
Yang Chen laughed dryly, "Elder Spirit King, stop joking. If today’s situation reaches the worst-case scenario, I’m afraid it will be difficult to recover later. Don’t worry, I have some sense of propriety. Now I just want to ask you, can you deal with Zhen Wang in your current state?"
Spirit King listened to Yang Chen’s words, unsure of Yang Chen’s purpose.
"It seems that you can control the Black Sky Formation. If you can release me and allow me to absorb the ghost qi in the formation that has been absorbing the essence from my body, my strength will recover somewhat within a short time. Even if it’s only a partial recovery, it’s still more than enough to defeat Zhen Wang," Spirit King said.
But after saying that, he sighed, "Unfortunately, you can’t release me, and there’s no way to return the power of the ghost qi in the Black Sky Formation to me."
When Yang Chen heard this, he didn’t respond hurriedly but asked Bao Lu instead.
"Bao Lu, are you sure we can control the Black Sky Formation?" Yang Chen asked.
"Yes," Bao Lu said.
"Then why didn’t you tell me earlier? We could have used the Formation Eye to erase the ghost qi obstructing our path, and I would have saved Spirit King earlier," Yang Chen said, rolling his eyes.
"I didn’t think that controlling the Black Sky Formation would be necessary with the situation at first. How could I have thought of so many things?" Bao Lu felt wronged but refused to admit defeat.
Yang Chen couldn’t blame Bao Lu anymore now.
The good news was clearly in front of his eyes.
There were two problems that Spirit King faced.
First, he couldn’t leave the Spirit King Palace.
Second, the Black Sky Formation!
He could actually solve both fucking problems.
With that in mind, there was nothing to hesitate about. Yang Chen laughed wryly, "Elder Spirit King, the confusion you face now can be resolved by me!"
"What did you say? Are you serious?" Spirit King’s pupils shrank, unable to believe that Yang Chen’s words were true.
"Every word is true," Yang Chen said.
Just as Spirit King was about to speak, Yang Chen had already arrived in front of the palace. This made Spirit King squint his old eyes, wondering how Yang Chen would save him.
When the conversation ended, Spirit King saw Yang Chen take out a sword that was white like jade.
With the sword in hand, Spirit King suddenly paled, "What? You actually have the White Jade Monarch Sword? Where did you get it? Isn’t this sword supposed to be in Venerable King’s hands?"
"Venerable King brought the sword to the Spirit Domain’s Great Secret Realm, where I accidentally obtained it. After I acquired it, I didn’t give it much thought. However, as fate would have it, I ended up at the Heaven Lord Pavilion and accidentally encountered this situation. Since I’m already involved, it’s only right for me to help." Yang Chen explained.
Seeing how coincidental everything was, Spirit King’s smile became bitter.
"Venerable King..."
Spirit King said with a helpless tone, "Venerable King, that old guy, fought with me for a lifetime, but he never admitted defeat. If he had admitted defeat and joined forces with me to resist the Netherworld Ghost creatures, the Southern Realm wouldn’t have ended up like this."
When the conversation ended, Spirit King sighed sadly.
Yang Chen also felt a mix of emotions.
Indeed, Venerable King was quite a character. Back then, even when he left the Southern Realm, trapped Spirit King, and did a series of crazy things, he always maintained his bottom line.
This bottom line was: never betray humankind!
Now, with the White Jade Monarch Sword in hand, Yang Chen had found the keyhole to the palace. Suddenly, he stabbed the sword into the keyhole, and with a loud bang, the main gate of the palace opened!
Spirit King also took a deep breath.
The fresh air from the outside world was something he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
"Thank you, young friend," Spirit King said gratefully.
"It’s still too early to thank me. Wait until you’ve regained your strength and solved everything in front of you before thanking me. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll end up just like the others still fighting Zhen Wang, reduced to dry bones left here," Yang Chen said.
"Bao Lu!"
"I know!"
Bao Lu had already controlled the Formation Eye, completely releasing the ghost qi that the Black Sky Formation had turned into after absorbing Spirit King’s essence.
"Elder Spirit King, prepare to receive it," Yang Chen said.
With excitement in his eyes, Spirit King looked at the layers of the black ghost qi and raised his hand, "All that belongs to me, come back!"
All the ghost qi flowed into Spirit King’s body.
Using his own strength, Spirit King forcibly suppressed the ghost qi, extracted their essence, and integrated it into his body!
