586: Chapter 96 The Beast God Resurrected

Mingling Peak, within the formation at the mountain summit.

Two volumes of the Heavenly Tome floated in mid-air, emitting a faint golden light that complemented the Beast God's blood contained in the jade plate below.

Wan Wanwang was clad in black robes, his eyes tightly shut and hands forming Seals as he chanted under his breath.

The black runes of the Ghost Dao secret technique moved through the formation like living creatures.

"Rise!"

Wan Wanwang abruptly opened his eyes and pointed two fingers at the formation's eye.

The Beast God's blood in the jade plate suddenly boiled, transforming into a streak of blood that rose into the sky, interweaving with the light of the Heavenly Tome into a net.

Ghost Master stood at the edge of the formation, his hands pressed onto Xiao Yicai's shoulders.

Xiao Yicai's eyes were tightly shut, his face flushed with an unusual redness due to the restlessness of the Beast God's blood within him—he was the reincarnation vessel prepared for the Beast God!

The mountainside of Mingling Peak.

Azure Dragon caressed the Universe Clear Light Ring on his hand.

You Ji's purple gauze dress danced lightly in the wind.

A group of Ghost King Sect Disciples formed a defensive formation, their cold, gleaming weapons sealing the mountain path completely.

Clearly, to prevent any accidents during the Beast God's resurrection, the entire Ghost King Sect was on high alert.

As the incantation quickened, a faint buzzing sound echoed between heaven and earth.

The remnant Soul of the Beast God wandering the world was forcibly pulled by the formation, gathering from all directions like fireflies to form a blurry silhouette in the center. The silhouette gradually became clear, revealing a hideous face with green skin and sharp fangs, surrounded by Demonic Qi with a primordial aura; it was indeed the ancient evil god, the Beast God!

"Heh..."

As soon as the Beast God appeared, his body swayed, and his broken spirit form flickered within the formation, clearly extremely weak.

His gaze swept over Wan Wanwang, his voice raspy like a broken gong: "Sacrifice..."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Wan Wanwang's mouth as he waved his hand.

Two squads of Ghost King Sect Disciples led forward dozens of ragged Changshang Hall Disciples; these were all captives previously seized at Dinghai Village.

"Give them to him."

Before the words had finished, the Beast God had already lunged forward like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey.

Blue-black claws tore through the air, instantly devouring the Changshang Hall Disciples.

As flesh and Soul entered his belly, the aura on the Beast God's body became noticeably thicker, and his silhouette solidified slightly, yet his eyes remained filled with greed.

"Not enough... I want more..."

"You want more?" Wan Wanwang stepped forward slowly and proposed his terms: "Help me flatten the Qingyun Sect, Tianyin Pavilion, and Fenxiang Valley. When the Ghost King Sect dominates the world, all living beings will be yours to feed upon. How about it?"

The Beast God was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter that made the mountain rocks tremble: "A mere Mortal dares to command this seat?"

He suddenly reached out a claw toward Wan Wanwang, but the moment it touched the other's robes, the tips of his claws were repelled as if struck by lightning, and a frigid power surged back along the claws.

The Beast God retreated in shock: "What did you do?"

"This seat already expected you wouldn't be obedient." Wan Wanwang stood with his hands behind his back, a triumphant smile on his face: "So I specifically tampered with those sacrifices in advance. If you were still in your complete form, I naturally wouldn't be your match, but right now you are nothing more than a remnant Soul."

The Ghost Dao secret technique specifically countered incomplete spirit bodies, and it was now eroding the Beast God's spiritual consciousness through the flesh of the sacrifices.

The Beast God was furious, his aura surging violently, yet he remained bound by an invisible force, unable to harm Wan Wanwang in the slightest no matter how he attacked.

Wan Wanwang took the opportunity to form hand Seals, further driving the secret technique with the intention of controlling the Beast God before him.

But unexpectedly, he encountered great resistance.

This caused Wan Wanwang to be secretly alarmed.

As expected of an ancient evil god; even as a weak remnant Soul just resurrected, it was still not easy to control despite his ample preparations.

But this was just as well; the stronger the Beast God was, the greater the assistance he would obtain after controlling him.

Thinking this, Wan Wanwang continued to exert force to drive the secret technique.

The Beast God's resistance also became increasingly fierce.

For a time, both sides fell into a stalemate.

Wan Wanwang's gaze turned sharp as he took out the Mystic Fire Mirror: "It seems I must show you something powerful!"

The crimson ancient mirror lit up with blazing flames in his hand.

Wan Wanwang was about to teach the Beast God a lesson when he suddenly let out a miserable scream.

The Mystic Fire Mirror fell to the ground with a "clatter."

Only to see Wan Wanwang's eyes turn blood-red and his face distort, as if he had fallen into a frenzied state of demonic possession.

"Hahaha!" Seeing this, the Beast God laughed loudly: "Fool! This seat suffered because of this Mystic Fire Mirror back then; how could I not leave behind a countermeasure?"

After suffering back then, he had left a curse on the Mystic Fire Mirror: unless one mastered the correct usage, once driven, the holder would surely be troubled by a Heart Demon and fall into a demonic state.

Before the laughter subsided, the Beast God suddenly pounced on the nearby Ghost Master, devouring him before he could react, and his spirit form solidified a bit more.

Then, the Beast God's gaze fell upon Xiao Yicai at the edge of the formation.

He sensed the same source of Beast God's blood within the other's body, and a flash of excitement crossed his eyes.

Immediately after, he transformed into a streak of green light and entered Xiao Yicai's body.

Xiao Yicai snapped his eyes open, his pupils having turned a crimson red identical to the Beast God's.

A moment later, the Beast God, having reincarnated through the body, stretched his neck and let out a satisfied sigh: "This body is acceptable."

Immediately, the Beast God raised a hand and pointed; the demonically possessed Wan Wanwang actually charged at the Ghost King Sect Disciples like a puppet on strings, his black robes soon stained with blood.

"What 'dominating the world'?" The Beast God's voice carried Xiao Yicai's clarity, but his words held a bone-chilling coldness: "I was betrayed by Ling Long and trapped in a Seal for countless years. Now that I have seen the light of day again, what I will do is—destroy this filthy world!"

After speaking, he struck out with a palm, turning the possessed Wan Wanwang into a mist of blood.

Azure Dragon and You Ji sensed something was wrong and came to check the situation, only to be shocked by what they saw.

Azure Dragon drove the Universe Clear Light Ring to attack the Beast God but was sent flying by a single palm strike, spitting blood in mid-air before falling off the cliff, his fate unknown.

"Run!"

You Ji screamed and turned to flee.

The group of Ghost King Sect Disciples followed, scattering in flight.

The Beast God did not pursue them; instead, he gestured to summon the Mystic Fire Mirror, then began to absorb the malevolent aura emitted by Wan Wanwang before his death to strengthen himself, while casually striking out.

The Ghost King Sect Disciples who failed to escape didn't even have time to scream before turning into blood mist.

Just then, earth-shaking Sword Qi came from the horizon, as Buddhist light and firelight interwoven to tear through the black mist.

Immortal Master Mysterious Dao led the Qingyun Sect Disciples, arriving on their swords.

Yun Yilan followed closely with the people of Fenxiang Valley.

Master Puhong's Tianyin Zen Chanting echoed through the valley.

The three great Righteous Path Schools had finally arrived at Mingling Peak...
