<h4>Chapter 2010: Soul Lantern!</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>Legge </h4>
“Hehe,”
The ck-robed old man’sughter sounded once more. “Stop struggling. Even if I don’t attack, you’re dead!”
“The power of the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb has already seeped into your organs and bones after being struck by my ghost face. You’re already a dead man, hehehe!”
When the ck-robed old man realized that Su Zimo was already a bird in a cage, he was no longer anxious and merely followed closely behind Su Zimo, smelling the scent of this fresh soul with an intoxicated expression.
Su Zimo bit his tongue gently and tried his best to stay awake.
!!
Under normal circumstances, their cultivation realms were very low and the power of the curse would not seep into their bodies after entering the Emperor’s Tomb. That was the reason why they had the chance to purge it and survive.
Once the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb seeped into his flesh, he would be in danger.
Let alone seep into his organs and bones!
However, the ck-robed old man was only half right.
The power of the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb had indeed seeped into Su Zimo’s flesh and tainted his organs and bones. But, as though it was blocked by some power, it could not continue deeper.
Su Zimo did not give up. Gritting his teeth, he continued forward.
However, the ck-robed old man became impatient.
“Hmph, let’s see how much longer you canst!”
The ck-robed old man sneered and his ck robes swayed. Hundreds of ghost faces fell and flew towards Su Zimo, drowning him instantly!
The ghost faces opened their mouths and bared their sharp teeth, biting Su Zimo.
With every bite, the Green Lotus Essence Spirit dimmed!
Without waiting for the ck-robed old man to attack, those hungry ghost-like faces alone could devour Su Zimo cleanly.
Right then, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he recalled something.
He took out a jade talisman from his storage bag and held it in his palm.
The jade talisman emitted a glow that enveloped him.
“Ah! Ah! Ahhhh!”
The ghost faces that were initially gnawing on Su Zimo released their bites one after another as though they were in immense pain. They let out tragic cries and turned to flee.
In the blink of an eye, the ghost faces flew out of the radius of the jade talisman’s light.
Green smoke billowed from the ghost faces and their auras were clearly much weaker.
Su Zimo obtained a rare breather and could not help but perk up, looking at the ck-robed old man with widened eyes.
The ck-robed old man’s expression darkened.
When he saw the light emitted by the jade talisman, he was clearly wary. However, he did not stop and said slowly, “Do you think that this thing can stop me?”
The ck-robed old man approached continuously and arrived at the edge of the jade talisman’s radius. He paused for a moment before striding in!
Sizzle!
The light of the jade talisman enveloped the ck-robed old man and let out a series of strange sounds. However, it was clear that his foundation was not injured!
As the two of them approached, Su Zimo suddenly raised his hand and threw the jade talisman in his hands towards the ck-robed old man.
“Hmph!”
The ck-robed old man extended his walking stick and flicked it gently, knocking the jade talisman to the ground.
He did not stop and continued walking towards Su Zimo, getting closer and closer!
Seemingly flustered, Su Zimo took out a pile of Dharmic treasures from his storage bag and threw them towards the ck-robed old man.
The ck-robed old man had a mocking expression as he waved his walking stick casually and knocked down the Dharmic treasures one after another.
He did not notice that among the Dharmic treasures, there was one that Su Zimo did not touch with his hands. Instead, it was wrapped with robes and threw out among the many Dharmic treasures.
It was a dim bronzentern that looked ordinary.
The ck-robed old man waved his walking stick casually and struck the bronzentern. However, he suddenly shuddered and his expression changed!
His eyes widened with fear and his body trembled uncontrobly with increasingly stronger convulsions.
“To think that t-thisntern is a-actually in your hands…”
The ck-robed old man’s voice trembled.
He waved the walking stick in his hands vigorously, as though he wanted to throw the bronzentern off.
However, the bronzentern seemed to be stuck to the walking stick and could not be flung down.
What Su Zimo thought of earlier on was not the jade talisman, but this bronzentern!
Previously, he merely touched the bronzentern and his Essence Spirit was almost absorbed.
If not for the Buddhas that appeared and chanted the Prajna Nirvana Sutra, he would have been killed by a bronzentern!
At the bottom of the bronzentern was the word ‘Soul’.
Therefore, Su Zimo guessed that the bronzentern might have something to do with the soul.
That was not the only strange thing about the bronzentern.
Although it had been in the Emperor’s Tomb for countless years, it was not tainted by the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb at all. In fact, even the Hell Suppression Tripod could not devour it!
Right now, the bronzentern had indeed done something extraordinary!
“Ah!”
Suddenly, the ck-robed old man shrieked with a ruthless glint in his eyes. He extended his left hand and severed his right arm decisively.
His right arm and walking stick fell at the same time.
Although the ck-robed old man lost an arm and suffered severe injuries, he was at least free from the threat of the bronzentern.
Su Zimo had been paying attention to the situation the entire time and could not help but feel shocked when he saw that.
If the ck-robed old man were to break free, he might be the one to die!
At that moment, it was already toote for him to pick up the bronzentern.
Suddenly!
Su Zimo’s eyes flickered as he noticed something unusual.
There was a faint glow at the bottom of the bronzentern.
Unknowingly, a thinyer of oil had umted in thentern!
A thought shed through Su Zimo’s mind. Without hesitation, he channeled his extremely weak Essence Spirit and released a feeble spirit consciousness me.
Or rather, it could only be considered as a spark.
However, that spark caused a change when itnded in thentern!
Phew!
With a whoosh, a small me ignited in thentern and enveloped the ck-robed old man with a golden glow.
“Ah!”
Before the ck-robed old man could escape, he encountered such an unforeseen event and could not help but cry out tragically. The fear in his eyes had reached its limits as he shrieked repeatedly, “Soul Lantern! You actually ignited the Soul Lantern! Ahhh!”
The golden me of the bronzentern did not burn the ck-robed old man directly.
However, when the golden light around the mended on the ck-robed old man, golden mes were ignited from head to toe from the inside out and could not be extinguished!
In the blink of an eye, the golden mes devoured the ck-robed old manpletely.
The ck-robed old man’s tragic cries deteriorated rapidly as well.
In just a few breaths, the ck-robed old man had already vanishedpletely and his Essence Spirit was destroyed by the golden mes!
Su Zimo looked at everything in a daze, dumbfounded.
Earlier on, he merely released a spirit consciousness me in a sh of inspiration—to think that it would create such a terrifying scene!
“Is this a Soul Lantern?”
Su Zimo murmured softly, “It’s impressive indeed. Souls arepletely helpless against the envelopment of thisntern.”
That power did note from the Soul Lantern’s me.
If the ck-robed man, a powerful Ghost Immortal, was burned into ashes by the light released by the me, how terrifying was the power of the actual me?
