Chapter 1774 The Ghost Messengers Flee, the Black River Covers the Sky
Beyond the three ghost cities, as the war intensified, the entire battlefield became a hellish place.
Almost every moment, ghosts vanish, either being annihilated or devoured by other ghosts.
Faced with a Soul Sea army that outnumbered their own three to one, the hundreds of millions of ghost messengers brought by the Bone Demon Emperor were almost in despair. Coupled with the failure of the rescue operations in the three major cities, they were even more panicked.
It should be noted that there are quite a few ghost messengers in the three major cities, totaling nearly a hundred million, and three ghost kings personally oversee them, which shows how powerful they are.
But even these three powerful ghost cities have now been completely wiped out by those vengeful ghosts from the sea of souls. How could this not make the ghost messengers on the battlefield tremble with fear?
Under the terrifying might of the Soul Sea Army, the Ghost Messenger Army suffered repeated defeats, with Ghost Messengers constantly perishing. In a short period of time, this so-called army of hundreds of millions was reduced to tens of millions.
"We can't fight anymore! If we keep fighting, we'll all die here!"
"I don't want to die here, no!!"
"I have to escape! I need to escape!!"
"..."
In time, panic surged into the hearts of the ghost messengers, and many of the weaker ghost messengers immediately turned and fled!
Once one person takes the lead in fleeing, countless others will follow suit.
In a short time, a wave of routs broke out among the ghost messengers' army, with millions of ghost messengers abandoning the battle and fleeing.
"Damn it, don't run away!!"
"His Majesty the Ghost Emperor has decreed that anyone who deserts in the face of battle shall be executed!!"
Enraged by the sight, the Ghost King flashed and appeared above the group of fleeing people. With a casual slap, the power of law rippled out, directly annihilating the fleeing people within a radius of several miles below!
Even so, he could not stop the rout. Instead, his actions angered many ghost messengers and drew a lot of curses.
"You ghost kings, so high and mighty, speaking with such righteous indignation, why don't you go and charge into battle yourselves if you dare?!"
“You are powerful enough that you will not die even if you are defeated. With your cultivation level, those evil spirits in the Soul Sea will have a hard time catching up with you if you want to escape.”
But we are different.
Our cultivation is weak; if we are trapped on the battlefield, only the destruction of our souls awaits us!
You're not letting us escape because you're worried that the Bone Demon Emperor will punish you, but what does that have to do with us?
Why should we give up our lives for you?!
The words of these ghost messengers immediately enraged the ghost king. His eyes turned cold, and he roared, "This is a battlefield. To flee on the battlefield is the act of a deserter!"
Even if you manage to escape by sheer luck, aren't you afraid that His Majesty the Ghost Emperor will seek revenge on you in the future?!
"Hmph! Don't try to scare us with the Ghost Emperor!!"
"We're going to die either way. If we don't escape, we'll be killed by these vengeful ghosts right now. Why shouldn't we escape?!"
"You talk so righteously, but if you're so capable, go and fight these vengeful ghosts of the soul sea yourselves!!"
"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!!"
The endless ghost messengers cursed and swore, completely ignoring the ghost kings. Their words only provoked more ghost messengers to flee.
In an instant, the army of ghost messengers collapsed like a dam bursting; the endless ghost messengers no longer wanted to fight and fled in all directions.
"Hahahaha... The skeleton ghosts are utterly defeated!"
"Quickly surround and kill them! Don't let them escape!"
"Indeed, although these ghost messengers are weak in cultivation, their large numbers make them a rare source of resources for cultivation!"
The defeat of the ghost messenger army excited all the ghost kings in the Soul Sea, who led countless fierce ghosts to pursue and kill the ghost messengers.
Just then, the already dim sky suddenly became even darker, causing many ghost messengers and ghost kings to subconsciously look up.
"What's going on? Why is it dark?"
"Then...what is that?!"
"That's... a river?"
"A river hangs in the sky!!"
The endless ghost cultivators exclaimed in surprise, all showing expressions of disbelief.
A vast black river hung above the battlefield.
The vast river, with its waters constantly surging with huge waves, had silently covered the entire battlefield without anyone noticing.
"What kind of monster dares to act so recklessly here?!"
Within the Soul Sea army, several figures immediately soared into the air, heading directly towards the massive black river hanging in the sky.
They were all Ghost Kings, generals in the Soul Sea Army, with extensive knowledge and experience. They naturally realized that the black river before them was not simple, but a powerful ghost treasure.
They had never seen this ghostly treasure before, so they naturally became wary.
However, there was no response from the black river. Instead, a huge roar suddenly erupted, and the river plummeted directly from the sky!
"not good!!"
The Soul Sea Ghost Kings were all startled upon seeing this and fled into the distance.
Although they were all ghost kings, they sensed the powerful aura emanating from the Black River and naturally dared not take any risks.
However, the Black River was simply too vast, almost covering the entire battlefield. To the ghost cultivators on the battlefield, the Black River at this moment seemed like a sky with no end in sight!
So no matter how the ghost kings ran, they eventually found that they couldn't escape at their speed, and the boundless black river falling from above was getting closer and closer to them!
"Damn it, I'll see just how capable you are!!"
"We can't escape, let's join forces!!"
Seeing that escape was hopeless, these Soul Sea Ghost Kings stopped running away and instead gathered together, intending to join forces to resist.
The same thing was happening with the ghost messenger army.
The sudden appearance of the vast Black River disrupted the entire battlefield situation and cut off the escape route for those fleeing.
The Black River finally crashed to the ground, engulfing the entire battlefield and all the ghost cultivators on it.
At this moment, both the tens of millions of ghost messengers who fled in panic and the hundreds of millions of vengeful ghosts in the sea of souls who were still insane were all submerged by the Black River!
This vast and boundless black river is naturally the Soul-Devouring Banner!
After arriving at the battlefield, Mo Fan immediately summoned the banner. However, in order to avoid being detected by the ghost cultivators below, he specially created an alternate dimension and hid the black river formed by the banner in the alternate dimension.
He then removed the alternate dimension, which created the scene of the Black River obscuring the sky, thus deceiving all the ghost cultivators.
At this moment, Mo Fan used the Soul Devouring Banner to wipe out hundreds of millions of ghost cultivators on the battlefield. While urging the Soul Devouring Banner to frantically refine the weaker ghost cultivators, he also ordered the more than twenty ghost king accomplices who had met with him earlier to hold back the ghost kings in the Soul Sea and among the ghost messengers, buying him time.
Although the Soul Devouring Banner is powerful enough now, it has taken in too many ghost cultivators this time. Not only is it difficult to completely refine these ghost cultivators in a short time, but it is also possible that the ghost kings will break it open from the inside.
The weakness of the Soul-Devouring Banner lies precisely in the fact that its internal ghost domain is not sturdy, which is why Mo Fan had his subordinate ghosts hold off the other ghost kings.
He himself frantically activated the Soul-Devouring Banner, pouring in surging Yuan Power to help it refine the ghost messengers and fierce spirits trapped inside.
In this way, almost every minute and every second, weak ghost messengers and fierce ghosts were refined and turned into fierce ghosts of the Soul Devouring Banner, which also made the power of the Soul Devouring Banner even stronger.
As one side gains at the expense of the other, more and more ghost cultivators were gradually refined into Soul-Devouring Banner Fiends.
This also relieved Mo Fan.
