First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 160: The Secret Realm of the Ghost Gate

Seeing this, Shen Mo summoned the Soul Refining Banner and waved it towards Peng Chen Shu.

Blood light swept out from the banner and spread rapidly.

It quickly entangled his body.

The purpose was not to refine him into a soul general with the Soul Refining Banner, but to assist him.

Their energies intertwined, and Peng Chen Shu suddenly leaped forward, being pulled along with his sword.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Shen. If I can make it out alive, I will surely repay you!" Peng Chen Shu expressed his gratitude and fear, hastily transmitting his voice to Shen Mo, then plunged into the Ghost Gate.

Shen Mo was about to follow closely behind and rush into the entrance of the gate, which was within reach.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost General abandoned the several cultivators it had been torturing and instantly appeared beside Shen Mo.

Their eyes met.

Through the armor mask, Shen Mo seemed to understand its emotions.

It was furious!

Furious that someone had taken its prey away from its hands.

"Sword Formation, activate!"

With the Long Sparrow Sword beneath his feet, Shen Mo was unable to display the Clear Heaven Sword Technique.

He deduced that even if he were to unleash the same sword strike that killed Hong Jue, it would not cause any harm to a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator.

Not to mention that the Ghost General was a late-stage third-order ghost creature. At most, the strongest sword technique would only tickle it.

Therefore, Shen Mo decided to focus on defense and not attack!

Using the Big Dipper Seven Stars Sword Formation, he set up a formation to block the Ghost General.

As long as he could hold it off for a moment, Shen Mo would be able to rush into the Ghost Gate and escape from its grasp.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

The brilliant sword light struck the Ghost General, directly shattering and exploding into specks of light.

Carrying specks of sword light, the pale palm of the Ghost General reached towards Shen Mo's heart.

"Spurt!"

The Green Soul Robe and the Red Carp Inner Armor, as fragile as paper armor, were quickly torn apart.

Shen Mo even felt the Ghost General's icy fingertips gradually sinking into his chest.

At this moment, Shen Mo fully displayed the results of his cultivation in the Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body. In the face of life and death, it was fully manifested.

The Blood Demon Pearl inside his body spun frantically!

With his powerful physique, every inch of his chest skin, every piece of flesh, and every bone fiercely resisted the Ghost General's attempt to extract his heart.

At the same time.

Under the enhancement of the Sword Control Technique, the Long Sparrow Sword beneath his feet emitted a dazzling spiritual light.

Pulling Shen Mo's body inch by inch, he broke free from the Ghost General's restraint.

The Ghost General seemed somewhat surprised!

If it were someone else, it would have long torn apart their weak bodies and dug out their steaming hearts.

Unexpectedly, this cultivator before it had an astonishingly strong physique.

For a moment, it found itself unable to simply and neatly extract his heart and enjoy the fresh blood and flesh.

Just as it was about to exert force, it suddenly felt its hand empty.

At this moment.

Shen Mo's body had completely entered the Ghost Gate.

The Yao Guang Sword and the six sword embryos left outside also followed the energy flow and entered the white mist.

...

"What a close call!"

Shen Mo stood on the Long Sparrow Sword, almost falling from mid-air.

Originally, he had just casually helped Peng Chen Shu from the Heavenly Sword Sect, but he didn't expect to be targeted by the Ghost General directly.

He almost died under its torture.

Fortunately, the entrance to the Ghost Gate was within reach at that time. If it had been a little further away, Shen Mo couldn't guarantee that he would have survived.

There was a large hole in the chest of his Green Soul Robe, and its protective power was reduced by thirty percent.

Fortunately, this Profound Grade middle-tier robe had the inscription of [Self-Healing] embedded during its forging, allowing it to absorb spiritual energy and slowly recover.

According to its damaged condition, it will take about three days for Shen Mo to recover without repairing it.

The red carp armor is mostly shattered, with little defensive power remaining.

If it is not recast, this armor will be considered useless, and it may not even be able to withstand basic ordinary immortal techniques.

There are five bloody holes left in Shen Mo's chest.

Among them, the deepest one reveals white jade-like ribs and exposed flesh and tendons.

Red, green, and white colors are mixed together in a messy and bloody manner.

"Gulu!"

Shen Mo swallowed a second-grade pill called Ganlu Pill!

As the Blood Slaughter Bead rotated, the vigorous blood surged and contracted within his body, washing away the residual Yin and fierce ghost energy in the holes.

With a gurgling sound, the five blood holes began to heal at a visible speed.

At this moment, Yao Guang Sword, leading six Beidou Sword Embryos, appeared out of thin air and swiftly entered Shen Mo's sleeve.

Shen Mo turned his head and looked carefully at the place where the little sword came from, which was also where he appeared.

He only saw an ordinary empty space.

It was exactly the same as the surrounding area, without any strange phenomena.

Even when wearing the "Eyes Like Torches," he still couldn't see any residual spatial fluctuations or formation lights from teleportation.

A scorching sun hung in the sky.

The warm sunlight sprinkled on Shen Mo's body, causing him to squint and contemplate.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is not comparable to the outside world, probably only about thirty percent."

"It is also mixed with a trace of gloomy ghost energy, although not as dense as in the ghost country ruins, but this level is still abnormal."

"And..."

"My cultivation and memory are normal, so it shouldn't be a type of mission that allows me to leave after awakening."

Shen Mo's mind fell on the Destiny Panel.

His own cultivation techniques, martial arts, and combat skills are still intact and have not been sealed or rendered unusable.

In addition, talismans, special destinies, and the Soul Refining Banner have not been restricted either!

His own condition, Destiny Panel, and Divine Ability are all as usual.

Shen Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he opened the information feedback page and started to read through the numerous and complicated prompt messages one by one.
