Chapter 13 – New Destruction-level Skill!

[Talent Passive ‘Celestial Master’s Heart’ triggered. ‘Demon-Subduing Sword’ automatically upgraded to Destruction Tier ‘Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword’]

“Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword?!”

“As expected, the Talent Passive ‘Celestial Master’s Heart’ triggered again, haha!”

Ye Sheng’s face lit up with joy.

He just didn’t know what effect this new Destruction Skill ‘Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword’ had.

Swish!

Ye Sheng eagerly pulled up the skill description of ‘Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword’.

[Destruction Skill: Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword (LV1), Single-Target Attack Skill, one of the top Demon-Subduing Swordsmanship techniques of the Daoist School.

Attack Power Increase +15000%!

Damage against Ghost Creatures Increase +25000%!]

“A single-target attack skill?!”

Ye Sheng’s gaze swept over, and the first thing he saw was ‘Single-Target Attack Skill’, which filled his heart with wild excitement.

Single-target attack skills consume far less energy than area-of-effect attack skills!

This directly solved the problem that had been troubling him.

“And the power increase is this strong too?!”

Ye Sheng looked on and gasped in astonishment.

The attack power increase of [Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword] was actually as high as +15000%!

The damage increase against Ghost Creatures reached an astonishing +25000%!

Compared to the Daoist Skill [Demon-Subduing Sword]…

Attack Power Increase +5%!

Damage against Ghost Creatures Increase +2%!

It wasn’t just a little stronger—it was on a completely different level!

“Too overpowered!”

Ye Sheng was shocked!

Additionally, he discovered that because [Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword] was a single-target attack skill, its attack power amplification was far higher than that of [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder].

Nine Heavens Divine Thunder’s attack power increase was +10000%!

Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword reached an even higher +15000%!

Of course, this didn’t mean ‘Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword’ was stronger than ‘Nine Heavens Divine Thunder’.

It just meant the two excelled in different areas.

‘Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword’ had formidable single-target power!

While ‘Nine Heavens Divine Thunder’ excelled at group attacks, or area-of-effect damage.

This was something ‘Diamond Demon-Subduing Sword’ couldn’t match.

“Haha, now I’ll be much more flexible, without any weak periods!”

Ye Sheng laughed heartily.

Over ten minutes later.

Most of the energy within Ye Sheng’s body had recovered, and he decided to continue his journey.

He was also eager to test the power of ‘Vajra Demon-Subduing Sword’!

With a single-target Destruction Skill like ‘Vajra Demon-Subduing Sword’, killing bosses would become much easier and simpler.

There was no need to unleash the large-scale ‘Nine Heavens Divine Thunder’ every time, causing a huge commotion!

“Where to go?”

Ye Sheng opened the electronic map.

He quickly locked onto a location.

“Headless Ghost Valley!”

“Let’s go here. It’s said there’s a ‘Headless Ghost King’ boss in this place!”

“Killing it might drop the Class Advancement Item needed for Tribulation Crossing.”

Having set his target, Ye Sheng got up and headed toward Headless Ghost Valley.

…

…

Headless Ghost Valley was located deep within the wilderness.

The entire valley was filled with eerie Ghost Flames, and countless Headless Ghosts drifted and wandered within.

These ‘Headless Ghosts’ were all 1st Class Change, Level 90 Ghost Creatures.

This made the entire valley extremely dangerous!

But that was secondary.

Deep within Headless Ghost Valley, a 1st Class Change top-tier boss, the ‘Headless Ghost King’, resided!

This was the real reason countless Cultivators dared not approach.

At this moment.

It seemed Headless Ghost Valley had just experienced a fierce battle.

Many cliff walls had collapsed, turning into rubble.

There were also numerous white powders scattered about—the remains of Headless Ghosts after being slain.

And in the deepest part…

A towering ‘Headless Ghost King’, over ten meters tall, was roaring in fury.

It paced back and forth, its massive feet stomping on the ground, causing the entire valley to tremble faintly.

True to its name, this ‘Headless Ghost King’ had no head upon its shoulders—only a tall, robust ghostly torso.

Its eyes, mouth, and nose were all positioned on its chest.

It bore a striking resemblance to the mythical figure ‘Xingtian’!

The Headless Ghost King’s eyes were blood-red, and its enormous mouth was filled with sharp fangs.

From time to time, it attacked a golden, eggshell-like shield!

Within that golden shield, four figures sat in disarray.

They were barely clinging to life, relying on this golden shield for protection!

Yet, this golden shield was remarkably resilient.

Despite the Headless Ghost King’s relentless assaults, it remained unbroken for the time being.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the golden shield was already covered in cracks, likely unable to hold out much longer.

Once the golden shield shattered!

The four inside would have no chance of survival—they would be devoured alive by the ‘Headless Ghost King’ in an instant, with no hope of escape.

At this moment.

If Ye Sheng were present, he would surely recognize the four figures within the golden shield.

These four were none other than the ‘Cangming Squad’ who had captured him and brought him deep into the wilderness.

For some unknown reason, they had become trapped in this ‘Headless Ghost Valley’, unable to break free!

Their lives hung by a thread at every moment!

“What do we do? I don’t want to die!”

Qiu Shan, burly and clad entirely in Gold Tier armor, was now filled with terror as he watched the ‘Headless Ghost King’ pacing outside.

He felt as though doomsday had arrived.

The gray-robed woman ‘Li Ying’ had also lost her earlier composure. Her beautiful hair was disheveled, her face pale—she looked utterly wretched!

Seeing Qiu Shan lose his composure, she forced herself to stay calm and scolded, “What’s there to panic about? We’ll find a way to escape!”

Qiu Shan, staring at the ‘Headless Ghost King’ outside, was on the verge of a complete breakdown. The burly man began to wail,

“Escape? There’s no escaping this!

This is a dead end! Our ‘Cangming Squad’ is doomed!”

As he spoke, Qiu Shan glared viciously at ‘Li Ying’ and cursed,

“Li Ying, it’s all your fault!

You insisted on taking on this ‘Headless Ghost King’!

Now look at us—none of us will make it out alive!”

In his rage, Qiu Shan lunged to strangle Li Ying.

This scene terrified the other two squad members, who hurriedly restrained him.

Though Qiu Shan was stopped, the incident left the gray-robed woman ‘Li Ying’ looking extremely grim.

After Qiu Shan had calmed down,

one of the Cangming Squad members forced a bitter smile and said,

“Who could have predicted that this ‘Headless Ghost King’ would mutate?

It now possesses thirty times the strength of an ordinary 1st Turn Level 100 Expert?!”

A 1st Turn Level 100 BOSS!

Typically has ten times the strength of an ordinary 1st Turn Level 100 Expert!

Stronger BOSSes can reach twenty times!

But thirty times? That’s definitely a mutation!

Extremely rare!

When encountered, the only option is to flee!

Yet, as rare as it was, they had stumbled upon it.

It was truly unjust!

This time, the Cangming Squad had come fully prepared to deal with the ‘Headless Ghost King’.

By chance, they had purchased a ‘Premium Ghost-Suppressing Talisman’ worth three million, capable of weakening the ‘Headless Ghost King’s’ power.

Combined with their formidable Combat Power, they had planned to slay it and loot valuable equipment.

Little did they expect that this ‘Headless Ghost King’ had just undergone a mutation!

Combat Power has reached 30 times!

Even with top-grade ghost-suppressing talismans, the few of them were no match for it.

That was why they were trapped in the ‘Headless Ghost Valley’.

“The Golden Light Array is about to collapse!”

A team member glanced at the golden array disk in the arms of the gray-robed woman ‘Li Ying’, his eyes filled with despair.

The reason they had managed to survive until now

was entirely due to Li Ying’s protective treasure, the ‘Golden Light Array Disk’.

But now, under the repeated attacks of the ‘Headless Ghost King’, the Golden Light Array Disk was already covered in cracks and on the verge of shattering.
