Chapter 68 The Nightmare Ancestor's Defeat

Long Cheng did use the Shattered Dragon Roar, but this is the Shifang Space. Damaged souls can be repaired in Shifang. When Long Cheng died after using the Shattered Dragon Roar, his soul was also absorbed by Shifang. Over the years, Long Cheng has been in Shifang.

Long Cheng is not a good person in the conventional sense, but he is not a villain like the Nightmare Ancestor either. Long Cheng has his own bottom line.

Long Cheng still harbored a lingering doubt about what happened in the Kingdom of Bis, which is why he joined the expedition against the Nightmare Ancestor without hesitation.

……

Although Fang Xiu possessed the True Soul Flame and absorbed a large amount of spiritual power, giving him the strength to fight the Nightmare Ancestor head-on, this was only temporary. Don't forget that Fang Xiu is still only a Jade Void cultivator. Even if he is much stronger than an ordinary Jade Void cultivator, he is still a Jade Void cultivator.

The True Soul Flame is not something that someone in the Jade Void stage can activate, let alone Fang Xiu, who is a split soul. Suppressing the injured Nightmare Ancestor for a short time is not a problem, but the momentum is insufficient. After a while, he was suppressed by the Nightmare Ancestor.

After all, no matter how evil the Nightmare Ancestor was, his strength was undeniably formidable.

Just as Fang Xiu was at a disadvantage and was preparing to use his final means to replenish his strength by killing and rely on the wandering souls around him to fill the gap in his soul power, reinforcements finally arrived on the battlefield.

Long Cheng stood in front of the Nightmare Ancestor and launched a series of attacks, forcibly repelling the Nightmare Ancestor.

"It's you?!" Upon seeing Long Cheng, an old acquaintance, the Nightmare Ancestor had something to say. "Long time no see. It seems you haven't been idle these past few years!"

As the Nightmare Ancestor's strength was recovering, Long Cheng was not idle either. Although he only had a soul body left, there were still some spells that he could activate even in his soul body!

When Nightmare Ancestor spoke to him, Long Cheng remained silent, focusing solely on maximizing his power.

Faced with Long Cheng's challenge, the Nightmare Ancestor would certainly not ignore it. Unlike Fang Xiu, a thief with strange powers, Long Cheng was a real powerhouse, and the threat was not comparable.

The two floated in the void, their auras constantly colliding. Just then, a third aura joined in, belonging to the Jade Emperor's masked guard. It was unknown what material the guard's mask was made of, as it remained on his head even after entering the Shifang space.

The arrival of the masked guards was like the starting gun for the battle; the next second, the three of them were locked in combat.

There were no fancy spells, just the exhilarating, visceral blows. The Nightmare Ancestor fought two opponents alone, and the clash between the three caused the space of Shifang to tremble.

The Shifang Space is not a true space after all, and Shifang itself is incomplete. The battle between three peak Qingxu cultivators only makes matters worse.

"This is a battle we can't possibly participate in..." Liao Qing, a guard of the Divine Court, stared blankly at the three people in the air.

The three transformed into streaks of light and clashed in the air. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Xiu's two souls merged and became one.

Sensing the increasingly uncontrollable power within him, Fang Xiu glanced one last time at the three people fighting in the air, then used the Spirit of Shifang to exit Shifang and return to his main body. He would come back in soon!

Outside, as Fang Xiu's masked guards and others entered Shifang one after another, everyone else was on high alert.

As Fang Xiu returned to his physical body, the spiritual energy stored in his soul surged forth immediately. Fang Xiu opened his eyes, and those golden eyes shone even brighter, like flowing gold.

"Little Hu, stop being so stingy, protect me..." Fang Xiu's voice was more subdued than ever before. He released all the spiritual power he had brought from Shifang. Under the influence of Fang Xiu's enhanced soul power, it transformed into a giant foot and kicked towards Qingxu's shaky barrier.

click!

……

At this moment, the battle between the three in the Shifang space had reached a fever pitch. Although the Nightmare Ancestor had suffered repeated injuries, his foundation was still profound. Long Cheng had been biding his time for a hundred years, and the masked guard was bathed in Buddhist light.

"Infernal Black Flame!"

"Dragon King Transformation!"

"May Buddha have mercy!"

The three revealed all their trump cards. Black flames ignited on the Nightmare Ancestor's body. This was the Purgatory Black Flame, which required a great deal of spiritual power and soul energy to refine. It was extremely lethal and even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to withstand. Cultivators with lower cultivation levels would be instantly annihilated if they were touched by the black flame.

Long Cheng's entire body turned red, revealing his true form as a dragon, the Dragon King Transformation, an extremely rare cultivation technique among the dragon race, with very few able to master it. After using it, one's magical power can be said to increase by leaps and bounds.

Behind the masked guard, a reclining phantom of a large Buddha appeared. The Buddha's image was illusory, but only the five fingers were real, and the five fingers of the Buddha's seal descended towards the Nightmare Ancestor.

The collision of the three distorted the space of Shifang, and cracks meandered out from the center of the collision.

boom!

The three unleashed their ultimate skills, and the masked guard was the first to be eliminated. Although at first glance all three appeared to be at the peak of the Qingxu realm, there were still differences between those at the Qingxu realm.

The masked guard wasn't the type to excel at head-on confrontations; he was a summoner! Within Shifang, Nightmare Ancestor held the home-field advantage, Long Cheng had high stats, and only he was surrounded by a Buddha-like aura.

Not long after the masked guard was eliminated, the battle between Long Cheng and the Nightmare Ancestor also came to a conclusion. The Nightmare Ancestor's upper and lower body separated, and Long Cheng cut it off with a single claw.

During his years in Shifang, although Long Cheng was unable to cultivate, he mastered the Dragon King Transformation technique, and its maximum value had already surpassed that of the Nightmare Ancestor.

With his soul severely damaged, Nightmare Ancestor collapsed to the ground in disbelief. He never imagined that the kid who could barely stop him back then with a suicidal technique like Shattered Dragon Roar had now surpassed him.

If this weren't Shifang, the severe damage to his soul would have been enough to kill the Nightmare Ancestor.

"Brother Long...? Brother Long!"

Eliza, who had been unconscious since entering Shifang, suddenly awoke. Looking at Long Cheng with his back to her, two streams of tears uncontrollably flowed from her eyes. A flood of memories surfaced at that moment. Her fragmented soul was being mended in Shifang, and Eliza had now regained all her memories.

Hearing Eliza's call, Long Cheng's body stiffened. At this moment, he didn't dare to turn around or look directly at the girl.

"Heh! Long Cheng! You were careless! I haven't lost! I won't lose! You can all die with me here!"

In the instant Long Cheng was distracted, the Nightmare Ancestor, whose soul was incomplete, rushed towards the core of Shifang, intending to drag everyone here, as well as those outside, down with him.

If Shifang is destroyed, the people inside will die, and the people outside will not be able to escape either. Without Shifang, the king outside will immediately lose control, and no one will be able to escape!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The thought of that scene filled the Nightmare Ancestor with immense joy. Closer! Closer still! As long as he could reach that place!

The Nightmare Ancestor's fragmented soul was slowly restored under the influence of the Spirit of Shifang, and the newly formed hand reached towards the core of Shifang. As long as it reached that place!

Just as the Nightmare Ancestor's fingers were about to touch the core of Shifang, a foot landed and stomped on the Nightmare Ancestor.

"Sorry, this road is closed!"

The Nightmare Ancestor subconsciously looked up and saw Fang Xiu looking down at his disheveled appearance.

Although Shifang repaired the Nightmare Ancestor's soul, it doesn't mean his power will be restored, not to mention that Fang Xiu has now advanced to the Pure Void Realm, making them incomparable to what they were before.
