And yet, things weren’t over yet. There was no way the Cai Clan patriarch would be able to complete the blow with his lightning axe. Cracking sounds could be heard as the axe began to fall apart, and then, the Cai Clan patriarch... physically exploded!!
A piercing scream could be heard as his body collapsed into a mass of blood. At that point, he flew out in nascent divinity form, his face a mass of shock and terror as he tried to flee.
But the black hole’s power was formidable, and no matter what the nascent divinity patriarch did to try to escape, he was sucked backward.
“No... NO!!” he screamed, overwhelmed by fear and terror. Never could he possibly have imagined that one drop of the giant ghost king’s soul blood could push someone all the way to the demigod level.
It was completely absurd and unbelievable.... In fact, it really was impossible for the giant ghost king to do something like that, to the point where the patriarch wondered if the giant ghost king’s cultivation base was actually beyond the demigod level and had reached... the Mahayana Realm!! [1]
But that was completely impossible!!
Therefore, the only other explanation... was that there was something uniquely special about this Bai Hao!
Regardless of the explanation, the Cai Clan patriarch was now in a deadly situation. His nascent divinity screamed as he was sucked toward the black hole. However, just before he was pulled all the way in... a tremor ran through Bai Xiaochun, and his demigod cultivation base began to drop. In the blink of an eye, he was all the way back in Core Formation, where he had started.
The sensation of vast power from moments ago was gone. Suddenly being wrenched back into Core Formation was not easy to handle, and he immediately coughed up a massive mouthful of blood. As he staggered backward, the long red spear faded, and the nine howling dragons disappeared.
“What a pity....” he murmured to himself. The feeling of incredible power that he had just experienced had been entrancing, to say the least.
The black hole vanished, and the Cai Clan patriarch in nascent divinity form shivered, feeling like he had just stepped halfway into the gates of the netherworld. He instantly burst into motion, traveling 3,000 meters away in the blink of an eye. When he turned to look back, he saw the light of teleportation completely washing over Bai Xiaochun.
The patriarch shivered again, fear lingering inside him at the sensation of having nearly been killed. He knew without a doubt that if Bai Xiaochun’s aura had lasted even a moment longer, he would have been killed.
As of this moment, his fleshly body was destroyed, but his nascent divinity remained. His life was saved. However, the only thing he felt inside was bitterness, terror, and madness.
“They... made it out of Giant Ghost City.... If we don't find them, then the giant ghost king will be back in only a few months.... Demigod.... Demigod.... He can kill devas with the simple swipe of a spear....” Trembling, the patriarch threw his head back and howled. Then, he turned and headed toward the Chen Clan. After all, the tribulation to come would rain down on all three great clans, and therefore, they all needed to work together to resolve the situation.
They needed to come to an agreement that, even if one of them were to be seriously injured, the other two would still make a move. There could be no more infighting between them. Right now... they had to focus all their resources on hunting down the giant ghost king and Bai Hao!
Furthermore, the Cai Clan patriarch felt confident that the teleportation formation couldn’t have taken them extremely far away. His guess was that, at most, its range was roughly 50,000 kilometers!
As the Cai Clan patriarch left to confer with the patriarchs of the Chen and Bai Clans, countless people within Giant Ghost City were reacting to what had just occurred with Bai Hao. All of the power groups, all of the soul cultivators, came to hear about the matter, and were struck with indescribable shock.
“He seriously injured the patriarchs of the Bai and Chen Clan, and even destroyed the fleshly body of the Cai Clan patriarch!!”
“This Bai Hao... is so strong!”
“Heavens! This Bai Hao single-handedly dominated all three of the great clans!!”
“The giant ghost king escaped.... If he recovers and comes back, the three great clans and the six heavenly marquises will all be crushed like weeds.... And Bai Hao... well, it doesn’t matter how he might have offended the giant ghost king in the past, after risking his life the way he did, he’ll definitely become one of the most important people in all of Giant Ghost City!!”

662: I’m Only Doing This To Save You, Old Pal
Chapter 662: Im Only Doing This To Save You, Old Pal
Not even forty hours had passed since the outbreak of rebellion in Giant Ghost City!
During that short period of time, drastic changes had occurred, which the people of the city found outrageous and terrifying.
First the nine serenities king had made his probing attack. Then the six marquises revolted. Four devas joined the fray. The giant ghost king had not even been able to make a stand, and yet, that was only the beginning. When it was revealed that the giant ghost king was only a clone, the second phase of the event began.
The entire city was turned upside down as the rebels searched for the giant ghost king’s true self. That was when Bai Hao showed up on the scene, holding the giant ghost king’s true self captive. Everything which occurred after that... would be fixed for all time in the memories of those who had been present.
Three powerful devas were seriously injured, and then... Bai Hao and the giant ghost king escaped the city!
From that moment on, Bai Hao would be completely famous within Giant Ghost City. In fact, it was easy to imagine how his name would soon spread to the Wildlands at large.
In a mountain range about 50,000 kilometers away from Giant Ghost City, Bai Xiaochun could be seen speeding along, face ashen, carrying an old man on his back. The man was withered and wrinkled, and his aura was virtually undetectable. In fact, even close examination would lead one to think that he was actually a corpse.
Of course, that old man was none other than the giant ghost king. It was hard to say if his current condition was a result of him sacrificing a drop of soul blood, or because of his decay period. Either way, he was completely and utterly unconscious. His virtually indestructible body was now so profoundly weak that it seemed possible for an ordinary knife to cut through him and end his life.
Bai Xiaochun’s aura was also unstable. The giant ghost king had slipped into unconsciousness right after the two of them teleported out of the city, several hours before. Bai Xiaochun had also been seriously injured, and the soul blood had done nothing to heal him. Although he had received vital enlightenment, after he slipped out of the Demigod Realm, his injuries all flared up, leaving him feeling incredibly weak.
Thankfully, his fleshly body was very strong, so he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay conscious. After seeing that the giant ghost king was unconscious, he decided not to drag him around by the neck any more, and instead slung him over his back.
Bai Xiaochun knew that he was still wrapped up in a momentous event. The three great clans would not rest until he was dead, and it was the same with the six heavenly marquises. As for the latter, because none of them had a deva, and he had been zipping around the city via teleportation formation, he hadn’t encountered any of them. But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t in the future.
