Chapter 1578: Purple Crocodile Ghost King

ng time. 。Suddenly, with the addition of one more person, the pressure doubled. Faced with four opponents, his fists were no match for their combined strength. It was normal to be defeated so quickly...“Where is Long Yuan!” A roar, like a howling windstorm, echoed through the space near Black Pond. A towering figure wielding a staff topped with a skull of a python, with a necklace of skulls around his chest, each engulfed in black miasma, appearing like a serpent weaving through the bones. His head resembled that of a crocodile, with thick lower limbs standing on the ground, his entire body a shade of deep purple, trailing behind him a long, spiked tail.

That rough voice was almost going to shake the whole space apart.

“I swear on my life, Longyuan was in this black pool before. Also, it’s possible that someone has already taken it.” A ghost king who looked slender with a green ring on his wrist and a silver face mask heard the furious roar and immediately knelt down on one knee. If Lu Xiaoteng were here right now, he would definitely recognize that the kneeling ghost king was none other than Su Qing, whom Lu Xiaoteng had failed to find several times.

"Lord Ghost King, this Guiquan Tianxi Water is not something to be trifled with. Recently, several powerful cultivators of the Huashen realm have appeared in the Ice Cave one after another, and the descendants of the Qin clan have also emerged. Perhaps the disappearance of the Dragon Yuan is related to them. Ordinary people may have the heart, but they lack the ability." A skeleton ghost king clad in green armor beside him, his whole body exuding a heavy aura of Yin Qi, spoke in a low voice.

"You're right, those Nascent Soul juniors, I'll have to find them one by one. There's even a hidden passage, it seems there's something fishy going on." Zi'ao Ghost King let out a sneer, raising his head to look at the location of the door in the space. He pointed his skull python staff towards the concealed door in the void, and a spine-chilling ghostly aura flew towards it.

Beneath a ghostly aura, the gate creaked open with a deafening roar, revealing a passage shrouded in dim light.

“There's another passage here. It seems like someone else is involved. This place originally only had the Snow Region Spirit Deer and descendants of the Qin clan. It looks like this matter was most likely done by the Qin people. Only they would have the energy to carve out a shortcut under the nose of the Snow Region Spirit Deer.” The Green Armor Skeleton analyzed.

"It's not necessarily so. If it were anyone else, this king wouldn't take it to heart. But if that despicable person were to take it, several portions of Dragon Essence, in this realm it would be enough to make this king his mortal enemy!" The Purple Crocodile Ghost King shook his head.

“Does Ghost King refer to the Wind and Snow Fairy” The green-armored skeleton cautiously asked.

"Besides that wretch, who else could it be. To reincarnate into a human and still awaken, she's really lucky. That wretch has a formidable background, even if I met her, it would be hard to get the upper hand." Zi A Guo Ghost King's eyes flashed, "Unless I can get my hands on the other portions of Dragon Essence."

“In this case, the remaining Dragon Essence is something the Ghost King absolutely desires.” The Green-armored Skeleton chuckled with a smirk, glancing at Su Qing before following behind the Purple Crocodile Ghost King into the passage. Su Qing gritted her teeth, and could only follow bravely.

Rumble.....

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I'm ready!

At this time, outside Qingyu City, the armies of cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle with the demon and ghost clans who were besieging the Immortal City and nearby Immortal Villages. Two of the Immortal Villages arranged in a long snake formation had already been breached by the demon and ghost clans respectively.

The armies of the demons and ghosts have already arrived at the foot of Qingyu City.

Flocks of flying warships, the Feiyan class, swarmed in, a menacing black tide. Facing the advancing hordes of low-ranked demon and ghost tribes, the previously mothballed warships were suddenly unleashed into the fray, like a hammer blow striking the vulnerable underbelly of the demon-ghost alliance's army.

When it comes to single combat, perhaps the human race doesn't have a significant advantage against the demon and ghost races. However, humans excel in battle formations, which rely on large numbers of low-level cultivators. Among low-tier demons and ghosts, aside from those with exceptional talent, they ultimately fall short compared to human cultivators.

Once united as a force, the power of the human cultivators is revealed.

At this time, a horde of Gui Shan and Gui Yong, along with their massive army, stormed the city of Qing Yu. Driven by the desire for the sweet blood and souls of human beings, these lower-level ghost clans fiercely attacked the protective barrier of Qing Yu Immortal City with their ghostly weapons.

Boom boom boom... The city protection formation opened wide, dozens of iron-spined back demon rhinoceroses with rough and thick skin, golden thorn demons bears, and black armored lizards charged out under the control of human cultivators.

“Release!” A golden core cultivator from Qingdan Palace pressed his long sword downwards. Using the impact, he dispersed the Ghost Clan army’s formation. Behind him, a large group of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators shot arrows with talismans attached from their wooden bows. The talismans emitted wisps of Buddhist or yang energy.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Arrows flew like rain, and the newly scattered Ghost army was instantly pierced by a flurry of arrows. Skulls were strewn across the ground. The Iron Spiked Backed Devil Lion, Black Armored Lizard, and Golden Thorned Demon Bear, these spirit beasts raised by humans, turned around and retreated back within the Immortal City's grand formation.

But later, the ghost army surged forward like a ferocious beast, crashing against the protective barrier of Qingyu Immortal City.

In the distance, a fleet of sky warships and falcon warships formed a dragon-like shape as they soared through the air, their claws outstretched. Wherever the dragon passed, white beams of light shot down, turning both ghosts and lower-ranked demons into dust under the bombardment of the fleet's spirit cannons.

... whoosh whoosh....

As the cultivator army within Qingyu Immortal City was about to attempt another attack on the ghostly horde outside, a flock of white bone eagles shrieked and swooped down from the sky. These bone eagles had wingspans spanning several meters and moved with incredible speed. At the Ghost King's behest, they deliberately flew around the fleet of flying warships and flying hawk ships that hung in mid-air.

In a burst of shrill cries, a large flock of white storks swooped down on the Qingyu Immortal City. Atop them, warriors from the Fire-Wind Rider Tribe of the Quaba clan launched their spear volleys with lightning speed.

The number of the Quab tribe was still inferior to that of the White Bone Carvings. In mid-air, they were being slaughtered into a mass. When the warship fleet of Qingyu Immortal City came to assist, the white light beams fired from the spirit cannons scattered the bone chips all over the sky.

"These human warships are really despicable!" Further away, dozens of demon cultivators and ghost kings frowned as they watched the fleets of various races clashing from the sky to the ground.

“After all, the number of low-level cultivators among the human race is far inferior to that of our clan and the demon clan. This is why they rely on external forces. If these warships were gone, even the Nascent Soul cultivators from Qingyu Immortal City wouldn't be able to cope.” The leading Crane Wing Ghost King sneered.

“Even a Yuan Ying cultivator from the human race is not easy to deal with. While we have a slight advantage here, Qingyu Continent still possesses some formidable factions. Even if we let go of our current lead, it wouldn't be enough to turn the tide.” Within the black cloud, a skeletal tiger-headed ghost emerged, its body rippling with black energy. Faint streaks of emerald-green phosphorescence danced around it, creating a terrifying sight. It was the twelfth-rank Tiger Fiend King.

“It’s nothing. This time, Elder Golden-Eyed Mantis has invited friends from the demon clan of Jifeng Mountain Range. With these two friends joining us, defeating the human cultivators' army will be a mere matter of days.” The great demon Jinzu Centipede chuckled with delight.plenish the consumption of soul essence for cultivators. The two juniors would be able to raise their cultivation a bit further and might even be able to give it a try.""There's really no other way. I...
