Chapter 1528
1528 Fengdu Will Not Lose, General Skull Ignited His Soul
“Oh? Samsara Emperor Seals?”
The clan leaders of all four great clans noticed the seals hovering above the city and were rather surprised by it.
“A protective boundary formed by the Samsara Emperor Seals?” Li Clan Leader said.
He then raised his hand to release a large amount of Yin qi into the air, forming a massive black palm that shadowed the sky.
!!Bang!
The massive palm crashed onto the boundary, shaking the entire city.
Countless wandering souls were crushed by the quakes and disintegrated into nothing.
“All souls, to Soul-Wandering Street now! Do not come out before it’s safe!” General Skull shouted.
Countless wandering souls swarmed toward the street immediately.
The Underworld soldiers immediately channeled their Yin qi to protect the street and ensure the wandering souls’ safety.
The protective boundary shook violently after being hit by the Li Clan Leader, but it remained strong as it continued to release a faint glow of Immortal Sparks into the air.
“Hmph. Quite strong for a shell, but how many hits can you take?” the Li Clan Leader scoffed.
On the other hand, Mei Clan Leader, a voluptuous woman, pointed at the boundary and sent powerful finger energy crashing down.
Kaboom!
The deafening blast broke even the space.
The clan leaders of Wang and Liang attacked as well. One of them wielded a black saber, and the other held a black scepter with white strips.
All kinds of Underworld Immortal Techniques were blasted at the boundary.
The powerful attacks trembled the boundary relentlessly.
Crack!
A loud crack sounded amidst the series of explosions.
A large crack had appeared on the boundary.
Yin qi gushed into the city through the crack and stirred up a destructive storm.
The streets in the city were destroyed by the storm, followed by many other wandering souls, and that was not the worst that had happened.
The most frightening thing would be the crack on the boundary expanding under the relentless attacks, and it would soon crumble into pieces.
The moment the boundary shattered, a cataclysmic fate would befall Fengdu.
Kaboom!
It was then a pitch-black three-legged cauldron flew out.
It was the Demonic General Cauldron!
Following the cauldron’s appearance, the Eighty Demonic Generals flew out from within, each carrying powerful energy fluctuation.
“Form formation!” the leading Demonic General shouted.
All eighty of the Demonic Generals teamed up and formed the Eighty Heavenly Demonic Formation!
A violet ray shot out from the formation and swiftly filled up the crack on the boundary, slowing it down.
“Oh? The Eighty Demonic Generals of Chiyou. I didn’t expect all of you to be on Fengdu’s side. Interesting, but how long more could you guys hold up with your current strength,” the Li Clan Leader said with an intrigued smile.
As soon as his words subsided, he and the other clan leader continued their attacks, blasting Fengdu’s boundary with Yin qi.
The entire city trembled violently.
The Eighty Demonic Generals were losing their Yin qi rapidly, they would not last long if the attacks continued.
General Skull remembered that Chu Kuangren placed Fengdu under his protection, and if the city fell under his watch, he would have no face with face the Ghost Emperor, despite him being a skeleton with no face.
“I will not let you people invade the city!” General Skull bellowed.
Then, he rushed to the Samsara Emperor Seals and infused his Yin qi into them. It was as though he unlocked the hatch on his body, his Yin qi gushed out like a waterfall.
“Samsara Emperor Seals, I might not be your master, but please take my power and protect Fengdu!” General Skull said as the azure flames in his eye sockets burned brightly.
It was as though the seals answered his request, they started to absorb his Yin qi and then converted it into an even more powerful source of samsara energy.
The boundary shone brightly and started to strengthen itself.
“Great!”
Cai Feng of the Arcane Deity Sect was delighted, and so were the other souls.
They looked at General Skull with nothing but admiration for his bravery!
“General Skull!”
“With General Skull here, we will be fine! We just have to wait for the Ghost Emperor to be back!”
“Yeah!”
The souls heaved a sigh of relief, but it was too soon to lower their guards.
The clan leaders of the four great clans grinned coldly.
“General Skull, I have heard of you, and you really lived up to my expectation.”
“Yeah. You are able to bring out the Samsara Emperor Seal’s power to this extent with that body of yours. I have to look at you differently now.”
The Li Clan Leader then revealed another black seal before him.
It was another Samsara Emperor Seal!
In fact, not only the Li Clan Leader, the other three clan leaders revealed their own as well.
They actually got the seals from Yincao City as a weapon against Fengdu.
“They have the Samsara Emperor Seals too?”
General Skulls’ fiery eyes flickered out of worry.
The four clan leaders channeled their respective seals and used them to enhance their attacks. It even contained a hint of the Ghost Emperor’s authority!
Kaboom!
Multiple explosions went off, and it caused even more cracks in the boundary.
“No! No! Fengdu will not fall!!” General Skull shouted.
The green flame that was his eyes flickered and turned crimson!
His Yin qi was boosted to its limit all of a sudden.
The four Samsara Emperor Seals shook and released endless Immortal Sparks outwards, hence strengthening the boundary again.
“You ignited your Soul Body?!”
“You’re out of your mind. Your soul will be shattered!”
The four clan leaders were shocked by General Skull’s action.
Humans have Life Essences, and the dead souls have Soul Bodies!
When the Soul Body was destroyed, it would mean permanent death for the soul without the chance of reincarnation or being reborn.
General Skull ignited his Soul Body, similar to a human ignited his Life Essence, to acquire a boost in power so that he could continue infusing his Yin qi into the seals.
“I am here because of the Ghost Emperor, and I see no problem dying for him!” General Skull bellowed.
The crimson flame in his eyes swiftly engulfed him whole.
A beautiful flower appeared above his head and it was withering swiftly.
The flower was one of the three flowers that represented the Arch Gilded Immortal realm.
As the flower wither, the crimson flame burned brighter, and soon shone all over the city.
“General Skull…”
Countless Underworld soldiers watched with calm looks, but deep down, they were getting emotional.
They already had the resolution to sacrifice for the Ghost Emperor, so even though they were saddened by General Skull’s sacrifice, they admired him even more.
“Attack with full force!”
The four clan leaders channeled their respective Samsara Emperor Seals and attacked the boundary again in a more violent manner.
General Skull’s skeleton started to crack under pressure and a sudden blast sent him flying back to the ground.
The crimson flame extinguished, and his Soul Body started to flicker as if he would disintegrate into nothingness in the next moment.
Bang!
The boundary shattered.
The four clan leaders’ eyes gleamed, and the armies that surrounded the city grew restless.
It was at the same moment, deafening war drums sounded from further away, followed by the thundering gallops of stallions.
An unprecedented murderous qi shrouded the city and its surroundings.
