A day passed.
It was early in the morning.
Li Nianfan woke up early. He looked at the sunrise on the horizon.
White Impermanence immediately floated over and pointed in a direction. He smiled and said, “Mr. Li, we will soon arrive at the Cool Breeze Gorge.”
He looked over where he pointed. It was right where the sunrise was at.
A red sun hung there. There was a hazy canyon in front of the red sun.
The canyon was split in half into a gorge. The center of the sun was aligned with the middle of the gorge. There were a lot of halos caused by the sun. It looked majestic.
The daybreak sunlight was not blinding. It was mellow and soft.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “What a nice coincidence, this majestic view is worth the trip.”
The sunrise view was sufficient to make the place a tourist attraction spot.
White Impermanence hurriedly go along with him, “You are right, Mr. Li. Look at that sun, it is so round and big. Beautiful, what a beautiful sight!”
Li Nianfan felt inspired, “When the clear sun shines, the clouds moved aside by themselves.”
“Good poem. What a nice poem! Mr. Li, you are truly talented. Look at that long and wide gorge, that…”
Black Impermanence also nodded. He was ready to go along with it but he was not talented. He could have come up with a short poem, it might impress the expert.
However, he was stumped mid-sentence. Then, he blinked and stared at the horizon for a while. He yelled anxiously, “White, look over there. Are they fighting over there?”
Everyone hurriedly looked over.
Figures were moving under the sunlight.
Li Nianfan tried his best to look at it but all he could see were moving figures. He could not focus with the sun halos.
He looked at everyone around him and realized they were shocked.
It seemed like he had to prepare a pair of binoculars next time.
The others already cast Zoom Spell to watch. They looked serious.
“They are fighting! It’s General of the Bloody Sea and the others!”
“The opponent is Shura Ghost General. That fella betrayed the Underworld!”
“Things do not look good. Quick, hurry, speed up, speed up!”
Black and White Impermanence were worried. Everyone went over there as fast as they could.
Li Nianfan finally saw what was happening as they got closer. He saw… two figures.
They stood on both ends of the gorge. It was clear which side they were on.
Li Nianfan suddenly realized something. He asked, “Betrayed the Underworld?”
“Mr. Li, look over there. That guy with the blood-red cape is our Underworld’s General of the Bloody Sea. He is responsible for managing the bloody sea. Look over there, the guy with the black armor. That’s Shura Ghost General. He is responsible for managing Hell,” said White Impermanence while he pointed.
‘Sorry, can’t see them. But I can imagine.’
Li Nianfan pretended like he knew what was going on. He nodded and asked, “Shura Ghost General betrayed the Underworld?”
“Sigh, the bane of the Underworld.”
Black Impermanence sighed. He shook his head and said, “We are not sure why, but we knew that he stopped listening to orders all of a sudden. He sneaked into the Immortal Realm when it was chaotic at the bloody sea. We finally run into him.”
Everyone continued onwards. Tension started to fill the air.
Li Nianfan did not expect to run into a climatic incident when he just got there. He was nervous but at the same time, he was kind of excited.
At the Cool Breeze Gorge.
Figures flew around in the air. Crossing each other with a deadly aura in the air. There was a huge amount of Onis and weird-looking ghosts. It seemed very non-human.
The deep gorge was not a threat to them because they were all floating.
At the center of the battlefield, General of the Bloody Sea held a Bloody Spear. He was battling Shura Ghost General.
Shura Ghost General had a long black whip as his weapon. It was like a venomous snake. It could elongate and retract on will. It was also surrounded by a hazy black mist. The whip was hard to avoid.
The General of the Bloody Sea had red sparks in his eyes. His Bloody Spear attacks were quick and violent. He stared straight at Shura Ghost General. He asked, “Shura, why? Didn’t you say that we are going to protect the Underworld together?”
Shura Ghost General replied in a cold voice, “The Underworld is gone. There is nothing worth protecting now.”
The General of the Bloody Sea said with agony, “We can rebuild what’s gone. What is the reason for your depravity?!”
Shura Ghost General laughed. He sneered, “Rebuild the Underworld? Why don’t I build a new Ghost Realm that belongs to me? The new era is an opportunity. You and me. Let’s work together, we can rule the Ghost Realm and the Immortal Realm. How about that?”
“You. You!”
The General of the Bloody Sea looked at Shura Ghost General with disbelief. He said in a pained voice, “You’re not like this in the past.”
He lost focus for a moment. At that moment, the whip attacked like a snake. It was too sudden. It whipped his chest with a ‘slap’.
“Hmph!”
The General of the Bloody Sea groaned. He quickly moved back. A whip wound appeared on his chest. His soul was injured. Black flames were burning on his chest.
The General of the Bloody Sea looked at his wound and felt deep pain. His body was in pain, his heart was more pained.
That was the Soul Whip. It was used to attack ghosts and evil souls in Hell. He was attacked by the whip.
The red sun was in the background. He instantly felt miserable.
“You are not going to win,” said the Shura Ghost General. He proudly levitated in mid-air with a lot of ghosts behind him, “I manage Hell. I can easily control the evil ghosts. I only want the Death Note. I can spare your life this time.”
The General of the Bloody Sea wiped his Bloody Spear and yelled coldly, “Dream on!”
“Then I can only say sorry about it.”
Shura Ghost General sounded emotionless. He moved aside and growled, “Attack!”
A buff, huge, fat, and extremely ugly evil ghost stepped out from behind.
The evil ghost looked like a toad but it only had one eye at the center of his forehead. It was covered in warts.
A huge mouth under its eye. The mouth was puffed up.
It kept expanding like a balloon. A terrifying aura emitted from its body.
The General of the Bloody Sea looked frantic. He hurriedly yelled, “Watch out, everyone! It’s the Soul Shattering Wind! Pull your soul together, don’t be blown out by the wind!”
The Onis were not ready for that. They instantly freaked out.
Shura Ghost General stood by and watched calmly. Suddenly, he arched his eyebrow and looked over the horizon.
Countless clouds were incoming.
Among the clouds, the golden cloud was eye-catching. It was huge. Even during the daytime, it was blinding.
His apathetic attitude changed when he saw the golden cloud. He even rubbed his eyes, he thought he was hallucinating.
‘Is that…Deluxe Merit Cloud?’
‘What’s going on?’
‘How did a Deluxe Merit Cloud be among all those clouds? And it is a huge Deluxe Merit Cloud.’
‘It is too fake.’
The evil ghost had expanded to its maximum capacity. Shura Ghost General felt his heart thumped like crazy. It sent a shiver down his spine.
He screamed without hesitation, “Stop. Stop it immediately!”
However, it was too late.
“Whoosh—”
“Fume!”
The evil ghost opened its mouth. The endless ghastly wind blew out. The canyon on the opposite side was moved back. It did not crumble because it was blown to ashes.
The wind was black and powerful like an angry dragon. It formed into a black tornado. It was extremely horrifying.
The Onis tried their best to resist it.
The black wind was irresistibly powerful. It even spread to Li Nianfan.
“Be careful, Mr. Li.”
Black and White Impermanence hurriedly raised their hands and blocked the wind. Dragin and Nanan immediately cast spells to shield out the black wind.
Li Nianfan looked at the dark tornado and exclaimed, “What a scary black wind.”
“Yikes— It… It’s over.”
Shura Ghost General was petrified. He stumbled back and cowered.
A minion next to him hurriedly asked, “Sire, what happened?”
Shura Ghost General said in a troubled voice, “Something bad happened. That fella blew the wind to that Deluxe Merit Cloud.”
The minion looked at the Deluxe Merit Cloud and exhaled, “Sire, thankfully, the Deluxe Merit Cloud was shielded. It was protected.”
“Are you blind?! What do you mean it was protected? Didn’t you see? His hair was messy from the wind. This is bad!”
Shura Ghost General was smart. He knew the evil ghost had no chance of surviving. He immediately made the decision, “Everyone, back up. Back up from that evil ghost. Quick!”
He was the first one to back up.
The evil ghost looked lost. Its only eye was filled with confusion. It did not know what happened yet.
Then, a thick bolt of purple lightning struck down from above. It exploded when it struck with a loud boom.
The electricity spread. Those ghosts that were near that evil ghost instantly vanished into nothing.
The black wind abruptly stopped. Everyone stood there dumbfounded. They looked shocked and terrified. The scene fell into silence.
They all looked at the slowly incoming golden cloud at the same time. They cringed and did not dare to breathe. They were scared that they might breathe too hard on the Deluxe Merit Cloud and then be struck to death by a misunderstanding.
Li Nianfan also jumped. He exclaimed, “What a scary bolt of lightning! What was that? Who cast that spell?”
“Mr… Mr. Li.”
White Impermanence gulped and forced a smile. He said softly, “That evil ghost did not hurt you from its attack, but it did touch you. It is considered an attack so it was struck to death. A fair death.”
“I caused the lightning?”
Li Nianfan was baffled. It was his first time witnessing the power of his Deluxe Merit Flesh. He was pleasantly surprised, “I’m that powerful?”
‘Bigshot, please have some self-awareness. You are not just powerful, you are super-duper incredibly powerful, alright?’
Black Impermanence coughed softly. He said in a quivering voice, “Indeed powerful.”
That was their first time witnessing the greatness of a Deluxe Merit Saint too.
Li Nianfan should not be described as having a Deluxe Merit Flesh. He was totally the Lord of Deluxe Merit!
In conclusion, the evil ghost died for good reason.
Li Nianfan gasped. He was also shocked. ‘My golden touch… is super scary!’
‘I should’ve known. Since I transmigrated, how would I only be given a useless System? My real power is my flesh.’
He instantly felt pleased when he noticed everyone was looking at him with respect. He smiled and waved, “Cultivators, don’t worry. As long as you don’t hurt me, I cannot hurt you either. Don’t panic. Don’t panic.”
“Tap-tap.”
Everyone near him unconsciously stepped back and kept a safe distance.
“Fine. Continue. Ignore me.” Li Nianfan rode on his golden cloud with Dragin and Nanan, he flew to the side.
The General of the Bloody Sea looked serious. He looked at the Black and White Impermanence with shock. He said, “Impermanence, that is…”
White Impermanence lowed his voice and said, “He is Mr. Li!”
The General of the Bloody Sea was once again shocked. He asked in a puzzled voice, “Didn’t you say he wants to be an ordinary man? How did he become the Deluxe Merit Saint?”
White Impermanence opened his mouth, “You are outdated. He is bored with being an ordinary man. So, he became the Deluxe Merit Saint.”
The General of the Bloody Sea felt dizzy. He felt something was very wrong with that.
“Stop trying to figure out the state of the expert. Just follow along,” interrupted Black Impermanence. He said, “Oh yeah, for the battle later, make it more interesting. The expert likes a good show.”
“You want me to perform? You are insulting me!”
The General of the Bloody Sea did not look happy. Then, he announced, “I have to clear something up. I am not trying to perform, my battles themselves are entertaining and interesting!”
Other the other side, Shura Ghost General kept looking away. He looked bewilderingly at Li Nianfan from time to time. He was kind of lost.
In the end, he focused and said, “Screw it. Just remember this, for the battle later, try to avoid that man as much as possible. Don’t even accidentally touch him. Don’t ever attack him!”
“Got it. We got it,” nodded the ghosts. They did not need his reminder.
The General of the Bloody Sea picked up his Bloody Spear. He yelled, “Shura Ghost General, are you ready?”
“Bring it!”
“Kill!”
Both sides fought again.
The Black and White Impermanence joined the battle. The Onis were instantly at an advantage. The battle was more exciting and interesting.
Li Nianfan watched from afar. He stood on his shiny golden cloud. It was the only area that was peaceful.
He watched while he critiqued.
He realized that the battle between ghosts was not complex or fancy. It was usually simple and violent. They would soon have a winner.
Black and White Impermanence had the ultimate weapon to attack ghosts. Once ghosts were hit by the mourning staff, they would mourn on the spot and lose all their energy.
The battle between the General of the Bloody Sea and Shura Ghost General was the most entertaining.
The two of them were terrifyingly powerful. They went all out on their ghastly attacks. Bloody aura and ghost wind crossed each other while they fought. While they were fighting, they would accidentally kill off ghosts that were near them.
The General of the Bloody Sea had a blood-red cape. It rustled while he moved. Apart from looking cool, it was also an Immortal Item. It could teleport someone to the bloody sea once the opponent was covered with the cape. It affected the actions of the opponent.
Shura Ghost General had jet-black armor on. He wrapped himself up from head to toe nicely. No one could see his face. You could only feel his cold penetrating gaze.
The battle was getting intense.
The General of the Bloody Sea suddenly yelled, “Angry Acheron!”
“Splash!”
The Bloody Spear flew to the sky like a rainbow. Acheron water appeared out of thin air. The endless Acheron water contained spears, it went towards Shura Ghost General.
Shura Ghost General was composed. He quickly whipped around with his Soul Whip. His whip transformed into a giant black dragon that protected him. The black dragon looked up menacingly as if it was awoken from slumber!
It was too powerful. Everything seemed to be overwhelmed and frozen in place.
Everyone felt anxious.
They looked at each other. They both screamed.
“Shura!”
“Bloodsea!”
However, just when they were about to collide. Their bodies froze in place. They stopped at the same time.
The General of the Bloody Sea saluted at Li Nianfan and said, “Mr. Li, we are about to battle with our best attacks. Please step back for another thousand meters. Don’t be hurt by the leftover powers.”
