Chapter 1299

"Even so, as far as I know, the Hundred Ghosts Forest is extremely dangerous. We're not familiar with this place. Isn't it too risky to rush through?" Shi Chuankong frowned.

"Fellow Shi, how much do you know about the Hundred Ghosts Forest?" Han Li asked.

"I don't know much, but it's said that there are many desolate souls in the forest. They're extremely difficult to deal with," Shi Chuankong said.

"What is a desolate soul?" Han Li asked.

Weeping Soul, Jin Tong, and Violet Spirit also looked at Shi Chuankong. It was clearly their first time hearing this term.

"There's a limit to the number of times a soul can reincarnate, but it's not absolute. Some souls are talented, or because of some special reasons, even if they exceed the limit, they still don't dissipate from the world. After a long time, they will gradually evolve into a desolate soul.

Although a desolate soul is also a soul, it doesn't have the slightest bit of rationality and only has a desire to kill. It's quite difficult to deal with.

Because of the special environment of the Hundred Ghosts Forest, it's the best place for desolate souls to wander and gather. It's extremely dangerous, "Shi Chuankong said.

"No matter how powerful a desolate soul is, it's still a soul. I don't think it's difficult to deal with it. It's better than facing some large races in the Netherworld," Weeping Soul said.

"I think so too. With the Weeping Soul around, ghosts like these are nothing," Jin Tong chimed in.

"Since the three of you think it's better to go through the Hundred Ghosts Forest, then let's go this way." Shi Chuankong didn't say anything else and nodded.

"Since that's the case, let's go," Han Li said.

Once they made up their minds, they immediately flew into the Hundred Ghosts Forest.

The light in the forest was dim. Clouds and mist lingered, making it impossible to see more than ten feet away. Fortunately, they could freely extend their divine senses, so the group wasn't affected too much.

Their cultivation was strong, so they were like a few faintly discernible phantoms as they passed through the unfamiliar forest.

Han Li flew at the front, his eyes glowing with a purple-black light as he paid close attention to everything around him.

Suddenly, a streak of black light shot out from the dense forest beside him. It was a small black two-headed snake. It bit towards his calf at lightning speed, its speed astonishing.

However, golden light flashed beside Han Li, and a golden line flashed past. The two-headed snake's body was sliced in half down the middle, and inky-black blood splattered through the air. When the blood splattered onto the ground nearby, the ground immediately began to sizzle and smoke began to rise up.

The two halves of the Black Serpent's body twisted a few times before it stopped moving.

At this moment, Han Li and the others had already disappeared.

Shi Chuankong closely followed at Han Li's side and glanced behind him, saying, "It seems the Hundred Ghost Forest doesn't only have desolate souls. There are also many ferocious ghost beasts. Furthermore, their bodies contain a deadly poison. I fear we won't have a good time if we were to be struck. Everyone, be careful."

The others nodded solemnly.

They had just entered the forest, and the first danger they encountered was already of such a degree. Who knew how many more dangers there were in the depths of the forest?

Time passed bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

The group gradually went deeper into the Hundred Ghost Forest and encountered more and more ghost beasts. There were even groups of ghost beasts that had reached the level of Taiyi.

The few of them tried to avoid it as much as they could. If they really couldn't avoid it, they would work together to get rid of it as quickly as possible to avoid causing more trouble.

Half a month later, on a day.

Near a black river, there were loud noises. Roars and screams intertwined and resounded for thousands of miles.

But soon, the loud noises subsided, and the surroundings returned to peace.

The area within a hundred miles of the river was a mess. There were a few huge cracks on the ground that extended for tens of miles. There were also many huge pits that were emitting green smoke.

Han Li and the others stood beside the river. Around them, there were a large number of black wolf-shaped Ghost Beasts that had collapsed. There were nearly ten thousand of them.

These wolf-shaped Ghost Beasts were about seven to eight feet long. They had thick bodies and were covered in black bristles. Their mouths were filled with long fangs, making them look extremely ferocious.

However, the bodies of these wolf-shaped Ghost Beasts were either cut in half or had holes pierced through their heads and chests. They were all dead, and a drop of black blood flowed from their bodies.

The blood of these wolf-shaped Ghost Beasts was also very corrosive. The surrounding ground had become scorched black as if it had been burned by fire.

In the group, Han Li, Wei Hun, and Shi Chuankong looked normal, but Violet Spirit and Jin Tong's faces were slightly pale.

These wolf-shaped Ghost Beasts were not weak, and they could even use a powerful spiritual attack. In addition, there were a lot of them. Violet Spirit and Jin Tong's souls were not strong, so they were slightly injured.

"Are you two alright?" Han Li looked at the two.

"We're fine." Jin Tong forced a smile.

Violet Spirit took a deep breath and shook her head.

"The spiritual attacks of these Ghost Beasts are nothing. According to the records, the spiritual attacks of those Desolate Souls are the truly powerful ones.

We should still be in the periphery of the Hundred Ghost Forest, so we haven't encountered any Desolate Souls yet. If we continue deeper, we'll encounter them soon. If you can't hold on, don't force yourself, "Shi Chuankong said.

Violet Spirit and Jin Tong did not force themselves and nodded in agreement.

The group did not linger and quickly continued forward.

"Violet Spirit, I didn't have time to ask you before, but how have you been in the Demon Realm?" Han Li approached Violet Spirit and asked.

"It's been fine. With Senior Xie and Fellow Daoist Shi taking care of me, I haven't suffered much. I'm just cultivating every day," Violet Spirit replied.

"Speaking of cultivation, it's been less than a thousand years since I left the Demon Realm, yet your cultivation base has improved to this level. That's truly astonishing," Han Li said.

"It's all thanks to Senior Xie. He set up a special space that allowed me to cultivate extremely quickly in there … Furthermore, the things you left behind for me are extremely beneficial to my cultivation," Violet Spirit said.

"Fellow Daoist Xie …" Han Li murmured.

With a Dao Ancestor Stage being like Daoist Xie, it was naturally not difficult for him to improve Violet Spirit's cultivation base.

"How is Fellow Daoist Xie doing?

Is he still in the Spatial Accumulation realm? "Han Li asked after a long while.

"Senior Xie …" Violet Spirit was just about to reply when Han Li suddenly raised a hand to stop her.

His expression froze as he looked ahead. His flying figure stopped as well.

Shi Chuankong, Weeping Soul, and the others also stopped with extremely solemn expressions.

Violet Spirit also hurriedly looked up ahead, and her expression changed.

A gust of white mist had appeared in the forest up ahead, and it was quickly drifting toward the group, leaving a layer of frost on the ground and trees in its wake.

An extremely ferocious aura emanated from the depths of the white mist, and even though most of the people present were Grand Heavenly Realm beings, they could not help but feel apprehensive.

"It's a Famine Soul … And this Famine Soul is no trifling matter. It's at least at the ten-million-year level. Be careful, everyone!" Shi Chuankong warned.

Before he could finish speaking, the white mist in front of them suddenly churned violently, and countless gusts of white Yin winds surged out of it, forming a massive white storm.

The nearby forest was instantly devoured by the white storm, and it exploded into dust while a deep layer of the ground was also scraped away.

The white storm swept toward the group with overwhelming force, and there were even ghostly wails and wolf howls coming from within.

When Shi Chuankong heard this sound, the spirit in his mind began to fluctuate uncontrollably, and the demonic qi in his body began to circulate uncontrollably. The protective spiritual light on the surface of his body quickly dimmed.

His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly retreated while suppressing the abnormal movements of his spirit with all his might.

When Weeping Soul, Golden Boy, and the others heard the ghostly wails, their spirits immediately fluctuated, and they hurriedly retreated.

However, amid the whistling Yin winds in front of them, golden light suddenly shone brightly. Han Li did not retreat with the others. A golden halo enveloped his body, and he stared at the whistling white storm in front of him. His eyes flickered with purplish-black light.

"Master!" Weeping Soul panicked when it saw this, and it immediately stopped and turned around to pounce back.

"Wait, Uncle isn't an impulsive person. He must have his reasons for doing this.

Moreover, it's only one. Uncle can definitely handle it. "Golden Boy pulled Weeping Soul back.

When Violet Spirit saw Han Li's actions, she also stopped moving, and a worried expression appeared on her face.

The white storm arrived in front of Han Li in the blink of an eye, and like a huge mouth, it enveloped Han Li and swallowed him whole.

Han Li's body remained motionless, and the golden light on his body did not dim. Instead, it grew brighter, and a layer of misty golden light formed in front of him to block the white storm.

"Boom!" A muffled explosion sounded!

The white storm came to a halt several tens of feet away from the golden light, and it was forcibly frozen in place by the golden light, unable to advance any further.

"Roar!" An earth-shattering roar resounded from the depths of the white storm.

A tyrannical killing intent surged forth, and this invisible killing intent was so strong that even Shi Chuankong and the others who were standing in the distance couldn't help but shiver in fear.

"Idiot!

It wasn't easy for you to hide your true body, but now you've revealed your power. "Han Li seemed as if he didn't feel anything, and he coldly snorted.

Dazzling golden light blossomed from his right hand, and he pointed at the void.

A long golden streak of light shot out from his hand, and disappeared into the white storm like a bolt of lightning.

The roiling white storm suddenly stopped, and with a "boom", it abruptly exploded, turning into scattered mist that filled the sky, and disappeared.

A gigantic white ghost appeared. This ghost was a thousand feet tall, but its body was thin and long, like a bamboo pole.

The ghost's tall and thin body was draped in a long white robe that dragged behind it. Both of its hands had long fingernails, and its tongue was long and swaying in front of its body. It was very similar to the ghost that hung itself in the folk songs.

An incomparably enormous ghost energy was being emitted from the white ghost's body, and it was far stronger than Shi Chuankong, the Weeping Soul, and the others. It wasn't much weaker than Xue Li's.

At this moment, the white ghost's chest had been pierced by the golden streak of light, and a huge hole had appeared in it.

The ghost lowered its head to look at the big hole in its chest, and an expression of disbelief appeared on its face.

Shi Chuankong and the others also revealed expressions of disbelief when they saw this scene from afar.

Han Li raised his arm, and the golden streak of light slashed upwards.

"Crack!" The white ghost's upper body was instantly split in half. Then, its entire body exploded, turning into a large cloud of thick white smoke that floated in all directions.

Amidst the thick smoke, one could vaguely see many ghost-like white balls of light. Each of these balls of light emitted a shocking amount of ghost energy, and they flew in all directions as if they were alive.
