With the Dragonslayer Sword in hand, the golden immortal radiance around Jared surged again.The golden dragon markings on the blade began flowing at high speed. Sharp dragon cries rang out from the sword, as if it were answering its master's will to fight."Roar "A savage roar burst out from inside the coffin.It was even more terrifying than the roar from the earlier Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon. The whole Sacred Mountain shook violently under it. Huge cracks split open across the mountainside, and broken stone kept tumbling down.Right after that, the coffin lid was thrown open in an instant.A massive black figure slowly rose to its feet from inside the coffin.That figure stood 30 yards tall. Its whole body was covered in pitch-black scales, and from those scales came a thick ghostly aura and the stench of decay.Its head looked like that of a giant evil ghost. Its eyes were blood-red, but hollow and vacant, without the slightest trace of intelligence in them.Its fangs jutted out, several yards long, and a vast Sacred Paragon pressure rolled off its body.That pressure was several times stronger than the earlier Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon's, enough to crush a True Immortal Realm Level One expert.But its gaze was empty, and its movements were stiff. It was obviously nothing more than a ghoul husk without thoughts of its own.The Celestial Palace had forced it back to life with a secret method and turned it into nothing but a tool for slaughter.After the Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon rose, it did not speak a single word. It only lifted one hand with mechanical stiffness.Black ghostly aura instantly gathered in its palm and formed into a massive black ghost claw.That claw carried endless evil power as it tore toward Jared.At the same time, the formation on the altar erupted once more.Countless golden runes rose from the altar floor and rushed together, forming a gigantic golden hand.It moved with the black ghost claw, closing in on Jared from both sides.For a moment, the black ghost claw and the golden giant hand fed off each other, turning into a crushing torrent of force that bore down on Jared.The pressure rolling off it was enough to make heaven and earth change color.But Jared didn't move. His face stayed calm.He held the Dragonslayer Sword and gave it a light swing."Cut."The single word fell.The Dragonslayer Sword burst with dazzling golden light, and a streak of sword energy shot out, even larger than before.Inside that sword energy, the shadow of a golden dragon came alive. It opened its massive jaws and bit down hard on the incoming torrent of attacks.Boom!The golden dragon slammed head-on into the black ghost claw and the golden giant hand.The impact let out a world-shaking blast.The Sacred Mountain shook violently. The cracks running across the mountain spread wider and wider, like the whole mountain could collapse at any second.The golden dragon's phantom tore through the black ghost claw and the golden giant hand in an instant.Golden light pressed down on the black ghost aura and even the altar's golden glow, purifying the power inside them again and again.The Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon let out a shrill, ragged howl.The black ghost claw was ripped apart, and golden sword energy scorched his arm too, burning line after line of charred wounds into it.Black blood ran from the wounds, carrying a rotten stench strong enough to turn the stomach.But his eyes stayed hollow. There wasn't the slightest change in them. He only raised his hand again, stiff and mechanical, trying to gather power one more time. Jared gave him no chance at all.His figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon in an instant.With the Dragonslayer Sword in hand, he drove it hard toward the Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon's chest.The golden blade carried endless force and thick purifying power, and it punched straight through the Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon's chest in a single stroke.The tip burst out through his back."Shhk-"Golden immortal radiance exploded from the blade and poured into the Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon's body in an instant.It kept purifying the ghost aura inside him. It kept tearing his body apart.The Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon released a scream so sharp it seemed ready to split the air open.noveldramaHis body started turning faint little by little. Black scales kept falling away, and black blood kept spraying out.His aura was fading fast too, growing weaker and weaker.In the end, he turned completely into a wisp of green smoke and scattered between heaven and earth.Not even a trace was left behind.This ghoul husk had no mind at all. Ifit had been a real flesh-and-blood cultivator with the same strength, Jared would never have cut it down this easily. After dealing with the Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon, Jared turned, and his eyes fell on the altar.By then, the golden light over the altar had already dimmed completely.The strange runes carved into the ground had lost all their light too, leaving them dull and dead.The altar's formation had completely collapsed.But Jared still didn't stop.He knew the Celestial Palace had poured enormous effort into building this Sacred Mountain.That meant there had to be more secrets hidden inside, along with more resources used to revive Ghost Clan powerhouses and refine ghoul husks.If this Sacred Mountain wasn't completely destroyed, the Celestial Palace wouldcome back sooner or later.He slowly raised a hand.Golden immortal radiance gathered in his palm again.This time, he used seventy percent of his strength.A golden hand seal took shape in his palm, even larger than the one before.It held endless might, thick purifying power, and even a trace of the power of theGreat Dao of heaven and earth.Boom!The golden hand seal smashed down hard onto the altar.A heaven-shaking blast rang out across the world.Under the impact of the golden hand seal, the altar collapsed in an instant, andcountless chunks of stone blasted outward in every direction.The strange runes carved across the altar shattered in an instant. They broke apart into flecks of golden light and scattered into the world.But Jared still didn't stop.He raised his hand and kept striking, one palm after another, toward the summit of Sacred Mountain.Every palm carried endless force. Every blow smashed huge sections of the mountain apart.Golden immortal light kept pouringover the summit of SacredMountain, washing through it again and again as it purified the evil aura buried inside the mountain. All the secrets hidden inside Sacred Mountain, all the resources prepared to reviveGhost Clan powerhouses and refine ghoul husks,were blasted apart the moment the golden palm prints hit them. They turned to ash and vanished into the world.Under Jared's palm force, Sacred Mountain started collapsing bit by bit.The whole mountain shook harder and harder. Massive cracks spread across the entire mountainside.Broken stone kept tumbling down without end. Dust billowed up until it covered the sky and blotted out the sun.That Sacred Mountain of the Celestial Palace, once towering and heavily guarded, looked like it had been made of paper under Jared's palm force.It was destroyed little by little, reduced to ruins little by little.Just then-Far off at the edge of the sky, two streaks of golden light were rushing over at topspeed. Inside the streaks of light were a man and a woman.The man wore white. His features were handsome, his bearing refined and gentle,and the aura rolling off him was at High Immortal Realm Level Nine.The woman wore black. Her figure was slender, her face cold and striking, and shewas also at High Immortal Realm Level Nine.They were Lucian and Lyria, the two the Celestial Palace had sent.They had come under orders to inspect the progress of the revivalritual on this Sacred Mountain and, along the way, check what had happened after the previous Sacred Mountain was destroyed. But the moment they drew close enough to see clearly, both of them froze with theireyes wide open.That towering Sacred Mountain was collapsing.
