With the Dragonyer Sword in hand, the golden immortal radiance around Jared surged again.
The golden dragon markings on the de 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 n 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 ck figure slowly rose to its feet from inside the coffin.
That figure stood 30 yards tall. Its whole body was covered in pitch-ck 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 n 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 Pce had forced it back to life with a secret method and turned it into nothing but a tool for ughter.
After the Ghost n Sacred Paragon rose, it did not speak a single word. It only lifted one hand with mechanical stiffness.
ck ghostly aura instantly gathered in its palm and formed into a massive ck ghost w.
That w 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 ck ghost w, closing in on Jared from both sides.
For a moment, the ck ghost w 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 Dragonyer Sword and gave it a light swing.
"Cut."
The single word fell.
The Dragonyer Sword burst with dazzling golden light, and a streak of sword energy shot out, evenrger 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 iing torrent of attacks.
Boom!
The golden dragon mmed head-on into the ck ghost w and the golden giant hand.
The impact let out a world-shaking st.
The Sacred Mountain shook violently. The cracks running across the mountain spread wider and wider, like the whole mountain could copse at any second.
The golden dragon''s phantom tore through the ck ghost w and the golden giant hand in an instant.
Golden light pressed down on the ck ghost aura and even the altar''s golden glow, purifying the power inside them again and again.
The Ghost n Sacred Paragon let out a shrill, ragged howl.
The ck ghost w was ripped apart, and golden sword energy scorched his arm too, burning line after line of charred wounds into it.
ck 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 shed, and he appeared in front of the Ghost n Sacred Paragon in an instant.
With the Dragonyer Sword in hand, he drove it hard toward the Ghost n Sacred Paragon''s chest.
The golden de carried endless force and thick purifying power, and it punched straight through the Ghost n Sacred Paragon''s chest in a single stroke.
The tip burst out through his back.
"Shhk-"
Golden immortal radiance exploded from the de and poured into the Ghost n Sacred Paragon''s body in an instant.
It kept purifying the ghost aura inside him. It kept tearing his body apart.
The Ghost n Sacred Paragon released a scream so sharp it seemed ready to split the air open.
His body started turning faint little by little. ck scales kept falling away, and ck blood kept spraying out.
His aura was fading fast too, growing weaker and weaker.
In the end, he turnedpletely 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. If
it 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 n Sacred Paragon, Jared turned, and his eyes fell on the altar.
By then, the golden light over the altar had already dimmedpletely.
The strange runes carved into the ground had lost all their light too, leaving them dull and dead.
The altar''s formation hadpletely copsed.
But Jared still didn''t stop.
He knew the Celestial Pce 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 n powerhouses and refine ghoul husks.
If this Sacred Mountain wasn''tpletely destroyed, the Celestial Pce would
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, evenrger than the one before.
It held endless might, thick purifying power, and even a trace of the power of the
Great Dao of heaven and earth.
Boom!
The golden hand seal smashed down hard onto the altar.
A heaven-shaking st rang out across the world.
Under the impact of the golden hand seal, the altar copsed in an instant, and
countless chunks of stone sted 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 pouring
over the summit of Sacred
Mountain, 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 revive
Ghost n powerhouses and refine ghoul husks,
were sted 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 copsing 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 Pce, 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 top
speed. 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 ck. Her figure was slender, her face cold and striking, and she
was also at High Immortal Realm Level Nine.
They were Lucian and Lyria, the two the Celestial Pce had sent.
They hade under orders to inspect the progress of the revival
ritual 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 their
eyes wide open.
That towering Sacred Mountain was copsing.
