Ch. 1663 - Ghost Sovereign Nether-Prime, Cursed Deep Forest

"Senior, this mist is too heavy. It's easy to lose direction. How about we rest for tonight?" the old man asked tentatively.

Xu Zimo looked around.

This mist was strange.

Even he couldn't dispel it, so he could only nod.

He waved his large hand, and in this Five Ghost Forest, several large trees immediately crashed to the ground.

Flames danced in his palm.

In an instant, a campfire appeared.

Seeing this scene, the old man's expression changed slightly.

He hurriedly reminded, "Senior, fire cannot be seen within this Five Ghost Forest."

"Why?" Xu Zimo asked.

"The yin energy here is extremely heavy, and ghost creatures run rampant. If there are flames, I'm afraid it will attract the Ghost Sovereign," the old man said.

"Are they very strong?" Xu Zimo asked.

"Every Ghost Sovereign is at the Saint Sovereign level. Never mind the Five Ghost Forest, even in the outside world, they are invincible existences," the old man explained.

"No problem," Xu Zimo waved his hand.

Saint Sovereign?

Mere ants.

Through condensing the Absolute Annihilation Dao Fruit, Xu Zimo had preliminarily glimpsed and sensed the power of the Infinite Dao realm.

It was no exaggeration to say that an Infinite Dao could casually erase a Saint Sovereign.

Just like before, Xu Zimo considered himself invincible among Saint Sovereigns.

But when facing Infinite Dao level cultivators, he still had no power to resist whatsoever.

He even had to rely on the rules within the God World to barely dodge half a move by luck.

This was enough to imagine how unfathomable the Infinite Dao was.

………

Hearing Xu Zimo's words, the old man didn't know what else to say.

The lively flames danced.

Beginning to dispel the surrounding mist bit by bit.

The crackling sound of burning firewood rang out.

In this silent darkness, it seemed particularly jarring.

The old man and the woman called Luo Mingyue came forward together.

This woman should have no cultivation.

She carefully stayed to one side, taking out several dry cakes from a handkerchief in her sleeve and placing them on the fire to toast.

"When we were fleeing, we lost all our luggage. In this Five Ghost Forest, there are only ghost creatures, not even a single demon beast. Otherwise, why would the young miss be so down and out?" the old man sighed.

"It doesn't matter," Luo Mingyue smiled and shook her head.

"I've never considered myself any sort of young miss. Moreover, mother said that only by eating bitterness can one become superior to others."

The dry cakes were quickly toasted crispy.

The woman handed over a piece of dry cake, hesitating slightly.

She held it out before Xu Zimo.

"Young master, would you like some?"

"Finish eating and sleep early," Xu Zimo waved his hand.

"Tonight, no matter what sounds you hear, don't come out."

"Thank you, young master," Luo Mingyue hurriedly thanked him.

After eating the dry cakes, fortunately they had a water flask with them.

She then returned to the carriage to rest.

As for the old man, he both healed his injuries and guarded the surroundings.

In the daytime battle with Fierce One, he had ultimately still been injured.

Of course, if Xu Zimo hadn't intervened, he probably wouldn't have just been injured, he would likely have lost his life here.

………

Night, dark and profound, quiet and terrifying.

As if there were a pair of invisible claws scratching through the void.

Making shadows involuntarily arise in one's heart.

A woman's weak crying voice rang out not far away.

The old man instantly opened his eyes.

A flash of brilliant light swept by.

His vision pierced through the darkness, seeing a white figure, blurry in the distance.

It seemed to be a woman with a graceful figure.

For some unknown reason, the old man's heart seemed bewitched, and he actually stood up, wanting to walk over step by step.

"Sit down and sleep," a voice suddenly exploded in his eardrums like thunder.

The old man gave a start.

His face was pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"What just... happened to me?"

"Close your eyes. Don't look at any sounds you hear," Xu Zimo said indifferently.

"If there's a next time, I won't save you."

The old man froze, then hurriedly sat in meditation to stabilize his mind.

He knew that just now his mind must have lost control.

You must know, although he had only just entered the Grand Emperor realm, he was still a Grand Emperor!

To actually have his mind seduced, this was enough to imagine the opponent's power.

A Ghost Sovereign?

The old man didn't dare to guess.

He only felt that tonight's temperature was somewhat cold.

It seemed that the sound of footsteps rang out.

These footsteps were very jarring, as if someone were dragging shoes while walking forward.

The old man paid no attention.

He knew that with Xu Zimo present, if even Xu Zimo couldn't handle it, his resistance would also be a dead end.

………

"This weather is so cold. Can this old man come over to borrow some fire?"

Xu Zimo opened his eyes. He saw an old man with a hunched body slowly walking over.

The old man was smiling.

But his smile gave people an extremely creepy feeling.

"What should I call you?" Xu Zimo asked.

"Call me Nether-Prime," the old man replied.

"Do you have the final say in this deep forest?" Xu Zimo asked.

"This old man's words still carry some weight," the old man smiled.

"That's perfect. We want to leave this Five Ghost Forest. I'm too lazy to kill some ants. You can conveniently clear the road for me," Xu Zimo said.

Hearing these words, the old man's eyes narrowed.

He laughed eerily, "This young master's tone is truly quite large."

Xu Zimo glanced at him.

Invisibly, a suppressing force permeated the air.

"Not good," the old man's expression changed slightly.

As if he sensed something.

His seemingly aged body burst forth with an unimaginable power.

Sounds came from within his body.

The old man's figure moved rapidly, like a black bolt of lightning, trying to flee into the distance.

Xu Zimo let out a heavy cold snort.

This sound was like thunder descending from heaven, with majestic heavenly might pressing down.

An invisible blade light descended from the sky.

Directly falling upon the old man.

A scream rang out, and the black mist on the old man's body faded considerably.

The blade light roared, pressing the old man's figure to the ground, unable to move.

"You... who are you?"

The old man asked in shock.

Originally, in his perception, Xu Zimo's might was not apparent, completely ordinary.

Who would have thought that with just a casual move,

That blade light actually broke through his dense ghost mist, suppressing him without any ability to resist.

This kind of existence was probably not an ordinary Saint Sovereign.

"What do you think of my proposal just now?"

Xu Zimo didn't answer his question but asked in return.

"What if I don't agree?" Nether-Prime asked.

"Do you think a useless insect like you still has meaning in living?" Xu Zimo asked.

"Even if you kill me, you still won't be able to leave this Five Ghost Forest," the old man laughed eerily.

"This place has long been cursed. Those who come and go either get killed or assimilated. Even if you're an invincible Saint Sovereign, you can't change anything."

"Enough yapping." Before his words were finished, Xu Zimo's large foot had already stomped down.

Directly flattening his head.

This old man's corpse twisted and actually transformed into a black mist trying to escape.

How could Xu Zimo let it have its way?

The flames in his hand burned, directly rising to burn the sky.

Covering this entire area of heaven and earth.
