"It seems that the so-called Ancient Worm isn’t just capable of controlling the body; it can even take control of one’s mind..." Shen Yuan coldly observed the familiar face in front of him.

If it weren’t Shen San himself, it would have been impossible for anyone to pay attention to Shen Yuan’s arrival and wait here in advance, which means he calculated that I would come!

At this moment, Shen San, facing Second Master Shen, revealed his true face. His eyes were pitch black like ink, emitting an icy and terrifying aura that even Second Master Shen, who frequently dealt with the Evil Spirit Forbidden Art, found chilling and uncomfortable.

"I knew that once the Great Formation was established, you would surely find a way to come in. Amongst all the Shen brothers, you were said to be the most unfeeling and indifferent, but in reality, I know that you care the most about your brothers’ lives. For our sake... you would come as well."

"Disgusting creature..." Second Master Shen let out a derisive laugh: "Don’t speak to me using my little brother’s tone."

As soon as his words fell, the ground was shrouded in black mist. Out of nowhere, a massive arm burst out from beneath the ground and reached for Shen San’s position.

"When you become like me, you won’t mind anymore..."

Shen San’s smile remained gentle, but his aura turned even colder. His body transformed into countless droplets of water, instantaneously morphing into thousands of copies, dodging the huge Ghost King Arm!

In that instant, a massive fog Formation formed around Shen, clearly intending to capture Second Master Shen alive.

And the opponent wasn’t overconfident; as the water fog Formation took shape, the originally white mist instantly turned blood-red.

A terrifying cold yin energy transformed into countless threads that firmly bound the gigantic arm.

In just a breath’s time, the immense Ghost King Arm was instantly shattered into countless pieces!

Second Master Shen was shocked!

Although the Ghost King Arm appeared to be a gigantic living limb, it was actually formed from energy. This was the first time he had heard it could be severed...

But the reality was as such. The threads formed from the water mist were like countless extremely sharp blades that indeed sliced the Ghost King Arm into numerous fragments. In that moment, he even felt that his own Spiritual Power had been completely severed and lost all connection to him!

What kind of Technique is this?

Second Master Shen continuously stepped back. He was very clear that this was definitely not Shen San’s own ability. It seemed that it was a method used by the creature that controlled Shen San!

"There’s no point struggling, Second Brother..." Shen San stepped closer, his gaze at the other still carrying a hint of mockery.

"You can’t win against me. I understand you like the back of my hand, while you know nothing about me. Moreover, having already been injured when passing through the Flaming Sun Array, you don’t stand a chance."

Second Master Shen: "......"

"Surrender, Second Brother. If you’re willing to join us, the Shen family will still hold the position of Hell Ruler, and your status won’t change in the slightest. Whatever Chen Qing can give, my master can too."

"Master?" Second Master Shen sneered: "You disgusting worm, do you not know that we... are from your so-called master’s direct bloodline?"

"It seems you know quite a bit..." Shen San paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "The direct bloodline, indeed.

You all are the direct descendants of our lord, so why stand against our master?

With your noble lineage and talents, as long as you submit to our master, your future achievements will be far beyond your imagination. "

"Far beyond imagination? Hmph... Do you, as a monster, even understand what imagination is?"

"It’s truly ironic..."

Second Master Shen closed his eyes, and his skin visibly cracked open, with layers of black qi seeping out from the cracks. An incredibly terrifying pressure spread out from Second Master Shen’s body, along with nearly black flames that dispersed in all directions.

Seeing this scene, the Ancient Worm within Shen San, which possessed memories from ancient times, almost instantly recognized Second Master Shen’s power.

This is a Forbidden Technique!

The techniques of the Shen Family, whether it be the Divine Fire Technique of the thirteenth or Old San’s Mystic Water Technique, or even Second Master Shen’s Ghost King Arm, are actually all forbidden arts passed down from our ancestors.

These techniques, to a greater or lesser extent, are all connected to the great Dao of this world, among which the Ghost King Arm is the most dangerous.

Second Master Shen’s technique does not draw on the Ghost Kings from the current Path of Yin Yang but from the true Ghost Kings sealed deep within the cycle of reincarnation.

"Quite interesting..." Shen San’s pitch-black eyes narrowed into a slit. The Ghost King Arm is, in fact, an incomplete technique. Among the members of the Shen Family from generations past, only Second Master Shen has ever managed to master it, and not only did he master the incomplete technique, but he also managed to cultivate the Ghost King’s true form from it!

At this moment, behind Second Master Shen, a massive and murky black figure flickered in and out of visibility, appearing to be a manifestation of a true form.

Although it was so indistinct as to be nearly invisible, the astonishing aura it emitted and the supreme authority over life and death contained within its eyes made her instantly recognize it as an entity that countless Venerables from the depths of the Path of Yin Yang sought after but dared not to easily meddle with—the original Ghost King from ancient times!

"But what a pity, you are too young..." Shen San advanced step by step, black frost condensing on the ground with each step he took, the surrounding space turned black as if it was being frozen—air, light... even time seemed to freeze in this black frost!

"If you had lived for ten thousand more years, perhaps you might have really been able to use the Ghost King’s true form. By that time, you could have had a share in the fortune of all the Venerables under heaven. Indeed... the talents of the Human Race in this world are extraordinary."

Second Master Shen’s face darkened. He had already invested all his power of causality, plus the Through-Essence Pearl given by the Dragon King.

His condition was unprecedentedly good at this moment, and even without the Power of Hell Ruler, he felt as though he was infinitely close to King Level.

However, in front of this person, he felt he had no chance!

Not even a chance to break free.

Is this really the end?

Just as despair set in, suddenly a blue light soared into the sky, followed by a Dragon’s Chant!

Shen San’s pupils contracted, and he turned sharply to see countless layers of space folding upon themselves behind him, and the whole surrounding space began to be replaced.

An extremely sophisticated Spatial Art, with proficient mastery, and the strength of the newcomer is no small matter, at a level just below King Level!

"Azure Dragon Sorcery?"

Shen San frowned, looking at the space being replaced around him, and a flicker of doubt crossed his eyes.

He had long received information about Chen Ying from Shen San, so after taking control of him, he secretly set up a Barrier around the place where Chen Ying was in seclusion, fearing to disturb her. Why had she emerged so soon?

And why was there not even a reaction from the barrier he had laid?

"Well done!" Second Master Shen’s spirits lifted, as he fully unleashed his Spiritual Power. The massive true form behind him abruptly opened its eyes, one black and one white, as if they encompassed the entire world and its cycles of reincarnation!

Old San really did not let him down!

He knew it! Even if Old San was under this woman’s control, he wouldn’t fail to act. Among the Shen Family brothers, Old San and Old Qi were the most reliable; that was the elder brother’s assessment from back then.

"King Level?"

Shen San looked up at Chen Ying, his face filled with disbelief. How old was this girl? How did she differ from the reports?
