Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!-Chapter 498 - 450: Retreat of Divine Spirits_1
The Zhu Gui Formation was fully activated, enveloping the middle of the field in divine light.
At this moment, a chilling wind whistled, and a sinister aura emanated from the corpse-like pale ghost, piercingly cold.
Everyone was utterly shocked!
"There really are ghosts!"
"How terrifying!"
"Thankfully, the major Sect Gates were well-prepared!"
People started to talk one after another.
Gu Changfeng, Mo Xuan, and the others, upon witnessing this, were overjoyed beyond measure!
This old ghost had indeed come, and now that it had entered the Zhu Gui Formation, there was absolutely no escape.
"I had guessed long ago that behind Mu Wanqing was an old ghost. Today, all of you will die!"
Gu Changfeng said coldly with a smirk.
Yet Mu Wanqing was even more puzzled.
What kind of ghost was this?
She and Zi Ling were both somewhat confused about the situation.
But Gu Changfeng had already shouted loudly, saying,
"Slay this ghost!"
"Activate the formation!"
In an instant, myriad divine lights interwove, and the two statues at the center of the Sacrificial Altar transformed into divine spirits that stood over a dozen zhang tall. Their divine power now furiously assailed the old ghost!
"Evil ghost, be vanquished!"
The indifferent voices of the two divine spirits resounded immediately!
However, suddenly, two green lights shot out from the eyes of the old ghost.
"Mere Wandering God embodiments daring to be rampant?"
His pale, withered hands suddenly clenched.
In that moment, the sky darkened, the divine light disappeared, and the entire region seemed to transform into a ghastly Ghost Domain due to his grasp.
Everyone was terror-stricken, and the controllers of the formation at each node spat blood, their faces pale!
The two divine spirit embodiments were shocked as well.
"No... Such powerful evil force!"
"Indomitable!"
Both divine spirit embodiments were thrown into a panic, despite lunging forward with all their might.
Yet, as the chilling wind passed by, the two statues cracked.
Boom!
The divine spirits’ statues instantly turned to dust.
Gone!
These two divine spirit embodiments were the core of the Zhu Gui Formation, and now that they were extinguished in an instant, the Zhu Gui Formation was directly finished.
"No!"
"How is this possible!"
"Both grand divine spirit embodiments and the Zhu Gui Formation can’t subdue this old ghost?"
Mo Xuan and others were all in a state of shock; was the old ghost’s power too formidable?
"Quick, beseech the upper deities, have they arrived yet?"
There were even those who cried out in despair.
"Please, upper deities, save us!"
The Green Sun Sect, Gu Changfeng, and the others were all calling out in terror.
...
At this moment.
Above the Eastern Wilderness Sky Domain, two figures walked side by side.
One person was shimmering with green patterns, while the other was clad in mysterious robes, with a gaunt face.
Both exuded an extraordinary air and were enveloped in auspicious clouds beneath their feet.
These were two divine beings!
"Green Yang Brother, this Festival of Reverence has gathered the prayers, and our cultivation levels can advance further," said the deity in the mysterious robes, smiling with anticipation.
All the believers’ prayer powers would temporarily be stored in their statues’ divine embodiments, and during the Festival of Reverence, they would come back to collect it.
"Of course, but most importantly, is the task entrusted by the ’Xun Yuan True God.’ If accomplished, both of us could even receive divine gifts and obtain proofs of divinity, entering the Divine Realm!"
Green Yang’s eyes blazed with passion.
—— They were both revered as upper deities in the Great Ruins Realm.
But that was just a title given by common cultivators to them.
They were merely Wanderer Gods!
Wanderer Gods, though having touched upon the elements of the Divine Path Domain, yet had no "proofs of divinity"!
The journey to divinity was extremely arduous. Besides their own cultivation levels, starting from the True God Realm, they also needed the acknowledgment from the cosmic Heavenly Dao!
Acknowledgment meant obtaining proofs of divinity.
And to get proofs of divinity, there were two methods.
The first was to act against the heavens, to "demand" or "seize" proofs of divinity from the cosmic Heavenly Dao – a highly dangerous route which could trigger a frightful heavenly calamity, almost certainly resulting in death to the challenger!
The second was to receive divine gifts!

Divine gifts meant that higher-level divine spirits could provide protection to lower-level ones, allowing them to evade heavenly calamities and gain proofs of divinity.
Few cultivators chose the first path unless they were utterly desperate and would attempt to defy the heavens, which usually ended in a grim fate.
And divine gifts were nearly the choice of all Wanderer Gods.
To seek out True Gods, serve them, and receive divine gifts.
However, the realms attainable through divine gifts were limited. It was said that to get proofs of divinity at certain higher realms, one needed to perform certain rituals!
These rituals were shrouded in mystery, and lower-tier cultivators hadn’t even heard of them.
"The Xun Yuan True God has decreed that we must either find the so-called ’Ghost Master’ or obtain the ’Original Dao Principle’ of the Great Ruins Realm to grant us divine gifts... both are difficult tasks!"
Mysterious Yin lamented.
"Xun Yuan" was the True God they followed.
"Indeed, the Great Ruins Realm is but a mere Star Realm; the strongest ever to emerge from ancient to modern times were at best Wanderer Gods. The emergence of ghostly beings is fraught with extreme difficulties..."
Lv Yang, the Wanderer God, helplessly spoke.
Not just anyone who wished to become a ghost could do so; only upon the fall of the powerful was there a possibility of their emergence.
The weak? Even ghosts would struggle.
In the Great Ruins Realm, I’m afraid not even a single ghost exists, let alone the so-called "Ghost Master"?
By comparison, obtaining the Original Dao Principle seems more likely...
——Within the universe, when the Original Dao Principle evolves, it can give birth to a new world.
One could say that the Original Dao Principle is the foundation of every world.
"What a pity that Yun Yang is so stubborn!"
The Xuan Yin Traveling God spoke.
Yun Yang is a Wandering God from the Zhongzhou Yun Family!
And the Yun Family, throughout the entire Great Ruins Realm, is an ancient family of divine spirits; it is said that the first divine spirit of the Great Ruins Realm came from the Yun Family.
Therefore, the Yun Family became the protector family of the Original Dao Principle.
Over the years, despite their threats and temptations, the Wandering God Yun Yang from the Yun Family has not agreed.
Furthermore, the Yun Family even formed a marital alliance with another divine spirit family, the Zhan Family, to oppose Lv Yang and Xuan Yin, causing them a great headache.
"Enough, the task bestowed by the True God is no easy matter! You and I should first absorb the incense power from this realm’s festival for venerating the gods to further perfect our Wanderer God Realm."
Green Yang spoke.
The two continued forward, riding the clouds with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived above the Three Gods Province.
"Hmm? Something’s not right!"
Suddenly, Xuan Yin’s complexion changed as he said:
"I feel... my law body has shattered!"
His expression was extremely unsightly.
As everyone knows, people’s incense is stored in their idol law bodies.
But now he felt his law body had shattered... which meant the incense power was wasted!
"Mine too... What happened?"
The expression on Green Sun God’s face changed dramatically as he said, "The ghostly aura below is so thick!"
"Could it be that ghostly beings have emerged in our realm?"
The two Wandering Gods exchanged a look, their faces grave, and immediately descended!
...
In the Three Gods Province, at the Sacrificial Altar.
The law bodies of the two divine spirits shattered directly.
The Yin Qi surged to the sky, with a menacing ghostly aura!
Seeing that terrifying old ghost, Mo Xuan and the others were now panic-stricken!
"You want to ambush me?"
"With just you, you’re qualified?"
Gui Qi’s face was full of anger, and with a grab of his ghostly claw, Gu Changfeng let out a scream and was directly snatched over and swallowed.
The crowd was even more horrified.
"Spare us, spare us please!"
"Why hasn’t the god arrived yet!"
Mo Xuan and the others had already collapsed on the ground, pale as death.
But the old ghost did not strike them again; instead, he turned his head, looking toward the crystal cage containing the Pegasus Yinling.
This was his main purpose for coming here.
He prepared to make his move.
But at this moment.
From the sky above, a sacred aura suddenly descended with a roar!
"What ghost dares to wreak havoc in the Eastern Wilderness!"
"Seeking death!"
The angry roar of two divine spirits came.
In the sky above, two divine shadows appeared.
The Wandering God Lv Yang, radiating a green light all over, made the Sky Vault tremble.
The Wandering God Xuan Yin, with a myriad of mysterious lights, was in harmony with endless Dao, sacred and supreme.
"Green Sun God!"
"Mysterious Yin God!"
"Save us!"
The people shouted as if they had seen their savior.
However, the old ghost simply lifted his sinister eyes to glance at the sky above.
"A mere Wandering God dares to strike at me?"
His eyes were filled with disdain and contempt!
Then, he opened his mouth to inhale!
With that breath, the Yin Qi surged, and space distorted!
Above in the Sky Vault, the two divine spirits who were charging fiercely now changed their expressions!
"No!"
At this moment, Green Sun God’s entire body broke out in a cold sweat; it felt as if a ghost was strangling his throat.
"My soul... is he absorbing my divine soul?!"
Xuan Yin yelled out in dismay, his body starting to spasm uncontrollably!
At the same time, both of them felt the power of their divine souls dissipating, being sucked away!
If this continued, in the blink of an eye the two Wandering Gods would likely fall outright.
"True God’s Talisman!"
Wandering God Lv Yang bellowed, suddenly crushing a Jade Talisman.
It was bestowed by the Xun Yuan True God, and now it burst forth with a dazzling divine light, instantly tearing through the void!
"Quick, escape!"
Wandering God Lv Yang and Xuan Yin, looking like fleeing dogs, hastily fled in a most undignified manner, their figures disappearing from this part of the Sky Vault.
And seeing this scene, everyone was dumbstruck.
The divine spirits... were scared away?
...
