The immense pressure and eerie aura made Hu Madou's breathing slightly labored. As he looked up, his heart was filled with surprise.

Truly, that thing was born too strange.

Earlier, it shrank onto the Dragon Throne, and Hu Ma could only see a vague humanoid figure, but now upon closer inspection, its massive body was indescribable.

Yet it wore an exquisitely detailed Dragon Robe, its features and body vaguely presenting a dragon-like appearance. However, the dragon form was covered with various bloated and bizarre tentacles, writhing and swaying in the grand hall, extremely strange.

The dragon form was the transformation of the Emperor Ghost after death, and the multitude of tentacles was due to their deep influence by Tai Sui.

At this point, it had already become part of Tai Sui.

But despite the strangeness, it was equally terrifying. The gigantic body reached out, almost crushing the Nether Palace, resembling facing dark clouds for Hu Ma.

All differences were vividly displayed at the moment of this creature atop the Dragon Throne leaning forward.

The gap was too great.

Hu Ma and this Emperor Ghost, in terms of realm, cultivation, fate, Purple Qi, were not on the same level.

Even if Hu Ma brought about the human world's calamity, theoretically inflicting harm on this creature, but it was as if an ox against a wasp.

He and this Emperor Ghost were already in a subtle situation.

In the human world, if Hu Ma unleashed his ten columns of cultivation, there might not be an inability to confront this creature head-on, but after all, this is the Nether Palace, Hu Ma cannot introduce all his cultivation here.

In fact, he deliberately divided it, leaving nine columns of cultivation in the human world, bringing only one column into the Nether Palace, guarding against being overwhelmed and trapped here.

Even if he died in this Nether Palace, those nine columns of cultivation remained in the human world, not delaying the Luotian Festival events.

However, how could one column of cultivation withstand the might of this Emperor Ghost?

If treating this dream as the junction of yin and yang, then closer to the human world, Hu Ma's power becomes stronger.

Closer to the Nether Palace, the power of the opposing force strengthens.

Yet the other party is desperately trying to force into the human world, while Hu Ma is blocking him, this exchange increasing the gap.

"Am I to be bullied by you in my dream now?"

Facing this creature, Hu Ma wasn't horrified. With a sudden swipe of the Emperor's Great Saber in his hand, employing a blocking technique, the rolling killing intent on the blade was enough to make even that Emperor Ghost retreat slightly to avoid its edge.

As Hu Ma seized the opportunity to step back, suddenly stamping his foot, he shouted grimly: "I am the Master of Zhensui Mansion, Hu Ma, Meng Family's Ancestor, quickly come to the front of the formation and assist me in repelling the enemy!"

Stomping, calling the name, he was indeed summoning a deity.

The first time summoning requires strict adherence to ritual rules; having summoned once, this time it was simple.

After that Emperor Ghost retreated, it immediately stretched out something that was neither hand nor claw fiercely towards Hu Ma's face, accompanied by a swirling yin wind, seemingly capable of obscuring the Divine Soul and freezing the body.

But facing this claw, behind Hu Ma appeared suddenly a tall, eerie figure, wearing a gray, worn-out ceremonial robe, immensely heavy, grabbing that claw.

The endless tentacles and immense strength of the Emperor Ghost were unexpectedly solidly stopped by this figure.

Such a scene was unexpected, even the Emperor Ghost was furious, shouting angrily:

"The child of a petty official dares to secretly glimpse the grace of God?"

"..."

Douyi regards Tai Sui as divine, and the Meng Family Ancestor is the embodiment of one of Tai Sui's tentacles, belonging to the divine domain.

Emperor Ghost, though unafraid, cannot accept that a subordinate can also touch upon Tai Sui's usurpative behavior.

Not only was he extremely angry for a moment, he became even fiercer, crushing towards Hu Ma, even his tentacles attempting to entwine around the Meng Family Ancestor.

Seemingly aiming to pull the Meng Family Ancestor into his camp through this method.

"Not good."

During this process, Hu Ma continually watched.

It was his first time dealing with the Nether Palace; he fought when necessary, cursed when needed, but his heart remained cautious.

No one knows what peculiarities might exist in the Nether Palace besides fate and Purple Qi.

Thus, upon seeing the strange behavior of the Emperor Ghost, he immediately did not hold back, stepping repeatedly in peculiar positions underfoot.

This method precisely derived from the Ghost Walking Sect's arrangement of stars and stepping on the stars, originally with grand divine might breaking evil, but modified by the Meng Family, it became strangely awkward, inexplicably producing a sinister and twisted feeling.

Using this method, precisely to restrain the Meng Family Ancestor.

Negative Spirit is the easiest skill under heaven to learn; as long as the body is sturdy and willing, one can learn.

But undeniably, the danger of this sect is extremely high.

If the entity summoned refuses to leave after completing tasks, what then?

Thus, although Negative Spirit practitioners are always reverent towards what they carry, they must also secretly master a method of sending off spirits.

Though other people are manageable, Meng Family carries their own ancestor, how can this be dismissed?

Forcibly sending off their own ancestor sounds unpleasant, not to mention if the Meng Family Ancestor becomes displeased, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, outwardly, the Meng Family only has methods to summon and serve the ancestor, whether to summon or send off, a respectful bow suffices.

But secretly, the Meng Family has been researching ways to forcibly send him off, even restraining this ancestor, and knowing the Hu Family well, they took from the Ghost Walking Sect this tactic of stepping Gang and fighting.
