Chapter 4583: Thousand Ants Devour the Soul, Skeleton Tower
s apparently not included in this list. 。“Since I can't be a disciple who makes money presents, I might as well rest for two days and go to the Hall of Miscellaneous Tasks to see if there are any suit...But in a short while, the two corpses before them still looked intact and stood there, only their souls had been completely devoured by the swarm of ants. Their bodies were merely external shells standing still, indistinguishable from ordinary stones.
“What a powerful Thousand Ant Devouring Soul!” A raspy voice echoed as a black-robed old crone, leaning on a cane, slowly approached from afar.
The old woman's head was adorned with a black hat. Only a faint phantom of a snake's head was there, resembling a serpent with an unusually chilling gaze that felt particularly eerie.
The head of the serpent, a mere shadow, in the old woman’s hand, her snake staff only lightly touched the ground. A slight breeze swept past, and the two decaying corpses vanished into nothingness.
“Those who are incompetent dare to covet treasures and waste their lives in this world. However, the two of you have decent strength. Entering this Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss is not easy. Before us, many others have probably entered it already. Let's join forces and enter the abyss first, then when we find the Xuan Yao Ghost Pond, we'll see the situation and decide how to divide the Xuan Yao Yin Liquid.”
The old woman continued, "The python's head was a phantom.
"
"Alright." Su Qing nodded in response. This phantom shadow of the python-headed elder gave off an extremely dangerous feeling. As long as the other party didn't provoke her and Luo Qian, Su Qing naturally wouldn't start a conflict too early. Just relying on the two of them to open the passage into the Wan Xuan Ghost Pool would take quite a bit of effort.
“And one more from me.” A swirl of azure and black, a cloud of ice and fire drifted over, and in an instant, it transformed into a towering figure, ten feet tall, with a shaved head and clad in blue-black armor. However, even with Su Qing and Luo Qian’s keen eyesight, they could easily see that the other party was merely a manifestation before their eyes; it had no real substance.
“Yun Xiao, you actually came. Don't you think it's good to have this Binghuo Ghost Cloud as your body All your ghost magic is built upon this ghost cloud. Your strength surpasses that of your former self. If you really abandon this body, I'm afraid it will be difficult to step into the Jinque Ghost Realm again!” The old woman with a snake head phantom exclaimed.
“This is my own business, you old hag don't need to interfere.” The bald man Yunxiao snorted, not listening to the other person at all, “You're just afraid that I'll snatch the Xuan Yao Ming Liquid when the time comes, why go through so much trouble”
“Yunxiao, you misunderstand me. Before I see the Xuan Yao Ghost Liquid, I won’t stop anyone.” The old woman with a python head and a cold gaze flickered her eyes, let out a chilly smile, and didn’t take Yunxiao's somewhat rude tone to heart.
"Well then, let's not waste any more time. Let's figure out how to get in first. You guys shouldn't just stand around either, lend a hand." Yunxiao had a fiery and impetuous personality. He directly swung his fist, smashing down with immense force. In an instant, the smooth surface of the Wanxuan Ghost Pond rippled outwards in layers.
Luo Qian stretched out his hand and clapped it. A purple lightning bolt shot into the ripples, and the entire surface of the water shook more violently in a deafening explosion.
A shadowy serpent head emerged from the old crone's hand as she flung it. Her snake staff, now spinning rapidly, slammed down, creating numerous water columns. These jets interlaced in mid-air, forming a path like countless mirrors. Within each mirror, ghostly wails echoed, and hands repeatedly reached out, seeming to drag everything within reach into the mirrored depths.
“Next, we'll see the queen ant.” The phantom python elder woman looked at Su Qing. “The Soul-Devouring Path, no one present can surpass the queen ant's right.”

“Let’s go together.” Su Qing’s voice was calm, she took a step forward, and countless illusory figures of Void-Eating Ants spread out like mercury under her feet, extending into the eerie passage.
Those outstretched arms, after being bitten by the void ants, cried out in pain and quickly retracted.
"To have the Void Devouring Ant's soul refined into a tangible Soul Ant, it must have consumed an entire ant colony," Yun Xiao remarked with awe, his gaze towards Su Qing now laced with a hint of apprehension. "Using their entire colony as a stepping stone for her own ascension... The Queen is indeed ruthless."
As a queen ant, I naturally have the power to control the life and death of any Void Eater Ant." Su Qing's expression was calm. In fact, her ability to cultivate to this level was largely due to listening to the almost inexhaustible Yin Ming ghost energy in the Ghost Spring.
Even so, cultivating this Ghost Ant Soul Devourer still nearly drained her life force. However, all the effort was worthwhile. Cultivating this Ghost Ant Soul Devourer, Su Qing's attacks directly targeted the soul, domineering and unparalleled. Originally, her cultivation level was significantly lower than Luo Qian's, but now she had caught up and even walked out on her own unique path of cultivation.
After gaining a deeper understanding of the soul, Su Qing yearned for a new physical body, to reconstruct her flesh. Deep down, Su Qing had always been a traditional human, like Luo Qian and Lu Xiaoxiao. Even though she feared being trapped in the ghost realm for so many years, that unwavering belief within her never wavered.
Su Qing needed a new body to house her soul and verify the path of her soul that she had deduced. It was both to make up for the regret she had always felt in her heart and a part of her cultivation journey.
Luo Qian stretched out his sleeve and waved it. The wandering lightning bolts danced like dragons and snakes, relieving some of Su Qing's pressure.
Yun Xiao and the old woman who was a phantom of a serpent's head exchanged glances. They were both renowned figures, having roamed the ghostly realm for many years. As for Luo Qian of Goushi Yinshan, Su Qing naturally had heard of him. The endless number of Shekong Ghost Ants deterred most fellow ghosts from visiting. However, after witnessing their prowess firsthand, they found that the two were even more formidable than rumors suggested.

The swarm of Void Devourer Ants could not enter, and remained at the edge of the Myriad Ghosts Lake. The surging ant horde attacked everything around them.
Su Qing herself was the main hive, and at this time, she separated from most of the ant colony. As the main hive, she naturally suffered some impact. During her journey, Su Qing gradually transformed into an ant hive, but her appearance still retained a human form. However, in Luo Qian, Yun Xiao, and the phantom of the old woman with a snake head's eyes, this transformed appearance was meaningless.
After passing through the channel, gray-white skeletal energy gathered and roared, forming a gigantic skull tower that stretched before everyone.
"The Wanxuan Skull Tower, rumored to have the Xuan Yao Ghost Pool on its highest level. It's unknown who crafted this tower, existing in the Ghost Realm for countless ages. Legend has it that it was built upon the bones of countless climbers who attempted to scale it, creating the current skeletal structure. Such mystical prowess is truly something to aspire to," the old woman with the serpent-head phantom muttered in admiration.
The heavy bone gate of Karka... thrummed open. A ghastly chill swept out from within, howling through the air.
“If one cannot regain their physical body, then for one’s bones to be integrated into this tower of skulls is not a bad form of liberation.” Su Qing let out a soft sigh. While Yun Zhao and the phantom old woman with the python head were still hesitant, she had already stepped inside. Luo Qian followed at a leisurely pace, keeping up with Su Qing's steps.
Inside the tower, the surroundings changed again. Cold water constantly dripped from the top of your head.
