When Meng Zhang's soul entered the Netherworld and met Shou Zheng, a senior of the Taiyi Sect, his cultivation base was still shallow, and he couldn't discern Shou Zheng's true strength.
After advancing to the Primordial Spirit stage, he recalled the details of their meeting and speculated that this senior was at least a powerful expert at the late stage of Primordial Spirit.
As a senior of the Taiyi Sect, even after becoming a Ghost Deity, Shou Zheng still cared about everything in the sect.
The once flourishing Taiyi Sect had already been destroyed, and the rebuilt Taiyi Sect faced similar calamities.
After numerous changes, everything was different.
The present Taiyi Sect and the Taiyi Sect of the past were like two different worlds.
But in the eyes of seniors like Shou Zheng, as long as the legacy of the old Taiyi Sect persisted, regardless of the changes it went through, it would still be the same Taiyi Sect.
Shou Zheng indeed did his best to help Meng Zhang. Besides assisting him in subduing the Void Cauldron tool spirit, he also taught him the secret technique to summon his own avatar.
However, he had warned Meng Zhang that he had enemies in the Netherworld too. To avoid revealing weaknesses in front of his enemies and not to exhaust too much power, the strength imbued in the avatar was limited.
Summoning the avatar of the Ghost Deity Shou Zheng required a large number of precious offerings, which also served as the source of power for the avatar to act in the mortal world.
Since obtaining this secret technique, Meng Zhang had been collecting the required offerings through the power of the Taiyi Sect.
Although he had long collected all the offerings needed, he had never used this secret technique to summon Shou Zheng's avatar because Shou Zheng had advised him not to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.
Now facing two formidable enemies, with his condition not being great, and the power accumulated in his Natal Spiritual Tool Yin Yang Spirit Gourd had been exhausted long ago, Meng Zhang could not think of any other way to turn the tables except summoning the avatar of the Ghost Deity Shou Zheng.
First, Meng Zhang used the Divine Ability "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Transformation" to create a suitable external environment for the Ghost Deity. Then he summoned Shou Zheng's avatar as his last resort.
As soon as the avatar appeared, its extraordinary aura indeed drew the attention of the enemies.
Although the Ghost Deity from the Netherworld would be suppressed by the rules of the mortal world, Meng Zhang had already used the Divine Ability "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Transformation" to alleviate this suppression as much as possible.
This Ghost Deity avatar not only looked terrifying, but it also possessed the strength of the initial stage of the Primordial Spirit.
Meng Zhang knew that the Ghost Deity avatar should not stay in the mortal world for too long, and he had to finish the battle quickly.
Under Meng Zhang's command, the Ghost Deity avatar actively engaged Wen Dong True Monarch, using various means to entangle him tightly.
Meng Zhang flew towards the weaker Marshal Wang, intending to defeat him first.
Meng Zhang's intentions were not hidden from the two opponents, and they both sneered disdainfully.
There were no weaklings among the two opponents, and neither of them was easy to deal with. Even if Meng Zhang summoned an ally, his overall strength would still be at a disadvantage.
Indeed, despite Meng Zhang using the Yin Yang Grand Dao and unleashing various Divine Abilities, he could only fight Marshal Wang on equal grounds.
As for the Ghost Deity avatar that was summoned to battle Wen Dong True Monarch, it quickly fell into a disadvantaged position after a short while, struggling to hold its ground.
On the ground, the cultivators from the Taiyi Sect and the Hanhai Dao League were barely sustaining themselves with the help of the Third Rank Mountain-guarding Great Formation, but the immense pressure had caused heavy casualties, making it extremely difficult for them to hold on.
The neighboring sects of the Taiyi Sect were also embroiled in intense battles. Not only could they not spare any manpower to support others, but they were also struggling to protect themselves.
Meng Zhang's cultivation base was not weaker than Marshal Wang, and his Dao Techniques and Divine Abilities were formidable, but he fell slightly short in terms of magic tools.
The Fourth Rank magic tool, Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe, that he wore had suffered heavy damage in the previous battle. Although he had been trying to repair it, there wasn't enough time, and it had not fully recovered yet.
Meng Zhang had never been able to overcome Marshal Wang, and the Ghost Deity avatar couldn't stay in the mortal world for too long.
Continuing to delay would only become increasingly disadvantageous for Meng Zhang.
Of course, Meng Zhang knew this very well and had already made plans in his mind.
In the sky, the four of them flew around, clashing and separating from time to time, and their battle circles occasionally intersected.
When the battle circles of the four intersected again, Meng Zhang and the Ghost Deity avatar suddenly switched positions, exchanging opponents.
Wen Dong True Monarch and Marshal Wang didn't pay much attention to it. Such situations were common in battles, and even if the opponent changed, could it erase the difference in strength?
However, after the exchange, this time the situation was completely different.
Although the Ghost Deity avatar only had the cultivation base of the initial stage of the Primordial Spirit, it possessed Shou Zheng's combat consciousness, and its fighting strength was not necessarily inferior to that of a mid-stage Primordial Spirit cultivator.
When fighting against Wen Dong True Monarch just now, the Ghost Deity avatar deliberately concealed its true abilities.
However, when facing Marshal Wang, it immediately unleashed all its power and launched a fierce attack.
Marshal Wang, who was somewhat negligent, was immediately suppressed by the Ghost Deity avatar.
Meng Zhang faced Wen Dong True Monarch, and even though he was at a slight disadvantage, he had no problem entangling his opponent.
Perhaps knowing that the time for dissipation was not far off, the Ghost Deity wisp of soul became unusually frantic, and its attacks became even more fierce.
Wen Dong True Monarch and Marshal Wang could never have imagined that they would end up in such a situation due to a momentary carelessness.
Wen Dong True Monarch tried to break free from Meng Zhang's entanglement and rush to support Marshal Wang.
But at this moment, Meng Zhang was like a piece of sticky toffee, making it impossible for Wen Dong True Monarch to get rid of him no matter what.
Wen Dong True Monarch, who had actively volunteered to join the battle with Marshal Wang, couldn't just watch as Marshal Wang was heavily injured or even killed right in front of him.
Anxious, he didn't hesitate to burn his Primordial Spirit and forcibly broke through Meng Zhang's interception, rushing to the area where the battle was taking place to help Marshal Wang.
The Ghost Deity avatar, which had been fiercely attacking Marshal Wang, suddenly revealed a mysterious smile on its face. Then its entire body suddenly exploded, turning into dark green and black currents of energy, instantly engulfing both Marshal Wang and Wen Dong True Monarch.
After being summoned to the mortal world, Shou Zheng's Ghost Deity avatar was completely obedient to Meng Zhang.
Although ordering the avatar to self-destruct would undoubtedly cause some harm to Shou Zheng's main body in the Netherworld, it was the only method Meng Zhang could come up with to defeat his enemies.
Taking advantage of both opponents being trapped by the self-destructing power of the Ghost Deity, Meng Zhang seized the opportunity and killed his way in.
The self-destructing power of the Ghost Deity had an extremely strong killing effect and could contaminate a person's Primordial Spirit.
Marshal Wang's physical body was entangled by the dark green and black currents, unable to dodge, and was directly cut into two by Meng Zhang's Great Divine Ability "Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword."
As soon as his Primordial Spirit escaped, it came into contact with a little bit of the dark green and black energy, causing him to scream in agony.
Wen Dong True Monarch, despite being heavily injured, managed to break free from the entanglement and protected Marshal Wang's Primordial Spirit as he escaped.
Meng Zhang pursued for a while, but seeing that he couldn't catch up and eliminate them completely, he reluctantly returned and collected Marshal Wang's physical body and the items he left behind.
