Chen Xuan let out a stifled grunt as a wave of intense pain surged through his body. The massive spikes embedded in his chest erupted, sending surges of Yin energy rampaging through his internal organs. The Nine Nether Sacred Body automatically activated its protective power, helping Chen Xuan neutralize and absorb these volatile energies. Seizing the moment when the spikes' power waned, Chen Xuan swung his sword with all his might, severing them.
Before he could catch his breath, more than a dozen identical spikes, crackling with potent Yin energy, burst from the giant ghost’s shoulders, aiming directly for his vitals. Gritting his teeth against the pain, Chen Xuan retreated while swinging the Xuanyuan Sword to cast defensive light. He simultaneously summoned the Evil Martial Sovereign, the Immortal Sword Domain, the Netherfire Monarch, and the Fire Yaksha to deflect the pursuit. Amidst a cacophony of collisions, Chen Xuan was sent flying again, though this time, he managed to avoid being pierced by any of the spikes. The Yin energy within the dozen or so spikes rapidly dissipated, and he cut them down once more.
"I never imagined this ghost could still attack you; it must be the work of the Empress of the Netherworld’s lingering obsession!" Yin Rumei, seeing Chen Xuan emerge unscathed and demonstrating remarkable strength, let out a sigh of relief.
