Under Xiao Chen's meticulous cultivation, the originally weak strands of Primordial Energy became increasingly denser. As they swam about, the force they carried grew stronger.
After Xiao Chen finished cultivating the Primordial Energy, he immediately took out an Essence Stone and started to absorb the Spiritual Energy in it without any fear.
The ten strands of Primordial Energy were like babies waiting to be fed, and the Heavenly Laws were the best food.
Right now, Xiao Chen no longer faced any bottlenecks. He was no longer in the predicament of having a large number of resources but being stuck at the bottleneck of the Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor, unable to use them.
Now, he only feared having too few resources, not having too many.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. However, when Xiao Chen ended his cultivation, the ten strands of purple Primordial Energy had clearly deepened.
There was still one more day before they had to depart. Hence, Xiao Chen did not rush to the Distant Sea Dragon Grave. Instead, he searched through the Universe Ring before taking out the Cycle Banner.
He had not used this Secret Treasure for a long time already. This time, it was time to refine it and turn it into a trump card for his fight with Emperor Wu.
Five of the Cycle Banner's thrones had already been refined into Astral Pearls: the Massacre Throne, the Death Throne, the Ruin Throne, the Grief Throne, and the Despair Throne. Only the Pain Throne and the Destruction Throne remained.
As for the news of the last two thrones, Xiao Chen had spent a lot of money to get the Kunlun Realm's intelligence department to help him search for them.
Xiao Chen had also asked many of his good friends for help. However, there had been no news. In the end, the destruction and pain of the two thrones seemed to have vanished without a trace; there were no traces at all.
Xiao Chen could not rush such a thing. Who knew, there might not be any news at all. Then, when the opportunity arrived, he might accidentally find news of the thrones.
Not to mention the news of the last two thrones, the Cycle Banner, which already had five thrones, possessed extraordinary might.
However, Xiao Chen did not use any Secret Treasures. As a bladesman, he trusted the saber in his hand and his own strength more.
Xiao Chen did not spend any time refining the Cycle Banner a second time.
Right now, Xiao Chen had no choice but to refine it. He did not know what dangers he would run into in the Distant Sea Dragon Grave. One more trump card was one more chance of survival.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen put away the Cycle Banner and walked out of the cultivation room. Then, he flew away from the island where a large number of cultivators gathered and found a deserted island on the surface of the sea.
Refining the Cycle Banner would definitely cause a huge commotion. If they did not find a quiet place, it would be inconvenient to do so.
The deserted island beneath their feet was barren, except for oddly shaped rocks and barren hills. Looking up at the starry sky in the dark night, it was vast and serene.
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and landed at the peak of the desolate mountain. With a thought, the Cycle Banner appeared in his hand. Then, he swung the banner.
The scarlet banner unfurled, and the seven Astral Pearls on it glistened brightly. Instantly, countless starlight descended from the sky.
Like a meteor shower, the deserted island suddenly became dreamy.
The color of the Astral Pearls infused with the five thrones on the banner was even denser and more piercing.
Even the pure black of the Death Astral Pearl was eye-catching and piercing, looking very strange.
Actually, the Cycle Banner in Xiao Chen's hand had already surpassed the category of Astral Banners long ago. However, when he infused the thrones into it, it changed.
However, the roots were still there. If Xiao Chen wanted to refine it, he would need a large amount of resources.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen had just obtained the treasures that the Thunder King left behind and did not lack resources. Xiao Chen intended to melt down an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure and infuse the resources obtained from its decomposition into the Cycle Banner.
Xiao Chen had only one goal: to forge the Cycle Banner into a pseudo Emperor Grade Secret Treasure.
Why did he add the word "pseudo"? It was because he could not bring out the full might of a true Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. Without Emperor Wu's golden body, he would not be able to endure the pressure that an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure brought to his body.
The pseudo Emperor Grade Secret Treasure that Xiao Chen wanted to refine would allow him to move freely and bring out one hundred percent of its might. Furthermore, its grade far surpassed that of a peak King Grade Secret Treasure.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chen could only describe the newly refined Cycle Banner as a pseudo Emperor Grade Secret Treasure.
Among the treasures that the Thunder King left behind was a set of sabers, the Seven Deadly Sins. Every one of them was a Divine Weapon. Naturally, Xiao Chen could not bear to melt them down.
Aside from these, there were four Emperor Grade Secret Treasures. After lending one to Su Tianyun, he still had three left.
Emperor Grade Secret Treasures were very rare. Normally, the Nine Ranks of the Great Families would only have one Emperor Grade Secret Treasure passed down from generation to generation. Now, Xiao Chen had three. If word of this got out, everyone would die of envy. A large group of Emperor Wu Secret Treasures.
If these people knew that Xiao Chen was vexed over which Emperor Grade Secret Treasure to melt, they would probably feel like dying.
"I'll take this one, the Profound Water Treasure Armor. I have the Blue Dragon War Body. Defense is not my weakness. Furthermore, a water-attributed Treasure Armor conflicts with my lightning-attributed body."
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Chen finally made up his mind. He chose an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure Armor, preparing to use it to complete his Cycle Banner.
If the Thunder King were still alive and saw you wasting the Secret Treasures he left behind, I wonder what he would think? Ao Jiao muttered from the Immortal Spirit Ring.
Xiao Chen smiled happily and replied, He wouldn't think anything. Did you not see that the Thunder King did not even leave a mark on them? To the Thunder King, although these things are precious, they are actually burdens. He can only leave them there.
"I am making the best use of them. When he finds out, he will definitely feel gratified. He can finally use these eyesores."
Ao Jiao's lips curled up as she said, "Sophistry."
"What I said is definitely the truth. Look, you don't even know how to refute it," Xiao Chen said with a smile. Then, he started to melt this Emperor Grade Secret Treasure.
Forging an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure was extremely difficult. However, destroying it from the inside was very easy.
First, Xiao Chen left a Spiritual Mark on the Emperor Grade Secret Treasure to recognize him as its master. Then, he broke the hidden formations in the Flowing Cloud Treasure Armor one by one.
When all the formations were broken, the Profound Water Treasure Armor suddenly released a resplendent light. A strong Emperor's Might soared into the sky.
The light illuminated the surrounding fifty kilometers like it was day. The dazzling light deterred anyone from looking at it directly.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Fortunately, I had the foresight to find a sufficiently desolate island. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble this commotion would cause?"
The light did not last long. By the time it scattered, the Profound Water Treasure Armor had already broken down into thousands of different parts floating in the air.
In the dark night, every part gave off a firefly-like light, looking beautiful and flawless. In the very center was a jewel giving off an aquamarine light. That was the Profound Water Heart.
This was the core divine material of this Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. It could be said that without the Profound Water Heart, the Profound Water Treasure Armor would not exist.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. Each of the thousands of parts represented fifty tons of peak divine materials. Furthermore, there was the Profound Water Heart. With so many divine materials, he would definitely achieve his goal if he used them to refine the Cycle Banner.
"I'll refine the first Astral Pearl first, Massacre!"
With a thought, the black Astral Pearl in the Cycle Banner automatically flew out.
Xiao Chen took out the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, and the Astral Pearl slowly fell into the cauldron with a thought. Light flickered in Xiao Chen's left eye, and all the Lunar True Flame spewed out, spreading throughout the cauldron and burning fiercely.
Then, with a wave of his hand, hundreds of Emperor Grade Secret Treasure parts fell into the cauldron. Now, there was a total of five tons of divine materials.
If the experts of the Zodiac Hall saw such a scene, they would cry in agony. This was too extravagant.
With five tons of divine materials, one could forge many peak Astral Banners with them. However, Xiao Chen only used them to refine one Astral Pearl. Furthermore, it looked like he intended to continue using millions of tons of divine materials.
This could not be helped. The others had been searching for resources everywhere with bitter expressions on their faces. However, Xiao Chen was worried about how to use these resources and not let them go to waste in the Universe Ring.
For the five Astral Pearls, Xiao Chen used forty million tons of divine materials. The banner used the remaining ten million tons of divine materials.
As for the Profound Water Heart, Xiao Chen used it on the scarlet banner, adding a profound water attribute to it.
As the banner danced, it moved like waves. It was like a boundless ocean surging and roaring, causing the entire space to tremble.
Dawn approached, and the morning sun peeked out. The warm sunlight swept away all the darkness in the world.
At this moment, Xiao Chen also finished refining the Cycle Banner. He grasped the banner pole and waved it ferociously.
The banner unfurled and fluttered in the wind. The sound of rumbling water resounded in the world, surging endlessly. On the surface of the sea around the deserted island, huge waves rose up, stretching for hundreds of miles.
Massacre, Ruin, Death, Grief, and Despair. The five Astral Pearls on the banner suddenly gave off a bright light.
Boundless starlight poured down. The originally bright sky above them suddenly turned completely dark.
The light of the Cycle Banner completely outshone the morning sun, causing night to descend once more. When one looked up, one could see the stars filling the sky.
Five-colored starlight flickered, and the Cycle Banner gave off a destructive Astral Energy.
As Xiao Chen held the banner pole, he could clearly feel the energy contained in the Astral Banner.
With a shout, Xiao Chen spun the banner around like a spear. Then, he gently stabbed the Cycle Banner into the ground.
"Boom!"
Without a sound, the desolate island under their feet was instantly shattered by the five-colored starlight contained in the war flag, turning it into dust and ashes.
A huge black hole appeared out of nowhere on the vast sea, looking extremely horrifying.
Xiao Chen's figure flashed backward, and the whirlpool formed by the black hole created a huge wave that soared into the clouds.
As Xiao Chen watched the huge wave soar into the sky, he felt a sense of pride in his chest as he held the Cycle Banner.
When the huge wave fell, Xiao Chen unfurled the Cycle Banner and waved it on the sea to his heart's content.
Massacre, Death, Ruin, Grief, and Despair. The states of five different attributes merged with the starlight, releasing a five-colored light.
Under the night sky, as Xiao Chen waved the banner, the Cycle Banner erupted with startling energy on the surface of the sea. As he waved it, starlight exploded, the ground rumbled, and the entire space trembled.
"However, although this Cycle Banner can injure an ordinary Emperor Wu with its current might, it is far from enough to make him feel fear."
Xiao Chen held the war banner in his hand as he stood in the air. Heavy rain poured endlessly in the sky.
