Because of this, the Soul Subduing Banner in the Earth Immortal World was only a magic treasure for some unorthodox demonic cultivators.
However, Ye Xuan was different because the forbidden chapter of the Immortal Scripture contained a secret technique to refine the Soul Subduing Banner. He didn't have to worry about the danger of being devoured by the souls of the dead.
Most importantly, when Ye Xuan entered the Yama Underworld, he saw countless souls drifting between heaven and earth. This was enough to refine the legendary Soul Subduing Banner.
There was no so-called benevolence, nor was there any so-called pity. Creating a billion Soul Suppressing Banners was Ye Xuan's ambition.
Whether it was for the sake of transcending the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation to become an immortal in the mortal world, or for the sake of a heaven-shaking battle with a Primordial Spirit, with the Billion Soul Suppressing Banner in hand, Ye Xuan was extremely sure that his chances of winning would greatly increase.
Moreover, Ye Xuan understood one thing. If he really entered the Earth Immortal World, the Soul Subduing Banner would be the foundation of his life.
Cultivators cultivated their fate and defied the heavens.
Ye Xuan, after four years of fighting in the Blood Sea, understood how precious it was to be alive. He absolutely didn't want the immortals in the heavens to control his fate. He wanted to climb the nine heavens step by step until he could look down on all living beings.
The Soul Subduing Banner had to be refined. This had nothing to do with morality or benevolence. Ye Xuan admitted that he was selfish. Even if millions of souls couldn't rest in peace, he absolutely wouldn't change his mind.
I would rather betray the world than let them betray me. This was Ye Xuan's principle.
Of course, before this, the materials needed to refine the Soul Subduing Banner had to be prepared.
What made Ye Xuan very excited was that the materials needed to refine the Soul Subduing Banner were items of extreme yin that could be found in the Yama Underworld.
When Ye Xuan handed a list to the Dark Crow, the Dark Crow frowned because the materials on the list were extremely precious in the Yama Underworld.
"Dark Water Essence, Extreme Yin Cold Iron, Threelives Soul-Devouring Worm …!"
The Dark Crow murmured in horror. Then, he looked at Ye Xuan with a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "Yama King, the Nether Water Essence and the Extreme Yin Cold Iron are easy to obtain, but the Threelives Soul-Devouring Worm is extremely rare. Even in the Yama Hell, you can only find it by chance. I …"
"Three days, I will only give you three days. After three days, I want to see all the materials on the list." Ye Xuan coldly interrupted the Dark Crow.
"Your subordinate will do his best." The Dark Crow's expression was troubled.
"I'm not asking you to do your best, but you must do it. If you can't gather these materials in three days, then you can bring your head to me." Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes.
The Dark Crow's expression changed after seeing Ye Xuan's ruthless expression. He knew that Ye Xuan was not just joking. If he couldn't complete the mission given to him by Ye Xuan, then he would really die.
"Yes, your subordinate obeys."
The Dark Crow said in a trembling voice. He quickly left the Yama Hall with the list of materials in his hand. Obviously, three days was too short and the Dark Crow didn't dare to delay for even a moment.
Looking at the Dark Crow's departing figure, Ye Xuan's face flushed. He clenched his fists and murmured in a cold voice, "The Billion Soul Subduing Banner. As long as I have this thing, I can be truly fearless."
Ye Xuan had a very strong premonition that the day of his immortality was really not far away.
…
Three days passed in a hurry.
During these three days, the Dark Crow led countless Ghost Soldiers to search for the materials Ye Xuan needed all over the Yama Hell. On the third day, the Dark Crow finally placed the materials to refine the Billion Soul Subduing Banner in front of Ye Xuan.
The gloomy light was dazzling and bone-chilling.
When a large number of materials were piled up in the Yama Hall, Ye Xuan's furrowed brows finally relaxed. A trace of blood quietly flashed across his eyes.
"Yan Jun, may I know what you need these materials for?" The Dark Crow asked cautiously.
"The Billion Soul Subduing Banner."
These four simple words came out of Ye Xuan's mouth, but the Dark Crow was instantly stunned. He didn't recover from his shock for a full ten breaths.
"Yan Jun, you can't!"
The Dark Crow's body was trembling. The gloomy light around him fluctuated violently. He looked at Ye Xuan as if he was looking at a madman.
"Why not?" Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and said in a slightly cold voice.
"Yan Jun, please understand. The Billion Soul Subduing Banner is a forbidden item between heaven and earth. Not to mention in this Dharma Ending Age world, it is a legendary item even in the Earth Immortal World. Although there are billions of dead souls in the Yama Hell, if you really refine this item, with your current cultivation, if the Billion Soul Subduing Banner backfires, not only will you die, but the Yama Hell will also very likely collapse under the backlash of the Billion Soul Subduing Banner."
The Dark Crow trembled as it tried to dissuade him. It truly didn't think that Ye Xuan would be so crazy as to actually want to refine such a legendary taboo item.
Thinking of the terror of the Billion Soul Subduing Banner, the Dark Crow's legs went weak. This forbidden item that went against heaven and earth was an item that could kill immortals and gods. If something went wrong, it would bring a devastating disaster to the Yama Hell.
"No one can question my decision. You only need to act according to my will. Do you understand?" Ye Xuan said coldly.
Looking at the murderous intent in Ye Xuan's eyes, the Dark Crow couldn't help but shudder. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The Dark Crow understands."
"For seven days, without my permission, no one is allowed to take a step into the Yama Hall. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy."
"You can leave now."
As Ye Xuan said coldly, the Dark Crow's breathing became chaotic. He bowed to Ye Xuan and quickly left the Yama Hall. Clearly, he was extremely frightened by Ye Xuan's craziness.
Rumble!
The door of the Yama Hall slowly closed until it was tightly shut. It fell into silence.
Inside the Yama Hall.
In the deathly silent atmosphere, the sparkling dark fire flickered. Apart from the pile of refining materials on the ground, the atmosphere of the entire Yama Hall could be said to be extremely oppressive.
Huff!
Ye Xuan breathed slowly and exhaled slowly. He tried his best to calm his emotions. Looking at the refining materials, his eyes revealed a crazed look that had never been seen before.
When Ye Xuan calmed down and raised his essence, energy, and spirit to the peak, he finally made his move.
"Quick!"
Ye Xuan's expression was grave. He pointed his sword and a speck of blood light appeared at his fingertips. A small mountain of refining materials suddenly rose into the air. Ye Xuan's body also erupted with terrifying black demonic flames.
All of a sudden, something terrifying happened!
Ye Xuan's expression was ferocious. He cut open his own chest with his sword fingers. There was no sign of pain on his face. It was as if this self-mutilation was not inflicted on him.
Poof!
Large amounts of essence blood spurted out from his chest. In an instant, the small mountain of refining materials was soaked in a magnificent blood-red color. The screams of the dead could be heard from the void.
"With my essence blood as the guide and my Primordial Spirit as the medium, melt!"
Ye Xuan roared savagely. He drew a circle with his palms. The terrifying black demonic flames around him instantly drowned the refining materials.
