The seven Martial Arts Grandmasters surrounding the Peacock Beast King looked at each other. Then, they tacitly took a step back and stopped attacking the Peacock Beast King. Their goal was clearly to let the Peacock Beast King deal with the opportunistic black-robed men.
The five Martial Arts Grandmasters had not done anything. They had actually wanted to use them to enter the Fighting Spirit Tower first. This had already enraged all the human Martial Arts Grandmasters.
The Peacock Beast King was very cooperative. It was also very angry at those who had tried to sneak into the Fighting Spirit Tower.
It opened its mouth and spat out a golden flame. The flame was like a ball of fire. The terrifyingly high temperature caused the air to sizzle.
"Humph, you are just a beast. How dare you be so fierce."
The leader of the black-robed men snorted coldly. A pale hand stretched out from his black robe. He held a small black flag in his hand. The small flag was only the size of a palm. There were many skulls drawn on it. Once it appeared, a sinister wind blew in all directions. There was a faint sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling coming from the small flag.
The sound was extremely tragic. It was as if countless malicious ghosts were crying and howling hysterically. The ghostly wailing and wolf howling fell into their ears, causing some ancient martial art practitioners to have difficulty breathing. They felt dizzy and their spirits subconsciously became a little dazed.
The affected ancient martial art practitioners were shocked. They immediately restrained their breathing and focused. They expelled the evil feeling in their minds from their bodies.
As soon as the jet-black flag appeared, it immediately released strands of ghostly fog. Within the ghostly fog, there were many strangely shaped malicious spirits. Their faces were terrifying, and there were countless of them. All the malicious spirits gathered together, forming a dark cloud, and the surrounding light seemed to darken.
The seemingly terrifying golden flame flew over. However, the malicious ghosts pounced on it. They opened their mouths and tore at it. In an instant, the terrifying flame released by the Peacock Beast King completely disappeared.
The surrounding seven Major Martial Arts Grandmasters all inhaled sharply. They had fought with the Peacock Beast King before and naturally knew how terrifying that ball of high-temperature flame was. None of the seven of them would be able to block that ball of Peacock Spiritual Fire without the help of a profound level weapon. Even if they had profound level weapons to protect themselves, if they were not careful, they could still be injured.
A mysterious black-robed man had actually destroyed the Peacock Spiritual Fire so easily. Furthermore, he had done it in a way that they had not imagined.
A magical treasure that could release spirits and malicious ghosts? Isn't this type of treasure a little too strange?
"That's … the Myriad Soul Banner!"
Mo Wen's eyes widened. The jet-black flag in the hands of the black-robed man was the famous Ten Thousand Soul Banner in the Immortal Cultivation world. In the Immortal Cultivation World, the Ten Thousand Soul Flag was a famous evil magic treasure. It was known for being sinister and vicious, and was despised by the people of the righteous path.
It was because refining the Myriad Soul Banner was truly too vicious, too bloody, and went against the harmony of the world. It was something that the world couldn't tolerate.
According to what Mo Wen knew, underworld immortal cultivators liked to refine such magical treasures. Some underworld immortal cultivators with evil intentions would even refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner as a Life Spiritual Treasure.
Refining a Ten Thousand Soul Banner did not require any precious materials. Some simple materials could be used to refine it. However, the refinement of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner required souls, countless souls, and they couldn't be dead souls, they had to be living souls.
The so-called living souls were souls that had just been killed, less than fifteen minutes ago. The souls that had been dead for a long time and turned into vengeful ghosts could not be used to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Hence, under normal circumstances, in order to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, one had to kill people continuously, killing many, many people.
In order to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, some evil path immortal cultivators would even massacre an entire city. Usually, the birth of a Ten Thousand Soul Banner would cause a place to be plunged into misery and suffering.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner did not require any precious materials at all to be refined. It only required living souls, and it could be continuously replenished with living souls. The more living souls there were, the more powerful the Ten Thousand Soul Banner would be. Some terrifying Ten Thousand Soul Banners could release endless vengeful souls, blocking out the sun and the moon. An immortal cultivator with such a Ten Thousand Soul Banner could even kill other immortal cultivators of a higher level.
Some people with evil intentions and were eager for success liked to refine such evil path magical treasures.
Fortunately, the refinement of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner went against the harmony of the world and was not tolerated by the world. Once a Ten Thousand Soul Banner that was too powerful appeared, it would send down divine punishment, completely erasing the person who refined the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner from the world. Otherwise, if the Ten Thousand Soul Banner continued to grow, there would most likely be nothing that could rival it.
Mo Wen had not expected that he would actually see the legendary Ten Thousand Soul Banner in this place. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner in the hands of the black-robed man should only be the lowest rank Ten Soul Banner. However, who knew how many people had been killed to successfully refine it?
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner was divided into Ten Soul Banner, Hundred Soul Banner, Thousand Soul Banner, Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Hundred Thousand Soul Banner … Million Soul Banner …
The Ten Soul Banner was the lowest rank Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Of course, the meaning of the Ten Soul Banner was not just to kill ten living souls, but to kill a thousand. Also, there needed to be at least ten immortal cultivator souls in it to be able to refine it.
In order to refine the Ten Soul Banner, who knew how many people had to be killed?
Mo Wen did not believe that the Ten Soul Banner had been personally refined by the black-robed man. It was because the Ten Soul Banner needed to kill ten immortal cultivators and a hundred times the number of ordinary souls. Putting aside the souls of ordinary people, it was impossible for ancient martial art practitioners to kill the souls of ten immortal cultivators. In this world, it was difficult to even find an immortal cultivator.
After the countless ghosts extinguished the golden flames, they did not continue to attack the Peacock Beast King. Instead, the ghost fog shrank and enveloped the five black-robed men. Then, they furiously flew into the interior of the Fighting Spirit Tower.
The Peacock Beast King had not expected that its Peacock Spiritual Fire would be so easily destroyed by the other party. When it saw that these people were attempting to barge into the Fighting Spirit Tower, it was immediately enraged.
"All those who barge into the tower must die."
The Peacock Beast King let out a clear cry and spoke in the human language. Its voice was melodious, but its tone was filled with murderous intent.
Its seven Demonic Spiritual Treasures flew up one after another. Then, they suddenly came together to form a feather sword. The feather sword emitted a brilliant light. In a flash, it appeared in the air above the ghost fog. Then, it viciously slashed down.
The light of the golden flames flickered. The ghost fog released by the Ten Soul Banner could not block the feather swords released by the Peacock Beast King. The ghosts screamed in agony under the feather swords. Then, under the burning of the golden flames, they slowly turned into ashes.
In a moment, the ghost fog had shrunk by one-fifth.
"You b * stard! How dare you damage my treasure banner!"
The leader of the black-robed men was enraged. The ghost fog changed and a group of black-robed men appeared again. They were less than a hundred meters away from the Fighting Spirit Tower. However, with the Peacock Beast King blocking their way, they could not force their way in.
The leader of the black-robed men had not expected that the Peacock Beast King's feather sword would be so terrifying. Even his Ten Soul Banner could not block it. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner was most afraid of Buddhist treasures and fire-attribute treasures. The power of the feather sword had clearly exceeded the limits of the Ten Soul Banner.
If some ordinary ghosts had died, he would not have been so distressed. He could just replenish them later. However, three of the ten immortal cultivator souls that represented the foundation of the Ten Soul Banner had been seriously injured. This was a great loss. Even if he wanted to recover, it would not be easy.
The Peacock Beast King did not care about the threat of the black-robed men. The feather sword continued to slash down. It was decisive and ruthless. It had the intention of killing all the black-robed men.
"You b * stard. Since you want to die, don't blame me."
Chu Yuan's face was gloomy. He had not expected that the Peacock Beast King would be so difficult to deal with. Not only had it discovered his whereabouts, but it had also damaged his treasure banner. That feather sword was truly impressive. It was a Demonic Spiritual Treasure that had such power when combined together.
Originally, he had not wanted to fight the Peacock Beast King. He had only wanted to sneak into the Fighting Spirit Tower. However, everything had happened too quickly. Not only had the Peacock Beast King discovered him, but the seven human Martial Arts Grandmasters had also stopped attacking at the same time. He had no choice but to face the Peacock Beast King's obstruction.
"D * mn intruders. The sacred flame belongs to the Fire Domain. Don't you dare think of stealing it. Even if I die in battle, don't think that you will have an easy time."
The Peacock Beast King spread its wings. Beams of magnificent light flowed from its body. The colors gathered together and there was a faint flash of five-colored light. Beams of flame power surged out from its petite body. It seemed endless. The power accumulated in a monstrous beast that had cultivated for thousands of years was not something that a human Martial Arts Grandmaster could compare to.
The feather sword that had been formed by the Demonic Spiritual Treasure suddenly shone brightly. Then, it transformed into a solid phoenix that viciously crashed into the leader of the black-robed men.
Even Mo Wen, who was thousands of meters away, could feel a destructive aura from the attack. If it was used against him, it would be enough to completely destroy him.
The expressions of the seven human Martial Arts Grandmasters who had been standing to the side watching the commotion all turned serious. There was a cautious look in their eyes. They were afraid that the Peacock Beast King would make a feint and turn around to attack them.
The reason for that was because they had already suffered a great deal earlier. The seven of them had only been able to barely block that attack with their combined strength, and a few of them had even been injured.
Chu Yuan sensed the destructive aura contained in the body of the flaming phoenix. His expression also changed. He flipped his hand and a stone plate suddenly appeared in his hand. The stone plate was light gray. On the surface, it looked no different from an ordinary stone.
However, after Chu Yuan tossed the stone plate into the air, it immediately lit up with a blurry white light. The stone plate suddenly grew in size until its diameter was more than ten meters.
The flaming phoenix slammed into the stone plate. The stone plate shook and actually blocked the flaming phoenix's attack. With just a turn, it had completely dissipated the force of the flaming phoenix.
However, the flaming phoenix was not simple. It fiercely crashed into the stone plate again and again. Although the stone plate that kept spinning was constantly dissipating the force of the flaming phoenix, the flaming phoenix's power was astonishing. It seemed to be endless and its explosive power was astonishing.
Faced with such an attack, the stone plate seemed to be unable to withstand it. It sank bit by bit and its light dimmed. (To be continued.)
