Chapter 29 - Mysterious Yin Treasure Banner, Millennium Refining of the Treasure!
Chapter 29 Mysterious Yin Treasure Banner, Millennium Refining of the Treasure!
That great Da Luo fierce beast, despite possessing immense power and a mighty body, lacked intelligence and technique, gradually falling into a disadvantage. Its bone armor kept shattering, blood flowing profusely, and its roars growing weaker and weaker.
After an unknown length of struggle, Chu Yuan seized an opportunity and unleashed all six arms at once. All three of Chu Yuan’s heads roared in unison, his entire body’s strength exploding to the extreme!
Shouldering mountains and charging through seas!
“Crack! Crack!”
The bone-cracking sound, grating on the teeth, rang out!
A Da Luo mid-stage fierce beast, famous for its powerful physique and terrifying strength was actually killed by Chu Yuan purely through brute strength, smashing it to death with his fists.
“This master’s physical body actually…”
From afar, Feng Ling witnessed this scene, her heart once again sinking into shock. Previously, the corpse-controlling gu (witchcraft) was used to suppress the Fire Qilin, which was already impressive enough.
Now, killing a Da Luo fierce beast with raw physical force alone. It should be known that among equals, the physique of fierce beasts is even stronger than that of dragons.
Without a doubt, Feng Ling’s worldview was once again severely shaken.
“Brother’s strength has advanced again!”
Even Nuwa could not help but feel deep admiration.
“Huff… huff…”
Chu Yuan released the “Law of Heaven and Earth” and the “Three Heads and Six Arms” formations, returning to his normal size, breathing heavily. Though he ultimately won the battle, the cost was immense.
Having personally slain a mid-stage Da Luo fierce beast, he gained a clearer understanding of his own strength and greatly honed the “Xuan Huang Undying Body” technique.
After a brief rest, he stepped forward to collect the shattered corpse of the fierce beast. This was a mid-stage Da Luo Golden Immortal material—extremely precious whether used for refining Gu corpses or forging artifacts.
“Brother…”
Only after the fierce beast was suppressed did Nuwa and Feng Ling fly closer.
“To think such a place could nurture a Da Luo-level fierce beast… it must be more complicated inside than it seems.”
Chu Yuan looked at the still lingering dense aura of killing intent and resentment around him, a thought stirring in his heart.
“With such pure killing intent, if it could be harnessed…”
He recalled his Xuan Yin Array. This formation took inspiration from the three Yin forces, gathering the power of many Gu corpses, linking the killing aura to aid in slaughter. But human power has its limits—yet the power of Heaven and Earth is infinite!
A bold idea surfaced in Chu Yuan’s mind.
“Refining a banner with killing energy… imitating the Celestial Banner of the Zhou Heavens?”
“Nüwa, Fengling, temporarily protect for me!”
Without hesitation, Chu Yuan immediately sat cross-legged and began his calculations. Based on the Xuan Yin Great Array, he started attempting to forge a brand-new array banner. A century passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, the first black banner, about ten feet high, shimmering with a faint dark light and swirling with pure killing energy, was successfully forged by Chu Yuan!
This banner uses the bones of a fierce beast as the pole, its sinews as the threads, and its skin as the surface. It is a mid-grade postnatal spiritual treasure!
On the banner’s surface, it seems empty, yet it contains a boundless, terrifying deadly ground.
Killing energy surges violently—extremely dangerous. But it can absorb and nurture killing energy!
[By comprehending the killing energy in the fierce beast battlefield ruins and combining the Xuan Yin Great Array with memories from a past life, you have created the Ninety-Nine Xuan Yin Great Array!]
At that moment, a beautiful voice echoed again in Chu Yuan’s mind.
The Ninety-Nine Xuan Yin Great Array!
It was created based on the Xuan Yin Great Array!
The term “Ninety-Nine” does not refer to the number eighty-one. Rather, nine is considered the ultimate number, and combining ninety-nine means the limit of all limits!
Used together with the Xuan Yin killing energy banner to deploy the formation!
Breaking the previous limitation where only corpse spirits and killing energy could form the array, once the grand array was completed, it could naturally absorb the killing energy of heaven and earth. Especially now, being amidst a calamity, the killing energy was far more abundant than usual.
The power of the formation was not comparable to the previous Xuan Yin Grand Array!
“Not a bad start after all!”
Sensing the power of the Xuan Yin Killing Energy Banner, Chu Yuan reached out and tapped it!
The banner slipped from his hand, billowing in the wind, finally growing to a height of a hundred zhang (about 300 meters). It stood tall in the void.
The killing energy in the cursed land was drawn by an invisible force, surging into the Xuan Yin Killing Energy Banner. As the killing energy was absorbed, a brand new innate restriction within the treasure banner gradually began to evolve.
The more killing energy absorbed, the higher the grade and the stronger the power of the Xuan Yin Killing Energy Banner became. It perfectly purified the cursed land’s killing energy while achieving two goals at once!
After refining the first Xuan Yin Killing Energy Banner, the 99 Xuan Yin Grand Array was also completed. Chu Yuan’s confidence soared as he threw himself into large-scale refining and purification work. He did not rush but proceeded steadily and firmly.
On one hand, he ventured deeper into the cursed land, hunting the fierce beasts inside. Although these beasts lacked intelligence, their bodies were powerful, and their killing energy was formidable, making them perfect for honing his combat skills and tempering the “Xuan Huang Undying Body” technique.
At the same time, he collected advanced materials needed for refining killing energy banners and corpse spirits. On the other hand, whenever a batch of materials was gathered, he began refining new batches of “Xuan Yin Killing Energy Banners” to speed up the absorption of killing energy.
Each batch was deployed across the cursed land, starting to absorb the omnipresent killing and resentful energy of the area. It was a long and tedious process, full of killing and refining.
Time quietly passed amidst this day-after-day cycle of hunting, refining, arranging formations, and absorbing energy. One hundred years… five hundred years… eight hundred years…
In the blink of an eye, three thousand years had passed!
