Chapter 102: The Demon Banner Rises 4K
The insightful light of the Haotian Mirror fell from the dream and shone in the direction of the sword light.

But what can we do now that we know everything?

If the atmosphere in Yanshan City was just tense before, it is now chaotic.

The Lieyang Sect was busy starting up various arrangements in the city, and other sects that had garrison forces in the city also joined in defending the city.

"Quick! Pile all the blood stones here."

"All the first-rank disciples of Bailian Palace activate the divine pattern formation."

Feng Changqing mobilized the forces of the garrison in an orderly manner. Due to his age, his fighting ability had seriously declined, and directly participating in the war was tantamount to suicide.

In fact, as long as a warrior enters the immortal realm, his combat effectiveness will not decline due to his approaching lifespan. Without the influence of the decline of qi and blood, lifespan will no longer be an obstacle to a breakthrough.

Golden divine patterns emerged from the void above the base, and piles of blood stones burned, transforming into pure blood and energy that merged into it.

The quaint three-story stone tower in the center of the base emitted a hazy glow. It was a failed imitation of the Twin Towers, a treasure. In this regard, the Mengshen Sect had never been successful.

But even if it is a failure, it is still a top-grade treasure!

The power of the stone tower spread to the entire Yanshan City. A golden glow attached to the soul of every warrior, adding another barrier to the soul.

This type of treasure is also called a large war treasure. Its main function is to concentrate weak and scattered forces and transform them into a powerful force that can influence the outcome of the battle.

The blood stone can be used as an energy source to activate the treasure. It would be even more perfect if it could be connected to the earth veins.

"Palace Master, I'm going to the North City District to take a look."

The Immortal Realm powerhouses in the base rushed to various important areas in the city as soon as possible, so there was no point in him staying here any longer.

"Go ahead, but don't be impulsive."

"You are still young, don't rush to fight. If... then retreat back to Shuangta Mountain." The last sentence was transmitted directly into Jiang Yi's sea of ​​consciousness by Feng Changqing through the secret sound transmission.

In Feng Changqing's opinion, Jiang Yi's future has unlimited possibilities, but unfortunately the time left for him to grow is too short.

"Take care, Palace Master!"

When he left, he gave Feng Changqing three soul pills, which were made from the soul that was hooked back by the soul-hooking chain. He also took a few of them himself, which greatly improved his spiritual awareness.

Although this cannot solve Feng Changqing's lifespan problem, it can at least make his condition better.

The northern sky was dyed red by flames. The war artifacts continuously drew power from the underground fire veins, transforming it into more violent attacks and falling into the battlefield. The sharp sword light continuously slashed at the protective formation, causing the divine pattern to shake.

When Jiang Yi landed on the north city wall, the area outside the city had turned into a fire zone, with red and black intertwined, curses and flames corroding each other, and the complex souls between heaven and earth seemed to have gathered into an ocean, with powerful soul weapons floating in it, and intensive attacks kept flying.

As the mountain gate that has been operated by the Lieyang Sect for tens of thousands of years, at this critical moment of life and death, all kinds of hidden cards were revealed one after another, and it stood tall under the surging offensive.

Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the current situation, it would be impossible for the other party to break through Yanshan City in a short period of time.

He immediately joined the counterattack team and raised the Soul-Falling Bell. As the heavy bell rang, the soul ocean vibrated slightly, and bits of soul light flew up, adding a bit of dreamy color to this battlefield of blood and fire.

The Dinghai Divine Pearl emitted a hundred feet of light and descended with the power of the four seas. A huge hand stretched out from the ocean of souls, trying to take it away, but was torn into pieces before it made contact.

As the Dinghai Divine Pearl fell, the ocean of souls rushing towards Yanshan City began to stagnate slightly, and countless souls were annihilated.

……

A ferocious soul beast as big as a mountain was lying in the mountains, seemingly in a deep sleep.

"King, everything is ready." A soul floated over.

The giant beast slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils seemed to lead to an endless abyss, and his perception almost covered the entire battlefield.

"Then let's get started. Success or failure depends on this!"

Black rods wrapped in pure soul power and engraved with intricate patterns cut through the void and sank into the earth. The divine patterns that appeared on the land around Yanshan City suddenly dimmed.

"After so many years of fighting, do you really think we don't have any targeted research?"

“It is always easier to destroy than to build.”

Those black sticks are special soul weapons. Their only function is to affect the connection between the underground fire veins of Huozhou and Yanshan City, thereby weakening the defense system of Yanshan City.

Unfortunately, they couldn't directly cut off the connection between the Yanshan Defense Line and the Fire Vein, otherwise it would be more direct, but this was enough.

Although they can accomplish this step even without the support of Sword Domain, in that case, they would be paving the way for Sword Domain with their own sacrifice. As allies, how can they not contribute!
The sudden change caused the many divine pattern formations in Yanshan City to malfunction, the protective formation flickered for a while, and the war artifacts that were drawing power from the fire veins to counterattack were completely silenced.

"Not good!" Jiang Yi immediately understood what was going on.

Whether it is the Taoist formation or the divine pattern formation of the Chongming Realm, in essence they all rely on the power of heaven and earth, which in turn is the key to breaking the formation.

In the ancient times, many formations use magic weapons or spiritual roots as the core of the formation. The purpose is to strengthen this connection and make the formation more stable.

The person who sets up the formation must strengthen the connection between the formation and the power of heaven and earth, and the person who breaks the formation must sever this connection. Victory or defeat depends entirely on their respective methods.

Right now, Yanshan City’s defense system has only been affected but has not collapsed directly. This means that the other party has failed to directly cut off the connection between Yanshan City and the underground fire veins, so there is still a chance!

How could the Hell Soul Society, which had been waiting for this moment for a long time, drag its feet? As soon as they revealed their trump cards, they sounded the clarion call for the general attack.

Led by giant beasts that are hundreds of feet long, countless soul beasts rushed towards Yanshan City. Pale flames appeared on the soul ocean. Pure soul power was injected into each war soul weapon, launching a more fierce offensive towards Yanshan City.

Suddenly, with a crisp shattering sound, a sharp sword light cut a gap in the defense formation of Yanshan City, and countless black smoke poured in from the gap.

A black lotus of destruction appeared under Jiang Yi's feet, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a size of a hundred acres, blocking the gap, and the countless black smoke was instantly eliminated.

But now simply blocking the gap is of no use. The protective formation of Yanshan City flickers. One moment it was blocking the invasion of soul cultivators, and the next moment countless soul shadows flew to all parts of the city, and a chaotic battle began.

Jiang Yi immediately threw out the Ghost Bone Banner, which was nearly five feet high, decorated with bones, and exuding an evil aura, and inserted it on the top of the North City. As a spiritual treasure that can attack the soul in a large area, the Ghost Bone Banner's upper limit is not as good as the Soul Falling Bell, but it has an advantage that the Soul Falling Bell does not have, that is, it can attack automatically!

Regardless of friend or foe, except for the owner of the spiritual treasure, as long as any living being enters the attack range, the soul will be attacked by the Ghost Bone Banner.

With such random placement, accidental injuries are inevitable, but on the front line of this defense, there are no weak people on the Chongming Realm side. Even if they are affected, the impact is quite limited, and it is entirely possible to resist with their strong will.

However, the Hell Soul Realm side that uses the Soul Sea tactics will be constantly "screened", and countless casualties will occur just by passing through.

As for being taken away by the soul cultivator, that was at will. The Ghost Bone Banner had been refined by him, so it was not so easy to forcibly erase his mark. If his banner was taken, he could use it as a medium to curse him.

Yanshan City shook slightly, and the original power of the two worlds collided more violently, with rays of light falling from the void from time to time.

The Hell Soul Realm launched the Soul Sea Tactics not to reduce the loss of high-level combat power, but to occupy Yanshan City more quickly.

The key lies in the concept of "occupation". In the lands of the interconnected other worlds, the more living beings we have, the easier it will be for the Heavenly Dao to devour them and turn them into the territory of this world.

As the world expands, the original power of the world will naturally increase, and the way of heaven, which is the program for the operation of the world, will also become stronger accordingly.

Once Yanshan City is swallowed up by the Heavenly Dao of the Hell Soul Realm and becomes the territory of the Hell Soul Realm, there will be no hope for Huozhou to turn the tables.

Because they were distracted in many places, there were only six Sanyuan Realm warriors in Yanshan City, half of whom were ancestors of Lieyang Sect. They were facing all kinds of strange sieges, and the soul beast with a body as big as a mountain was even more terrifying.

The soul beast itself is not much weaker than a warrior in the Three Yuan Realm, and coupled with the soul cultivator ghost living in it...

Jiang Yi sat on the lotus platform. No matter whether it was the Dinghai Divine Pearl or the Destroying Black Lotus, every strike could annihilate a large number of souls. The Soul-Hooking Chain could also hook a powerful being from time to time.

Under the suppression of the Soul-Hooking Chain and the World-Destroying Black Lotus, he soon died miserably, and his merits would occasionally jump up by three to five points, or even seven to eight points.

In the chaos of battle, he was far more eye-catching than those immortal realm warriors!

At this moment, the darkness of the World-Destroying Black Lotus deepened even more. A cold and sinister attack penetrated the black lotus's defense and landed on the auspicious clouds of the heavens above Jiang Yi's head. Immediately, golden clouds surged and the eight-tone fairy music echoed.

This was different from the initial test in battlefield No. 5. With his perception, he couldn't find the opponent's position at all. He attacked a junior like him in such a sneak attack and was so insidious. Should he say that this was worthy of the style of the Hell Soul Society!

However, the Soul-Catching Chain can replace his perception to a certain extent. When another attack came, the Soul-Catching Chain's claws extended in the opposite direction, and a necklace in the celebration cloud of the heavens was shattered.

Because the Beggar's Version of the Celebration Clouds of the Heavens is a consumable, Jiang Yi has always used the Black Lotus of Destruction as the first layer of defense. Anyone who can penetrate the Black Lotus's defense and still destroy the Celebration Clouds of the Heavens is undoubtedly a top-level powerhouse.

“It’s a hit!”

Jiang Yi did not hesitate to attack, and the World-Destroying Black Lotus suppressed him, and the Dinghai Divine Pearl also came with the power of the four seas to kill him.

Under one suppression, the World-Destroying Black Lotus wiped out a large number of souls, and the Dinghai Divine Pearl also achieved good results, but these were not the opponent's main souls. To put it bluntly, they were strategic reserves!
Jiang Yi fought fiercely with him. Curse, filth, destruction and killing power overflowed from the black lotus of destruction. A large amount of soul power was suppressed, but the opponent's all-pervasive attack also made him feel very uncomfortable.

Such a war of attrition would be extremely disadvantageous to him. Once Zhutian Qingyun was destroyed, he would lose a layer of defense and would not be qualified to fight with such a strong opponent.

"Okay, okay, I'll show you a big treasure!"

The army of the Hell Soul Realm has all been pressed into Yanshan City. The sword cultivator has not appeared, and a large number of warriors are dying in the city every moment. Jiang Yi doesn't want to drag it on any longer.

The black lotus space opened up, and invisible auras fell into the battlefield.

Jiang Yi had no way to control the mysterious aura coming from the Tianduan Canyon. Without the Haotian Mirror, he couldn't see or sense it. Fortunately, as long as the Zhutian Qingyun didn't explode, the effect of "all evils are warded off, and all magic is kept away" would always protect him.

Just as he released the mysterious aura, with a loud roar, an ancestor of the Lieyang Sect fell, and he didn't even have time to drag someone down with him.

Given the absolute numerical disparity, even the suppression of Heaven cannot change the outcome!

Jiang Yi's opponent soon showed signs of abnormality. After all, he was hit in the face by the Black Lotus of Destruction, and he must have been contaminated by the mysterious aura, and maybe more than one aura.

Some strange things began to happen during the fierce battle, and gradually, it seemed that the entire North City area was affected. Even if someone was not contaminated by the mysterious aura, they would be affected by those who were contaminated by the mysterious aura.

As these auras spread, the battlefield became strange. Jiang Yi waved at the void, and the Haotian Mirror emitting brilliant light fell from the dream and returned to his hands again.

He needs to ensure that the warriors will not be contaminated by these strange things. If they are just affected by others, it can be used as an advantage, after all, the other party is in a worse situation. Once contaminated, he needs to absorb it through the World-Destroying Black Lotus.

The soul cultivator who was entangled with him also realized that something was wrong with him, and wanted to get rid of this influence by splitting his soul, but it was useless!
"What on earth is this?"

It turns out that a soul cultivator who is equivalent to a warrior at the third level of the realm would also be affected so severely. This is much more exaggerated than karma!
Jiang Yi was also shocked by the exaggerated effect. Originally, he just wanted it to have a slight impact and be able to escape the battlefield safely.

But now...

"You want to leave after my baby smears your face!"

No matter what this thing is, how could Jiang Yi, who wants to take advantage of the other party's illness, let the other party leave like this? This is a moving merit bag!
Before, the opponent had been able to avoid being suppressed by the World-Destroying Black Lotus through various means, but now, as if he had been struck by bad luck, his escape technique actually failed due to the influence of the previous soul splitting, and he was suppressed by the Black Lotus.

In the end, even the remaining soul was wiped out by Jiang Yi, and there was no possibility of rebirth.

With the huge amount of merit coming in, Jiang Yi prepared to exchange for the Book of Life and Death. After the surprise of the Beggar's Edition Soul-Catching Chain, he was very much looking forward to the copycat version of the Book of Life and Death.

Look, I’m going to hook you to death!

and many more!

Jiang Yi, who was about to exchange it, suddenly came to his senses. Although the Book of Life and Death was not as directly unexchangeable as the Book of Heaven, if he wanted to check his name, he had to have it in the Book of Life and Death, right?
The original Book of Life and Death is an innate spiritual treasure that is connected to the destiny of the ancient world and is a part of the way of heaven. Naturally, it contains information about living beings and can be used to control the life and death of living beings.

But what he exchanged was just a copycat version. Could there be any information about living beings on it?
Even if the Heavenly Dao of Chongming Realm is willing, it cannot control the other two worlds!

I can’t choose the Book of Life and Death, the uncertainty is too great, so I’d better choose that one!

A banner fell from the space of the Dinghai Shenzhen Pearl. As the power of merit was deducted, an unknown force wrapped the banner that served as a carrier of the spiritual treasure. It changed rapidly, and bits of debris flew down.

The big banner grew taller in the wind and instantly became more than five meters high. At the same time, Jiang Yi also obtained a lot of inheritance information, but now was not the time to study the inheritance.

The demon-summoning banner!
Up!
　There is not much introduction to the demon-summoning banner in Fengshen, so here is the function of the second setting
