Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3792: Surging Demon Qi

However, when the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt saw the object, he immediately became stern. “This is a Fiend Soul Banner. It’s a demonic artifact infamous in the Demons’ World. However, the conditions for forging this item are extremely stringent. One of them involves claiming the lives of billions. It’s extremely brutal. Even in the Demons’ World, there aren’t many who can forge Fiend Soul Banners. Anyone who tries will be forcefully stopped by everyone else of the demonic path.”

“Sect master, don’t tell me you obtained this from the Immortal Exalt who just perished?”

Jian Chen nodded and said, “The three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment are the Transcension Ancestor, the Space-purging Ancestor, and the Flying Leaf Ancestor. The Immortal Exalt who died just now is the Space-purging Ancestor!”

“He’s one of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment?” The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt looked at the black banner and sneered. “If the Fiend Soul Banner was created a long time ago, you could potentially say that the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment happened upon it by luck, but I can tell with a single glance that the Fiend Soul Banner has been forged recently. It was completely created by the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”

“The Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment claims to be a righteous sect, but what they do secretly is even looked down upon by people of the demonic path like me. The birth of Fiend Soul Banners means that countless lives have been sacrificed. Even in the Demons’ World, only the truly outrageous and abhorrent can commit such a deed.”

The Thousand Soul Demon Exalt returned the Fiend Soul Banner to Jian Chen and sighed gently. “This is only a secondary banner of the Fiend Soul Banners. Apart from the secondary banners that may vary in number, there should be a primary banner as well. Sect master, I’m already certain that what you saw in the Tiger Roar clan is not even the tip of the iceberg. The deeds of the Tiger Roar clan are worlds apart from what is required to forge Fiend Soul Banners.”

“And if I’ve guessed correctly, the primary banner of the Fiend Soul Banners should be with the Transcension Ancestor. If you face him in the future, you have to be careful, sect master. With his cultivation as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, he’ll be extremely terrifying if he also has the primary banner.”

Jian Chen hovered above the bottomless pit where the Space-purging Ancestor had perished. He held the Fiend Soul Banner in thought, pondering how he should deal with the item.

After a moment of thought, Jian Chen made up his mind. He pointed a finger at the secondary banner. In the next moment, the black banner that seemed perfectly normal erupted with extremely powerful and cold demon Qi, forming a black cloud that blanketed the surroundings.

Jian Chen tossed the secondary banner into the forest down below and removed the obscuring formation. Under the effects of the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race and the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, he perfectly hid himself, seemingly departing from the world. He left behind absolutely no trace.

In that instant, a large cloud of demon Qi spread out in the depths of the ancient mountain range, rapidly expanding across the entire place. Wherever it passed by, all of the plants were dyed pitch-black like they had demonified.

On top of that, sinister and horrifying laughter echoed through the black mist like a woman’s and like a child’s. It was feminine and eerie, enough to give people chills from the creepiness.

At the same time, powerful senses of the soul reached over from the distance, arriving in the mountains.

Shortly afterwards, figures strode over from afar, crossing worlds with each step. They moved extremely quickly, directly arriving nearby.

Even the weakest of these people were Immortal Emperors. They were all the people closest to here, having sensed the abnormalities first. They were also the first ones to arrive at the scene.

“Is this caused by a demonic god artifact?”

“This god artifact might be a demonic item, but its value is immeasurable. Even among high quality god artifacts, it’s anything but weak.”

“Righteousness lies in the hands of the user. It’s only an item. There is nothing intrinsically wrong or right about it.”

The Immortal Emperors who arrived here first were all insightful. They could all tell with a single glance that this was all caused by a demonic god artifact.

Without much hesitation, the Immortal Emperors all raised a barrier of energy before drawing their defensive god artifacts and charging into the demon Qi resolutely.

Very soon, they arrived before the Fiend Soul Banner. Gazing at the palm-sized black banner that lay on the ground, some of them furrowed their brows, while the eyes of others lit up. They made no attempt to hide their greed.

Despite being a demonic artifact, the black banner was still a high quality god artifact. In the eyes of most Immortal Emperors, high quality god artifacts were items that they could only dream of.

If they obtained this item, even if they did not use it for themselves but exchanged it with experts of the demonic path, it would still earn them a tidy sum.

“That’s strange. Why would a demonic god artifact appear here for no reason? There are clearly signs of destruction in the surroundings. Don’t tell me there were supreme experts fighting here?”

An Immortal Emperor voiced his doubts.

At this moment, a hand suddenly extended out from near the Fiend Soul Banner, silently reaching towards the banner.

“Hmph. How dare you. With how powerful the demon Qi is, do you think it is something that the likes of a mere Immortal Emperor like you can possess?”

Right when the hand was about to grab the Fiend Soul Banner, a bellow erupted like thunder, making the Immortal Emperors present shudder. They subconsciously backed away.

“It’s the Mind Startling Spell. It’s an Immortal Exalt ancestor of the Overflowing Immortal sect!”

An Immortal Emperor exclaimed.

When they heard it was the Overflowing Immortal sect, the expressions of the Immortal Emperors in the ancient mountain range changed.

The Overflowing Immortal sect was a renowned peak organisation of the Hall Brilliance Heaven. They had two Immortal Exalt ancestors. To certain Immortal Emperor organisations, they obviously possessed a tremendous influence.

Swish!

At this moment, a streak of golden light shot through the air, striking the space beside the Fiend Soul Banner with lightning speed.

In the next moment, the space there shook and directly erupted with blood. An Immortal Emperor concealed there immediately fell out with a hole in his chest.

It was the Immortal Emperor who had tried to take the Fiend Soul Banner while hiding away.

However, after suffering this injury, he did not hesitate at all, immediately fleeing with a secret technique.

In the next moment, a figure shining with resplendent golden light slowly descended from above. He was like an embodiment of the sun, blazing with light, purging the darkness and illuminating the world.

Wherever the golden light reached, the black demon Qi that filled the area dissipated like it had vapourised.

At that moment, the depths of the ancient mountain range that had been clad in demon Qi returned to normal.

“It’s one of the two ancestors of the Overflowing Immortal sect, the Sun-chasing Immortal Exalt!”

An Immortal Emperor recognised the person and exclaimed before quickly rushing over to greet him.

The Sun-chasing Immortal Exalt was an expert of the Third Heavenly Layer, the strongest expert of the Overflowing Immortal sect!

The Sun-chasing Immortal Exalt was a burly, middle-aged man. He was bare-chested, only wearing a pair of shorts. His muscles bulged with definition as he carried a three-metre-long bow on his shoulder!

The bow glistened brightly, radiating with hazy light from the surface. It gave off the pressure of a high quality god artifact!

“Why has such a sinister demonic god artifact suddenly appeared here?” the Sun-chasing Immortal Exalt said sternly. His gaze paused on the Fiend Soul Banner for a moment before looking at the bottomless pit on the side. His eyes abruptly narrowed.

Wisps of a terrifying presence continued to permeate the surroundings of the huge pit. The presence was so powerful that it even alarmed the Sun-chasing Immortal Exalt.
