Chapter 386: Chapter 385: Can’t there be some gains from being struck by lightning every month?_1

A sinister wind swept against the face, and the setting immediately quieted down. Only the wretched howls of various ghosts echoed in the vicinity.

Ha ha ——

Moo ——

Baa ——

Whether it was the dessicated elder or Vice Headmaster Shi, both in the Unification period with thousands of years of experience, had never seen a situation like today’s.

Vice Headmaster Shi’s expression was not coherent, he just looked serious and said that things had become troublesome, the other side successfully refined the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Based on the current situation, even if the other side refined ten Ten Thousand Soul Banners, it possibly won’t cause any trouble.

The dried-up old man did not expect to refine such a bunch of stuff. He just happened to pass by a small village and found that the smell of blood in the small village was extraordinarily strong, which was very suitable for refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. He swept up the smell of blood and chose a secluded place to refine it immediately.

Faced with a mighty enemy, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was successfully refined at the last moment. He was about to offer the Ten Thousand Soul Banner with the fresh blood of his enemies, intending to cast a spell to claim a million lives with Fierce Ghosts.

As a result, he summoned this pile of things?

The dried-up old man gritted his teeth, formed hand seals, and drove the Ten Thousand Soul Banner once again.

“Well, whether it’s humans or livestock, as long as they can be refined into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, they’re all considered Fierce Ghosts!”

Vice Headmaster Shi saw the dried-up old man continue to use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and also thought of the same problem.

This Ten Thousand Soul Banner may look funny, but its power is not to be underestimated!

“Charge, devour them!” The dried-up old man laughed crazily and decisively commanded, intending to bury Lu Yang and the other two here!

The pigs, bulls, and sheep scattered in all directions, rushing towards all sides. If it wasn’t for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner holding them, they would have run away without a trace long ago.

A few pigs even nudged the dried-up old man and leisurely walked elsewhere.

The dried-up old man: “…”

Vice Headmaster Shi: “…”

“Senior Brother Lu, is this a Unification-level battle?” Tao Yaoye sent a message to Lu Yang. She had less experience and encountered a Unification-level battle for the first time. She didn’t understand the way it was fought.

In his heart, Lu Yang said this is my first time encountering such a situation, too.

“Fairy, why don’t the livestock refined into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner obey orders?”

In the spiritual space, Fairy Eternity was laughing so hard she was bending over backward, and it took her a long time to recover.

“Hahaha, fool, using livestock to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, why not use bugs to refine it? Hahaha…”

When she finally eased her laughter, she explained to Lu Yang: “The essence of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is to drive the souls. The souls that can be driven must be intelligent creatures, like humans and demon beasts. The higher the cultivation level of humans and demon beasts before they die, the greater their resentment, and the stronger their power.

“A group of livestock lacks intelligence, how can you expect them to understand orders to attack?”

“But I remember that using the souls of babies can also refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner? Babies have no intelligence, right?”

“Indeed, baby souls can be used to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. But there’s one thing you haven’t noticed: Demon Cultivators don’t immediately refine baby souls into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. This process takes several years. During these years, the baby soul does not change in size, but its mind gradually grows, and when it finally reaches an age where it can understand orders, only then the refining is considered complete.”

Before Fairy Eternity became a fairy, she had many dealings with Demon Cultivators. In the chaotic times of the ancient era, Demon Cultivators were everywhere, and her understanding of Demon Cultivators was deeper than that of Vice Headmaster Shi.

Before leaving, she reminded Lu Yang: “In the future, you must study hard and don’t be as ignorant as this old man.”

Lu Yang got the answer, relayed it to Tao Yaoye, and won her admiring gaze.

Senior Brother Lu is so knowledgeable.

Wait, why does Senior Brother Lu know so much about the Demon Path?

…

The emaciated old man tossed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner aside, pulling out a necklace. Each bead on the necklace was a tiny skull, each with its own unique and fearsome visage.

This was his Life-bound Magical Treasure, the Eighteen Generations Clan Necklace. To forge this necklace, the forger must first marry and have children, multiplying his clan. Once their lineage reaches the eighteenth generation, they take the life of the most outstanding member of each generation, torturing them until they transform into beads. The bead string is made from the entrails of his wife, stringing together the eighteen beads.

The old man threw the Eighteen Generations Clan Necklace, the necklace broke apart, the skull beads inflated and grew bigger, turning into skeletal skulls floating in the sky, gnashing at Vice Headmaster Shi.

This technique alone would make the majority of Unification Cultivators dare not resist.

“Haha, you’re indeed a cruel old geezer, refining your succession of eighteen generations into a Demonic Device. Since all the eighteen successive generations descend from you, it’s easy for you to manipulate this necklace!”

The expression on Vice Headmaster Shi’s face remained unchanged. He recognized the origin of the necklace, but so what? To become the Vice Headmaster of the demonic sect right under the noses of those on the righteous path required skills beyond what the old man could imagine.

He gripped the Giant Bone Scythe in his hand. The handle of the scythe sprouted barbs that pricked his palms. The scythe absorbed the blood from his palm; a red line emerged in the middle.

Swoosh—

Vice Headmaster Shi swung the Giant Bone Scythe, the brilliance descended from the sky and instantly illuminated the whole peak. Of the eighteen major demons, six were severed.

The old man’s complexion changed: “How can this scythe’s compatibility be higher than my necklace!”

Vice Headmaster Shi strode forward, fighting the remaining major demons: “Nonsense, to forge this scythe, I pulled out all my bones, nourishing them day and night with my blood, keeping them active even after extraction. Only then could I refine these bones into the scythe!”

“However close the relationship between your eighteen generations and you may be, it can never match the intimacy between me and my own bones!”

“Madman!” the old man cursed. To extract all his bones and refine them into artifacts, this process would take hundreds of years, and was highly susceptible to secret attacks. In case of an accident, at best, his vitality would be greatly weakened; at worst, it could lead to his demise.

“Hehe, thanks to Master Qin’s favor for me, I’ve been well protected during the process!”

The fight between the two was vigorous. The old man’s demonic techniques kept emerging, the eighteen major demons constantly regrouping, disrupting Vice Headmaster Shi’s offense. Vice Headmaster Shi’s figure turned into a series of afterimages, unpredictable; his Giant Bone Scythe was reaping lives, forcing the old man to avoid close combat.

“I define rules here: [Except me, within a radius of five hundred yards, everyone moves slowly!]” The old man used the power of rules to restrict Vice Headmaster Shi’s movements.

Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye immediately felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire, hardly able to move.

Vice Headmaster Shi sneered. His Divine Soul went out of his body; although his body was moving slowly, his Soul was unaffected. He changed his weapon and, with his Soul holding a large hammer, smashed towards the old man.

“So, you can set rules? Here, I’m setting a rule: [within a radius of five hundred yards, no one can use Demonic Devices].”

The Eighteen Generations Clan Necklace lost its light, and the eighteen major demons disappeared.

“Just with a Soul, you dare to make a noise in front of me!” The old man went up alone to Vice Headmaster Shi and was knocked over by a blow from his hammer.

He screamed, “How can this be, how can your soul be so powerful!”

The old man was very confident in his own soul, he specialized in soul techniques. But his soul’s power was slightly inferior to Vice Headmaster Shi’s.

“You get struck by a lightning worth ten billion a month, you’d be like this!”

Vice Headmaster Shi swore. He risked his life to withstand celestial lightning every month; how could he have no gains?
