Chapter 623: Chapter 621: Soul Refining Banner VS Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl (2)

The Demon Hall Master pushed the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl to its limit, unleashing its ultimate form.

It transformed into a Blood Demon, ready to devour the world!

This move alone had the power to sweep across the land.

Xuanyuan Qingyi had already sensed the terror of this attack from the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl.

Thus, she had swiftly activated a Secret Skill, sweeping up the disciples of the Luochen Sect and retreating over ten thousand meters.

But still, a hundred or so Luochen Sect disciples who were too close to the front were directly devoured by the Blood Demon.

Jiang Jichen stood in the void, his body pulled by the immense force of the world-devouring demon.

If he were swallowed by the Blood Demon, his fate would surely be grim.

The Blood Demon’s body contained demonic, resentful, and sanguine auras—energies that could not be resisted by physical fortitude alone.

Now, the Blood Demon not only opened its giant maw to devour the world but also extended a massive Blood Hand.

It reached across a thousand meters, grabbing for Jiang Jichen.

But the Demon Hall Master’s assault didn’t stop there. One by one, smaller Blood Demons wielding Blood Sabers leaped from the void, slashing at Jiang Jichen’s back.

This time, the Demon Hall Master had truly pushed the power of the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl to its absolute limit.

A Saint-Level, Forbidden-Level Killing Artifact was indeed terrifying beyond measure.

Trapped in this peerless peril, Jiang Jichen’s expression was serene. He was perfectly calm.

He held the Soul Refining Banner, his Seven-Colored Divine Soul at the Nascent Soul Extreme Realm already pushed to its peak.

Jiang Jichen only knew of the Soul Refining Banner’s origins from what an Undead Cultivator had told him—that it was a legendary evil object from the Undead Realm.

For even the Undead to call it evil, one could only imagine how dreadful the Soul Refining Banner truly was.

The Soul Refining Banner was still clearly in a state of extreme disrepair, but it could be slowly restored by absorbing souls.

Compared to when he first obtained it, the banner had gradually begun to regain its luster, and its power was even more terrifying.

All this time, Jiang Jichen had only known how to activate it with his Soul Power and have it unleash a Soul Storm.

It was the simplest, most primitive form of attack!

It wasn’t until Jiang Jichen reached the Nascent Soul Extreme Realm that he unexpectedly developed a mysterious connection with the Soul Refining Banner.

And some information was transmitted from the banner.

It was the method for using the Soul Refining Banner.

Just as the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword had its own exclusive skills, so did the Soul Refining Banner.

It was just that because the banner was too damaged, its inherited techniques were incomplete.

It was only after the Soul Refining Banner had undergone some repairs, coupled with Jiang Jichen’s soul growing stronger, that he finally received a sliver of its legacy.

Soul Wound!

Yes, this was one of the Soul Refining Banner’s exclusive, albeit incomplete, techniques.

This was also the first time Jiang Jichen had ever used it. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

At that moment, the giant Blood Demon’s hand was already closing in, and the smaller Blood Demons, wielding their Blood Sabers, slashed at Jiang Jichen’s back.

Under the terrifying suction of the world-devouring attack, even Jiang Jichen’s Shadow Step was difficult to execute, leaving him to endure the smaller Blood Demons’ strikes head-on.

PFFT!

Even with a body as strong as Jiang Jichen’s, his back was instantly mangled, the wounds so deep his bones were visible.

The Blood Sabers in the small Blood Demons’ hands, suffused with resentful, demonic, and sanguine auras, were able to pierce Jiang Jichen’s defenses.

Despite suffering such a horrendous attack, Jiang Jichen’s expression remained serene; he didn’t even furrow his brow.

At that moment, he tightened his grip on the Soul Refining Banner, pouring his Seven-Colored Soul Power from the Nascent Soul Extreme Realm into it.

"Myriad souls of heaven and earth, perish without burial!"

Within his Divine Soul, a strange Soul Burial Melody echoed endlessly.

His Seven-Colored Divine Soul pulsed in time with that wondrous, strange rhythm.

In an instant, the Soul Refining Banner erupted with infinite Seven-Colored light and an aura that made one’s very soul despair.

Then, Jiang Jichen raised the Soul Refining Banner and swept it forward.

VMMMM!

The void trembled as the Seven-Colored Soul Light flared.

At the same time, hundreds of millions of souls appeared, clad in Seven-Colored Battle Armor. They were like an army of soul warriors, each holding a Seven-Colored Light Saber.

With the tragic valor of those marching to their deaths, they charged forth to bury their souls on the battlefield.

"Soul Wound, kill!"

After a long silence, Jiang Jichen suddenly let out a furious roar.

His voice carried a tragic, heroic quality.

It resonated with the heavens and the earth, making people feel as if they could faintly hear a soul’s song in the ethereal void.

As his voice rose and fell, the hundreds of millions of Seven-Colored soul warriors filled the sky and swept forward.

PFFT!

The giant Blood Demon hand reaching for him was suddenly struck by thousands upon thousands of Seven-Colored Light Sabers.

With almost no power to resist, the Blood Demon’s extended giant Blood Hand exploded and was annihilated.

The small Blood Demons at his back were also swept away before they could even react, facing the soul warriors clad in Seven-Colored Battle Armor and wielding Seven-Colored Light Sabers.

"ROAR!"

The destruction of its giant Blood Hand sent the massive Blood Demon into a pained, furious rage.

Now, it transformed again!

A new Blood Hand grew, and a massive Blood Saber formed in its grasp.

"Slash!"

The Demon Hall Master spat out another mouthful of essence blood to power the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl.

The next moment, the giant blood-humanoid holding the Blood Saber actually leaped up, raised the saber high, and chopped down toward Jiang Jichen.

In that instant, the hundreds of millions of soul warriors were cleaved in two, and the Blood Saber was about to fall upon Jiang Jichen.

But in the next instant, the cleaved souls suddenly transformed into countless streams of Seven-Colored Spiritual Light, merging from hundreds of millions into one: a colossal Soul War God as tall as the heavens.

It was clad in Seven-Colored Battle Armor and held a giant Seven-Colored Light Saber. Amidst its blurred features, one could faintly make out Jiang Jichen’s silhouette.

Above in the void, the battle had now become a clash between the giant blood-humanoid and the Seven-Colored Soul War God.

This was also a contest between the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl and the Soul Refining Banner.

The Seven-Colored Soul War God now met the Blood Saber, unleashing a strike of its own.

One strike, and the world trembled, as seven colors illuminated the age.

One strike, and all things were sundered, reduced to nothingness.

PFFT!

The giant blood-humanoid was sliced clean in two. It then dissipated, reverting to a blood-colored pearl that fell into the Demon Hall Master’s hand.

After annihilating the giant blood-humanoid, the Seven-Colored Soul War God also transformed into a flash of Seven-Colored light and vanished into the Soul Refining Banner in Jiang Jichen’s hand.

And so, in the battle between the Soul Refining Banner and the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl, the banner had achieved a decisive and easy victory.

Jiang Jichen, holding the Soul Refining Banner, did not pause his steps, appearing before the Demon Hall Master in an instant.

"No, how could my Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl possibly lose?"

"Impossible! Impossible! I can’t accept this!" the Demon Hall Master screamed.

But Jiang Jichen raised the Soul Refining Banner and swept it out fiercely.

CRACK!

The Demon Hall Master’s physical body instantly shattered, and his soul floated out.

At this moment, it thrashed about wildly, trying to escape.

But before Jiang Jichen could act, the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl suddenly erupted with a bloody light that wrapped around the Demon Hall Master’s soul.

The next moment, the Demon Hall Master’s soul was enveloped by the bloody light.

No matter how it struggled or roared, it could not break free.

It was ultimately absorbed completely by the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl.

As soon as it absorbed the Demon Hall Master’s soul, the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl transformed into a streak of bloody light and tried to tear through the void to escape.

Clearly, after absorbing so much resentful, demonic, and sanguine aura, the Resentful Spirit Blood Pearl had become sentient.

However, how could it possibly have a chance to escape from Jiang Jichen?

A casual sweep of the Soul Refining Banner drew it into the flag’s folds.

Thus, the Demon Hall Master was vanquished, and the Sixth Layer Holy Hall of the Holy Mountain had been conquered by Jiang Jichen.
