Chapter 621 - 174: Refining the Golden Body with Geng Metal Evil Qi, Ghost Bone Old Demon’s Killing Intent Arrives
"Whew—"
Chu Fan exhaled a ragged breath, his face pale.
This Ten Thousand Souls Banner was truly tyrannical!
The consumption of Primordial Qi was immense, and it required a vast Divine Sense to serve as its foundation.
Fortunately, Tang Yu, who was at the Bright Heart Realm, was behind him, continuously transferring her Primordial Qi.
He had already reached the second layer of the Vajra Undying Body, the Glazed Heart Fire, and was further enhanced by the Spirit Array Map of the Demon Dragon Celestial Spirit Scripture.
Otherwise...
Chu Fan took a breath and said in a low voice, "Keep going. Don’t stop!"
"Don’t worry about whether my Qi Sea and meridians can withstand it. Just keep sending the Primordial Qi!"
Tang Yu’s heart trembled. She answered solemnly, "Yes!"
She was utterly horrified, completely unable to understand.
Chu Fan was clearly only at the Third Heaven of the Divine Power Realm. How could his Qi Sea and meridians withstand the impact of Primordial Qi at the level of the Bright Heart Realm?
...
Inside the All-Seeing Mirror’s Mirror Image Space, Chu Fan voraciously absorbed Tang Yu’s Primordial Qi while his hands danced rapidly, unleashing a continuous stream of Restriction Techniques.
He constantly activated the Netherworld Soul Refining Technique!
Within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, a gloomy world existed unto itself.
Boundless, gray mist filled the space, and within it writhed the twisted, pained silhouettes of souls.
At this moment, however, this land of silent death was in complete turmoil.
Although the Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division was bound by chains and its Soul Body was dim, its ferocious might was far beyond what the ordinary Resentful Souls within the banner could ever hope to match.
Even at a disadvantage, the Soul Division continued to roar without end.
Waves of tyrannical Soul Power spread out like a storm, shattering the approaching malevolent ghosts and causing them to let out shrill wails.
"Ant! How dare you humiliate me!"
The Ancestor’s Soul Division roared as its Soul Body suddenly swelled, trying to snap the Netherworld chains forged by the Netherworld Soul Refining Technique and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The chains rattled, their light flickering erratically, clearly under immense strain.
Outside the banner, Chu Fan’s face grew a shade paler, but his gaze was as sharp as a blade.
His hands formed seals even faster as he snarled, "Old monster, accept your fate! There’s no escape for you today!"
Following his command, black clouds gathered in the void above the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and lightning flashed as thunder rumbled!
Immediately after—
"CRACKLE!"
A massive bolt of black lightning struck down, landing heavily upon the Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division!
The Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division screamed miserably. The black mist of its once-solid soul began to dissipate, looking as if it was about to fall apart!
But outside the banner, Chu Fan and Tang Yu’s faces both turned pale in unison!
That single bolt of black lightning had consumed more than half of their Primordial Qi!
If a few more bolts like that were needed, they would likely collapse before the Ancestor’s Soul Division was destroyed!
"Wuaargh!"
Inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Zhang Family Ancestor saw the situation was dire and began to struggle even more fiercely!
Chu Fan gritted his teeth. With a slight movement of his left hand, he opened a channel in the Mirror Image Space and called out, "Mo Yunzi, come in!"
A figure flashed, and Mo Yunzi instantly teleported into the Mirror Image Space.
Without waiting for Chu Fan’s instructions, she strode forward and pressed both her palms against Tang Yu’s back!
With the help of Mo Yunzi, who was in the Acupoint Realm, Chu Fan and Tang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But continuing like this was not a long-term solution.
Chu Fan’s brows were tightly furrowed.
If the three of them joined forces and spent a few more hours, they could naturally achieve the Refinement of the Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division.
But that old monster knew his doom was approaching. How could he possibly surrender without a fight?
With his crazed struggles, more than half of the souls within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner would likely be lost.
And the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was Chu Fan’s bonded Magical Treasure; if that happened, he too would suffer a grievous injury!
After a moment of contemplation, a slight change came over Chu Fan’s expression.
The next moment, inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, endless black mist surged and condensed into a giant—an illusory image of Chu Fan!
"A pewter spearhead polished to look like silver—all flash and no substance!"
Seeing this, the Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division snorted in disdain. "You and Tang Yu working together? Can you even harm me in the slightest?"
"Once you two run out of Primordial Qi, it will be your time to die!"
The giant Chu Fan, however, said nothing. He simply raised his left hand slowly.
RUMBLE!
The black mist roiled, unexpectedly condensing into a greatbow!
Then, Chu Fan’s right hand drew back the bowstring, and an arrow forged from the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner materialized out of thin air!
"You..."
The Zhang Family Ancestor’s mind shook as he recalled the scene of his soul being torn apart by Chu Fan’s arrow before!
An attack of this magnitude was nowhere near as powerful as the black lightning bolt from before.
But if that arrow contained the same bizarre, soul-rending Powerful Qi as before...
"No..."
The Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division was panic-stricken!
But he was bound by those chains and suppressed by the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. At this moment, whether he wanted to dodge or flee, both were impossible!
WHOOSH!
In the blink of an eye...
The giant arrow, wreathed in black mist, tore through the air and instantly pierced the Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division!
The power of this arrow was far inferior to the black lightning from before.
However, the moment the arrowhead pierced the Soul Division, the Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division let out a hysterical scream!
"Aaaargh!"
Amidst the scream, the enormous, chained soul silhouette was actually torn in two!
The auras of both halves of the soul silhouette plummeted in unison!
’It really works...’
Inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the giant Chu Fan didn’t pause for a moment, once again drawing his bow and nocking an arrow!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Arrows flew out in rapid succession!
These arrows had the lowest cost, yet they carried the three deadly properties of Soul-splitting Godslayer, Breaking Gang, and Annihilation!
Each arrow tore another piece from the Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division!
In the blink of an eye, the Soul Division had been torn into more than ten soul fragments!
It was comparable to a Divine Weapon!
"Devour them for me!"
Within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Chu Fan’s phantom roared like a king issuing a decree!
The main soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which had been lying in wait, instantly erupted with a violent and cruel aura, like an ancient Fierce Beast awakening!
This main soul had grown to its current state only after devouring countless Fierce Souls. Because it was far inferior to the Zhang Family Ancestor’s Soul Division, it had lain in wait under Chu Fan’s command.
Now that the Ancestor’s Soul Division had been reduced to fragments, it was time for it to show its might!
The main soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was enormous. Its Soul Body was so solid it was nearly tangible, and its face was a blur.
Only its boundless, giant mouth and its countless soul-arms, writhing like tentacles, were clearly visible!
At Chu Fan’s command, the main soul let out a shriek that shook the space within the banner and pounced directly on a soul fragment!
Unlike the other Resentful Souls that tore blindly at their prey, it opened its giant mouth. A powerful suction force enveloped the soul fragment, while its countless soul-arms wrapped around it like a great python, constricting tightly and frantically draining its Soul Power!
