Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 479 - The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls (Fake)
"Senior Qian Daoliu, this is no joke."

Chen Ming's expression was very serious.

Although what Qian Daoliu wanted to say was different from what he had expected, Chen Ming still discussed the matter very seriously.

"First of all, Senior Qian Daoliu, my relationship with Qian Renxue is at most that of friends. Although Qian Renxue likes me, I cannot say that I like her."

"Secondly, I already have a fiancée, and all that's left after all these years is the ceremony. We have a great relationship, and I can't let her down."

"Let's not talk about this."

Chen Ming quickly explained his thoughts and reasons, and refused Qian Daoliu's offer.

Looking at Chen Ming's polite refusal, Qian Daoliu sighed helplessly, not knowing how to persuade Chen Ming.

After all, even Qian Renxue herself hadn't made a decision about this matter. He was just worried that his granddaughter might develop mental problems if things continued like this, so he brought it up as an extra concern. He wasn't involved, and since Chen Ming refused, he had no reason to continue pressing the issue.

After omitting the incident, Chen Ming and Qian Daoliu cautiously discussed the events with the Angel God's divine sense, explaining the behavior and actions of Bibi Dong and the Asura God's divine sense bit by bit.

After learning that the Asura God's divine sense would rather sacrifice some divine power to condense a few additional divinely bestowed soul rings than allow the God of Destruction's divine sense to focus on this place, the Angel God had some guesses about the Asura God's mind and understood that the Asura God did not want the other gods in the divine realm to know about his actions.

After examining the divinely bestowed soul ring given by the Asura God, the Angel God gave the same answer as Chen Ming.

These three divinely bestowed soul rings, condensed into crystal cores, were formed from pure divine power and immortal energy. They contained no inherent attributes or any hidden features left by the Asura God. They were no different from the divinely bestowed soul rings she created herself using divine power, and were safe to use.

After carefully placing the three crystal cores representing the divinely bestowed soul rings and deciding who would use them, Chen Ming then discussed the situations of Tang Chen and Tang San. He began secretly making adjustments for the upcoming competition.

Everyone knows that the Spirit Hall team has no chance of winning. Tang San is participating in this tournament to gain luck; victory would be ideal. Even if he doesn't win, if he can still gain some kind of admiration from other spirit masters, he will still have potential luck to draw upon.

To truly defeat him, his reputation must be ruined, and he must be ostracized by the public. Both Heavenly Dou Star Luo and wandering Soul Masters must harbor malice towards him. Only in this way can his special talent for infecting others be rendered ineffective.

However, it's impossible for no one to be completely unaffected. If such a thing were to happen, the Asura God might directly intervene. Therefore, it's necessary to give him some room to maneuver, at least outwardly, a chance for him to turn things around.

Chen Ming took out the Blood Skull Gu and whispered his plan to Angel God's Divine Sense and Qian Daoliu. After hearing Chen Ming's idea, Qian Daoliu remained silent and dared not respond. It was Angel God's Divine Sense who forcibly nodded in approval of this matter, which was considered quite blasphemous by normal people.

Taking advantage of the last bit of time, Chen Ming, under the cover of the Angel God's divine sense, broke into the Star Dou Great Forest, grabbed the 100,000-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider King that had been hiding in a corner, and with a swift stroke, beheaded it.

First, he assisted the evil god's avatar in obtaining its second soul ring. Then, he refined the body of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King into a spear formed from the Demon Tree. Finally, he slaughtered a large group of evil attribute soul beasts that were over ten thousand years old overnight, incorporating their bodies and souls into the spear.

Chen Ming possesses several abilities to manipulate souls and create ghouls, derived from the monster-controlling skills of the ferocious beasts with their long right and left arm bones, and the spirit-controlling abilities of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. These are all abilities capable of modifying and controlling the souls of soul beasts, but Chen Ming has rarely used them. The souls of several evil soul beasts, after being modified and corrupted by the power of evil, have become even more wicked and ferocious, clearly terrifying evil spirits.

To add some atmosphere, Chen Ming also used his spirituality to extract a little power from the souls of these soul beasts, creating some seemingly meaningless but actually powerless little things that were just very fierce and blasphemous, and stuffed them into the spear.

A piece of skin was cut from Queen Medusa's body and connected to the Spear of Sin, transforming it into a large banner exuding a purplish-black aura.

But after thinking for a while, Chen Ming felt that this was not enough.
The Soul-Capturing Token was taken out and hung on the flagpole. The demonic touch from another world was released from the soul guide device. Chen Ming extracted a lot of blood from it and used a portion of its essence to gather on the flag made of Medusa Queen's skin.

Then, Chen Ming added a vitality buff, causing twisted patterns resembling human faces to appear on the flag. This gave the skin, which had been taken from Queen Medusa several years ago, a renewed sense of life.

Seeing Chen Ming's actions, the Angel God almost couldn't resist ordering Qian Daoliu to draw his sword.

That sinister weapon, brimming with evil power, entwined with countless vengeful spirits (atmosphere group), bearing countless distorted faces (again, atmosphere group), a blasphemous weapon imbued with a deathly aura and a twisted life force, made the angel god feel for a moment as if he had dreamt back to his youth, to the era when fallen beings acted with unbridled arrogance.
"No, even the things the Fallen Ones made back then didn't look as evil as this."

"Xiaoming, you need to control yourself. Your future is bright, so please don't go astray!"

The angel god earnestly advised Chen Ming, slightly easing his obsession with the Asura God, and tried his best to persuade Chen Ming not to go astray.

"Don't worry, Angel God senior, I won't go astray."

Chen Ming patted his chest and assured the angel.

"As for this flag, although it's only a temporary modification, it still needs to be given a name."

"Legend has it that the ancient human emperor held a divine banner, with purple energy surging around it, and was able to draw upon the power of heaven and earth. So let's call this banner the Human Emperor Banner."

"There was no human emperor in ancient times, and this name is really inappropriate." As an ancient relic, the angel god immediately jumped out to correct him.

"Good, good, the Myriad Soul Banner. It just so happens that I also had the alias 'Ten Thousand Ghosts Douluo' before."

Chen Ming pinched his left leg, and as if he had thought of something, the smile on his face became increasingly grotesque.

"The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, the Blood Skull Gu, hehehehehe."

"Tang San, since you've become a Fallen One, I'll lend you a hand. Anyway, Fallen Ones are all trash, so let's use your hands to gather this trash together and clean it up." Chen Ming thought to himself, already preparing to give Tang San and his son a big surprise.
