From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 108 Nine Nether Blood Soul Banner
Chen Xuan's pupils glowed faintly, and he had the power to see through all fog and hidden things.

A few miles away, an earth-shaking battle was going on. Heng Gu was fighting against three alone and was not at a disadvantage at all. These four cultivators were all rare strong men in the Daozang realm and had extremely strong combat power.

"Jiang Qinghuang has actually mastered the first move of the ancient fighting technique inherited from Emperor Jiang."

On the mountain, Cui Che stared at the snow-white jade finger that spanned the universe. It was hundreds of feet long, like a flaming mountain range pressing down. Brilliant runes flowed on the fingertips, directly commanding Heng Gu that was dancing with the Human Emperor Banner.

Cui Che had the ability to participate in the battle, but because he took the initiative to avoid suspicion, he just waited on the periphery and did not take action.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Cui Che suddenly focused his eyes and found that when Heng Gu was in danger of being locked by Jiang Qinghuang's secret method, he actually turned his head and looked in his direction with a look of horror and fear.

What is Heng Gu doing?
"Boom!"

Jiang Qinghuang's jade finger pressed down, and endless runes erupted, even the void collapsed under its weight. This was a blow no less powerful than that of a cauldron furnace. The earth rumbled and trembled. Heng Gu was forced to retreat to defend, once again mired in the battle, unable to attend to other matters.

"What is Heng Gu looking at?"

Cui Che was puzzled. He followed Heng Gu's gaze and saw a familiar figure. "Is it him?"

Chen Xuan stood on the treetop, his eyes intense and focused as he stared at Heng Gu's back. His breathing became slightly rapid and disordered, as if he was shocked by the fighting power Heng Gu displayed...

The gaze was so intense that Heng Gu, the person involved, felt a chill down his spine and immediately realized something was wrong.

But others don't see the problem.

Not only Cui Che, but also some other top-level Taoist monks who were paying attention to the battlefield and had keen perception, also looked in Chen Xuan's direction with confusion.

No one noticed anything was wrong.

Chen Xuan was multitasking, forcing his mind to activate while controlling his body, behaving normally. To outsiders, he was just an ordinary cultivator who was paying close attention.

But Heng Gu was in the middle of a fierce battle, so it was impossible for him to look at Chen Xuan for no reason. There must be something hidden.

"It's that Chen Xuan, the chosen one of destiny by the Southern Wilderness. [Human Emperor Banner] Heng Gu glanced at him, and there was something wrong with his eyes. Did Chen Xuan secretly attack Heng Gu?" A cultivator from an aristocratic family exclaimed in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

"Didn't you see what Chen Xuan did? Besides, didn't he refuse Her Royal Highness the Princess's offer? How could he be qualified to participate in the siege of the Human Emperor Banner?"

Some monks were talking in low voices with the tribesmen around them, discussing a lot.

The news that Chen Xuan rejected Jiang Qinghuang by the Little Stone Lake had spread widely, and many aristocratic families had seen the fact that Chen Xuan was completely bound to the Mountain Ghost Queen of the Southern Wilderness and would not switch to other forces.

After all, Jiang Qinghuang's offer was high, even willing to give up the ancient "Phoenix Sutra." How was this any different from simply letting Chen Xuan become a member of the Jiang family? As long as Chen Xuan agreed, he would definitely be fully trained by the Jiang family in the future.

However, Chen Xuan directly rejected Jiang Qinghuang and ignored the huge temptation that fell from the sky.

This decisiveness and persistence made all those who knew about it feel regretful and sad. At the same time, many people secretly admired Chen Xuan's character... After all, it was Nanhuang who recognized the gem and protected Chen Xuan from Qinglu Mountain.

"We have failed to live up to Her Royal Highness the Princess's kindness. Unless something unexpected happens in today's siege, Chen Xuan will just have to watch like the rest of us!" A cultivator from an aristocratic family said coldly.

The thousand-year-old family is not easy to mess with. After hearing the shocking prophecy of [Tian Yan Dao], they naturally will not wait to die.

Many noble families joined forces and wanted to directly eliminate the threat of the [Human Emperor Banner]...Human Emperor Banner, this legendary divine artifact appeared, who wouldn't be jealous!
After all, even Cui Che was wondering: "Taking away the Human Emperor Banner means taking away Heng Gu's destiny, so he can replace him."

However, the Jiang family declared their sovereignty and led the Demon Suppression Division to take action. Jiang Qinghuang even gave up chasing the Dragon Girl halfway. This strong attitude of wanting to have the best of both worlds forced the other families to bow their heads.

"Buzz!"

Chen Xuan forced himself to activate his heart fast, his pupils trembling as if burned by fire, tears about to flow out, he stared at Heng Gu's back, trying to see through the hidden destiny.

"Hmm? Something's wrong. The destiny doesn't just lie with Heng Gu."

Chen Xuan sensed something strange. An endless and bizarre scene appeared in front of him, which was difficult to see clearly. So, he shifted his gaze slightly and fell on the Human Emperor Banner held by Heng Gu. At this moment, the magnificent picture of destiny finally became completely clear.

"The combination of Heng Gu and the Human Emperor Banner is the true destiny!"

……

……

The purple sky dried up and the pillars of heaven collapsed.

A dim golden sun hung in the sky, like a golden elixir in the belly of an immortal as recorded in ancient texts. Its surface was covered with cracks, and bright red blood was dripping from the cracks, like a patter of blood rain.

"Wow!"

Chen Xuan looked down following the blood drops dripping from the sky and found himself standing on a bronze altar.

The altar is as big as a lake, with bronze bricks as the road, dividing it into five areas, filled with five-colored soil: green, red, yellow, white, and black. There is an ancient and vast atmosphere in the air.

"Is this the ancient altar for offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and mountains?"

Chen Xuan thought to himself and looked down at his hands. This was the fourth destiny he had entered. Now his soul had been greatly enhanced again.

The soul and body had almost solidified into a solid entity, no longer translucent and illusory. The blood vessels and bones in the body were completely invisible, and the skin was very solid. It emitted a hazy white light and was almost identical to the mortal body.

"If I were to enter the destiny of different destiny holders a few more times, I wouldn't need to borrow the Human Emperor Banner to increase my spiritual power. I could directly cultivate in this world through 'spiritual separation'."

Chen Xuan sighed with a smile, then looked into the distance with a serious expression: "What is that? A ruin?"

Outside the bronze altar, a thin flowing mist obscured a ruin, with corpses piled up like mountains and blood and bones forming a forest. Further away, there was a vague mountain-like shadow, shaped like an old turtle, with a large number of collapsed remains of fairy palaces and buildings on its shell, which was a spectacular sight.

Not only in front, but also in the other three directions, there are huge shadows hidden in the distance, crawling motionless, like the lifeless corpse of a dragon, the skeleton of a phoenix, and the body of a tiger, vivid, huge and majestic.

"Dead, all of them died a long time ago."

Chen Xuan stared at the outlines of those huge objects for a long time, and got goose bumps all over his body. Then he turned around and looked at the center of the bronze altar.

"Human Emperor Banner!"

He fixed his eyes and saw the real Human Emperor Banner.

The Human Emperor Banner stood at the center of the altar, more than ten feet tall. Its tattered surface fluttered in the windless air. Embroidered on the dark brocade were the twenty-eight constellations, resembling a flowing galaxy. The pole was forged from meteorite iron, its handle inlaid with human bone relics. Atop the banner hovered the eternal flame of chaos, and deep within the flames slumbered the shadow of an ancient warrior spirit.

Blood beads fell from the sky and turned into thousands of scarlet lines, spreading wildly along the paths of the twenty-eight constellations on the banner.

"Buzz!"

The relics on the flagpole burst out with dazzling golden light one after another, illuminating the entire altar and the entire ruins as bright as day, and an aura like the mighty power of heaven filled the air.

"The Human Emperor..."

Chen Xuan saw two ancient seal characters appear on the banner. They were written in a flamboyant style, upright and righteous, emitting a brilliant light of humanity. They were extremely inconsistent with the bloody environment around them, and the contrast was very obvious.

He frowned, feeling extremely out of place. He stared at the banner, and suddenly, his eyes blurred.

The word "Human Emperor" on the banner twisted and disappeared, and then five bloody characters appeared, like horrifying bloody handprints, continuously dripping sticky blood.

"Nine Nether Blood Soul Banner!"

Chen Xuan was shocked when he saw the five big words clearly. Is this the true appearance of the Human Emperor Banner?
It is not the banner of the Human Emperor who controls humanity.

But it is the Nine Nether Blood Soul Banner that is full of evil spirit!

But the next moment, these big words disappeared, and the words "Human Emperor" appeared on the banner again, emitting golden light, bringing the only light to this cold and gloomy area.

"boom!"

Under the banner, a figure was kneeling with his back to Chen Xuan and kowtowing. The dull sound of the collision was extremely harsh in this quiet area.

Chen Xuan frowned when he heard the voice, and his eyes fell on the figure. There was actually a survivor in the destiny of the Human Emperor Banner?
"Who are you trying to scare by playing tricks on me?" Chen Xuan had nothing to be afraid of or worried about. He had long been accustomed to the weirdness and creepiness in destiny. Xinzhai was a higher existence than destiny. Nothing could hurt him. These destinies were not enough!
"Among the destiny, I am the highest!"

"tread."

Chen Xuanlong walked with the gait of a tiger, his feet on the bronze road, and quickly walked towards the kneeling figure who was kowtowing slowly at a certain frequency. Then, he saw the profile of this figure clearly.

Heng Gu!

"boom!"

Blood rained down as Heng Gu's soul and body knelt on the bronze altar, kowtowing to the towering Human Emperor Banner. The scene was horrifying.

He was wearing tattered clothes stained with blood, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was haggard, and he looked dull and lifeless.

"Cuckoo..."

Heng Gu made a hoarse, harsh and unpleasant sound from his throat, and suddenly stopped kowtowing. He slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Xuan, his blood-red eyes glowing with a faint light.

"Who are you—" Heng Gu stared at Chen Xuan coldly.

"What are you?"

Chen Xuan frowned and asked, "How could this Heng Gu's spirit not recognize him? They had clearly met once before... No, this wasn't Heng Gu's spirit!"
Maybe it is the spirit deity of the Human Emperor Banner, or perhaps some other more mysterious existence, but it is definitely not Heng Gu.

There is actually a monster hidden within Heng Gu's destiny!

"brush!"

The monster that looked like Heng Gu suddenly flew up, and its five fingers emitted a sharp arc of light, like a sharp knife, slashing towards Chen Xuan's throat!
"Crack!"

A hand stretched out like thunder and grabbed Heng Gu's wrist. Wisps of black smoke seeped out from between the fingers. With just one grab, it almost broke it.

Chen Xuan's face tilted out from behind his palm, revealing half of his dark face.

"Besides destiny, you are a high-level Taoist monk, so I'll give you three points."

Chen Xuan's lips and teeth moved slightly, and almost at the same time, his other big hand reached out, grabbed Heng Gu's withered and ugly face, and lifted him up. A large amount of black smoke rushed out from Heng Gu's distorted face.

"Who the hell are you after entering the Heaven's Fate?"

"Crack!"

Chen Xuan easily broke Heng Gu's wrist. At the same time, his fist shot out like a cannonball, punching a large hole in Heng Gu's chest that was hanging in the air, allowing light to see through from front to back.

At the beginning, when he had just started practicing and entered the Six Desires Heaven, he was able to smash Yan Yushu, who was in the third level of Yuhua Heaven, into ashes. The Four Heavenly Kings of the Six Desires turned a blind eye to his wanton behavior. Later, when he entered Liu Jiao's destiny of longevity, he casually scolded it, and the strange thing that looked like a smiling human face hidden in the moon retreated, and it dared not continue to peek.

Now, he came to the Human Emperor Banner's destiny, and this monster that looked like Heng Gu not only did not run away, but also dared to take the initiative to attack him. It was really bold!

"Ah! This is the place where I, the immortal, live!"

Heng Gu screamed miserably, and with his only remaining hand he frantically pulled at Chen Xuan's increasingly powerful palm, trying to break free.

"Who are you? Why are you within the Heng Gu destiny? Tell the truth!" Chen Xuan asked coldly.

"Ah! Immortal, I am an immortal!"

Heng Gu roared sharply, half crazy and half insane, and ignored Chen Xuan's questioning.

Perhaps he understood that even if he confessed, Chen Xuan would not let him go, or perhaps he was just a monster with a simple consciousness, and would only repeat this sentence forever.

"Crack!"

Seeing that he could not get the Heng Gu to speak by force, Chen Xuan suddenly exerted force with his five fingers, bursting out with incredible strength, and directly crushed Heng Gu's head. Heng Gu's body immediately turned into a cloud of black smoke.

"call out!"

The black smoke rose up into the sky at a high speed, penetrated into the dim golden sun above the sky, squeezed into the crack, and disappeared.

"Get away from me! I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Chen Xuan scolded the golden elixir above his head, then took a step forward and walked straight to the Human Emperor Banner to study it.

After a while.

He used his second burst of mental strength towards the "Human Emperor Banner", which might also be the "Nine Nether Blood Soul Banner", his divine weapon.

……

……

Outside, the battle is in full swing.

Heng Gu waved the Human Emperor Banner like an immortal, fighting bloody battles. At the cost of completely destroying a treasure, he successfully resisted Jiang Qinghuang's secret killing move. Although he was still seriously injured, it was not fatal.

"What's the point of having a higher realm than me? After seeing the Human Emperor Banner, you are no different from an ordinary person!"

At the same time, Heng Gu took the opportunity to destroy the soul-protecting artifact of the demon-suppressing master Huo De. Then, with a swipe of the Human Emperor Banner, Huo De immediately turned pale, fell to the ground, twitched twice, and died.

"kill!"

On the other side, Jiang Qinghuang and Xiao Huo attacked together. Xiao Huo relied on the [Bone Spirit Cold Fire] and was not afraid of the attack of the Human Emperor Banner, while Jiang Qinghuang had the feathers of the phoenix to protect himself, resisting most of the effects of the Human Emperor Banner, and could exert 60% to 70% of his strength.

But even without the help of the Human Emperor Banner, Heng Gu is still a leader in the Daozang realm and has extremely powerful combat power.

He responded tit for tat and charged towards the other two. Both sides were furious and it was clear who would win.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, Heng Gu felt a burning sensation in his hand. The Human Emperor Banner emitted an extremely high temperature, as hot as charcoal, causing several blisters to appear in his palm.

"Hiss!" Heng Gu almost missed and threw the Human Emperor Banner out.

"what happened?"

He was puzzled. At such a tense moment of the battle, he encountered such an inexplicable thing. The sudden change made him have bad thoughts!

"Buzz!"

The Human Emperor Banner became hotter and hotter, and vibrated violently, as if it would fly out of Heng Gu's hand in the next moment.

……

……

The Emperor's flag is destined to be destined.

Chen Xuan stroked the pole of the Human Emperor's flag with his fingers, and the burning light in his eyes became brighter and actually began to glow. The brilliant golden beams fell on the Human Emperor's flag, as if to set it on fire and wash away the dust.

Xinzhai opens for the second time.

A deeper picture comes into view.

On the thick flagpole, mottled and faded, its true appearance was revealed, and countless dazzling golden words emerged.

"The True Scripture of the Human Emperor..."

A complete and flawless immortal scripture that can be cultivated to the level of [Tao Hongchen]!
