Chapter 594 What a Dark Myth: The Fierce Monkey

Xu Yunfan no longer hesitated and said, "Lead the way immediately."

Yang Jian is not unreasonable. Now that he has been twisted and cleansed by the banner spirit, besides hoping that more people in the heavenly realm can leave and that there may be a chance for them to be reshaped in the future, he also naturally has a loyal intention.

Xu Yunfan naturally understood Yang Jian's thoughts, and felt a slight chill run down his spine at the sight of the Myriad Souls Banner—no, the Star Spirit Banner.

No wonder the Myriad Soul Banner was considered one of the must-have magic treasures by the Primordial Sect. Not only does it have considerable growth potential, but it also contains various mysteries.

Cleansing and educating the spirit of the banner, and only honoring the banner master, is the basic operation.

As Xu Yunfan desired, the Star Spirit Banner in his sleeve hummed, its dark light intensifying, transforming into a deep stream of light that pierced through the void, like a wound torn open in the night, pointing directly to the west.

Then he transformed into a beam of light and followed closely behind.

The scenery along the way was a complete apocalypse.

As time went by, the essence of this world gradually dried up. The ruins of the magnificent palace, as majestic as a mountain, lay on the dried-up and broken immortal river. The once vibrant immortal mountain was drained of all its vitality by an invisible force, turning into huge, withered stones.

The starry sky reflected above was no longer dazzling and beautiful, but rather like thick, disgusting blood and tears, pulled by an invisible force, surging chaotically into the bottomless abyss of darkness.

The devouring power of the laws from the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm became increasingly clear, echoing in the spiritual realm like the ear-piercing sound of a giant beast gnawing on bones.

It has a somewhat modern Cthulhu style.

Xu Yunfan silently withdrew his gaze and focused his mind.

The aura emanating from the Heavenly Devourer is of a very high level; if you look at it too much, you'll easily get caught up in it.

In just two or three hours, a towering black cliff suddenly came into view on the desolate and barren land ahead.

Its shape is ferocious and bizarre, with five peaks pointing skyward like fingers, as if it were the hand of a giant deity struggling to emerge from the depths of the earth, about to tear the sky apart.

Its entire body was dark and heavy, gleaming with a cold, metallic light, and exuding a heavy aura that suppressed everything. It was the Five Finger Cliff in the West.

Deep within that giant, interlocking hand, a faint yet tenacious aura, like molten lava from the earth's core, emanated from its very core.

Violent!

unyielding!

A wildness that seems to want to pierce the heavens!
Though its breath was faint, it was like an inextinguishable spark, stubbornly leaping in the frigid wasteland.

Xu Yunfan's eyes flickered slightly, and with the interaction of their auras, he naturally knew that he had come to the right place.

He slowly lowered his body, his true power quietly circulating, and the protective aura formed by his magic power isolated the fierce evil energy permeating the bottom of the cliff.

Look intently.

In the enormous, interlaced, cage-like darkness, a small clump of remaining monkey hair resembled a scorched flame.

Half of the hairy head, almost buried in dust and stone chips, was held up with difficulty. The two golden eyes, which were once as bright as the sun, were now as dim as two pieces of embers buried deep in the ground, but deep inside, a stubborn fire still burned.

The corners of his mouth were congealed with blood and solidified stone fragments. Each struggle stirred the remaining golden light of the Buddha seal, and that light, like a red-hot branding iron, hissed and scorched the remaining skin and bones.

Those eyes, filled with an untamed wildness, stared intently at Xu Yunfan as he landed.

Xu Yunfan raised his eyebrows slightly.

What a wicked monkey! He has quite a temper!

A hoarse, low growl, like a broken bellows, mixed with the sound of bones shifting and grinding, squeezed out of the monkey's mouth and throat.

"Where did this filthy insect come from, daring to bother your Grandpa Sun?"

Each word uttered was accompanied by a slow, agonizing erosion of his remaining body and soul by the golden light of the Buddha's seal, causing his aura to dim further. Yet, the fierceness of his will seemed to be honed to a sharper edge.

Xu Yunfan said leisurely, "I didn't expect that the restriction left behind by the Buddha Tathagata after his death would have such extraordinary power."

Seeing the ferocious gaze of the demon monkey, Xu Yunfan moved his feet around it, which made the monkey even more irritable.

"What a ferocious monkey! Even in such a state, it still possesses such ferocity." Xu Yunfan was even more shocked than when he heard Yang Jian's account.

He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

It seems this monkey is more inclined towards the dark mythological version of Sun Wukong.

After all, it's quite normal for things in this celestial realm to seem plausible but actually different, with slight discrepancies leading to vastly different outcomes.

"Would you surrender to me, and I will rescue you?"

Upon hearing Xu Yunfan's words, the demon monkey grinned, revealing a pair of sharp teeth, and chuckled.

"You bird! When I, Old Sun, come out, I will beat you to a pulp!"

"What an arrogant monkey! Looks like I really need to teach you a lesson."

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he no longer hesitated.

The immense divine power of the late Foundation Establishment stage surged forth like a bursting dam, pouring into the Star Spirit Banner in his sleeve.

"The celestial stars, capturing spirits and locking souls! Take them in!"

He silently exclaimed to himself.

hum!
The banner trembled violently!

Ten thousand points of starlight suddenly lit up, instantly converging on the banner surface into an extremely refined silver-white line of fire.

This spark seemed to carry an aura of annihilation that could burn everything, ignoring all obstacles and piercing straight into the dark golden depths of the demon monkey's eyes, where the remnant soul's essence lay hidden.

The Star Spirit Banner unleashed its overwhelming and soul-capturing power.

However, the moment the divine sense touched that cluster of remaining soul fire...

boom! ! !
An unstoppable, fierce will, unruly to the very core, erupted like a volcanic eruption that had been dormant for millennia.

It was nothing like a remnant soul that had been imprisoned and worn down for thousands of years; rather, it was like a fierce god in his prime who had been provoked.

That will, formless and intangible, was like thousands of red-hot needles, flowing upstream along the divine thought channel he had extended, and fiercely stabbing at the Star Spirit Banner in Xu Yunfan's hand, causing the banner to rattle and rustle, which surprised Xu Yunfan.

"Hey!!"

A deafening roar, like a lingering grievance from the ancient wilderness, swept outwards with boundless hatred and disdain.

"You think you can capture your grandfather's soul with this sinister, tattered banner?! Bah!"
Even if I'm reduced to ashes and my soul falls into the deepest hell, I, Old Sun, will never be a lackey of you, you evil heretic! Get out of here!!

The thoughts surging from the remnant soul were as frenzied as a quenched blade, almost as if they were about to cleave through the protective aura in front of him.

Xu Yunfan was not surprised at all; on the contrary, he was even more delighted.

"Very good, very good. If we make you the main spirit tablet of the Star Spirit Banner, it will surely elevate my Star Spirit Banner to a higher level."

Who knows, at that point, I might not even need to lift a finger against the enemy. I could just shake the Star Spirit Banner, summon this monkey, and quickly end the battle.

comfortable!
"Stubborn."

Xu Yunfan lowered his eyes, his internal magical power surging.

"You have no choice now."

Then, Xu Yunfan's hand seals changed swiftly like lightning.

"The Eight Views of Xuandu: Refining Heaven's Creation, Opening the Cloud Book Cave, Holding the Body, Holding the Weapon."

Within the dantian, the eight scenic clouds, which had been nurtured for a long time and were almost like a sea of ​​clouds connecting the sky and the earth, were no longer held back, just like a volcano that had been dormant for hundreds of millions of years was completely awakened.

Eight-colored clouds surged and roared, neither smoke nor fire, and not belonging to the five elements of the mortal world. Within them, they refined the universe and reshaped it.
