Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 596 Innate Beings Are Indeed Extraordinary
The movements that were trying to tear everything apart gradually became somewhat stiff.

That soaring, unruly will, under the relentless erosion of the celestial power, the continuous erosion of the eight treasures' radiance, and the refining of the eight scenic clouds that went straight to the essence, was like stubborn iron being repeatedly forged by a heavy hammer. Its internal structure finally began to loosen and change, and then it gradually succumbed.

One day, two days...

Until the fifth day.

When the demonic monkey's fierce spirit tried to gather power to attack again, the entire Star Spirit Banner space suddenly trembled.

At this moment, the illusory images of the stars that occupied various parts of the banner all burst into light, and all the scattered starlight was instantly absorbed as if swallowed by an invisible giant mouth.

The momentum of the golden evil spirit's charge visibly slowed down, and the edge of the golden flame, ignited purely by an indelible layer of cold stardust, became stained.

Ten days later, the stiffness in the demon monkey's movements became more and more pronounced, like a puppet on strings. Every struggle was accompanied by a difficult energy friction, as if the endless Eight Scenery Clouds were constantly pouring into the Star Spirit Banner, causing the banner's surface to bloom with starlight.

Watching the demon monkey inside the banner constantly cursing and showing no sign of pain, Xu Yunfan remained calm, simply using the Star Spirit Banner as a refining furnace to continuously refine the demon monkey.

He is not Laozi, and the Star Spirit Banner is not that alchemy furnace.

Xu Yunfan naturally wouldn't let the demon monkey he had caught escape.

Twenty days later...

The Star Spirit Banner trembled violently.

The world inside the banner was no longer a chaotic jolting, but a heart-pounding, heavy suction.

The illusory images of the stars scattered throughout the banner, regardless of size, all erupted with unparalleled brilliance at the same moment.

All the scattered, leaping energy that dissipated due to the impact was instantly swallowed up by this overwhelming suction force, like rivers flowing into the sea.

The corner of the galaxy formed by the star spirits of Yang Jian, Nezha, and Taiyi Zhenren instantly became clear and transparent. The 365 stars that had been thrown into chaos by the demon monkey subtly replaced the disorder with order at this moment.

The demon monkey's soul, which had been struggling frantically, suddenly froze after a moment of extreme stillness.

The last wisp of flame that tried to struggle was completely extinguished as if by merciless ice water, leaving behind only a lonely golden soul fixed in the void.

Sun Wukong's golden light dimmed slightly. Although it still had a molten gold-like texture, the soaring ferocity and unyielding spirit within him were forcibly broken and crushed under the relentless tempering of the starlight and the Eight Trigrams Clouds, like a heavy hammer forging iron.

A palpable sense of despondency spread, replacing what was once towering and indomitable.

The violent tremors of the Star Spirit Banner finally subsided completely.

Beings born from the very essence of heaven and earth are truly difficult to cultivate.

Xu Yunfan exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and the seven-colored lotus that had been hanging above his dantian transformed into eight light streams of light, dissipating and sinking back into his dantian, transforming into the purest eight-scenery cloud energy.

The surging, majestic clouds surrounding him gradually subsided, revealing his handsome face, which was tinged with a lingering pallor.

He continuously and intensely manipulated the clouds, drawing the Taiyi Divine Firmament Thunder Talisman to suppress this peerless ferocious soul. Even with his solid foundation, his dantian felt a sense of depletion and emptiness.

The immense mana he possessed, aided by the attribute panel, felt almost depleted at this moment.

"It's finally done."

Xu Yunfan's gaze fell on the Star Spirit Banner in his palm, which had become docile and heavy.

With a slight thought, a wisp of divine thought probed into the space inside the banner.

The scene had stabilized, and the stars in the heavens were rearranged, slowly moving along a mysterious trajectory. Occasionally, a meteor-like light would streak through them. This was the manifestation of the cyclical star array that he had specially arranged in the Star Spirit Banner.

Unfortunately, the formation is still incomplete; the complete version is still within the Yuanshi Sect.

After returning this time, the contribution points earned from being the first to reach the summit should be redeemable. Inside the banner, the souls of Yang Jian, Nezha, and Taiyi Zhenren have been connected by the stars and are guarding a corner. Their auras are stable, and although they still carry a trace of lingering fear and fatigue from the previous impact of the fierce power, they have stabilized.

Only at the very core, a golden light floated alone in the farthest corner of the starry sky.

After the demon monkey was completely trained into a banner spirit, it was no longer in its roaring and fighting posture. Instead, it squatted down, hugged its knees with both hands, and buried its dark gold monkey head deep in its arms.

That's considered emo.

It could emerge from breaking Laozi's alchemy furnace back then, but now it has been forcibly refined into a banner spirit by a banner of ten thousand souls, which is truly unacceptable to the monkey.

Once radiant with divine light, its golden eyes, capable of seeing through everything, are now half-closed, leaving only two silent slits.

That unique, innate spirit, which embodied the ultimate arrogance bestowed upon this world by the heavens, has now been shattered, leaving only an empty silence, silently venting unbearable frustration and resentment.

He hates it!
However, having been refined into a banner spirit monkey, the transformative power of the Star Spirit Banner naturally cleansed the demon monkey.

A faint yet incredibly clear fluctuation of will, acknowledging Xu Yunfan's control and admitting defeat, emanated from the shrunken mass of light and shadow.

Xu Yunfan didn't even need to consciously perceive it to know for certain.

This monkey has already acknowledged him as its master.

"Ah…"

Xu Yunfan couldn't help but smile.

The divine sense casually swept over the shrunken golden shadow, without any intention of comforting or persuading it. This monkey only got more excited the more you tried to persuade it; it would be more practical to let time smooth things over.

Immediately, the divine sense withdrew without hesitation.

After all, once you enter this world within the banner, you no longer have control over your own life and death.

Having struggled and failed, the sullenness at this moment is nothing but the useless posture left by the loser, not worth a laugh.

As for erasing one's mind.

For Xu Yunfan, it would be a truly regrettable thing to erase the extraordinary talents of such a unique species, turning it into a puppet that can only fight mechanically.

He also hoped to refine the Star Spirit Banner into a magical treasure.

The Star Spirit Banner flashed and he tucked it deep into his sleeve.

Xu Yunfan looked up at this once solemn and sacred core of the heavens, which was now a scene of desolation and apocalypse.

The vast and boundless palace of clouds was now collapsing and crumbling in large sections, falling continuously downwards.

The once radiant and auspicious Rainbow Bridge and Jade Steps are now broken like withered bones, scattered among the shattered golden and jade tiles.

Deep within the fractured sea of ​​clouds, the very rules of space could be faintly seen beginning to crumble, with enormous cracks stretching across the sky like unhealable sores.

In this desolate realm, several enormous figures, like greedy vultures or gluttonous beasts feasting, were carrying out the most thorough division and plunder.

The most eye-catching figure is, of course, the Pudu Zhenjun, who sits upright in the sky, displaying his Dharma form.

His body was filled with intense magical power, and the flowing light was even thicker than mercury syrup.

The light transformed into countless wriggling threads, deeply penetrating the thickest earth at the core of the celestial realm to absorb the celestial energy.
