Chapter 34 Southern Flame Banner (Combined Chapter)

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, I'll leave the fight against the Netherworld Demonic Cult members here to you and the Pure Yang disciples. I'll go and meet up with Fellow Daoist Taiqing."

Once the formation was broken, Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand to recall the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, and with a flash of light beneath his feet, he headed deeper into the formation.

In a short while, Zhen Yuanzi saw from afar that Taiqing Daoist was being besieged by Cui Wei and Mingjiao, two great supernatural beings. Countless demonic creatures formed from the Nine Netherworld Qi were constantly impacting the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi pointed to the Innate Yin-Yang True Fire on the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit and softly uttered, "Fall!"

The Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire instantly transformed into a sea of ​​fire that swept over, and all the demonic creatures formed from the Nine Netherworld Qi were instantly incinerated by the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire.

"The Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire!"

"Fellow Daoist, your superb abilities are truly remarkable!" Seeing Zhen Yuanzi unleash the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire, which incinerated all the demonic creatures in the air, the Taiqing Daoist immediately spread his Taiqing Immortal Light, enveloping Cui Wei and Ming Jiao.

The dragon roared, and azure flames surged from its body, seemingly rising from the clouds and turning into mist, igniting the ethereal light of the Supreme Purity.

However, the next moment, a beam of pure yang divine light surged out of the sky, and it was Dong Wanggong who had arrived.

"Fellow Daoists, please rest for a moment. I will take care of Cui Wei."

"Cui Wei, do you dare to fight me again!" Dong Wanggong held the Primordial Pure Yang Sword in his hand, its tip pointing at Cui Wei not far away.

Last time, Cui Wei led a group of Netherworld Demon Sect members to besiege Chunyang Cave Heaven on Qingyuan Mountain, causing heavy casualties among the Chunyang lineage disciples and damaging the very essence of Chunyang Cave Heaven.

If Zhen Yuanzi hadn't arrived just in time to save him, Dong Wanggong would probably have perished long ago.

Upon seeing the Eastern King Duke appear, Cui Wei's eyes turned red with rage. "Eastern King Duke, you brat! Today I will kill you here to avenge the destruction of my sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Wei immediately engaged Dong Wanggong in battle.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi said to Taiqing Daoist, "Please go and support Fellow Daoists Yuqing and Shangqing first. This place can be left to me."

"Fellow Daoist, please be extremely careful." Daoist Taiqing revealed a solemn expression and said, "These powerful cultivators of the Netherworld Demonic Sect are extraordinary, seemingly ferocious beasts born at the beginning of time."

When the great god Pangu fell, his body transformed into all things in the universe.

This includes a host of ferocious beasts.

These ferocious beasts were born naturally, and once they took human form and were born, they possessed extraordinary spiritual power and supernatural abilities.

However, unlike the innate gods and demons, the ferocious beasts were born from the evil energy of the fallen god Pangu. They love killing and can cultivate with this evil energy.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist." Zhen Yuanzi nodded.

Immediately, Taiqing Daoist turned and headed towards the direction where Yuqing Daoist and Shangqing Daoist were fighting.

After the Taoist Taiqing left, Zhen Yuanzi looked at the Mingjiao before him and asked with a smile, "Mingjiao, do you recognize this humble Taoist?"

"How could I possibly know a hermit like that!" The azure flames on the Mingjiao's body receded, protecting itself tightly, and it stared warily at Zhen Yuanzi.

"You may not recognize me, but I do recognize you." Zhen Yuanzi stepped forward, glanced at the Mingjiao, and said, "Years ago, I met a Daoist from the Nine Netherworlds. Do you know him?"

Daoist Jiuyou!

Mingjiao's expression suddenly changed. How could he not recognize Daoist Jiuyou!

"Was it you who killed Jiuyou back then?" Mingjiao asked with a gloomy face, his eyes fixed on Zhenyuanzi.

"It is indeed I, Zhen Yuanzi," Zhen Yuanzi admitted with a smile.

"Fine!" The dragon laughed in fury, "Today I'll kill you right here and take back the ninth-grade innate black lotus."

In the past, the Demon Ancestor Rahu sent the Mingjiao to retrieve the Primordial Ninth Grade Black Lotus, and also to avenge the Nine Nether Daoist.

Unexpectedly, the Mingjiao failed to find Zhen Yuanzi and instead pursued him all the way to the southern part of the prehistoric world, where it fought a great supernatural being from the Phoenix Clan. In the end, it returned empty-handed and was reprimanded by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

"It just so happens that I've long wanted to see what kind of skills the disciples of Demon Ancestor Rahu possess!" Zhen Yuanzi's primordial spirit, with its three flowers radiating innate Yin-Yang divine light, was about to descend upon the Mingjiao.

However, before Zhen Yuanzi's innate Yin-Yang divine light could fall, a surge of azure flames erupted around the Mingjiao, and countless innate divine runes emerged, seemingly containing the laws of the Great Dao of Destruction. They merged with the remaining Nine Nether Qi around them, overflowing with boundless divine power.

"Netherworld Demon Body!" The dragon roared, revealing its true form. Like a dragon, its body swelled to tens of thousands of feet tall, its four claws planted firmly on the ground, its head pointing straight to the heavens, and a primordial ninth-grade black lotus faintly appearing between its brows, exuding overwhelming demonic power.

Upon seeing the dragon suddenly reveal its true form, Zhen Yuanzi was startled and exclaimed, "Is this the true form of the Chaos Demon God?"

Whether it's the true form of the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan, or the legendary true form of Pangu.

In reality, they are all considered to be the true forms of the Chaos Demon God.

Of course, the Dharma body of the demon race is a manifestation of the primordial spirit, not a real body.

However, the true form revealed by the dragon before them was similar to that of the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan, all of whom had received the true form of the Chaos Demon God.

The difference is that the Ancestral Witches of the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan possess the bloodline of the Great God Pangu, while the Netherworld Demon True Form of the Mingjiao is a physical supernatural power derived from comprehending the true form of the Chaos Demon God.

"If it is the true form of a Chaos Demon God, I admit that I am inferior."

"But this is merely a Chaos Demon God's true form cultivated from the body of a ferocious beast; I do not take it seriously," Zhen Yuanzi said calmly.

"Arrogant!" Mingjiao roared, "I'll show you the supreme divine power of the Netherworld Demon Body."

"Destruction Lightning, fall!"

The next moment, the dragon opened its huge mouth and spewed out several streaks of dark blue lightning, which turned into bolts of thunder and exuded a rich aura of the laws of destruction as they fell toward Zhen Yuanzi.

Seeing countless bolts of lightning fall, Zhen Yuanzi remained calm and pointed to the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, on his Yuan Shen Three Flowers. Instantly, countless earth-yellow divine lights descended, firmly protecting his body.

Despite the destructive divine lightning bolts falling from the sky, emanating the laws of destruction, they could not harm Zhen Yuanzi in the slightest. In fact, as the divine light of the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, spread out, the lightning gradually began to dissipate.

"Earth membrane!" The dragon's gaze sharpened, its heart filled with rage.

Previously, the Taoist Taiqing relied on the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda to protect himself, which prevented him and Cui Wei from doing anything to him.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi summoned the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, to protect himself, which was like a tortoise shell and could not be broken even by the destructive divine lightning.

A sense of sorrow welled up in Mingjiao's heart. Back then, when he and his companions joined the tutelage of Demon Ancestor Rahu, they were incredibly glorious and fearless, not even the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.

However, after the battle in the Western Regions years ago, the Demon Ancestor Rahu disappeared without a trace, and Mingjiao and his remaining disciples could only hide in the Nine Netherworlds all day long.

It wasn't until the emergence of the Lich and Demon races that he couldn't resist leaving the Nine Nether Lands, intending to compete with the Lich and Demon races for the destiny of the primordial world.

Unexpectedly, not long after its birth, it was besieged by several powerful figures, including Dongwanggong and Zhenyuanzi, each with extraordinary cultivation and supernatural abilities.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi pointed to the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram within the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit, chanting incantations, "Yin and Yang give rise to the Five Elements, the Five Elements generate all things, Innate Yin-Yang Divine Thunder, descend!"

The innate Yin-Yang divine diagram in the three flowers of the primordial spirit changed, and the innate Yin-Yang gave rise to the innate five elements, and then the innate five elements gave rise to fire generating earth, earth generating metal, metal generating water, water generating wood, and wood generating fire, just like the Yin-Yang and five elements at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.

In an instant, the scene in the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram suddenly changed again, transforming into countless black and white lightning bolts that fell towards the enormous body of the Mingjiao, causing it to roar repeatedly in anger.

"How was the taste of my innate Yin-Yang Divine Thunder?" Zhen Yuanzi asked with a smile, looking at the disheveled state of the Mingjiao.

This Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Thunder is a killing technique that Zhen Yuanzi has painstakingly deduced over millions of years, containing the Primordial Yin-Yang Great Dao Law.

"You little brat, don't be so smug!"

"Although my Netherworld Demonic Sect is far weaker than before, it is not something that a few mere Grand Luo Golden Immortals can bully."

"Shangxiang, Fubi, Cuiwei!" the Mingjiao roared to the sky, "Why don't you all quickly join me in setting up the Four Symbols Heavenly Demon Formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of Shang Xiang, Fu Bi, and Cui Wei rang out.

"Ducks and pheasants have taken over the west!"

"Cuiwei has occupied the north!"

"The dragon-like creature has taken over the east!"

"Shangxiang occupies the South!"

Just as their voices rang out, countless demonic energies suddenly surged into the sky, obscuring the endless expanse.

The dense demonic energy intertwined with the energy of the Nine Netherworlds and the turbid energy of the Earthly Fiends, sometimes as black as ink, sometimes a patch of blue and red, boundless and limitless.

In just a moment, Shang Xiang, Fu Bi, and Cui Wei revealed their true forms almost simultaneously, appearing as four enormous ferocious beasts of the heavens, like the four symbols of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, occupying the four directions of east, west, south, and north.

"You intend to set up an array in front of us?"

"This is utterly laughable!"

The Taoist Shangqing laughed heartily, and a divine thunder faintly emerged from the Three Flowers of his primordial spirit. He softly uttered, "Three Pure Immortal Thunder, descend!"

Upon hearing this, a divine thunderbolt shot out from the three flowers of the primordial spirit of Daoist Yuqing and Daoist Taiqing. The three merged in the air, transforming into a golden lightning bolt, carrying traces of the divine might of creation, and fell towards Shangxiang and Fubi.

The Three Pure Immortal Thunders were deduced by the Three Pure Ones based on the incomplete Heavenly Divine Thunders from their respective memories of Pangu's creation of the world. They are Taiqing Immortal Thunder, Yuqing Immortal Thunder, and Shangqing Immortal Thunder. The three combined are the Three Pure Immortal Thunders, which can be considered an incomplete Heavenly Divine Thunder.

That Heavenly Thunder was the thunder technique used by the Great God Pangu to create the world, and its divine power was boundless.

Even the Three Pure Ones' Immortal Thunder is no small matter.

A bolt of golden lightning struck, accompanied by the divine might of creation, as if the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire surged forth, causing Shang Xiang and Fu Bi to roar in unison, "It hurts so much!"

In just a moment, Shangxiang and Fubi's true forms were reduced to nothingness by the Three Pure Ones' Immortal Lightning. It seemed that they were about to perish and their true spirits would be destroyed under the Three Pure Ones' Immortal Lightning.

Hongyun stared in disbelief, thinking to himself, "What an incredibly powerful thunder technique! It seems to contain a trace of divine might from the creation of the world. I wonder how the Three Pure Ones comprehended it."

"What a brilliant lightning spell!"

The Queen Mother of the West gave a praise, and a divine light suddenly shot out from the Three Flowers of Her Primordial Spirit, transforming into a light curtain that swept towards Cui Wei.

"Freeze!" The Queen Mother of the West uttered a soft cry, and Cui Wei's body seemed to be frozen in place, with the surrounding space being squeezed desperately as if it might shatter at any moment.

"Space shattered!" The Queen Mother of the West stretched out her delicate hand and pointed, and the towering body and space shattered instantly, transforming into earth, wind, water, fire, and chaotic energy.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist." Dongwanggong was overjoyed. He merged with the Primordial Pure Yang Sword, becoming one with the sword, and plunged into the earth, wind, water, and fire. He fiercely cleaved Cuiwei's true spirit, directly shattering it into oblivion.

Seeing that the Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West had each unleashed their supreme divine powers, Zhen Yuanzi directly shook the Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, transforming it into a Primordial Yin-Yang Grand Array that enveloped the Mingjiao.

Before the dragon could react, Zhen Yuanzi once again summoned the Yin-Yang Lamp, a primordial spiritual treasure, unleashing a sky full of primordial Yin-Yang True Fire to burn the dragon's Netherworld Demon Body.

"Don't be so smug! When our master returns, he will surely refine your souls into the divine banner, subjecting you to the burning of the Netherworld True Fire day and night, and subjecting you to all the suffering in the world!" the Mingjiao roared in agony within the Innate Yin-Yang True Fire.

Zhen Yuanzi ignored the words of the dragon and continued to wield the Primordial Yin-Yang Lamp, burning the dragon with the extremely domineering Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire.

As for the return of the Demon Ancestor Rahu?

Even if Demon Ancestor Rahu were to regain his full power and return, it is likely that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would have already attained sainthood and would not allow Demon Ancestor Rahu to run rampant!

At this moment, the innate Jia wood spiritual root ginseng fruit tree appeared above Zhen Yuanzi's three primordial spirit flowers, and strands of innate Jia wood energy fell down into the innate Yin-Yang True Fire.

It can be said that wood fuels fire.

This greatly enhanced the divine power of the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire, and in just a short time, it burned the dragon to ashes, leaving no trace of its true spirit.

The next moment, Zhen Yuanzi heard that familiar voice again.

[In the primordial era, the Netherworld Demonic Cult emerged and wreaked havoc upon all living beings, attracting seven powerful beings to eradicate it. You successfully escaped this calamity and received the reward: the Ground-Leaving Flame Banner.]

As soon as the voice fell, a beam of spiritual light suddenly shot out from the Innate Yin-Yang Array and landed in mid-air. It faintly generated countless innate pure energies, gathered countless innate spiritual energies in the array, and the essence of the five innate elements, gradually transforming into a ball of light.

It seems to contain the fusion of spiritual light, and the sprawling of countless true flames.

As time went by, some strange changes occurred, and something gradually emerged, which turned out to be a spirit flag.

This spirit flag has a very peculiar appearance. It is about 1.7 feet long and is dark red in color. It seems to be able to disrupt yin and yang and reverse the five elements.

"Flame Banner Leaping Off the Ground!"

"This is the Southern Flame Banner of the Five Elements and Five Directions!" Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed in surprise.

The five flags representing the five elements in the primordial order are: the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Flag, the Southern Li Earth Flame Flag, the Western Plain Cloud Flag, and the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag.

These are all five innate spiritual flags formed from the broken leaves of the Chaos Green Lotus in the past, which are also innate defensive spiritual treasures.

Among them, the Southern Flame Banner is not only a defensive magical treasure, but it can also disrupt Yin and Yang and reverse the Five Elements.

If the five innate five elements and five directions flags are gathered together, the innate five elements and five directions grand formation can be set up.

This formation contains the Five Elements and Five Directions of the Primordial Heaven, and can also derive the Law of Chaos. Heaven has the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth; Earth has the Five Directions: East, West, South, North, and Center. The two complement each other, and their divine power is supreme.

It can be ranked alongside the Zhuxian Sword Formation, the Zhou Tian Star Formation, and the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.
