Chapter 798: Chapter 481: A Hundred Thousand Banners Beheading Yama!
“Very well, let Yama witness this!”
Chen Yuan’s lips curled into a faint cold smile as he directly took the long brocade box he had been carrying on his back into his hands. Without uncle Zeng’s painting, today facing the assassination by the fourth Yama from the Seven Killings Hall, the Asura Demon Lord would have made an appearance.
In spite of having to recover for a while afterwards, he was determined to completely eliminate this person here. However, since there were other means, he naturally wanted to try them first.
After all, Uncle Zeng was full of confidence when he mentioned this item.
The strength Uncle Zeng possessed before his cultivation dispersed was something Chen Yuan could almost witness today.
“What is this?”
In the void, the Reincarnation Yama’s gaze immediately fixated on the long box in Chen Yuan’s hand, seemingly a bit solemn.
He had never underestimated Chen Yuan; otherwise, he wouldn’t have inspected every corner within a hundred miles, yet Chen Yuan’s fearless demeanor,
still stirred some ripples in his heart.
What exactly was this young man relying on?
Chen Yuan did not respond to Yama’s question in the void. At that moment, his spirit was entirely focused on the long box. The box was quite ordinary, embroidered with ancient patterns.
“Click…”
Chen Yuan flicked his finger, and the long box automatically opened, revealing the scroll inside. Then, he reached out, casually flicked it, and unfolded the scroll to reveal its true contents.
A three-foot scroll, the pristine scroll contained nothing.
Before Chen Yuan could wonder why his uncle gave him a blank painting, a familiar and ancient voice quickly emanated from the scroll:
“Chen, since you have opened this painting, you must be facing an insurmountable entity at Chen Blood Lake. However, don’t panic. There’s a reason I asked you to resolve your troubles at Chen Blood Lake.”
“Your maternal kin, the elite Chen Family Army, was attacked by the Sima Family here, their blood staining this lake, thus Chen Blood Lake is also Blood Lake! Later, your uncle performed a ritual here and left a contingency, decades ago when I passed by, I noticed something about this place and left a painting—
the very one you hold in your hands!”
“Inside the painting is a Chen Family Battle Flag. You who possess the bloodline of the Chen Family, upon dripping your blood into the painting, can manifest the flag and summon the spirits of over a hundred thousand Chen Family Army to aid you in battle!”
“There’s not much I can do; I can only help you to this extent. Do not disappoint me, nor the spirits of over a hundred thousand Chen Family Army at Blood Lake!”
His voice, ringing like a great bell, echoed in Chen Yuan’s ears, his face showing a solemn expression. He really hadn’t considered this point—Chen Blood Lake, Blood Lake!!!
He had thought the painting might contain Uncle’s full-powered strike during his lifetime or some other miraculous method, never expecting it to hold the spirits of over a hundred thousand Chen Family soldiers.
No wonder his uncle insisted on picking this place for a battle; turns out there was such a miraculous reason.
Thinking back, the information about Blood Lake that he had once learned in the Ascending Immortal Tower referred to the Sima Family’s newly established army that advanced from the Southern Border to protect the King—indeed referring to the Chen Family Army!
Turning to glance at the nearly boundless Blood Lake, Chen Yuan did not hesitate; he pricked his finger, staining the scroll with blood. Subsequently, a dark black battle flag slowly condensed.
On the flag was embroidered a large ‘Chen’ character.
The Array Flag rapidly materialized, and in just a fleeting moment, it revealed its true form. Chen Yuan stared at it, reached out directly for the battle flag within the scroll, and then—
he actually grasped the real object!
Gently tugging, he held the Chen Family Battle Flag in his hands; the original painting, having completely lost its spirit, quickly withered and then turned to flying ash.
“Hmm?”
The Reincarnation Yama in the void didn’t act rashly, watching Chen Yuan remove a flag from a painting with some surprise and curiosity. Materialize the immaterial—
What kind of technique was this?
Was Chen Yuan relying solely on this blood-stained flag?
In his moment of hesitation, Chen Yuan glanced at the huge ghostly mask in the void. Then, turning around to face Blood Lake, he took a deep breath and, with a flag display, shouted:
“I am a blood descendant of the Chen Family, soldiers of the Chen Family Army, awaken!!!”
“Awaken!!!”
The deep voice, carrying the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, boomed like thunder, instantly resounding within ten thousand meters.
Then, sounds of war drums emerged from the void.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
As the three drum sounds ended, a yin wind instantly began to howl around them.
The lake also stirred up ripples accordingly.
Yin Qi filled the sky, enveloping an area of ten thousand meters.
The originally intense yang Qi was immediately overshadowed, and numerous ethereal figures swiftly began to materialize, quickly covering the entire Blood Lake!
Despite their spectral appearance, the figures were exceptionally clear: some wore tattered battle armor, some rode unusual beasts, and Long Spears stood tall with various Chen Family flags being erected.
A terrifying Qi was starting to stir.
“This is…”
Peering through the rolling dark clouds, Reincarnation Yama immediately realized what Chen Yuan intended to do. The thought crossed his mind and the hundred-meter ghost mask dove straight down, attempting to engulf Chen Yuan in one bite.
Yet Chen Yuan showed no fear. His expression solemn, he scanned the boundless spirits of the Chen Family Army. Although their eyes were vacant, he could feel a strange connection.
Taking a step forward, Chen Yuan stood in front of all the spirits, like a commander of the army.
The vacancy in the eyes of the Chen Family Army spirits lifted as they all raised their heads to look at him, seemingly awaiting his command.
