...
This Ten Thousand Souls Banner was priced so high because it offered a subsequent evolution pathway for the Soul path—an entire [Netherworld] series. The benefits it brought were unimaginable: mastering ten thousand Souls, reigning supreme over the world.
He already possessed the Destiny system and Time system. The chosen path for the Soul-Calling Banner was the most suitable Soul system, solidifying his subsequent route.
As for evolution points? After slaying a group of ’Beasts,’ his evolution points had soared to over thirty thousand.
There are a total of 179 paths, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner ranks second in price.
Chu Yi looked at the top-ranked evolution path, his eyes burning with desire, yet he secretly lamented. This was a lucky find in the evolution of a Deceit Beast; there was a chance to stumble upon a super path during research.
[Investiture of the Gods (Fragmented)]: Directs a cataclysm of slaughter and punishment, settles merits and virtues, thereby granting the power to confer divinity upon gods. The conferred gods themselves enjoy additional bonus effects. Price: 3,000, Supreme Will *1.
Like the Human King Body, it also required undergoing a trial of disaster and catastrophe.
It is strong indeed, but it’s a trade for one’s life, and I don’t have the materials either.
He had to admit, The creator certainly knows how to spice things up, even bringing out the Investiture of the Gods!
Chu Yi reluctantly tore his gaze away from this Divine, radiant super path, settling on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The King of Soul Beasts can be replaced with the great Soul of the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree.
And the Soul Path Secret Realm... isn’t the ground beneath my feet exactly the cultivation base for ’Beasts’?!
Thanks to the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree. It not only sacrificed itself but also gifted an entire Secret Realm package. Let me just say, thank you, it’s all because of you... Ptooey, ptooey...
Chu Yi lifted one hand. A dazzling white light flickered, like a thin layer of pale white mist, slowly writhing.
Truly worthy of the Destiny system! It always guides me down the correct path!
...
「White Tower.」
When this forbidden existence of the Time system, wielding a Blade of Dusk formed of condensed light and shadow, fell into a disadvantage, yet without warning, slew the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree, the pupils of all the powerhouses present suddenly shrank, their faces filled with disbelief.
By any measure, the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree, blessed by the Nether River, could never have been defeated so thoroughly, nor could it possibly die!
Rooted in the Nether River, it stood in an invincible position. Even if heavily damaged, it would rapidly recover under the Nether River’s protection, unafraid of battles of attrition.
Before its death, it still retained most of its Mighty Power!
Yet, it had suddenly dropped dead! Was this also part of your calculations, King of Black Robes?!
In the image, the grand and imposing, mile-long Flesh and Blood Willow Tree collapsed. The heavens and earth seemed to crumble, and the entire Netherworld trembled, erupting with a majestic, resonant wail. It was an awe-inspiring spectacle!
And a figure bearing wings of dusk, in the posture of a victor, looked down upon this defeated being!
At this moment, all eyes were on him!
A diverse group of Alien Races, who had become his fans, shouted the name of the King of Black Robes. Their instinct to worship the strong filled them with immense goodwill, worship, and awe towards him.
"If it entered a fairytale, it would certainly be a charming character, wouldn’t it?" a Blood Race girl, lying on the table and tapping a silver spoon, asked curiously, her ruby-red, glass-like eyes staring at the figure clad in Sinful Dragon Armor.
As the silver spoon tapped, a faint, pained, and desperate wail, along with a hint of a sweet, metallic aroma, seemed to emanate from the teacup.
The Blood Race members were quite wary.
With this King of Black Robes in there, should we really enter the Divine War? If we enter, won’t we be easily slaughtered?
The various seeds for the Divine War were intensely shaken by the impact of this supreme expert, and they were trembling.
"It slew the Nether River’s forbidden existence, and now it’s burdened with the Nether River’s curse. Who knows what its true purpose is."
"Regardless, let’s wait for the Supreme Council to make a decision first."
"Luckily, we discovered its plot in advance. Otherwise, we would have been a step behind and missed a lot of intelligence."
...
Zhang Yi was apprehensive. The King of Black Robes has appeared two or three times in Yaoguang City. If it has a city-annihilation plan, who could stop it? I hope this forbidden existence doesn’t harbor such a base interest as slaughtering cities.
The other two looked grave. The intelligence about the slaying of the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree had also been uploaded to the Federation, and the threat level once again soared.
One could imagine that after this battle was exposed, a new unstable factor would appear within the Federation—a ticking time bomb, no less.
This Time system forbidden existence could perceive the future, making its capture as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
The best method would be to dispatch at least one Radiant Sun-level Legendary Beast Tamer, set up a deadly trap, and slay it with absolute strength to eliminate future threats.
"Quick, look! It’s making a new move!" Zhang Yi, startled, spoke quickly.
The image, enhanced by the White Tower, zoomed in once again, spying on the actions of the King of Black Robes.
"My God..." the three murmured, stunned into silence.
...
BOOM—
Chu Yi summoned the Soul-Calling Banner. This Deceit Beast, which had reached its level cap, had a staff made of a bone-white dragon’s spine that began to slowly writhe. At its top, a dragon-shaped skull became distinct. It opened its massive maw and inhaled. The Netherworld trembled, and the very air transformed into surging torrents, all flowing into the dragon’s mouth, which then emitted a sound of pleasant chewing.
