“Human brat, how dare you provoke our Kui Phoenix Clan? You must be tired of living!”
The strong cultivator of the Kui Phoenix Clan crawled up from the ground, covered in dirt and rubble.
They, the proud warriors of the Kui Phoenix Clan, could not simply be bullied by a mere human cultivator!
“Phoenix Flame Burst!”
The Kui Phoenix Clan expert’s fist carried the spiritual fire of their clan as it smashed toward Lu Changsheng, causing the surrounding forests to evaporate from the heat of the flames.
Lu Changsheng met the attack with his own fist, his Invincible Gang Qi protecting him fearlessly against the Phoenix flames.
Their fists clashed, and the Kui Phoenix Clan warrior gritted his teeth as the massive force nearly broke his arm.
Su Wudi’s self-created “Invincible Divine Skills,” capable of cultivating Invincible Gang Qi, proved remarkably effective.
Lu Changsheng was able to fight the Kui Phoenix Clan expert with full freedom and confidence.
The two Divine King Realm combatants battled fiercely, their fists connecting directly, reducing the surrounding forests to dust.
“Miss, should we take this chance to escape?”
“I heard the Kui Phoenix Clan’s Young Sect Leader is extremely cruel. If we’re taken to their clan, our fate will undeniably be bleak. It’s better to escape now.”
“No! If the Kui Phoenix Clan’s envoy wins, and we flee, the Kui Phoenix Clan will definitely obliterate our Lark Clan.”
The daughter of the Lark Clan’s leader bit her lip lightly, torn by hesitation. This was the perfect chance to escape, but their tribal obligations made them reluctant to act rashly.
Boom!
As the young women of the Lark Clan hesitated, the Kui Phoenix Clan expert was struck down by Lu Changsheng and crashed heavily to the ground once more.
The Nether Flame Sword was summoned from the Nine Heavens, piercing the Kui Phoenix Clan expert’s body and destroying his Demon Core.
Lu Changsheng then brandished the Myriad Demons Banner.
He killed the Kui Phoenix Clan expert for two reasons: the grievances of the past and to test the capability of the Myriad Demons Banner.
Lu Changsheng waved the banner, and the demonic qi surged forth.
The Primordial Spirit of the Kui Phoenix Clan expert was extracted and absorbed into the Myriad Demons Banner.
Deprived of his Three Souls and Seven Spirits, the Kui Phoenix Clan expert became nothing but an empty shell.
After the banner consumed the Primordial Spirit, an overwhelming amount of demonic qi flooded into the Myriad Demons Banner, condensing into a Kui Phoenix totem at its center.
Lu Changsheng could sense the dormant Primordial Spirit of the Kui Phoenix Clan expert inside the banner. Though weaker than in life, it still possessed the combat power of a Ninth Grade Divine King.
“So this is the purpose of the Myriad Demons Banner.”
Lu Changsheng finally understood the true use of the Myriad Demons Banner.
The Myriad Demons Banner could nurture the Primordial Spirits of myriad clans from the Demon Realm. In battle, it could be wielded to command the demons to lay waste to the enemy ranks.
In some ways, the Myriad Demons Banner was an extraordinarily powerful magical treasure.
If the banner nurtured billions of Demon Race Primordial Spirits within, its deployment would summon countless demons to assist in battle, creating a grand, overwhelming display greater than any other magical treasure.
However, not all demon Primordial Spirits were suitable for absorption.
Excessive slaughter would harm one’s karmic merits.
Killing too many members of the Demon Race would also draw the attention of the Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm harbored many formidable beings.
Chief among them was the reigning Demon God overseeing the Demon Realm.
The Ancient Demon God had been slain in the distant past by the combined efforts of ancient human emperors. Though the current Demon God was weaker than the Ancient Demon God, he remained far beyond Lu Changsheng’s capacity to confront.
“What kind of magical treasure is this?”
“How could he casually extract the Demon Race Primordial Spirit of the Kui Phoenix Clan expert? This should require a secret technique!”
“Who in the world is he? Not only did he kill a member of the Kui Phoenix Clan, but he also stripped away their Primordial Spirit and absorbed it into the Daoist Banner. His audacity knows no bounds!”
The young women of the Lark Clan stared in shock.
A powerful expert of the Kui Phoenix Clan was utterly defeated, reduced to mere prey, with even his Primordial Spirit taken away.
Who exactly was this man who dared act so brazenly?
After figuring out the Myriad Demons Banner’s function, Lu Changsheng swept up the corpse of the Kui Phoenix Clan expert along with all the treasures he carried.
The slain expert was a Demon Race Divine King Realm warrior.
The corpse of such a powerful warrior could be refined into a Divine King Realm puppet.
Lu Changsheng considered this a form of resourceful utilization.
The space ring carried by the Kui Phoenix Clan expert also contained tributes plundered from the Lark Clan, meant for transport back to the Kui Phoenix Clan. These spoils now added to Lu Changsheng’s haul.
“The Kui Phoenix Clan will undoubtedly come looking soon; the best strategy is to retreat.”
After looting everything, Lu Changsheng prepared to leave.
Despite the dead warrior’s Divine King Realm status, he held a significant position within the Kui Phoenix Clan. Upon his death, his life lamp would extinguish, ensuring the Kui Phoenix Clan would send someone to investigate immediately.
Lu Changsheng planned to hunt a few more feral Great Demons to bolster the battle strength of the Myriad Demons Banner.
“Esteemed expert, I have a request…”
As Lu Changsheng was about to leave, a Lark Clan maiden with little prior presence stopped him.
“What is it?”
Lu Changsheng did not have any enmity with the Lark Clan.
The Lark Clan was just a small tribal faction. Slaying them would provide negligible gains to the Myriad Demons Banner but would harm Lu Changsheng’s karmic merits, hindering the growth of the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
“I… I wish to ask if you would take us in as handmaidens…”
The daughter of the Lark Clan’s leader hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to seek assistance from this human expert.
“I’ve already killed him; you’re free. Why choose to serve as handmaidens?”
Lu Changsheng seemed surprised that fifty young women of the Lark Clan wanted to become his handmaidens.
Due to the ancient war, there were clear boundaries between the Demon Realm’s tribal factions and the Human Race, making such requests startlingly rare.
The daughter of the Lark Clan’s leader appeared conflicted: “The Kui Phoenix Clan envoy was slain, and if we return alive to the tribe, the Kui Phoenix Clan will inevitably suspect that our Lark Clan called you to kill him. When that happens, our tribe will face extinction. Even if the Kui Phoenix Clan spares us, they would continue their demands. Rather than becoming handmaidens for the Young Sect Leader of the Kui Phoenix Clan, we would prefer to follow you. If the Kui Phoenix Clan finds their envoy dead and us taken by you, they likely won’t suspect our tribe.”
