First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 122: Soul Refining Banner, Group of Demon Souls

"Run!"

Lu Yao was the first to react and shouted at everyone.

"Run? Do you think you can escape?"

The black-robed demon spoke, and as soon as his voice fell, he raised his hand and squeezed it in the air.

"Boom!"

The space twisted, and Senior Fang Ming, who was beside Shen Mo, was squeezed by the distorted space. In the end, he couldn't move.

"Bang!"

The black-robed demon tightened his grip again, and there was a loud noise.

Fang Ming was crushed!

He was crushed into a rain of blood and flesh.

The black-robed demon then waved his sleeve, and a black curtain emerged from his body.

Within the curtain, countless weaker little demons emerged and eagerly devoured the rain of blood and flesh.

This scene was extremely horrifying!

"Senior Fang!"

Lu Ming and the others saw Fang Ming being crushed alive, and their hearts trembled.

"Run! The spatial rift is reopening. This matter is not trivial. We must have someone escape and inform the peak master!"

Lu Yao's face was unusually solemn at this moment.

While they were talking, their figures turned into streaks of light and fled.

The strength of this demon in front of them was at least at the level of a half-step Spirit Sea, which they couldn't possibly contend with.

So, the only thing they could do was run.

Scatter and run. If one person could escape back to the sect, it would be a stroke of luck.

"Dragon Sparrow Sword!"

Shen Mo quickly summoned the Dragon Sparrow Sword and flew away.

Just as everyone scattered and fled, the black-robed demon also made a move.

Obviously, he wouldn't let Shen Mo and the others leave so easily.

Just as Shen Mo was about to escape, the black-robed demon casually slapped his palm in mid-air.

"Boom boom boom!"

The palm imprint in the void was filled with endless demonic aura, turning into a giant palm, seemingly wanting to devour Shen Mo whole.

"Soul Refining Banner, summon!"

He saw Fang Ming's fate and knew that if he was swallowed by this palm, he would be dead for sure. So without hesitation, he took out the Soul Refining Banner.

He squeezed out a drop of blood from his tongue and crazily infused spiritual power into the Soul Refining Banner.

"Buzz!"

The Soul Refining Banner received an influx of boundless spiritual power and burst out with an unprecedented brilliance.

In the end, blood light surged out and collided with the black giant palm.

"Pluff!"

Shen Mo was injured by the backlash force and spat out a mouthful of blood.

But at the same time, the black giant palm was completely shattered.

The scattered giant palm did not stop there.

The black mist turned into one little demon after another, pouncing towards Shen Mo.

Each of these demons had at least the cultivation level of a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator.

The strongest one even reached the level of the Triple Qi Gathering Realm.

"Earth Prison Talisman, Wind Wall Talisman, Firebird Talisman, Divine Movement Talisman, Thunderbolt Talisman!"

He took out all the remaining talismans from his storage bag and activated them all at once.

In a frenzy to save his life, he tried to resist the siege of these little demons.

There was great terror between life and death!

This was the closest he had come to death since he crossed over.

Before this, Shen Mo had always maintained a low-key and cautious attitude, never easily making enemies with others. Even when entering dungeons or slaying demonic beasts, he always made thorough preparations.

Even if he was not a match, it was still not difficult for him to escape.

But this time, it's different!

The sudden appearance of foreign demons from another realm truly made him feel the threat of death.

"Sword Spirit, give me a speed boost!"

He took a deep breath and unleashed the recently learned Sword Spirit Technique.

Accompanied by a burst of spiritual light from the Sword Spirit Technique, his Dragon Sparrow Sword under his feet accelerated even faster.

"If it's just these small demons, there might still be a chance!"

Waving the Soul Refining Banner, Shen Mo continuously activated talismans, thinking to himself.

What he feared the most was the arrival of the black-robed demon.

The power of that black-robed demon clearly surpassed the peak of Qi Gathering Realm.

If it were to attack and capture him, Shen Mo felt that even if he used all his abilities, he would still be unable to escape death.

But it seemed that the black-robed demon hadn't caught up yet.

It must have gone to find others!

"Soul Refining Banner, devour them!"

There were over a hundred of these small demons, and Shen Mo could only temporarily resist them with various second-tier talismans.

But if the power of the talismans ran out, he would inevitably come under attack.

Therefore, he needed to find a way to reverse this unfavorable situation.

Fortunately, the Soul Refining Banner had an excellent characteristic.

Every time it devoured and assimilated a small demon, it was equivalent to gaining a Soul General.

By using these Soul Generals to fight, he could gradually defeat them.

The only problem was that devouring and assimilating living beings with the Soul Refining Banner consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy for each one.

These small demons were at least at the level of the Qi Gathering Realm. Under normal circumstances, Shen Mo would exhaust his spiritual energy after assimilating a few.

If he wanted to assimilate and refine most of them, or even all of them into Soul Generals, it would require a massive amount of spiritual energy.

"I carry a large number of Qi Recovery Pills with me, enough to replenish, but these pills cannot be taken in large quantities in a short period of time, otherwise there will be side effects!"

"I can't worry about that now, I'll think about it after I survive!"

He gritted his teeth and stuffed the entire box of Qi Recovery Pills into his mouth without chewing.

With the Qi Recovery Pills swallowed by Shen Mo, the medicinal power quickly surged, causing his whole body to swell up like a big balloon.

"Boom!"

His spiritual energy expanded like never before, greatly accelerating the speed at which he infused the Soul Refining Banner with spiritual energy.

With this continuous supply of spiritual energy, the bloodthirsty aura of the Soul Refining Banner became even stronger.

As blood splattered, any small demon that charged within three feet of Shen Mo would be devoured by the Soul Refining Banner.

Then, the devoured small demons would be assimilated into servant Soul Generals within the banner, summoned again to help Shen Mo fight against the overwhelming demon army.

After assimilating more than ten demons in this way, the power of the Thunder Talisman and the Firebird Talisman triggered by Shen Mo had been completely exhausted.

The several powerful talismans that had originally enveloped Shen Mo's body were now showing gaps.

A large number of small demons rushed in, intending to kill Shen Mo.

Fortunately, at this moment, Shen Mo waved his hand and ten small demons that had already been assimilated into Soul Spirits were summoned to defend him.

"This won't work, I need to speed up the assimilation of these demons, otherwise it will be too late!"

Shen Mo continuously formed hand seals, urging the Soul Refining Banner to devour the demons, feeling anxious in his heart.

The Thunder Talisman and the Firebird Talisman had already dissipated, leaving two gaps.

Relying on the demons assimilated by the Soul Refining Banner, he barely managed to hold on and prevent himself from being completely overwhelmed.

But this state couldn't be maintained for too long because the Earth Prison Talisman and the Wind Wall Talisman, these two second-tier talismans, had also been almost exhausted.

They could only last for about fifteen minutes before dissipating.

By then, Shen Mo would be completely defenseless.

Dozens of small demons in the Qi Gathering Realm rushed over, and just thinking about it made Shen Mo's scalp tingle.

He had to take advantage of the remaining power of the talismans to assimilate as many small demons as possible and turn them into his Soul Generals.

"Gurgle!"

He swallowed another box of Qi Recovery Pills. The Dantian, which had been depleted due to the continuous infusion of spiritual energy into the Soul Refining Banner, regained some vitality.

But, a piece of bad news caused Shen Mo's face to slightly change.

Because, after he swallowed the box of Qi Recovery Pills, he couldn't find any other spiritual energy-restoring pills in his Qiankun Bag!

Only two updates today!
