Chapter 340 Stepping onto a Dead End! The Self-Destruction Process Was Unexpectedly Interrupted!
"A gentleman judges by actions, not by intentions. The human heart is complex and unpredictable, which is why we must cultivate ourselves and our minds!"
Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, you say we are hypocritical, but if everyone were as 'hypocritical' as we are, wouldn't the world be peaceful and harmonious everywhere?
As for your claim that our elders used you as a whetstone, that's true, but it's not shameful.
Our elders will one day pass away. If our generation does not undergo trials and tribulations and grow stronger, then if another ruthless and merciless demon like you appears in the future, who will stand against you? Should we beg for the demon's mercy?
After your crimes were exposed, we righteous cultivators immediately launched a manhunt for you. You cannot blame us for the lives you have taken!
Also, you said we were a disorganized mess, that's because we didn't know each other before;
You said we cherish our treasures and lives and dare not risk our lives, which is only natural. We are young and inexperienced, and we need to be tempered and cultivated to shed worldly desires. We cannot expect to be born perfect demon-slaying warriors!
Furthermore, what I said before about your cowardice and fear of death is absolutely true! You seem to sacrifice your lifespan as easily as eating and drinking, but that's a self-preservation measure you're forced to take.
If you weren't afraid of death, you wouldn't have used those manipulative words against us, nor would you have tried to sway our minds to lessen the pressure on you to break the formation!
Array cultivator Li Yubo refuted the accusations leveled by ghost cultivator Mo Xuan.
At the same time, the eleven righteous cultivators also regained some of their strength and were able to intensify their attacks.
"What a sharp tongue! Very good! Li Yubo, you truly deserve to be the leader of the righteous path this generation. Your will is indeed firm."
At this moment, the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan was in dire straits. After hearing Li Yubo's words, his anger dissipated, and he retreated in a daze, showing a kind of calm madness before complete insanity.
He knew he was doomed today. The ghosts and souls stored in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were almost completely exhausted. Even if he drank the blood of the unicorn and sacrificed all the remaining lifespan, it would be of no use.
He had just sacrificed thirty years of his lifespan, yet he still lacked the confidence to break through the great formation that the righteous cultivators hadn't desperately reinforced. That's why he uttered those psychologically manipulative words.
Now that the power has diminished, it's even more impossible.
Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan stood inside the shrunken, pale ghost king, his bloodshot eyes wide as he looked up at the sky.
It was as if they wanted to see through the Ghost King's body, through the array space, and see clearly what kind of graceful demeanor and otherworldly beauty the eleven righteous holy sons and daughters who were besieging him possessed.
"The righteous path is good! Holy sons and daughters are good! You have the protection of sects, the guidance of teachers, readily available cultivation resources, and complete cultivation manuals..."
Unlike me, with my worthless life, digging up graves in the wilderness, competing with equally worthless people for cultivation resources, even if I were temporarily favored by fortune and obtained this supreme treasure, the Myriad Soul Banner, I would ultimately be unable to escape the fate of death and the dissipation of my cultivation.
Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan spoke calmly, recounting his past and summarizing his life.
Ignoring the fact that the shrunken Pale Ghost King was being relentlessly attacked and wounded by the formation, he was forced to retreat.
However, this performance made the righteous cultivators, led by Li Yubo, and the subdued demonic fragment within the tattered Ten Thousand Soul Banner feel deeply uneasy.
"You demon, what are you doing?!"
In the eyes of the main array master of the Canghai Guiliu Grand Array, array cultivator Li Yubo frowned and questioned in a cold voice.
At the same time, he secretly communicated with his teammates, urging them to continue to intensify their attack.
"What are you doing? Hahaha! I'm going to die, can't I take some people with me to be buried with me?"
This Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is something I can neither take with me in life nor in death. But in exchange for eleven righteous holy sons and daughters to accompany me to the underworld, it's worth it!
I'll show you whether I dare to truly fight to the death!
Ghost cultivator Mo Xuan finished speaking his dying words at an extremely fast pace, and while speaking, he attacked with all his might.
He used his mind to give the tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner the command to self-destruct.
At the same time, he used his own cold spiritual power to frantically activate the Ghost Cultivator lineage's secret technique of mutual destruction, pouring it into the tattered Myriad Soul Banner to enhance its self-destruction power.
"You...you're a madman!!!"
The divided soul of the Demon King within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls and the eleven righteous cultivators controlling the formation expressed the same meaning in different languages.
"Everyone, do not hesitate, unleash your magical treasures and merge them into the formation!"
Once he realized what was happening, the array cultivator Li Yubo made the most correct response in the shortest amount of time.
In a life-or-death situation, even the most prized magical treasures of their respective sects are no longer worth sparing.
Everyone joined forces, unleashing their magical treasures and directly embedding them into their respective array nodes, while simultaneously pouring spiritual energy into the array.
In an instant, the Canghai Guiliu Grand Array shone brightly, its power and stability increasing more than tenfold.
The anticipated self-destruction of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner did not occur immediately.
Inside the formation, the Pale Ghost King had been obliterated by the surge of formation power, revealing the aged ghost cultivator inside and the tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner that continuously emanated astonishing power.
The tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner was already showing signs of cracking, and the fresh cracks emitted an extremely powerful force, sweeping away all the incoming array attacks.
Meanwhile, the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan was gripping the banner pole of the Myriad Souls Banner tightly, his eyes wide but his gaze blank. His physical body was temporarily unaffected by the overflowing power of the Myriad Souls Banner.
But it seems that they have encountered something difficult to deal with in the short term, something on a spiritual or spiritual level.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was not allowed to self-destruct immediately.
"Bastard! You want to commit suicide, but you want me to self-destruct?"
Inside the tattered Soul-Storing Banner, the divided soul of Voldemort cursed at the soul of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan.
The fact that the tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner didn't immediately self-destruct meant that he had interfered.
"You are nothing but a foreign slave, how dare you defy me?"
The ghost cultivator Mo Xuan's soul was also extremely furious. His last act of showing off before his death was interrupted by Voldemort's split soul. How could he not be angry?
He was now in a dilemma, unable to stop the self-destruction of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. If this continued, and those righteous cultivators were to withdraw and retreat quickly, he would die in vain!
"You bastard! Explode it!"
The ghost cultivator Mo Xuan let out a loud shout, using his spiritual power and his own soul essence to unleash another ghost cultivation secret technique.
Voldemort's split soul was hit, and his condition became weak.
He hadn't made thorough preparations, so the chances of him successfully turning back on the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan under these circumstances were already low.
"Fine! You're crazy? I'll be even crazier! Let's see who can outdo whom in madness!"
In a desperate situation, Voldemort's split soul had no choice but to take a gamble.
Now, under the forceful control of the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, the tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner has reached the brink of destruction.
But at this moment, it can be said that the broken Ten Thousand Soul Banner was at its most powerful.
An SS-class offensive magical item born for battle, it unleashes all its power at the cost of destruction; even legendary wizards cannot withstand this power head-on.
Furthermore, this is also the time when the tattered Ten Thousand Soul Banner has the greatest flaws.
As the only main soul in the Myriad Souls Banner that can retain its consciousness and memories, Voldemort's split soul can exploit loopholes in the magic weapon's permissions to gain control over a portion of the Myriad Souls Banner's power, thus gaining control over a power to turn the tide in desperate situations.
It was this power that temporarily gave him the means to confront the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan, and suppressed the self-destruction process of the Myriad Soul Banner.
Now, he wants to use this power to forcibly deepen the connection between himself and Voldemort's main soul, and then unleash the strongest ability of the Myriad Soul Banner itself—capturing souls!
