Chapter 462: I Am the Palace Commander of the Human Emperor Palace...

Chapter 462: I Am the Palace Commander of the Human Emperor Palace...

In the Flower Moon Wondrous Land, the sounds of pursuit echoed endlessly.

Ghost Tyrant Sky, holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, exuded a chilling and deadly aura, as if ten thousand ghosts were wailing.

"Blood Robe, if you have the ability, don't run!"

"Are you even worth a single hair of the Black Sword?"

These pursuers were furious and frustrated.

Even as they sped up and expended their vital essence, they couldn't catch up with Blood Robe, always feeling like they were just a step behind.

At this moment, a Celestial Prodigy conveyed a message.

"Our insults are too weak, he won't stop. Is there a brave warrior who can step forward and emulate Fang Xue?"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Prodigies fell silent.

After an unknown period, one of them finally responded.

"Our enemy is him, what does his mother have to do with this? Don't involve the innocent!"

"Yes, cursing his mother is truly disgraceful!"

The Celestial Prodigies discussed amongst themselves.

Unbeknownst to them, their voices had fallen entirely into Qi Yuan's ears.

"As expected, even villains can sometimes have a moment of moral brilliance."

"However, it's only because they fear me, they're afraid of me!"

"If everyone were like this, why worry about not rectifying the cultivation world's atmosphere?"

"That's why we must slaughter them until they tremble in fear and stop their foul language!"

"Indeed, any reform will inevitably involve bloodshed."

Qi Yuan had a clearer understanding of this world.

Unfortunately, his current strength was too weak, merely at the Purple Mansion Realm.

The cultivation world's atmosphere was corrupted, and it was difficult for him to rectify it at present.

"I'm still too weak; if I were as powerful as the High Sovereign of the Grand Radiant Palace, how could I have been so careless and lost my mother?"

Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel regret.

Pitiful, weak, and helpless, his life was truly miserable.

...

"They're all useless, so many against one, and they still haven't resolved it after so long!"

Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable glanced at the Flower Moon Wondrous Land, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The younger generation of Ghost Tyrant Sky was becoming increasingly disconnected.

One could even say they were dragging their feet.

For example, Ghost Tyrant Sky had plotted assassinations of Black Devil Abyss's Celestial Prodigies, like Black Sword and Blood Robe.

Black Devil Abyss was furious, but they never expected the Celestial Prodigies of Ghost Tyrant Sky to retaliate.

Because... among Ghost Tyrant Sky, there was no Celestial Prodigy worth taking seriously.

"Such uselessness, living in this world, wasting sect resources, better to enter my Ten Thousand Souls Banner." Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable almost wrote 'Hee hee hee' on his face.

Just then, suddenly, a voice rang out abruptly in Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable's ear.

"You're right, living in this world, or living in a banner, there's not much difference. This Seventh Heaven is also a kind of banner, just a different kind."

The voice was calm and detached, like a friend's greeting.

Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable paused, his thoughts slowing down, and he nodded slowly, "You're right."

But just as he spoke, his face suddenly changed, and his heart was filled with extreme caution.

"Who are you, and why did you appear so suddenly?"

Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable looked over, and the originally gray sky had turned blood-red without him noticing.

His space was abruptly enveloped by a blood-colored cage, isolating him from the Sixth Heaven.

Looking towards the source of the voice, he saw a colossal blood-colored shadow!

The shadow seemed to be ten thousand feet tall, mysterious and captivating.

Its entire body was covered in fluid-like armor, as if fresh blood was quietly flowing.

On its shoulders were blood crystals with backward-facing spikes, sinister and bloody.

In its hand was a blood-colored long sword, emanating an obscure aura, causing anyone who glanced at it to feel their spirit go haywire.

Behind it, a broken flagpole was slung over its shoulder.

The banner's fabric was blood-red and tattered, exuding an ancient aura.

The terrifying Red Armored Giant seemed to have emerged from hell.

Its exposed eyes seemed to be peering from the depths of hell.

Seeing this blood-red shadow, Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable felt an inexplicable sense of threat.

But a hoarse and cold voice spoke.

"I am the Palace Commander of the Human Emperor Palace..."

As the blood-red shadow spoke, its gaze seemed to penetrate through time and space, landing on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner near Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable.

"In the beginning, before heaven and earth were formed, the Human Emperor captured the five elements and refined them into the Human Emperor Banner to pacify heaven and earth and control evil demons!

When the banner appears, all demons retreat, and ten thousand gods bow!

All banners in the mortal realm belong to the Human Emperor Palace.

As long as the Human Emperor lives, the inheritance will not wither, and the righteous Human Emperor Banner has become a sinister... Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which is truly laughable.

As the Palace Commander of the Human Emperor Palace, I must collect all the soul banners in the world and set them on the right path!"

The voice was cold and ruthless, carrying an ancient aura.

Upon hearing this, Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable was stunned.

Human Emperor Palace?

Human Emperor Banner?

What were these?

And did the Human Emperor Palace represent righteousness?

The aura on your body is chilling and eerie, causing trembling!

"Fellow cultivator, is there a misunderstanding? I am a cultivator of Ghost Tyrant Sky!" Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable held the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, his heart filled with anxiety.

Trapped in this blood-red cage, he couldn't contact anyone outside.

The Star Realm's Star Projection connection to him was also severed, and his strength had decreased significantly.

Holding his life-bound magic weapon, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he felt a glimmer of hope.

His heart was filled with curiosity about the identity of this blood-red shadow.

"Abandon resistance and return to the Human Emperor Banner, for that is your only path to survival!"

The wind blew, and the tattered blood-red Human Emperor Banner fluttered.

The fearful Giant held the blood-red long sword and took a step towards Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled.

Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable seemed to hear the heartbeat of a colossal beast.

Looking at the blood-red shadow, his gaze suddenly changed.

"What nonsense is this Human Emperor Palace? Playing god, kill!"

As he spoke, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner suddenly unfurled.

In this blood-red space, countless ghosts appeared, filling the area.

The eerie wind blew, and the dense ghostly aura spread.

An infinite number of ghosts rushed towards the blood-red shadow.

It was as if a flock of birds was charging towards a colossal creature.

The blood-red shadow held the blood-red long sword, its voice cold and ruthless.

"With the Human Emperor's sword, heaven and earth weep!"

A terrifying sword move flashed, and a blood-red light illuminated the heavens and earth.

Endless evil, greed, and lust... filled the air.

Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable's mind shook.

"This Human Emperor Palace is definitely sinister, even more so than Ghost Tyrant Sky!"

From this sword move, he smelled the purest evil of all living beings.

Envy, gluttony, greed, and more. These evils were far more intense than the negative emotions within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Now, he somewhat agreed that there was undoubtedly a deep connection between the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Human Emperor Banner.

Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable held the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, his expression grim.

For just a moment ago, a large group of Soul Binders had attacked, only to be swept away by that blood-red sword.

"Fellow Daoist, the Seventh Heaven is no longer the same as before. In the Ghost Tyrant Sky, a Grand Supreme Enlightenment sits in judgment!" Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable spoke, intending to drive back the blood-red figure.

"I will personally retrieve the Ten Thousand Ghost Souls Banner from the Ghost Tyrant Sky.

Now... you only need to welcome death!"

The blood-red figure held a long sword, looking less like an immortal and more like a brute warrior.

But even so, the powerful Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable still felt a terrifying and intense threat.

"With my soul banner, I forge my true body!" Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable knew that no amount of words would help, so he roared.

Having lost his connection to the Star Realm, he couldn't fully manifest his Radiant Divine body.

However, the Soul Binders within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were enough to forge his true body.

Within the blood-red prison, a colossal being appeared.

Head reaching the sky, feet planted firmly on the ground.

How could ten thousand zhang describe its size?

The surrounding air and spiritual energy seemed to have a massive pull, drawing everything closer to it.

Manifesting his Dharmic Body, Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable regained his confidence.

He looked down at the tiny blood-red figure, like a firefly, and his eyes showed disdain.

"Without understanding the Grand Principle, who knows who will win or lose!"

He didn't sense the aura of Grand Principle from his opponent.

So, the outcome was uncertain.

A terrifying giant palm stirred the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

It was as if, in the vast universe, a mighty deity waved its banner, stirring the sea of stars, about to crush a tiny warship.

But in the next breath, Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable's expression changed abruptly.

A cold voice sounded in his ear.

"You know nothing of power!"

"You are lost when it comes to justice!"

"The righteous path of heaven and earth, I guard with my sword!"

"Kill!"

A powerful sword strike, devoid of technique.

Like a glimmer of cold light, or a spark, suddenly expanding.

A grain of rice's light could illuminate, and a spark could set the plains ablaze! Justice must prevail!

"If you don't do good in life, repay the heavens after death!"

Wandaowushen's power was simple, direct, overbearing, and unreasonable.

Not to mention, with just the cultivation of the Ancestral Blood Art's twelfth layer, Qi Yuan was infinitely close to the Grand Supreme Enlightenment.

A terrifying sword strike, even an ordinary Grand Principle would find it hard to block.

Not to mention, a mere ordinary Radiant Divine.

"Die!"

The blood-red figure flickered, disappearing from in front of Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable and reappearing behind him.

Heaven Earth Flash!

Perhaps it was too fast, but if someone looked over at that moment, they would see ten thousand blood-red figures in the heavens, like fireflies, emitting light.

These lights filled the heavens and earth, and in Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable's Dharmic Body, a huge gash appeared, connecting them into a line, like a star river.

Behind the Dharmic Body, Qi Yuan didn't turn around.

That terrifying Dharmic Body, a body larger than an ordinary world, shattered in an instant, collapsing into countless stardust.

Within the infinite Star Realm, a scorching star suddenly went dark without warning, shattering.

In the Ghost Tyrant Sky, the dormant Radiant Divine Venerable awoke, his expression changing dramatically.

At that moment, Ziyuan Maple's heart was tense as he looked into the distance, his nerves on edge.

Just then, he suddenly realized that the Radiant Divine Venerable of the Ghost Tyrant Sky seemed to have disappeared for a few breaths."

This made him very anxious.

"Could he be preparing to make a move against the Blood Cloak, or is it a plot?"

Ziyuan Maple was extremely worried.

But suddenly, his eyes widened, and his expression showed disbelief.

"Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable... has fallen?"

In the Star Realm, a star projection disappeared.

That star projection belonged to Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable.

After just a few breaths, a Radiant Divine Venerable had fallen. Was it the work of a Grand Supreme Enlightenment, or perhaps an even more powerful entity?

He looked intently at the place where Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable had been dormant, his heart racing.

Suddenly, a thick, bloody aura permeated the world.

The heavens and earth turned blood-red once more.

Ziyuan Maple seemed to hear countless deities crying and the sound of warhorses.

An ancient, eternal aura filled the air, and a majestic man appeared.

Holding a blood-red longsword, wearing blood-red armor, and carrying a tattered banner, he turned his emotionless eyes towards Ziyuan Maple. Ziyuan Maple's heart jumped, as if he had been looked upon by the Grim Reaper.

What kind of gaze was this? Since becoming a Radiant Divine Venerable, he had never encountered such a cold stare.

Could it be... that this suddenly appearing, terrifying figure had killed Serpent Silk Heavenly Venerable?

At that moment, the blood-red figure's gaze fell upon the Flower Moon Wondrous Land.

Ziyuan Maple's heart skipped a beat, sensing danger.

The blood-red figure extended its giant hand, reaching into the Flower Moon Wondrous Land.

"All banners in the world belong to the Human Emperor Palace!"

A cold, hoarse voice echoed, and the blood-red giant hand reached into the land.

Instantly, dozens of Celestial Prodigies and hundreds of geniuses screamed in terror.

But against this grasp, they had no power to resist, and their bodies shattered.

Those arrogant Celestial Prodigies, under this strike, perished.

Ziyuan Maple, witnessing this, widened his eyes, unable to comprehend: "What kind of method is this? What realm is he in?"

He could understand a Radiant Divine Venerable destroying the Wondrous Land with a single strike.

But with half his body in the Seventh Heaven and just his hand reaching into the land... what was this? He couldn't understand.

An ordinary Radiant Divine, entering another world, must first restrict themselves, or they would fall in cultivation.

They might even drop in realm.

A Grand Supreme Enlightenment wouldn't drop in realm, but they couldn't enter another world either.

"Blood Cloak..." Ziyuan Maple's expression changed, his face pale with worry.

He was concerned about the Blood Cloak in the Flower Moon Wondrous Land.

At that moment, Zi Yuan Maple suddenly noticed a powerful and intensely hot Stellar Projection appear in the once dim sky above.

It was as if the sun had fallen, just a stone's throw away from the earth.

A domineering and angry voice suddenly rang out.

"You audacious wretch!"

Behind the blazing Stellar Projection, a terrifying figure emerged.

This figure was so vague that even its face was indiscernible, and it didn't seem to be a substantial entity.

But even the slightest hint of its aura caused Zi Yuan Maple to tremble.

"This is... the Great Principle Avatar Projection!" Zi Yuan Maple was startled, feeling that he might perish at any moment.

At that moment, a warm white light enveloped him, and the intense threat that had been present a moment ago vanished.

In the 16th chapter of the 19th book, a man in white robes appeared beside Zi Yuan Maple, exuding an air of elegance and amiability.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Black Sword!" Zi Yuan Maple quickly bowed in gratitude upon seeing the visitor, his heart settling.

Black Sword nodded, his gaze fixed on the Great Principle Avatar Projection and the blood-red figure, his eyes revealing a complex expression.

"Although it's just the Great Principle Avatar Projection, this strike is undoubtedly as powerful as the original body." Black Sword commented.

The Great Principle Avatar Projection, filled with rage, unleashed a powerful attack without any unnecessary flourishes, aiming directly at the blood-red figure.

Destruction!

Turmoil!

The heavens shook as if they might crumble at any moment.

Standing behind Black Sword, Zi Yuan Maple felt his insignificance in the face of the Great Principle's might.

At this moment, the blood-red figure raised its head and looked at the Great Principle Avatar and its formidable attack.

Its voice was cold and emotionless, with a hint of hoarseness.

"All flags and banners in the mortal world belong to the Human Emperor Palace."

He drew his sword and swung it at the terrifying attack of the Great Principle.

It was as if an ordinary mortal warrior was challenging a supreme deity.

A flash of red light passed through Black Sword's eyes, accompanied by countless questions.

Even he couldn't see through this sword strike.

It was an ordinary sword strike, devoid of any Supreme Principle.

If it had any connection to the Dao, it was only through the Primordial Ability.

The Primordial Ability, an ancient memory, was the most powerful technique of the Purple Mansion Realm.

But had anyone ever used the Primordial Ability to counter the Great Principle?

A shocking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

The Primordial Ability actually blocked the Great Principle's attack.

The Great Principle's strike dissipated instantly, and the blood-red figure sheathed its sword, its eyes revealing no emotion.

"How is this possible!" Zi Yuan Maple trembled, unable to comprehend.

Black Sword stared at the blood-red figure, trying to see through it.

This scene was beyond his understanding as well.

The gap between the Primordial Ability and the Great Principle's attack was unimaginable.

If this were on Blue Star, it would be like a primitive tribesman wearing slippers, holding a wooden sword, as fighter jets roared in the sky, creating sonic booms.

Suddenly, a fighter jet swooped down to attack the tribesman, who casually swung his wooden sword.

The fighter jet shattered instantly.

"What audacity!"

The Great Principle's powerful avatar projection was enraged.

In an instant, a star in the Star Realm lit up brightly.

The aura of the Great Principle's projection continued to grow and boil.

"To withstand my first strike and still face my second is truly audacious!"

The domineering voice echoed through the realm.

The sun and moon seemed to dance chaotically.

The Great Principle's projection was clearly enraged, determined to capture the blood-red figure.

Facing such an attack, the blood-red figure remained calm and composed.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner you carry has been marked by me.

If the Ghost Tyrant Young Elite doesn't personally offer the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to me, I will search for it."

"How audacious!"

The Great Principle's projection was furious.

The atmosphere of destruction swept through the realm, and ordinary practitioners of the Supreme Principle might suffer severe injuries or even perish in the aftermath of such a battle.

However, everyone was shocked, confused, and even puzzled by this turn of events.

The gap between the Primordial Ability and the Great Principle's attack was beyond comprehension.

(End)

The other one came from the Celestial Prodigy of Guiyuetian.

"Little Banner, be a good girl and open the door. Daddy's coming home!" Qi Yuan spoke, activating the Great Forgetfulness Heart Sutra and chanting a song.

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, the little banners didn't hesitate and eagerly opened the door.

Only the larger banner seemed hesitant, its fabric fluttering.

But under Qi Yuan's beautiful three-part melody, it eventually opened as well.

"Refine!"

He was about to refine his own Emperor Soul Banner.

Qi Yuan was well-versed in the refining process, starting with brainwashing, then reforming, and finally modifying.

For him, this was a simple task, a minor issue.

After an unknown period, Qi Yuan mended and patched the tattered Emperor Soul Banner, enhancing its power significantly.

"Sigh, I need to take a good rest and then go find my little banner."

When faced with the Supreme Principle's attack, Qi Yuan instantly opened his Purple Mansion and entered it, disappearing from sight.

While it may seem difficult to comprehend, it was, in fact, not at all.

Qi Yuan himself didn't understand why entering his Purple Mansion would cause him to disappear.

However, he had already prepared by placing one end of the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate in the Flower Moon Oddland, allowing him to enter the Oddland through the gate after entering his Purple Mansion.

"It's a pity that there are too many powerful beings here. I can't casually place the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate; otherwise, it might be easily discovered by others."

Qi Yuan sighed.

He dared to use the Principle Gate as bait against the Demon Gate clan, luring their Radiant Divine Venerables into a trap.

But against the Supreme Principle, he didn't dare.

He didn't even dare to reveal the Principle Gate, as any hint of its presence would be detected by the Supreme Principle.

Therefore, he could only place one end of the gate in the Oddland.

Placing it in the Sixth Heaven would be too close and easily sensed. If a Supreme Principle were to enter Qi Yuan's Netherworld through the gate, it would be a troublesome situation.

Not only would it expose Qi Yuan's Netherworld, but it would also reveal his possession of the Principle Gate.

This could potentially make him the sole public enemy of the Sixth Heaven.

No Supreme Principle would want to see someone else in control of the Principle Gate.

If that were to happen, the Principles they had comprehended would be exposed to Qi Yuan.

If Qi Yuan were to hide for millions or even tens of millions of years, who could rival him?

There were other reasons as well. Against the Supreme Principle, the Principle Gate might only be effective the first time.

Qi Yuan had to catch them off guard.

"So, I must find a suitable Oddland and the right opportunity to continue my grand plan."

"Unless the Banner Master takes action personally, they won't be able to hold me back for now!"

"The Banner Master sits in Guiyuetian, and he won't leave casually."

"The grand plan... is settled!"

"Alright, now's the time. I'll go out and watch the show!"

As Qi Yuan left the Flower Moon Wondrous Land, a pair of eyes fixed on him.

A refined voice reached him, "I'm relieved to see you unharmed."

Ziyuan Maple also heaved a sigh of relief.

He feared that the blood-red figure would casually crush the Blood Cloak.

"Ugh, it's so annoying. I was about to finish off those useless Guiyuetian cultivators, but suddenly a blood-red giant hand appeared and killed the heavily wounded Guiyuetian, stealing my kill. It's so infuriating!" Qi Yuan grumbled.

Ziyuan Maple heard this and pouted slightly.

He had been closely monitoring the energy fluctuations in the Flower Moon Wondrous Land.

Where was the heavily wounded cultivator? The blood-red figure had only killed one person before attacking.

"Just now, that Mysterious Blood Shadow killed the Serpent Silk Venerable and even withstood the Supreme Principle's attack," the Black Sword spoke softly.

The Black Sword glanced at the distant Supreme Principle and then at Qi Yuan.

"Well killed, swiftly killed, and splendidly killed!" Qi Yuan clapped.

At that moment, the Supreme Principle of Guiyuetian was using Temporal Regression, seemingly trying to uncover the identity of the blood-red figure.

Under the powerful Immortal Spirit Energy of the Supreme Principle, the scene within the Red Armored Giant replayed.

He didn't stop the Black Sword from watching, or perhaps he didn't care.

In the scene, the blood-red figure spoke coldly and killed the Serpent Silk Venerable with a single sword strike.

The Supreme Principle's face turned awkward, "Human Emperor Palace, Envoy? I've never heard of such a person!"

"How dare they try to take back Guiyuetian's Ten Thousand Souls Banner and Ten Thousand Ghost Souls Banner. They're asking for death!"

The Supreme Principle didn't stay to capture the Mysterious Blood Shadow, filled with rage.

He was also deeply wary.

The blood-red figure was truly bizarre.

With no trace of the Principle, yet it could kill the Serpent Silk Venerable with a single strike and even withstand the Supreme Principle's attack.

Reaching into the Oddland, it killed Guiyuetian's young elite.

Finally, under the Supreme Principle's attack, it disappeared.

Each of these events was shocking on its own, leaving one feeling perplexed.

Now, with all these events together, the Supreme Principle couldn't help but feel troubled, shocked, and surprised.

The Supreme Principle glanced deeply at the Black Sword and then vanished without further delay.

Clearly, the events here needed to be reported.

The Black Sword looked at Qi Yuan, his eyes glinting with a hint of blood-red.

"You saw the Mysterious Blood Shadow kill the Serpent Silk Venerable. What do you think?"

Qi Yuan quickly replied, "So cool, and like me, all in red. Truly, a stylish man's outfit is consistent."

The Black Sword looked at Qi Yuan, a glint of blood-red flashed in his eyes.

"What do you think of this?" the Black Sword asked calmly.

Ziyuan Maple, standing nearby, found this strange.

He didn't understand why the Black Sword was so concerned about the Blood Cloak.

"I think the Guiyuetian cultivators are shameless, trying to steal the Emperor Soul Banner. If I were them, I'd immediately return the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and then..." Qi Yuan spoke earnestly.

The Black Sword heard this, and the doubts in his heart dissipated.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is as important to Guiyuetian as the Ancestral Blood Art is to us in the Black Abyss. How could they return it?"

He continued, "Is the Ice Egg's 'Ancestral Blood Art' your creation?"

"Can you... demonstrate it for me?"
