The Primordial Era: Starting with Jingwei Filling the Sea

Although the World Tree sank into Fang Yang's body, its roots broke through the void and plunged into the chaos, constantly absorbing the chaotic energy to provide Fang Yang with a continuous source of magical power.

Fang Yang had already fused with the Zhou Tian Divine Qi, making his magical power comparable to that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Now, with the World Tree further increasing the quantity of his magical power, he finally possessed strength indistinguishable from that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

And don't forget, Fang Yang possesses innate spiritual treasures. Both the Purple Lightning Hammer and the Yin-Yang Gourd are top-grade innate spiritual treasures; when activated, their power is extraordinary.

The advancement of the World Tree greatly increased Fang Yang's strength.

However, the mysteries of the World Tree go beyond this. The World Tree possesses the ability to communicate with all the myriad realms, meaning Fang Yang can leave his mark across them. When he encounters danger, he can use the World Tree to escape into other worlds.

For example, when he was besieged by many masters such as Huang Feihu, Huang Tianhua, Nezha, Yang Jian, and Tu Xingsun, just like Kong Xuan, he could always withdraw and escape from their encirclement.

In addition, he can use the power of the World Tree to find the remains of powerful beings, secret realms, or hidden paradises.

In conclusion, the advancement of the World Tree is of paramount importance to Fang Yang. This matter will lay the most solid foundation for his path to enlightenment.

Fang Yang calmed his turbulent emotions slightly before beginning the refining of the treasure. With a wave of his hand, a long river composed of rare and precious materials flew out from his sleeve.

Most of these treasures are innate spiritual materials born at the beginning of time, which are extremely precious. A small portion of them are even chaotic divine materials collected by the Tongtian Sect Master from the chaotic world.

Primordial Soul Stone, Nine Netherworld Refined Iron, Yellow Spring Holy Water, Heavenly Gang Essence Stone, Chaos Heavenly Silkworm Silk, Profound Yin Qi... there are so many, each one is priceless, and they might not even be found in the treasure troves of the three innate races or the Witch Clan.

The long river formed by so many treasures resembled a dazzling galaxy hanging in the air above the main hall, extremely radiant.

This shows how determined Fang Yang was to refine the Emperor's Banner.

Fang Yang unleashed his Purple Lightning Hammer, a massive thunder hammer that soared into the air, carrying endless lightning as it pounded against the treasures. With each strike, lightning flashed, and many rare and precious materials were deformed by the impact.

clang!clang!clang!

Fang Yang's purple lightning hammer rose and fell continuously, and with each strike, something was tempered and fused together.

Fortunately, the World Tree was promoted, giving Fang Yang the endurance of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Otherwise, Fang Yang would have had to consume elixirs to refine the Human Emperor Banner.

The sound of hammers echoed in the Heavenly Hall for thirty thousand years, during which Fang Yang forged without stopping for a moment.

Through the tempering of thunder and fire, the prototype of the Human Emperor Banner finally emerged.

This is a divine banner that gleams with gold and is surrounded by purple aura. Embroidered on the banner are images of all living beings under the human realm, including the human race, the witch race, the dragon race, and other named races from the primordial world. At the center of the banner are the two large characters "Human Emperor" written in innate divine script.

Of course, the most mysterious element is the Emperor's merit wrapped around the divine banner. Under the blessing of the Emperor's merit, the banner is filled with the righteous energy of heaven and earth and the Emperor's majesty.

The prototype of the Emperor's Banner has been completed; the next step is to refine its spirit.

Ordinary magical artifacts do not need a spirit, but the Emperor's Banner must have one. Only with a spirit can it better enslave the immortals whose true spirits have been stolen by the Emperor's Banner.

Fang Yang was prepared for this.

During his time preaching, Fang Yang suppressed the demons, succubi, and goblins. These three were the perfect materials to serve as the spirit of the Human Emperor's Banner.

Fang Yang took out the Yin-Yang Gourd, slapped it, and three demonic shadows flew out of the gourd with a "whoosh".

The three demons, Chimo, Succubus, and Wangliang, believed they were doomed after being suppressed. They never imagined they would see the light of day again.

"Hahaha, I'm free!"

"You Taoist priest with the bull-nose, you're clever enough. We are the people of the High Priest of the Jiuli tribe. By messing with us, you have offended the gods of the underworld. Can you guarantee that you will never fall into reincarnation?"

"You stinking Taoist priest, don't worry. If you release us, we'll put in a good word for you before the High Priest. After you perish, the High Priest will arrange an easier path for you to return to the path of immortality."

After a cheer, the demons, succubi, and goblins circled above Fang Yang's head, stirring up gusts of eerie wind.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yang sneered, "The three of you are celebrating a little too soon. I released you three to refine you into weapon spirits."

Without waiting for the three demons' response, Fang Yang raised his hand and conjured a large magical hand made of Shangqing Divine Thunder in the void.

That's right, it's the Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder, not the Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder. With Fang Yang's current magical power, he can barely activate the Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder.

The Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder, also known as the Termination Divine Thunder, is the most powerful thunder technique of the Jie Sect. Once activated, it possesses the supreme power to end all things, shatter the universe, and disrupt the cycle of eras.

Before the divine lightning of Shangqing even struck, just a few wisps of lightning shattered the protective magic of the demon, succubus, and wraith, leaving the three demons frozen in mid-air.

Under the shroud of the Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder, the primordial spirits of the three demons trembled uncontrollably. They were not afraid, nor were they terrified; rather, their life instincts were being suppressed by the Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder.

Fang Yang hadn't expected the Shangqing Divine Thunder to be so powerful. It was only his first time using it, yet it had such an effect. This sparked his interest in the most profound Taoist techniques of the Jie Sect.

If he were to master all the supernatural abilities, such as the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying, the Eighty-One Transformations of Pangu, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, the Technique of Severing the Three Corpses, and the Heavenly Divine Thunder, how strong would he become?

Of course, he was just thinking about it. Aside from the Three Pure Ones, it's estimated that no one else could successfully cultivate all of these supernatural abilities.

Fang Yang pressed down slightly with his palm, and the three demons could no longer withstand it. Their physical bodies exploded, and their three primordial spirits were absorbed into the Human Emperor Banner.

Zizizi!

The moment the three demonic spirits entered the Emperor's Banner, they were cleansed by the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and the demonic energy within them dissipated instantly. It should be understood that demonic energy was the foundation of the three demons' cultivation. Without the support of demonic energy, the three demonic spirits were in danger of dissipating.

"what!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed from inside the Guantian Hall.

Fang Yang remained unmoved. He was refining a celestial treasure, not a demonic one. Therefore, he had to refine the spirit of the artifact into a demonic being.

The three demons were fortunate to have arrived at the right time; they appeared when Fang Yang needed a spirit artifact the most, which gave them a chance to reform. At any other time, they probably wouldn't have been able to become spirit artifacts even if they wanted to.

boom!

Fang Yang smiled and unleashed the Samadhi True Fire. The crimson flames enveloped the Human Emperor Banner, and he began the final refinement of the banner.

Three thousand years later, the purple aura on the Emperor's Banner surged even more violently, instantly becoming a thousand times denser. At one point, the purple aura became so thick it turned black, and streaks of purple aura, like black smoke, coiled around the Emperor's Banner.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yang knew that he had successfully crafted the Human Emperor Banner!
