Upon seeing this, the Goddess of Wushan exclaimed in shock: "Her soul is being extracted. Now, her soul is probably reduced to a last bit of its original essence, which is why her body is almost transparent like this."
After all, she was the daughter of the Crimson Emperor, so her knowledge and experience were naturally extraordinary.
Zu An was extremely anxious: "Is there any way to save us?"
"We must destroy that Ten Thousand Souls Banner and then find a way to bring the lost souls back to their bodies..." Before the Goddess of Wushan could finish speaking, Zu'an had already rushed over.
He drew his Tai'a sword, and a dazzling sword light shot straight out.
However, the black aura surrounding the Myriad Souls Banner was so tangible that the sword light dimmed with each step it took to get closer, and finally crashed into the Myriad Souls Banner, disappearing like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
Zuan's expression changed. The black aura around the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was extremely corrosive, and it could even directly corrode sword energy!
Unwilling to give up, he took out the Sun-Shooting Bow and shot a sword at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in mid-air.
A white light, like a shooting star, crashed into the pitch-black Ten Thousand Souls Banner in an instant. Who would have thought that the power that could shoot down the sun would only cause the entire Ten Thousand Souls Banner to tremble!
Even though Zuan was mentally prepared, he was still dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
The Goddess of Wushan quickly said, "The power of your arrow needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to reach its maximum, but in this area now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has long since disappeared, leaving only the demonic energy of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Naturally, this arrow cannot harm it."
Xihe scanned the surrounding layout: "The entire hall is set up with a complex array, which even connects the entire Heavenly Palace to this Myriad Soul Banner. If you want to destroy it by force, it is equivalent to attacking the entire Heavenly Palace. Not to mention you, even the Heavenly Emperor himself cannot do it."
The entire Heavenly Palace was forged over countless years by countless gods, and it contains countless profound defensive formations. In a sense, the entire Heavenly Palace is a top-tier magical treasure, so it is naturally difficult for Zu'an's attacks to harm it.
Zuan frowned, and he even unleashed the Seven-Colored Divine Light in an attempt to take away the Myriad Soul Banner.
However, as expected, the seven-colored divine light flashed, and the Myriad Souls Banner remained suspended in the air.
The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls has indeed become an integral part of the entire Heavenly Palace; he doesn't yet have the ability to take down the entire Heavenly Palace.
Xihe looked at the girl on the altar in the distance and said in a deep voice, "If we can't destroy the Myriad Souls Banner, we can only destroy her. Otherwise, once the Myriad Souls Banner is completely refined, Dijun will have no one left to control, and the whole world will probably be plunged into chaos."
"Absolutely not!" Zuan knew that this was the most rational thing to do, but how could he possibly give up on Xiaoxi?
Xihe glanced at him but said nothing more.
The Goddess of Wushan opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing; it would be inappropriate to say anything now.
Zu An scanned his surroundings, his mind racing with the array formation knowledge he had learned. He quickly came up with a rough idea: "Di Jun is indeed very powerful. He was able to connect the Myriad Soul Banner with the Heavenly Palace. However, this also sows the seeds of trouble. The Myriad Soul Banner is the most yin and evil thing in the world, while the Heavenly Palace itself symbolizes light. The two are irreconcilable."
"Di Jun must have used some special method to temporarily suppress this conflict. We can only disrupt the balance, and the entire Heavenly Palace will naturally help us suppress and purify the Myriad Soul Banner."
Xihe and the Goddess of Wushan's eyes lit up. With their knowledge, they naturally understood the feasibility of this: "Then what should we do?"
"I thought of a Five Elements Demon Suppression Heavenly Evolution Array that could achieve a similar effect, but it requires the purification power to be applied in five directions at the same time. Even if I use teleportation, the limit is that it can only be applied to three directions." Zuan was troubled and quickly thought of a solution.
The Goddess of Wushan suddenly spoke up: "Aren't Xihe and I still here? Although I don't like fire, I am, after all, of the Crimson Emperor's bloodline, and I can draw on the fire essence power within the Crimson Emperor's bloodline to purify the surrounding demonic energy; Xihe is the Sun Goddess, and the sun is the nemesis of all evil spirits in the world, so she should have no problem governing a direction."
Xihe nodded: "Not bad, but you're so badly injured, are you really sure you can manage?"
"Don't worry, I am a goddess after all." A confident smile graced the beautiful face of the Goddess of Wushan.
Zuan knew that Xiaoxi probably wouldn't last much longer, so he stopped worrying and quickly explained the key points of the formation to the two girls.
Then he took out an array plate from the glass bead and quickly planted array flags in various parts of the hall.
The Goddess of Wushan and Xihe also arrived at the southeast and southwest corners respectively, as planned.
Xihe sat there cross-legged, and soon his body was illuminated by a blazing light, like a red sun standing there. The surrounding black mist immediately dispersed and melted away, like candles meeting a flame.
The Goddess of Wushan formed a hand seal, cut a gash in her finger, and activated the power of the Crimson Emperor's bloodline. Flames blazed around her, and her power was in no way inferior to that of Xihe beside her.
Seeing this, Zu An felt relieved and dared not hesitate any longer. He quickly moved like lightning, sometimes circulating the Primordial Chaos Scripture in the due north, sometimes unleashing the Phoenix True Flame in the northwest, and sometimes unleashing the White Lotus True Fire in the northeast.
He mastered teleportation and position swapping to the extreme, making it appear to outsiders as if three Zaun were simultaneously unleashing their powers from their respective locations.
Even with Zu An's formidable cultivation and physical strength, he had already reached the edge of his limit.
But thinking of Xiaoxi, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
The purifying power of the five directions was activated, like five stars illuminating the dark sky.
The array flags around them lit up one by one, and the Five Elements Demon Suppression Heavenly Evolution Array was fully activated.
The black aura in the entire hall gradually thinned out, as if sensing danger. Suddenly, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in mid-air trembled, and a dense black aura spread out, quickly enveloping the five glowing directions.
"Oh no!" The three of them felt darkness engulf them, and the light emanating from their bodies gradually dimmed, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
Zuan was anxious. While continuing to teleport three times to maintain the formation according to his memory, he was thinking about how to break the current situation. He could still hold on, after all, his technique could purify evil spirits, and he was also the lord of the Netherworld. These demonic energies composed of living souls could hardly harm him.
However, both Xihe and the Goddess of Wushan were injured, and it would be troublesome if they were affected by this demonic energy.
Suddenly, he felt a blur before his eyes and discovered that the black mist around him seemed to have transformed into a real universe. Then, he seemed to sense several eyes slowly opening in the universe.
Each eye was enormous, like a galaxy lying there, with different lights and runes shimmering around it.
It was difficult for Zuan to describe the specific appearance of those eyes in words; he only had one clear feeling.
He felt divinity.
Unlike the gods in the Heavenly Court, they were gods of a higher status, seemingly representing the origin of the universe.
Just by making contact with those eyes, he felt as if he were about to be drawn into them, as if he were to be instantly killed by one of them, and as if he were about to merge into another.
...
Unlike the bizarre situation that Zuan was encountering, the Goddess of Wushan was blushing, because she found herself on her wedding night, and the groom beside her was none other than Zuan!
