Chapter 477: Nine Yang Burn-Heaven Mirror

In the council hall of Taiyin Shengdi, the elders and elite disciples saw the scene of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner with countless resentful souls and fierce ghosts devouring cultivators, and their fists clenched involuntarily.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner is a huge threat; if a countermeasure is not found quickly, the prestige and strength of Taiyin Shengdi will continue to suffer damage.

"If Shi Wei's 'Nine Yang Burn-Heaven Mirror' truly possesses the legendary power, it is undoubtedly the best choice to counter the Ten Thousand Soul Banner," said Taiyin Holy Maiden Xi Yi Fu in a low voice, her eyes flashing with sharp light.

"But the Endless Sea is vast and boundless, and Shi Wei's whereabouts are uncertain—how can we find him?" an elder asked worriedly.

"We have already obtained some clues; Shi Wei may recently appear near the 'Fire Dragon Island' in the Endless Sea," Xi Yi Fu replied. "I have already decided to personally go to Fire Dragon to find Shi Wei and borrow the 'Nine Yang Burn-Heaven Mirror'."

The elders, upon hearing this, all nodded in agreement.

The Taiyin Holy Maiden holds considerable status in Taiyin Shengdi; by going personally, she could very well persuade Shi Wei to lend such an important treasure.

"Holy Maiden, if you personally go to Azure Wave Island, how will the holy land's defense be handled?" an elder asked worriedly.

"The holy land's defense will be guarded by the elders and disciples themselves."

"I believe that during this time, Huang Daxian will not dare act rashly." Xi Yi Fu said confidently, "Moreover, I will bring several elite disciples along to ensure the success of the operation."

"Since the Holy Maiden has already made a decision, we will fully support her," Xi Daozi stood up, his voice full of anticipation, "We will in advance wish the Holy Maiden success on this journey, that she may achieve her wishes."

"Thank you all," Xi Yi Fu said with a slight smile.

A few days later, Taiyin Holy Maiden Xi Yi Fu, accompanied by several elite disciples of Taiyin Shengdi and a number of elders, set out on the journey to the Endless Sea.

The target is Fire Dragon, to find Shi Wei and borrow the legendary 'Nine Yang Burn-Heaven Mirror'.

At the same time.

Huang Daxian was also not idle in Black City.

He knew that Taiyin Shengdi would not let this go unanswered and would surely seek an opportunity to retaliate.

Therefore, he began to intensify his research on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, trying to find a more powerful way to use it.

In the secret chamber of Black City, Huang Daxian held the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, his eyes flashing with a cold, sinister light.

Following Longling's guidance, he began to chant the ancient incantation, attempting to establish a deeper connection with the fierce ghosts and yin souls within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

As the incantation proceeded, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner began to emit a stronger resentment and terrifying aura.

Huang Daxian could feel that the power within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was gradually increasing, filling him with confidence.

"Taiyin Shengdi, do you think that by finding external aid you can deal with me?"

"Just wait and see; I will let you know the true power of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner!" Huang Daxian's voice echoed in the secret chamber, filled with madness.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the Endless Sea, Xi Yi Fu and her companions were arduously crossing the turbulent waters.

"Holy Maiden, we will surely find Shi Wei and borrow the 'Nine Yang Burn-Heaven Mirror,' so that Taiyin Shengdi may regain its prestige!" a cultivator declared firmly.

"Not bad; the glory of Taiyin Shengdi cannot be tarnished by anyone!" Xi Yi Fu's voice was calm yet powerful, her eyes flashing with resolute determination.

The Endless Sea, vast and boundless, deep and unfathomable, its waters cover the southernmost extremity of the Tianji Shengyu.

The terrifying weather changes unpredictably, sometimes calm winds and still waves, sometimes violent storms. Sudden storms can easily destroy even the sturdiest ships, dragging sailors into the merciless waves.

In those depths lurk countless unknown giant beasts, many of which are ancient creatures left over from antiquity, mutated by the special spiritual energy of the sea.

These giant beasts are enormous in size and astonishing in strength, launching deadly attacks against any creature daring to intrude upon their territory.

The undercurrents and whirlpools on the seabed are another major killer of the Endless Sea, hiding countless prohibitions that can silently devour everything; even the most experienced sailors find them hard to predict or avoid, and once caught, hardly anyone survives.

Mist rises on the sea surface; the fog not only can cause people to lose their direction, but may also induce hallucinations, leading sailors unknowingly toward death.

Legends say that merfolk inhabit the Endless Sea, using their enchanting songs to lure passing ships; once entranced by their song, the ships lose direction, eventually striking reefs or being dragged to the seabed by sea demons.

The depths of the Endless Sea hide many unknown regions, becoming forbidden grounds in the mouths of cultivators, with powerful restrictions and curses; any cultivator who attempts to intrude will suffer severe punishment.

Amidst the waves of the Endless Sea, Xi Yi Fu and her companions endured hardships and finally reached Fire Dragon Island.

The island is shrouded in a thin mist, as if hiding countless secrets.

"Everyone be careful; there may be unknown dangers on the island," Xi Yi Fu reminded her companions, her eyes flashing with vigilance.

"Holy Maiden, rest assured, the cultivators of Taiyin Shengdi fear no challenge," Elder Feng Zhenhen said, gripping tightly a longsword that flashed with cold light.

The group proceeded cautiously into the island's interior, searching for Shi Wei's traces.

The island's vegetation is dense, from time to time strange cries of birds and beasts are heard, adding an air of mystery and danger.

After a search, they finally found Shi Wei's dwelling in a hidden valley at the island's center.

It was a simple stone hut, surrounded by some strange formations and prohibitions.

"Senior Shi Wei, I, Xi Yi Fu of the Taiyin Holy Land, request an audience," Xi Yi Fu said respectfully as she stepped forward.

The stone hut's door slowly opened, and a middle-aged cultivator stepped out.

His appearance was ordinary, but his eyes flashed with the light of profound wisdom.

"Holy Maiden of Taiyin Shengdi, what brings you here?" Shi Wei's voice was calm, without a ripple.

Xi Yi Fu detailed the conflict between Taiyin Shengdi and Huang Daxian, as well as the threat of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and requested to borrow the 'Nine Yang Burn-Heaven Mirror'.

After hearing this, Shi Wei pondered for a moment, and out of respect for the dignity of Huanyu Taiyin Shengdi, he finally nodded.

"The evil power of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner truly should not exist in the world; I can lend you the 'Nine Yang Burn-Heaven Mirror'."

"But after you return it, you must do one thing for me."

"As long as we can deal with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Taiyin Shengdi will not forget your great kindness, senior."

"I will certainly report to the sect and fulfill your wish, senior." Xi Yi Fu nodded solemnly.

"Haha, refreshing!"

Shi Wei laughed loudly and handed over an ancient mirror radiating scorching light to Xi Yi Fu.

Its surface is engraved with complex runes, emanating a power that makes one's heart palpitate.

After the cultivators with Xi Yi Fu expressed their thanks, they took the 'Nine Yang Burn-Heaven Mirror' and returned to Taiyin Shengdi.

Meanwhile, in Black City, Huang Daxian, according to the method provided by Longling, can now feel that the power within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner has reached a new height.

His eyes flashed with madness and greed.

"Taiyin Shengdi, do you think that by finding external aid you can defeat me?"

Soon, you will know, true power cannot be blocked! Huang Daxian's voice echoed in the Black City training chamber, filled with confidence and arrogance.

When Xi Yi Fu returned to Taiyin Shengdi, the eyes of all the elders and disciples of the holy land shone with excitement as they gazed upon the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror.

"Holy Maiden, everything is ready." Xi Daozi stepped forward, holding a longsword that flashed with cold light.

"Ha ha, good!" Xi Yi Fu's voice was firm and powerful, and the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror in her hand emitted a dazzling light.

On the vast plain between Black City and Taiyin Shengdi, two powerful forces collided again.

Huang Daxian held the Myriad Soul Banner, while Xi Yi Fu firmly gripped the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror, and the eyes of both sides flashed with unyielding fighting spirit.

"Huang Daxian, your evil deeds end here!" Xi Yi Fu's voice echoed across the battlefield, and the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror in her hand emitted scorching beams of light that shot straight to the heavens.

"Ha ha ha, Taiyin Holy Maiden, do you think you can defeat me with just a magical treasure? How naïve!" Huang Daxian laughed maniacally, and the Myriad Soul Banner in his hand began to exude a stronger resentment and terrifying aura.

The Myriad Soul Banner was pitch black all over, its surface covered with eerie runes, each rune resembling a tiny black hole that devoured the surrounding light and vitality.

"Whoosh—"

At this moment, the banner fluttered in the wind, each swing accompanied by the wails and screams of countless evil ghosts; they were innocent souls swallowed by the banner, now bound within it, becoming a murderous treasure that reaps lives.

"Bang bang bang—"

The Myriad Soul Banner released a towering black mist, the mist filled with resentment and deathly energy, behaving like living things that entwined and corroded anything they touched.

The evil ghosts appeared and disappeared within the black mist, their eyes flashing with an eerie green light, emitting piercing shrieks that made one's scalp tingle, as if searching for living spirits.

"Hmph—"

Seeing this, the Taiyin Holy Maiden's eyes flashed with a chilling light; the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror hovered above her head, constantly rotating, and in the face of the Myriad Soul Banner's evil attack, the mirror displayed its unparalleled power.

This ancient mirror was forged from the purest essence of heavenly yang; its surface was as smooth as a mirror, capable of reflecting the most scorching light in the world.

Under the Taiyin Holy Maiden's urging, the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror began to emit dazzling golden light, which contained the utmost yang and rigid power, the bane of all yin and evil things.

Wherever the golden light reached, the black mist melted away like ice and snow under a scorching sun.

Under the golden light's illumination, the evil ghosts emitted mournful wails; their ghostly forms began to smoke, eventually turning into wisps of green smoke that dissipated into the air.

"Rumble—"

The powers of the Myriad Soul Banner and the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror collided completely.

Huang Daxian's magical power surged throughout his body, continuously pouring his cultivation level into the Myriad Soul Banner, causing the runes on the banner to emit a blood-red light, the black mist becoming denser, as if it sought to devour the entire world.

The Taiyin Holy Maiden was also the conclusion of the hand-printed express delivery, and the light of the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror's surface became even more scorching.

Within the golden light, specks of starlight began to appear, each point of light like a miniature sun, emitting endless heat.

In the contest between light and darkness, the sky alternated between being shrouded in black mist and glittering with golden light.

The watching cultivators all held their breath and stared intently; whether they were from Taiyin Shengdi or Black City, none participated.

"Bang—"

Above the sky shrouded in dark clouds, the atmosphere was oppressively heavy, with lightning and thunder raging in all directions.

"Woo woo woo—"

Huang Daxian's Myriad Soul Banner danced wildly in the wind, emitting a heart-pounding howl.

The runes on the banner seemed to come alive, flickering with a dim light, each rune like a twisted face filled with pain and anger.

The countless resentful spirits contained within the Myriad Soul Banner, driven by Huang Daxian's evil magical power, formed streams of black energy that swirled around him, making his silhouette appear even more sinister and terrifying.

"Today is your day of death!"

The Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror above the head of Taiyin Holy Maiden Xi Yi Fu emitted a warm and dazzling light, like a blazing sun hanging in the horizon.

The runes on the mirror's surface flowed with golden radiance, emitting the utmost yang and rigid aura, forming a stark contrast with the yin chill of the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Who can't boast!"

"Your bragging is as big as your masculinity, about to burst!"

A cold smirk curled Huang Daxian's lips as the Myriad Soul Banner shuddered violently, unleashing countless bolts of black lightning that surged straight at Xi Yi Fu.

These lightning bolts were filled with the resentment and curses of vengeful spirits; upon striking, they would not only destroy the opponent's flesh but also corrode their soul.

Xi Yi Fu's expression remained unchanged.

The Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror in her hand slowly rose, its surface facing those black lightning bolts.

As she poured her magical power into it, the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror emitted beams of golden light that collided with the black lightning in midair.

Each impact produced a deafening roar, as the golden and black lights intertwined to form a spectacular scene.

Seeing this, Huang Daxian's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity.

He poured all of his magical power into the Myriad Soul Banner, making the runes on its surface shine brighter and the black energy it released even denser.

He let out a loud shout, and the resentful spirits within the Myriad Soul Banner, as if receiving orders, transformed into countless black shadows that lunged at Xi Yi Fu.

Xi Yi Fu did not retreat but advanced, her figure swiftly moving between the mountain peaks, while the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror in her hand continuously emitted golden beams that repelled those resentful spirits one by one.

At the same time, she began to chant an ancient incantation; as the chant progressed, the light of the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror grew hotter, and the surrounding air began to warp.

Finally, at the moment the incantation was completed, the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror released a massive golden pillar of light that shot straight to the heavens; this pillar pierced the dark clouds, dyeing the entire sky gold.

Within the light pillar lay endless yang energy, the bane of all yin and evil things.

Huang Daxian felt the pressure of the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his heart.

He desperately drove the Myriad Soul Banner, trying to block this powerful yang energy.

However, the power of the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror was too great; under the golden light pillar's illumination, the resentful spirits within the Myriad Soul Banner emitted mournful wails one after another, turning into wisps of green smoke that dissipated into the air.

Finally, under the sustained illumination of the golden light pillar, the black energy of the Myriad Soul Banner was completely purified, and the runes on its surface lost their light, becoming dim and lusterless.

As the Myriad Soul Banner vanished, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and sunlight once again bathed the earth.

With the Nine Yang Scorching Heaven Mirror atop her head, Xi Yi Fu was like a sun deity incarnate, sacred and inviolable.

The mirror contained a warm and sacred aura, the condensation of the utmost yang and rigid energy between heaven and earth, shimmering with a soft, mysterious light, as if engaging in some mysterious communion with the heavenly yang of the universe.

As the smooth mirror's surface flowed with runes, it held profound and mighty power.

"Ha ha, very good.

This is the first time, upon entering the Taiji Holy Realm, that I have encountered a Dharma treasure capable of restraining the Myriad Soul Banner.

However, you trying to kill me with this is still not possible.

Huang Daxian's mouth corner flashed a hint of a sinister hue as he said.
