Chapter 695

After preparing all the materials, Ye Lin began the refining of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

He first took out the Soul Refining Spectrum he got from Sushan and studied it carefully again; after confirming it was correct, he started to take action.

"Forbidden Spell: Nether Ghost Fire!"

As the most yin and soft fire specifically targeting the soul, Nether Ghost Fire is the best material for refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Ye Lin first melted the Heaven-Crying Stone and Thousand-Soul Jade Marrow with Nether Ghost Fire, then cut the blood wood into the shape of a banner bone, and carved talismans specifically for suppressing and binding soul bodies on the blood wood while it was still there.

Immediately after, he wove the Nether Cold Silkworm Silk into a banner surface; thus, the basic preparatory work was considered complete.

"The banner surface and banner bone are connected by Seven-Kill Soul-Suppressing Nails, which can directly suppress the souls that want to resist."

Ye Lin took out several strange nails, which had profound talismans that were difficult to understand.

He nailed the banner surface and banner bone together with these nails, and a simple flag took shape at this moment.

Afterward, he fused the melted Heaven-Crying Stone and Thousand-Soul Jade Marrow with this embryonic Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and a mysterious aura suddenly emerged on the flag, which had a strange attraction to souls.

Finally, Ye Lin took out a flower.

This flower was bright red, and in the middle of the flower was not a stamen, but a ferocious ghost face!

Ten Thousand Evil Ghost Face Flower!

With this flower, it can greatly enhance the fierce evil aura on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and combined with the Seven-Kill Soul-Suppressing Nails, it is enough to make the resentful souls in the banner not dare to have any resistance.

When the Ten Thousand Evil Ghost Face Flower was also melted under the burning of the Nether Ghost Fire and slowly fused with the banner surface, this Ten Thousand Soul Banner was refined!

Boom!

The moment the banner was formed, thunder suddenly rose from the flat ground.

Ye Lin clearly felt that at least several hundred years of his lifespan had passed at this moment.

"Such a strong backlash; no wonder so few people refine the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."

Ye Lin was a bit surprised; refining it would deduct several hundred years of lifespan. Unless one truly had a blood feud and didn't want to live, who would refine this thing?

At the same time, Ye Lin was also a bit pleasantly surprised; was he finally about to welcome divine retribution?

He saw the robbery clouds above the sky constantly gathering; at this moment, the robbery clouds seemed to have suddenly noticed something.

The gathered robbery clouds slowly dissipated.

"My enthusiastic horse!"

Ye Lin, whose defense was broken, directly scolded out loud.

"I've already refined a demonic artifact like the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and you still won't strike me? You are not worthy of being a heavenly tribulation! I want to report you!"

Ye Lin was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

If it weren't for this heavenly thunder making trouble and not striking him, let alone the Thousand Tribulation Holy Body, he might have already cultivated the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Body.

And after surviving the heavenly tribulation, this Ten Thousand Soul Banner was officially born.

For other evil cultivators, the most difficult part of refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is dealing with the heavenly tribulation after it is refined.

At this time, there are no soul bodies in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which is the most fragile time, and it is very easy to collapse directly under the brilliant heavenly power of the heavenly tribulation.

And for Ye Lin, this last and most difficult step became the simplest.

Only then did Ye Lin have time to carefully observe the first Ten Thousand Soul Banner he had refined.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner he refined with Nether Ghost Fire and Sin Mirror Hall materials was clearly much better in quality than Sushan's.

After all, Sushan couldn't get any good materials, which is the fundamental reason why his Ten Thousand Soul Banner could only accommodate 50,000 soul bodies; Sushan's Ten Thousand Soul Banner was essentially a defective product.

According to Ye Lin's own estimation, this Ten Thousand Soul Banner he refined himself could accommodate at least several hundred thousand soul bodies!

As for exactly how many it could accommodate, it also depends on the quality of the soul bodies.

For example, collecting 10,000 soul bodies of cultivators in the Mortal Three Realms and collecting 10,000 soul bodies of cultivators in the Dao Five Tribulations, the occupancy rate in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner is definitely different.

The stronger the soul body, the higher the occupancy rate of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Assuming it can hold 1,000,000 of the Mortal Three Realms, converted into cultivators of the Dao Five Tribulations, it might only be 300,000 or even 200,000 left.

However, Ye Lin was not discouraged; he was already very satisfied to be able to refine a Ten Thousand Soul Banner of this quality. If the quality is not good, we will win by quantity.

He first transferred all the soul bodies in Sushan's Ten Thousand Soul Banner to the new Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and then Ye Lin started the next round of refining without stopping.

Practice makes perfect; with the experience of refining the first Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the second Ten Thousand Soul Banner was quickly refined by Ye Lin.

This time, there was no thunder, no robbery clouds, but the deducted lifespan directly doubled, reaching more than a thousand years.

Ye Lin died with a snap.

With his current cultivation of the late-stage Heaven-Tier, his total lifespan was only about five hundred years.

Fortunately, Ye Lin had many lives; otherwise, just refining the second Ten Thousand Soul Banner could have taken his little life.

After understanding that refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner only deducted lifespan, Ye Lin also let go and started working.

"Forbidden Spell: One Qi Transforms Three Purities!"

Ye Lin directly released three clones to speed up the refining work of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Every time a Ten Thousand Soul Banner was refined, Ye Lin would die once with a snap.

By the time he refined the ninth Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the lifespan deducted from Ye Lin had already reached a full 100,000 years or more!

Being deducted 100,000 years of lifespan in one breath, even if the top powerhouses of the Longevity Continent came, they would have to die with a snap.

But Ye Lin was not afraid at all; he added the power of the Undying and Indestructible Divine Realm to himself. At this moment, he essentially could not be considered a living person; he was just a speck of dust in the Great Thousand World.

Dust, where does the lifespan come from?

However, even so, after refining the ninth Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Ye Lin also took a long, long time to recover.

"Strange, is there any taboo in refining the Ten Thousand Soul Banner that I don't know about?"

Ye Lin scratched his head.

But he didn't think much about it; there were still materials, and the tenth Ten Thousand Soul Banner started refining directly!

Just as he wanted to start refining the tenth Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Ye Lin suddenly shivered, and cold sweat broke out instantly.

I don't know why, but he suddenly had a strange feeling in the dark.

It was as if if he refined this tenth Ten Thousand Soul Banner, he would wake something up.

That thing gave Ye Lin a feeling of extreme danger; it was an indescribable great terror.

If it were awakened, he would probably be erased directly.

Erasing all traces of his existence in the world, destroying all his karma, it was equivalent to him never having existed.

It was like cutting a corner directly off a painting and burning it to ashes.

Ye Lin couldn't help but swallow his Adam's apple.

This feeling was extremely strong; it was not the feeling of being killed, but of being completely erased!

When he gave up the idea of refining the tenth Ten Thousand Soul Banner, this feeling immediately disappeared without a trace.

And as long as he had the idea of refining, that terrifying feeling would appear again.

It was as if there had always been a pair of eyes watching him in the dark...
