Chapter 1131: Taiyang Xing Banner (Second update, requesting everything)

"This doesn't quite fit your personality!"

Ning Bizhen looked at Li Zhangsheng in surprise; given Li Zhangsheng's cautious nature, it was almost impossible for him to take risks.

According to Li Zhangsheng's own words, he was confident he could become a Top-tier Double-Character King within a few years, so there was absolutely no need to take risks.

"Times have changed. Not to mention that the Disaster King is injured, the mere fact that he and the Taiyang Xing Banner are separated by such a great distance makes this an extremely rare opportunity. Even if I can't seize it, I must destroy it if possible."

If he lost the Taiyang Xing Banner, the Disaster King would likely no longer be able to borrow the power of the Sun Palace.

There was one more thing Li Zhangsheng did not say: he was unwilling to give up the inheritance of the ancient Star Emperor.

Ever since he had witnessed the power of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, Li Zhangsheng had been filled with anticipation for the ancient Star Emperor's inheritance.

As the palace where the ancient Star Emperor resided, Ziwei Palace likely possessed pearls related to the Nine-Layered Pagoda, perhaps even more than one.

Additionally, Li Zhangsheng also coveted the Purple Crown; the Purple Crown sealed the power of the ancient Star Emperor and could still be used at least a few more times, which could save his life or turn the tide at a critical moment.

Perhaps there were other important treasures, such as the Sun Moon Star Chart or the Ziwei Star Banner, though he did not know if the ancient Star Emperor had left behind any memory inheritance.

To say Li Zhangsheng was not curious about the affairs of the ancient era would be a lie.

Even with the memories of the Hundred Victories King, he only knew that there had been a Heaven and Earth Hegemony in the ancient era, where both sides wanted to fight for the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth, leading to a clash that ultimately resulted in a lose-lose situation.

As for why they fought for the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth, Li Zhangsheng did not understand; after all, he had not reached that level yet, and the Hundred Victories King only had a superficial understanding as well.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, directly transforming into his Dijiang Form, and tore through the air toward the Taiyang Xing Banner.

Even in the Heavenly Realm, where space was more stable, the Dijiang Form could easily tear through space.

Ning Bizhen hesitated for a moment, then had no choice but to follow Li Zhangsheng's instructions and fly toward the Taiyin Palace.

The two of them restrained their aura as much as possible and suppressed their sound, light, and color to the minimum; coupled with the fact that the Disaster King was still deep in meditation trying to break into the Ziwei Palace, he did not notice anything.

It was not until Li Zhangsheng approached the Sun Palace that the Disaster King vaguely sensed something and could not help but look toward the Sun Palace.

As a top-tier Double-Character King, the Disaster King naturally possessed an ability similar to the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique; his eyes flickered with strange light, bringing the scene of the Sun Palace hundreds of miles away into his view.

At first glance, there appeared to be nothing unusual.

The Disaster King did not look away; after all, he had refined the Sun Palace and always felt there was something abnormal near it.

The next moment, a spatial rift appeared, and the Dijiang that Li Zhangsheng had transformed into rushed out.

"Dijiang!"

The Disaster King was clearly stunned for a moment; he never expected a Dijiang to be here, and it even looked like an underage Dijiang.

The Disaster King was first ecstatic, then immediately suspicious; his intuition told him this was not a real Dijiang.

When the Disaster King saw the Dijiang's next move, he reacted immediately and wanted to recall the Taiyang Xing Banner.

At the Sun Palace, the Dijiang that Li Zhangsheng had transformed into charged straight toward the Taiyang Xing Banner a few hundred meters away.

It was not that he did not want to continue getting closer, but the space near the Sun Palace was extremely solidified; even with the standard of a Demon King level Dijiang, it was difficult to continue traveling through space, and he had to manifest prematurely.

Even so, it only took an instant for Li Zhangsheng to rush in front of the Taiyang Xing Banner.

Even from a distance of hundreds of miles, the Disaster King could still control the Taiyang Xing Banner, though the power it could exert would inevitably be greatly weakened.

The Taiyang Xing Banner shone brightly, and blooming golden flowers emerged, circling and dancing around the Taiyang Xing Banner.

With a thought from Li Zhangsheng, a precious cauldron flew out; it was the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron.

The lid of the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron opened, and the remnant souls of a fire dragon and a heavenly phoenix emerged, accompanied by a massive suction force that forcibly devoured the burning golden flowers.

Although the Dragon Phoenix Burning Heaven Cauldron was a cauldron for refining artifacts, it possessed the ability to devour all fires, and the star flames released by the Taiyang Xing Banner were, after all, of the Fire Element.

After a large number of golden flowers were devoured, the Dijiang that Li Zhangsheng had transformed into finally rushed in front of the Taiyang Xing Banner and grabbed it.

The Disaster King's expression changed abruptly, and he hurriedly took countermeasures.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow embroidered on the Taiyang Xing Banner seemed to come alive, rushing out from the banner and crashing straight into Li Zhangsheng.

Because he was too close, the Dijiang that Li Zhangsheng had transformed into could not dodge in time, and the two collided instantly.

However, before being hit, the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform suddenly appeared, instantly releasing a layer of Starlight Barrier.

The Starlight Barrier looked weak, but its defensive power was quite astonishing; the phantom of the Three-Legged Golden Crow crashed into it, only causing violent ripples, remaining unbreakable.

Like the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, the Taiyang Xing Banner also belonged to the Zifu Qizhen level. The key was that the Taiyang Xing Banner's main purpose was to form the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, while the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform was a Strange Treasure specialized in defense, so it was perfectly normal for this situation to occur.

At this moment, the Disaster King was riding a Demon Emperor level Flying Demon Pet, rushing toward the Sun Palace at high speed, but even going all out, it would still take some time.

Seeing that the phantom of the Three-Legged Golden Crow could not do anything to the Dijiang, the Disaster King was shocked while simultaneously wanting to recall the Taiyang Xing Banner, or have the Taiyang Xing Banner use the Sun Palace to evade.

Unfortunately, the timing had been lost, and how could Li Zhangsheng let the duck that was already in his hands fly away?

Li Zhangsheng bit onto the flagpole of the Taiyang Xing Banner and tried to drag it away.

However, the Taiyang Xing Banner trembled violently, preventing Li Zhangsheng from exerting his full speed, and he could see the Disaster King closing in to within a hundred-mile range.

In this situation, Li Zhangsheng hardened his heart, and spatial power surged wildly, falling onto the surface of the Taiyang Xing Banner.

The Taiyang Xing Banner began to tremble violently, and waves of spatial power began to tear the surface of the banner.

"You dare!"

A hundred miles away, the Disaster King's eyes were splitting, and his rage seemed ready to burst out of his eye sockets.

The Taiyang Xing Banner was of great significance to him; if he lost the Taiyang Xing Banner, he would be unable to borrow the power of the Sun Palace, and breaking into the Ziwei Palace would likely be extremely difficult, not to mention that the Taiyang Xing Banner had an extremely significant meaning to the Sun Palace.

Li Zhangsheng turned a deaf ear and continued to act as he pleased.

Rip—

Having only held on for an instant, the Taiyang Xing Banner could no longer withstand it, and the banner surface and the flagpole were forcibly torn into two halves.

The Disaster King was furious, his eyes turning blood-red, but the two were ultimately separated by a hundred miles, and he could only frantically pursue Li Zhangsheng, who had transformed into a Dijiang.

After putting some distance between himself and the Sun Palace, Li Zhangsheng immediately shattered space, and his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, with no one knowing where he had gone.

Soon, the Disaster King appeared at the spot where Li Zhangsheng had disappeared and cast several techniques in succession, but the results were like a clay ox entering the sea—completely useless—and he could only vent his impotent rage on the spot.
