"To crack this formation, the simplest and most direct way is to directly destroy its core."
Taoist Wu Liang followed Chaofeng's guidance and headed southeast.
The core of the formation is the most critical thing for the formation to run. Usually, a specially refined magic weapon can be used as the core.
Otherwise, ordinary magic weapons simply cannot withstand the pressure of such a large array and will explode directly.
Along the way, Taoist Wu Liang followed Chaofeng's guidance and kept moving towards a certain place.
As we go deeper.
The ancient ruins, which were originally dead silent, echoed with a sharp and penetrating wail in the air.
The wailing sounds were very dense, like stepping into the Nine Nether Hells, with thousands of ghosts wailing and being punished in despair.
The spiritual lamp also became dimmed amidst the eerie wailing sound.
You will also feel restless and restless in your heart unconsciously, becoming upset and unable to stay calm.
"This wailing sound has the special effect of attacking the soul. Everyone, please recite the mind-purifying mantra with me to resist these sonic interferences!"
Taoist Wu Liang noticed something was wrong and turned to Zhou You and others.
Under his leadership, several people recited the mind-purifying mantra, constantly counteracting the strange and incomparable wails.
Tsk~
In the sky, there seemed to be a black shadow passing by!
At first, Zhou You thought it was because he was dazzled, but more and more black shadows passed across the sky, finally letting him know that he was not wrong.
"What the hell are these dark shadows?"
Zhou You frowned when he saw the gloomy black shadows floating in the sky.
"It should be something similar to Weird." Shenxiu said softly.
Gradually, more and more black shadows floated in the sky, forming black clouds that seemed to cover the entire ruins, making people feel extremely depressed.
"Look!" Taoist Wu Liang, who was walking at the front, suddenly exclaimed.
Hearing the words and looking around.
I saw a scarlet flag erected in a ruins in the distance!
This scarlet flag moves automatically in the absence of wind. On the flag is a ferocious and ugly four-armed ghost!
The moment he saw these four-armed ghosts, Zhou You had the illusion that the four-armed ghosts were about to break free from the flags and pounce on him.
That strange and oppressive feeling almost made him want to draw his sword.
In the end, he still suppressed his sexual impulse.
In this weird place, no matter what you do, you can't be impulsive, let alone let desire devour your soul.
"Don't act rashly!"
Zhou You shouted in a deep voice.
Nangong Yue's slender hand had already been placed on the hilt of the sword. When she heard Zhou You's words, she felt like she was waking up from a dream.
"Just now, the four-armed ghost seemed to be rushing towards me..." Nangong Yue said with lingering fear.
Shenxiu's performance was relatively calm, with his hands clasped together, and he was not frightened by the four-armed ghosts and gods flying the flag.
"Damn fat man, is this the core of the formation you are talking about?" Zhou You stepped forward and asked.
"This should be the legendary evil weapon, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."
"Ten Thousand Souls Banner?" Zhou You exclaimed softly.
"Yes, don't think that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner sounds simple. In fact, to become a ghost within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, you need to swallow at least ten thousand souls."
"In other words, to refine a Ten Thousand Soul Flag, at least 100 million human lives are needed..."
"This evil weapon only appeared in the era of gods and demons. Later, because it was too cruel and bloody, even the gods and demons banned its refining!"
Taoist priest Wu Liang's tone was extremely serious.
In the age of gods and demons, gods and demons regarded humans as blood food.
But Ten Thousand Souls is really too cruel and consumes so many humans.
If we refine a few more Ten Thousand Soul Banners later, all humans will die and no one will have blood to eat. Naturally, most gods and demons will not allow this to happen.
Therefore, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was lost in the age of gods and demons.
Unexpectedly, today, I can still see this Ten Thousand Souls Flag with my own eyes.
When Zhou You heard Taoist Wu Liang's introduction, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
An evil weapon that needs to absorb hundreds of millions of dead souls to be refined...how terrifying is its power?
It's simply unimaginable.
Can a few of them compete with this Ten Thousand Soul Banner?
Seemingly seeing the worry in Zhou You's eyes, Taoist Wu Liang added: "But it seems to me that the Ten Thousand Soul Banner has not been successfully refined. It should be a semi-finished product."
If it were a true Ten Thousand Souls Banner, even the ancient gods would not be willing to use it as a defensive weapon.
"Look...behind that Ten Thousand Souls Flag...there are many corpses standing there."
Nangong Yue whispered.
Zhou You and others looked around and found that there were many wooden frames standing behind the Ten Thousand Souls Flag.
Because the vision was too dark, even with a wandering eye, one could only see dry corpses tied to these wooden frames.
The limbs of these corpses were spread out, their abdomens were peeled open, and their two shriveled eyeballs looked grim.
"This is the practice of caesarean... Before the person dies, they tie the living person to a wooden frame, then cut open the abdomen alive and bleed to death."
"This method is extremely cruel, but it can also breed huge resentment in the deceased and turn it into something vicious and treacherous."
Taoist priest Wu Liang said in a deep voice.
He thought for a moment, took out a piece of blue talisman paper, and threw it behind the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
This is a yin fire talisman. When it encounters yin energy, it will turn into yin fire and burn, and it will not disturb Wei Wei.
Bang~!
The blue talisman turned into a ball of blue phosphorescence in the air, allowing Zhou You and others to see the true situation clearly.
It turned out that the wooden frame they saw was just the tip of the iceberg, and there were densely packed wooden frames behind it. It was impossible to see the end at a glance...
On each wooden frame, there is a corpse tied.
Zhou You's eyes were sharp and he quickly zeroed in on one of the corpses.
The clothes on his body were those specially designed for demon slayers. Even though the blood was drained and his cheeks were shriveled, Zhou You could still recognize him at a glance.
This is the veteran demon slayer who went to the Tomb of the Ancient Gods with Xun Min not long ago, and he is also an innate realm master.
Now he is dying here without life or death.
However, apart from this corpse, he never found any corpses of the Demon Slayer.
This also made him feel a little relieved.
"They're moving!"
Nangong Yue exclaimed at this moment.
The mummies that were tied to the wooden frame and whose abdomens were cut open moved!
To be precise, their eyes moved.
Those pairs of dry eyes exuded shocking malice, staring intently at these uninvited guests.
It was like countless densely packed scarlet light spots lit up in the darkness, making one's scalp numb.
Huhuhu~
in the air.
The sound of crying and wailing seemed to become more intense.
The sinister wind gusts, and the dead bodies are resurrected.
Overhead above the ruins.
The black clouds formed by the black shadows suddenly dispersed, like heavy rain, and poured into the dried corpses one after another.
An astonishing and boundless smell of bloody death filled the air and spread.
