Realizing that he messed up again, the Vajra Giant Ape didn't hesitate and with a bang, knelt swiftly on the ground, lowered its head, and pleaded, "Big brother, I was wrong. I promise I won't ever call you invincible again!"

As long as the big brother doesn't swallow it, it would do anything he commanded!

Fang Yuan looked at the pitiful sight of the Vajra Giant Ape, speechless, then retracted his own aura, letting the menacing energy flow back into his body, and said calmly, "Didn't I tell you before that I have an elder brother?"

"My elder brother's strength far surpasses mine, so in the future, don't use the title 'invincible' on me, the Demon Monarch!"

With Jiang Che around, the previous proclamation of Fang Yuan being invincible screamed by the Vajra Giant Ape was not a source of glory for Fang Yuan but rather felt like a shame.

The gap between him and his elder brother was crystal clear to Fang Yuan; even though he had broken through in cultivation now, he didn't think he could shake his elder brother in the slightest.

"The elder brother you're talking about, is it Thunder Tiger? Is its strength truly greater than yours?"

Since Fang Yuan had mentioned it before, the Vajra Giant Ape knew that its big brother also had an elder brother, which is the very famous Thunder Tiger, but hearing the acknowledgment from his big brother that he was not on par with Thunder Tiger, it was somewhat hard to believe and asked.

Although Thunder Tiger was very strong, its big brother's strength was something it had witnessed, terrifyingly strong, and now, even with the breakthrough in cultivation, could it still not compare to Thunder Tiger?

"I already told you, that's my elder brother. Is Thunder Tiger someone you can address casually?"

Hearing the Vajra Giant Ape's question, Fang Yuan was a bit angered, slapped its forehead, and coldly chided.

Hiss~

A surge of intense pain washed over its forehead, and the Vajra Giant Ape was almost knocked out.

However, after regaining its senses, the Vajra Giant Ape understood the hidden meaning in the words just said by the big brother, fell into deep shock, eyes widened.

Could Thunder Tiger's strength be this formidable?

Its own boastful big brother openly admitted being inferior!

"It seems I underestimated this one before!"

The mind of the Vajra Giant Ape was racing with thoughts, unable to calm the shock in its heart for a long time, and after a while, it raised its head again, smiling sheepishly, and said, "Big brother, moving forward, I'll refer to Thunder Tiger as—elder brother of the big brother!"

"Get up!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded; as long as it wasn't calling names directly, any fitting term of respect was acceptable.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Feeling at ease, the Vajra Giant Ape relaxed its tense body and slowly stood up.

Suddenly, Fang Yuan seemed to remember something, glanced at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner hanging above, and then instructed the Vajra Giant Ape, "Go guard outside the valley. Without the Demon Monarch's order, no one is allowed in, understood?"

"Yes, little brother will go immediately and will not let any living being trespass, rest assured big brother!"

Although puzzled in its heart, the Vajra Giant Ape swiftly thumped its chest in compliance, turned, and walked out.

When the Vajra Giant Ape's figure vanished past the valley entrance, Fang Yuan beckoned the Ten Thousand Souls Banner down from overhead with a wave.

"Now that the Demon Monarch's cultivation has broken through to the fifth level, the speed of refining these soul bodies will surely accelerate!"

Gazing at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his palm, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Returning to the Cold Pond, Fang Yuan submerged himself again, suspending the Ten Thousand Souls Banner before him, unveiling a torrent of blood-colored Spiritual Power to refine the souls within the banner.

Immediately, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which originally emitted a faint red glow, quivered gently in the air, the blood-colored light visibly intensified, and the evil black mist kept swirling over the banner.

As the soul bodies within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner rapidly decreased, the restless ghostly faces on the blood-colored banner also increased swiftly, the intensity of their struggles on the banner surface grew, and the ear-piercing, soul-stirring ghost wails echoed through the valley.

With time passing, the blood-colored spiritual light on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner grew more intense, the black mist spreading was exceptionally dense, and the sound of ghost wailing resembled a storm on the sea, becoming increasingly terrifying and violent.

Half a day passed, and the entire valley was now shrouded in thick fog, the black mist churning continuously, emitting eerie noises; inside, indistinctly came terrifying ripples as if something unknown and dangerous lurked within.

Suddenly, a beam of blood-colored light pierced through the dense black mist barrier and shot up into the sky, gradually, more beams of piercing light emerged, one after another, from the valley, shooting straight into the firmament.

The blood-colored glow became increasingly dazzling, dyeing the entire sky over Yin Yue Mountain a vast expanse of red.

Boom!

Suddenly, a blood banner soared skyward, fluttering in the wind, erupting with endless blood light and terrifying black mist over the crimson sky, the blood light carrying the black mist swept across the world, forming an apocalyptic spectacle!

At this moment, the area around the Ten Thousand Souls Banner manifested countless ghastly phantom howls, emitting an incredibly terrifying aura, pressing the various fierce beasts in the mountains below into submission.

"Isn't this the big brother's Spirit Treasure? What on earth is he doing inside?"

Outside the valley, the Vajra Giant Ape was also significantly frightened, hurriedly huddling under a big tree nearby, too scared to peek out.

"Come back!"

In the valley where the black mist dissipated, Fang Yuan slowly emerged, looking at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner above with joy, and softly called out.

Instantly, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in the sky withdrew its numerous manifestations, transforming into a streak of crimson light, returning to Fang Yuan's hand.

"Hehehe, the Demon Monarch has finally upgraded this treasure to a Spirit Treasure!"

Gazing at the immensely spirited Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand, Fang Yuan couldn't hold back a satisfied laugh; this was a Spirit Treasure, and moreover, a powerful offensive Spirit Treasure.

"However, this is just a low-level Spirit Treasure, and further upgrading requires more powerful soul bodies!"

Suddenly, Fang Yuan's smile receded, a gleam of blood flashed in his eyes.

Clearly, he was not content with this.

"Go, gather a large number of demon soldiers for me in the coming time, the Demon Monarch will strike against the Great Qin Empire again!"

Suddenly, Fang Yuan's gaze shifted to the Vajra Giant Ape hiding under a tree nearby, giving a cold command.

"Yes, big brother, I'll take care of it right away!"

Looking at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in Fang Yuan's hand, the Vajra Giant Ape felt its scalp tingle, hurriedly nodded; compared to staying here in fear, running outside felt more liberating.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, day and night, the Vajra Giant Ape finally assembled tens of thousands of demon soldiers, forming a beast tide.

Not long after, under the leadership of Fang Yuan, the Vajra Giant Ape and his minions, the beast tide swarmed into Qingyuan City in Jiang Province of the Great Qin Empire, at the city gates.

In an instant, the Great Qin Empire was shocked, the internet was in chaos.

The Black Demon Tiger has returned with a vengeance; is it seeking to destroy our Great Qin Empire?
