Aoooo~

The roar of the dragon echoed in the cave, and golden light burst forth from within a hundred meters, causing the Yin souls to retreat in terror.

Chu Nan's entire body was ablaze with golden light, and under the illumination of the Dragon Slaughter Tower, his skin faintly bore a golden scale armor.

"Go!"

With a single hand gesture, Chu Nan commanded the Dragon Slaughter Tower to crush in all directions, turning thousands of Yin souls into dust.

"How is this possible!" Emperor Zhou was shocked, especially when he saw the Dragon Qi erupting from Chu Nan's body, he exclaimed in disbelief, "Dragon Qi, could you be one of the Qin Royal Family?"

"No, that's not right!"

"Even if he were a member of the Qin Royal Family, the Dragon Qi could never be this dense, who exactly are you!"

Dragon Qi is unique to the Ji family of the Qin Kingdom, the foundation of their ability to establish a nation in the Celestial Crossing Realm, it can be said to be an important symbol of the Ji family.

Therefore, witnessing the power of Dragon Qi erupt from Chu Nan, Emperor Zhou was extremely shocked.

Yet he quickly calmed down, his vicious gaze revealing that Chu Nan was not of the Qin Royal Family, and this only incited his excitement further.

"Although the quantity is insufficient, the quality of this Dragon Qi surpasses that of the Ji family!"

Emperor Zhou's lips curled into a cold smile, "My desire to possess you grows firmer, I truly wish to uncover the secrets hidden in you!"

"Battle Soul Banner, Giant Ghost!"

Emperor Zhou knew the fight had reached its critical moment, wielding the Battle Soul Banner, he swung it nine times, each swing unleashing a thousand Yin souls, ultimately forming a nine thousand strong Yin soul, transforming into a colossal martial artist Yin soul charging at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan's eyes were solemn, nine thousand Yin souls' power gathered together, surprisingly undeterred against the seventh level of the Cloud Sea Realm!

But he did not fear, with Dragon Qi erupting, his strength surpassed before, coupled with the Dragon Slaughter Tower, a supreme treasure exceeding the level of imperial spiritual weapons.

"Dragon Slaughter Tower, kill for me!"

Chu Nan commanded the Dragon Tower to charge at the Yin soul martial artist.

The roar of the true dragon made the enormous Yin soul tremble ceaselessly, as if facing its natural nemesis.

Chu Nan's Dragon Qi fused with the power of the Sea of Clouds, coalescing into golden flames that enveloped his body, as if he were a War God bathed in the sun.

The Dual Swords slashed out together, the gathered Sword Qi transformed into a roaring giant dragon, winding its way towards Emperor Zhou.

Boom ka!

The Dragon Slaughter Tower fiercely crushed the Yin soul giant, countless Yin souls swept by the Dragon Qi, turning into starlight.

Emperor Zhou directed the Battle Soul Banner with all his might, releasing nearly ten thousand Yin souls to fend off Chu Nan's martial skills, yet upon encountering Chu Nan's golden flames, they all ignited, their souls scattered!

Immediately followed by a thud, the body Emperor Zhou had just possessed was shattered under the impact of Sword Qi, fragments of flesh flying everywhere in a ghastly scene.

"I! The dignified Emperor Zhou, defeated by a mere junior of the second level of the Cloud Sea Realm, I am unwilling~"

Emperor Zhou's voice gradually faded, a Bronze Lamp fell with a crash as Zhan Peng's body was destroyed.

The gray flame that once burned within it extinguished completely at this moment.

A legendary martial artist's mortal body was destroyed by Chu Nan, and the one who destroyed it was merely a sixteen-year-old boy.

Liang Yu fainted from blood loss on the side, knowing nothing of what Chu Nan had done.

Chu Nan first glanced at the Battle Soul Banner, this giant banner capable of binding souls for use, was a terrifying spiritual weapon with extremely high potential.

"This banner, like the Blood Pattern Sword, has great growth potential, but raising the Blood Pattern Sword to imperial grade is already its limit, while this Battle Soul Banner, if it could absorb more martial artists' Yin souls, might surpass imperial grade!"

Though this Battle Soul Banner seemed terrifying, Chu Nan didn't care, directly refining it into his storage bag.

After refining it, Chu Nan discovered the banner didn't hold a million Yin souls; at full power, it was no more than a hundred thousand.

But Chu Nan was not surprised, with Emperor Zhou's strength, refining a hundred thousand Yin souls was already terrifying.

The recent battle significantly reduced the number of Yin souls, leaving less than sixty thousand.

These sixty thousand Yin souls were primarily Yang Wheel Yin Souls, over fifty thousand, with ten thousand from the Divine Illumination Realm, and a mere few dozen from the Cloud Sea Realm.

Furthermore, most were from the first to fifth level of the Cloud Sea Realm, and only two from the seventh level remained.

Perhaps there were once more Cloud Sea Realm Yin souls, but they were slain by Chu Nan's Dragon Slaughter Tower just now.

"Even so, this Battle Soul Banner is worthy of being called an imperial-grade spiritual weapon, devouring more Yin souls could surely surpass imperial grade!"

Chu Nan was very satisfied with the Battle Soul Banner, with the impending conflict between the Spirit Corpse Sect and the alliance of sects, there was no worry about the source of Yin souls.

After acquiring the Battle Soul Banner, Chu Nan's gaze fell on the Bronze Lamp.

Compared to the Battle Soul Banner, this Bronze Lamp was actually more valuable.

The souls within the Battle Soul Banner existed but had long lost themselves, unable to exhibit their full strength prior to death, merely puppets under control.

However, Emperor Zhou within this Bronze Lamp was quite different, as he retained his pre-death rationality and memory, even his cultivation!

Chu Nan vividly remembered the scene of Emperor Zhou using the Bronze Lamp to possess Zhan Peng, truly a work of divine craftsmanship.

If the Bronze Lamp fully fused with Zhan Peng's body, Emperor Zhou might regain his peak ninth level of the Cloud Sea Realm, at which point Chu Nan would have to ask Lu Yao for help to vanquish it.

"This lamp not only stores a martial artist's soul, keeping it undying but also maintains pre-death cultivation, its quality is likely also imperial grade!"

Gently picking it up, Chu Nan played with the Bronze Lamp in his hand, preparing to let it recognize its master by blood when a cold laugh suddenly echoed: "Youngster, still a youngster indeed, far behind me!"

Boom!

Gray flames ignited on the surface of Chu Nan's body, the entire Bronze Lamp transformed into a massive shadow, directly rushing into Chu Nan's Dantian.

Chu Nan stood there, immobile.

Inside Dantian, Chu Nan's cultivation surged endlessly, a Bronze Lamp slowly emerged.

Soon after, centered around the Bronze Lamp, a Sea of Clouds, a core of Yin soul's dark power, gently formed and quickly spread within the Dantian.

Chu Nan clearly felt this newly formed Sea of Clouds firmly integrate with his body, as if not foreign, but derived from his own cultivation.

Before Chu Nan could react, all of Emperor Zhou's power of cultivation from his lifetime transformed into his Three-Heaven Sea of Clouds!

Chu Nan's aura soared at this moment, as the Three-Heaven appeared, his body began to evolve, and the spiritual power within him grew even more terrifying.

The process of Emperor Zhou's possession forcibly elevated Chu Nan's realm by one level!

Soon, Emperor Zhou's soul body emerged from the newly formed Three-Heaven, within the Yin Soul Sea of Clouds, sneering as he said: "Boy, you are still too young after all, despite my current inability to possess you, I can take my time!"

Chu Nan's Spiritual Sense transformed into a new self, confronting Emperor Zhou from Dantian, asking: "Oh? How do you intend to proceed?"
