Chapter 392: The Power of the Magical Treasure

Magic treasure!It's actually a magic treasure!

Yu Hua's cultivation level was undoubtedly at most the Pseudo-Core stage.

Yet, at this moment, he could command the main souls to wield the authentic Ten Directions Yama Banner. The banner unfurled, flapping loudly, with rolling black flames, clearly indicating that the magic treasure's power had been activated.

So, with the power of the Ten Directions Yama Formation, Foundation Establishment cultivators could use magic treasures!

It was a universally accepted truth that one could not wield magic treasures without forming a Golden Core. Only a few rare exceptions, such as the Soul-Nourishing Sword Chapter, might break this iron rule.

Qin Sang had never considered this possibility before.

Only five genuine Ten Directions Yama Banners, forged by Patriarch Kuiyin, existed in the world. Even within the Kuiyin Sect, these magic treasures were mostly controlled by Core Formation cultivators, and very few knew this secret or could put it to use.

Liang Yan, with his low cultivation and status, wasn't privy to many secrets and was clearly unaware of the truth.

Sun De might have known, but Qin Sang didn't know the Soul Seizing Spell when he dealt with him.

Back then, Qin Sang's strength was meager, and he walked on thin ice, not daring to risk keeping Sun De alive. Otherwise, it would have been akin to negotiating with a tiger; Sun De clearly hadn't told the truth and held many secrets.

The forging method for the Ten Directions Yama Banner artifact, passed down by Patriarch Kuiyin, was inextricably linked to the Ten Directions Yama Banner magic treasure.

The ability to wield magic treasures through an unconventional path via the Ten Directions Yama Formation was this formation's most potent capability!

This particular Ten Directions Yama Banner magic treasure must be the one Zhao Yan left in the clam shell at the bottom of Yuanzhao Peak's lake, used to trap the Yuanzhao Sect's Foundation Establishment disciple guarding the Nine Illusory Heavenly Orchid.

Although Qin Sang coveted the magic treasure at the time, he dared not claim it. Releasing the trapped individual would have surely led to his own death first, so he had to reluctantly depart.

It seems Yu Hua later returned to the lake bottom amidst the chaos, and this magic treasure fell into his hands.

This person's intentions were also impure. Seeing the Kuiyin Sect's destruction, he clearly harbored thoughts of seizing treasures amidst the disorder, constantly searching for Zhao Yan to snatch the Nine Illusory Heavenly Orchid.

Even if Zhao Yan hadn't been killed by Qin Sang, he would have died at Yu Hua's hands.

Qin Sang secretly felt fortunate that his disguise had misled Yu Hua, and Yu Hua could never have imagined that someone could ignore the threat of the Heart-Devouring Gu, thus never suspecting Qin Sang himself.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Yu Hua's figure emerged from behind the main souls. His face was unnaturally pale, the kind of pallor from excessive blood loss, yet it held a sinister grin and murderous intent.

“To force this old man to expend essence blood and activate a magic treasure, you should be proud!” Yu Hua snarled. “Hand over the Nine Illusory Heavenly Orchid, and I can give you a quick end. Otherwise, I’ll send you into the Yama Banner to experience the taste of ten thousand ghosts devouring your soul!”

Qin Sang clenched his fists, coldly staring at Yu Hua. He had long known Yu Hua's objective; if it weren't for the fear of Qin Sang dying and the Nine Illusory Heavenly Orchid being lost, Yu Hua would have already activated the Heart-Devouring Gu and delivered a killing blow.

As if oblivious to Yu Hua's threat, Qin Sang's mind raced, contemplating something.

Magic treasure...Essence blood...

Qin Sang's gaze shifted, focusing intently on the Ten Directions Yama Banner magic treasure.

The magic treasure released rolling black flames from its surface, deeper and purer than the ghostly fire conjured by ghost-soul threads. Qin Sang felt a sense of dread upon seeing them, leaving him deeply shocked.

He didn't know what kind of flames these black flames were, but their power was certainly terrifying.

The next scene confirmed Qin Sang's conjecture. Yu Hua extended a hand, sending a stream of black flame downwards. Like an arrow, it easily scorched through the lightning plasma, rushing towards the flying horn fish-dragons.

The power of the black flame barely diminished.

The group of flying horn fish-dragons, sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the black flame, immediately fell into disarray, emitting panicked screeches. They ultimately abandoned their attack on the intruders who had entered their nest, diving into the dark pool one after another and fleeing for their lives.

For a moment, the scene was exceptionally chaotic.

These ancient beasts possessed acute spiritual senses; their reaction indirectly demonstrated the black flame's terror.

Yu Hua had great confidence in the magic treasure. He didn't even look at the scene below, seemingly certain that the black flame would force the flying horn fish-dragons to retreat. His gaze remained fixed on Qin Sang.

Without giving Qin Sang a moment to catch his breath, Yu Hua immediately sent out all the remaining black flames.

Whoosh...

The magic treasure's banner surface vibrated violently. The eerie black flames, seemingly slow but actually swift, swept towards him with a chilling aura—a coldness capable of freezing one's primordial spirit, like demonic flames from the Nine Nether Purgatory!

Qin Sang couldn't help but shiver.

Hiss...

When the black flames collided with Qin Sang's ghost-soul threads, a shocking scene unfolded.

The powerful ghost-soul threads, as if cotton threads meeting an intense fire, were utterly defenceless, immediately ignited and dissolved by the black flames.

The black flames advanced relentlessly, destroying the ghost-soul threads.

Qin Sang hastily gathered the ghost-soul threads into a mass, fully urging the black fire to block in front, resisting the black flame's impact.

The black fire conjured by the Ten Directions Yama Formation was somewhat similar to the black flames released by the magic treasure, likely originating from the black flames and sharing the same source, but the gap between them was like heaven and earth.

Despite Qin Sang's utmost effort, he still found it hard to resist, retreating step by step.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the Ten Directions Yama Formation beside him buzzing. He glanced sideways and found that the ghostly aura on the ghost banners was vibrating incessantly, showing signs of collapsing.

If the black flames impacted it, the grand formation would likely be directly destroyed!

Qin Sang's face changed drastically, his heart filled with extreme dread. There was no time to think further; he hastily launched his Talisman Treasure.

The silver blade shone dazzlingly. Qin Sang activated all the remaining power of the Talisman Treasure.

Whoosh!

The silver blade flashed and vanished, appearing before the black flames. Its light immediately dimmed drastically. Under Qin Sang's reckless urging, it unleashed an unparalleled blade aura, fearlessly charging towards the black flames, burning away its last vestiges of power.

The Talisman Treasure bore the pressure of the black flames.

For a moment, the pressure on the Ten Directions Yama Formation plummeted, but only for a very short time, as the silver blade Talisman Treasure had little power left and was visibly consumed by the black flames.

Qin Sang seized this opportunity, unhesitatingly retracting the Ten Directions Yama Formation and the living corpse.

Simultaneously, a flood dragon appeared in his Dantian. Exhausting his remaining spiritual power, he activated the Nine Dragon Heavenly Chariot Talisman, turned, and fled.

“A Talisman Treasure?”

Yu Hua frowned deeply, somewhat surprised that Qin Sang still possessed a Talisman Treasure and could escape the magic treasure's suppression.

He couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that he had reacted quickly, unhesitatingly activating the magic treasure, preventing Qin Sang from gaining the upper hand.

Otherwise, although he could always activate the Heart-Devouring Gu to kill Qin Sang, the lead on the Nine Illusory Heavenly Orchid might have been lost again.

“Oh? Is this a secret talisman from the Shangyuan Purity Palace?”

Then, seeing the flood dragon essence spirit light up on Qin Sang, Yu Hua actually recognized the Nine Dragon Heavenly Chariot Talisman's origins at a glance. He muttered, “To escape the demonic lair and still be able to join the Shangyuan Purity Palace, with so many treasures... it seems his status in the Shangyuan Purity Palace is not low. He truly is a talent...”

Yu Hua let out a cold snort.

The black flames flared, engulfing the silver blade Talisman Treasure.

Then, Yu Hua did not put away the magic treasure. He rolled up the Ten Directions Yama Formation and eagerly pursued Qin Sang.
