Chapter 781 Flag Sacrifice
After hearing these words, Yue Hanzhang even felt somewhat flattered.

What a pity.

The infighting and bloodshed within the die-hard family was so fierce that even dogs' brains were spilled.

Wang Xiaoyu even brought out the Blood-Red Glow Secret Technique, which was terrifying in any era, and relied on the blood and bones of his clan to reach the Ninth Heaven of the Outer Realm Venerable King!

And then, at this critical juncture...

The world has the greatest "confidence" in Yue Hanzhang, believing that he is the strongest fighter in the Dao Alliance.

The ones who went all out and used every means possible were actually the ancestral holy kings of the demon race, who were Yue Hanzhang's opponents from beginning to end.

This moment.

Yue Hanzhang's emotions were even somewhat indescribably complex.

But amidst the感慨 (feelings of deep emotion/reflection)...

Yue Hanzhang was now certain of what the price was that the Ape King found irresistible.

Crimson Glow Secret Technique!
In that instant, Yue Hanzhang suddenly realized a "blind spot" in his thinking that he had never considered before!
When Wang Xiaoyu used the Crimson Glow Secret Technique, one obvious point was that those "uncles" wanted to walk the same path as him.

But this is only a unity at the level of Tao and Dharma.

To achieve the goal of using secret methods to seize that blood-red haze and completely fill one's body, spirit, and Daoist arts, one also needs to achieve unity at the level of body and spirit!

They must be members of the Wang family, descendants of the Wang family of Xiguan!
Even Yue Hanzhang had overlooked this point in the past.

At this moment, reminded indirectly by the Ape King, he immediately understood this point!
Then, Yue Hanzhang realized even more keenly that such a blood-red glowing secret technique was also more suitable for the demon race!
Even the increase in power for the demon race far surpasses that of any of the great families in the Dao Alliance!
Because the form, spirit, and Daoist methods have long been integrated into the demonic bloodline by the demon race!
The demon race's powerful reproductive capacity in the past led to an overabundance of offspring, forcing them to periodically wage blood wars against humans to reduce their numbers to a reasonable level.

After obtaining this secret method, they no longer need to "rely on external forces" and can take matters into their own hands, using the method of raising Gu to carry out the elimination of bloodline after the mass production of troops.

This will make every realm of the demon race instantly stronger than the current Dao Alliance human race!
same.

This line of reasoning leads back to the realm of all the ancestral kings.

With such a secret technique of crimson glow, those top predator tribes of appropriate size will all be able to produce at least one powerful being at the level of an ancestral saint king!
Large tribes and ancestral tribes of various races can maintain the existence of several, or even a dozen, ancestral holy kings within their clans for a long period of time!
This was a situation that even Yue Hanzhang found terrifying.

At that time, unlike before, and even today, it will be the demon race that will take the initiative to provoke and start a bloody war between the two races.

At that time, it was the human race that frantically demanded to start a bloody war!
Only through blood and fire, only through bloody battles, can the two races maintain a balance, and perhaps even give humanity a chance to catch its breath.

Once one is immersed in a long period of rest and recuperation.

The longer the period of peace lasts, the more the human race becomes unable to catch up with the scale of the demon race's top combat power as one ancestral holy king is born!
After this ebb and flow, the other gains and loses.

A hopeless prospect seems to be the inevitable result of taking all factors into account.

This was the bargaining chip that the Ape King couldn't refuse, even enough to make it swallow its pride and declare itself a "hyena"!
At that time, there was no longer a golden age for humans, only the reign of the demon race!

Did the Wang family of Xiguan know the dangers of this secret technique being leaked?

It's reasonable to assume that those who could foresee the need to stop Yue Hanzhang's actions still possessed the intelligence to know.

But they no longer care.

The last thread of their reason snapped in their madness!

Think about this.

Yue Hanzhang then spoke in a loud and clear voice, which was incredibly powerful. The vast amount of magical power that had also undergone nine refinements was concentrated in his throat, making Yue Hanzhang's voice sound peaceful and clear, but it instantly stretched to the far end of the starry sea.

At this moment, all cultivators in the world could hear what Yue Hanzhang was saying!
"A bargaining chip you can't refuse?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Wang family of Xiguan promised to pass on the Crimson Glow Secret Technique to your demon race?"

"How laughable! I haven't even seen the prosperous era of the Dao Alliance where everyone is like a dragon. But I have glimpsed some of the outlines of the era of the Monarch, where demons and monsters have become saints!"

"Very good—very good!"

"Yue now has another reason to kill Wang Xiaoyu and to wipe out the Wang family of Xiguan!"

Yue Hanzhang had to make sure that all the cultivators in the Dao Alliance heard these words clearly, so that they would know what kind of deal the Wang family of Xiguan had made with the demon race!
This is Yue Hanzhang's further "justified" action at this critical moment!
This does not stem from the various grudges and feuds among the Dao Alliance families, nor from the various plans for the great cause of reform.

It stemmed from the greater cause of the conflict between the two races!

This secret technique is a bargaining chip that the demon race cannot refuse. Similarly, it is also a "weight" for Yue Hanzhang to "turn the tide" at this moment, and to see how much favor he has done for the various families of the Dao Alliance!
Then, in the Ape King's "tacit" silence, Yue Hanzhang turned all his attention back to the Ape King.

"It's quite kind of you to think so highly of me."

"Everyone thinks I'm declining and about to become just another ordinary person, but your demon race's ancestral demon king still considers me to be your demon race's mortal enemy!"

"How ridiculous! Those who have confidence in me are not even one of our own!"

"You respect me, and I respect you too!"

"So I won't say anything more about that nonsense like 'quickly retreat'."

“In ancient times, when going out to fight an enemy, there had to be sacrificial animals to worship the flag. This was one of the most noble ways of dying in primitive times.”

"Today, I, Yue, intend to lead my troops to attack the enemy. Since you are blocking my way, I will use your life as a sacrifice for my flag!"

You can't win this round!

"Just because you accomplished this and reached an agreement with the Wang family of Xiguan."

You can't win this round!

As he finished speaking, Yue Hanzhang even turned to look in the direction of the Dao Alliance's border with a mocking smile on his face.

He understood that at this moment, all the cultivators were staring intently at his figure and his expression.

"Haven't you all been wanting to know whether Yue's career has really declined?"

"Haven't you all always wanted to know how far I've accumulated in terms of the fundamental essence of form, spirit, and Dao techniques?"

"There is an Ancestral Saint King here! Far away on the horizon, there is a blood-red True Yang Sun, and a madman from the Ninth Heaven of the Outer Realm!"

"I'll kill them one by one and show you!"

"Be good—"

"See it clearly!"

As he finished speaking, Yue Hanzhang's voice suddenly became high-pitched.

A vast amount of powerful magic filled the sound, instantly creating a sensation like thunderbolts tearing apart the starry sky.

And the next moment.

Amidst such thunderous and resounding sounds.

The true thunder erupted in an instant!
The lightning flashed by, and in an instant, as if in friction with the forces of heaven and earth, it suddenly burst forth with blazing flames.

In the instant thunder and fire intertwined, surging Daoist runes were interwoven within them.

A series of loops, emerging from different angles, surrounded Yue Hanzhang.

Ang—Ang—Ang—

It has the framework of thunder and lightning, and the flesh and blood of flames born from grinding.

Within each loop, the runes of the Dao Mother Talisman Array emerge from the bright light of thunder and fire.

However, each loop is different from the last.

The nine refinements of the seal script and talisman array have allowed the Dao Mother Talisman Array to perfectly integrate the supreme merit of nine bolts of lightning and flames.

now.

Following the pairing order of the Nine Refinement Secret Instruments from before.

Within each loop of thunder and fire, what is presented is a Dao Mother Talisman Array with the supreme merit of a certain thunder and fire as its main core.

Each of the nine formations is different!
And the next moment.

As the same harmonious and balanced aura permeated the looping thunder and fire, the fissures created by the power of Sumeru even extended to the far reaches of the vast star field.

The power of heaven and earth and nature surged forth wildly.

Beyond the skeleton of thunder and the flesh of flames, scales are woven from seal patterns, and claws are formed from the might of heaven.

Nine true dragons, each carrying its own unique supreme thunder and fire Daoist essence, circled around and protected Yue Hanzhang's figure.

His profound and supreme Daoist rhythms, at this moment, presented an unprecedentedly majestic scene between heaven and earth!
next moment.

The nine lifelike dragons of lightning and fire roared and converged on Yue Hanzhang's body.

In an instant, it coalesced into a nine-dragon gauze robe.

All the complex changes were completed in the blink of an eye.

Just as the Ape King was on high alert because of Yue Hanzhang's soaring aura, a flash of light appeared before its eyes, and it caught the series of changes in its vision.

When you react.

Yue Hanzhang was already draped in a nine-dragon gauze robe, and the natural forces of heaven and earth, guided by the thunder and fire yin and yang energies with nine different core rhythms, were all mixed together in his body at this moment.

then.

Yue Hanzhang took a step forward!
Click——click——click——

Standing on the Nine Palaces Heavenly Origin Land, in an instant, the eighty-one Sumeru entrances opened wide!

then.

A sudden gust of wind, as vast as Mount Sumeru, swept past.

When I looked again...

It was as if everything before was an illusion.

Above each entrance to the Sumeru Temple, there was a figure of Yue Hanzhang!
Or sink your waist and sit on your hips, and all the myriad forms of punches will eventually lead to the same goal: to deliver a punch that is both wondrous in form and spirit and a perfect unity of Daoist principles!
Or perhaps he would form hand seals, with the Sumeru Jade Box hanging beside him, intending to recreate the methods he used to forge the ancestral temple in the past!

Or with arms outstretched, five-colored lightning rotates behind them.

Or, with one hand raised, the sword guide gathers boundless Xuanhuang sword energy.

……

Every figure of Yue Hanzhang was so real and authentic!

The Taoist aura emanating from each person was so vivid and lifelike!
Whether it's the surging of qi and blood, the release of the Nine-Turn Precious Pill's abundant medicinal power, the lightning-fast movement, or the blazing flames...

this moment.

The ape king's eyes widened.

He felt that every figure could be real, and every killing move could land on him in the next instant.

Then in the next instant.

Swah——

When the sound of something cutting through the air truly rang out.

As the countless figures of "Zhu Yue Han Zhang" fell into the Sumeru Passage, they all moved at once.

The Ape King's tense mind also trembled suddenly.

But the next moment.

Even though the nine palaces have shifted, the eighty-one figures still exist, only their positions have changed.

This is terrible! How can anyone guard against it?

The thought just arose in the mind of the ape king in that instant.

It suddenly began to throb.

His primal, animalistic instincts were driving him wildly.

wrong!

at the same time.

Out of the corner of his eye, he finally caught sight of the ghostly figure draped in a nine-dragon gauze robe that had appeared nearby at some unknown time!
