As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 6 Immeasurable merit
"hiss--"

The black membrane ruptured, and red lightning struck the stomach and intestines, turning the internal organs into an erupting volcano.

The raging flames rushed madly along the spine into the brain, stirring up magma between the grooves of the brain, raging like a flood, destroying everything in its path.

Xu Yan felt that every brain cell in his body was emitting dazzling light like a crystal clear glass ball.

A series of blue prompt messages popped up in front of my eyes:

[Life Index +0.1]

[Life Index +0.1]

……

[Congratulations, your life index has exceeded 10, and you have awakened your spirituality]

【Current Life Index 10.4】

【Strength】: 10.5
[Agility]: 10.3
[Perception]: 10.4
[Physique]: 10.1
In just over ten seconds, Xu Yan's life index exceeded double digits.

All basic values ​​have also been greatly improved.

He felt a layer of frosted glass shatter between his eyebrows.

The world around you looks brand new.

He could see the dust swirling in the light.

The direction of each crack in the depression of the wall.

You can also hear the blood plasma surging in your veins like waves.

When he moved his fingers, his finger bones made a crackling sound, as if he could crush steel.

The most important thing was that he seemed to see sparkling spots of light emerging from the acupuncture points all over his body.

The light spots in the brain are the densest, like a brilliant sea of ​​stars.

Between the stars, there were sparkling threads extending out, crisscrossing each other and connecting together, as if to outline the entire brain.

“This familiar feeling…

"I've returned to the legendary Qi Refining Stage?

“Although the spiritual energy is depleted, many magic techniques and magical powers cannot be used.

"But no matter how things change, the essence remains the same. Compared to the spirit masters of this era, my trump cards are much richer!"

Xu Yan's eyes flickered.

Of course, there will be a price to pay for a forced breakthrough.

"Ok?"

He was already prepared to endure the pain of his soul burning and flesh being torn apart, but suddenly he noticed something strange.

The evil power contained in the "burning capsule" suddenly entered the deepest part of his brain at the moment of its outbreak.

The blue light curtain opens automatically.

The dim red dot symbolizing the Human Emperor Banner flickered for a moment and then became a little brighter than before.

Below Mars, a new series of information appeared:
[Congratulations on swallowing the ten thousand year old evil spirit ripple]

[Merit] +1
[Merit] +2
[Merit] +1
"This is?"

Xu Yan's mind raced, as if he had realized something.

The Human Emperor Banner can suppress all demons and evil spirits in the world.

The souls of demons and monsters and the resentment of evil spirits are transformed into the purest Hongmeng purple energy to nourish the righteous soul cultivators in the banner, and even gush out to turn into the righteous energy between heaven and earth.

And now...

"I am the Human Emperor Banner!"

Current Merit Value: 55
[Human Emperor Banner Status]: Resurgence (79%)

“New progress bar?

"Doesn't this mean that as long as we devour more evil souls and extract the Primordial Purple Qi, the Human Emperor Banner might be able to recover from its 'dead ashes' state and become 'perfect'? From a blood-stained banner shrouded in black smoke, it could return to its golden, radiant, and righteous form?"

Xu Yan's heart was pounding.

The Era of Heroes is so dangerous. As an immortal cultivator, he always feels uneasy without a few Human Emperor Banners.

"The name 'Merit Points' is quite appropriate.

"Our Wanhun Sect is originally a famous and upright sect with immeasurable merits and virtues. It is well-known throughout the entire cultivation world."

The laws of the world of cultivation are extremely cruel.

The high and mighty cultivators possess the power to move mountains and seas, and to penetrate the heavens and the earth.

In the struggle for the great way between each other, they used magical weapons with infinite power, which could easily destroy the entire town or even the entire dynasty.

Mortals were like ants, their life and death completely at their mercy. Corpses piled up like mountains, their blood thickened into rivers. Thousands of corpses exposed in the wilderness not only polluted the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but also hindered the purity of cultivators.

If the resentment accumulated in the body does not dissipate for a long time, it is more likely to turn into an evil spirit or ghost, causing harm to the world.

It was because of this that the founder of the Wanhun Sect ran around among the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, holding the most precious treasure of the ancient times, the Human Emperor Banner.

Collect corpses, purify the souls of the dead, let the souls of ants-like mortals return to their hometowns and rest in peace, and restore a bright sun and moon and a clear world between heaven and earth.

"Very good. Ordinary people have side effects from taking drugs, but for me, taking drugs not only improves my vitality, but also suppresses evil spirits, dissolves resentment, and accumulates immense merit!"

There is only one question left.

The evil energy in just one "burning capsule" is too thin.

It was instantly swallowed up by the Human Emperor Banner.

Xu Yan was so hungry that he couldn't wait to do more good deeds.

……

"What's going on? The gravedigger is very insensitive to the 'burning capsule'. It doesn't look like his life index has increased significantly."

Dr. Hyde seemed to be mumbling to himself.

There was a hint of doubt in his tone.

After ordinary recipients take 100 units of burning capsules, they often experience ruptured blood vessels, muscle distension, skin tearing, frenzy and even spontaneous brain combustion.

As the life index soars, the aggressiveness and combat effectiveness will also increase significantly.

The gravedigger behaved as if he was born with a dull mind.

Those poor souls who have difficulty establishing a spiritual connection with spirits due to genetic defects.

"What's wrong with Snake Princess's brain that she would use this kind of trash as a secret weapon?"

Dr. Hyde muttered to himself.

"Give him another 100, no, 300 units."

Behind him, Snake Queen was calm and composed.

……

A total of 400 units of burning capsules helped Xu Yan increase his merit value to 155.

Although I still don’t know how “merit” should be converted into combat power.

Just feeling the primordial purple energy lurking deep within his brain made him overjoyed.

In fact, he can still get a refill.

But it would be too abnormal to continue knocking.

There was something wrong with the way "Blood Thorn" Goli looked at him.

Recalling those evil demons in the world of cultivation who were possessed by evil spirits, Xu Yan pretended to have trembling muscles, bloodshot eyes, and rapid breathing.

Thick blue veins bulged out of his skin, writhing wildly like earthworms exposed to the scorching sun.

Goli breathed a sigh of relief.

He gestured to the hidden camera in the corner.

A low and hoarse female voice came from the corner of the ceiling.

"Gravedigger, do you feel that in your mind, the shining stars are connected into lines, as if they have life and are about to break out of their shells?"

"Yes."

Xu Yan gritted his teeth and pretended to be unable to control himself.

"Congratulations, you have awakened your spirituality. The 'spiritual particles' in your body have gathered into 'spiritual threads'.

"Next, you need to concentrate and control at least one strand of spiritual thread, extending it through your brows and outwards to establish a spiritual connection with the seal card."

Xu Yan, who has returned to the Qi Refining Stage, has a far greater understanding and control over his own spirituality than the apprentice spirit masters of this era.

With just a thought, he could easily control dozens of spiritual threads.

But at the moment, he pretended to grit his teeth, his veins exposed, and sweat all over his forehead, barely able to control a spiritual thread.

This look did not arouse any suspicion in Goli's eyes.

The bloodthirsty head nurse took out twelve bronze cards from a metal card box engraved with mysterious runes.

The entire training room was suddenly filled with a mysterious glow.

“Gravedigger, these twelve bronze cards contain twelve powerful fighting spirits from the past.

"They are mysterious wizards, warriors who can fly and dodge, ferocious beasts that roar across the heavens and earth, and killing machines with ferocious firepower... Any one of them can help you be reborn and possess extraordinary powers.

"Now, control the spiritual thread that just extended to the outside world, touch one of them, and choose your guardian spirit!"
