Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

1、2、3.....87、88；

1-2、1-3、1-4.....1-87、1-88；

1-2-3、1-2-4、1-2-5........1-2-87、1-2-88；

.......

Jiang Mo continued to deduce, matching each array flag with the other numbered array flags without missing a single one. Dense strange flames emanated from his body, enveloping him. The rolling heat waves formed a forbidden zone, causing even the Root Plague and the Crimson Lotus Mountain Lord to change their expressions slightly, as they could not get close.

"This... won't I go berserk?"

The Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain asked with some concern, after all, Jiang Mo had never been in contact with the Eighty-Eight Trigrams True Flame Banner, and he himself had no experience either. If something really happened, there would be no way to save him.

"fine...."

"This kid is the strongest Dao Lord I've ever seen... Believe in him, there are many miracles he's capable of."

The source of the epidemic, a seemingly calm and collected statement, was revealed through its subsequent actions, which, in reality, also revealed its uncertainties...

"Buzz!"

The root of the plague summoned the Eye of the Emperor of Illusion, which hung above his head, illuminating all directions and protecting himself and the Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain. Even if Jiang Mo's cultivation was interrupted, the splashing strange fire and the power of the magic array could not harm it.

Time passed unnoticed, and Jiang Mo's face was covered in more and more cold sweat. The mental energy consumed in refining the eighty-eight-cornered True Flame Banner exceeded his expectations.

However, the refining process is nearing its end!

There are also more than 600 possible combinations!

"call......."

Jiang Mo's left hand began to tremble uncontrollably. He exhaled deeply, releasing the pressure within his body, and focused his mind even more, almost perfectly controlling the changes of the various formations in his palm.

If you don't train, you don't train at all; but if you do train, you demand the ultimate!

With his powerful soul force, Jiang Mo forcibly refined four hundred combinations. His face began to turn a chilling pale color, and then the entire cave was filled with terrifying flames, on the verge of exploding, showing signs of becoming uncontrollable.

The Crimson Lotus Mountain Lord, who was closest to the source of the plague, was terrified. Was it really going to explode?

An overwhelming premonition told them that if the refining failed, the aftershocks would be enough to turn the surrounding area of ​​tens of thousands of miles into desolate ruins where all life would perish.

"Brother Ancient Emperor, is there any way to stop this?!" Chi Lian asked anxiously.

"Don't panic, I'll cover for that kid, he won't fail!"

The Root Plague roared, unaware that its voice was already trembling. It then activated the Eye of Delusion, unleashing even more terrifying power. In an instant, the domain that obliterated all laws and resisted all attacks enveloped every corner of Li Yan Mountain.

Those Flame Clan members who were still practicing their daily routines were shocked to find that their supernatural powers and spells lost their effect in an instant under the cover of the sky, dissipating as soon as they were formed!

At the same moment, Jiang Mo's body began to tremble. There were less than a hundred possible combinations left, which were the most complex and had conflicting attributes. His mental strength was approaching its limit.

"Buzz!"

Jiang Mo's brow twitched. The Spirit-Breaking Curse, which he had maintained for many years, was instantly abandoned. The Heavenly Kingdom within his body was also collapsing. He gave up the continuous operation of these two techniques in order to gain more spiritual support.

A quarter of an hour.

Half an hour.

Two hours.

After a day and a night had passed, Jiang Mo's figure remained frozen on the ground like a sculpture, without any trembling, his lower body incredibly stable.

当1-2-3-4-5-6....-87-88的终极组合，即‘神焰诛魔阵’彻底在姜漠的手心之中，浮现出完整的模型。

A slight upward curve appeared at the corner of Jiang Mo's lips.

Become!

The Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner, which he was familiar with and controlled, became another of his natal magic weapons. It was imprinted with his many magic seals from the inside out, representing his supreme will. It was a power that no Dao Lord, Dominator, or Forbidden Zone Lord could erase in a short time.

Jiang Mo, who had caught a glimpse of the entire artifact, couldn't help but feel a mix of fear and relief.

Although the destructive power of the Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner is currently far inferior to that of the Immortal-Breaking Sword, its potential is frighteningly high if it continues to advance. It is no exaggeration to say that it is unique in all of eternity.

Before obtaining it, Jiang Mo was not absolutely certain that he could kill the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

After obtaining it, the so-called forbidden zone of life, the ruler of the mythical land, was nothing more than the corpses under his feet, and the best nourishment to nourish the Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner.

That's the difference!

Chapter 656 Relics of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation

The fully refined Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner has three thousand nine hundred and sixteen different formations, and each formation corresponds to a specific supernatural power, making it virtually limitless in its potential.

"Boom!"

The 'Divine Flame Demon-Slaying Array' in Jiang Mo's palm gradually stabilized, and then, with a gentle clench of his five fingers, it quietly dissipated without leaving any aftershocks.

"Wow!"

At the same moment, the strange flames swirling around Jiang Mo's body also receded like a tide. The dangerous aura that had threatened to destroy the entire cave and even Li Yan Mountain vanished without a trace in an instant.

"Done?"

The source of the disease was very curious and asked, staring at Jiang Mo's profile with great puzzlement.

"Ah."

"It is an extremely good innate magic artifact, a treasure made by the immortals. It is indeed extraordinary."

Jiang Mo smiled calmly, raised his left hand, and the Eighty-Eight True Flame Banners fluttered and scattered in the air, instantly forming a formation, surging with the power of the ultimate path.

"As expected of the Lord of Tianyuan, congratulations, Mystic Venerable."

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Red Lotus Mountain immediately offered his congratulations.

"......"

Jiang Mo remained silent, secretly pondering where the three giants of the Azure Tree who had escaped back then might be hiding. If he found them and refined them, he would truly make a fortune.

"Heh, I knew you were something else, making such a commotion, you almost scared me to death..."

The source of the plague breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, it had activated the Eye of the Emperor of Illusion, covering the entire Li Yan Mountain. It had consumed a great deal of mental energy. If it had relaxed even slightly, this holy land might have been reduced to ashes.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened; otherwise, let alone uniting against a common enemy, their own alliance might have started fighting amongst themselves.

"I apologize for causing you both worry. My actions were ill-considered, and I hope you will forgive me."

As Jiang Mo chatted and laughed, he put away the Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner. He was in a good mood, as obtaining such a high-level magic weapon by chance would greatly help his combat power.

Now, he has even more confidence in his ability to gain a foothold in the Immortal Realm.

If any reckless forces or sects dare to set their sights on him, then he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

Moreover, with the fattest prey right in front of him, Jiang Mo had the idea of ​​hunting down the Sunset Demon Emperor who occupied the capital of the Imperial Dynasty. He thought that its flesh and blood could become nourishment for the Eighty-Eight-Cornered True Flame Banner, which would provide a terrifying boost.

Seeing the hint of joy in Jiang Mo's brows, and sensing the origin of the plague, roughly guessed his plan, and said quietly:

"You're planning to make a move? Against that beast from the Imperial Dynasty?"

"Hmm, but I'm worried it might run away. This Nine Palaces Ruler, which stands at the forefront of evolution, is the Demon Emperor of the present world. Unlike those rulers in the forbidden zones who are sleeping soundly, they have dulled senses and hide in places that are hated by gods and ghosts. Even if I come to hunt them down, they won't be able to react."

"As for the Sunset Demon King, with my current power, killing it wouldn't be difficult. The difficulty lies in this demon's suspicious nature and cunning. Furthermore, given its keen senses, no matter how well I conceal my killing intent, it will most likely sense my presence as soon as I lock onto it, and it might even escape beforehand. It's quite a pity..."

Upon hearing this, the source of the disease nodded in understanding and added:

"If we can't kill it, let's take back all the prefectures and sword prefectures it controls."

"..."

Jiang Mo continued to shake his head, indicating that it was unnecessary:

"My manpower is insufficient to manage such a vast territory, so it would be a waste to take it. Moreover, if I were to unify the Eastern Wilderness and occupy the largest territory, it would arouse the suspicion of other major domains and sects, as well as the Immortal Clan and the Quasi-Immortal Clan, and they would secretly join forces to target me."

"A good Eastern Wilderness is not necessarily a good Eastern Wilderness. A half-dead Eastern Wilderness with scattered forces is the scene that the other Supreme Dao Lords would like to see..."

"So you mean I shouldn't do anything either?"

The source of the plague frowned. It had long wanted to hunt down the Demon Emperor, but had never had the opportunity. Now that it had the chance, it was certain that such a powerful figure, if infected by it, would become its strongest fighting force.

"If you want to take action, then take action. I won't try to persuade you further. Just do what you think is right."

"Alright, I know what I'm doing."

The source of the plague grinned, a sinister and cruel laugh, as it began to plot a new scheme.

"Let's make this clear first: if you kill it or drive it away, those territories will belong to me."

"Otherwise what? I wouldn't be fighting you for it."

While chatting and laughing, Jiang Mo looked at the Lord of Crimson Flame Mountain and asked, getting back to the main topic:

"I have already obtained the first innate magic artifact. I wonder where the second one, which the mountain lord promised, is now?"

"The second item is also in this cave. However, it is an ancient coffin. It does not possess the power to reach the heavens and the earth, but its abilities in certain areas are more useful than those of innate magical artifacts. I believe Your Excellency Xuanzun will be interested in it."

The Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain said with great confidence. Then, it took out a token, placed it in the void, and resonated with the many faint array patterns, opening a special hidden space.

"Boom!!!"

A dark, secret chamber appeared in mid-air. The door opened, and all that could be heard was the rattling of chains dragging on the ground and the sound of a colossal object moving.

"Ok?"

Soon, Jiang Mo saw a broken stone coffin slowly being moved out of the secret chamber. It was covered with a strong ominous aura, and the coffin was engraved with various ancient gods and demons, all of which had indescribable appearances and were extremely ferocious and ugly.

A foul, rotten, and bloody smell emanated from the coffin, and even after the passage of time, the odor remained.

"What is this...?" Jiang Mo asked.

"The Mysterious Coffin".

"A sacred relic from the forbidden zone of life—the Sea of ​​Reincarnation," the Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain revealed the name of the stone coffin.

"The Sea of ​​Reincarnation?!"

"Wasn't it wiped out 90,000 years ago?"

The source of the disease was startled and immediately guessed, "Could it be that you were the ones who did it back then?"

"The Sea of ​​Reincarnation is in its final stage and is very weak. It only has an old ruler, and all its relatives of the same origin have died. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't dare to take action."

"Back then, there were about four or five sects that took action. They all besieged the Sea of ​​Reincarnation overnight, stormed in, and plundered the treasures."

"Our mountain lord from the era of Flame Mountain was lucky and powerful enough to enter at the best time. At that time, several supreme Dao Lords from two Dao lineages were fighting the giants there to the death, and they were all on the verge of exhaustion. That ancestor decisively attacked them and killed them all. In the end, he took away the sacred object in the forbidden area, which is the Xuan Tian Coffin that you two see now, the ultimate artifact for prolonging life."

"?"

"?"

Upon hearing about the root cause of the epidemic, Jiang Mo was astonished. He never expected that Li Yanshan's luck could be so extraordinary. They managed to steal the treasure right under the noses of four or five different sects, and even killed them to cover it up, leaving no trace.

"If it can prolong life, why have all the giants of the Reincarnation Sea died one after another?"

The root cause of the epidemic is still not believed. The so-called life extension can continue indefinitely. This Xuan Tian Coffin must have some unknown drawbacks.

"That's because they angered the heavens, prolonging their lives for too long, to the point of defying the will of this world."

The Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain sighed softly, speaking in a tone that suggested it was a matter of "believe it or not":

"According to our ancestors, the old creatures in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation have been clinging to life for hundreds of thousands of years, relying on the Xuan Tian Coffin to live an immortal existence. Outsiders believe they are long dead, succeeded by the ultimate beings within the forbidden zone, but that's not the case..."

"Speaking of which, you should all know about the existence of divine punishment, right?"

Jiang Mo nodded slightly at the source of the plague. According to the ancient records of the Immortal Realm, the so-called divine punishment was caused by some ancient species invading the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Clan and the Sub-Immortal Clan experienced inexplicable changes. As a result, all living beings in the Immortal Realm were judged by the heavens. Although they could still cultivate normally, their lifespan was greatly shortened. Their lifespan, which used to be millions of years, became only a few thousand to ten thousand years.

This is a forbidden zone that Heaven does not allow to be crossed. Any living being, upon reaching the end of its life, must die and decay.

During this period, the so-called Forbidden Zone Rulers were formed. In order to prolong their lives, they hid in special terrains and slept, waiting for the right time to emerge and harvest the lives of the Immortal Realm in order to prolong their own lives.

Of course, some species choose to research new cultivation systems and modify cultivation methods in order to extend their lifespan, but the effect is not obvious, only two or three times longer, which is incomparable to their previous long lifespan.

The Lord of Crimson Lotus Mountain continued:

"The internal structure of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation is very simple, divided into three categories: 'Mortal Beings,' 'End Beings,' and 'Giants.' Among them, the Mortal Beings are dark creatures that have been transformed by the Giants. They roam the Immortal Realm, hunting Dao Lords with abundant vitality, draining their blood and souls to achieve their own evolution."

"And the end is the endpoint of the evolution of those in the mortal world. You can think of it as the most abundant and plentiful fruit. They will all be devoured by the giants in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, or filled into the Xuan Tian Coffin."

"However, times change. As the number of powerful beings in the Immortal Realm increases, those in the mortal world can no longer easily harvest powerful beings. One after another, they fall, resulting in the End Beings becoming less valuable and unable to prolong the lives of giants. As a result, their strength will become weaker and weaker."

"This is a bottomless pit. The longer the years go by, the greater the price those ancient giants have to pay to survive, to the point that they themselves are powerless to do anything about it. After all, the supreme Dao Lords of this era are not puppets that they can control completely. Once a great war breaks out between the two sides, the outcome is unpredictable."

"Starting 130,000 years ago, the Reincarnation Sea suffered several attacks from supreme Dao Lords of various Daoist alliances, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. It was during this period that the Reincarnation Sea began its unstoppable decline."

"110,000 years ago, a giant from a forbidden zone found enough materials to inject into the Xuan Tian Coffin in an attempt to prolong his life. This drew the judgment of the Immortal Realm's will, and howling lightning pierced through the forbidden area, severely injuring several giants."
