Chapter 14528 The Banner of Annihilation
"A terrifying existence?"
Ling Xiao's heart suddenly trembled violently!
Dao Sha's strength is unfathomable.
That made him show such fear was something.
That terror exists.
It's unimaginable.
He looked up at the starry sky.
A long sigh, carried by the starlight, scatters in all directions: "My fate is truly full of twists and turns!"
From the day I embarked on the path of martial arts.
Warfare became the norm.
It never ends.
He even forgot what peace should look like.
Dao Sha saw this.
A wildly arrogant smile curled at the corner of his lips.
The sword intent around him re-condensed.
His sharp wit was evident: "There's no need to worry too much."
"Within this realm of annihilation, there is no one who can rival me."
"If it weren't for the unwillingness to needlessly expend her source energy, that golden-armored woman would have already become a dead soul under the sword!"
However, the words were not spoken yet.
Dao Sha's smile suddenly froze.
His face instantly darkened to the extreme.
A low, grave shout rang out: "Damn it!"
Ling Xiao had no time to react.
Then he felt the star power above his head suddenly become violent.
A strong, nauseating smell of blood wafted over.
He raised his head subconsciously.
His pupils suddenly contracted—a huge blood-red cross was rapidly condensing in the void, its blood-red light intense and dazzling, illuminating his entire body in a crimson glow. From a distance, it looked like a live target, strikingly conspicuous and chilling.
Ling Xiao stared blankly at the blood-red cross overhead that blotted out the sky.
His eyes were filled with confusion and solemnity.
The unease in my heart grew stronger.
"What kind of evil magic is this?"
He suddenly turned his head to look at Dao Sha.
But then I saw this usually composed senior.
He frowned, a rare occurrence for him.
His eyes held a hint of inquiry and solemnity: "This is a mark at the level of laws, containing extremely strong locking power... I have never seen anything like it before."
Just then, a slender figure quietly appeared in the void.
It was the Lord of the Realm of Nirvana.
She gently lifted her jade-like fingers.
I carefully touched the blood-red cross.
However, the moment the fingertips touched it...
He was violently shaken back three steps by a burst of force.
A trace of blood even seeped from the corner of his lips.
"This is the Holy See's Blood Cross Kill Order!"
Her voice trembled with disbelief.
His eyes were filled with horror: "Only a being of the Saint Lord level can issue this decree. Ling Xiao, you have been marked by that Saint Lord of Annihilation!"
"The Lord of Annihilation?"
Ling Xiao heard this.
His palms clenched tightly.
The Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword instantly hummed.
A chilling demonic aura emanated from her: "That golden-armored woman isn't actually the Holy Lord of Annihilation?"
"Of course not."
The Lord of the Silent Realm wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.
His gaze was solemn: "The strength of the Holy Lord of Annihilation far surpasses that of the golden-armored woman."
"However... this Blood Cross kill order may not have been issued by the Temple of Annihilation. Perhaps it came from a temple outside the realm!"
Her gaze pierced through layers of nebulae.
Looking towards the end of the starry sea.
His tone held a hint of probing: "The Moon Maiden behind you, is she...?"
"There's no need to trouble her."
Before the Lord of the Realm of Annihilation could finish speaking...
Ling Xiao then interrupted her decisively.
A resolute light shone in his eyes: "Since we are destined to fight, why should we rely on others all the time?"
"I, Ling Xiao, will walk my own path!"
The Lord of the Silent Realm gazed at his resolute profile.
The eyes are complicated.
He slowly began to speak: "Back then, my father glimpsed part of the truth beyond the Realm of Annihilation, and then disappeared without a trace."
"An existence that even someone like him couldn't contend with..."
Why think so far ahead?
Dao Sha interrupted her.
His tone carried a hint of nonchalance and decisiveness: "Whether we can get past the Temple of Annihilation is still unknown."
"Moreover, it's not so easy for those from outside the realm to step into this Realm of Annihilation!"
……
The battle at Lin Yuan City has finally come to an end, and the turbulent waves in the Silent Realm have temporarily subsided.
On this vast land, two powerful forces are clearly divided: the Overlord Empire stands like a cold blade, while the Holy Temple forces are like a blazing sun hanging in the sky. They are locked in a deadly struggle with each other, a fateful deadlock.
Ling Xiao's name was prominently displayed at the top of the Holy Temple's kill order. This was no ordinary challenge, but rather the chilling killing intent of a powerful being from outside the Holy Temple realm.
……
Lin Yuan City, a place of seclusion.
Lingxiao's five hearts faced the sky, and the majestic Spirit Crystal Mountain Range beneath him was turning into dust at a visible speed, while vast spiritual power surged into his limbs and bones like a raging torrent.
He was racing against time.
The previous battle with that powerful figure from the Holy Temple did not injure him; on the contrary, it was the golden-armored woman's sneak attack that caused him internal injuries, which he must recover from as soon as possible.
As time passed, the terrible cracks on its skin gradually faded, restoring its jade-like luster.
Such an astonishing recovery speed was not only due to the support of a massive amount of spirit crystals, but also to the large number of precious pills he personally refined.
With his injuries fully healed, Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he made a gesture with his fingers.
"Buzz!"
A long, narrow black box flew out of his storage ring, exuding an intense sense of mystery.
He obtained this item after killing the powerful Annihilation Emperor who wielded two hammers.
He hadn't expected that this thing would actually be in that guy's hands, which saved him a lot of trouble.
The black box eventually ended up in his hands after many twists and turns.
This was told to him by the Kang Kingdom Emperor, who had transcended the Emperor Realm, before he disappeared. He said that as long as one possessed such a treasure, one could contend with an Emperor Realm expert.
Previously, surrounded by powerful enemies, there was no time to examine it closely. Emperor Kangguo once said that this item might have a special use for him; could it be that it contains a divine weapon?
His consciousness sank into the black box. The vast space was empty except for one thing: a black banner the size of a palm, its entire body seemingly forged from countless souls. Obscure Dao patterns were naturally engraved on the banner, as if it were slowly breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"A black banner? This thing doesn't seem very auspicious!"
Ling Xiao was slightly surprised and took it out. It felt heavy in his hand, and the profound sounds of the Great Dao echoed within. He immersed his divine sense into it and saw that it was a chaotic mess inside, with countless wronged souls rushing towards it. He was so frightened that he abruptly withdrew his divine sense.
Just as he was about to investigate, the illusory image of the blade reappeared. He stared at the black banner, a rare look of solemnity on his face: "This thing... I can't even see through its origins. But what it exhales is the most terrifying and evil demonic aura."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao focused his divine sense even more intently on probing the interior of the black banner.
Sudden--
"Buzz!"
The black banner trembled violently, and the black mist intensified. A vast will, seemingly originating from the primordial era, carrying a magnificent message that could suppress all heavens, directly penetrated the depths of Lingxiao's divine soul!
Four ancient characters, seemingly formed from endless malice, were imprinted on his soul:
Silence! Annihilation! Emperor! Banner!
The Banner of Annihilation!
A series of fragmented and ancient images, carrying a vast torrent of will, crashed into Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness.
In those untraceable ages, there once existed a "Kang Kingdom Divine Weapon Compendium," automatically written by the laws of heaven and earth. The compendium contained nine divine weapons, each possessing the supreme power to reconstruct the universe and end an era.
The banner of annihilation, forged by the collective fortune and wisdom of the Kang Kingdom, was prominently displayed among them.
That was an era in which the name "divine artifact" truly deserved the title of "divine." Each artifact was a manifestation of the laws of the world and a symbol of power that could stand on equal footing with immortal beings.
