Chapter 14529 Fusion Treasure

Chapter 14529 Fusion Treasure
The Banner of Annihilation was created when Kang Kingdom was driven to the brink of despair and faced the darkest moment of the Holy Temple's purge. It was born from the burning flames of civilization, a final miracle born for the purpose of "slaying gods."

However, this thing had a terrible flaw from the very beginning: a horrific backlash. The person who uses the Annihilation Emperor Banner will eventually be devoured by it.

The Annihilation Emperor Banner clashed with the Holy Throne, a supreme treasure of the Holy Temple. Unfortunately, Emperor Kangguo was ultimately too weak to contend with a true Holy Temple powerhouse, causing the Annihilation Emperor Banner to be unable to unleash its full power. In the end, it broke away from Emperor Kangguo and disappeared into the long river of history.

At this moment, the Annihilation Emperor Banner in Ling Xiao's hand was trembling with a low, mournful sound.

He clearly felt that emotion that had transcended countless years—humiliation and overwhelming resentment!
That battle, a clash between top-tier divine weapons, directly determined the course of the war.

Unfortunately, it was defeated by the Holy Throne, which was inferior to it, because its master was not powerful enough to unleash its full power. It was unwilling to accept this and felt humiliated.

With the defeat of Emperor Kangguo, no one in Kangguo could withstand the Holy Temple. The defenses collapsed instantly, leaving behind mountains of corpses and seas of blood; civilization was almost severed at its very roots.

That was the most tragic and dark chapter in the history of Kangguo.

Since then, Kangguo has actually disappeared into the long river of history. The original Silent Realm was originally Kangguo, but few people know this.

If Emperor Kangguo hadn't mentioned it himself, even Lingxiao would never have heard of it.

After a moment, Ling Xiao withdrew his thoughts from the past and his gaze fell upon the still faintly humming Imperial Banner of Annihilation. He ran his fingertips across the black banner and said softly, "The defeat of the past was not your fault. One day, I will take you with me to fight again for that 'Holy Throne' and avenge our shame. What do you say?"

Om-!
Suddenly, the Imperial Banner erupted with a surge of black mist, as if a slumbering demon was awakening, and an ancient and intense battle intent soared into the sky! It transformed into a black energy that had been condensed to the extreme, and with a "whoosh," it went straight into Ling Xiao's body.

Ling Xiao felt a jolt in his body, a slight burning sensation coming from within. A delicate and mysterious black banner-shaped mark flashed by and disappeared beneath his skin.

Merge! Acknowledge the Lord!
The whole process was so swift and decisive that even Ling Xiao himself was somewhat stunned. This was a supreme artifact ranked among the ancient divine weapons of the Silent Realm, yet it chose him so "easily"? There were no trials, no twists and turns, only an almost "eager" fit.

"That saves trouble." Ling Xiao was surprised, but also felt a surge of pride. In any case, this was an incredible opportunity!
With a thought, he waved his hand, and the Annihilation Emperor Banner appeared behind him.

In an instant, an indescribable, terrifying evil erupted from within the black banner. Instead of spreading outwards, it formed a terrifying force field that compressed the entire interior space of the hall, causing it to creak under the strain.

The next moment, Dao Sha suddenly appeared, and with all his might, he barely managed to suppress the terrifying pressure.

Ling Xiao's pupils constricted sharply, and the hairs on his body stood on end. The instant he summoned the Annihilation Emperor Banner, he sensed a deadly threat that made his very soul tremble! This threat did not come from an enemy, but rather from the Annihilation Emperor Banner itself, which had just recognized him as its master!
The Annihilation Emperor Banner is the most powerful weapon in Kang Kingdom, capable of killing gods. The backlash from this thing is terrifying.

In that instant, Ling Xiao even saw a huge black shadow about to devour him. If it weren't for Dao Sha's timely appearance and the assistance of the pressure released by the Overlord Martial Soul, he probably wouldn't have been able to control it.

Dao Sha stood there staring at the Annihilation Emperor Banner, his tone unusually solemn: "In this state... you might be able to face that golden-armored woman head-on."

Ling Xiao's heart trembled: "Is this true?" The strength of that mysterious woman in golden armor was unfathomable.

Dao Sha poured cold water on him, saying, "You can fight, but the outcome will most likely be your death."

"Why?" Ling Xiao asked, puzzled.

Dao Sha's voice was calm and even, yet every word was like a hammer blow: "Because with your current cultivation level, you simply cannot withstand the true power unleashed by this Annihilation Emperor Banner!"

"Could this thing be even stronger than the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword?" Ling Xiao was somewhat skeptical.

Dao Sha shook his head: "In terms of potential, it is naturally inferior to the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword and the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword, but the problem is that it is something that was created in the Silent Extinction Realm. Here, it can unleash its full power and drain you dry. Your physical body cannot withstand it."

Ling Xiao frowned slightly and said unconvinced, "My physical body has reached the peak of the Star River Realm, which can be called the top in this world."

Dao Sha glanced at him, his expression unwavering: "Even if you reach the so-called 'pinnacle' of this world, it's far from enough. Leaving aside the Annihilation Black Banner, have you even unleashed one or two tenths of the true power of your Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword?"

Ling Xiao remained silent. In his hands, the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword was indeed like a child wielding a divine weapon; its power was vast, yet he could not fully control it.

Dao Sha continued, "Imagine what this sword would be like if it were in its original owner's hands? Its power... would probably exceed your imagination. Not to mention this black banner, its power is unparalleled in this realm!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao chuckled, a sly glint in his eyes: "It's alright! In any case, it's another trump card to save our lives. In critical moments, it can always provide a glimmer of hope."

Dao Sha timely reminded you: "External forces will eventually run out and are subject to your own control. The most urgent task is to improve your own cultivation level as soon as possible. Only with a solid foundation and a strong foundation can you better control these external forces, minimize the backlash, and truly unleash their power."

Ling Xiao wholeheartedly agreed. He was currently at the Great Sun Realm, and only by stepping into the Star River Realm would he truly possess the ability to contend with the powerhouses of this realm, rather than relying on external aids.

Compared to the strongest individuals in this world, the gap in his cultivation level is narrowing, but every step is crucial.

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Senior Dao Sha, are you alright after your forceful intervention?" He was still somewhat worried about Dao Sha's swift and decisive action in fighting the golden-armored woman to extricate him from a predicament.

Dao Sha shook his head slightly: "Hmph, what is that woman? If I didn't want to expend too much energy, I would have slapped her to death. You don't need to worry about me, just take care of yourself."

Ling Xiao was relieved and stopped talking. He took out a large number of spirit crystals, closed his eyes to absorb them, and guided the vast energy to impact his meridians and acupoints, officially launching his sprint towards a higher realm.

Seeing that Ling Xiao had entered a meditative state, Dao Sha's figure faded away and returned to the Demon Needle Space.

The air here is chilling; this is the territory of the Twin Fiends Sect.

The little fox was cultivating nearby.

Jian Sha sat there watching, a hint of worry between his brows.

"What are you worried about?" Dao Sha walked to her side.

Sword Demon didn't turn around, his voice extremely low: "Earlier, I caught a very subtle yet chilling fluctuation. He has appeared."
