The moment the God-Sealing Cauldron shattered, it was as if heaven and earth had lost their color.
The thousand-zhang giant cauldron crumbled like a collapsing mountain, bronze fragments wrapped in monstrous demonic energy splashing in all directions. The spiritual energy within a hundred miles was instantly drained, forming a massive vacuum zone.
The barrier of Xuanjing City trembled violently, cracks spreading across it like a spiderweb. Cultivators within the city screamed and scurried like rats, and even the ten Mahayana Realm experts a hundred miles away were pushed back again and again by the shockwave, their faces filled with horror.
"Bastard, are you crazy?!" Ji Lingxuan's voice carried a fury and terror she had never felt before. She sped over, her moon-white brocade robes flapping loudly in the turbulent airwaves!
Her phoenix eyes stared dead at Ye Chuan, spiritual power surging crazily around her, causing her Dao rhythms and glowing aura to become chaotic.
"The God-Sealing Cauldron is the foundation of the Sacred Land! You actually broke it? A million demons will be released—do you know the consequences?!"
She was truly panicked now, a complete change from her previous calmness and composure. With the God-Sealing Cauldron shattered, the seal was completely invalid. Once a million demons scattered, let alone Xuanjing City, the entire Tianxuan Continent would fall into a catastrophe!
She could already imagine the scene of rivers flowing with blood. Her trust in Ye Chuan collapsed instantly, leaving only sky-high rage.
Ji Lingxuan never imagined that Ye Chuan would actively shatter the God-Sealing Cauldron!
However, Ye Chuan remained suspended in mid-air, looking composed and idle. Watching the scattering demonic energy and fragments, he remained calm and unruffled.
Those tide-like demons had long lost their physical bodies under the God-Sealing Cauldron's ten-thousand-year refinement, leaving only the power of their souls.
In other words—
Chaos Power and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner were the perfect tools for the job.
He flipped his hand, and a banner as black as ink appeared in his palm.
The banner was embroidered with countless twisted soul patterns, chains hung from its edges, and skulls upon it emitted a gloomy and eerie aura. It was none other than the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
"What's the panic?" Ye Chuan spoke faintly, injecting spiritual power into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner from his fingertips.
"I said, not a single demon will escape."
"Human Emperor Domain, open."
As his voice fell, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner surged violently to a size of a thousand zhang. The flag fluttered without wind, emitting shrieking wails—
A pitch-black domain spread out with the banner as its center. Within the domain, space twisted, and countless chains extended from the void, weaving into a giant black net.
The demons that had just broken free from the God-Sealing Cauldron and were about to flee in all directions hit the domain and were instantly imprisoned by an invisible force. No matter how they struggled, they could not escape, and could only let out shrill roars.
"This is... what kind of evil object?! A Ten Thousand Soul Banner?!" Ji Lingxuan's pupils constricted. Watching that pitch-black domain, the rage in her heart was instantly replaced by shock.
She could feel that this domain contained a powerful soul-imprisoning force. Even those ancient demons with profound cultivation bases couldn't break free.
But the problem was—
She had never seen such a powerful Ten Thousand Soul Banner. How many living beings had this thing refined?!
The ten Mahayana experts rushing back from afar also stared dumbfounded at this scene. Their original unwillingness and anger had long vanished, leaving only deep horror.
What level of magical treasure was this? To be able to imprison a million demons at once!
The demons inside the domain crashed around madly. Some transformed into giant demonic shadows, others spewed soul-corroding demonic flames, yet they couldn't shake the domain's walls in the slightest.
Ye Chuan's finger moved slightly. The chains on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner suddenly tightened and shot toward the demons!
"Puchi! Puchi!"
The sound of chains piercing demon bodies rose and fell. Every time a chain pierced a demon, a scream of a soul being torn apart followed.
Under the pull of the chains, the bodies of those demons gradually turned into pure soul power, which was continuously absorbed by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
The soul patterns on the banner became increasingly clear, and the aura it emitted grew more and more terrifying.
Countless dense messages popped up—
[Absorbed Demon Remnant Soul, Magical Treasure buffs Host Attributes +30%]
[Absorbed Demon Remnant Soul, Magical Treasure buffs Host Attributes +29%]
[Absorbed Demon Remnant Soul, Magical Treasure buffs Host Attributes +28%]
[Absorbed Demon Remnant Soul, Magical Treasure buffs Host Attributes +27%]
...
In just half an hour, the million roaring demons were reduced to just a few still struggling.
These were the demon leaders who had possessed the most tyrannical strength back then. Yet now, their faces were pale, and their eyes were filled with despair—they could feel their souls being drawn out bit by bit. They wouldn't even have a chance at reincarnation.
Ye Chuan looked at the last few demons, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "Hey pal, any last words?"
"You... who exactly are you?!" A demon leader burning with black fire roared, eyes full of unwillingness and fear.
"Such an evil artifact is definitely not something a Righteous Path cultivator would possess!"
"You've never even seen a Human Emperor Banner? You deserve to be destroyed."
Ye Chuan couldn't be bothered to answer. With a hook of his finger, several chains shot out simultaneously, instantly piercing the last few demons.
As the final scream faded, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner shrank back to the size of a palm and fell into Ye Chuan's hand.
Light flickered on the banner; its power had clearly skyrocketed!
[Magical Treasure has evolved]
[Ten Thousand Soul Banner → Human Emperor Flag]
Ye Chuan glanced at his Ten Thousand Soul Banner—
[+13 Human Emperor Flag * Dark Gold]
After refining a million demons, it had actually evolved from Gold quality to Dark Gold, reaching the same level as the Demon Sword Beiyana!
Sure enough, a Human Emperor Flag is a Human Emperor Flag.
And because of the stacked soul buffs, Ye Chuan's strength had reached an unprecedented height at this moment!
Add points!
Stack!
Ye Chuan put away the soul banner and looked at the dumbstruck Ji Lingxuan and the ten Mahayana experts. His tone was flat:
"I call this the 'Break Then Establish, Nirvana Rebirth Repair Method.' The God-Sealing Cauldron will be fixed in a moment. You guys, help me pick up those fragments first. I'm too lazy to move."
Ji Lingxuan looked at the shattered God-Sealing Cauldron again, unable to control the expression on her face any longer. "Grandmaster, those demons... where are they?"
"Destroyed them casually," Ye Chuan said.
Casually... destroyed?
A million great demons?
Ji Lingxuan seemed unable to accept that such a thing had happened. She rubbed her temples. "This Saintess... needs to go back and rest for a while. Grandmaster, please come visit another day."
The Mahayana cultivators also didn't know what to say, but they didn't dare to speak rudely to Ye Chuan now. Ye Chuan's actions just now had overturned their imagination.
One person suppressing a million demons!
Even if they were remnant souls, this wasn't something any Mahayana Realm, or even Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator could do!
Seeing the Saintess and the others looking like they had lost their souls, Ye Chuan didn't care at all. Instead, he said, "When the cauldron is fixed, remember to come and pick it up."
After speaking, he waved his hand casually and stuffed all the fragments into his inventory space.
"..." Seeing that Ye Chuan had such storage means but had just asked them to pick up the fragments, Ji Lingxuan felt her headache worsening.
"Return to the Sacred Land."

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
