"Du Tian!"
Rosefinch's son was wearing a fiery red robe and his hair was moving without any wind. Although he looked a bit old, his eyes were like torches and he gave off a sense of majesty.
This person casually stood there, but the entire world seemed to lose its color. All the light shined on this person's red robe, making him look down on Suzaku.
They couldn't feel any spiritual energy from his body, and they couldn't even feel celestial spiritual energy. However, even early stage Ascendant cultivators would be defeated by this person. Even mid stage Ascendant old monsters would involuntarily retreat.
He was the only late stage Ascendant cultivator on Suzaku.
He was the true master of Suzaku!
"Back then, my country of Rosefinch had an agreement with your Soul Refining Sect. When the country of Rosefinch was in danger, your Soul Refining Sect had to lend out the one-billion-soul soul flag. Today, the Old Man is here to borrow the flag. Du Tian, hand it over!" Rosefinch's son slowly said.
"Bullshit!" Du Tian took a deep breath as he clenched the one-billion-soul soul flag. He stared at Rosefinch's son and shouted, "How come I've never heard of an agreement between my Soul Refining Sect and your country of Rosefinch? Old Thief Rosefinch, if you want the spear, just come and take it. There's no need to put on such a disgusting act!"
Rosefinch's son looked at Du Tian, slightly shook his head, and sighed. "This is an agreement between the first generation Rosefinch and your Soul Refining Sect. You don't know about it, but the Old Man knows about it from ancient records. Today, the Old Man isn't here to steal it, he is here to borrow it!"
With that, his hand reached out, causing the sky to change colors. Rays of red light gathered from all directions, forming a giant red hand that pressed down toward Du Tian.
"Old thief!"
Du Tian let out a roar as he waved the one-billion-soul soul flag. The one-billion-soul soul flag was released by Du Tian without any hesitation. In addition, aside from the fourth soul, the other 35 primary souls also charged out.
Everything within a 50-kilometer radius was covered by the black soul fragments. Waves of roars and screams came from within the black soul fragments.
The voices of a billion men, women, old and young were gathered together. It was several times more powerful than any sound wave artifact. As the rumbling continued, the ground within a radius of fifty kilometers immediately cracked, and several mountain ranges instantly collapsed.
Aside from the fourth soul, the 35 primary souls had ferocious expressions. They charged up and tore apart the red hand formed by Rosefinch's son. Then they scattered and fiercely stared at Du Tian's son.
"Du Tian, since you're so stubborn, the Old Man can only teach you a lesson on behalf of your Soul Refining Sect's ancestors. The one-billion-soul soul flag, the Old Man said I'll lend it to you, so I'll lend it to you."
Zhuque Zi looked at the surrounding one billion soul fragments. His eyes narrowed slightly and he calmly said, "You're too weak.
"Lend it?
How long do you want to borrow it for? "Du Tian laughed.
Rosefinch's son's expression was calm as he said, "Lend it to my Rosefinch Kingdom for 10,000 years. After 10,000 years, I'll naturally return it to you."
"Old thief Rosefinch, my Soul Refining Sect has a saying: as long as the flag exists, the person exists. If you want to borrow it, you can attack!" Du Tian's eyes became cold as his hand formed a seal and pointed forward.
"Condense!"
Suddenly, the one-billion-soul soul went crazy and condensed into the 35 primary souls. Shortly after, the 35 primary souls fused with each other.
Rosefinch's eyes lit up. He couldn't allow this kind of fusion to continue. His right hand reached out and a red feather appeared in his hand.
He held the feather and threw it forward. The feather began to burn and let out a ghostly light.
"Rosefinch Sacred Flame!" An ancient voice came from Rosefinch's son.
Suddenly, the burning feather trembled and collapsed with a bang. An extremely ferocious flame spread out with the feather as the center. In the blink of an eye, it covered the surrounding 50 kilometers.
Everything within 100 kilometers was surrounded by this flame. The power of this flame was unimaginable. The three mountains of the Soul Refining Sect were melted, leaving behind a black, viscous liquid. However, the moment the liquid appeared, it immediately vaporized.
Even the cave where Wang Lin was in closed door cultivation disappeared along with Wang Lin.
At this moment, the entire Soul Refining Sect disappeared from Suzaku. Everything disappeared, including the hundreds of disciples inside. Not a single one of them survived. Even the three Soul Formation cultivators who were hiding in the golden cloud were killed.
The 35 primary souls that were about to fuse with each other were also surrounded by the flame. They emitted black smoke and revealed painful expressions.
"Rosefinch Sacred Flame …" Du Tian's expression was extremely ugly.
Three ancient jade slips were flying around him, emitting waves of gentle light that blocked the invasion of the flames.
Rosefinch's son's expression was calm as he slowly said, "Du Tian, the heavens are benevolent. The Old Man originally didn't want to do anything, but you brought this upon yourself. Don't blame the Old Man!"
Du Tian took a deep breath, bit the tip of his tongue, and spat out a large mouthful of blood. He sat down, formed a seal, and shouted, "Soul Escape!"
Du Tian wasn't his real name, but his daoist name. This daoist name was given to him by his master. Just like what he and Wang Lin said before, every owner of the one-billion-soul soul flag had a different way of using it. Du Tian's method was to escape!
The 35 primary souls released a flash of green light and disappeared. They escaped from the Rosefinch Sacred Flame and appeared before Du Tian.
"What?" Rosefinch's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Fuse!"
Du Tian coughed out another mouthful of blood that landed on one of the primary souls. The primary soul trembled and the other 34 primary souls fused with it.
In the blink of an eye, an aura that could compete with Rosefinch's son appeared. At this moment, it was as if the sky had been torn in half. On the left, the red flame represented Rosefinch's son.
On the right, the black light represented the late stage Ascendant soul formed by the 35 primary souls and one billion soul fragments.
As soon as the soul appeared, it waved its right hand at the ground. Immediately, the flames within a hundred miles were swept away. The flames on the right were swept away to the left.
Just like the sky, the ground was clearly red and black.
Rosefinch's pupils shrank. His expression was a bit ugly as he stared at the late stage Ascendant soul fragment and slowly said, "Not bad. Just this ability alone makes this soul flag my, Suzaku's, treasure!"
Du Tian's face was pale. He only had one year of lifespan left, and after using the soul flag's fusion spell, his body was like a lamp that had run out of oil. His eyes became cold and he softly said, "Kill him!"
The late stage Ascendant soul fragment didn't move. He waved his right hand and a thunderous rumble came from the sky. The clouds within 50 kilometers quickly gathered and formed a human figure.
This body was formed by clouds, but at a glance, it looked no different from a normal person.
The Ascendant soul fragment took a step and fused with the cloud figure. The cloud figure opened its eyes and stared at Rosefinch's son.
"The Cloud Might Body is indeed the power of a late stage Ascendant cultivator!
However, you are fused, so I want to see how long you can last! "Rosefinch's son's expression was ugly.
Once he finished speaking, he pressed his right hand against the air. Immediately, a red light flashed, and a small red sword the size of a palm appeared in front of him.
The moment the sword appeared, the flames on the ground seemed to be sucked into it. They rose from the ground and fused with the sword.
"This sword's original name is ancient and no one knows it. After the first Rosefinch obtained it, he named it the Rosefinch Sword." As Rosefinch's son spoke, he pointed at the sword with his right hand.
The flying sword immediately turned into a ray of red light and a large amount of celestial spiritual energy appeared on it. This sword was infinitely close to the sword of a real celestial.
This sword was a celestial treasure!
The cloud figure's eyes lit up and he waved his right hand. His entire right arm left his body and turned into a white flying sword. This sword was the same size as the Rosefinch Sword aside from its color. Even the celestial spiritual energy it gave off was just as large.
With a point of his finger, the small, white sword immediately flew out.
The red and white swords were like two meteors that collided. There was a series of thunderous rumbles. The white sword was clearly no match and was pushed back. However, the Rosefinch Sword was also affected by the small, white sword's celestial spiritual energy and slowed down a bit.
The cloud figure stared at Rosefinch's son and revealed a smile. His body suddenly collapsed into eight small swords that were exactly the same as the one before. They also contained a large amount of celestial spiritual energy. With one move, the eight flying swords charged out. Three of them stabbed toward the Rosefinch Sword and the remaining five charged toward Rosefinch's son like lightning.
Rosefinch's son's expression was ugly as he retreated a few dozen feet. He slapped his bag of holding and a red gourd appeared in his hand. He quickly shouted, "Collect!"
The five flying swords were surrounded by a powerful force and were sucked into the gourd in the blink of an eye.
Rosefinch's eyes lit up and he was about to use the gourd to collect the remaining four flying swords. However, just at this moment, cracking sounds came from inside the gourd and a heaven-shaking sound came out.
With a bang, the gourd shattered and the five invincible flying swords flew out toward Rosefinch's son without any hesitation.
At the same time, the four flying swords that were fighting the Rosefinch Sword seemed to have been summoned. They threw off the Rosefinch Sword and charged toward Rosefinch like crazy.
Rosefinch's expression changed greatly and he retreated even more.
It wasn't that he wasn't a match, but the Ascendant soul formed by the soul flag was filled with death. Although he was confident he could win, he would inevitably be injured. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he didn't have much lifespan left. Once he was injured, his lifespan would be shortened.
Most importantly, the Forsaken Immortal Clan's second formation had been activated. If he was injured now, he would be beyond redemption.
