Chapter 1148: Chapters 1096-1097 Demon Summoning Banner Appears in the World_2 Chapter 1148: Chapters 1096-1097 Demon Summoning Banner Appears in the World_2 Boom!

In the world, the wind and clouds change form, lightning flashes, the continuous rumble of thunder echoes through the sky, and the glow of the sun, moon, and stars brightens extravagantly, revealing the will of heaven and earth.

All of the Demon Race, at this moment, felt a tremor and awe deep in their souls, as if something mysterious was connecting with them, calling out to their True Spirits.

This was the power of the Demon Summoning Banner. It contained the blood of all demons, gathering the Qi Luck of the various tribes of the Demon Race, offering protection but also acting as a constraint.

From then on, the Demon Summoning Banner became the Demon Race’s sacred relic, akin to the Human Race’s Kongtong Seal and Xuanyuan Divine Sword, and even more vital than they, capable of commanding the Demon Race.

Such a mighty artifact naturally exerted a suppressive force against any Demon Race, for in its presence, any demon would find their strength constrained and an instinct to submit would arise in their hearts.

“Hahaha, the Demon Summoning Banner has been successfully refined; our Demon Race no longer fears the Gods Sealing List!”

“The Human Race has the Gods Sealing List, and we have the Demon Summoning Banner. The birth of this banner proves that we are still cherished by the heavens and earth!”

“Indeed, the Human Race seeks to annihilate our Demon Race and build the Heavenly Court. So why shouldn’t we, the Demon Race, take this opportunity to vanquish the Human Race, dominate the world, and establish the Divine Court of the Demon Race!”

“Sixty years of conceding, all to refine this Demon Summoning Banner. For sixty years, our race has been relentlessly devoured by the Human Race. Now, at last, it is time to strike back.”

The appearance of the Demon Summoning Banner was an incredibly significant event for the Demon Race.

Many True Immortals and Monster Gods, even those accustomed to great adversities, could not help but reveal excitement on their faces upon the successful refinement of the banner.

After all, they had thought that after stepping into the True Immortal Realm, they could almost achieve immortality and everlasting life, but with the Shenxiao True Monarch wielding the Gods Sealing List, they faced the possibility of a threat to their lives, leaving these powerful beings restless.

They needed a counterbalance, a mighty artifact that could stand against the Gods Sealing List and eliminate that threat; the Demon Summoning Banner was that artifact.

No matter what the future held, no matter who wielded the Demon Summoning Banner, its existence alone gave them more confidence. In future battles against True Immortals of the Human Race, they would no longer have to hold back in fear of the Gods Sealing List.

“With the Demon Summoning Banner in hand, I, the Sovereign, even when facing the Shenxiao True Monarch who wields the Gods Sealing List, am no less formidable than him. In a true fight to the death, who would prevail is uncertain,” the Lion Emperor’s eyes brimmed with confidence.

As the nominal leader of the Demon Race, the pressure he felt facing Pei Xuanjing, who held the Gods Sealing List, was enormous and indescribable.

Now, with the Demon Summoning Banner successfully refined and the moment it came into his hands, feeling the divine might of this treasured artifact of the Demon Race, the Lion Emperor’s confidence soared, and his previous pressures were swept away.

Of course, he was also acutely aware that the terror of the Shenxiao True Monarch was not merely because he held the Gods Sealing List; even without it, his strength was tremendously formidable.

Therefore, the Lion Emperor could only claim that with the Demon Summoning Banner in hand, he was qualified to battle the other, but he dared not proclaim he could defeat him.

Nevertheless, this was already a significant change, for at least before the refinement of the Demon Summoning Banner, they had no standing to contend with the Gods Sealing List.

With the emergence of the Demon Summoning Banner, on this day, the earth trembled, felt by all the powerhouses.

Especially those in the Human Race venerating the Gods Sealing List on the platform outside the Great Ming Divine Dynasty in Tiandu, which shone with infinite light and radiated immense power. All powerhouses understood a fact.

And that was the birth of the Demon Race’s Demon Summoning Banner!

Two artifacts symbolizing the pinnacle of their respective races, upon sensing each other’s presence, unleashed terrifying auras that resonated and clashed, causing the winds to change, the earth to shake.

“`

Fortunately, neither the Gods Sealing List nor the Demon Summoning Banner had been activated by a True Immortal yet; thus, after colliding for quite some time, they both eventually settled down into silence.

However, as these two supreme artifacts fell silent, the hearts of all the powerful beings between heaven and earth could not return to their former calm. They all understood that the final decisive battle between the two races was about to begin.

In Xuantian Sect, the Profound Heaven True Monarch, who was in seclusion, slowly opened his eyes, and the divine light flickered within them, gradually dissipating.

“Demon Race! The Demon Summoning Banner!” The Profound Heaven True Monarch’s deep voice rang out as a Xuantian Banner fluttered behind him.

This Divine Weapon, belonging to the legacy of the Xuantian Sect, had finally metamorphosed into an Immortal Artifact after years of consecration following his ascension to True Immortal.

Although the Profound Heaven True Monarch did not suppress his opponent in the previous war, clashing with a True Immortal of the same Realm provided him with an opportunity to certify his own Taoist Divine Power.

As the premier Religious Sect of the Human Race, the Xuantian Sect, and its divine powers and skills, all stood at the pinnacle of existence, and the Profound Heaven True Monarch was among the strongest within the supreme strong of his time.

But after ascending to True Immortal, all the strong had almost started from the same starting line again, and everyone’s divine powers and skills needed to be re-evaluated and improved. How formidable his own divine powers and skills, raised to the Immortal Path Realm, would be, was uncertain to anyone.

Through this exchange, the Profound Heaven True Monarch realized although the Immortal Path divine powers and skills he had created were extraordinary, they could not be his invincible reliance in the Immortal Path Realm.

Moreover, the Profound Heaven True Monarch understood that perfecting divine powers and skills could not be achieved overnight. It required the sedimentation of time and walking further on the Immortal Path to make the divine powers and skills more powerful.

If everyone were on the same level, then the Profound Heaven True Monarch would not be in a hurry; he would choose to settle down, slowly improve, and steadily tread every step in the Immortal Path Realm.

As the Wielder of a top-tier Religious Sect, he never lacked such an indifferent mindset. The Xuantian Sect could also afford to wait.

However, not everything was as he had expected. Anything under heaven and earth could change and lead to unexpected events.

For instance, some people, who also became True Immortals at the same time, improved their cultivation at an astonishingly rapid rate, far surpassing others, leaving them far behind, and eliminating any further thoughts of progressing slowly.

This Shenxiao True Monarch was truly terrifying, not only bringing tremendous pressure to the Demon Race but also to these True Immortals of the Human Race.

No one wished to be surpassed, especially those who had once stood out and now were at the peak of power between heaven and earth.

Enhancing their own strength was the consensus among the True Immortals of the Human Race. In the situation where they could not swiftly advance in Realm, the best option was to completely transform their Magical Treasures and Divine Weapons into Immortal Artifacts.

The Profound Heaven True Monarch once did not want to consume all the Sect’s heritage, but now, to enhance combat power, he could only try to use all available methods to ensure the complete metamorphosis of the Xuantian Banner, a Semi-Immortal Artifact, into an Immortal Artifact.

“From this exchange, we have all come to the sobering realization of our insufficient strength, not just in this Sect, but among all True Immortals. The next great battle will inevitably be fiercer, and those whose strength is insufficient will simply be unable to participate,” deeply understood the Profound Heaven True Monarch.

This exchange among True Immortals was merely a probing, a confirmation of one’s Taoist Divine Power and one’s combat power within the True Immortal Realm.

But the next time the Human Race and the Demon Race incite a great war, it will surely be the final moments of the War of Sealing Gods. At that time, the existence of the races will hang in the balance, and all the strong will not hold back.

The commencement of the Godsealing Plan has completely disrupted the balance between the Human Race and the Demon Race, tearing apart the peace that lasted for countless ages, with no chance of restoring it to its original state.

The elevation of heaven and earth has not only led to the emergence of True Immortals but also given all the strong a glimpse of the hope for Immortality. For the sake of immortality, for the sake of taking complete dominion over this world, this battle is inevitable, even the True Immortals cannot prevent it.

The Profound Heaven True Monarch hastened the transformation of the Xuantian Banner, not just for himself but also for the many disciples of the Xuantian Sect, to fight for their chance at longevity.

And when he sensed the emergence of the Demon Summoning Banner, the Profound Heaven True Monarch knew that the ultimate battle was about to begin.
