King of Creation Chapter 2021 - 2006: Heritage Banner

"This Marshal has forged a physical body, and you all must serve well. When the time comes, this Marshal will reshape your bodies for you!"

"We are willing to serve the Grand Marshal to the death!"

"Serve to the death!"

"Serve to the death!"

"Serve to the death!"

As Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar, forged from the corpse of the Three-eyed Demon Clan’s Jii Yan, appeared before Hei Er, Hei Qi, Hei Jiu, and others, and raised its arms in a rallying cry, the tens of thousands of Demon Soul Army gathered here kneeled and roared with fervor.

Especially the powerful Demon Souls, whose eyes revealed a fervent glow.

The higher the cultivation, the stronger the spirit wisdom of these Demon Souls.

Like Hei Er, Hei Qi, Hei Jiu, and other Demon Souls of the Realm King Realm, even their faces showed signs of fervor.

Evidently, they longed greatly to possess a physical body.

Ye Zhen didn’t know where this desire came from; perhaps it was the innate wish to become stronger.

As pure energy bodies, such as Demon Souls, they are at a significant disadvantage in actual combat.

Originally, the thunderclap power, representing the utmost power of the heavens, had tremendous damage against the Demon Clan, and even greater damage against spiritual bodies like Demon Souls.

If the thunderclap power’s damage to the Demon Clan is at one point five, then it’s possible the damage to Demon Souls, as energy bodies, is three or even more.

Without further ado, after Ye Zhen’s Demon Marshal’s Avatar fused with Jii Yan’s physical body, Ye Zhen felt that his Demon Marshal’s Avatar, also known as the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, had its combat power soar by at least double.

Originally, the Demon Marshal’s Avatar, with its Ninth Stage Peak Realm King Realm cultivation, could barely contend against a Ninth Stage Peak Martial Artist with its Supreme Demon Suppression Artifact, Blood Shadow Long Saber, and High Grade Suppressing Armor.

However, after refining Jii Yan’s physical body, even unarmed, it can easily heavily wound or even slay a Ninth Stage Peak expert.

Previously, Ye Zhen had Wang Baimu, who had recently broken through to the Dao Realm, engage in a duel with the Mystical Mechanism Avatar.

Relying on the Supreme Demon Suppression Artifact, Blood Shadow Long Saber, the Mystical Mechanism Avatar could not only contend with Wang Baimu but subtly suppress him as well.

Of course, this has to do with the cultivation of Jii Yan of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, who had already reached the Early Dao Realm at the time of his fall, and like the Demon Clan, their physical bodies are extremely strong.

In other words, Ye Zhen’s current Mystical Mechanism Avatar is a very peculiar combination. The primordial spirit itself is rather weak, only at the Ninth Stage Peak of the Realm King Realm, but its physical strength surpasses most Early Dao Realm experts.

The combat power cannot be measured by common sense!

"Rise!"

With a gentle command, Ye Zhen, or rather Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar, turned its gaze to the massive White Bone Gate, beginning to attempt possible methods of opening.

The first task, naturally, was to immerse the primordial spirit’s divine sense into the White Bone Gate, trying all kinds of Demon Clan secret techniques deeply rooted in the bloodline that were previously attempted.

After a while, Ye Zhen’s brow furrowed, still won’t work.

However, Ye Zhen wasn’t worried. According to Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou’s previous words, with a divine thought, a golden drop of origin essence blood flew from the center of the Mystical Mechanism Avatar’s forehead gently towards the White Bone Gate.

Almost the moment this drop of genuine Three-eyed Demon Clan origin essence blood approached, the White Bone Gate shot countless eerie white lights.

As if receiving, it accepted that drop of origin essence blood.

As the drop of Three-eyed Demon Clan’s origin essence blood fell onto the White Bone Gate, it was completely absorbed by the White Bone Gate.

Waves of blood-colored patterns fluctuated like ripples on the White Bone Gate, yet to Ye Zhen’s impatience, these blood-colored patterns flashed back and forth, but the White Bone Gate wouldn’t open.

Even when the Mystical Mechanism Avatar rushed to push it, there was not the slightest movement.

"Hmm?"

After contemplating, the War Soul Blood Flag suddenly soared into the sky behind Ye Zhen, hovering above the White Bone Gate, as a blood light shot from the War Soul Blood Flag, enveloping the White Bone Gate.

Then, Ye Zhen quietly stared at the White Bone Gate.

Didn’t Achou say this War Soul Blood Flag was a token? Now the token and bloodline are ready, it should be about time.

Yet, despite Ye Zhen’s hopeful waiting for half a quarter-hour, the White Bone Gate shrouded under the War Soul Blood Flag’s blood light remained motionless.

"Achou, what’s going on?" With a somewhat unsatisfied mood, Ye Zhen sent a thunder light that swept Achou out of the Dark Palace.

Seeing this, Achou pondered for a good while before slowly speaking, "Geez, I have no idea!

Why not let the War Soul Blood Flag be used by the Mystical Mechanism Avatar? Let the War Soul Blood Flag absorb a bit of the Mystical Mechanism Avatar’s aura and give it a try."

Ye Zhen thought for a moment, that might be it.

The dripping origin essence blood belonged to the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, but the aura of the War Soul Blood Flag belonged to Ye Zhen. Though the Mystical Mechanism Avatar and Ye Zhen are one, their auras are still different.

With a divine thought, the War Soul Blood Flag turned into a blood light, flying toward the Mystical Mechanism Avatar.

"This treasure aligns with the ally, henceforth, this treasure shall be used by the ally!"

The Mystical Mechanism Avatar also bowed to Ye Zhen, as a primordial spirit divine light emerged, imprinting its mark on the War Soul Blood Flag.

This is the mystical part of the Mystical Clone Skill handed down by Lud Li.

The treasures can be shared between the main body and the avatar, usable by both, but the power manifested is different.

Additionally, although the avatar is one with Ye Zhen, it independently exists, not merely a strand of Ye Zhen’s divine separation.

Quite mystical.

In the next moment, Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar forced out another drop of origin essence blood, letting it drip toward the White Bone Gate slowly, while the War Soul Blood Flag imbued with the Mystical Mechanism Avatar’s aura just recently also flew from behind its brain, a blood light directly shrouding the White Bone Gate.

Unexpectedly, as if some mechanism was triggered, a thunderous explosion erupted from the massive White Bone Gate.

The colossal white bones forming the White Bone Gate creaked and rotated, countless giant white bones began to retract and rotate.

In the blink of an eye, a huge portal was created in the White Bone Gate, towering a hundred zhang high and thirty zhang wide, but the portal wasn’t entirely open.

From the surrounding giant white bones erupted countless eerie white lights, forming a vortex of white light teeming with evil qi.

"It’s open!"

Achou cheered, and Hei Er, Hei Qi, Hei Jiu, and others were all filled with joy, looking at Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar with changed eyes.

They had been working for several months to open the White Bone Gate, but the Grand Marshal opened it in just a few days.

"If there’s really a heritage from the Ancient Demon God inside, maybe, there truly could be significant gains?" Thinking of the benefits, Achou’s eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Don’t rush!"

Ye Zhen, however, wasn’t in a hurry to let the Mystical Mechanism Avatar enter.

With a divine thought, Ye Zhen’s shoulder flickered, and a Mirage Avatar abruptly appeared, then quickly walked towards the white light vortex in the center of the White Bone Gate.

As the Mirage Avatar touched the white light vortex, an overwhelming battle intent burst forth, containing countless pure death wills.

The moment the battle intent surged, Ye Zhen’s Mirage Avatar was pulverized into nothingness.

Ye Zhen involuntarily let out a muffled groan, as his Mirage Avatar was destroyed, causing his Primordial Spirit to waver slightly.

"It seems that I won’t be able to pass through this portal openly."

Murmuring softly, Ye Zhen waved to Hei Er, "Bring a Dark Palace Realm war general over."

"Grand Marshal, the Dark Palace Realm war general has been brought."

"Go, see if you can pass through that portal."

Under Ye Zhen’s command, the Dark Palace Realm Demon Soul war general walked fearlessly toward the White Bone Gate, stepping in at the instant the overwhelming battle intent reappeared, like raging waves, directly sending the Dark Palace Realm Demon Soul war general flying back.

Ye Zhen noticed that when the Dark Palace Realm Demon Soul war general charged forward, the overwhelming battle intent lacked the irresistible pure death will that impacted Ye Zhen’s Mirage Avatar.

Bear in mind, Ye Zhen’s Mirage Avatar possesses at least one-tenth of Ye Zhen’s power, and with Ye Zhen’s cultivation at ten times the strength of a Seventh Stage Realm King Realm expert, his Mirage Avatar has at least the power equivalent to a Peak Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm martial artist.

However, Ye Zhen’s Mirage Avatar was directly destroyed, while this average Dark Palace Realm Demon Soul war general was only repelled.

It seems that this White Bone Gate isn’t simple at all, it can distinguish between Human Clan and Demon Clan.

Still, bypassing a selection method for the dead isn’t that hard a task.

With a thought, Ye Zhen issued another military order.

"Hei Qi, Hei Jiu, each of you lead two hundred Realm King Realm Demon Souls, ten thousand Dark Palace Realm, with me into this Secret Realm. Hei Er, you lead the remaining forces, continue to encircle this valley and hold the current realm." Ye Zhen commanded.

Since it is an Ancient Demon God’s territory, Ye Zhen felt that bringing Demon Souls of Demon Clan origin might prove more useful than going alone.

"We obey Grand Marshal’s military order!"

Upon receiving their orders, Hei Qi and Hei Qi appeared puzzled, "Grand Marshal, didn’t we just attempt, these Demon Souls can’t enter that realm gate?"

"I have a brilliant method to take you inside, gather the troops!" Ye Zhen shouted.

"Yes!"

An hour later, Hei Er watched in astonishment as those two hundred thousand Dark Palace Realm Demon Soul troops and four hundred Realm King Realm Demon Souls vanished into thin air before the Grand Marshal.

If he weren’t certain that the Grand Marshal would never harm them, he might have been unable to resist the urge to inquire deeper.

So many individuals disappearing without a trace.

Ye Zhen didn’t provide an explanation, his lips only curled into a mysterious smile.

The space within the Mirage Dragon Pearl was incredibly vast, not to mention two hundred thousand troops, with a bit of squeezing, even a million troops would fit, especially these Demon Soul armies which don’t need food, drink, or sleep, perfectly suited for storage within the Mirage Dragon Pearl space.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

With a thought, the War Soul Blood Flag descended from the sky, Ye Zhen himself returned to the Mirage Dragon Pearl, which then transformed into a small emblem, attaching itself to the Mystical Mechanism Avatar.

For precaution, the War Soul Blood Flag covered the area where the Mirage Dragon Pearl attached to the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, tightly concealing its aura.

Subsequently, the Mystical Mechanism Avatar moved swiftly toward the central white vortex of the White Bone Gate.

In a flash of light from the white vortex, the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, draped in the War Soul Blood Flag, effortlessly passed through the white vortex, stepping into the White Bone Gate and disappearing from view.

Almost the instant the Mystical Mechanism Avatar passed through, there was a series of clicks and clacks, countless massive white bones and skulls extended forth, instantly restoring the White Bone Gate to its original state.

The white vortex Light Gate seemed as though it had never appeared.

....

In the moment when Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar, draped in the War Soul Blood Flag, passed through the White Bone Gate, within the Demon Clan Territory of the Primordial Continent, countless ancient castles and palaces belonging to the Demon Clan, black flags suddenly erupted with an eye-piercing blood light.

Blood light burst forth through the castles and palaces, shooting straight towards the heavens.

In an instant, numerous ancient beings within the Demon Clan were startled awake from their cultivation, opening their eyes rapidly.

Soon after, numerous urgent talisman lights or emergency communication methods transmitted messages far and wide.

In the void, terrifying spatial fluctuations surged continuously, causing the void to ripple like water.

Anyone knowledgeable in Spatial Divine Ability would notice this was a Great Divine Power practitioner breaking open the void with teleportation, spanning millions of miles in an instant!

As one of the royal clans among the Demon Clan, in the depths of the Treasure Hall of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, a flag covered in countless dusts emitted an eye-piercing blood light.

After issuing the order to gather elites, the Grand Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Wusheng, while awaiting, silently stared at this flag covered in countless dusts, known as the Heritage Banner, for a long time.

That’s right, the Heritage Banner.

This blood-red flag, identical to the War Soul Blood Flag held by Ye Zhen, is known as the Heritage Banner within the Demon Clan.

Only in terms of aura, it is far weaker than Ye Zhen’s War Soul Blood Flag.

The great war from ten thousand years ago, and the countless wars prior to ten thousand years ago, saw the Demon Clan lose countless Demon Gods.

These Demon Gods, referred to as Ancient Demon Gods by the Human Clan.

The fall of an Ancient Demon God is different from an ordinary martial artist’s demise.

A battle capable of causing an Ancient Demon God’s fall is generally long and drawn-out, many Ancient Demon Gods were heavily injured by the Human Clan and Creation Gods, suffering irreversible wounds, dying brutally while wailing day and night.

Yet these Ancient Demon Gods before they died, were unwilling to conform, it could also be said to be their Demon Clan tradition.

Every Ancient Demon God before their complete demise, would exert their utmost effort to leave behind their Demon God heritage.

Yet often, they couldn’t find tribesmen or descendants nearby to leave heritage when they fell.

Thus, many Ancient Demon Gods at their demise would leave their Demon God heritage behind, then craft multiple Inherited Treasures, using their last strength to send them to worlds where Demon Clan exists, quietly awaiting a fated Demon Clan.

Knowing this heritage, the older and more honorable the Demon Clan race, the more Inherited Treasures they collect.

Yet, these Inherited Treasures lose power while traversing the void.

Only when the heritage of an Ancient Demon God is activated or discovered, will these Inherited Treasures regain their divine light, guiding their owners to the path.

The War Soul Blood Flag held by Ye Zhen was, by chance, sent by a dying Ancient Demon God to the war fortress Demon Soul Hall within the Demon Clan.

With the supplemental power of the Demon Soul Hall, it didn’t entirely fall into slumber, leading to Ye Zhen acquiring the War Soul Blood Flag, thus enhancing it, resulting in today’s creation.

"This is the thirteenth activated Inherited Treasure I’ve encountered in my lifetime, let’s see if this Inherited Treasure can bring us Three-eyed Divine Clan an Ancient Demon God’s heritage..."

In a murmur, a Dao Realm member of the Three-eyed Demon Clan silently appeared behind Grand Elder Jii Gongyue, "Report to Grand Elder, the elite candidates you designated from our clan have all been brought."

"Hmm...."

With a faint hum, Jii Gongyue casually tossed a Jade Scroll, "Go, prepare the offerings according to the list. Then, let them in."

Upon receiving the Jade Scroll and merely glancing at it, the Dao Realm member of the Three-eyed Demon Clan was shocked; the first item on the list, one hundred and eight thousand Human Clan slaves, was enough to make him dizzy.

Nonetheless, he dared not show any sign, with a wave of his hand, a group of over ten elite members of the Three-eyed Demon Clan filed in.

Golden Flower Demon King Jii Hua astonished to be included!
