Chapter 896: The Sun's True Fire Scorches the Earth
So many humans died, and so many ghosts had nowhere to go. Including the battle between humans and demons, countless demons died. The number of demons killed by Murong Ji's sword energy alone was in the billions.

Within three months, countless sea monsters died in Chentang Pass.

The fact that hundreds of thousands of humans who had no aptitude for cultivation were able to be turned into Taiyi True Immortals by feeding them elixirs shows how many demons died.

With such a huge number of ghosts, it stands to reason that the underworld should have summoned them out of the world at this time, and Hou Tu should have had the opportunity to become a saint and instantly become the most holy person on earth.

But the current situation is really hard to figure out. Does Hou Tu have to survive this calamity?

Just as he was thinking, the person behind him suddenly raised his head and looked at Murong Ji. His face turned pale and he asked in a trembling voice, "Are you also affected by the calamity energy? Why do you feel so uncomfortable all over?!"

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "The fusion of the resentful spirits of the human race and the calamity energy in the sky was my doing. I wanted to use it to erode the luck of the demon race, but who could have thought that it would backfire, hahahaha."

As he spoke, Murong Ji spread his hands and said, "In the future, during the Lich Calamity, the more lives that die, the more calamity energy there will be."

Hou Tu was stunned on the spot, her face pale, looking at Murong Ji, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Murong Ji suddenly lifted her chin and said with a half-smile: "You are so nervous about me, you are not really in love with me, are you?!"

Hou Tu rolled her eyes in annoyance, slapped Murong Ji's hand away, stood up and walked into the house.

"Again? Are you urging me to do hard labor?!"

Hou Tu looked back at Murong Ji angrily and shouted, "Get lost!"

"Okay." Murong Ji turned over and got down from the stone table, took a few steps forward, and entered the house before Hou Tu closed the door.

After a hard day's work, Murong Ji half-lying on the bed, looking at Hou Tu who was covered in sweat in front of him, while his fingers were playing with Hou Tu's beautiful hair.

In his heart, he was constantly weighing the pros and cons, [The underworld has not been released yet, maybe... not enough lives have died! ]

Because the number is not large enough, they cannot cause the evil aura to the extent of attracting the underworld!

It is estimated that it will take until the middle and late stages of the Lich Tribulation to reach that level of yin and hostility.

Murong Ji came back to his senses, and suddenly thought of the resentment of the living beings on himself and Hou Tu, and the aura of the calamity was still getting worse.

After only a short while of their enjoyment, the aura of disaster on their bodies became so strong that it could not be dispelled.

Looking with Cang Yan, he saw the murderous aura surging up and he couldn't see Hou Tu's face at all. The murderous aura kept pouring into his body through the acupoints, corroding his soul and consciousness.

Murong Ji has a method to immobilize his body, and he can protect himself by using the laws of nature. His body is a world of its own, and the calamity energy cannot do anything to him.

Hou Tu can't do it. As time goes by, if she continues like this, let alone becoming a saint, even death and the disappearance of her soul are good results.

Looking at the beautiful hair in his hand, Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and pulled Hou Tu's hair. It was fine and strong enough. He did have a way to solve the problem of erosion by calamity energy.

"You should cut your hair..."

Hou Tu opened her eyes tiredly and looked at Murong Ji in surprise.

Without waiting for her to speak, Murong Ji continued, "Use your hair to weave a piece of cloth, and then let me refine it into a banner. I have a way to solve the problem of the witch tribe's evil spirit surrounding them."

Hou Tu opened her eyes instantly, her pupils widened, and asked in surprise: "Are you serious?!"

"really!"

Hou Tu wanted to get up and cut her hair right now. Just as she sat up, Murong Ji hugged her slender waist. "Don't worry. Besides, I have an idea. Shouldn't you give me some rewards?"

Hou Tu's face froze, "Come again?!"

……

It's noon now.

When the two got up, Hou Tu cut off her beautiful hair.

Murong Ji started to weave. Weaving is a craft and the requirements for the Juxian Banner are very high, but he was afraid of any mistakes.

Since the hair was not enough, Murong Ji cut off his own hair.

A few days later, Murong Ji sat cross-legged beside the furnace, staring closely at the Pure Karma Sword Lotus in the furnace.

Not far away, standing there were Houtu Xuandu and his companions.

With hand gestures and incantations, one after another, patterns of instruments were injected into the furnace. Murong Ji looked at the Gathering Immortal Banner in the furnace and curled up the corners of his mouth slightly. With this thing, it would be easy to gather the resentment of living beings and dissolve the calamity.

Then what is he afraid of!
The flames forged with the power of heaven and earth of the entire Huaxu Kingdom can be used to refine magic weapons without any pressure. The power of the Pure Karma Sword Lotus is incredibly great.

Murong Ji has refined the Gathering Immortals Banner many times, and the refining speed has increased a lot, but he still needs to be patient and polish some details.

Hou Tu’s hair is thick, after all, it grew from the ancestor witch, and the cloth woven from it is very tough.

In the past, it would have been impossible to weave cloth made from hair to refine the Gathering Immortal Banner.

Now, Murong Ji's body has reached an incredible level because of Zhou Shan's power of heaven and earth, comparable to that of the ancestor witch.

Some body functions and even hair have undergone changes.

This is barely enough to weave fabrics.

A few days later, the Gathering Immortal Banner came out of the furnace. Murong Ji shook it casually, and the black Gathering Immortal Banner floated directly. He activated the magic weapon, and the endless resentful evil spirits and various negative energies around him gathered together.

In an instant, murderous energy was already rising, and as the Gathering Immortal Banner fluttered, it directly transformed the murderous energy into wisps of gray mist.

All of them gathered on the jade beads on the banner.

Along with the resentment of all living beings, it was also consciously collected on another jade bead.

Murong Ji attracted the calamity energy and then used the Gathering Immortal Banner to evolve it into pure energy of heaven and earth.

Murong Ji was not unfamiliar with the energy of heaven and earth. It was a gray mist, just like the beginning of the universe.

This mist is much purer than the spiritual energy and evil energy.

Xuan Du and the others were indeed somewhat surprised when they saw this scene. They had never come into contact with this kind of aura before. It was as if they had an idea that this thing was born to look like this.

Or maybe this is the nature of all things.

Murong Ji came back to his senses, rolled up the Gathering Immortals Banner, tucked it under his armpit, walked out of the room step by step, and walked towards the main hall in the center of the palace.

Arriving at the center of the palace, Murong Ji directly found a stick for the Gathering Immortal Banner and propped it up right above the hall.

He activated the Gathering Immortals Banner, causing endless calamity energy to surge over, linking up the power of heaven and earth of the entire Huaxu Kingdom, and using the Gathering Immortals Banner to filter out the calamity energy in the power of heaven and earth.

This will trigger the calamity energy that escapes from the entire country.

Murong Ji stood on the roof of the palace with a slight smile on his face. This hall was where they handled their daily government affairs. Now, they used it as the center of the formation to integrate the power of heaven and earth of the entire Huaxu Kingdom.

The calamity energy that gathers and absorbs in this way will have an extremely frightening effect.

Turning his head, he saw the Gathering Immortal Banner beside him fluttering in the wind. Countless gray mists spread along with the power of heaven and earth, and were carried to various places in Huaxu Country by the surging power of heaven and earth.

Countless calamities passed through the Gathering Immortals Banner.

Especially the few people closest to the palace, the calamity energy on Hou Tu and the others was gradually absorbed over, and there was no way it could enter their bodies, but the calamity energy surrounding their bodies was becoming less and less.

Murong Ji secretly exhaled a breath, looked at Hou Tu below the palace, raised his eyebrows slightly, and after thinking about it, he decided that Hou Tu would be more beneficial to the human race after she became a saint.

As long as Hou Tu is prepared for the counterattack of the Wu clan, she can still restrain Nuwa from doing anything wrong.

As things stand now, there is some affection between Hou Tu and the human race, so if she takes action against the Wu clan in the future, there will be something to talk about.

Seeing that most of the calamity energy around the palace had dissipated, Murong Ji landed directly next to Hou Tu, drawing a large amount of calamity energy around Hou Tu, which entered the Gathering Immortal Banner and turned into a misty gray fog.

Then, the power of heaven and earth surging like water appeared in the air and gradually dissipated.

Hou Tu noticed that a large amount of calamity energy around her dissipated, and she also consciously expelled the calamity energy accumulated in her body. Her consciousness gradually became clearer, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

I felt so relaxed for a moment and secretly let out a breath.

When she came to her senses, Hou Tu found that a whole day had passed and it was late at night. She didn't know when Murong Ji carried her to the bed, and she lay beside her, sleeping soundly.

Hou Tu adjusted herself to a comfortable sleeping position, snuggled in Murong Ji's arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

Dawn.

There was a faint rumbling sound of drums in the sky, getting closer and closer, and the sounds of countless flapping wings moved in unison, getting closer and closer.

There seemed to be the sound of soldiers cheering up, and the large-scale military operations made a lot of noise.

Soon, endless trumpet sounds were heard, signaling that the enemy was approaching.

Countless people woke up, and Murong Ji also slowly opened his eyes. After getting up, he calmly put on his clothes, walked out of the door, and saw the sky as bright as day.

It was still dawn, how could the sky be so bright? ! With a glance, I saw the golden crow in the sky, emitting a dazzling light.

The sky above the capital of Huaxu State was illuminated by the golden crow, as if it were daytime.

The true fire of the sun scorched the earth, but was blocked by an inexplicable energy, protecting the creatures in the city below.

The mountains, rivers and land around the capital suffered a great disaster. All the grass and trees in the farmland were burned to death, and the smell of burning grass gradually spread.

Murong Ji walked out of the room and looked at the Golden Crow in the sky. He couldn't tell whether it was Emperor Jun or Emperor Donghuang. He flipped his hand and a red jade disk appeared.

In an instant, all the endless true fire of the sun was attracted and turned into strands of golden light, sinking into the jade disk.

The true fire of the sun was scorching hot, and the Xuanhuojian was also a little hot. These temperatures were not a problem for Murong Ji, but became the energy to operate and nourish the Xuanhuojian.

Looking up again, the Golden Crow slowly transformed into a king wearing an imperial crown.

At first glance, it was Di Jun.

Di Jun looked at the people below with pride, especially the top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Xuanhuojian, in Murong Ji's hand.

His eyes became heavier and heavier, and finally fell on Hou Tu beside Murong Ji.

"Hou Tu! I didn't expect you to be here too!"
