Profound Yellow Merit Fire

Although Lu Yan had never seen what the Red Lotus Karma Fire looked like, he was certain that the ball of flame in his hand, which exuded a grand and righteous aura, was definitely not the legendary Red Lotus Karma Fire. Instead, it was closer to the Profound Yellow Merit Fire mentioned in the Demonic Path Magical Artifact Secret Records.

The Profound Yellow Merit Fire is a Divine Power Fire refined from Merit by those with great Merit. It is a genuine Golden Core Divine Power.

Although what Lu Yan held in his hand could not be called a complete Profound Yellow Merit Fire, it at least possessed a trace of its divine essence in embryonic form.

One must know that the method of Divine Power is a technique that only Golden Core True Persons can master. While it is true that some major sects possess special Divine Powers that can be cultivated at lower realms, they often require extremely stringent conditions.

Either a special physique or a rare heavenly material and earthly treasure is needed, and only one in a hundred cultivators is qualified to practice them.

To cultivate a Divine Power Fire at the Third Layer Qi Refining, even if it is just a trace of a Divine Power in embryonic form, is enough to cause immense astonishment.

Reaching out to touch the Profound Yellow Fire, Lu Yan did not feel any burning or stinging. Instead, the inner demons that had manifested from the anxiety and confusion of the past few days completely dissipated, leaving him with a sense of peace of mind.

In the Demonic Path Magical Artifact Secret Records, the description of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire was only a few brief sentences.

Among Divine Powers, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire is a very special type. Under normal circumstances, its offensive power is not strong. As a fire-attribute Divine Power, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire focuses more on protective techniques, capable of warding off inner demons and being impervious to all spells.

However, when facing demonic and evil cultivators, the power displayed by the Profound Yellow Merit Fire far surpasses that of its peers.

No matter what kind of demonic spell or magical artifact it is, none can withstand the burning of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire. Even the Thousand Soul Banner, which is comparable to a Golden Core magical treasure, is no exception.

It is precisely because of its powerful restraint against demonic magical artifacts that the Demonic Path Magical Artifact Secret Records recorded information about the Profound Yellow Merit Fire Divine Power.

However, the book's record of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire is limited to this, as it is merely a secret record for refining demonic magical artifacts, not a Divine Power scripture.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan slowly extended his right hand, which was holding the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, towards the Soul Banner beside him that had quieted down.

As the firelight spread and shone upon the Soul Banner, the grand and righteous aura seemed to be stimulated by something and began to grow rapidly, as if it wanted to completely expel the impure aura on the Soul Banner.

Before the Profound Yellow Merit Fire even touched the Soul Banner, Lu Yan saw the ferocious and terrifying expressions on the faces of the more than ninety Vengeful Souls gathered on the banner surface disappear, replaced by expressions of extreme terror.

Piercing wails emanated from the Soul Banner. The Vengeful Souls continuously crashed against the Soul Banner, seemingly trying to break free and escape, but they were completely unable to escape the banner's restraint.

"It really is the Profound Yellow Merit Fire!"

If it weren't for this type of Divine Power Fire that naturally restrains the demonic path, these Vengeful Souls would not be so terrified.

In terms of suppressing Vengeful Souls, the effect of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire is far superior to that of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire still needs to burn karma to deter Vengeful Souls, while the Profound Yellow Merit Fire has already instilled fear in the Vengeful Souls even before being truly used, naturally making Lu Yan overjoyed.

This meant that his goal of suppressing the Vengeful Souls and re-controlling the Soul Banner had been achieved.

The only downside was that the wailing of these Vengeful Souls went straight to his soul, giving Lu Yan a headache, causing him to let out a loud shout.

"Shut up!"

The next moment, the hundred ghosts within the Soul Banner fell silent, not daring to say another word.

Feeling the trembling of the Vengeful Souls, Lu Yan pondered for a long time before dispersing the Profound Yellow Merit Fire and reaching out to touch the Soul Banner.

Without the suppression of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, the Vengeful Souls within the Soul Banner seemed a bit restless, but they did not resist due to the deterrence Lu Yan had previously shown.

Lu Yan easily took the Soul Banner, which was close to the level of a Top Grade Magic Tool, into his hand.

"This easy?"

Lu Yan's eyes widened slightly, his expression somewhat disbelieving.

It wasn't surprising that he was so astonished. The riot of these Vengeful Souls had troubled Lu Yan for too long, to the point that the Profound Yellow Merit Fire suppressed the numerous Vengeful Souls before even fully displaying its power, giving Lu Yan a sense of unreality.

With a flick of the Soul Banner in his hand, the Mana within his body rapidly drained away. Ninety-eight Vengeful Souls and one main soul, the Warrior, all appeared within the building.

The pervasive ghostly mist spread throughout the entire building. This massive structure seemed to be dragged into the Netherworld in an instant.

The Vengeful Souls that had left the Soul Banner freely moved through the floors, ghostly mist swirling around them. The faces on their bodies, filled with malevolence, stared intently at Lu Yan.

As the quality of the Soul Banner improved to the level of being close to a Top Grade Magic Tool, the Soul Banner had undergone earth-shattering changes. The range of the ghostly mist and the distance over which the Vengeful Souls could be controlled had greatly increased.

The Vengeful Souls within the Soul Banner had already reached the Second Layer Qi Refining realm the moment the Soul Banner's grade was promoted to High Grade. Their cultivation was comparable to Lu Yan's previous level, which was why Lu Yan found it difficult to suppress the Vengeful Souls.

The moment Lu Yan released the numerous Vengeful Souls, these malevolent ghosts showed signs of restlessness. In contrast, the Warrior, as the main soul, knelt on the ground, his face full of reverence.

Lu Yan had completely subdued this not-so-intelligent main soul during his previous suppression of the Warrior.

It was also thanks to the assistance of the Warrior, who served as the main soul of the Soul Banner, that Lu Yan was able to suppress the Vengeful Souls within the Soul Banner during this time, preventing them from appearing outside and spreading danger.

Now that Lu Yan had actively released the Vengeful Souls, it naturally caused unease among them. Many Vengeful Souls instinctively wanted to break free from Lu Yan's control.

The next moment, as if a majestic Divine Power had descended, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire rose from Lu Yan's left hand.

Under the illumination of the firelight, large areas of ghostly mist around Lu Yan melted away like ice and snow. The ghostly mist that had spread throughout the entire building also retreated by more than half under the suppression of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire.

As for the Vengeful Souls in the room, the malevolence on their faces instantly turned into terror. They trembled and lay on the ground, imitating the Warrior's posture and prostrating themselves before Lu Yan.

Restlessness, unease, resentment – the twisted and complex emotions subsided in an instant.

Even the Soul Banner in Lu Yan's right hand seemed to sense the threat and actively lowered its aura, as if it had turned into an ordinary object.

Lu Yan looked down at the more than ninety Second Layer Qi Refining Vengeful Souls before him, understanding that he had completely mastered this Demonic Soul Banner, which was close to a Top Grade Magic Tool.

The Profound Yellow Merit Fire, as a Merit Divine Power, had a restraining effect on Demonic Vengeful Souls that even exceeded Lu Yan's original imagination.

With the Profound Yellow Merit Fire present, Lu Yan no longer needed to worry about whether he could suppress this Demonic Path Magical Artifact. He could completely command these Vengeful Souls to hunt more zombies and gather more and stronger Vengeful Souls for the Soul Banner.

As long as these Vengeful Souls could not escape the restraint of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, Lu Yan would be able to perfectly control the Soul Banner. At that time, hunting powerful zombies at the Peak Qi Refining stage would not be difficult.

Even when the number of Vengeful Souls reached several hundred, Lu Yan was confident in hunting a Foundation Establishment Zombie King with his Qi Refining body!
