Years ago, Shi Feiyang's ideas had opened Chan Master Xiaoyue's eyes to new possibilities. He had traded the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture for the Twelve Capitals Blazing Fire Banners and combined them with the Twelve Capitals Divine Fiends he had learned from Ancestor Haha.
Ancestor Haha had harbored no good intentions when teaching him that art. In secret, he had used a yin demon to bind Xiaoyue's primordial spirit, bringing his temperament under his control.
Later, Deng Yin had taken a liking to him and accepted him as a disciple. Xiaoyue had then learned the most advanced demonic cultivation art in this world, integrating all three into a single set of supreme treasures.
When Deng Yin had attacked Emei Mountain, Xiaoyue had accompanied him and used these magic treasures. Decades had passed since then, and both his art and his treasures were now several times more powerful.
Thirty-six great banners enclosed the space within a hundred-li radius, cutting it off from the outside. At his ringing shout, the banners fluttered and immediately unleashed thirty-six thousand fire dragons. Fangs bared and claws outstretched, they swarmed toward every target inside the formation except Chan Master Xiaoyue.
Countless fire clouds also transformed into demon heads. The primordial spirits of the "Eight Classes of Celestial Dragons" whom Xiaoyue had sacrificed earlier had all become god-demons, borrowing the flames to manifest bodies.
Many of them did not even know they were dead. They believed they had followed their master and sect leader in cultivation and reached the legendary paradise of Ultimate Bliss. Now they each flaunted their supernatural powers.
Some spat raging flames, some raised their hands to unleash thunder, and some gathered and dispersed without form...
The fire inside this formation was generated from vital energy drawn from twenty-four greater and lesser Myriad Heavens
