Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 469 Crisis

Chapter 469: Chapter 469 Crisis

Greed, anger, lust, jealousy, slaughter...

Each head of the giant turtle represents a different desire. Evil is born from human desires, so they naturally evoke the deepest desires in human hearts.

Thus, every glance, every twist of the giant turtle’s body can stir the deepest desires of the soul.

Even though Xiao Yue and the others, who have passed away, hide within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, they feel their spirits waver upon seeing this massive evil entity. Fortunately, they are protected by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, as their divine souls and fan souls belong wholly to it, and it is merely Shen Siyuan’s visual projection, so they were not mentally shaken.

If it were ordinary ghosts, even just watching Shen Siyuan’s visual projection, their souls would likely be twisted by desire.

These heads may not seem aggressive, but in reality, they are formidable. Without the "Sun Observation Method" to stabilize his mind, Shen Siyuan would have long been devoured by his own desires, ultimately becoming a beast or some unknown monster.

Shen Siyuan’s sword is very powerful. With one slash, a flaring light cuts through the sky like a hot knife through butter, splitting heaven and earth in two, and the giant turtle is no exception, as countless heads are split in half under this sword.

However, this massive evil entity seems unharmed, as countless heads regrow, and the fallen heads wrap around each other, forming a giant python that directly coils towards Shen Siyuan’s body.

Before it even approaches, Shen Siyuan feels an icy chill piercing to his core, freezing his soul and consciousness.

He doesn’t even have the strength to swing his Divine Sword again. Frost starts spreading upward from his lower body, extinguishing the warmth brought by the Fire Qi and the miraculous flames behind his head, leaving him with no warmth at all.

Fear rises in Shen Siyuan’s heart. He never expected the severed snake heads to be so formidable, feeling even stronger than the main body.

At this moment, however, Shen Siyuan doesn’t panic. His mind remains exceptionally calm, and he quickly thinks of a corresponding strategy.

He summons the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword with his consciousness, activating the elemental field in the sword. Its magnetic properties instantly stir the omnipresent magnetic field around. Although the giant python is a soul entity, it is still affected by the magnetic field, causing its coiling around Shen Siyuan’s body to pause.

Though brief, Shen Siyuan seizes the moment to use the primordial magnetism to escape instantly. The distance isn’t very far—it’s the result of a month of cultivation—but it’s enough to take him out of the giant python’s range.

Warmth returns to his body, and Shen Siyuan gasps for breath, not daring to pause even slightly as he frantically operates the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Divine Sword within him. Sword Qi stirs the omnipresent Five Elements and primordial magnetism in the air, forming a Tongtian Sword Beam to strike at the giant turtle and the giant python from afar.

Previously, he was a bit apprehensive, fearing the destruction of the palace beneath the giant turtle. But with his life at stake, he no longer cares about such concerns.

The Divine Sword in his hand fans out like a peacock, with beams of Sword Qi transforming into countless streaks of light, tearing through the void and attacking ferociously.

The giant turtle and giant python are sliced into dozens of pieces by the Divine Sword in his hand, and even the vast palace beneath the turtle isn’t spared.

At first, only ripples spread out, resisting the Sword Qi’s attack, but after dozens of continuous strikes, the palace is finally breached by one of the swords.

Thus, the palace is cleaved in two by the Sword Qi, forming a long ravine.

However, this massive commotion attracts other evil entities lurking elsewhere, who all rush towards this direction.

Shen Siyuan knows he can’t stay here long; otherwise, if surrounded by evil entities, not even his mighty Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword would be able to save him from death and annihilation.

So, after delivering dozens of strikes, he immediately employs the Escape Technique, intending to flee once again.

But at this moment, a black glimmer shoots out from the broken palace, heading straight for Shen Siyuan’s face.

Shen Siyuan is startled and tries to dodge, but it’s too late. The black glimmer collides with his forehead, causing him to instinctively lean back just as the Escape Technique initiates, making it impossible to stop.

As a result, he is flung backward dozens of kilometers before finally falling back.

The observers within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner all scream in unison, their hearts leaping in concern.

Everyone is worried, except for Dou Dou, who has the most faith in Shen Siyuan.

"No worries, Potato is the best; he’ll be fine in no time."

Just as she finishes speaking, the sky above shifts in view, obviously indicating that Shen Siyuan has risen and sat up again.

"See, I told you Potato would be fine," Dou Dou says smugly.

But no one pays attention to him; everyone else is deeply concerned about Shen Siyuan’s condition.

At this moment, the sky turns into a scene of countless stars, clearly showing that Shen Siyuan has disabled the visual sharing, heightening their worry.

In fact, Shen Siyuan, as Dou Dou predicted, wasn’t harmed at all.

Though the black glimmer hit his forehead, it didn’t cause any damage, though it frightened him greatly. It took him a while to recover.

His Divine Sense dives into the Sea of Consciousness, revealing a large, jet-black seal floating within.

This seal is round on top and square at the bottom, completely black, giving off a sense of heaviness.

There are a few characters on the seal that Shen Siyuan doesn’t understand; perhaps they’re not even traditional characters, as Shen Siyuan can’t identify the script at all.

Suddenly, with a thought, Shen Siyuan summons the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, using a finger formula to pull Duoduo out from it.

"Brother."

Seeing Shen Siyuan appear in front of her, Duoduo immediately calls out and worriedly approaches.

"I’m fine, let’s go back."

He dares not linger here, unsure when more evil entities might arrive.

"Okay."

Duoduo responds, waving her small hand to summon the Qiankun Umbrella above their heads. As the universe overturns, the two quickly vanish from their spot, returning to the room.

Shen Siyuan’s choice proves wise, as the moment he returns to the Mortal World, the area he just vacated is already surrounded by countless massive evil entities, all roaring in frustration upon finding him gone.

Duoduo exhales with relief, looking back to Shen Siyuan with eyes full of worry.

Shen Siyuan makes a finger formula to release Xiao Yue and Dou Dou from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner as well.

"Ha, I told you Potato is fine."

Seeing Shen Siyuan appeared before her fine, Dou Dou jumps up joyously.

Xiao Yue says nothing, only casting a concerned look at Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan waves his hand, saying, "I’m fine, but I need to retreat for a while. When Sister Ruan wakes up tomorrow, tell her not to disturb me in the room."

Xiao Yue nods understandingly, "Don’t worry, brother, we’ll make sure no one disturbs you in the room."

Hearing this, Dou Dou quickly waves her small axe.

Savagely cute, she adds, "Who dares disturb Potato, I’ll chop them with my Little Old Axe."

Shen Siyuan reaches out to ruffle her little head, then motions for them to leave first.

But at that moment, Duoduo leans her head in, as Shen Siyuan had just patted Dou Dou without patting her, which just wouldn’t do.

His previously gloomy mood now lightens, prompting him to also ruffle her little head.

Only then does she contentedly follow Xiao Yue and the others out of the room.

Meanwhile, Shen Siyuan sits cross-legged on the bed, his consciousness once again sinking into the Sea of Consciousness.

Having an inexplicable object in the Sea of Consciousness is extremely dangerous, not just a threat to his life but potentially capable of taking over his consciousness and body, forcing him to be cautious.

PS: That’s it~

Happy New Year~, May the Year of the Snake bring great fortune.
