When they grow up, their spirits and emotions will naturally generate strong negative energy, becoming vast fuel for the furnace.
This process is simple, similar to how an Evil God harvests followers. However, the method is more covert, and the harvesting process is slightly more troublesome.
Gao Xuan suddenly understood. For the Evil God, human Spiritual Power is energy, food, and a resource.
A trillion humans represent an immense wealth.
The Black Banner King ruled over the Black Banner Star Realm for two thousand years, harvesting countless amounts of Spiritual Power.
Yet it's strange why the Black Banner King didn't directly set up an idol for easier harvesting of Spiritual Power.
Gao Xuan became curious. If human Spiritual Power is a resource, then living humans are like land, constantly producing food.
Why would the Evil God want to annihilate humanity?
This question, upon deeper thought, truly lacks a convincing answer. Unless they are out of time, and the Evil Gods are making one final big move?
Unfortunately, such a complex and grand question isn't something that can be figured out quickly.
The most crucial task now is to deal with the Black Banner King. They've created a massive furnace, and although its purpose is unknown, it feels incredibly powerful.
The path of an Evil God is different from that of the Cultivator World. Although Gao Xuan studied abroad, he couldn't comprehend what the furnace was for.
Gao Xuan could sense the furnace emanating a frenzied aura, prompting the Six-winged Celestial Cicada to emit a sharp cry.
Luckily, this level of danger was still acceptable for Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan said to the Black Banner King, "Are you ready? I'm about to make my move."
Just as the Black Banner King was about to speak, a flicker of aqua-colored sword light rippled in his eyes.
This sword light was like a calm lake at sunset, with tiny ripples randomly caused by a fish, pushing the radiant evening light to sway gently across the water. The glow was both bright and ethereal.
The Black Banner King's mind was momentarily captivated by the sword light. However, being a powerful Evil God, he quickly regained his composure.
Without hesitation, he activated the Greed Furnace. The furnace, having absorbed negative emotions for two thousand years, roared to life, providing him with immense Spiritual Energy.
The Black Banner King's Spiritual Power instantly tripled. With sheer Spiritual Power alone, Gao Xuan's exquisitely brilliant Sword Intent was shattered.
The Black Banner King smirked inwardly. Gao Xuan's Swordsmanship was genuinely advanced, already showcasing the demeanor of a peerless Grandmaster of Sword Dao.
However, under the inexhaustible power of the Greed Furnace, all intricate techniques and Sword Intent Realm lost their significance.
After crushing the Heaven and Water Sword Intent, the Black Banner King amassed Source Power with his surging Spiritual Power, finally extending his right index finger lightly forward.
The rippling and circulating Ripple Sword light paused as the Hongyi Sword revealed its genuine form, clear as water.
When the Black Banner King's index finger touched the sword tip, he channeled all thirty million degrees of Source Power into it.
Handling thirty million degrees of Source Power and condensing it into a single point are two different matters.
Using the Greed Furnace, the Black Banner King managed to concentrate such formidable Source Power into a single point.
He expected that this single touch would take half of Gao Xuan's life. After all, it was thirty million degrees of Source Power.
Even without any particularly exquisite technique, this force far exceeded the Golden Upper Tier level.
Surprisingly, when he made contact, the Hongyi Sword shimmered slightly, with aqua light within the blade surging like tides. Gao Xuan, along with the sword, remained unharmed, effortlessly neutralizing the monstrous blow.
"What kind of sword is this!?"
The Black Banner King didn't see any Law in the Hongyi Sword, only sensing the marvelous structure of the blade, existing between matter and energy, but not a Marvel possessing a unique Law.
Consequently, the sword entirely absorbed his divinely powerful Finger Force, and the blade remained intact.
The Black Banner King became interested in the sword and changed his gesture to grasp, attempting to seize the Hongyi Sword.
Relying on his formidable Spiritual Power and superior Source Power manipulation, with the Hongyi Sword engulfed in agitated force, he grabbed the sword body.
Just as he exerted strength to seize the Hongyi Sword, it transformed into a stream of water light, freeing itself from his grasp and directly penetrating his chest.
The heavy Black Banner Armor was forged from the blood of countless people and their negative emotions, solid yet as ephemeral as smoke.
The aqua-colored sword light entered the Black Banner Battleship like a drop of water falling onto black smoke, stirring a wisp of smoke but causing no substantial damage.
The Black Banner King dared not be careless anymore and activated the Greed Furnace to unleash endless Spiritual Power.
In a blink, the Black Banner King's Spiritual Power erupted like a volcano. Even with a myriad of Gao Xuan's transformations and Divine Techniques, facing an unrestricted assault of absolute power was something he could only dodge.
Gao Xuan withdrew his sword and retreated, instantly returning to his original position, as if he had never moved.
The tidal wave of Spiritual Power released by the Black Banner King didn't end, solidifying the Spiritual Power in the air into countless crimson runes. Billions of runes formed a giant net, trapping Gao Xuan and the other five Pirate Kings inside.
The battle between Gao Xuan and the Black Banner King was so swift that the Red Dragon King and the other Pirate Kings couldn't intervene in time.
When the Black Banner King's Spiritual Power was released, the Red Dragon King and the other Pirate Kings suffered a massive shock, leaving them disoriented.
Once they regained clarity, the invisible net made up of billions of runes had already enshrouded them.
The Red Dragon King looked astonished, "Boss, what is this?"
Sitting on the throne just outside the invisible net, the Black Banner King said indifferently, "This is the Black Banner Combat Arena. Only when one side is completely wiped out can the survivors leave here."
He looked at the Red Dragon King and said, "Before killing Gao Xuan, I have no way to let you out. It's time to fight desperately. Only through battle is there a chance to survive!"
The Red Dragon King wanted to curse but didn't dare. The other Pirate Kings were in the same state.
All five Pirate Kings glared at Gao Xuan, wishing they could tear him apart.
Gao Xuan smirked, "You are both foolish and useless. Your boss is harming you, yet you vent your anger on me."
"Don't wait, let's join forces and kill him!"
The shifty-eyed Flying Rat King raised his short sword, urging the others to attack together.
Before he finished speaking, a flicker of aqua-colored sword light rippled in everyone's eyes.
The Red Dragon King and others were shocked, each hastily activating their weapons to defend, only to find they were deceived by Gao Xuan's Sword Intent.
As expected, Gao Xuan had already sheathed his sword, smiling as he watched them.
Moments before, the Flying Rat King, who had drawn his sword and shouted, suddenly had a red line spreading from his forehead, his body bursting into a mass of blood.
The Red Dragon King, Mad Tiger King, War Elephant King, and Golden Monkey King were all visibly tense. The Mad Tiger King and War Elephant King had frightened, terrified eyes. These Initial-tier Golds could no longer hide their fear.
Gao Xuan's sword move had frozen their hearts, shattering their courage.
