But how rare is an Immortal Artifact of the Taoist Monarch level, especially since this Flag of Ten Thousand Souls still has room for growth. If he were not driven to a dead end, the Purgatory Demon Monarch would definitely not wish to destroy this Flag of Ten Thousand Souls to achieve his path to becoming a Taoist Monarch.

Because he knows that even if he were to ascend to a Taoist Monarch himself, he could never craft a Flag of Ten Thousand Souls like this one again. Not to mention that with past events, all sides are now wary, and also because of the will of heaven and earth looming in this world.

Why are the majority of the strong in this world unique, the real pinnacle strong, their Divine Weapon Immortal Tool, Magical Weapons rarely resemble those of other strong practitioners.

Because of the will of heaven and earth, only the first can receive the favor of heaven and earth. Those who cannot become the first will not obtain the greatest favor from heaven and earth. Creatures have Qi Luck, Divine weapon treasures likewise have Qi Luck.

Just as after the Creation Cauldron came into the hands of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, other powerful beings deliberately avoid crafting Magical Treasures of the cauldron type, for they know that even if they crafted such a Magical Treasure, it would not surpass the other, and to truly create the strongest cauldron type Magical Treasure, one must shatter the Creation Cauldron and seize its Qi Luck.

Although the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls is not the world's first True Immortal Level banner-type Magical Treasure, it was cast with countless Divine Souls by a coincidence of fate, making it leap to the first place in the world, and only then has it achieved its current status.

Once destroyed, the Qi Luck of the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls will surely scatter by the will of heaven and earth, and as the one who destroys this Flag of Ten Thousand Souls, will inevitably be loathed by heaven and earth.

In the future, even if more powerful banner-type Magical Treasures appear, they will definitely not end up in his hands.

So it seems that he holds a ticket to the Taoist Monarch level, but unless it is a last resort, he would absolutely not give up this Flag of Ten Thousand Souls.

After all, his current strength is built upon the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls, and if it were destroyed for him to prove himself as a Taoist Monarch, he would be just the most ordinary Taoist Monarch, at the bottom among the Taoist Monarchs.

But if he could rely on his own power to become a Taoist Monarch, and then take control of a Taoist Monarch level Flag of Ten Thousand Souls, even among the Taoist Monarchs, he would be an extremely powerful being, and the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Over the years, the Hell Demon Sect has also been continuously searching for opportunities for him to prove himself as a Taoist Monarch. Undoubtedly, Demonic Way strong practitioners like the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch are within his scope of attention.

Or rather, not just the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, but all the Strong of the True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer in this world, the Purgatory Demon Monarch is paying attention to, and once they discover any opportunistic fortunes, he will decisively compete for them.

Not only does the Purgatory Demon Monarch do this, but many True Immortals of the True Immortal Sixth Layer in this world are watching each other and waiting to respond to various parties, considering each other their greatest competitors.

It's just that at this time, the Purgatory Demon Monarch's attention on the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch is relatively more, after all, who would have thought that now, the God Refining Skill has almost become taboo in all circles, yet the practicers of the Ten Thousand Beast Demonic Sect do not take it to heart and continue their Cultivation.

According to the insider that the Purgatory Demon Monarch has placed in the Ten Thousand Beast Demonic Sect, they are still seeking the so-called Great Refining Technique.

Whether the Great Refining Technique truly exists is something that even the Purgatory Demon Monarch is doubting.

After all, even though he spread the God Refining Skill, it was not his own creation, but something he came across unintentionally.

As such, according to his thinking, the Great Refining Technique should exist. Coincidentally, this Great Refining Technique is useful to him as well.

Hence these years, this Purgatory Demon Monarch has also been ceaselessly sending people to search for traces of the Great Refining Technique, and although his speed is not as fast as the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch's, he has also locked his gaze onto the Myriad Laws Realm, following the latter's actions.

Especially when waiting for the grand battle between the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder and the Jade Emperor to erupt, confirming the existence of the Great Law Decree Technique, which increased the Purgatory Demon Monarch's confidence even more.

However, he did not choose to act rashly, instead he was waiting, observing every move of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, ready to intercept as soon as the latter made a move.

Indeed, the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch was formidable; by employing the Silk Puppet Technique, even True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer powerhouses of the same realm were no match for him, incontestably a peerless powerhouse just below a Taoist Monarch, with only but a few in the Realms of Heavenly Seas capable of besting him in the same realm.

However, the true measure of strength depends on whom it is compared against, and coincidentally, the Purgatory Demon Monarch was precisely an existence that could rival the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, with the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls at hand, he had no fear against any opponent of the same realm.

Nevertheless, it was the intervention of Lord Sheng that disrupted the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch's plan and completely thwarted the Purgatory Demon Monarch's scheming, so even though he had guessed the location of the Great Refining Technique, he could not take action anymore and could only wait.

Now Lord Sheng has appeared utilizing the Great Fate Technique, turning the Myriad Laws Realm into a trial ground, allowing these True Immortal Strong to enter and vie for the Great Fate Technique and the remaining Supreme Divine Powers, surely a light at the end of the tunnel.

After receiving this news, the Purgatory Demon Monarch did not choose to set out immediately but was instead waiting for the reaction of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, planning to make his move after the latter acted.

After all, even though he knew that the Great Refining Technique was in the Myriad Laws Realm, the related clues he possessed were too scarce.

If no one was paying attention, he would have been able to sneak in and confidently search on his own time.

But now the situation is entirely different, the entire Myriad Laws Realm has become a battleground of True Immortals, with the draw of the Great Fate Technique able to beckon countless True Immortals, not to mention the lure of the remaining few Supreme Divine Powers, one can imagine every ambitious True Immortal from the Realms of Heavenly Seas choosing to descend.

None of the powerhouses capable of achieving True Immortality are fools; once the Purgatory Demon Monarch descends, with his strength, he would unavoidably become the focal point of attention from all sides, and all his movements would be analyzed by many powerhouses, giving him no chance to search.

Therefore, it is better to wait for the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch to make the first move in search of the Great Refining Technique, allowing him to be the target, and to follow behind as the opportunistic catcher of the prey, which is the optimal choice.

This choice saves time and effort, and also ensures that the price he pays is not too steep.

After all, the Myriad Laws Realm is about to become a grand battlefield of numerous True Immortals, so if a multitude of them were to swarm in, even holding the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls wouldn't bring much advantage to the Purgatory Demon Monarch.

In light of his own situation, the Purgatory Demon Monarch still possesses a degree of self-awareness; compared to others, he can be said to have a notorious reputation.

Let alone the enticement of a Supreme Level Divine Power enticing powerhouses to act against him, with the many powerhouses he has offended, even without the temptation of the Supreme Divine Power, once mired in standoff, it is very likely that others would immediately seize the opportunity to strike.

"Cultivation has never been gentle; it is a struggle against the heavens, against the earth, against others, and against oneself!" Behind the Purgatory Demon Monarch, the shadow of the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls flickered into existence, Divine Light shimmered in his eyes, as Space seemed to collapse.

He knew his situation made him the object of universal envy and hatred, but he was still fearless. Those people, even if they wished to cut him to a thousand pieces, had not been able to do anything to him so far; he was still well and alive.

As for the thoughts of those people, the Purgatory Demon Monarch scorned them. Born into a Demon Sect, from the moment he came into the world, his life was filled with competition; it could be said competition was etched into his very bones.

He struggled for opportunities in cultivation, for skills, for Elixirs, for Divine weapons; everything he wanted to obtain was not granted by others but won through competition.

His path of cultivation was also one of fighting against others, wrestling fate with heaven and earth, and even forcing himself to cultivate, never daring to relax in his struggle against himself.

Only through such ways was the current Purgatory Demon Monarch molded; domineering, insidious, cautious, but daring to strive, never missing any sliver of opportunity.
