Cave Refuge

The parasite living inside that huge creature was not highly intelligent; it had once actively attacked other beings that had been swallowed into the creature's belly, but this was merely instinctual behavior.

Therefore, when it encountered the White Bone Puppet, it disregarded the bigger picture and allowed the White Bone Puppet to wreak havoc around it.

As the huge creature was subjected to the combined attack of the Bloodthirsty Banner and the Hundred Ghosts Banner, this once-powerful being now allowed Dong Tianyu to slaughter it without resistance.

Only after perceiving that the Three Flags were gradually bringing the huge creature fully under control did Dong Tianyu actively approach it with the Companion Spiritual Treasure in his hands.

Looking at the immense creature before him, now simply reduced to such a state that its life and death were in his control, Dong Tianyu felt a surge of emotions overwhelm him.

As Dong Tianyu fully activated the Three Flags, and the Blood Sea, controlled by the Bloodthirsty Banner, had completely assimilated the creature's body with Tainted Blood, its soul could no longer resist the pull of the Hundred Ghosts Banner and was directly absorbed into it.

When the Tainted Blood from the Blood Sea was retracted back into the Bloodthirsty Banner, the miscellaneous objects that remained in the creature's stomach, undigested by its gastric juices, and the parasites and White Bone Puppets that had lived inside the creature,

appeared in the deep sea just like the bones left over after the flesh and blood of the huge creature had disappeared.

Facing this situation, there's not much to say about those miscellaneous objects; they scattered directly into the deep water. The parasites that were originally residing inside the huge creature, not being able to swim, could only sink into the depths along with the undigested miscellaneous objects.

The suddenly emerged White Bone Puppets, along with the remains of the huge creature's skeleton, were collected into the White Bone Banner.

When the Three Flags returned to Dong Tianyu's side, he suddenly came to his senses; the immense creature, which had previously been completely out of his control, now had a perfectly adequate countermeasure to deal with.

Although this countermeasure was somewhat troublesome, it was certainly a lot of progress compared to the past when he was at a complete loss.

After slaying the huge creature, Dong Tianyu didn't hurry to leave the area but began to refine the Three Flags on the spot.

Because the Three Flags absorbed everything from the creature's soul to its flesh and bones, which were just short of enough resources to evolve, they now satisfied the conditions for advancement.

So Dong Tianyu wasted no time, directly refining them to allow them to upgrade once more.

It has been said before that the Three Flags, being among the most common Magical Weapons in the Demon Path, have very clear upper and lower limits.

Because their method of refinement is simple, the Three Flags became the iconic Magical Weapons of those in the Demon Path.

In fact, for most people in the Demon Path, they use the Three Flags not because they are particularly powerful in battle, but because the Three Flags are considered an essential Divine Artifact for cleaning up the battlefield.

Although the way to upgrade the Three Flags is also simple, the majority would rather make a few more Three Flags than spend resources on upgrading them, and most of the Three Flags carried by people are of very low grade.

The reason is actually quite simple: the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Three Flags are considered to be at the lower end among Magic Artifacts of the same level, regardless of how simply they can be refined and upgraded without the need for various other materials.

Despite Dong Tianyu's current use of the Three Flags to achieve victory against higher-level opponents, this is based on the premise that the opponent is completely unable to fight back.

Although Resentful Spirits can not only ignore physical barriers and directly attack the opponent's soul, but also be immune to all physical damage,

even the most common techniques can inflict damage on Resentful Spirits, let alone the fact that most Cultivators are essentially of Daoist origins and are quite skilled in methods to deal with Ghost Creatures.

Not to mention places like the Celestial Master's Mansion and Mount Shaw, where catching spirits and subduing demons are their forte.

As for the Tainted Blood stored in the Bloodthirsty Banner, under the same consumption, other Magical Weapons could inflict a thousand points of damage, but the Tainted Blood in the Bloodthirsty Banner's Blood Sea could only achieve a little over a hundred.

Last but not least, the White Bone Puppets in the White Bone Banner actually face the same situation as the Resentful Spirits in the Hundred Ghosts Banner; the majority of Cultivators possess methods to exorcise demons, and compared to Resentful Spirits capable of physical attacks, White Bone Puppets are even more vulnerable to dual assaults.

Of course, despite the poor combat effectiveness of the Three Flags, it reached the point where almost everyone in the Demon Path has one, because the Three Flags can not only be used in battle, but also after to clean the battlefield.

Besides simple refinement and the minimal materials needed for upgrades, the main reason is that they can also be used as production tools.

You see, to refine most Demon Path Magical Weapons, regardless of their level, you can hardly avoid using souls, flesh, and bones.

Normally, without the help of the Three Flags, whether it's collecting souls or extracting the Essence of Flesh and the Essence of White Bone, it involves very complicated procedures.

But once they get the Three Flags, to obtain souls, the Essence of Flesh, and the Essence of White Bone, all they need to do is expend some Spirit Power, and the Three Flags will do the work for them.

Simply put, the Resentful Spirits in the Hundred Ghosts Banner, the Blood Sea emanated from the Bloodthirsty Banner, and the White Bone Puppets in the White Bone Banner are not like in-game items that are account-bound and cannot be traded, but rather are freely removable and tradable goods.
