After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

Chapter 1401

The city lord's mansion is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, yet it is filled with scorching fire-attribute spiritual energy. The exotic flowers and rare herbs planted in the courtyard are all fire-attribute spiritual plants, and the rocks on the ground are gleaming red from being scorched by flames all year round.

Master Ziyang strode into the main hall, turned to look at Qin He, and could no longer conceal the greed in his eyes: "Quickly, show me the Nanming Li Fire!"

Qin He slowly raised his hand, and the Southern Bright Fire reappeared at his fingertips. The flames were even brighter than before, and the golden Vermilion Bird patterns were clearly visible. A powerful Vermilion Bird Law spread out, causing the temperature in the entire main hall to rise sharply.

"Please look, Venerable One, this fire is extremely pure and contains profound fire-based laws."

Master Ziyang's eyes burned with fervor, and he couldn't help but reach out to grab it: "So hot! So hot!"

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the flame, Qin He's aura suddenly changed.

The golden and black intertwined law patterns erupted instantly, sweeping through the main hall like a tidal wave. A powerful pressure, returning to simplicity, descended heavily, forcing Master Ziyang's hand back three feet.

Master Ziyang's expression changed drastically. He took a step back, and the fire attribute laws around his body surged instantly. Crimson light patterns covered his entire body like magma, and the stone pillars in the main hall were instantly cracked by the heat: "You...who are you?"

Only then did he belatedly realize that the cultivation level of the person before him was no lower than his own. Within that aura of interwoven gold and black, there was a demonic intent that made his soul tremble, yet it was also mixed with the weight of the laws.

Before Qin He could speak, Master Ziyang sensed something was wrong.

The doors and windows of the main hall had been sealed shut by black mist at some point. This black mist was not ordinary demonic miasma, but rather solidified, ink-like demonic energy. Each strand was wrapped with fine spatial patterns, and as it slowly circulated, it devoured all the surrounding fire-attribute spiritual energy.

"Evil!"

Master Ziyang roared, and a crimson fireball condensed in his palm. Golden flame patterns were faintly visible in the center of the fireball, which was the flame core condensed from his main cultivation technique, "Blazing Sun Technique." "You dare to play tricks on me? You're courting death!"

The fireball shot through the air, sizzling as it passed, leaving a charred trail on the ground, and even causing a faint distortion in space itself.

Qin He raised his fingertip, and a wisp of golden-black law power shot out, seemingly slowly, but precisely striking the center of the flame core.

"Oh!"

The fireball shattered instantly, turning into countless sparks that were swallowed by the black mist before they even hit the ground. Master Ziyang felt a numbness in his palm, and a backlash spread along his arm, causing his blood and qi to surge.

"You...what are you?!"

The attack was easily neutralized by Qin He, and Master Ziyang was horrified. He felt a surge of fear, and the flames around him surged, transforming into a streak of fiery red light that rushed straight towards the roof.

He wanted to break through the restrictions and send messages to the surrounding divine court strongholds.

The moment the beam of light touched the black mist on the roof, it was bounced back by an invisible force.

The black mist followed him relentlessly. No matter which direction he tried to break through, it was as if he had crashed into an impenetrable wall. Instead, he was entangled by the black mist, which burned his spiritual power.

"impossible!"

Master Ziyang was both shocked and furious, and the fire patterns around his body surged once more. "I am the Earth God registered in the Divine Court, in charge of the merits of Changyang County. You dare to imprison me? Believe me or not, the Divine Court will issue an order to grind you to dust!"

He raised his hand and pointed to the space between his eyebrows, where a golden light was faintly visible. It was the mark of the Earth God bestowed by the Divine Court, carrying a faint divine light of merit: "This is the mark of the Divine Court. To touch me is to be an enemy of the Divine Court!"

Qin He chuckled and stepped forward slowly. Golden and black law patterns flowed beneath his feet, and faint law array patterns appeared on the floor of the main hall: "Don't worry, you won't die."

“If you die, the Divine Court will immediately notice something is wrong, and I don’t want to be exposed too early.” He paused, his tone slightly playful, “I’m here simply to invite you to a place.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin He raised his hand and lifted the Black Demon Banner.

Over the past six months, he has absorbed the demonic miasma of the Soul-Eating Abyss and refined it anew. The Black Demon Banner is now completely different from what it used to be.

The banner was pitch black, with gold and black law patterns flowing along its edges. The blood-red "demon" character on the banner surface became even more ferocious, and a dragon-shaped soul shadow could be faintly seen writhing inside the banner. The black aura surrounding the banner was mixed with a trace of law pressure, which was more than one level stronger than before.

"The Demon Banner?!" Master Ziyang's pupils shrank, his face filled with horror.

In shock and rage, Master Ziyang went completely mad.

"Dare to touch me, and the Divine Court will never let you off. I am protected by the Divine Court and have been resurrected from the dead. Do you really think I am made of clay?"

Fire-attribute laws and merit-based divine light intertwined around him, transforming into a blazing sun hanging overhead. Within the blazing sun, the faint phantom of the Earth God appeared. "Blazing Sun Burns the Heavens!"

The blazing sun crashed down with a destructive force, instantly turning the beams and pillars of the main hall to ashes. A crater several feet deep was burned into the ground. The golden holy light and crimson flames intertwined, temporarily repelling the black mist.

A cold glint flashed in Qin He's eyes, and he suddenly swung the Black Demon Banner.

"Buzz!"

A torrent of black energy surged from within the banner, from which countless blades of law condensed and slashed toward the blazing sun.

At the same time, Qin He conjured a black sword at his fingertips, infusing it with the power of the golden and black laws. Star patterns appeared on the sword's surface, and he unleashed a slash with a raised hand.

"Dawn breaks over the azure clouds!"

The sword light, like the dawn breaking, pierced through the flames and holy light, aiming straight for Master Ziyang's brow.

Master Ziyang's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly activated his divine light of merit to protect himself, and a fiery shield condensed in his palm.

But the moment the sword light fell, the fiery shield shattered like paper, and the divine light of merit was also torn open.

"puff!"

Master Ziyang was sent flying backward by the sword light, spitting out blood, and the fire patterns on his body dimmed considerably.

He couldn't believe that his mid-stage Other Shore Realm cultivation was no match for Qin He's three moves.

"You... how could you possibly have so many, and so powerful, laws of enlightenment?"

Qin He did not answer. The Black Demon Banner was waved again, and black energy surged in like a tide, enveloping Master Ziyang.

The black energy seeped into his body through his wounds, devouring his spiritual power and divine light of merit.

"I am the Earth God of the Divine Court, you cannot kill me!" Master Ziyang struggled frantically, his flames surging again, but it was all in vain.

Qin He raised his hand and clenched it, the power of the golden and black laws condensing into a palm print, which slammed into Master Ziyang's chest.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones shattering rang out, and Master Ziyang's physical body instantly collapsed, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Only a wisp of golden soul shadow, filled with terror and resentment, tried to escape.

"Want to go?"

Qin He sneered, and the Black Demon Banner sucked in the air, forcibly drawing that wisp of soul into the banner.

His gaze swept over the messy main hall, and he grinned. His bones cracked and popped, and soon a "Master Ziyang" appeared, dressed somewhat differently but with a very similar appearance and aura.
