Chapter 5423Soul Devourer’s fingertips traced the ancient patterns on the treasure box, muttering to himself. Black demonic energy enveloped the box like a living being, colliding violently with the golden light emanating from it.With a sizzling sound, the pages of the tome automatically flipped open, and lines of golden ancient characters flew out of the book, condensing in the air into a massive rune, emanating a terrifying divine pressure.“Break!”Soul Devourer roared fiercely, pressing the sacrificial tome against the boulder with his right hand.The golden rune instantly collided with the demon-suppressing rune on the boulder. The moment the two forces intertwined, the entire Divine Capital trembled violently, deep chasms formed in the ground, and rubble rained down.The demon-suppressing rune on the boulder began to twist and shatter, and the golden light was gradually swallowed by the black demonic energy.A moment later, with a resounding boom, the boulder crumbled, revealing the bottomless Nine Nether Abyss below.A bone-chilling chill erupted from the depths, accompanied by waves of chilling roars. The demonic spirits, suppressed for millennia, were stirring.Soul Devourer gazed down at the abyss’s depths, only to see a vast golden shield hovering in the center. Ancient runes covered the shield, and countless black shadows clashed frantically within it. Each impact caused the shield to vibrate violently, dimming its golden glow.“This is the seal!”the unparalleled elder on his right exclaimed excitedly. “The ancestors of the Divine Nation expended countless efforts to establish this seal. If it is broken, all 100,000 demonic spirits will be released!”Soul Devourer sneered and raised the sacrificial tome once again.This time, he no longer suppressed the tome’s power. Golden light erupted like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire Nine Nether Abyss.Ancient characters within the tome flew out, shooting towards the golden shield like golden swords.Every time an ancient character fell on the light shield, the ancient runes on the light shield would dim a little, and the cracks would spread.“In the name of the Soul Devourer, with the power of the Sacrificial Codex, I will break the seal and release the demon souls!”The Soul Devourer’s voice echoed through the Nine Nether Abyss, carrying an irresistible majesty. As the last ancientcharacter landed on the light shield, a crisp “crack” sounded, and the golden light shield was instantly covered with cracks, followed by a loud shattering.An even more intense wave of cold and demonic energy erupted from the depths of the abyss. Countless black demon souls surged from the depths like a tide, roaring and soaring into the sky.“Ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand…” The elder on the left of the two unparalleled elders counted the demon souls, his voice growing increasingly excited. “Lord! Fifty thousand demon souls already! More are coming!”noveldramaThe first demon soul to burst out was enormous, covered in bone spurs, its eyes like blood-red lanterns, and its fangs bared, emitting a suffocating murderous intent.After landing, they knelt on one knee before the Soul Devourer, their voices hoarse and respectful, “Greetings, Lord!”The Soul Devourer nodded with satisfaction, his eyes brimming with pride. “Rise! From now on, you are my subordinates. Follow me as I conquer the Sixth Heaven and bring all cultivators to my feet!”“Yes, my command!” The demon souls shouted in unison, their voices shaking the Nine Nether Abyss.Immediately, more demon souls emerged from the abyss. Chapters first released on FindN0vel.netSome wielded bone staffs capable of unleashing strange curses; others were agile and moved like ghosts; still others, petite in form, could silently infiltrate cultivators and devour their souls.The black demon souls poured out continuously, soon filling the entire sky above the Nine Nether Abyss and spreading throughout the Divine Capital.By the time the one hundred thousandth demon soul had emerged from the abyss, the entire Divine Capital was shrouded in darkness.This demon soul is different from other demon souls. It exudes golden demonic energy all over its body; its eyes are deep black; its body shape is similar to that of a human, but it has a pair of huge black wings.
