Chapter 5453Their figures gradually vanished over the horizon, leaving behind only the Divine Capital, now occupied by demonic cultivators, and the battle still raging within.Within the palace, David wielded the Dragon Slaying Sword, his striking and powerful swordplay retaining the original domineering power of the Dragon Slaying Sword while incorporating the cryptic qualities of the demonic race.Each of his strikes carried devastating force, yet was unpredictable and impossible to defend against.Not to be outdone, the Soul Devourer was surrounded by countless black soul threads, seemingly alive, constantly attacking David.Each thread carried a powerful suction, as if to rip David’s very being from him.“Soul-devouring Silk!”A hint of fear flashed in David’s eyes. “I didn’t expect you’d even master this unholy art to this degree!”Soul-devouring Silk was Soul-devouring Venerable’s renowned skill, capable of directly attacking the enemy’s very soul, possessing an extremely sinister and tyrannical power.Back in the Ninth Heaven, countless cultivators perished under its influence.“Hmph, do you think you’re the only one making progress?”Soul-devouring Venerable sneered. “Although I’ve been trapped in this Sixth Heaven all these years, I haven’t been idle either!”Countless Soul-devouring Silk threads attacked David, each one carrying a deadly threat.Not willing to take any chances, David quickly channeled his demonic energy and spiritual power, forming a protective shield around him.“Dang, dang, dang!”The Soul-devouring Silk threads repeatedly struck the shield, emitting crisp clinking sounds.The shield trembled violently, threatening to be breached at any moment.David gritted his teeth, pouring his inner strength into the shield.He knew that once the shield was breached, these soul-devouring threads would instantly rip his soul from his body, killing him and the body he inhabited.“Chi Yun, you’re putting up a futile resistance!” Get full chapters from fιɴdnοvel.netSoul Devourer sneered. “You’re no match for me. Just surrender! I might consider sparing you a wisp of soul!”“Surrender?”David said disdainfully, “Do you think I, Chi Yun, am the kind of person who cowardly seeks life and dies? Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!” With that, David suddenly increased his demonicenergy output, and the protective shield instantly solidified.Then, wielding the Dragon Slaying Sword, he charged towards the Soul Devourer. The black demonic energy on the sword surged, forming a massive black sword aura.“You’re looking for death!”The Soul Devourer snorted coldly, forming hand seals. Countless soul-devouring threads converged, forming a massive black ghost claw that clawed at David.“Bang!”noveldramaThe black sword energy and the ghost claw collided, generating a massive shockwave.The entire palace trembled violently, tiles fell from the roof, and deep cracks appeared in the walls.David was shaken back several steps, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.He could feel his strength rapidly depleting. After all, he was only a wisp of soul, his potential was limited. A prolonged, high-intensity battle would be a huge burden for him.Soul Devourer wasn’t feeling well either. Although his body had solidified by nearly 80%, it hadn’t fully recovered.Fighting against an opponent like Demon Lord Scarlet Cloud was a significant drain on him.“Chiyun, do you think you can stop me like this?”Soul Devourer sneered. “You’re too naive!”With that, Soul Devourer suddenly opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of black demonic blood.The demonic blood transformed into a bloody mist in the air, instantly enveloping the entire palace.Countless shrill screams rang out within the bloody mist, as if countless wronged souls were struggling within.“Blood Soul Curse!”David’s face changed, a flicker of fear in his eyes. “You’ve even practiced this forbidden technique!”The Blood Soul Curse is an extremely sinister forbidden technique that requires one’s own blood and the souls of countless dead souls to cast.
