Chapter 5455David knew he was no match for Soul Devourer.The only thing he could do now was escape.noveldrama“Fire Control Step!”David shouted, and the spiritual energy within him instantly erupted, a ball of golden flame appearing beneath his feet.David’s figure instantly transformed into a stream of golden light, rushing out of the palace.Soul Devourer hadn’t expected David to suddenly display such swift agility. By the time he realized what was happening, David had already rushed out of the palace.“Want to run? No way!”Soul Devourer snorted coldly, and in a flash, he chased after David.The two, one in front and one behind, swiftly shuttled through the streets of Divine Capital. Golden light and black demonic shadows intertwined on the streets, forming an eerie and beautiful scene.David used his all in Fire Control Step, reaching his maximum speed.But Soul Devourer’s speed was too great, and the distance between them steadily closed.“Boy, you can’t escape!”Soul Devourer sneered, gathering immense strength in his hands, ready to deliver a fatal blow.David glanced back at the approaching Soul Devourer, his heart filled with anxiety.He knew that if this continued, he would be caught up by Soul Devourer sooner or later.“Boy, it looks like I’m really going to disappear…”Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord’s voice echoed again within David’s consciousness, now extremely faint. “This is the last thing I can do for you…”With that, the faint wisp of soul within David’s consciousness suddenly erupted with an intense light, and then, a powerful force erupted from David’s body.“What?”Soul Devourer’s face changed. He could sense that David’s speed had suddenly increased, even surpassing his own by several degrees.It turned out that Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord, at the last moment of his disappearance, had channeled all of his remaining strength into David’s body, instantly boosting his speed.David’s figure transformed into a streak of golden lightning, instantly disappearing at the end of the street.Soul Devourer looked at the disappearing David with an unwilling look on his face: “Damn it! He got away again!”He knew it was too late to chase him now.Though the Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord’s final burst of power was formidable, it wouldn’t last long.Once it dissipated, David’s speed would return to normal.But by then, David would have vanished without a trace.“Boy, just wait!”Soul Devourer roared. “The next time I encounter you, I’ll shatter your soul!”With that, Soul Devourer turned and headed back toward the palace.He needed to quickly restore his body to its full form before seeking revenge on David.By this point, David had already fled Divine Capital City and reached the wilderness beyond.He stopped, gasping for breath. The escape had nearly exhausted him.“Senior Scarlet Cloud, are you still there?”David called out from his sea of consciousness, his heart filled with worry.However, there was silence, no response.The faint wisp of soul had vanished, leaving only a faint trace of its presence.David knew that the Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord was completely gone.In order to save him, the Demon Lord Chiyun paid the price of his own soul.“Senior, senior…”David continued to shout, trying to search in his sea of consciousness, but there was no trace of Chiyun at all.David suddenly fell to the ground. The disappearance of the Demon Lord Chiyun was a huge blow to him.He had promised the Demon Lord Chiyun that he would help him restore his body.

I haven’t restored your body yet.”“I, David, have been upright all my life and have never let anyone down, but I am sorry for you…”David burst into tears. He was really sad.
