Chapter 5685“Ten Thousand Souls Devour the Heavens!”the Soul Devourer roared, a terrifying demonic form composed of billions of vengeful souls appearing behind him, its gigantic maw opening to devour the Sword River whole!“Boom!!!”The Sword River and the demonic form collided again, light and darkness eroding and annihilating each other, the explosive energy sending both of them flying backward, blood spilling from their mouths!“Your Heavenly Gate Technique, it seems, hasn’t been abandoned!” The Soul Devourer wiped away the blood, his eyes ferocious.“Killing you is enough!” Shen Zhiyan’s eyes were icy, he charged forward again, his hands forming seals, drawing upon the power of the surrounding stars, “Starfall!”In an instant, daylight appeared! Countless brilliant starlight pierced through the demonic clouds, transforming into pillars of destruction, crashing down on the Soul Devourer like a meteor shower!“Demon Devours the World!” the Soul Devourer roared, his demonic energy transforming into a bottomless vortex, frantically devouring the falling starlight!The two fought from the sky to the ground, and then back up to the heavens! Wherever they passed, everything crumbled, and the laws of nature vanished!Under this fierce battle, the Yama Heavenly Sect’s mountain gate was visibly reduced to utter ruins, and even the entire earth’s tectonic plates shifted and cracked!This battle lasted a full day and night!It extinguished the sun and moon, robbed the world of its color, and reversed the flow of rivers, as if it intended to shatter the nine heavens!David, Liu Xue, and all the survivors, under this earth-shattering power, were like a small boat in a storm, struggling to hold on, their hearts filled with helplessness.Only then did they understand what a true peak powerhouse was!Finally, at dawn on the second day, the sphere of destructive light expanded violently once more, and then exploded!“Thud—!”“Thud—!”Two figures plummeted from the sky like meteorites, crashing into the earth at opposite ends, each carving out a massive trench several miles long!Asthe light faded, the two figures were revealed.Shen Zhiyan knelt at the end of the ravine, his clothes tattered, his body covered in deep, bone-revealing wounds, especially a claw mark on his chest that almost pierced through him.Dark demonic energy swirled within, hindering the healing of his wounds.His face was as pale as paper, his aura extremely weak, and the crimson wine gourd at his waist was riddled with cracks. On thenoveldramaother end, the Soul Devourer was in an equally miserable state. Most of his demonic armor was shattered, and one arm was twisted unnaturally, clearly broken.His body was covered with marks from sword energy cuts and starlight scorching, and a deep sword wound between his brows nearly split his head open, from which wisps of divine soul power were dissipating.He coughed up black blood, his eyes still filled with madness and savagery, but more than anything, there was a deep fear and… a desire to retreat.He stared intently at Shen Zhiyan in the distance, hissing, “Shen Zhiyan… I never thought I’d be driven to this point by a piece of trash like you who was expelled from the sect… I’ll remember this grudge!When I recover, I’ll tear your soul out and refine it, ensuring you’re never reincarnated!”With that, he violently tore apart the unstable space around him, transforming into a streak of black light and disappearing into it!Only his venomous threat echoed above the ruins.The Soul Devourer… escaped!Shen Zhiyan looked in the direction the Soul Devourer had vanished, trying to get up and give chase, but he coughed up another mouthful of blood, swayed, and finally collapsed weakly to the ground.His injuries were far too severe.The destructive energy aftershocks slowly subsided, leaving only a ravaged land and a group of survivors, still shaken. Sunlightpierced through the dissipating demonic clouds, shining once more upon the ruins, but bringing no warmth, only the coldness and bewilderment of those who had survived the catastrophe.This battle resulted in mutual destruction…
