Chapter 5717However, the Soul Devourer was, after all, a powerful figure in the Nine Heavens, and his soul body had existed for ten thousand years, so his research on the soul was unparalleled. This remnant soul was a carefully prepared backup plan.Although David reacted quickly, a very small number of soul threads, carrying insignificant memories or purely interfering information, still escaped and dissipated into the air.The main remnant soul consciousness was completely annihilated in the self-destruction, leaving only some incomplete fragments of memory.David’s divine sense quickly captured and read these fragments.The information in the fragments was very vague and chaotic, mostly about trivial matters of the Heavenly Evil Sect, as well as some promises and control methods made by the Soul Devourer to the Evil Bone Elder.The core memories about the hiding place of his main body seemed to have been set with a powerful restriction and were completely shattered when the remnant soul self-destructed.However, amidst this fragmented information, David still managed to glean a crucial piece of location information—”Netherworld…Blood Sea…Edge…Burial of Souls…”Although the information was incomplete, David recognized the name “Netherworld Blood Sea.”It was an extremely dangerous forbidden area within the Nine Heavens, located at the very edge of the lowest level. Legend had it that it was an ancient battlefield of gods and demons, a boundless sea of blood filled with endless vengeful spirits and chaotic laws, a place even Celestial Immortals were unwilling to venture into easily. The fact thatthe Soul Devouring Celestial Venerable hid his true form in such a place was consistent with his cunning and treacherous nature, his ability to exploit perilous environments.“Netherworld Blood Sea…Burial of Souls…”David murmured to himself, his eyes sharp. “It seems I must make a trip to this most dangerous place in the Nine Heavens.”At this moment, the battle below was nearing its end.The Evil Bone Elder saw the remnant soul of the Soul Devouring Celestial Venerable escape, and his last glimmer of hope vanished.With his mind clouded, the Evil God’s Dharma Form had an arm torn apart by Old Black’s ferocious “Heaven-Splitting Dragon Claw,” followed by a series of devastating blows from the fire dragon’s breath and the thunder dragon’s lightning. Finally, it let out a mournful cry of despair and vanished. Withthe Dharma Form destroyed, the Evil Bone Elder and the other elders suffered further heavy blows, spitting blood and their auras weakening to the extreme.“Surrender! We surrender!” An elder completely broke down, discarding his magical treasures and kneeling to beg for mercy. With their high-level combat power exhausted, the remaining disciples of the Heavenly Evil Sect lost their will to resist, kneeling on the ground, trembling.David landed, his gaze sweeping across the devastated battlefield littered with corpses, finally settling on the Evil Bone Elder, who was being suppressed by several dragons and whose face was ashen. “Where is the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Venerable’s true form hidden in the Netherworld Blood Sea?What lies behind ‘Soul Burial’?” David asked directly, his voice icy. The old man with the evil bones gave a bitter laugh, blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth: “Heh…heh…David, you’ve won…but you want to find the Venerable One?noveldramaDream on! The Venerable One is all-powerful and omnipotent; how could you possibly fathom his plans?” “I know nothing! Even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you!” A glint of madness and determination flashed in his eyes, clearly indicating his unwillingness to cooperate.David wasn’t surprised. Demonic giants, especially someone like the old man with the evil bones, were often fearless, or rather, they knew that surrendering meant certain death. “You will speak,”David said calmly, the Demon-Suppressing Tower reappearing in his palm, a suction force targeting the soul enveloping the old man with the evil bones. He didn’t need the old man to speak; the Demon-Suppressing Tower had the ability to refine and search souls, although the process would be slower and more painful than extracting information from a willing or powerless soul.“No! You can’t!” The old man with the evil bones felt the pain of his soul being torn apart, letting out a terrified roar, attempting to self-destruct his soul. “Suppress!” David coldly snorted, and the Demon-Suppressing Tower shone brightly, instantly suppressing all his resistance and beginning to forcibly extract and refine his divine soul, stripping away the fragments of his memories.
