Chapter 5723“Next stop, Qingmu Sect, to retrieve the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood Core!”The dragon army arrived quickly and departed just as fast, leaving behind only the shaken Xuanming Sect members and their beautiful sect leader with complex emotions.There was humiliation, lingering fear, and a hint of… relief?At least, the sect was preserved, and the people were alive.In the days that followed, the entire Nine Heavens was plunged into unprecedented turmoil and panic!David led the dragon army, like an unstoppable torrent of steel, sweeping across the Nine Heavens!They visited sects, ancient cities, and secret realms one after another. Thosewith a good attitude, like the Qingmu Sect, whose sect leader, though pained, learned from the examples of the Tianxie Sect and the Xuanming Sect, obediently handed over three sections of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood Core.As promised, David did not make things difficult for them. Instead, he pointed out the flaws in their protective formation, which moved the entire Qingmu Sect to tears of gratitude. Those who wereambiguous in their attitude, tried to delay, or tried to deceive them with inferior products, such as the Baicao Pavilion, when they attempted to use a few five-thousand-year-old Nine-Turn Resurrection Grasses,were directly shattered by Lao Hei’s claw. Dragon breath scorched half of the medicinal mountain, terrifying the Baicao Pavilion Master who hastily offered up all his treasured ten-thousand-year-old Resurrection Grass flowers and stamens.Those who stubbornly resisted and vowed to die, such as the Liehun Sect, who believed in “As long as the Soul Stele stands, the sect stands,” resolutely refused to hand over their sect’s Soul Stele.Without the slightest hesitation, David directly ordered“Kill!”The dragon army surged forward like a tidal wave. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the ten-thousand-year-old Liehun Sect’s mountain gate was shattered, its disciples were almost all killed or wounded, its sect’s Soul Stele was forcibly seized, and the entire sect was reduced to scorched ruins!The news spread, utterly chilling all forces in the Nine Heavens!David’s will, accompanied by the iron hooves and raging flames of the dragon race, was branded into the hearts of every sect leader in the most domineering and bloodthirsty way! Those whonoveldramasubmit to me prosper, those who oppose me perish! This was no longer a slogan, but a bloody reality unfolding before their eyes!Countless sects opened their long-sealed treasure troves, painfully retrieving precious materials guarded for generations, hoping only to send away this demon god and preserve their sect’s legacy. Many more forces began to secretly coordinate, attempting a united resistance, but in the face of absolute power disparity, any alliance seemed laughable and fragile.David didn’t care about these undercurrents; before absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were futile. He swept through, collecting everything in his path.The Crimson Cloud Demon Lord’s Soul Fire within the Myriad Transformations Blood Soul Pearl, with the addition of a large amount of primordial soul liquid materials, grew increasingly vigorous and solidified, even beginning to emit faint life fluctuations.Meanwhile, David was also fulfilling his promise to Liu Xue. He chose an ancient blessed land called Tongtian Cliff, rumored to be one of the ancient nodes connecting to the celestial realm, rich in spiritual energy and with a treacherous terrain.He drove out a demonic force that had been entrenched there, and then ordered the many sects that had submitted to him to contribute manpower and resources to begin a massive construction project to rebuild the Heavenly Gate!He wanted to establish the most solid and glorious foundation for Liu Xue in the Nine Heavens! The entire Nine Heavens trembled, submitted, or were destroyed under David’s will.Resources flowed like rivers to the sea, converging on David and his forces. With continuous battles and ample resource supplies, the Dragon Clan army’s strength was rapidly increasing, and its momentum grew increasingly ferocious. David also sent many resources to the Yama Heavenly Sect.He knew that although Shen Zhiyan and the others had the help of the Demon Suppression Tower, which could accelerate the flow of time, it would still be difficult to recover without sufficient resources. After handling everything, David led the Dragon Clan army to the Myriad Laws Sect, the last top-tier power in the Nine Heavens to possess a statue of its founding patriarch and which had yet to declare its allegiance!The Myriad Laws Sect, hailed as the source of magic, boasts an extremely ancient lineage. Within its sect lies a white jade statue said to contain a trace of the founding patriarch’s primordial soul power, a symbol of its lineage. The Myriad Laws Sect’s strength is second only to the Heavenly Evil Sect, and significantly stronger than the Yama Heavenly Sect.
