Chapter 5037

Kai was momentarily stunned, then quickly changed his expression and smiled at the little Sky-Swallowing Beast. “Brother Swallowing Beast, please lend a hand and devour all these demons for me!”

To his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, the Sky-Swallowing Beast actually opened its enormous mouth—wide enough to consume mountains—and began inhaling the skeleton soldiers scattered across the sky!

“Whoosh—”

A terrifying suction force formed a swirling black vortex, pulling in tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers.

They didn’t even have time to struggle before being swallowed into that abyss-like maw.

Even more astonishing, the immortal curse that had kept the skeleton soldiers alive was completely dissolved inside the beast’s belly, leaving no trace and preventing any chance of reformation.

With the addition of the Fire Kirin and the Sky-Swallowing Beast, the tide of battle turned instantly.

The little Fire Kirin, bolstered by the arrival of an ally, roared with renewed energy, and the flames on its body surged once more. It worked in perfect harmony with the Sky-Swallowing Beast—

The Fire Kirin burned through the demon soldiers on the ground, while the Swallowing Beast devoured the skeletal army in the air.

“It’s time to strike back!” Kai gritted his teeth against the pain and raised the Dragon Slaying Sword. “Follow me into battle!”

“Kill!”

With Kai’s rallying cry, the monks of Cangxuan Continent reignited their fighting spirit.

They regrouped into a new battle formation and launched a desperate counterattack against the demon army.

In the sky, sword energy clashed with demonic energy, and magical weapons blazed through falling blood rain.

Kai weaved through the chaos, every swing of his sword claiming the lives of multiple demon soldiers.

His clothes were soaked in blood, but his eyes burned with fierceness—as if he were a god of war risen from the abyss.

The brutal battle raged on for three days and three nights.

When the final demon soldier fell, the first rays of morning sunlight finally pierced through the dark clouds, casting golden light across the scarred and battered land.

Cangxuan Continent had been saved once more!

Lan Lianhua was filled with gratitude for Kai. If not for him, Cangxuan Continent would’ve been destroyed long ago—especially during the Eight Palaces’ assault.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you so much. It’s just a shame that we have no resources left in Cangxuan Continent,” Lan Lianhua said apologetically upon seeing Kai’s weakened state.

“It’s nothing. I just need a few days of rest to recover fully,” Kai replied with a faint smile.

With the Demon Suppression Tower, Kai only needed to enter and cultivate for a few hours to quickly regain his strength.

After arranging everything, Kai brought Hu Mazi into the Demon Suppression Tower.

Hu Mazi had also exhausted a great deal of energy during the battle.

The two of them stayed in the tower for one day and emerged completely rejuvenated, their energy fully restored!

Lan Lianhua was astonished when she saw Kai again.

Mo Qingyun, however, was not surprised—she had experienced the tower’s power before and knew how extraordinary it was.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, you’ve fully recovered in just one day? That’s incredible,” Lan Lianhua exclaimed, eyes filled with disbelief.

Kai simply smiled and then asked, “Xuan Nu, may I ask—how did the floating island above Cangxuan Continent come to be?”

Lan Lianhua shook her head. “I don’t know either. When I took charge of Cangxuan Continent, the floating island was already there. It’s been around for countless years—so long that no one remembers when it first appeared.”

“Do you like the floating island’s environment, Fellow Daoist Chen? If you wish to live there permanently, you’re more than welcome. You are a great benefactor to Cangxuan Continent—no one would object if you made it your home.”

“Oh no, not at all—I’m just curious, not looking to settle there,” Kai said, waving his hands quickly.

He was only interested in exploring the floating island. If it truly turned out to be a remnant of an ancient civilization, he could strike it rich!

However, it seemed the people of Cangxuan Continent were unaware of the island’s true nature. For now, it was just a hunch. The Chiyun Demon Lord had called it a relic, and that made it worth investigating.

Just then, a cultivator rushed over and reported to Lan Lianhua, “Xuan Nu, Huo Jingjing is refusing to eat. She’s threatening a hunger strike…”
