Chapter 5436

“Is this… the Eighth Heaven?”

Kai wanted to get up, but found that his whole body was in great pain. The slightest movement would involve his wounds, causing him to grimace in pain.

He looked down at his body. The wounds were still bleeding, but his meridians were severely damaged and his spiritual power was almost gone. It was difficult for him to even maintain the first level of cultivation in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

“Fortunately… I made it to the eighth heaven alive…”

Kai breathed a sigh of relief. He struggled to stretch out his hand, wanting to pick up the Dragon Slaying Sword beside him, but found that he didn’t even have the strength to raise his hand.

He could only lie on the grass, gasping for breath and recovering his strength.

He knew that now was not the time to relax.

Although he had reached the Eighth Heaven, he still didn’t know where the Palace of the God King was. Moreover, in his current state, if he encountered a cultivator from the Eighth Heaven or any danger, he would have no power to resist.

“We must recover our strength as soon as possible and find the Palace of the God King…”

Kai closed his eyes and began to circulate the remaining spiritual power in his body, slowly repairing the damaged meridians.

The spiritual energy in the eighth heaven is extremely rich and is very helpful to his recovery.

But even so, it will take some time to get back to peak form.

Just as Kai was concentrating on recovering, footsteps were heard in the distance.

His heart tightened and he quickly opened his eyes, looking vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

He saw several monks in golden armor walking towards him. They were surrounded by a sacred aura, holding spears in their hands and with sharp eyes. They were obviously monks from the eighth heaven.

“Who are you? Why are you here?” The leading monk walked up to Kai, looked down at him, his eyes full of vigilance.

Kai knew that these were the first group of people he met in the Eighth Heaven, and they were also his hope for finding the Palace of the God King.

He endured the pain and spoke with difficulty, “I… I am a cultivator from the Sixth Heaven… I want to find the Divine King Palace. I wonder if you fellow Taoists know where it is?”

The leading golden-armored cultivator’s eyes suddenly narrowed upon hearing the words “Sixth Heaven” and “God King Palace.” He leaned his spear forward slightly, and his tone became even more vigilant. “Sixth Heaven? Now that the Sixth Heaven has been shrouded in demonic energy and turned into a demonic prison, how could you appear alone in the Eighth Heaven? You look severely injured, and your spiritual energy is disordered. Could you be a spy sent by the demonic cultivators?”

The other golden-armored guards immediately surrounded him, their spears pointed at Kai’s vital points, and their sacred spiritual power locked onto his breath like a sharp edge.

Kai, enduring the severe pain, raised his hand with difficulty, revealing the golden lines of dragon blood on his palm: “I am definitely not a spy… I am Kai, and I risked my life to break through the boundary to seek reinforcements.

Millions of lives in the Sixth Heaven are being slaughtered by demonic cultivators, and the cultivators of the Divine Kingdom are almost wiped out. Only the Divine King Palace can save the Sixth Heaven from disaster.”

The golden lines glow with a warm luster in the sunlight, faintly resonating with the sacred aura of the Eighth Heaven.

Seeing this, the golden armored guards’ eyes became less vigilant – the dragon bloodline was pure and upright, and could never be forged by a demon cultivator. Moreover, although the cultivator in front of them was seriously injured and dying, his eyes were clear and firm, without any evil spirit.

The leading golden-armored guard pondered for a moment, then instructed the person beside him, “Return to the palace immediately and report that a sixth-level cultivator with dragon blood has been seriously injured and has broken through the realm, seeking to see the Fourth Palace Master. The rest of you, keep an eye on him. If he makes any unusual movements, arrest him immediately!”

After receiving the order, the golden-armored guard’s feet flashed with light and turned into a golden stream of light and flew towards the distance.

The remaining men put away their spears but remained on guard. One of them handed over a bottle of elixir, “This is the ‘Qingling Pill,’ it can temporarily stabilize your injuries. Take it first. Whether the Fourth Palace Master is willing to see you or not, we’ll have to wait for news.”

Kai took the pill, nodded gratefully, and put the pill into his mouth tremblingly.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a cool spiritual power slid down his throat into his body. Although it could not repair the damaged meridians, it barely suppressed the worsening of the injury and made his breathing a little smoother.
