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 destructive light, 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 from the ground back to the heavens! Wherever it passed, everything crumbled, and the laws of nature vanished!
The Yama Heavenly Sect’s mountain gate was reduced to utter ruins at a visible speed under this fierce battle; even the entire earth’s tectonic plates shifted and cracked!
This battle lasted a full day and night!
The sun and moon lost their light, the heavens and earth paled, and rivers flowed backward, as if the heavens themselves were about to be shattered!
Kai, Liu Xue, and all the survivors, under this earth-shattering power, were like a small boat in a raging storm, struggling to hold on, their hearts filled with helplessness. Only
then did they understand what a true peak expert was!
Finally, at dawn the next day, the sphere of destructive light expanded violently again, then exploded!
“Pfft—!”
“Pfft—!”
Two figures plummeted from the sky like meteorites, crashing onto opposite ends of the earth, each carving out a massive trench several miles long! As
the light dissipated, the two figures were revealed. Shen Zhiyan knelt at the edge of the ravine, his clothes tattered, his body covered in deep, bone-revealing wounds, especially a claw mark on his chest that nearly pierced through him.
Dark demonic energy swirled within, hindering the healing of his wounds.
His face was as pale as paper, his aura utterly weak, and the crimson gourd at his waist was riddled with cracks.
At the other end, the Soul Devourer was in a similarly miserable state. His demonic armor was mostly shattered, one arm twisted unnaturally, clearly broken.
His body was covered in marks from sword energy cuts and starlight scorching, a deep sword wound between his brows that had nearly cleaved his head open, wisps of his divine soul power escaping from it.
He coughed up black blood, his eyes still filled with madness and brutality, but now tinged with 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. Sunlight
pierced 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…
