Chapter 5717

However, 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 Kai 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.

Kai’s divine sense quickly captured and read these fragments.

The information in the fragments was very vague and chaotic, mostly about some 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 memory about the hiding place of his main body seemed to have been set with a powerful restriction and was completely shattered when the remnant soul self-destructed.

However, in these fragmented pieces of information, Kai still captured a key fragment of a place name—”Netherworld…Blood Sea…Edge…Burial of Souls…”

Although the information was incomplete, Kai knew the name “Netherworld Blood Sea”.

That was an extremely dangerous forbidden area in the Nine Heavens, located on the very edge of the lowest level. Legend has it that it was an ancient battlefield of gods and demons, a boundless sea of ​​blood filled with endless vengeful spirits and chaotic laws. Even Celestial Immortals were unwilling to venture there easily. The fact that

the 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… Soul Burial…”

Kai 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.

Seeing the remnant soul of the Soul Devouring Celestial Venerable escape, the Evil Bone Elder’s last hope vanished.

His mind lost, his Evil God Dharma Form had an arm torn apart by Old Black’s ferocious “Heaven-Splitting Dragon Claw,” followed by a series of severe blows from the fire dragon’s breath and the thunder dragon’s lightning. Finally, with a mournful cry of unwillingness, it dissipated with a deafening roar.

With their magical forms shattered, the Evil Bone Elder and the elders suffered another severe blow, spitting out blood and their auras weakening to the extreme.

“We surrender! We surrender!”

One of the elders completely broke down, discarding his magical artifacts and kneeling to beg for mercy.　　With their high-ranking combat power completely lost, the remaining disciples of the Heavenly Evil Sect also lost their will to resist, kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Kai landed, his gaze sweeping across the chaotic 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’s behind ‘Soul Burial’?”

Kai asked directly, his voice icy.

The Evil Bone Elder gave a bitter laugh, blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth: “Heh…heh…Kai, you’ve won…but you want to find the Venerable One? Dream 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.

Kai was not surprised; demonic giants, especially someone like the Evil Bone Elder, were often fearless of death, or rather, they knew that surrender was a dead end.

“You will speak,”

Kai said calmly. The Demon-Suppressing Tower reappeared in his palm, a suction force targeting the soul enveloping the Evil Bone Elder.

He didn’t need the Evil Bone Elder to speak; the Demon-Suppressing Tower possessed the ability to refine and search souls, though the process would be slower and more painful than extracting information from a willing or powerless soul.

“No! You can’t!”

The Evil Bone Elder felt the pain of his soul being torn apart, letting out a terrified roar, attempting to self-destruct his soul.

“Suppress!”

Kai snorted coldly, the Demon-Suppressing Tower shining brightly, instantly suppressing all his resistance, and began forcibly extracting and refining his soul, stripping away fragments of his memories.
