Chapter 5719
Kai stared at the blood-red bead in his hand, devoid of any aura, his brows furrowing slightly.
With his current cultivation level and the strength of his divine sense, even the highest-level treasures would be difficult to detect.
Yet this bead was as silent as the most ordinary pebble in the mortal world, which in itself was extremely unusual.
“The Heavenly Evil Sect hid you in such a secluded place; you are definitely not an ordinary object… What secrets do you hold?”
Kai murmured to himself, trying to slowly inject a wisp of chaotic immortal power into it.
However, the immortal power was like a mud ox entering the sea; the blood bead showed no reaction.
He then tried to bind it to his own blood; the blood fell on the bead and was instantly absorbed, but the bead remained dormant.
Just as Kai was considering whether to use a more radical method, such as forcibly splitting it open with the Dragon-Slaying Sword, a sudden change occurred!
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Great Luo Golden Scripture, which had been quietly suspended and exuding a hazy Daoist charm, seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, and suddenly shone with golden light!
“Buzz—!”
A pure and vast golden light uncontrollably emanated from Kai’s forehead, a tangible pillar of light that instantly enveloped the blood-red bead in his hand!
This golden light seemed to contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, the origin of the universe, carrying a supreme majesty and purifying power.
The blood bead, enveloped by the golden light, could no longer remain silent!
“Ah—!”
A shrill, piercing scream, filled with endless resentment and an ancient aura, suddenly erupted from within the blood bead!
This sound did not travel through the air but acted directly on the soul, causing Old Black and the other dragons, who were counting their spoils nearby, to turn around in horror.
The blood bead, which had been lifeless, was now violently churning like a boiling sea of blood under the pressure of the golden light.
A solid, blood-red soul shadow, far more powerful and ancient than the remnant soul of the Soul Devouring Celestial Venerable, was forcibly forced out from within the bead!
This ghostly figure was a dark red color, its face blurred but its ferocity and madness still faintly visible, emanating a boundless evil aura and a savage, ancient malevolent energy!
“Who? Who has disturbed my slumber? How dare you desecrate my sacred soul with such power!” The crimson soul shadow roared angrily, attempting to resist the binding force of the golden light.
Its soul power fluctuations were extremely strong, reaching the Heavenly Venerable realm, and it exuded a profound sense of age and weight!
“The Heavenly Evil Sect Ancestor?”
Kai’s gaze sharpened, instantly recognizing the remnant soul’s identity.
He hadn’t expected such an old monster to be hidden within the Heavenly Evil Sect!
It seemed this blood bead was a vessel for nurturing such an ancient remnant soul!
The Heavenly Evil Sect Ancestor’s remnant soul struggled, its scarlet eyes instantly locking onto Kai, the closest person, bursting forth with extreme greed and ecstasy.
“What a perfect body! What boundless blood and qi! What a young soul! Hahaha! Heaven hasn’t forsaken me! Boy, this body of yours, I’ll gladly accept!”
It completely ignored the source of the golden light that instinctively terrified it, perhaps due to its long slumber, or perhaps its extreme yearning for rebirth.
It transformed into a crimson lightning bolt, rushing directly towards Kai’s brow and sea of consciousness, attempting to forcibly seize his body!
“You’re courting death!”
Kai snorted coldly, not stopping him, but instead releasing the defenses of his sea of consciousness.
He wanted to see what kind of waves this old ghost, who had lived for who knows how long, could stir up in his home turf!
The blood-red soul shadow rushed into Kai’s sea of consciousness without any hindrance.
It had thought it would face a fragile soul that it could easily manipulate, and was prepared to enjoy the pleasure of devouring and occupying it.
However, when it truly entered this vast and boundless sea of consciousness, what it saw was not Kai’s soul, but the Great Luo Golden Scripture floating in the center of the sea of consciousness, radiating boundless golden light, as if it had existed since ancient times and suppressed all the heavens and myriad worlds!
The Golden Scripture slowly rotated, and strands of golden light, like chains of divine order, permeated the entire sea of consciousness.
