Chapter 5723
“Next stop, Qingmu Sect, to retrieve the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood Core!”
The dragon army arrived quickly and departed just as fast, leaving behind only the shaken Xuanming Sect members and their beautiful sect leader with complex emotions.
There was humiliation, lingering fear, and a hint of… relief?
At least, the sect was saved, and the people were alive.
In the days that followed, the entire Nine Heavens was plunged into unprecedented turmoil and panic!
Kai led the dragon army like an unstoppable torrent of steel, sweeping across the Nine Heavens!
They visited sects, ancient cities, and secret realms one after another. Those
with a good attitude, like the Qingmu Sect, whose sect leader, though pained, learned from the mistakes of the Tianxie Sect and the Xuanming Sect, obediently handed over three sections of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood Core.
Kai indeed kept his promise and did not make things difficult. Instead, he pointed out the flaws in their sect’s protective formation, making the entire Qingmu Sect extremely grateful.
Those who were ambiguous in their attitude, tried to delay, or tried to deceive with inferior products, like the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, when they attempted to use a few five-thousand-year-old Nine-Turn Resurrection Grasses,
were directly shattered by Old Black’s claw. His dragon breath scorched half of the medicinal mountain, terrifying the Hundred Herbs Pavilion Master who hastily offered up all his treasured ten-thousand-year-old Resurrection Grass flowers and stamens.
Those who stubbornly resisted, like the Fierce Soul Sect who believed “As long as the Soul Stele stands, the sect stands,” resolutely refused to hand over their sect’s Soul Stele.
Kai did not hesitate for a moment, directly ordering—
“Kill!”
The dragon army surged forward like a tidal wave. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the ten-thousand-year-old Fierce Soul Sect’s mountain gate was shattered, its disciples were almost all killed or wounded, its sect’s Soul Stele was forcibly seized, and the entire sect was reduced to scorched ruins! When
the news spread, all the forces in the Nine Heavens were utterly terrified!
Kai’s will, accompanied by the iron hooves and raging flames of the dragon race, was imprinted on the hearts of every sect leader in the most domineering and bloody way!
Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish!
This is no longer a slogan, but a bloody reality that is unfolding! Countless sects opened their long-sealed treasure troves, reluctantly retrieving precious materials guarded for generations, hoping only to send away this demon and preserve their sect’s legacy.
Many more forces secretly began to coordinate, attempting a united resistance, but faced with an absolute disparity in power, any alliance seemed laughable and fragile.
Kai paid no heed to these undercurrents; before absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were futile.
He swept through, collecting everything in his path.
The Crimson Cloud Demon Lord’s Soul Fire within the Myriad Transformations Blood Soul Pearl grew increasingly vigorous and solidified with the infusion of numerous primordial soul liquid materials, even beginning to emit faint life fluctuations.
Simultaneously, Kai was fulfilling his promise to Liu Xue.
He chose an ancient blessed land called Tongtian Cliff, rumored to be one of the ancient nodes connecting to the celestial realm, incredibly rich in spiritual energy and possessing a treacherous terrain.
He drove out a demonic force entrenched there, then ordered the numerous sects that had submitted to contribute manpower and resources to begin a massive reconstruction of the Heavenly Gate!
He wanted to establish the most solid and glorious foundation for Liu Xue in the Nine Heavens!
The entire Nine Heavens trembled, submitted, or were destroyed under Kai’s will.
Resources flowed like rivers to the sea, converging on Kai and his forces.
With continuous battles and ample resource supplies, the Dragon Clan army’s strength rapidly increased, its momentum growing ever more ferocious.
Kai also sent a large amount of resources to the Yama Heavenly Sect. He knew that although Shen Zhiyan and his group had the help of the Demon Suppression Tower, which could accelerate the flow of time, they still couldn’t recover without sufficient resources.
After handling all this, Kai led the Dragon Clan army to the Wanfa Sect, the last top-tier force in the Nine Heavens possessing a statue of its founding patriarch and yet to declare its allegiance!
The Wanfa Sect, known as the source of magic, boasted an extremely ancient lineage. Within its sect was a white jade statue said to contain a trace of the founding patriarch’s primordial soul power, a symbol of its lineage.
The Wanfa Sect’s strength was second only to the Heavenly Evil Sect, and significantly stronger than the Yama Heavenly Sect.
