Chapter 5735
“Protect Mr. Chen!”
Despite his severe injuries, Old Black roared and stepped forward again, using his massive body to shield Chen Ping.
The other dragons who could still move struggled to take flight, attempting to form a final defensive line.
But without the support of the battle formation, individual dragons appeared so fragile before the Soul Devourer.
“Get out of the way!”
The Soul Devourer waved his hand casually, and a soul shockwave spread out. Several dragons that rushed forward were struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, screaming as they flew backward, their soul light dimming, clearly beyond saving.
Old Black desperately spewed out dragon breath, but it was easily neutralized by the Soul Devourer. A giant hand formed from soul power slammed heavily onto its head!
“Bang!”
Old Black’s incredibly hard skull actually cracked, and it let out a shrill cry. Its massive dragon body crashed to the ground like a meteorite, creating a deep crater, with dust billowing out, its fate unknown.
“Old Hei!!!”
Chen Ping watched helplessly as Old Hei was severely injured while protecting him. A heart-wrenching pain and overwhelming rage almost consumed him!
He hated himself! He hated his own incompetence!
He hated his own arrogance!
If he hadn’t been blindly confident and insisted on a one-on-one fight, if he hadn’t underestimated the terrifying power of the Soul Devourer, how could the situation have turned out this way?!
His previous feeling of being incredibly strong had become a complete joke in the face of this cruel reality! There
are always people stronger than you, and there are always higher levels to conquer. In the end, he paid a heavy price for his youth and arrogance!
The ghostly figure of the Soul Devourer was already close, and its chilling killing intent almost froze Chen Ping’s blood and soul.
He looked at that blurry face formed by resentment, at those ghostly green flames burning with mockery and cruelty, and his heart was filled with resentment and despair.
Was he really going to die here?
No!
He couldn’t die!
Liu Xue was still waiting for him, the Heavenly Gate had just been established, and Chi Yun had just recovered his physical body. He still had so much to do!
Driven by a survival instinct and a final unwillingness, Chen Ping squeezed out the last bit of chaotic immortal power within his body, and even began to burn his already damaged divine soul essence! The
Dragon-Slaying Sword emitted a mournful tremor, and on its blade, the five elements’ radiance, spacetime ripples, and even a trace of barely perceptible Great Luo Dao rhythm were forcibly condensed once again!
This was his final, and most insane, strike!
“Soul-devouring old dog! Come to hell with me!!!”
Chen Ping’s eyes were bloodshot, he looked like a madman, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, like a moth drawn to a flame, charging relentlessly towards the Soul-Devouring Venerable who was so close!
“A dying struggle!”
The Soul-Devouring Venerable sneered. Deep within his soul, a point of extreme darkness began to condense—the core of his primordial soul power. He intended to annihilate Chen Ping’s soul in one fell swoop!
The final collision between the two was about to erupt!
At this critical moment—
another anomaly occurred!
“Buzz—!”
The entire Burial Abyss trembled violently without warning!
It wasn’t a tremor caused by the battle, but a deeper tremor originating from the very source of this space!
A massive, horizontal crack suddenly appeared in the dark red sky above the Burial Abyss, spanning the entire field of vision! Behind the crack, instead of a dark void, lay endless, dazzling, vast, and majestic starlight!
A pure, holy pillar of starlight, imbued with supreme purification and life force, fell like a celestial river from the heavens.
Ignoring spatial distance, it instantly pierced the barrier of the Burial Abyss, striking with pinpoint accuracy the Soul Devourer’s soul body, which was about to collide with Chen Ping’s!
“Ah—!!! This is… the light of celestial purification?! No!!!”
The moment the pillar of starlight struck him, the Soul Devourer let out an unprecedented, piercing scream filled with extreme pain and fear!
His incredibly solid soul body, as if encountering its nemesis, began to violently boil, melt, and evaporate! The pain originating from the very source of his soul was a million times more intense than any physical attack!
This sudden turn of events abruptly halted Chen Ping’s charge, who was already prepared to fight to the death. He looked up in astonishment.
Gazing at the pillar of starlight that had descended from the sky, emanating a familiar yet strange aura, and at the Soul Devourer within it, howling in agony, his soul body visibly thinning, his mind went completely blank.
What… what is happening?
Who is it?
Did you step in and save them at this desperate moment?
