Chapter 5774
Upon the throne built of piled bones, Soul Fiend, the sect leader of the Myriad Souls Demon Sect, stood like a frozen statue of a demon god.
Only the uncontrollably surging, pitch-black demonic energy around him revealed the boundless rage within him.
The demonic energy, like living tentacles, coiled around the throne’s armrests, emitting a sizzling, corrosive sound.
The armrests, forged from the hard, thousand-year-old cold ironwood and the bones of giant beasts, slowly melted under the erosion of this demonic energy, dripping a viscous black liquid.
Inside the hall, the light was dim, with only a few eerie green soul lamps flickering, illuminating the fearful faces below.
The elders of the Demon Sect stood with their hands at their sides, heads bowed, even their breathing deliberately suppressed, fearing that the slightest sound would ignite the thunderous rage of the demon god on the throne.
The air was stagnant, like millennia-old ice, so heavy that it felt as if one’s heart would stop beating.
“Black Flame Valley… a resource-rich area that my sect has cultivated for hundreds of years has been completely looted, with less than one-tenth of its treasures remaining!”
Soul Fiend’s voice finally rang out, low and hoarse, as if squeezed out from the cracks of the deepest hell, each word carrying a bone-chilling coldness and bloodlust.
“The Yin Soul Herb Garden… cultivated countless rare demonic plants, the foundation for our sect’s ‘Ten Thousand Soul Pill,’ now reduced to scorched earth, hundreds of years of hard work gone to waste!”
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes blazing with blood-red light, like two bloodthirsty crescent moons, sweeping over the silent crowd below: “And those ubiquitous attacks! Squads wiped out, strongholds destroyed, disciples in a state of panic, morale at rock bottom!”
“In such a short time, my Ten Thousand Soul Demon Sect has suffered such a humiliating disgrace! This Kai… this Ten Thousand Beasts Sect… do they really think my Soul Fiend Sect is made of clay? Do they really think the blade of my Ten Thousand Soul Demon Sect has rusted?!”
“Boom!”
Soul Fiend slammed his palm on the armrest of the throne, the entire hall trembled violently, and the already severely corroded armrest shattered into dust.
The violent demonic energy spread out from its center, forming a black shockwave. Several elders who were nearby were pushed back by the shockwave, their faces turning pale.
“This can’t go on any longer!”
Soul Fiend abruptly stood up, his tall figure casting a massive shadow in the dim light, seemingly capable of swallowing the entire hall. “Pass on my orders!”
His voice boomed like thunder, resounding in everyone’s ears.
“Assemble! Assemble all available forces of the sect! Except for those necessary to remain behind, guard the Soul Hall, and maintain the basic formations, all elders, deacons, and inner disciples above the Heavenly Immortal realm, assemble!” “I
will personally lead the charge to raze the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to the ground! I will extract Kai’s soul and refine his spirit, forever imprisoning his divine soul under the Netherworld Ghost Fire!”
“I will tear apart that old man Lietian’s bones, one by one, and grind them into powder!”
“I will ensure that the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is utterly desolate, barren and lifeless! With their blood and souls, I will rebuild the supreme prestige of my Ten Thousand Souls Demon Sect!”
A mad flame of revenge burned in Soul Fiend’s eyes, a destructive desire that would stop at nothing.
“Sect Master! Think it over!”
A senior elder, with thinning hair and a withered face, stepped forward with a trembling voice, offering his advice. “Sending out the entire sect like this will leave the sect utterly vulnerable.” ”
The situation in the Tenth Heaven is complex. There are many forces that covet our sect. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of this weakness, the consequences will be unimaginable! It would be better to plan carefully and proceed gradually…”
“No ‘ifs’! And no ‘gradually’!” Soul Fiend abruptly interrupted him, his killing intent almost tangible, causing the elder to feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, swallowing back his words.
“In the Tenth Heaven today, who doesn’t know the ferocity of the Myriad Souls Demon Sect? Who dares to easily provoke us? Those petty villains, even if they had ten times the courage, wouldn’t dare to offend our sect!”
