Chapter 5838
“Not good!”
The Soul Devourer’s pupils shrank sharply, hastily condensing layers upon layers of Soul Devouring Demon Shields and protective soul light.
“Boom—!!!”
The fist energy slammed heavily onto the demon shields!
The demon shields shattered layer by layer, and the soul light rippled violently! The Soul Devourer groaned, his body flying hundreds of feet backward before barely stabilizing himself, a trickle of black demonic blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his aura slightly disordered!
His gaze towards Kai was filled with extreme shock, apprehension, and… a trace of indescribable fear!
This kid… how could his strength have increased so much after breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm?!
The level of power contained in this fist energy was actually subtly threatening his current state!
Moreover, that ancient and noble bloodline pressure made him very uncomfortable!
Kai slowly stood up from the deep pit, his injuries had mostly healed, and beneath his tattered blue robe, his newly formed skin was as smooth as jade, with faint dragon scale patterns and the luster of chaotic flames flowing through it.
He cracked his neck, producing a soft “crack,” and his golden vertical pupils coldly locked onto the Soul Devourer.
“Old Demon, now… it’s my turn.”
His words were calm, yet contained a chilling killing intent and confidence more intense than ever before.
The Soul Devourer’s face was extremely grim.
He glanced at Kai, whose aura was stabilizing and rising at an astonishing speed, and then felt the still-unsettled demonic energy within his body and the faint tremor deep within his soul caused by Kai’s dragon might.
Should he continue fighting?
In his current state, facing this newly broken-through, imposing young man with a strange dragon might and the seed of chaotic fire, the outcome was uncertain, and he might even suffer an unexpected defeat!
He was the Soul Devourer, an old demon who had lived for countless years; assessing the situation and avoiding harm had long been instinctive for him.
“Boy…consider yourself lucky!”
Soul Devourer spat out the words through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and venom. “I never expected you to possess such bloodline…and even break through in the heat of battle! I will remember this humiliation!”
He turned sharply and shouted at the still stunned Soul Fiend and the others in the distance: “Retreat! All of you retreat to the depths of the main altar! Activate the final defense!”
With that, he didn’t linger for a moment. His figure transformed into a pitch-black soul shadow, tearing through space and fleeing towards the higher level of the eleventh heaven of the void!
He had chosen to retreat temporarily without hesitation, heading to a higher level of the world!
Clearly, he had judged that in the tenth heaven, facing Kai, who had just broken through and was at the height of his power, he had no absolute confidence and might even be killed by Kai using the momentum of his breakthrough!
It was better to temporarily avoid the limelight and go to the eleventh heaven, where resources were richer and more suitable for his full recovery. Once his strength was fully restored or even improved, he could come back to settle accounts with Kai!
Kai watched Soul Devourer’s decisive escape but did not immediately pursue him. He had just broken through, and his realm still needed to be stabilized; his power also needed time to adapt.
Moreover, the situation in the Eleventh Heaven was unclear, and it would be unwise to rashly pursue them.
His gaze slowly swept over the Myriad Souls Demon Sect disciples below, who were utterly plunged into chaos and despair due to the defeat of the Soul Devourer and the panic of their sect leader, Soul Fiend.
“The old demon has escaped.”
Kai’s voice, like the pronouncement of death, resounded in the ears of every Demon Sect disciple. “Then… you will bear my wrath in his place.”
What followed was a one-sided, bloody massacre and purge for the Myriad Souls Demon Sect.
Having broken through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, Kai’s strength underwent a qualitative leap.
Facing these remnants of the Demonic Sect, whose highest ranks were only at the sixth or seventh grade of the Celestial Immortal Realm and whose morale had long since collapsed, he was like a tiger among sheep.
His Chaotic Dragon Flame Fist was invincible, and every swing of the Dragon-Slaying Sword claimed countless lives. The Chaotic True Fire turned demonic buildings and restrictions into a sea of flames.
He showed no mercy.
For this demonic sect that had repeatedly plotted against him, slaughtered the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, besieged the Xuan Tian Sword Sect, and colluded with the Soul Devouring Venerable, only complete destruction could console the dead and rid the Ten Heavens of a malignant tumor.
Hun Sha attempted to lead his last remaining confidants in a desperate resistance, relying on the ancient restrictions deep within the main altar. However, under Kai’s terrifying attack, which combined the power of the True Dragon with the Chaotic Flame, all defenses were as fragile as paper.
In the end, Hun Sha was personally slain by Kai’s sword, his soul completely incinerated and purified by the Chaotic True Fire, his body and soul annihilated.
When the last remaining elder of the Demonic Sect fell amidst the ruins, the entire headquarters of the Myriad Souls Demonic Sect had been reduced to a desolate wasteland.
Thick smoke billowed, flames still raged, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and acrid burning; there was no trace of life left.
Kai stood in the center of the ruins, his divine sense sweeping across the entire Demonic Sect site.
He began methodically collecting his spoils—mountains of spirit stones and magic crystals; various high-grade demonic materials and ores; and
most importantly, the Myriad Souls Demonic Sect’s treasure trove accumulated over millennia!
He plundered all valuable resources, regardless of whether they were from the demonic or righteous path, storing them in his storage ring.
These resources would be crucial for stabilizing his realm, further enhancing his strength, and even venturing into higher worlds.
Having done all this, Kai gazed at the distant horizon.
Heavenly Fire Sword Venerable Ling Yan had already departed, his whereabouts unknown.
Fire Spirit Star Lord and Blazing Fire Demon Lord had also fought in other worlds, the outcome unknown.
The grudges of the Tenth Heaven were temporarily resolved.
Soul Devouring Venerable had fled to the Eleventh Heaven, becoming a new threat and target.
Kai took a deep breath, feeling the new power surging within him, the power belonging to the Celestial Immortal Realm, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination.
“Eleventh Heaven… Soul Devouring Venerable… Chaotic Origin Fire… I’m here.”
He didn’t linger, transforming into a chaotic dragon shadow, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon of the Tenth Heaven.
He needed to find a safe place to thoroughly consolidate his Celestial Immortal Realm cultivation, digest what he had gained, and then… plan his journey to that higher, wider world!
Just as Kai left, a figure appeared.
“Hmm, this should be it. I sensed his aura, but where did he go?”
Looking at the ruins of the Myriad Souls Demon Sect, the newcomer frowned slightly.
When he turned around, a somewhat weathered face was revealed; it was the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord.
He had come to the Tenth Heaven to find Kai.
He had just sensed Kai’s aura, but upon arriving, he found that Kai had already left.
