Chapter 5912
“Ugh!” The Soul Devourer groaned in pain.
His eyes, besides shock and anger, held a deep sense of apprehension and solemnity.
He stared intently at Kai, especially at the seemingly ordinary ancient sword in Kai’s hand and the eerie gray aura surrounding him.
“Boy…you have indeed surprised me.” The Soul Devourer’s voice deepened.
Gone was his previous rage; instead, a chilling, venomous coldness emanated from him: “I admit, I underestimated you.”
“Your power is strange, capable of fusing chaos and earth fire, and that sword…it’s no ordinary weapon either.”
“However…”
His tone shifted, his eerie green eyes flashing with madness and determination: “If you think you can defeat me, now restored to the Upper Immortal realm, with just these, you are sorely mistaken!”
“My lurking in the Earth’s Core Demon Abyss wasn’t just for healing!”
Before his words were finished, the Soul Devourer’s hands abruptly formed an extremely complex, ominous ancient demonic seal!
Simultaneously, he opened his massive maw, unleashing a series of sharp, piercing demonic howls that penetrated the very depths of the soul!
“Earth Core Demon Flame… Heed my command! Come!!!”
“Rumble—!!!”
Below, the previously slowly flowing river of dark red magma suddenly
roared and churned like an enraged primordial beast!
Then, streams of viscous, blood-red flames, emanating an aura a hundred times more terrifying than ordinary magma, surged
from the depths of the magma river as if summoned by a supreme being!
These dark red flames were none other than the Earth Core Demon Flame, feared even by powerful immortals!
They contained extreme heat, toxic earth core fire, and a chaotic, destructive will. They
could erode immortal power, corrode magical treasures, and incinerate divine souls!
At this moment, this massive amount of Earth Core Demon Flame did not attack indiscriminately.
Instead, drawn by the Soul Devouring Demon Seal, it surged towards his mangled body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!
“Sizzle…”
A teeth-grinding sound rang out.
The moment the Soul Devourer’s black and red scales came into contact with the Earth Core Demon Flame, they seemed to be activated, glowing with eerie demonic patterns.
The dark red demonic flames didn’t burn him; instead, they seemed to have found their home.
They seeped into his scales, merging with his demonic energy, and
began a terrifying fusion with his own Soul Devouring Demonic Power!
“Ugh… Ahhh!!!”
the Soul Devourer roared in agony.
His body swelled and twisted uncontrollably, his scales becoming thicker and more ferocious.
Their color changed from black and red to dark red, covered with dense, eerie patterns like flowing magma.
The damaged parts of his wings were rapidly filled and repaired by the dark red demonic flames, becoming larger and more ferocious.
Substantial dark red flames burned at their edges.
His aura soared like a rocket!
From the first rank of the Upper Immortal Realm, he broke through the mid-to-late stages of the first rank, reaching the peak of the first rank!
He even faintly touched the threshold of the second rank of the Upper Immortal Realm! Even more terrifying was the new aura emanating from him, a mixture of the insidious poison of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Art and the raging chaos of the Earth Core Demonic Flame.
That aura was filled with destruction and ominousness.
Even Huo Ling’er and the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord, merely sensing it, felt a sharp pain in their souls, their demonic arts becoming stagnant.
“Hehehe… Can you feel it? Boy!” The Soul-Devouring Venerable’s voice became hoarse and overlapping.
It was as if countless voices were speaking together, filled with manic triumph: “I, the Venerable, used the Soul-Devouring Demonic Art as a foundation, fusing it with the Earth Core Demonic Flame, nurtured for billions of years in this Earth Core Demonic Abyss.” ”
After expending great effort, I have finally created the supreme demonic path unique to me—’Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame’!”
He raised an arm that had completely turned dark red, burning with raging demonic flames, his five fingers clenched loosely.
The space in his palm was slightly distorted by the scorching demonic flames.
“This flame possesses both the Soul-Devouring Demonic Art’s ability to erode the soul and devour life force, and the Earth Core Demonic Flame’s power to incinerate all things and cause chaos and destruction!”
“It can corrode your immortal power, burn your magical treasures, and scorch your soul.”
“It will turn you into nourishment for me amidst endless pain and madness!”
“Kai, can your strange domain and Earth Fire True Flame withstand this?!”
Kai’s expression finally shifted from complete calm to a more serious one.
He could clearly sense the “Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame” emanating from the Soul-Devouring Venerable.
Its energy level and strangeness far surpassed the previous simple Soul-Devouring Demonic Power or Earth Core Demonic Flame.
This was a qualitative change, a product of the fusion of two top-tier evil powers, indeed troublesome.
But, it was only troublesome.
The flames in his eyes not only did not extinguish, but burned even more fiercely.
It wasn’t a flame of fear, but rather the excitement and fighting spirit emanating from the depths of his soul when encountering a truly worthy opponent!
“Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame?” Kai softly repeated the name.
Then, he slowly raised the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand, its tip pointing at the Soul-Devouring Lord, whose aura was overwhelming.
He licked his dry lips, a smile mixed with anticipation and coldness appearing on his face.
“Sounds pretty impressive.”
“I wonder if it’s as easy to puncture as you boasted before?”
Kai’s tone still carried that damned, maddening taunt: “Come on, old man, let me see how good your work, which you’ve been tinkering with while hiding in the magma, really is.”
“Don’t disappoint me, I hate nothing more than a bunch of weaklings who are all show and no substance.”
“You’re asking for death!!!” The Soul-Devouring Lord went completely mad, his last shred of reason crushed by Kai’s nonchalant humiliation!
His already somewhat violent mind, after fusing with the demonic flame, now had only one thought left: to tear this hateful brat in front of him to shreds!
“Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame – Ten Thousand Souls Burning the Heavens!”
He flapped his six wings wildly, transforming into a shooting star trailing a long, dark red tail of flame.
His speed was more than twice as fast as before!
Almost as soon as Kai finished speaking, he had already traversed hundreds of feet and appeared above and to Kai’s side!
This time, he didn’t engage in direct close combat.
Instead, he thrust both palms forward with a powerful push!
