Chapter 5438 of the Dragon Emperor’s Order: The Identity of the Soul Eater
“With such a realm, how could one forcefully break through the barrier between Sixth Heaven and Eighth Heaven? Even for a cultivator in the Human Immortal Realm, crossing the two realms requires the aid of a magic tool and carries a high risk of death.”
David propped himself up and bowed deeply to Ling Xi. His voice was hoarse but firm: “Reporting to the Fourth Palace Master, I am unwilling to take this risk. Sixth Heaven is facing a critical moment.
The Soul Devourer has seized the sacrificial ritual book and released one hundred thousand demon souls, slaughtering all living beings. The Divine Kingdom cultivators have been destroyed, the Beast Tribe has been exterminated, and even ordinary cultivators are vulnerable.
If I don’t break through, millions of lives in Sixth Heaven will be lost.”
“You intend to risk your life to ask me to save the cultivators of Sixth Heaven?” Ling Xi asked! “
Yes, and I ask the Fourth Palace Master for help in killing the Soul Devourer and saving Sixth Heaven…”
David nodded.
“Why should I save the cultivators of Sixth Heaven?” They have nothing to do with me, let alone Sixth Heaven, which is none of my business.”
Ling Xi said with a smile.
David was stunned and quickly said: “Fourth Palace Master, you are the Fourth Palace Master of the Temple, a member of the God Clan, and many cultivators of the Sixth Heaven Divine Kingdom are also members of the God Clan. You can’t watch your fellow cultivators being killed by that demon spirit, right?”
“Hahaha…” Ling Xi laughed, “There are hundreds of millions of God Clan cultivators, and I am also a God Clan cultivator with a Divine Kingdom, but we don’t have any friendship.”
“Be it the Divine Kingdom or our Temple, they are only small forces among the God Clan. Why should I risk my life to save them?”
Ling Xi’s words left David confused for a moment.
He didn’t expect it to be like this, and the Fourth Palace Master would answer like this.
Seeing David’s silence, Lingxi continued, “Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s eat and chat…”
With a wave of her hand, Lingxi ordered Yunxiu to bring out a table full of delicious dishes.
David took a look and realized that all the dishes were made with high-quality immortal herbs. Besides their taste, these dishes alone were extremely beneficial for David’s recovery.
David didn’t refuse and immediately sat down to eat. His body was in dire need of recovery.
Watching David eat, Lingxi smiled faintly. It was obvious that these dishes were prepared for him.
“Do you know how powerful the Soul Eater was before he was suppressed?”
Lingxi asked David.
David shook his head. “He must be quite impressive…”
David knew that the Soul Eater had been suppressed for ten thousand years, and even in his spirit form, his strength was terrifying. Even in the Human Immortal Realm, Wu Hao was no match for him.
Imagine how terrifying the Soul Eater’s strength was before he was suppressed, in his physical form!
Ling Xi slowly recounted the Soul Eater’s past to David!
Her fingertips lightly tapped on the white jade table, her gaze staring at the misty sky outside the hall, her tone somewhat distant.
“You weren’t wrong to call him ‘great.’ But ‘great’ wasn’t even enough to describe his strength at that time. The Soul Devourer wasn’t a native demonic cultivator of Sixth Heaven, or even an Eighth Heaven cultivator—he was once the supreme demonic lord of Ninth Heaven, capable of wielding power at will. Known as the ‘Burning Heaven Soul Devouring Demon Lord,’ he ruled over half of Ninth Heaven in ancient times.”
David’s hand, which was holding a grass leaf condensing dew, suddenly stopped, nearly dropping the Spirit Marrow Fruit into his mouth.
The supreme demonic lord of Ninth Heaven?
Although he didn’t know the specific realms of Ninth Heaven cultivators, he knew that the higher the realm, the more powerful the cultivator. A cultivator at the Human Immortal Realm in Eighth Heaven would be extremely powerful in Sixth Heaven. The power of a demonic cultivator capable of controlling half of Ninth Heaven was probably far beyond his imagination.
“Ninth Heaven… a top demonic cultivator?”
David put down his chopsticks, his voice trembling with shock. “Then why was he suppressed in the Thunder Sound Temple on Sixth Heaven? With his strength, it’s impossible for a cultivator from Sixth Heaven to trap him, right?”
