Chapter 5443 of the Dragon Emperor’s Order: Revenge, Revenge
After the warship landed, David helped Ling Xi off the deck. Wu Hao was the first to greet them. Seeing the divine aura surrounding Ling Xi and the four terrifying divine guards, he immediately bowed and saluted. “Wu Hao of the Divine Kingdom greets the Fourth Palace Master! Thank you for your righteous actions in saving the Sixth Heaven from disaster!”
“Fourth Palace Master!”
Daoist Wuji, Zi Yuan, Ling Yue, and the others also stepped forward to greet him, their eyes filled with excitement and admiration.
They never imagined David would actually be able to invite the Palace Master of the Divine King Palace, let alone bring such a powerful team.
Zi Yuan immediately approached David, examining him up and down, her eyes slightly red. “I’m glad you’re alright. We were so worried.”
David smiled and patted his hand. “With the Fourth Palace Master’s help, what could have happened to me?”
Ling Xi raised her hand, motioning for everyone to stand. She said calmly, “Enough small talk. Where is the Soul Eater now?”
Wu Hao immediately replied, “Palace Master, the Soul Eater has occupied the Divine Capital and is plundering resources to restore its peak strength.”
“Then let’s head straight for Huanglong.”
Ling Xi had just finished speaking when she turned around and boarded the warship. “Wu Hao, gather all the surviving cultivators and follow me to the Divine Capital.”
“Yes!”
Wu Hao was overjoyed and immediately sent a message to the scattered survivors.
Within a day, the remaining Sixth Heaven cultivators arrived one after another.
Although few in number, the surviving cultivators numbered tens of thousands, but each one was burning with rage for revenge.
As the tens of thousands of cultivators boarded the warship, it suddenly expanded. As they
marched towards the Divine Capital under the protection of three hundred golden-armored guards, a glimmer of hope seemed to appear in the dark sky.
The warships pierced through the layers of demonic energy, slaughtering any demonic cultivators they encountered along the way by the Four Directions Divine Guards, allowing them to sail unimpeded.
Standing at the bow, David gazed at the slowly disappearing outline of Divine Capital City below. From the city, a dark aura soared into the sky, and faint, shrill wails could be heard.
He gripped the Dragon Slaying Sword tightly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Ling Xi approached him and said calmly, “When the battle begins, the Golden Armored Guards will hold back the demonic cultivator army, while the Four Directions Divine Guards will follow me to deal with the Soul Devourers. You and your troops will finish off the remaining demonic cultivators.”
David nodded, understanding that Ling Xi was protecting them.
He turned to Zi Yuan, Ling Yue, and the others beside him and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, today is the day we reclaim Sixth Heaven and avenge those who fell!”
“Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!”
On the warship, tens of thousands of cultivators roared in unison, their voices piercing the sky, drowning out the wailing of the city, and echoing in Sixth Heaven for a long time.
Like a sharp sword, the golden warship pierced through the demonic energy, speeding towards the Divine Capital, where the demonic cultivators lived.
Above the Divine Capital, a black aura swirled, resembling a giant black dragon circling in the sky.
The heads of the cultivators that once hung atop the city walls had vanished, replaced by black runes that shimmered with a terrifying light, enveloping the entire city in a gloomy and eerie atmosphere.
Within the city, the once-bustling streets were now deserted, except for the occasional screams and wild laughter of the demonic cultivators.
The buildings lining the streets had long since been eroded by the demonic energy, leaving them dilapidated. Black cracks covered the walls, threatening to collapse at any moment.
Inside the imperial palace, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.
In the center of the great hall, the Soul Devourer hovered in the air, enveloped in countless black soul threads. These threads connected to thousands of black soul jars placed around the hall.
Within the soul jars, countless white soul lights flickered continuously, emitting shrill wails. These were the souls of the cultivators captured by the demonic cultivators.
The Soul Eater’s originally ethereal and transparent soul had now become much denser. Although still in soul form, its face could now be clearly seen.
