Chapter 5423 of the Dragon King Order: Seal Released
The Soul Eater’s fingertips traced the ancient patterns on the treasure box, muttering to himself. Black demonic energy enveloped the box like a living creature, violently colliding with the golden light radiating from it.
With a hissing sound, the pages of the book automatically opened, and rows of ancient golden characters flew out of the book, condensing in the air into a giant rune, exuding a terrifying divine pressure.
“Break!”
the Soul Eater shouted furiously, pressing the sacrificial book against the boulder with his right hand.
The golden rune instantly collided with the demon-suppressing rune on the boulder. As the two forces intertwined, the entire Divine Capital shook violently, deep ravines opened in the ground, and debris fell like raindrops.
The demon-suppressing rune on the boulder began to twist and disintegrate, and the golden light was slowly swallowed by the black demonic energy.
A moment later, with a loud “bang,” the boulder collapsed, revealing the bottomless Nine Abysses beneath.
A bone-chilling cold air gushed out from the bottom of the abyss, accompanied by bursts of terrifying roars. The demon souls that had been restrained for ten thousand years were now restless.
The Soul Eater looked down at the abyss and saw a giant golden light shield suspended in the center of the Nine Nether Abyss. The light shield was covered in ancient runes. Countless black shadows collided violently within the light shield. Each collision caused the light shield to fluctuate violently, and the golden light dimmed.
“This is the seal!”
the peerless old man on the right shouted excitedly, “The ancestors of the Divine Kingdom have put in all their effort to set up this seal. As long as this seal is broken, 100,000 demon souls will be able to escape!” The Soul Eater
sneered and raised his sacrificial book again.
This time, he no longer suppressed the book’s power. Golden light radiated like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire Nine Nether Abyss.
Ancient characters from the scriptures flew out, shooting towards the golden shield like golden swords.
Each time an ancient character landed on the shield, the ancient runes on it dimmed slightly, and cracks spread.
“In the name of the Soul Devourer, with the power of the sacrificial scripture, I shall break the seal and release the devil souls!”
The Soul Devourer’s voice echoed through the Nine Nether Abyss, carrying an irresistible majesty.
As the last ancient character landed on the shield, a crisp “crack” sounded, and the golden shield instantly cracked, followed by a loud shattering sound.
An even stronger wave of cold and devilish energy erupted from the abyss. Countless black devil souls surged from the depths like a tide, roaring and charging towards the sky.
“Ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand…” The elder to the left of the two peerless elders counted the devil souls, his voice growing increasingly anxious. “Master! There are already fifty thousand devil souls! And there are still more to come!” The first devil souls
to appear were enormous, their bodies covered in bone spurs. Their eyes were like blood-red lanterns, their mouths brimming with fangs, and they radiated a suffocating killing intent.
After landing, they knelt before the Soul Devourer and spoke in a hoarse and respectful voice, “Greetings, Master!”
The Soul Devourer nodded in satisfaction, his eyes filled with pride. “Rise! From now on, you are my subordinates. Follow me to conquer the Sixth Heaven and bring all cultivators to my feet!”
“As you command!” the demon souls shouted in unison, their voices shaking the Nine Nether Abyss.
Immediately after, more and more demon souls emerged from the depths of the abyss.
Some demon souls wielded bone staffs, capable of unleashing strange curses; others were agile and swift, moving like ghosts; others were tiny, yet could silently infiltrate cultivators and devour their souls.
Black demon souls poured out endlessly, quickly filling the entire sky above the Nine Nether Abyss, then spreading throughout the Divine Capital.
When the one hundred thousandth demon soul flew out of the abyss, the entire Divine Capital was shrouded in darkness.
This demon soul was different from the others. He exuded a golden demonic aura, his eyes were pitch black, and his body resembled a human, but he had a pair of enormous black wings.
