David reached out and gestured, and the ball of jade marrow essence obediently flew up and landed in the cold jade bottle he had prepared beforehand.
As the chalcedony milk water left the pool, droplets of chalcedony milk water from the peaks of the surrounding nine stalagmites simultaneously fell and flowed into the pool. The pool water was replenished at a speed visible to the naked eye, only the light of the setting sun was slightly dim. The spiritual treasures of heaven and earth are obtained in the right way and their sources will never run out.
“It’s finished.”
David breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn’t hold on any longer. He staggered back and was supported by Huo Ling’er.
As the Red Cloud Demon Lord stared at the cold jade bottle, a wave of joy finally appeared in his eyes, which had been calm for thousands of years.
He opened his mouth, but only managed to say one sentence: “Young man, this request”
“Senior, saving your partner is the top priority.”
David smiled weakly and handed over the jade bottle. “We need to leave the Earth’s Core Abyss immediately. Even though the Soul Eater has been defeated and escaped, this place isn’t safe to stay in for too long.”
Red Cloud Demon Lord nodded firmly and carefully put away the jade bottle.
The three returned along the same path, and because their formation had split up, the journey went much smoother.
Two hours later, they finally saw back the entrance to the Demon Abyss guarded by the Earth Fire Pavilion.
As he stepped out of the Demon Abyss, David looked back at the bottomless darkness, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
The Soul Devourer fleeing to Twelfth Heaven, the shadow of the Reincarnation Gate, the threat of the Evil Path Palace all of these would face their final battle in that wider and more dangerous world.
He gripped the Dragon Slayer Sword tightly. Although the wound on his left chest was still throbbing, the Immortal Power of Chaos was gradually starting to take hold of him.
The road ahead was full of danger, but the sword was already in hand.
Then they made their way through the building.
The Twelve Heavens, with the majestic headquarters of the Evil Path Palace standing tall in the depths of the void.
The entire palace complex was built from countless black bones, with immortal lamps containing soul fire as the core hanging from the roof. Eerie green light flickered in the void, like the silent wailing of billions of dead souls.
Nine strands of grey-white reincarnation energy coiled around the palace like giant pythons reaching for the sky. Every breath caused the surrounding space rules to distort and vibrate, emitting an irresistible hum.
Deep within the main hall, a hundred-foot tall dome hung with tightly packed bone chains, each chain ending in a still-beating divine soul core.
Those were the last fragments of consciousness of mighty beings captured by the Evil Path Palace, which provided the energy to keep the palace operating amidst eternal suffering.
Currently, in the middle of the main hall.
The Soul Devourer knelt on the cold, bony surface, his six tattered wings hanging limply, their edges charred and curled, dark red demon blood dripping from the broken tips.
His left arm was severed at the shoulder, and wisps of gray sword energy swirled around the wound. This was the chaotic sword intent left behind by David, which was eating away at his demon body like maggots, preventing the wound from healing.
His aura was very weak. The once raging Soul Devouring Demon Flame had now dwindled to a dim, dark red flame and was flickering on his body. Even the pained faces on its scales, which were formed from the countless souls it had swallowed, had become blurry.
He was completely different from the arrogant and domineering figure he showed in the Earth Chasm a few days ago.
On the throne, Zhan E slowly opened his gray-white pupils.
His face was wrinkled like an ancient corpse, his skin stuck tightly to his bones, giving it an unnatural bluish-gray color.
His long, dark robe was decorated with intricate runes made from threads of reincarnation, which flickered with his breath. When he looked at the Soul Eater, an almost imperceptible flicker of amusement flashed across his pupil-less, grey-white eyes.
“Soul Devourer”
When Zhan E opened his mouth, his voice was dry and hoarse, like two pieces of withered bones rubbing against each other, every syllable contained a vibration that made people feel uncomfortable.
“It has been ten thousand years since I last saw the Soul Devouring Demon King, who once devoured millions of souls and whose ferocity shook the nine heavens. Today, he is like a wild dog, crawling in front of my palace begging for mercy.”
He slowly got up, his long robe fluttered without being blown by the wind, and the cyclic energy around him flowed like a living creature, stirring up a silent vortex in the hall.
“His arm was severed by a junior at the Immortal Lord Realm, his devil flames vanished, and he fled in a miserable state to this place”
Zhan E walked down the steps of the throne, his bone-soled shoes tapping the ground with a sharp “click” sound. “Tsk tsk, if those old fellows who died from the Soul Devouring Demonic Art ten thousand years ago saw this, even the Reincarnation Pool would laugh.”
