However, the power contained in that palm strike was enough to level a mountain.
David didn’t shy away.
He raised his right hand and countered the attack with a palm strike.
The purple chaotic power collided with the black chaotic devil energy.
There was no explosion, no loud noise, just a quiet hum.
The two powers intertwined, devoured, and fused between their palms.
Purple and black light intertwined, like two giant dragons locked in battle. The surrounding space began to distort, and the air emitted ear-piercing screams.
The devil cultivators in the palace turned pale and retreated hastily.
A full attack from a rank seven True God was enough to raze this palace to the ground.
But David actually managed to block it. With his cultivation at the peak of the eighth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm, he actually blocked a full attack from the seventh rank of the True Immortal Realm.
Ying Wuji’s eyes lit up.
“Good!” he shouted, pulling his hand away.
David withdrew his hand, his expression remaining calm.
But his right hand was shaking slightly. Ying Wuji’s strength was indeed very strong. If not for the power of chaos restraining all other powers, he might not have been able to withstand this palm strike.
Ying Wuji looked at him and remained silent for a long time.
Then he smiled.
This time, the smile was no longer a playful smile, but a sincere expression of appreciation.
“David, you are stronger than rumored.” He turned and walked back to the high platform, then sat on the throne again. “Reincarnation Core, I can give it to you.”
David remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
Ying Wuji leaned against the throne, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, producing rhythmic sounds.
“However, I have one condition.”
David looked at him and said, “Speak.”
Ying Wuji’s fingers stopped.
He looked at David, the glint in his eyes almost unconcealable.
“I need you to finish off someone for me.”
David frowned slightly: “Who?”
At this moment, David seemed to have found the answer in his heart.
Ying Wuji did not answer immediately.
He stood up, walked to the edge of the platform, his back to David, and looked at the upside-down starry sky above him.
“A cultivator of the sixth level of the True Immortal Realm.”
His voice was soft. “He is my enemy. Five thousand years ago, he wiped out my wife. For five thousand years, I have been looking for an opportunity to take revenge. Even though our cultivation levels are higher than his, he has the Divine Judgment Hall behind him.”
He turned and looked at David.
“But you are different. Your chaotic power can overcome all other powers, including his. Killing him will be as easy as turning your hand.”
David was silent for a moment, then asked, “Are you talking about Lei Zhentian?”
Ying Wuji was shocked; he didn’t expect David to know about Lei Zhentian.
“That’s right, he is Lei Zhentian, the current Vice Hall Master of the Divine Race.” Ying Wuji nodded!
David narrowed his eyes slightly.
Vice Hall Master of the Divine Clan Court, Rank Seven True Immortal Realm.
As the number one under Judgment Venerable, he mastered lightning-based techniques and possessed extremely powerful combat power, earning himself a terrifying reputation on Fifteenth Heaven.
“Kill him, and the Reincarnation Core will be yours,” said Ying Wuji. “Not only that, the Shadow Palace will be allied with you from now on. Your business is my business.”
David was silent for a long time.
He didn’t want to be someone else’s tool.
However, he needed the Reincarnation Core.
The Ghost Clan’s hope lay in these three treasures.
“Okay.” David nodded. “I promise you.”
Ying Wuji laughed.
He took out a black token from his sleeve and handed it to David.
“This is where Lei Zhentian is. He goes to Tianlei Mountain to practice thunder magic every month on the fifteenth. Today is the thirteenth, and in two days it will be the fifteenth. You can wait for him at Tianlei Mountain.”
David took the token and glanced at it.
“After I kill you, how will I find you?”
“No need to look for me,” said Ying Wuji. “You have finished off Lei Zhentian, and the news will definitely reach my ears. At that time, I will personally deliver the Reincarnation Core to you.”
David nodded and turned to leave.
“Wait a moment,” Ying Wuji called out to him.
David stopped where he was.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll break my promise?” Ying Wuji asked.
David didn’t look back. “You can try it.”
Then he left.
Jiang Xuelan followed behind him.
Ying Wuji stood on the high platform, watching the two figures disappear into the tunnel, and remained silent for a long time.
