The edges of the wound were already inflamed and blackened, with dark red blood seeping out along the skin line, forming a shallow pool of blood at the bottom of the cage—a shocking sight.
The Golden Immortal’s attack was extremely targeted; the flames burned his body but did not damage his vital essence, and the severed soul did not sever his life force, thus successfully keeping him alive until his last breath.
Jiang Xuelan’s eyes were tightly closed, the cold ancient light between her eyebrows completely dimmed, and the rise and fall of her chest was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.
His breath was very weak, as fine as a spider’s thread, like a candle flickering in the strong wind in the middle of winter, and would be extinguished completely at any time.
Before the battle, Venerable Red Flame gave solemn and firm instructions, his words receiving no rebuttal: “This woman will be saved, her life and life force will be protected. She will be of great use in the future. Anyone who dares to harm her essence will be killed without exception.”
Wei Pengkun understood it perfectly and controlled his cultivators tightly throughout the process, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
All they wanted was to bring this rightful heir to the Ice God bloodline back to the temple unharmed, so that he could be used as a bargaining chip to control the alien races in the sky and manipulate the remaining rebel forces.
It was precisely because of Venerable Red Flame’s words that Jiang Xuelan maintained her chastity. Otherwise, with Jiang Xuelan’s beauty, countless divine cultivators would try to win her favor.
At that time, the entire Divine Race Alliance army would line up to dual cultivate, and no matter how strong Jiang Xuelan was, she would not be able to withstand it.
Secondly, this was a pitch black Soul Suppressing Bead that could be held in the palm of the hand and emitted a terrifying aura.
The bead was only the size of a thumb, with a thick and warm texture. Complicated and ancient dark golden sacred fire patterns swirled on its surface, and a faint divine fire pressure radiated out, preventing any divine soul from probing into it.
If we peer closely through the dense bead walls, we can see a faint, swaying ball of purple light, rising and falling within the dark core of the densely covered bead, its light and shadow dim and unpredictable.
That is the entire origin of David’s divine soul.
His physical body had been destroyed and destroyed by the combined attacks of the Gold Immortals. He was on the verge of complete collapse, leaving only a fragment of his divine soul that was forcefully sealed and suppressed.
The Soul Suppressing Pearl contained soul-locking restrictions that suppressed the soul’s origin layer by layer, gradually eroding the vitality of consciousness. The purple light has withered to the extreme, like a firefly in the wind, and may completely disappear and disappear into the world at any time.
As Wei Pengkun walked, he glanced back at the cage and the Soul Suppressing Pearl, his heart filled with excitement that was hard to calm.
Freedom Valley was completely destroyed, reduced to scorched earth and ruins;
David’s physical body was destroyed and his soul was sealed, so he had no chance to recover.
The inheritor of the Ice God’s legacy had become a prisoner, completely powerless to fight back;
The resistance army in the sky lost its leader, and the remnants of the army scattered and fled. Countless warriors died in battle, went into exile, or went into hiding, and they were no longer able to unite to form a force to fight the gods.
Starting today, within the Sixteen Heavens, the Divine Alliance would reign supreme, and no other force would dare to provoke it.
In the second half of the procession, two figures walked heavily, following the main army closely. Their auras were dim and they showed no signs of victory, a stark contrast to the cheerful and lively divine race elites around them.
They were both strong warriors and wise warriors.
Both are still recovering from injuries and have difficulty moving.
The fierce battle left deep burns and exposed bones on his chest, his skin charred and necrotic. A thick layer of healing bandages wrapped it, but it still couldn’t stop the stinging pain caused by the overflowing spiritual energy.
Every step he took aggravated his injuries, causing his body to stagger slightly. The true essence of his Pure Yang Body that was once invincible and dominating the battlefield, suffered heavy damage, and his combat power plummeted by more than half, making him lose his peak divine power.
Zhi Zhan’s right arm was broken and dislocated, hanging limply. It could only be tied tightly to his neck using a specially made spiritual cotton rope. His natal whip, which he had relied on to penetrate formations and defend against enemies, had been shattered into pieces and turned to ashes during the fierce attack.
Now he could only temporarily wear an ordinary iron longsword to serve as a soldier, and his top-level array formation skills could not be fully utilized.
The two men had grim and serious expressions, showing no joy at victory, their eyes were filled with deep sadness.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t satisfied with the great victory, but rather the brutal scenes of the bloody battle in the Northern Underworld Prison kept replaying in my mind, refusing to go away.
The young cultivator, despite the huge difference in their cultivation levels, remained fearless and fought with his life against the gods, even when his physical body was destroyed and his soul was injured. He never lowered his head to beg for mercy, and never took a step back.
Such steadfast character and unwavering will, even amidst enemies, inspired admiration and remained etched in the hearts of both veteran generals.
After winning a great battle and calming the chaos, I felt no joy, only a sense of deep regret and heavy oppression.
