Xue Wuying’s words left Liu Kun somewhat at a loss for a moment. He could only grit his teeth and say. “It seems we still need to work on the princess. I will personally take the princess to find Wu Hao and talk. If he still does not hand over the Sacrificial Codex, I will do his daughter right in front of him!”
After speaking, Liu Kun left in a huff, planning to take the princess to find Wu Hao.
…
In the main hall of Leiyin Temple, the air was stagnant as if solid.
Chen Ping’s divine dragon power, along with the spiritual power of Wuji Daozhang, Hu Mazi, and a group of disciples, continuously poured into the dragon pattern bell. The golden light emitted by the bell body collided fiercely with the demonic qi enveloping from outside the hall, producing a “buzzing” tremor, as if it would shatter at any time.
“No good! The demonic qi is getting stronger!”
Hu Mazi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The last talisman in his hand was pasted onto the dragon pattern bell, but it was instantly corroded into ashes by the black qi. “These demon souls seem to have received some kind of summons, becoming more and more restless!”
Wuji Daozhang’s face was pale, his spiritual power consumption nearing the limit, his voice hoarse. “Chen Daoyou, the power of the dragon pattern bell is almost exhausted… The cracks in the seal are expanding. We cannot hold on much longer!”
Chen Ping clenched his teeth tightly, forcing out the last trace of divine dragon power from his body. A golden dragon shadow coiled on the bell body, the golden light briefly suppressing the demonic qi.
But he could clearly feel that the evil aura coming from the depths of the seal was becoming more and more majestic, as if a giant beast that had slept for eternity was about to awaken.
Suddenly, the ground trembled violently. The entire Leiyin Temple teetered on the verge of collapse, tiles from the hall roof falling one after another.
The ground where the seal was located made a “crack” sound. Countless cracks spread like a spider web. Thick black demonic qi spewed out from the fissures, instantly devouring the golden light in the hall.
“Boom!”
A tremendous roar that shook heaven and earth, the seal completely shattered!
Countless twisted black shadows surged madly from the cracks. Shrieking sounds and roaring sounds intertwined, forming a bone-chilling sound wave.
These demon souls had various forms. Some resembled human shapes but with fangs, others like beast shadows but with multiple arms, surrounded by black qi that could corrode spiritual power. They were precisely the hundred thousand demon souls suppressed for ten thousand years!
“Quickly hide in the dragon pattern bell!”
Chen Ping’s pupils contracted sharply. He exerted his last strength to urge the bell body. The dragon pattern bell instantly expanded to dozens of zhang high, enveloping Wuji Daozhang, Hu Mazi, and the surviving disciples within.
The demon souls swept past the dragon pattern bell like a tide. The runes on the bell body flickered violently, barely resisting the erosion of the demonic qi.
But the scene outside the temple had completely turned into purgatory. The courtyard walls of Leiyin Temple were smashed to pieces by the demon souls. The nearby mountains and forests were instantly dyed black by the demonic qi. Trees withered, birds and beasts wailed. In just the time of one incense stick, the hundred li area around Leiyin Temple became a barren demonic domain where not a blade of grass grew.
What was even more heart-palpitating was that among the hundred thousand demon souls, a black shadow a hundred zhang tall slowly condensed. The aura it emitted was comparable to the Human Immortal realm.
He wore a bone spike crown, eyes like blood holes. It was the demon soul leader “Soul Devouring Venerable”.
“Hahaha! Ten thousand years! This seat has finally come out!”
The Soul Devouring Venerable’s voice was like thunder, resounding through the clouds. “Pass on this seat’s command. The entire army attacks, head straight to the Divine Capital! Rescue the clansmen suppressed in the underground palace of the Divine Capital, then flatten the sixth heaven!”
“Obey the Venerable Lord’s command!”
The hundred thousand demon souls roared in unison, the sound shaking heaven and earth to change colour.
The sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Black rainwater mixed with demonic qi poured down. The spiritual qi of the sixth heaven instantly became turbid and unbearable.
At the same time, the Soul Devouring Venerable raised his hand and shot out a black token. The token turned into thousands of light points in the air, scattering to various places in the sixth heaven. It was precisely the “Gather Demons Token”!
The demonic clan cultivators in the sixth heaven sensed the aura of the Gather Demons Token and instantly boiled over.
Whether it was the demon cultivators hidden in deep mountains and old forests, or the hidden agents lurking in major cities, all rushed out of their hiding places, riding the demonic qi towards the direction of the Divine Capital.
