The Myriad Soul Banner unfurled against the wind and instantly swelled to a thousand zhang in size. As the banner rippled, an endless flood of black-grey resentful souls poured forth like a breached dam.
These resentful souls were far more solid and far more frenzied than those in the blood sea. Howling, they merged into a cataclysmic soul storm and smashed headlong into the gigantic claw of the energy golden dragon!
BOOM!!!!!!
Two forces capable of annihilating heaven and earth collided violently!
Soul Burial Abyss seemed to greet the apocalypse!
A terrifying spherical shockwave of energy blasted outward in all directions. Wherever it passed, bizarre rocks harder than refined iron were instantly pulverised, and the black earth below was scraped down by dozens of zhang!
Even space itself twisted grotesquely, countless tiny spatial rifts flashing like black lightning before vanishing!
The energy golden dragon let out a pained dragon cry. The enormous claw, formed from the combined might of hundreds of dragons, was actually corroded and worn away by nearly half in the clash with the soul storm from the Myriad Soul Banner!
Yet the torrent of resentful souls pouring from the banner was also purified and evaporated in huge swathes by the pure-yang, fiercely masculine power contained within the dragon claw!
This exchange was astonishingly evenly matched!
“How is this possible?!”
Watching from afar, Chen Ping felt his heart quake.
He had personally witnessed the might of the Myriad Dragons God-Slaying Array; it could effortlessly crush a fifth-grade Heavenly Immortal. Yet now the Soul-Devouring Venerable had blocked it single-handedly?
Just how deep were the foundations of this ancient monster?
“Don’t stop! Keep attacking! Wear him down!”
A trace of blood trickled from the corner of Cen Biqing’s mouth. Clearly maintaining such a colossal array placed enormous strain on her, but her gaze remained resolute as she forced the formation to continue.
The energy golden dragon roared once more. Its colossal tail, like a primordial divine whip, churned the winds and clouds, carrying law-shredding force as it lashed viciously toward the Soul-Devouring Venerable!
At the same time, the dragon’s maw opened wide, and a blazing golden dragon breath over a hundred metres in diameter gushed forth like an inverted stellar river!
“Heh heh! Bring it on! Soul-Devouring Heaven and Earth!”
The Soul-Devouring Venerable cackled grotesquely. Under his control, the Myriad Soul Banner danced wildly.
Even more resentful souls surged out. This time, instead of mindless charges, they began fusing and condensing. In the blink of an eye, they formed nine resentful-soul demonic dragons, each no smaller than the energy golden dragon!
These nine demonic dragons were composed of the purest resentful energy, their scales and claws clearly defined, green ghost flames burning in their empty eye sockets. They let loose silent roars that struck directly at the soul and fearlessly met the energy golden dragon head-on!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Ten titanic behemoths engaged in the most primitive, most savage melee above Soul Burial Abyss!
Claws rended, energies exploded, souls corroded! Every collision produced heaven-shaking explosions and terrifying chaotic energy currents.
The dragons’ pure-yang power and the Venerable’s extreme-yin resentful force countered and annihilated each other, turning this expanse of space into a meat-grinder of laws!
Old Black, meanwhile, did not join the combined array attack. Relying on his incomparably tough physique and battle instincts, he acted like a frenzied assassin, constantly launching surprise assaults around the Soul-Devouring Venerable’s main soul body!
“Old dog! Take a claw from your black grandpa!”
Seizing an opening, Old Black’s enormous dragon frame displayed agility utterly incongruous with its size, instantly appearing behind and to the side of the soul body.
Black light condensed on his heavily scaled claw, ripping through space as it raked savagely toward the core of the soul body!
“Hmph! Ignorant worm seeking death!”
The Soul-Devouring Venerable snorted coldly without even turning his head. With a mere thought, countless pitch-black shields formed from soul force instantly materialised around him!
Screeeech!
Old Black’s claws struck the soul shields with a piercing screech and a shower of sparks!
The shields shuddered violently and cracked, but they did not shatter!
At the same time, a sinister, bone-chilling soul backlash travelled up the dragon claw, causing Old Black’s massive body to tremble and let out a pained roar.
A thin layer of black ice actually spread across his claw. The soul-level agony caused his movements to freeze for an instant!
“Soul freezing?”
Old Black was both shocked and furious. This was the first time he had ever encountered an attack that could bypass his formidable physique and directly wound his soul!
