Just as the words faded,
“Boom!!!”
The Myriad Souls Blood Pool suddenly exploded!
Thick blood plasma and fragments of countless resentful souls shot skyward!
A tall figure, entirely shrouded in roiling black demonic qi and bloody soul power, slowly rose from the bottom of the blood pool and stood in mid-air!
It was none other than the Soul Devourer!
At this moment, his aura was utterly different from when he was in the Ninth Heaven!
Though he still carried a sense of weakness at the soul level, the vast and majestic demonic essence and soul pressure far surpassed the Ghost Bone Elder, and were far more powerful than any opponent Chen Ping had ever faced before!
The aura of laws flowing around him faintly touched a mysterious realm above the Heavenly Immortal level!
He slowly raised his head. The two points of red glow beneath his hood, like burning blood moons, locked firmly onto Chen Ping.
“Young one… you have finally come.”
The Soul Devourer’s voice was no longer hoarse. Instead, it had become exceptionally clear and icy cold. Every word seemed to carry a soul impact, shaking the minds of everyone present. “This venerable one has waited for this day for a very long time.”
Feeling the powerful aura of the Soul Devourer, Chen Ping’s eyes showed no fear. Instead, they blazed with fierce battle intent!
Chaotic immortal power surged and roared within his body. The chaotic fire lotus in his dantian slowly rotated, emitting scorching battle intent.
The Dragon Slaying Sword also seemed to sense the aura of a powerful enemy and let out a low hum.
“You have recovered well.”
Chen Ping commented indifferently. “Unfortunately, you will still die.”
“Hahahaha!”
The Soul Devourer seemed to have heard the greatest joke in the world. He let out a deafening, maniacal laugh filled with endless sarcasm and killing intent. “Die? With just you? A mere ninth-grade Human Immortal who has luckily obtained some opportunities and truly believes himself invincible under the heavens?”
“When this venerable one roamed the myriad heavens and devoured the beings of stars, your ancestors had not even been born!”
His laughter abruptly stopped, and his voice suddenly turned sharp. “Today, this venerable one will let you know what true power is! What despair is!”
Before the words had fully faded, the Soul Devourer suddenly raised his hand and clawed towards Chen Ping from afar!
“Soul Devouring Demonic Claw!”
A massive demonic claw, hundreds of feet across and formed entirely from extremely condensed black soul power and demonic essence, appeared out of thin air!
On the demonic claw, countless twisted and struggling faces of suffering souls wailed in pain, emitting a terrifying aura that devoured all vitality and corrupted everything!
The moment the demonic claw appeared, it locked the space around Chen Ping. With the might to shatter stars and crush souls, it ruthlessly clawed down!
The power of this strike far exceeded any technique the Ghost Bone Elder had used!
It had already faintly touched the threshold of a higher realm!
Chen Ping’s gaze sharpened. He did not dare to be careless. Chaotic immortal power circulated at full strength within his body. The Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand erupted with brilliant chaotic light!
“Chaos Opens the Heavens!”
With a clear shout, he swung the Dragon Slaying Sword from bottom to top in a reverse slash!
A sword gang condensed to the extreme, as if capable of separating the clear from the turbid and splitting chaos itself, carried scorching chaotic true flames that burned all things and sword intent that destroyed everything. It met the heaven-obscuring Soul Devouring Demonic Claw head-on!
“Booooom!!!!!!!!!”
The sword gang and demonic claw collided violently!
An indescribable terrifying explosion occurred!
A raging energy storm instantly swept across the entire Myriad Souls Hall square!
The remnant formation set up by Hun Sha and the others was torn apart like paper. Countless demonic sect disciples screamed as they were swept into the storm and reduced to dust!
The incomparably sturdy Nether Demonic Iron ground was ripped up. More than half the blood water in the Myriad Souls Blood Pool evaporated. Even space itself showed large patches of black cracks that could not heal for a long time!
Amid the swirling smoke and dust, Chen Ping’s figure flew backwards dozens of feet before he barely stabilised himself. The hand holding the sword tingled slightly, and his vital energy surged chaotically within him.
As for the Soul Devourer, his body merely swayed once before he steadied himself in the air. Although the massive Soul Devouring Demonic Claw had been slashed with a deep gash by the sword gang, it slowly writhed and repaired itself, its might undiminished!
