Far away, Xiang Shaoyun could see with his divine dao eyes that the high priest had transformed his body into the dao, blocking the Dark Devourer Clan’s advance. Xiang Shaoyun could see that the high priest was prepared to throw his life away. After all, the high priest alone wouldn’t be able to stop the Dark Devourer Clan’s advance.
Xiang Shaoyun grew incredibly anxious. He wanted to return to the City of Light and return to the academy to seek help from his master. Perhaps only his master could stop this group from the Dark Devourer Clan. However, the City of Light was sealed from the world by God Realm power. After the high priest brought him out of the city, it would be extremely hard for him to return.
“A God Realm expert is required to stop the Dark Devourer Clan. With my speed, I’ll need several days to return to either the Ziling Sect or the Dragon Phoenix Academy. What should I do?” Xiang Shaoyun did not know what to do.
If he still had the jade slip from Purple Lightning Marquis, he could perhaps call Purple Lightning Marquis over with it, but he had already given the jade slip to Tian Ji. Thus, he felt extremely gloomy.
“Screw it. I need to focus on returning to the academy first,” said Xiang Shaoyun. After taking one last look at the high priest, he clenched his teeth and started rushing back to the academy.
He held nothing back, fully utilizing the Sky Measuring Step to travel through the void, hoping to seek help as soon as possible.
“There’s still a human kid? Don’t even dream of escaping. Become our blood sacrifice!” said one of the dark devourer devils. A gust of energy attempted to break through the high priest’s blockade, but it was stopped.
“I refuse to believe your defensive line can’t be broken! Break!” roared the devil as he started using his Devouring Eruption ability. Instantly, an opening was created in the high priest’s current of light. Next, the Devil God tossed 10 Devil Saints through the hole in Xiang Shaoyun’s direction.
When the 10 devils were tossed out, the current closed up once more, crushing the other devils trying to get through the hole into nothingness.
“What a terrifying strength. Looks like I have to kill you if I want to get through your blockade,” said the leader of the devils.
While the devils were attacking the current of light, the high priest transmitted his voice to Xiang Shaoyun, “The City of Light is protected by a top-tier god-grade formation laid out by our ancestors. The formation can stop the devils for seven days. Shaoyun, you must save my people!”
Xiang Shaoyun replied, “Do not worry, high priest. I’ll save them even if I have to give my life doing so!”
“Hehe, you need to remain alive in order to get a chance to give up your life,” said a devil with a sneer.
The 10 Devil Saints tossed in Xiang Shaoyun’s direction were all powerful existences. Each of them radiated thick bloodlust. One of them pounced toward Xiang Shaoyun, releasing a large amount of baleful blood poison that transformed into countless blades. The blades flew toward Xiang Shaoyun.
“Every single dark devourer devil deserves death!” roared Xiang Shaoyun as primal inception energy appeared around his body.
Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!
After receiving his master’s guidance on the usage of his battle techniques, Xiang Shaoyun’s Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist had become even more domineering and straightforward than before. The dreadful might crushed through the poison and blasted the Devil Saint into pieces.
Simplifying the great dao, killing with one hit!
That one punch even destroyed the devil core. There was no way that the devil could have survived that attack. When the other devils sensed Xiang Shaoyun’s strength, they stopped holding back and started attacking with their innate abilities.
Devouring Darkness!
Devouring Poison!
It was as though the nine devils were going to devour space itself. A vast amount of poison gushed out and dyed the area black, greatly dropping the visibility of the area. Even a single strand of this poison could reduce a Saint into a pile of blood.
“You guys are not the only ones with innate abilities. Die!” Xiang Shaoyun was in a rush, and he did not want to waste more time here. He immediately released the Imperial Nether Domain and dragged the nine devils inside. Next, terrifying soul attacks bombarded the nine devils.
Countless chains shot up and shackled the nine devils.
Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!
Next, the soul foundation unleashed a series of punches toward them. Because Xiang Shaoyun had perfectly fused his soul foundation with the Imperial Nether Domain, he could once again unleash all sorts of attacks with his soul foundation after regaining his astral cultivation. Two of the weaker devils were instantly killed, while five were greatly injured. As for the other two, they were peak Devil Saints that couldn’t be harmed so easily.
“Damn this Imperial Nether Clan ability! Use the Devouring Eruption and destroy him!” roared the strongest of them.
At his command, the surviving devils all self-detonated at the same time, aiming to destroy the Imperial Nether Domain. But how could Xiang Shaoyun allow them to do as they pleased?
“After forming my pseudo-god body, I have also gained a pseudo-god soul. I’ll let you witness my true strength,” said Xiang Shaoyun as his soul that had been seated cross-legged atop the soul foundation finally moved. Like a celestial being descending from heaven, the soul was enveloped in a multicolored radiance. As its eyes shone brightly, time itself seemed to stop. The devils were momentarily stunned.
Next, the soul attacked. Using its finger as a sword, it sent seven sword rays out that severed the heads of all seven surviving devils. Seven devil cores filled with devilish energy attempted to reconstruct their bodies, but the cores were instantly suppressed by the Imperial Nether Domain. Soon, Xiang Shaoyun collected all of them and erased their remaining consciousness with Yun Flame.
Just like that, Xiang Shaoyun easily killed 10 Devil Saints from the Dark Devourer Clan. Instead of staying around feeling proud, his soul flew out and carried his body, flying toward the Dragon Phoenix Academy at his top speed.
At the same time, he tossed a devil core into his mouth and started digesting it. On the surface world, he could constantly absorb the astral energy in the air. However, he had no way of growing his devilish energy. Thus, these devil cores were perfect for him to further enhance his devil cultivation. As he had gained full control over his devil dao, his devil cultivation no longer affected his state of mind. Rather, it would only make him stronger.
