Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Hahaha, did you hear? At the White Tiger Summit, Xuanwu Divine Hall unexpectedly lost a lot of talent to those forces from the Western Area of Black Tortoise Continent.”

Suddenly, a demon being with horns on its head, appearing as if a gale had sprung up, laughed heartily.

”Hehe, indeed, the dominance of Xuanwu Divine Hall on the White Tiger Continent is about to collapse soon, especially now with Nine Heavens Palace as its opponent, making it easier to annihilate them. To think that Ling Xiao actually took first place at the White Tiger Summit!”

Another demon sneered.

”What does taking first place matter? That kid will surely die sooner or later, but that Hundred Insect Demon King is seriously a useless piece of trash; we originally planned to rely on him to get rid of Ling Xiao, but in the end, he ended up losing his own life.”

”Keep your voice down, are you looking for death? That Hundred Insect Demon King is a brother to Lord Forest, don’t let the lord hear it, otherwise we will all be killed.”

The demon who spoke earlier closed his mouth, and after a moment’s silence, said, ”Let’s not talk about that. Lord Forest plans to kill His Highness of Xuanwu Divine Hall here, so we must prepare. His Highness isn’t easy to deal with.”

Ling Xiao did not know who Lord Forest was, feeling puzzled, but upon hearing that this Lord Forest intended to kill His Highness of Xuanwu Divine Hall, he was even more intrigued.

He listened more attentively, not wanting to miss any detail.

”Yes, His Highness indeed isn’t easy to deal with, but Lord Forest has long prepared a big gift for that guy.”

Don’t forget this is the Sky Melting Furnace. Lord Forest has laid the Senluo Heaven-reaching Array, using the terrifying evil energy of this Sky Melting Furnace as a foundation. Are you still worried about not being able to kill His Highness?”

Senluo Heaven-reaching Array?

Haha, interesting, interesting. I heard from my master that it’s a very formidable killing array, requiring the sacrifice of demon beings to activate.

It seems these foolish demons don’t particularly understand this array, still thinking Lord Forest has good intentions?

A bunch of idiots are about to be sacrificed.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao felt there was no need to keep listening.

Even though he didn’t know who Lord Forest was, he was certainly a figure, and his strength didn’t seem much inferior to that of His Highness.

Dog bites dog, all fur.

He instead hoped for a deadly fight between Lord Forest and His Highness, so he could benefit as the fisherman.

Thinking about it, he no longer cared about the matters here, transforming into a black demonic shadow and plunging into the scalding magma.

He continued sinking down.

The scalding magma couldn’t cause him any harm, but the deeper he went, the more a terrifying energy kept ascending, making him feel some pressure.

This energy, the devil intent was fierce, even more frightening than the Black Sky Demonic Ring.

It made the scalding magma seem to transform into demons rushing towards him.

The magma infused with devil intent burned Ling Xiao’s Shadow Battle Armor, making it constantly emit creaking sounds, as if on the verge of melting.

Ling Xiao felt as if he was about to be devoured by this magma.

”Humph, Heavenly Demon Incarnation, Sky Demon Purgatory!”

At the critical moment, Ling Xiao coldly snorted, directly incarnating as a heavenly demon, releasing Sky Demon Purgatory, instantly devouring the devil intent.

The magma, deprived of the support of devil intent, became ineffective, like a spark entering the ocean.

The terrifying devil intent merged into Sky Demon Purgatory, Ling Xiao felt his cultivation level starting to strengthen, rushing towards the next tier.

However, the further he went into the Life-taking Realm, the more difficult it was to elevate, particularly the last two tiers, which were ten times harder than the previous sixteen combined.

Despite the unending influx of energy, Ling Xiao still felt like a small stream pouring into a desert, having little effect.

However, even a drip can wear down a stone; Ling Xiao did not give up despite seeing no hope of breakthrough.

Even if the stream is small, it still has an effect, though it might not be apparent.

But the gentle stream, as long as it continues to pour, still holds the possibility of breaking through.

Bang!

About half an hour later, Ling Xiao crashed onto the ground.

At that moment, what he saw in front of him truly startled Ling Xiao.

Right before him, less than ten meters away, was a crimson magma pool.

In that immense magma pool, a massive creature was actually bound by countless chains.

Ling Xiao stood there, not even as big as a finger of the creature.

The creature possessed a gigantic head, looking like a beast, yet also like a grotesque member of the Beast Clan.

Overall, extremely ferocious.

Below the head, it resembled a human, but covered in fragments of black scales akin to dragon scales, appearing very peculiar.

Ling Xiao stared at the creature, and surprisingly, the creature stared back at him.

The enormous head lightly tilted downwards, its eyes flashing with an eerie red glow.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao’s mind was startled by a voice that came extremely unexpectedly.

This voice was dignified yet cold.

”Boy, who are you, able to pass through the devil intent magma and reach this depth of the Sky Melting Furnace?”

Ling Xiao sharply looked at the creature, guessing the voice transmitted to him using soul power was exactly this brute.

”Are you the demon head trapped here?”

Ling Xiao didn’t answer the other’s question, instead he posed a query.

”Insolent, you haven’t answered my question yet!”

The demon seemed somewhat angry, being ignored by such a small human, making him quite furious.

”Being imprisoned like this, still trying to scare people, do you really think you can do anything with your current abilities?”

Ling Xiao had carefully observed before; although the demon definitely had terrifying Reincarnation Realm strength, perhaps even stronger than Xuan Ming and Jiutian Meng.

But those chains on this guy weren’t ordinary chains, they were seals and imprisonment, showing no signs of weakening after over a hundred thousand years.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Empress, indeed lives up to her reputation.

”Haha, young lad, quite bold indeed! Right, I can’t harm you, but you can rescue me; I’ll impart all my demonic Qi to you, along with our Demon Clan’s most powerful martial arts.”

The demon tried to lure, knowing the one before him wasn’t someone who easily feared.

”Why waste your efforts, do you truly think I’m a three-year-old? If you offer something tangible, I might make your time more comfortable.”

Ling Xiao casually regarded the demon before him.

Initially worried about facing a fierce battle, but now it seemed the situation was much better than anticipated.

The demon remained silent, seemingly pondering how to coax Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao continued, ”Let me tell you the truth, outside the Senluo Heaven-reaching Array has already been set up; this killing array can sacrifice all demon beings within its range!

Of course, including you!

I know you’re strong, but you’re currently still sealed. Once the Senluo Heaven-reaching Array is activated, you’ll have no chance.

You will be gradually devoured by the killing array, eroded, and finally, like those of your kin who perished during the Ancient Era, completely vanish.”
