Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

The army of Black Crow City also began to join the battle.

They intended to erase this Sea Clan Tribe from the Mysterious World entirely!

Because they had experienced the pain of losing loved ones and comrades.

When they were in despair, these people never sympathized with them, so why would they need to sympathize with their adversaries?

The slaughter lasted for an hour, finally ending.

Gazing at the corpses scattered everywhere, Ling Xiao coldly issued the order to clean up the battlefield.

Within the Sea Clan Tribe, there were quite a few treasures, and these treasures were brought out by the tribesmen.

After all, they were planning to flee.

And now, these treasures all belonged to the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.

”Return the troops to the city!”

After the search was completed, Ling Xiao retracted his Soul Power and Demonic Qi, causing the Demon Corpse Army to immediately collapse.

Even he couldn’t control this Demon Corpse Army for extended periods; the consumption was too great.

Let these demon corpses be buried in the deep sea.

The army returned, leaving the deep sea, and Ling Xiao dispelled the effect of the Xuanwu Pearl. The sea immediately refilled, and the over a million corpses became a feast for the sea beasts.

Once back in Black Crow City, Ling Xiao didn’t linger.

After catching up with Shangguan Hong, Ling Sha, and others, the handling of the corpses began.

These matters naturally did not require Ling Xiao’s concern.

Shangguan Hong would handle them well.

He personally buried Meng Tong and Xin, and established a hero’s mausoleum in Black Crow City.

A massive tombstone was erected within the mausoleum, inscribed with the words ”The Heroes of the Heavenly Dynasty Are Immortal.”

This place couldn’t bury tens of thousands of fallen soldiers, but this tombstone stood for all of them.

”My good brothers, you watch here, watch as I avenge you!

After annihilating the Tianhai Empire and Silver Fox Empire, I will return to pay my respects to you!”

Looking at Meng Tong and Xin’s graves, Ling Xiao took a deep breath and then turned to leave.

He did not return to Divine Phoenix City but wrote a letter, handing it to Shangguan Hong who would then pass it to Wu Xiang.

Actually, the content of the letter was simple.

He intended to go to the Tianhai Empire to kill the Skysea King!

He instructed Wu Xiang to immediately reorganize domestic military forces, gather troops, forge ships, and prepare to launch a major attack against the Tianhai Empire.

The signal would be the death of the Skysea King.

Ling Xiao was not worried about the spread of the news; the Heavenly Dynasty Empire indeed had some spies within the Tianhai Empire. Once the Skysea King was killed in battle, the news would quickly reach Wu Xiang.

By the time Wu Xiang received this letter, Ling Xiao had already arrived at the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.

As for Fan Ruohai, he parted ways with Ling Xiao to seek out the remnants of the Fan Family’s forces.

He too planned to capture his own power in this war against the Tianhai Empire, as the Fan Family had resolved to ally with the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.

...

In a tavern somewhere within the Tianhai Empire.

Two people exuding a sinister aura were drinking there.

”Deputy Sect Master Chen, how’s it going? Have you caught that guy’s scent?”

Asked a middle-aged man in black, while the other wore a long purple robe.

Deputy Sect Master Chen sneered, ”You’re asking a pointless question. With my skills, as long as there’s wind within a few hundred miles, he won’t escape my tracking!”

”Hehe, Deputy Sect Master Chen is indeed formidable. Your Black Wind Martial Spirit is much stronger than some others.”

The middle-aged man in black laughed, naturally trusting that Deputy Sect Master Chen was not lying.

After all, this person’s cultivation level had reached the Eighteenth Layer of the Life-taking Realm. If he couldn’t even track a mere Ling Xiao, that would be too incompetent.

”Humph! Ling Xiao might have stood out at the White Tiger Summit, but he has only just crossed into the Life-taking Realm. You, as a Demon General of our sect, shouldn’t be afraid of him.

Yet, you still want me to personally assist you?”

Deputy Sect Master Chen snorted disdainfully.

Of course, he didn’t know about Ling Xiao repelling Tian Hai Nuo, nor would he know about Ling Xiao slaying the Magic Cube Honorable.

Nor was he aware of the terrifying massacre erupting on the Dragon and Phoenix Continent.

If he knew these things, he wouldn’t underestimate Ling Xiao.

”Deputy Sect Master Chen, my intention is to be more cautious. That kid is too cunning. With your personal assistance, success is much more assured.”

The middle-aged man in black laughed.

”Indeed, that boy has been elusive ever since leaving the Nine Heavens Palace. The Sect Master has strictly ordered his execution, Dark Demon General. If you manage to kill him this time, you’ll earn great merit with the Sect Master.”

Deputy Sect Master Chen replied indifferently.

”Deputy Sect Master Chen, you’re mistaken. The merit should be yours. I’ll be satisfied as long as I can obtain the Gluttonous Martial Soul from that boy.”

Dark Demon General hastily said.

”Very well, let’s depart now. That guy has shown up.”

Deputy Sect Master Chen suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing.

”Hmm!”

Without paying, the two exited the tavern and chased in a particular direction.

In the sky, the sea of clouds surged.

Amidst the vast clouds, a figure weaved through.

Perhaps due to this figure’s incredible speed, the ripples formed by the clouds were continuously being torn apart.

That person was indeed Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao’s intention was simple, to use his own strength to eradicate the royal family of the Tianhai Empire.

Once the Life-taking Realm Martial Artists of the Tianhai Empire were annihilated, the army of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire could then advance unimpeded.

His current cultivation level was the Sixteenth Layer of the Life-taking Realm.

But if he were to unseal the power of the Seven Great Heavenly Demon Kings at his brow, killing Life-taking Realm martial artists was still very possible.

The Seven Great Heavenly Demon Kings can only be subdued amid battle, so Ling Xiao sought to accomplish two goals with one move.

On one hand, leveraging the power of the Demon King to kill the Skysea King.

On the other hand, using the Skysea King’s power to subdue the Seven Great Heavenly Demon Kings.

This power remained sealed and unused; it was truly too wasteful.

Although Ling Xiao was cautious by nature, he wasn’t devoid of an adventurous spirit.

Especially given the difficulty of improving his cultivation now, he needed a battle that genuinely posed a threat to his life.

Perhaps, in a life-and-death battle, he could grasp more insights and then soar to new heights.

Behind Ling Xiao, about ten miles away, Deputy Sect Master Chen and Dark Demon General were trailing arduously.

”Damn it, how is this guy so fast, and how is his inner strength so robust? Is he really just a practitioner at the Eighteenth Layer of the Yin-Yang Realm?”

Dark Demon General cursed.

He and Deputy Sect Master Chen had to rely on the power of treasures to barely keep up with Ling Xiao.

But from a mile to now spanning ten miles, they were becoming desperate.

”This kid must have some treasure on him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare venture alone into the Tianhai Empire, especially given the deep animosity between him and the Tianhai Empire.”

Deputy Sect Master Chen gritted his teeth; he genuinely loathed Ling Xiao.
