    He paused, then pulled a ck token from his storage bag. Twisted demonic patterns were engraved on it, emitting a sinister aura. “This is the ‘Demon Summoning Token’ I found among the relics of the previous emperor. It’s said to be able to channel the power of the sealed demon soul.


    Combined with your Evil Dao Hall’s ‘Soul-Eroding Formation’ and the sacrificed blood and essence of three hundred Earthly Immortal Realm cultivators, it might be possible to break the seal!” Xue


    Wuying’s gaze fell on the Demon Summoning Token, a glint of greed shing in his crimson eyes.


    He pondered for a moment, then finally nodded. “Alright! I’ll trust you this once. We’ll meet tomorrow at ‘Nine Nether Abyss,’ the ce where the demon soul is sealed.


    If this fails, don’t me me for being ruthless!”


    With that, Xue Wuying transformed into a stream of ck energy and vanished through the wall.


    Liu Kun gazed at the direction he had disappeared in, a sinister smile curling his lips. “Xue Wuying, when the demon soul emerges, the first to be devoured will be you, old ghost!”


    The next day, the Nine Nether Abyss.


    This was the most secret forbidden area of ??the Divine Kingdom. The bottomless abyss was filled with a biting cold. A massive golden shield hovered in the center, covered in ancient runes, the seal that suppressed the demon soul.


    Beyond the shield, Liu Kun and Xue Wuying had already set up a formation.


    Three hundred ck-robed monks sat cross-legged at the center of the formation, their faces expressionless, clearly controlled by Liu Kun’s secret technique. Xue


    Wuying stood in the center, forming hand seals and muttering something. As he chanted, the essence and blood of the three hundred monks were forcibly drained, transforming into streams of blood that flowed into the center of the formation. The Soul-Eroding Formation instantly activated, and ck mist surged towards the golden seal like a tide.


    Liu Kun, holding the Magic Induction Token, leaped above the seal and pressed it hard against the light shield.


    The magic patterns on the Magic Induction Token collided with the runes on the seal, creating a sizzling sound, and a tiny crack appeared in the golden light shield.


    “It’s done!” Liu Kun, overjoyed, increased his spiritual power output, and the ck energy surrounding the Demonic Induction Order grew even denser.


    Seeing this, Xue Wuying grinned and summoned even more Soul-Erosion power, “Prime Minister Liu, keep pushing! Just create a gap, and the Demonic Soul will break free of the seal!” However


    , just as the crack in the seal was about to widen, the ancient runes on the shield suddenly illuminated with a brilliant golden light. As ifing alive, the runes circted across the shield’s surface, instantly repairing the crack.


    Furthermore, a golden shockwave erupted from the seal, sending Liu Kun and Xue Wuying retreating. The golden light also dispelled much of the Soul-Erosion Array’s ck energy.


    “How is that possible?”


    Liu Kun clutched his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief. “The Demon Summoning Token clearly canmunicate with demonic spirits, so why has the seal be even stronger?”


    Xue Wuying’s expression was grim. “This seal imbues it with ancient divine power, and my Soul-Erosion Formation can’t destroy it.


    The essence and blood of those three hundred cultivators are already depleted. To offer another sacrifice, we’d need at least a thousand Earth Immortal Realm cultivators of the eighth rank or higher. Can you spare that?”


    Liu Kun fell silent.


    Although he controlled the Divine Capital’s National Defense Legion, the majority of his forces were required to garrison the city. Deploying a thousand Earth Immortal Realm cultivators of the eighth rank or higher would inevitably cause unrest in the legion, potentially leading to internal unrest within the Divine Capital.


    “Does the Sacrifice Manual really have to be used?”


    Liu Kun gritted his teeth, a thought of retreating rising in his heart, but thinking of the temptation of controlling the Sixth Heaven, he forced himself to suppress it. “Elder Xue Wuying, your Evil Path Hall is very powerful. Can you transfer more manpower? As long as we open the seal, we can divide the power of the demon souls equally!”


    Xue Wuying sneered, “Equally? Prime Minister Liu has a good n. I tell you the truth, without the Sacrifice Manual, don’t even think about opening the seal! Moreover, the elite members of the Evil Path Hall are not in the Sixth Heaven. If we lose thousands of cultivators just for these demon souls, the Hall Master will never allow it.”
