    Xue Wuying’s words left Liu Kun momentarily bewildered. He gritted his teeth and said, “Looks like I’ll have to work harder on the princess. I’ll personally take the princess to Wu Hao for a talk. If he doesn’t hand over the Priest’s Manual, I’ll rape his daughter right in front of him!”


    With that, Liu Kun stormed off, intending to take the princess to Wu Hao.


    Within the main hall of the Leiyin Temple, the air was as stagnant as if it were solid.


    David’s divine dragon power, along with the spiritual energy of Taoist Wuji, Hu Mazi, and their disciples, continuously poured into the dragon-patterned bell. The golden light emanating from the bell collided violently with the demonic energy enveloping the hall, emitting a vibrating “hum” sound, as if it would shatter at any moment.


    “No! The demonic energy is growing stronger!”


    Hu Mazi wiped the sweat from his forehead and cast hisst talisman against the dragon-patterned bell. The ck energy instantly corroded it, reducing it to ash. “These demonic spirits seem to have been summoned by some sort of force, and they’re bing increasingly restless!”


    Taoist Wuji’s face paled, his spiritual energy nearly depleted. His voice cracked, “Fellow Daoist Chen, the power of the dragon-patterned bell is nearly exhausted… The cracks in the seal are widening. We can’t hold out much longer!”


    David gritted his teeth and forced out thest vestiges of his divine dragon power. A golden dragon shadow circled the bell, its golden light briefly suppressing the demonic energy.


    But he could clearly sense the evil aura emanating from the depths of the seal growing stronger, as if a slumbering beast was about to awaken.


    Suddenly, the ground shook violently, the entire Leiyin Temple trembled, and tiles from the roof fell.


    The ground beneath the seal crackled, and countless cracks spread like a spiderweb. Thick ck demonic energy gushed out from the cracks, instantly swallowing the golden light within the hall.


    “BOOM!”


    With a resounding sound that shook the heavens and the earth, the seal waspletely shattered!


    Countless twisted ck shadows rushed out from the cracks, and screams and roars intertwined to form a creepy sound wave.


    These demonic


    spirits took on various forms, some humanoid but with fangs, others beastlike but with multiple arms. A ck aura corroded their spiritual energy. These were the one hundred thousand demonic spirits that had been suppressed for ten thousand years!


    “Hide inside the Dragon-Patterned Bell!”


    David’s pupils constricted. With hisst remaining strength, he activated the bell, which instantly expanded to tens of feet tall, enveloping Taoist Wuji, Hu Mazi, and the surviving disciples.


    Demonic spirits surged through the bell like a tide, its runes flickering violently, barely holding back the demonic energy.


    But the scene outside the temple had degenerated into a purgatory. The walls of Leiyin Temple were shattered by the demonic spirits, and the surrounding mountains and forests were instantly stained ck by the demonic energy. Trees withered, and birds and beasts wailed. In the space of a single stick of incense, the area a hundred miles around Leiyin Temple became a barren demonic realm.


    Even more terrifying was the moment a hundred-foot-tall ck shadow slowly coalesced among the hundred thousand demon souls, emanating an auraparable to that of a human immortal.


    Wearing a crown of bone spurs, his eyes bloodshot, he was none other than the demon soul leader, the Soul Devourer.


    “Hahaha! Ten thousand years have passed! I’ve finally appeared!”


    Soul Devourer’s voice resounded like thunder, resonating through the heavens. “Pass mymand, all forces, attack straight to the Divine Capital! Rescue our kin imprisoned in the Divine Capital’s underground pce, and then conquer the Sixth Heaven!”


    “My Lord’smand!”


    The hundred thousand demon souls roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and earth.


    The sky was instantly covered in dark clouds, thunder and lightning shed, and ck rain mingled with demonic energy poured down, instantly, the Sixth Heaven’s spiritual energy.


    Simultaneously, Soul Devourer raised his hand and unleashed a ck token, which transformed into countless points of light in the air, dispersing across the Sixth Heaven—it was the “Demon Gathering Order”!


    The demon cultivators of the Sixth Heaven sensed its aura and instantly became seething with excitement.


    Whether it was the demon cultivators hiding in the deep mountains and forests, or the spies lurking in the major cities, they all rushed out of their hiding ces and rode the demonic energy towards the direction of the divine capital.
