<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5389</h2>


    Over the Divine Capital, dark clouds gathered overhead. ck rain, mingled with demonic energy, pelted the walls, crackling with tter.


    Liu Kun leaned against the wall, his heart pounding as he gazed at the ck torrent sweeping in from afar.


    It was an army of a hundred thousand demon souls. Wherever they passed, mountains and rivers crumbled, lives were decimated, and even the heavens and earth were dyed a dead ck.


    “My lord, the demon soul army has arrived at the city!”


    the voice of his trusted advisor wailed, his finger pointing forward.


    Liu Kun suppressed his fear and turned to Xue Wuying behind him, saying, “Elder Xue Wuying, I’ll trouble you to negotiate with the Demon Soul Leaderter. If he surrenders to me, I’ll give him half of the Sixth Heaven!”


    Xue Wuying sneered and didn’t reply. He simply didn’t believe Liu Kun’s boasts and waited to see how this ambitious man would bring humiliation upon himself.


    A momentter, a hundred thousand Demon Soul troops halted at the foot of the Divine Capital.


    The Soul Devourer hovered in mid-air, a hundred-foot-tall ck shadow obscuring the sky. The pressure from the Human Immortal Realm was like a mountain, forcing the soldiers of the Nation Guarding Legion on the city walls to their knees, unable even to raise their heads.


    “Ants, open the city gates and surrender to me, and I’ll spare your lives!”


    The Soul Devourer’s voice was like thunder, shaking the city walls slightly.


    Liu Kun took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and soared into the air. He bowed to the Soul Devourer and said, “Lord Demon Soul, I am Liu Kun, Prime Minister of the Divine Kingdom. If you will bring your Demon Soul into my service, I will share the throne of the Sixth Heaven and share our prosperity!”


    Upon hearing this, a flicker of mockery shed in the Soul Devourer’s hollow eyes, and he raised his hand and struck.


    Before Liu Kun could react, he was struck by a tremendous force, sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut, mming heavily against the city wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood and suffered several broken ribs.


    “Submit to you? Don’t you see what you are?”


    The Soul Devourer’s voice was filled with disdain. “You’re just a clown, and you think you’re worthy enough to negotiate with me?”


    Liu Kuny on the city wall, his whole body in pain, with a storm in his heart – he had not expected the Soul Devourer’s strength to be so terrifying. In front of him, he could not even withstand a single move.


    Upon seeing this, Xue Wuying immediately soared into the air and bowed to Soul Devourer, saying, “Junior Xue Wuying, the Great Elder of the Evil Dao Hall, greets you, Your Majesty! I am also a demonic cultivator, and we are one family. Liu Kun was ignorant and offended you, Your Majesty. I beg your forgiveness!”


    Soul Devourer nced at Xue Wuying, sensing the demonic aura within him. As expected, he refrained from attacking him, instead coldly saying, “Since you are a demonic cultivator, you will serve me. As for this Divine Capital, either open the gates and surrender, or behead them!”


    Xue Wuying quickly replied, “Junior obeys!”


    He then turned and red at Liu Kun, “Prime Minister Liu, why don’t you quickly order the gates to surrender? Are you going to leave the Divine Capital in ruins?”


    Liu Kun struggled to his feet, looking at the demonic army gazing at him from below, then at the soldiers of the State Guarding Legion trembling on the city walls. Despair filled his heart.


    He knew that resistance would lead to his death.


    “Pass… Pass the order! Open the city gates and submit to the Demon Soul Lord!” Liu Kun’s voice trembled, filled with resentment and yet a sense of helplessness.


    “What? The Prime Minister wants us to surrender to the Demon Soul?”


    “Absolutely not! We are soldiers of the Divine Kingdom. How can we bow to the demons?”


    “Even if it means death, we will fight the Demon Soul!”


    As soon as Liu Kun gave the order, the soldiers of the Guardian Legion on the city wall erupted in anger.


    Most of them were native Divine Kingdom residents, nurtured by the Divine Kingdom for generations. Moreover, they were the Protoss, the proud Protoss.


    How could they surrender to the demons?


    The Divine Kingdom’s status among the Protoss was already low. If they surrendered to the demons, the entire Divine Kingdom would be scorned by the Protoss cultivators.
