<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5448</h2>


    Everyone followed Ling Xi, cautiously advancing deeper into the pce.


    With every step, they endured attacks from soul threads and the erosion of demonic energy, making the path forward extremely difficult.


    Countless corpses of cultivatorsy scattered on the pce grounds. Their faces were as pale as paper, their eyes wide open, and expressions of fear still lingered on their faces.


    Clearly, they had all died after the Soul Devourer had extracted their souls.


    Ling Yue gazed at the corpses, her eyes filled with pity and anger.


    She had once been the royal physician of the Divine Kingdom, having dedicated her life to healing the wounded and the dying. Now, she could only watch helplessly as so many cultivators perished tragically at the hands of the demonic cultivators.


    “These are all cultivators from our Divine Kingdom…”


    Wu Hao’s voice trembled slightly. He recognized the attire of some of them. “They are all heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect the Divine Capital…”


    David clenched the Dragon ying Sword in his hand, golden spiritual energy swirling around him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.


    He remembered Commander Ao Lie’s sacrifice, and the cultivators ughtered by the demonic cultivators in the small town, and his anger grew stronger.


    “Soul Devourer, I will kill you!”


    David muttered to himself, his steps bing more resolute.


    At this moment, a roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the pce, followed by a powerful aura emanating from within. The entire pce trembled violently, as if it would copse at any moment.


    “Not good!”


    Ling Xi’s face changed. “His body solidification speed has elerated!”<fnd268> Readplete version only at fin?novel</fnd268>


    Everyone’s heart tightened, and they hurriedly quickened their pace, running towards the direction of the aura.


    Turning a corner, they saw a scene that made everyone gasp.


    In the deepest part of the pce, Soul Devourer hovered in mid-air, surrounded by countless ck soul threads, connecting to thousands of surrounding ck soul urns. Within the soul urn


    , countless white soul lights were rapidly disappearing, evidently absorbed by the Soul Devourer.


    The Soul Devourer’s body had solidified by nearly 80%, its once ethereal and transparent form now clearly visible.


    He wore a ck robe, his face as pale as paper, his eyes sunken, his lips blood-red. He exuded a suffocating, sinister aura.


    “Hahaha… I’m finally going to seed!” The Soul Devourerughed wildly, his voice filled with excitement and satisfaction. “It won’t be long before I can fully solidify my physical body and restore my peak strength!”


    Ling Xi looked at the Soul Devourer, her eyes filled with solemnity. She could sense that the Soul Devourer’s strength had increased several times over.


    “Everyone, be careful! His strength has increased several times!” Ling Xi said in a deep voice, the cyan spiritual light surrounding him bing even more dazzling, as he was ready for battle.


    David, Wu Hao, and the others also released their spiritual energy, looking at the Soul Devourer with solemn expressions.


    They knew the uing battle would be tough.


    “Lingxi, you’ve arrived just in time!” Soul Devourer slowly turned, his gaze fixed on Lingxi and the others, his eyes filled with disdain and murderous intent. “Since you’re so determined to die, I’ll grant your wish!”


    Before he’d finished speaking, Soul Devourer shed and instantly appeared before Lingxi. A ck demonic light condensed in his hand and sted towards her.


    “Be careful!”


    Lingxi shouted, quickly releasing cyan spiritual energy to block it.


    “Bang!”


    With a resounding roar, the cyan spiritual energy and the ck demonic light collided, generating a massive shockwave.


    Lingxi felt a surge of powerful force emanating from the demonic light, and she involuntarily took a few steps back, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.


    “What?” Lingxi stared at Soul Devourer in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief. “You’ve be this powerful?”


    Lingxi frowned, her expression grave. In just a short while, she’d already been wounded by Soul Devourer.


    Soul Devourer wasn’t fully solid yet. If he had, she’d likely be defeated in a single blow.
