<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5719</h2>


    David stared at the blood-red bead in his hand, devoid of any aura, his brows furrowing slightly.


    With his current cultivation level and the strength of his divine sense, even the highest-level treasures would be difficult to detect.


    Yet this bead was as silent as the most ordinary pebble in the mortal world, which in itself was extremely unusual.


    “The Heavenly Evil Sect has hidden you in such a secluded ce; you are no ordinary object… What secrets do you hold?”


    David murmured to himself, attempting to slowly infuse a wisp of chaotic immortal power into it.


    However, the immortal power vanished like a mud ox entering the sea; the blood bead showed no reaction.


    He then tried to bind it to his own blood; the blood fell onto the bead and was instantly absorbed, but the bead remained silent.


    Just as David was pondering whether to use a more radical method, such as forcibly cleaving it open with the Dragon-ying Sword, a sudden change urred!


    Deep within his sea of ??consciousness, the Great Luo Golden Scripture, which had been quietly suspended and exuding a hazy Daoist aura, seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, suddenly zing with golden light!


    “Buzz—!”


    Pure and vast golden light uncontrobly emanated from between David’s eyebrows, like a tangible pir of light, instantly enveloping the blood-red bead in his hand!


    This golden light seemed to contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, the origin of the universe, carrying a supreme majesty and purifying power.


    The blood bead, enveloped by the golden light, could no longer remain silent!


    “Ah—!”


    A shrill, piercing scream, filled with endless resentment and an ancient aura, suddenly erupted from within the blood bead!


    This sound did not travel through the air, but directly affected the soul, causing Old ck and the other dragons who were counting their spoils nearby to turn around in horror.


    The once lifeless blood bead, under the pressure of the golden light, churned violently on its surface like a boiling sea of ??blood.


    A solid, blood-red soul shadow, far more powerful and ancient than the remnant soul of the Soul Devouring Celestial Venerable, was forcibly forced out from within the bead!


    This soul shadow was dark red, its face blurred but its ferocity and madness still faintly visible, radiating an overwhelming evil aura and a savage, ancient malevolent energy!


    “Who is it? Who has disturbed my slumber? How dare you desecrate my sacred soul with such power!” The


    blood-red soul shadow roared angrily, attempting to resist the binding force of the golden light.


    Its soul power fluctuations were extremely strong, reaching the Heavenly Venerable realm, and giving off a profound sense of weight umted over countless years!


    “The Heavenly Evil Sect Ancestor?”


    David’s gaze sharpened, instantly guessing the identity of this remnant soul.


    He hadn’t expected that such an old monster was hidden within the Heavenly Evil Sect! It seemed that


    this blood bead was actually a vessel for nurturing such an ancient remnant soul!


    The remnant soul of the Heavenly Evil Sect Ancestor struggled, its scarlet eyes instantly locking onto David, who was closest to it, bursting forth with an extreme greed and ecstatic light.


    “What a perfect body! What boundless blood and energy! What a youthful soul! Hahaha! Heaven hasn’t forsaken me! Boy, I’ll dly ept this body of yours!”


    Itpletely ignored the source of the golden light that instinctively terrified it, perhaps due to its long slumber, or perhaps due to its extreme yearning for rebirth.


    It transformed into a streak of blood-red lightning, rushing directly towards David’s brow and sea of ??consciousness, attempting to forcibly seize his body!


    “Seeking death!”


    David coldly snorted, not stopping it, but instead releasing the defenses of his sea of ??consciousness.


    He wanted to see what kind of waves this old ghost, who had lived for who knows how long, could stir up in his home turf!


    The blood-red soul shadow rushed into David’s sea of ??consciousness without any hindrance.


    It had expected to face a fragile soul that it could manipte at will, and was prepared to enjoy the pleasure of devouring and possessing it.


    However, when it truly entered this vast and boundless sea of ??consciousness, what it saw was not David’s soul, but the Great Luo Golden Scripture suspended in the center of the sea of ??consciousness, radiating boundless golden light, as if it had existed since ancient times and suppressed all the heavens and myriad worlds!


    The Golden Scripture slowly rotated, and strands of golden light, like chains of divine order, permeated the entire sea of ??consciousness.
