<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5728</h2>


    The echoes of the oaths taken before the new Heavenly Gate still reverberated throughout the Nine Heavens, but David had no heart to enjoy the glory of all the sects paying homage.


    He knew all too well that the Soul Devourer was like a poisonous thorn; if not removed, it would eventually be a major threat, even endangering his newly established foundation.


    After entrusting the affairs of the Heavenly Gate to others and leaving a portion of the dragon n to guard it, David, along with Lao Hei, Cen Biqing who hade from the Yama Heavenly Sect, and over three hundred of the most elite dragons, embarked on their journey to the Netherworld Blood Sea.


    The Netherworld Blood Sea, located in the far west of the Nine Heavens, was one of the main battlefields of the legendary ancient war between gods and demons.


    It was as if the world was wounded, the space extremely unstable, permeated with a negative aura of chaos, ughter, and resentment.


    Before even truly arriving, a nauseatingly thick stench of blood and a chilling aura permeated the very soul rushed towards them.


    Looking into the distance, the horizon seemed to be covered by an endless expanse of dark red.


    It wasn’t a sunset, but a true sea of blood, formed from thebined blood of countless gods, demons, and living beings!


    The seawater was viscous like paste, its churning not creating waves, but rather the howling faces of twisted, tormented, vengeful spirits.


    Above the sea of blood, dark red, malevolent clouds shrouded the area year-round, lightning shing eerily crimson and emitting muffled roars.


    Space itself became fragile and distorted here, with ck spatial rifts frequently appearing and closing like scars, devouring everything in their path.


    The earth below was scorched ck, littered with enormous skeletons and broken weapons; some skeletons were asrge as mountains, still radiating a chilling pressure even after countless ages.


    “Damn it, this hellhole is really unsettling!”


    Old ck shook his dragon head, seemingly trying to dispel the chilling resentment lingering around his soul.


    Even a dragon of its thick hide felt an instinctive difort.


    Cen Biqing, surrounded by azure dragon energy, purified the approaching foul air. Her usually cold eyes were filled with solemnity: “The resentment here has umted for countless years, thews are chaotic, and it suppresses our strength to a certain extent. Everyone must be careful.”


    David nodded. He could feel that even absorbing spiritual energy was difficult here; the air was filled with more violent, bloodthirsty energy.


    If it weren’t for his ability to absorb malevolent energy and his profound foundation, he


    would probably struggle even to maintain flight.


    “Based on the fragments of the Evil Bone Elder’s memories and the clues gatheredter, the Soul Devourer’sir should be in the Soul Burial Abyss deep within the Blood Sea.”


    David extended his divine sense, but in this chaotd, it was greatly interfered with, only covering a radius of several dozen miles.


    “We’ll search slowly, paying attention to areas with abnormal soul fluctuations.”


    The dragon army slowed its pace, like a cautious giant python, swam along the edge of this forbiddennd of death, then carefully ventured deeper into the Blood Sea region.


    Upon entering the airspace above the Blood Sea, the dense negative energy intensified several times over.


    Countless vengeful spirits seemed to have smelled the scent of the living, like sharks smelling blood, swarming out of the Blood Sea, transforming into streaks of blood-red ghosts, emitting piercing screams, and attacking the dragon army.


    These vengeful spirits were not individually strong, but their numbers were simply too great, almost endless, and they were fearless, attacking directly at the souls, making them quite troublesome.


    “Purify them!”


    David ordered.


    Cen Biqing took the lead, her azure dragon energy transforming into a rain of azure light. Wherever it fell, the vengeful spirits melted away like ice and snow, emitting mournful screams before turning into wisps of smoke.


    The other dragons also disyed their unique abilities: dragon breath, thunder, storms, ice… various innate spells bloomed above the sea of blood, clearing away the endless stream of vengeful spirits.


    David did not intervene; he remained vignt, his divine sense spreading out to the maximum extent, searching for any suspicious traces.


    They flew along the sea of blood, witnessing many bizarre sights: inds formed from piled-up bones;


    gigantic, iplete divine corpses floating in the sea of blood;


    and naturally formed, all-consuming crimson vortexes.
