In the end, the Heavenly King of Nine Qi Life-Command couldn't withstand the Destruction Divine Thunder of the human world.
His powerful divine soul was instantly destroyed beneath the divine sword formed from black lightning, leaving behind only the Nine Ghost Heavenly Lantern and a Creation Golden Chapter...
The divine soul's light within the Nine Ghost Heavenly Lantern was extinguished, but the lantern itself had been refined from the remains of an ancient Heavenly Ghost and hadn't been destroyed.
Gao Xian hadn't exactly come out ahead, either. The Destruction Divine Thunder had targeted the source of his divine soul, and the Heavenly King of Nine Qi Life-Command had taken half the tribulation lightning's power for him. He still had to endure the other half of the Destruction Tribulation Lightning himself.
In terms of divine soul cultivation, he was actually inferior to the Heavenly King of Nine Qi Life-Command, but he had the Myriad Calamity Yin Talisman Spear.
At the critical moment, Gao Xian's divine soul fused with the Myriad Calamity Yin Talisman Spear, allowing him to withstand the Destruction Divine Thunder head-on.
The Myriad Calamity Yin Talisman Spear had stood firm, but the Destruction Divine Thunder had blasted through most of its central restrictions, and the source of Gao Xian's divine soul had also suffered severe damage.
The might of the Destruction Divine Thunder had far exceeded Gao Xian's expectations.
If he hadn't dragged the Heavenly King of Nine Qi Life-Command in as a shield, he might truly have been annihilated in body and spirit this time!
That was precisely why Gao Xian had endured the pain in his divine soul just to taunt the Heavenly King of Nine Qi Life-Command. That old bastard had done a fine job—he'd tried to harm someone else and ended up harming himself first!
