Strange activity at the Demon King City.
Everyone in the heart of Severed Soul City looked up in astonishment.
All eyes were fixed on the direction of the Demon King City.
now.
In the center of Purgatory City, amidst three stone pillars, the Purgatory Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes, looking incredulously towards the direction of Demon King City.
There, a thick, dark beam of light shot into the sky towards the dazzling starry river!
It seemed to pierce through the Milky Way, penetrating the entire Severed Soul City.
This terrifying aura, and the sense of oppression...
The Purgatory Ancestor was all too familiar with this.
After all, he had just been nearly killed by the owner of that aura with a casual flick of his wrist...
"Just a remnant soul... After being suppressed for so many years, it can still unleash such terrifying power...?"
The Purgatory Ancestor looked horrified, his face solemn, and his brows furrowed tightly.
I looked up at the dazzling Milky Way.
This dark pillar of light not only broke through the suppression and seal of the huge castle and the three stone pillars.
Now, it has triggered a powerful backlash from the Severed Soul City, yet it still manages to break through it, piercing directly through the dazzling starry river...
"Just who is this person...?"
Now, the Purgatory Ancestor is absolutely certain that the owner of this remnant soul was once a top-tier existence in the entire High-Latitude Realm!
It's even impossible to be completely unknown!
now.
Outside the Severed Soul City.
The leaders of the major forces, as well as the powerful Rogue Cultivator, all retreated several hundred feet.
Whether it was the Supreme Elder of the Holy Talisman Sect, the Heaven Immortal Realm expert from the Su Clan, or Huo Zhengheng, they all wore solemn expressions, releasing Spiritual Qi barriers to resist the dark black pillar of light that suddenly emerged from the Severed Soul City!
"What exactly is this beam of light? How can it make even my soul tremble?"
Another powerful figure asked solemnly, "What exactly happened in Severed Soul City? You must know, nothing like this has ever happened during any of the previous openings of Severed Soul City!"
"Hopefully, those young people in Severed Soul City weren't affected by this pillar of light..."
Only one elderly man, leaning on a cane, stared at the dark beam of light with an extremely solemn expression.
Among all the powerful figures present, only this old man and the man beside him knew what the dark black pillar of light represented!
The old man was the Immortal Ape Village, and the man was Yuan Shou!
Looking at the dark pillar of light, Yuan Shou exclaimed with delight, his eyes filled with reverence, "It seems there really is a fragment of the Devil Master's soul within the Severed Soul City!"
"If the Devil Master absorbs it, he will be one step closer to restoring his strength."
"Don't be too happy yet." The village chief said with a solemn expression, "You have to look at the downsides of everything. Have you considered that the Devil Master aura you're releasing now, or the commotion caused by the Devil Master absorbing it later, might attract the attention of the rebels?"
"This fragment of the Devil Master's soul is clearly extraordinary."
The power it generated was too great!
Upon hearing this...
Yuan Shou also suppressed his surprise and became serious.
If that's really the case.
Whether the Devil Master's absorption of soul fragments is a good thing or a bad thing is unknown.
After all, the Devil Master has not yet recovered his strength, and if he is discovered, he will probably have no chance to resist!
"However, the Devil Master will definitely try to absorb this soul fragment." The village chief sighed softly and said, "It's time we started making preparations."
Yuan Shou was slightly startled.
Should we start the ceremony earlier?
The village chief nodded. "We'll begin after the Devil Master leaves Severed Soul City."
From the village chief's serious tone, Yuan Shou sensed a strong sense of crisis.
So he could only nod.
High-Latitude Realm.
In a realm shrouded in darkness.
The sky was shrouded in a dark, demonic aura, so dense that not a single ray of sunlight or moonlight could penetrate.
Both the earth and the buildings were black.
It felt extremely oppressive.
However, in addition to the extremely oppressive atmosphere, there was also a hint of wildness in the air.
This is not something that formed naturally in this realm.
Instead, all the people living in this realm possess a berserk factor, which causes the berserk factor to materialize and float in the air.
A certain place within the realm.
Inside the castle.
Three tall men, dressed in robes embroidered with black magic patterns, were discussing important matters.
And at that very moment...
The three of them simultaneously paled in shock.
"That aura?!"
"Huh? It disappeared again?"
"No, absolutely impossible! That person is completely dead. His seven souls and six spirits have been scattered by the three of us. There's absolutely no way he could be alive!"
"I think so too. After all, we only sensed that aura for a fleeting moment. Could it be because we've been too stressed lately?"
The man sitting in the center, with narrow eyes, said solemnly, "No, it's definitely not a perception error. How could someone at our level make such a basic mistake as a perception error?"
The other two nodded solemnly upon hearing these words.
"Is it possible that the aura emanating from a wisp of that person's remaining divine soul is what's causing this?"
Upon hearing this, the man in the center said in a deep voice, "No matter what, we must thoroughly investigate this matter. Even if it's just a remnant soul, we must find it and destroy it!"
"You haven't forgotten how terrifying that person was, have you?"
Upon hearing this, the other two men's faces turned grim.
They certainly won't forget.
Back then, if it weren't for uniting with those few Heavenly Lord Class forces...
The three of them alone might not be enough to kill that person.
That person's strength was terrifying, its terror level approaching that of a powerful being at the Heavenly Lord Class!
In some respects, it's even worse...
"Therefore, even if there is the slightest possibility of its revival, we must nip it in the bud!"
The other two nodded.
"Understood, brother. I'll send someone to investigate this matter immediately."
The man frowned and said, "You go yourself! We don't have enough clues; it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. What's the point of having those useless men search?"
"But... don't I have things to do right now...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the man sitting in the center slammed his hand on the table and stood up!
The black crystal round table in front of them vanished into nothingness!
An incomparably powerful aura surged out uncontrollably.
The man roared, "Everything else is trivial compared to this! Now, immediately, go and search for clues!"
Seeing this.
The man nodded and vanished from the spot in an instant.
The man let out a slight sigh.
Looking up through the skylight, all that could be seen outside was still a hazy gray.
His gaze was grave, as if he were recalling unpleasant memories.
"Looks like I should go see her..."
