Truly refreshing
Soul Destruction hovered in the void stretching his limbs lazily. The joints of his body cracked one after another echoing across the sky. With each breath he inhaled dou qi across a radius of several miles into his body like a giant whale swallowing the sea. The air trembled with each pulse of energy that surged into him
Below him Su Qian and the others remained pressed to the ground their faces filled with horror. None of them had imagined that this black robed man would possess strength beyond all reason. Even Su Qian who stood at the peak of the Three Star Dou Sect could not resist the oppressive might and was unable to move even a finger
Was he a Dou Venerate or perhaps even stronger
When Su Qian noticed the foreign flame coiling around Soul Destruction his eyes dimmed and he let out a bitter sigh. It was indeed for the Fallen Heart Flame that he had come
The terrifying aura from Soul Destruction swept over the entire Jia Nan Academy. Suddenly his figure shifted and in the blink of an eye he appeared above the medicine warehouse of the academy. With a single downward motion of his palm the defensive array shattered instantly. In his grasp appeared a small white clothed figure no taller than a child
That girl continued gnawing on a piece of Fifth Grade spiritual wood known as Phoenix Green Wood. A dense spiritual essence flowed from the wood dissipating into the surrounding air as she munched carelessly. Soul Destruction raised a brow at the wastefulness
Quite the little glutton he muttered shaking his head slightly
The girl named Zi Yan who had been forcefully captured now showed clear irritation on her delicate little face. A surge of explosive power erupted from her body. Even though she was currently only at the level of a Dou King a single punch from her could smash a Dou Emperor into the ground without difficulty
Yet inside Soul Destruction's grasp she could not break free even slightly
Stay still now he said gently Brother means no harm You are called Zi Yan correct Brother just wants to take you to meet your family He smiled warmly and tossed her a few medicinal pills If you come with me I will give you some candy to eat
Really Zi Yan blinked warily Her eyes lit up the moment she heard the word family A longing she could not conceal appeared on her face
The two pills floating before her exuded a sweet enticing scent that made her stomach growl. Without thinking too much she opened her mouth and swallowed them both in one bite
Mmm tasty
Brother I feel kind of dizzy
As soon as the words left her lips Zi Yan began to sway. Her small body slumped forward her vision blurring as sleepiness swept over her like a tidal wave
That means the pills are working Soul Destruction smiled as he caught her small body and with a flap of his cloak soared into the air
Leave the child behind
Two sharp voices rang out. Twin peaks of Dou Sect energy burst forth from below as two elders flew toward Soul Destruction. It was the renowned duo of the academy Elder Qian and Elder Bai
Su Qian and the others let out sighs of relief and hope returned to their hearts
Soul Destruction did not give the approaching figures a second glance. He extended a hand and casually seized both of them from midair. With no more than a light squeeze two muffled cracks rang out. In a single breath both elders were turned to pulp in his grasp
Impossible
Su Qian and Hu Qian turned pale and the rest of the academy's disciples were plunged into despair
Reckless insects Soul Destruction scoffed coldly as he prepared to wipe out more of the academy's resistance. Just then a jade pendant at his waist lit up. His brow furrowed slightly and he glanced down at the pendant. There written in blood red light was a line of characters
Void Devouring Flame Approaches Hall Master Must Return Immediately
So it is finally coming
A sharp light passed through Soul Destruction's eyes. He turned his gaze toward the towering statue in the central square of Jia Nan Academy. The sculpture was of Dean Mang Tianchi standing proud and tall reaching nearly one hundred feet in height
This statue is due for replacement anyway he muttered and raised his leg
With a single kick the statue crumbled into dust
Tearing space with bare hands Soul Destruction burst into laughter as he vanished into the swirling rift behind him
I shall return Prepare to welcome the arrival of your king
His chilling voice echoed across the entire academy as dark clouds gathered overhead drowning the sun
System Notification Villain Value Plus Five Thousand
What should we do now
Hu Qian's face was bleak He had never expected such a disaster to fall upon the Jia Nan Academy
Su Qian took a deep breath We must try to contact the Dean
If that fails his voice grew quiet and heavy then we may have no choice but to dissolve the academy
Through space rifts Soul Destruction returned to the Soul Palace carrying the unconscious Zi Yan in his arms
Inside the main hall Elder Gui paced back and forth his face full of worry. When he saw the black robed figure stepping from the rift he finally exhaled in relief
Welcome back Hall Master
His eyes widened as he noticed the child in Soul Destruction's arms
Who is this
Soul Destruction grinned She is a treasure of great value Prepare more pills and treat her well
With Zi Yan under his control it was equivalent to holding half of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan in his hand. In the future her support would become a crucial pillar of his power. Not to mention that old dragon guarding the Tomb of the Ancient Emperor who possessed the strength of a peak Nine Star Dou Saint. If he could bring that one under his banner it would be a monumental gain
Yes sir
Though puzzled Elder Gui did not dare question further and bowed in response
You mentioned the Void Devouring Flame is on its way
Soul Destruction's finger tapped rhythmically against the armrest of his throne. His brow furrowed in thought
It has already reached the sub hall at the Fiery Plain. It is devouring collected soul bodies there and will likely arrive within half a day
Elder Gui's voice was grim
If it manages to refine the second ranked flame on the Heavenly Flame List how much stronger will it become
Soul Destruction gently ran his fingers over the Divine Stele beside his throne and let out a low laugh
At that moment his expression changed. His fingertips twitched ever so slightly
A crimson thread invisible to all others appeared at his fingertip vibrating violently. With a faint sound the thread snapped in two
Who has manipulated you
An eerie face appeared within his vision cloaked in pitch black flames that seemed to burn through space itself
Soul Destruction's expression turned pale
Blood River of the Four Heavenly Venerables has been killed
Or rather the puppet he sent in Blood River's place had been discovered and destroyed
Soul Destruction inhaled deeply
The Void Devouring Flame is more formidable than I imagined
It even saw through the puppet disguise
Still what puzzled him most was that the flame had not come to the main hall as expected but instead chosen to visit the fourth sub hall first
Something had clearly changed
Issue my orders Soul Destruction said in a low voice Evacuate the entire main hall
Yes sir
Elder Gui's figure vanished into the shadows
Soul Destruction now sat alone upon his throne eyes closed awaiting the arrival of the Void Devouring Flame
Roughly half a day later
His eyes snapped open and he looked toward the sky beyond the hall
It has arrived
With a deafening roar the skies darkened black waves of fire surging from the horizon like a flood. Space twisted violently unable to withstand the pressure
A mass of black clouds formed by high temperature flame expanded to cover the surrounding region for dozens of miles. From within the firecloud came a crushing aura that drowned the world in dread
Within the clouds the flames twisted to form a colossal face
Soul Destruction
Show yourself before this lord
Soul Destruction emerged from the hall and bowed respectfully
Your subordinate Soul Destruction greets Lord Void
