The Savage Beast Ruler frowned as he looked at the place where the black-robed Demon Envoy had been. He could vaguely guess that the demonic cultivators had no intention of defending Southern Pass City.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the battlefield below. At this moment, there were only a few Death Soldiers and Demon Servants who were still resisting the Heavenly Chen Continent's army. These people were obviously prepared to die so that others could safely retreat.
"Keep them alive and capture them." He shouted at the several Dao Sovereign experts below. The Savage Beast Ruler wanted these Death Soldiers alive. Perhaps he could get some information from them, although the possibility was very small.
Hearing the Savage Beast Ruler's order, everyone prepared to capture these Death Soldiers and Demon Servants alive. However, these Death Soldiers and Demon Servants chose to commit suicide first.
They didn't give the Heavenly Chen Continent any chance at all. Not a single one was left alive. The Savage Beast Ruler's face was gloomy. He slowly landed on the walls of Southern Pass City. From here, he could clearly see that Southern Pass City had become a ghost town. As the demonic cultivators retreated, the city was filled with the corpses of civilians. It was obvious that the demonic cultivators had massacred the entire city.
After a fierce battle, the Heavenly Chen Continent had successfully retaken Southern Pass City. However, there wasn't a single person left alive in the city. Only corpses were left.
The Savage Beast Ruler's face was gloomy as he looked at the rotting corpses. Although he wanted to chase after the demonic cultivators, he didn't give the order in the end.
First of all, the demonic cultivators' army had completely disappeared after the Death Soldiers and Demon Servants stopped them. Moreover, if he rashly gave chase, it was very likely that he would fall into an ambush. He still didn't know how strong the demonic cultivators were. If two Demon Envoys suddenly appeared, the Savage Beast Ruler would be in danger. Therefore, the best plan now was to fight steadily. They would first occupy Southern Pass City and then continue to advance into Southern Wind Region.
The Savage Beast Ruler ordered the army to enter the city and count the number of dead in Southern Pass City. He also ordered the corpses to be buried to prevent the outbreak of the plague. At the same time, the Savage Beast Ruler strengthened the defenses of Southern Pass City and repaired the damaged city walls.
The battle of Southern Pass City seemed to have ended, but the Savage Beast Ruler wasn't happy at all. On the contrary, a faint sense of uneasiness shrouded his heart.
Unaware of the chaos in the outside world, Xiao Chen, who had been in seclusion in the Hundred Spirits Pool for nearly a month, had finally completely refined the sword seed.
As the sword seed was refined, the Heavenly Way Sword Embryo finally underwent some changes. The original Heavenly Way Sword Embryo was just a very ordinary sword embryo, but at this moment, it seemed to have been polished, and there were already some traces of a divine sword. However, there was still a long way to go before it could completely transform.
However, although it did not completely transform, the benefits that the sword seed brought to Xiao Chen were self-evident. With the transformation of the Heavenly Way Sword Embryo, the Heavenly Way Sword Embryo, which was known as one of the strongest special constitutions, finally revealed a hint of ferocity.
Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. A faint smile hung on his face. From the Heavenly Way Sword Embryo, Xiao Chen had already grasped an extremely abnormal technique, the Soul Slash.
With this upgrade, the Heavenly Way Sword Embryo could attack. As long as Xiao Chen willed it, the Heavenly Way Sword Embryo could release a strand of sword Qi. This sword Qi would not cause harm to the physical body, as its target was the soul.
After testing out the Soul Slash, he could release three strands of Soul Slash in his peak state, and the recovery time was only a single day.
Don't think that the Soul Slash was useless. On the contrary, the terror of the Soul Slash was definitely not weaker than a Heaven Tier martial skill.
This was because the Soul Slash was invisible, so it was very difficult for the enemy to sense it. Unless it was someone with extremely powerful Soul Force, it was clearly impossible to guard against. Once struck by the Soul Slash, the first thing one would feel was the intense pain of their soul being torn apart, followed by an instant of sluggishness.
Don't underestimate this instant of sluggishness. In a battle, perhaps this instant was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
Just imagine, if Xiao Chen suddenly released such a Soul Slash in a battle, it would definitely be impossible for the opponent to guard against it. Furthermore, it was very likely that the opponent would be able to secure victory.
Furthermore, being struck by the Soul Slash was different from physical injuries. It was very difficult to recover from it. Firstly, there were very few elixirs that could heal soul injuries. Furthermore, they were especially difficult to refine. Even if there were, the price would be frighteningly high.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, cultivators would rather suffer physical injuries than soul injuries. This was because it was too difficult to recover. Without the help of elixirs, it was impossible to recover in a short period of time by relying on oneself.
Because of this, once struck by Xiao Chen's Soul Slash, cultivators of the same level would never be able to recover for the rest of their lives. As for those of a higher level, unless they had the help of elixirs, it would be extremely difficult and slow for them to recover.
The terror of the Soul Slash made Xiao Chen extremely satisfied. This was definitely one of his trump cards. He had not expected that the first magical ability that the Celestial Sword Embryo had given him would be so terrifying.
Feeling satisfied, he stood up and gently patted the dust off his body. Originally, he had wanted to stay in the Hundred Spirits Pool for a while longer to break through his cultivation. However, after calculating the time, he realized that he had been in seclusion for almost a month. Thus, he decided to go back to the Dustless Residence first.
Anyway, he had the token that the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds had given him. He could enter the Hundred Spirits Pool at any time. Today, he would go back to see if anything had happened. After that, he would come back to break through his cultivation. It would not take too much time.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen directly left the Hundred Spirits Pool.
On the way back to the Dustless Residence, Xiao Chen had just returned to the Celestial Sword Peak when he heard from many disciples about the great changes in the Tianchen Continent.
The Demonic Cultivators had appeared en masse. There were no less than a million of them. Moreover, there were also some cultivators of the Tianchen Continent who called themselves Demonic Servants. There were more than ten million of them.
Now, apart from the Central Continent, the other four regions had been attacked by the Demonic Cultivators. A few days ago, in the battle of Nanguan City, under the leadership of the Savage Beast Ruler, the Tianchen Continent had succeeded in capturing Nanguan City.
However, what the world had not expected was that after losing Nanguan City, the Demonic Cultivators of the Nanfeng Region had actually collectively given up on the city. They had begun to engage in guerilla warfare against the Tianchen Continent's army.
They came and went without a trace. It was impossible to find the Demonic Cultivators. However, from time to time, the Demonic Cultivators would suddenly appear and catch the enemy off guard. Because of this, the Savage Beast Ruler had fallen into a difficult situation in the Nanfeng Region. Even the other Ruler, the Tyrant Fist Ruler, had gone to the Nanfeng Region to help the Savage Beast Ruler.
