I am Saint Sovereign

"The Soul Devouring Nightmare actually discovered us?"    

"What's so strange about that? This kind of Ancient Demon's IQ isn't any lower than a human's, and instead all of them have Awakened their spirits. It seems that this time, the odds are against us!"    

Meng Wudao looked at Yao Guang and asked, "With your knowledge, is there nothing you can do?"    

Yao Guang bitterly smiled as he shook his head and said, "Now that I've become the meat of a man, I can only take one step at a time!"    

At this moment, an earth-shattering sound was suddenly heard from a distance.    

"Boom!"    

Yao Guang and Meng Wudao's hearts shook. The two of them looked into the distance, where the Soul Devouring Nightmare rested. Immediately after, a violent shockwave came over and actually sent the two flying.    

Very quickly, the two of them were thrown onto a cliff. Yao Guang waved his hand, and a flash of lightning flew towards them from the ground. With Yao Guang in his grasp, he forcefully thrust the lightning bolt into the ground.    

"Crack!"    

The lightning deeply sank into the hard ground, and Yao Guang finally stabilized his body. Then, he grabbed the exhausted Meng Wudao.    

After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the shockwave finally passed. Yao Guang, Meng Wudao, finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that Yao Guang had slowly stood up and was staring at the source of the shockwave. "Let's go over right now!"    

Saying that, he took out a spirit recovering pellet and gave it to Meng Wudao, saying, "Take this pellet, it will help you recover quickly! When you recover, come find me! " As he said that, the jade light instantly disappeared and turned into a golden ray of light that flew northwest. Meng Wudao, on the other hand, sat down in meditation after consuming the pill.    

On the other side, in the northwest side of the square, there was a flat area with a rare flat green stone floor. In the middle of this square stood a ten meter tall, unlettered stone monument.    

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshan excitedly said: "Xiao Bei! Bring in the Elders of the Carefree Sect and those subsidiary powers! "    

"Yes!" Master! " Right now, in order to survive, Sikong Bei did not dare to resist at all. Although he did not know what his teacher wanted to do, but after coming to this enormous monument, he felt inexplicably nervous.    

One could see that a large portion of the Elders of the Xiao Yao Sect were actually present, and among them was even Bai Xiaoqing. At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, and it was obvious that she had suffered heavy injuries. Her impeccably beautiful face was like a wilting flower, but her eyes flashed with a cold light.    

The moment he saw Bai Xiaoqing, his eyes lit up. After walking to her side, he smiled and said, "I really did not expect that the light would actually throw you away. In this dangerous place, a little girl like you will only die!"    

Bai Xiaoqing gritted her teeth, her jade-like hands tightly clenched as she calmly said, "You won't succeed! Yao Guang will definitely come and save me! "    

"Hey!" By the time he arrives, you will already be dead. This hall master said that he will make that little bastard pay the price, can you see that? Yaoguang cared a lot about you, you must be someone very important to him! If I kill you, he will definitely feel pain! " Xiao Yuanshan sinisterly shouted.    

Bai Xiaoqing's eyes revealed a trace of gloom. She felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. That's right! Was he considered a very important person in Yao Guang's heart? Would he care if I died? Perhaps it would be a little sad.    

But at this moment, Bai Xiaoqing instantly recalled the scene of Wang Xiaoyu dying in the arms of Yao Guang in the Absolute Dragon Secret Realm.    

On the side, Sikong Bei couldn't control the doubt in his heart and asked: "Master, what's your motive for capturing them?"    

Xiao Yuanshan suddenly began to laugh loudly. His tone carried a sense of pride that was difficult to conceal as he said: "Since the matter is right in front of you, Master will tell you!" Subsequently, he turned his head to the nameless stone tablet in the middle of the plaza and said with a trace of excitement in his eyes, "There's an Ancient Demon, 'Soul Devouring Nightmare', sealed here!"    

Sikong Bei was instantly shocked when he heard this. Although he did not know what the Soul Devouring Nightmare was, after hearing about the Ancient Demon Empress, he also understood what his master intended to do.    

Xiao Yuanshan continued, "These people are naturally prepared to offer their blood to the demons!"    

At this time, after a Carefree Sect elder heard this, he shouted sternly, "Xiao Yuanshan! If you do this, the Sect Leader will not let you go! "    

"Humph!" Rest assured, before long, I will have that old fellow Ling Tianya accompany you! This Nether Realm is the place where you rest in peace! "    

When the elders of the other subsidiary powers saw this, they hastily chattered: "Hall Master Xiao! We have no intention to offend you! Please be magnanimous! Let us go! "    

"Right, right!" We promise to withdraw from the Footloose Sect! "    

"…"    

Facing these fence-sitters, that Carefree Sect elder's face was ashen, but there was nothing he could do.    

At this time, Xiao Yuanshan coldly laughed, "It is too late to say anything now. From the moment you entered the Nether Realm, everything has been predestined!" After saying this, Xiao Yuanshan suddenly turned around. The profound arts in his body frantically circulated, and his entire body was instantly covered by a dark red colored spiritual light. Immediately after, his body felt like it was a black hole that was being swallowed as a suction force crazily surged out.    

Seeing that, Sikong Bei who was to the side was shocked, and he involuntarily said: "This …. This Heaven Swallowing Transformation is a very abnormal absolute art within the [Spirit Gathering Divine Art]. Once it is activated, it can gather the flesh and blood essence of living beings together. If it is refined by a martial artist, it would naturally increase one's cultivation, but to activate it would require one to pay a hundred years of longevity as a sacrifice.    

Sikong Bei was shocked to see his Master actually paying such a heavy price.    

He grabbed at the air, and all of the elder's clothes instantly burst open, revealing a pained expression. Immediately after, all of the blood and flesh in his body instantly exploded, turning into a bloody mist that filled the sky, causing everyone to feel their hearts jump, and at this moment, a violent suction force suddenly descended, sucking away the blood mist that filled the sky, and forming a head-sized blood ball in front of Xiao Yuanshan.    

However, that Carefree Sect elder did not die. Because this was the Nether Realm, the elder's soul actually slowly floated in front of Xiao Yuan Shan, and when he saw his own flesh and blood floating in front of Xiao Yuan Shan, he suddenly let out a scream. He wanted to escape, but Xiao Yuan Shan had paid a huge price to open the Heaven Swallowing Transformation, how could he let him escape so easily?    

Very quickly, the terrifying suction force sucked back the soul that was flying in the air. The internal pressure quickly crushed the soul into pieces, turning it into specks of light that were absorbed into the blood ball.    

When the many captive elders saw how bloody Xiao Yuanshan's methods were, they were all frightened to the point of trembling. Some of them with poor mental fortitude were already lying on the ground, despairingly watching the scene in front of them.
