Chapter 5439

Onneas lifted the jade cup from the table, took a sip of spirit tea, and continued, “This brings us to the ancient Celestial Battle.”

“Back then, Soul Devourer had mastered the Scorching Soul Devouring Technique to perfection, capable of devouring divine souls and refining celestial essence. He slaughtered nearly thirty percent of the cultivators from other races in level nine.”

“He even dared to covet the power of higher dimensions, stirring up a storm of blood and chaos in level nine, and even severely injuring the Celestial King at that time.”

“Later, the seven major forces of level nine joined hands, assembling a hundred heavenly immortals and a thousand peak Human Immortal cultivators to confront him in the Immortal Abyss.”

“That battle raged for a full three years, shattering the dimension barriers of the Immortal Abyss in over a hundred places. Four of the seven big sect leaders perished, and more than half of the heavenly immortals fell, only then managing to wound Soul Devourer’s physical body severely. Even so, his divine soul remained formidable, and despite the seven big sect leaders exhausting their final celestial power, they were unable to annihilate it.”

At this point, Onneas’ expression grew more solemn. “As long as the divine soul remains intact, there’s a chance for him to return. To eliminate this threat forever, the three remaining sect leaders sacrificed their nascence to set up the Nonet Soul Sealing Array, forcibly separating Soul Devourer’s divine soul and suppressing it in level six’s Roaring Storm Church, where the realm’s barrier is weakest. They also enlisted several top charm masters from level nine to inscribe celestial charms on a bell.”

“This bell, known as the Roaring Storm Bell, was inscribed with charms capable of suppressing the Soul Devourer. They originally thought that the scarce celestial energy in level six, combined with the array’s suppression, would eventually erode his soul completely. However, they never expected that after ten thousand years, the Roaring Storm Bell would be stolen. Therefore, Soul Devourer broke through the seal, and even his subordinates remained unextinguished after all that time.”
