Chapter 5832

The gap in strength was painfully clear.

Jared’s heart sank.

Moments earlier, he had poured most of his power into that strike-braiding chaotic celestial energy, Chaotic True Flame, and the annihilation edge of his sword intent. Such a blow would have sliced Mordain in two, yet against Soul Devourer, it barely survived the answering swipe and even left him reeling.

The old fiend was every bit as fearsome as the legends claimed his strength already far beyond Heavenly Immortal Realm Level Seven, and he had not yet fully healed.

Soul Devourer’s cold voice rang out, laced with mockery, like a cat toying with a mice. “Hmph. Pathetic. So that was your trump card? I expected better. Now, try this! Ten-Thousand-Soul Heart Devourer!”

He flashed a hand seal, and waves of demonic aura and soul energy boiled from him.

The claw detonated, dissolving into countless thread-thin soul chains as black as ink. They hissed like a nest of vipers, shooting from every angle toward Jared each strand sharp enough to pierce steel and venomous to the spirit. A single touch would gouge the mind from its vessel, leaving nothing but an empty shell.
