146: Chapter 146 No matter what kind of celestial deity you are, you all have to kneel before me!

After the Sect Master and his wife of the Immortal Soul Sect died,

their souls were preserved by the immortal soul bell,

and they had been in a deep slumber ever since!

That's right!

The child who escaped from the Immortal Realm

was none other than the current Soul Devouring Daoist.

He founded the Soul Devouring Pavilion in the Demon Spirit Realm,

and his goal was actually very simple:

to recruit a large number of Disciples with outstanding Soul Power

to provide nourishment for his parents' immortal souls to recover!

After more than 400 years of effort,

he finally recruited over 10,000 Soul Devouring Pavilion Disciples,

which was enough to awaken his parents' immortal souls!

The Soul Devouring Daoist originally planned to take advantage of the war between the Demon Spirit Realm and the Taixu Realm

to slaughter more Taixu Realm Cultivators,

refining them all into vengeful spirits,

and then personally kill all the Soul Devouring Pavilion Disciples

to awaken his parents' immortal souls.

He didn't expect to encounter Jiang Lan's group as soon as he arrived at the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect in the Taixu Realm,

resulting in all the Soul Devouring Pavilion Disciples being wiped out,

so he had no choice but to awaken his parents' immortal souls ahead of schedule!

Jiang Lan's eyelids twitched wildly;

he could clearly feel that

the pressure emitted by these two immortal souls was even stronger than his Revered Master, Yu Hengzi!

They were at least at the Spirit Transformation Realm or higher!

"Gulu~ Gulu~"

The Nine-Tailed Ice Fox was Jiang Lan's life-bound Divine Beast,

so it could naturally sense Jiang Lan's thoughts.

The hundred-zhang ferocious fox let out a roar toward the sky,

shrank to the size of a palm,

and jumped onto Jiang Lan's shoulder.

Jiang Lan no longer hesitated;

man and fox formed hand seals simultaneously,

their movements surprisingly synchronized,

as they unleashed an Integration Seal!

Little Ice Fox gradually merged into Jiang Lan's body,

and Jiang Lan's aura changed drastically!

White Spiritual Qi instantly enveloped his entire body,

four long fangs grew from the corners of his mouth,

his fingernails turned directly into sharp claws,

and two white Spiritual Qi tails grew out from his backside.

Jiang Lan's cultivation even directly broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm

and stepped into the Golden Core Realm!

Jiang Lan instantly felt his mind filled with nothing but the urge to kill!

A bloodthirsty sensation rushed through his whole body,

strands of black Devilish Qi emerged from within Jiang Lan,

and he actually showed signs of demonic transformation!

Jiang Lan shouldered the great blood saber, which was now larger than an ox,

his eyes full of bloodthirsty slaughter.

"I don't care if you're some Nine Heavens Venerable

or an Immortal Realm deity,

before me, Jiang Lan,

you all must kneel!"

Jiang Lan vanished from the spot!

The next second, he appeared directly above the two Immortal figures,

slashing out a ten-thousand-zhang Saber Qi

carrying the power of the Spirit Transformation Realm,

cleaving down toward the faces of the two Immortal figures!

"Such heavy Devilish Qi! Wan'er, it's just as well that we get rid of this Devil Head today,

consider it contributing our humble bit of strength to the world!"

The two Immortal figures drew a pair of male and female Immortal swords,

together slashing out a ten-thousand-zhang Immortal light,

which collided head-on with the ten-thousand-zhang demonic light Jiang Lan had unleashed!

Boom!

Jiang Lan's face turned pale,

a sweetness welled up in his throat,

and he spat out a mouthful of blood,

blown backward by the shockwave!

Jiang Lan leaned on his blood saber and stood up tremblingly.

"I am a demon?

Then what are you, who just swallowed ten thousand souls in one breath?

What does that make you?

Stop playing the sanctimonious ghost!"

"Die for me!"

Jiang Lan's fiery red robes fluttered without wind,

the fire spiritual power within him circulating,

as the heavenly demon blood saber instantly grew to a hundred zhang, ignited with raging flames.

Jiang Lan raised the heavenly demon blood saber high with both hands,

and suddenly a dragon's roar shattered the sky,

as the hundred-zhang fire saber slashed out a thousand-zhang fire dragon!

The thousand-zhang fire dragon soared into the sky,

charging toward the two immortal souls!

A cold sneer curled on the male immortal soul's lips.

"A mere ant from the Lower Realm,

you dare dream of shaking this Immortal?"

The male immortal soul gripped his Immortal sword with both hands

and slashed out a ten-thousand-zhang Immortal light,

directly splitting the thousand-zhang fire dragon in half!

Jiang Lan's face turned the color of pig liver from pain,

he spat out three more mouthfuls of blood,

was sent flying a hundred zhang,

and his vision went dark, nearly causing him to faint on the spot!

There was no other way; the difference in strength was simply too great.

In life, this immortal soul was the Sect Master of a second-rate Sect in the Immortal Realm.

Although he had only recovered 80% of his Soul Power now,

he was at least equivalent to an Integration Realm Cultivator!

After Jiang Lan merged with the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox, although his cultivation had reached the Golden Core Realm,

there were three major Realms between the Golden Core Realm and the Integration Realm.

"Husband, let's not waste words with him.

Kill this Devil Head quickly,

collect more souls in the Lower Realm, and our whole family can return to the Immortal Realm!

After all, immortal souls cannot stay in the Lower Realm for too long!"

The male immortal soul flashed in front of Jiang Lan,

looking at the heavily injured Jiang Lan on the ground,

a cold sneer playing on his lips.

"You ant of the Lower Realm.

To have this Immortal personally send you on your way

is truly your greatest honor!

In a moment, this Immortal will personally find everyone connected to you in this Realm,

string them all together, and eat them; only then will they taste good!"

The male immortal soul looked like he was enjoying himself,

licked his lips,

and held his Immortal sword, stabbing it toward Jiang Lan's chest

with a vicious thrust!

"Stop your yapping and playing ghost!"

Jiang Lan wanted to get up and slash the immortal soul before him,

but his injuries were too severe;

he couldn't crawl up at all,

and could only watch helplessly as the Immortal sword fell.

Inside the immortal ring, within the High-Grade Soul Devouring Insect Rearing Array,

densely packed black demonic Soul Devouring Worms were flying,

numbering as many as several hundred thousand!

They had now finished eating all the remaining demon pills

and had undergone two more evolutions.

Now, each one was pitch-black and shiny, the size of a fist,

and they all emitted the pressure of the Peak Golden Core Realm!

That's right!

These were precisely Jiang Lan's life-bound demonic Soul Devouring Worms!

Suddenly, all the Soul Devouring Worms were startled

and flew frantically out of the immortal ring,

because they sensed

that their Revered Master, Jiang Lan, was about to be in mortal danger!

If the Revered Master died,

the life-bound demonic insects would also die instantly.

Out of instinctive reaction, these demonic insects began to protect their Revered Master!

Just as the Immortal sword was an inch away from Jiang Lan's heart,

countless black shadows flew out from the immortal ring on Jiang Lan's hand!

At a speed visible to the naked eye, they directly devoured the Immortal sword and half of the male immortal soul's body clean!

The male immortal soul looked as if he had seen a ghost,

fleeing backward frantically,

instantly retreating a hundred zhang!

"Soul Devouring Worms! He actually has such demonic creatures as Soul Devouring Worms!"

The male immortal soul was full of terror,

the corners of his mouth twitching,

and veins bulging on his forehead.

Having half of his body devoured by the Soul Devouring Worms,

the male immortal soul was now baring his teeth in pain!

Upon hearing the words 'Soul Devouring Worms',

the female immortal soul and the Soul Devouring Daoist also looked as if they had seen a ghost,

their bodies shaking violently!

Soul Devouring Worms were an ancient taboo existence in the Immortal Realm.

The reason Immortals in the Immortal Realm could enjoy endless life

and achieve longevity was that they continuously devoured the souls of Lower Realm Cultivators and Spirit Beasts.

At the cost of the souls of Lower Realm Cultivators and Spirit Beasts,

the Immortals of the Immortal Realm constantly provided themselves with a steady stream of vitality,

thereby achieving the goal of eternal longevity.

But because the Immortals of the Immortal Realm had devoured souls for a long time,

over time,

they themselves gradually became high-quality soul spirits.

And in this cultivation world,

the natural enemy of soul spirits was these Soul Devouring Worms!

Soul Devouring Worms could devour all Talismanic Incantations,

Magic Treasures, and even techniques,

but they loved devouring souls above all else,

which was how they got the name 'Soul Devouring Worms'.

Ten thousand years ago, a Soul Devouring Worm accidentally entered the Immortal Realm

and began devouring Immortals.
