Chapter 253: Devastating Altar

When Shen Xiang opened his eyes, the altar before him became clearer. After devouring that魔頭's spirit soul, even though his soul was already dead, it had been extracted from his body.

Shen Xiang closed his eyes and looked into the spirit soul in his sea of consciousness. He found that it was about ten years old, more than twice its size before. He could feel his divine consciousness blooming many times and that everything around him was clearly sensed.

"Well, you have finally passed through the infant and toddler stages and have entered the growth stage. In this stage, you are divided into ten layers. When your spirit soul looks like a person in their twenties, you need to continue working hard," said Long Xueyi.

Shen Xiang smiled and said, "So now can I learn more things Little brat dragon, what stage is your spirit soul at Is it not the appearance of a little brat"

Long Xueyi giggled, saying, "My spirit soul is a beautiful woman. However, when I just emerged from the egg and changed into human form, this was all I could become."

Shen Xiang's mouth twitched, knowing that the appearance of this little greedy dragon was just a disguise. He realized she was actually an elderly woman. For such women who pretend to be cute and childish, he had great contempt.

"When you leave here, I will teach you more divine abilities!" said Long Xueyi.

Shen Xiang rubbed his chin and said with a bad smile, "Little girl, I want to see your real appearance!"

"I won't show you." Long Xueyi said with a pouting, "You're too bad. I will show you when I feel like it or when my body grows up!"

Shen Xiang stretched lazily and walked towards the altar in front of him. The altar was shaped like a step, with many steps. He estimated that there were roughly over a thousand such steps, and the top was a large platform. Four corners had big poles erected on them, which were carved with many spiritual patterns, while the middle was a giant and fierce statue that resembled a demon.

The whole altar looked majestic, making one feel intimidated. Under the dim and gloomy light, there was a strange feeling that made people feel frightened just by seeing it.

"A huge altar like this, didn't the righteous people of former times discover it" Shen Xiang said with puzzlement towards this imposing altar.

"The altar was built later on, being constructed by the priest and some people of demons and beasts." said White Gloom.

Shen Xiang took a deep breath, realizing that he would have to use the heavenly dragon dharma seal to completely destroy this altar.

"You damned demon, your plan ends here!" said Shen Xiang with a sinister smile as he began releasing the true qi within his body through the incantations in his divine arts. Using strange magical power, he activated the true qi instantly directing it towards the altar in the sky.

True qi from all directions rushed over. Though there was mostly demon qi here, the components were mostly spiritual qi with more energy than ordinary spiritual qi. Although it was too violent, it didn't affect Shen Xiang's ability to use the heavenly dragon dharma seal. He had previously used it once, and its power was more powerful than he imagined. Now that his spirit soul had grown much stronger and reached the Wu stage of real martial arts, his magical power was more profound, absorbing more demon qi.

Over hundreds of miles in the sky, black clouds were turbulent as a large amount of demon qi rushed towards Shen Xiang. He was about to release an extremely powerful heavenly dragon dharma seal, completely destroying the altar!

The disciples of righteous sects outside were looking up at the sky, feeling extremely tense as they sensed a strong pressure coming from the altar. They didn't know what happened, but recently, they rarely encountered attacks from large numbers of beast demons.

Behind Shen Xiang appeared two huge fire wings. He flew into the air, staying far away from the altar and clenching his fists tightly, veins popping up on his arms as he exuded a powerful aura of true qi and spirit energy.

He constantly recited spells, getting faster over time. He kept repeating the section that concentrated spiritual energy around him, using his true qi and magical power frantically within his body and consciousness. He quickly consumed himself.

Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly as the entire Southern Vast Land shook. Even from outside the Southern Vast Land, they could sense it. The terrifying thing was that the trembling accompanied by mournful howls of spirits, like the cries from hell, were very frightening.

"The spirits trapped in the Southern Vast Land are all crying bitterly!" said White Gloom with a cold laugh, "Once the altar collapses, they can never rise again!"

"Why" asked Shen Xiang while still gathering strength. "If the three realms intersect, can't they be saved when demons from demon realm come"

"No, the altar and these spirits' souls are connected. Once the altar is destroyed, their souls will also be destroyed. That's how they were bound when they built the altar, and the altar needs their power! However, there are still some that haven't formed soul connections with the altar," said White Gloom.

The Southern Vast Land seemed to plunge into hell, with mournful cries and continuous trembling. The sky was covered by dark clouds as the demon qi rushed towards one direction, making disciples from righteous sects feel very concerned.

"Almost done!" said Shen Xiang deeply breathing. He recited another spell, and the huge black aura above the altar suddenly turned into a giant black dragon claw.

This claw was very large, covering more than ten altars if they were to compare. Seen from a distance, it looked like a city of great size.

Shen Xiang frowned as he felt his spirit consciousness draining rapidly. It had condensed into magical power and released instantly. The black dragon claw was already formed, with scaly patterns clearly visible, the sharp claws looking lifelike like a real dragon's。

“Let it be destroyed! Heavenly Dragon Dharma Seal, open!” shouted Shen Xiang. The black giant dragon claw sank suddenly as a wave of air pressure erupted, spreading outwards and blowing Shen Xiang away continuously.

The giant claw pressed onto the altar, causing a group of spirits to let out cries filled with despair and howls. They were released together with the thunderous explosion.

The altar was hit by such a huge heavenly dragon dharma seal, causing the land to tremble like calm water suddenly being hit by a stone, creating ripples everywhere.

However, now countless dust and rocks carried by the strong wind hit parts of the altar, leaving no trace of destruction wherever they passed. Forests and various mountains were torn apart by the strong shockwave, with thunderous noises echoing non-stop as if heaven had collapsed and hell was unleashed. It felt like the end of the world.

Shen Xiang's true qi and spirit consciousness were almost exhausted, only supported by a small amount of phoenix true qi enabling him to release powerful fire wings for flight. However, even the crazy wind blew him off his feet.

“Did the altar get destroyed” Shen Xiang could only see fragments of debris being blown by strong wind, covering the sky. He was surrounded by black and dark stone fragments and wood pieces. He didn't expect that the strength of the heavenly dragon dharma seal was so powerful.

“Destroyed! This is the result of the heavenly dragon dharma seal, the altar itself. The altar contains great power, which becomes so powerful when it explodes!" said Long Xueyi.

Shen Xiang also thought this was reasonable, otherwise his attack could compare to a nirvana realm. Even though he was as powerful now, it couldn't be mentioned at the same level with nirvana realm. A single finger from a nirvana realm could crush him to death.s cycle of destruction and rebirth was like a repetition of reincarnation.However, the powerful bone spirit remained intact inside his bones. This was where he stored his physical essence, and with th...
