Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!

This was one of Xiang Shaoyun's strongest attacks, capable of killing a late-stage Devil Saint. With him attacking while invisible, the dark devourer devil was unprepared for the attack.

Even so, the dark devourer devil had a reaction speed worthy of a Great Devil Saint. He might not be able to see Xiang Shaoyun, but he reacted the moment the attack came. A wall of devilish energy rose before him and blocked the incoming punch. Xiang Shaoyun definitely did not expect his target to react so speedily. His attack was blocked, forcing him to hurriedly retreat.

"You can't escape!" The dark devourer devil was furious. He vowed to first kill this imperial nether devil.

He released a large amount of baleful blood poison that pursued Xiang Shaoyun incessantly, attempting to swallow him in a cloud of poison. Xiang Shaoyun had no way of escaping the poison. He hoped that the undying devil would give him some help, but that fellow merely stood there with his arms crossed across his chest, clearly not intending to make a move.

"Let's see how capable you are since you dare to steal from this prince," said the undying devil with a sneer.

He could sense that Xiang Shaoyun's actual strength wasn't as great as he had first imagined. He couldn't understand why this person would force himself to fight a stronger opponent. Since this person wanted to fight the dark devourer devil so badly, he decided to let this person have the dark devourer devil all for himself.

Surrounded by poison, the Nether Soul Dragon Headband completely protected Xiang Shaoyun from any serious injuries. Even so, he had no way of counterattacking the dark devourer devil.

Not far away, Xiang Shaoyun's main body had fully recovered. He muttered, "Gui Qi, time for you to make a move."

At his command, a ghostrune flew out. Gui Qi was much larger than before, his head looking even more ferocious now. Terrifying devilish energy swirled around his body, and he looked somewhat different than regular ghostrunes. He was akin to the ruler of all ghostrunes, while the others were all mere peasants.

He was a ghostrune with the ancestral blood flowing in his veins. After devouring the entirety of his clan members, he had finally recovered his glorious bloodline. He was now a third-stage Devil Saint. Perhaps this wasn't too high a cultivation, but his abilities were unique enough to be of great help to Xiang Shaoyun.

With a beat of his wings, Gui Qi instantly appeared near the dark devourer devil trying to kill Xiang Shaoyun's clone. He bombarded the dark devourer devil with a barrage of soul attacks. The incorporeal soul power was akin to a storm, slamming into the dark devourer devil's devil core, momentarily stunning the dark devourer devil.

With another beat of his wings, numerous runes floated through the air and headed toward the dark devourer devil. The dark devourer devil was able to quickly recover from the soul attack. He furiously swept his leg toward Gui Qi.

The kick was incredibly powerful, as though the sky itself was going to be kicked apart. Everyone knew that the ghostrunes had weak defenses. It did not seem likely that Gui Qi would be able to block this kick.

The only reason the dark devourer devil focused on Gui Qi was that he was sure Xiang Shaoyun was already dead. However, with the Nether Soul Dragon Headband's protection, Xiang Shaoyun had survived. He turned invisible once again and charged the dark devourer devil.

A single kick from the dark devourer devil shattered the runes Gui Qi sent out, and it continued forward, eventually reaching Gui Qi. Gui Qi shattered into pieces, but in truth, he had evaded during the very last moment.

Shadowflash!

This was an innate ability the ghostrunes had, an ability that Gui Qi had obtained after his bloodline had reached perfection. He reappeared somewhere else with a flicker and sent even more soul attacks at the dark devourer devil.

The dark devourer devil had not imagined that a mere ghostrune could actually survive his attack. The soul attacks slammed into his devil core, giving him a massive headache. Xiang Shaoyun took the chance and attacked with his chakram.

Nine Wheels Extermination!

Instantly, nine wheels shot toward the dark devourer devil from nine different directions. The dark devourer devil's reaction time was somewhat lacking due to the soul attack, allowing the wheels to land successfully. However, as a Great Devil Saint, his endurance was far beyond a regular Devil Saint's. He did sustain some injuries, but he still managed to knock the chakram away.

The dark devourer devil wanted to eliminate Xiang Shaoyun first, but Gui Qi constantly attacked his devil core. His head felt more and more uncomfortable, and he was no longer able to focus on killing his target.

"Time for you to die!" Xiang Shaoyun knew this was his last chance to kill this opponent. Once again, he used the Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist with all his strength.

Space collapsed as he rained down punches on the dark devourer devil, eventually smashing the devil's body into pieces. Despite the destroyed body, the dark devourer devil could still reconstruct his body. However, he first needed to free himself from Gui Qi's soul attacks.

The dark devourer devil started escaping, moving at such a fast speed that not even Xiang Shaoyun could keep up with him. Even so, Xiang Shaoyun had a look of confidence as he said, "You have an easy way out, but you insist on making things difficult. It's over."

Right after saying that, he pointed in a certain direction, clasped his fist, and swung his arm. Next, something flew over from that direction and crashed into the dark devourer devil. Before the dark devourer devil could fully recover, something knocked into him, stabbing directly into his forehead and nearly crushing his devil core. The object was none other than the chakram.

The chakram had been knocked away by the dark devourer devil. Xiang Shaoyun hadn't gotten the chance to retrieve the chakram, but the dark devourer devil was unfortunate enough to flee in the chakram's direction.

Before the chakram could completely kill the dark devourer devil, he mustered all his remaining strength and flew backward. He knew that he wouldn't survive, so he decided to fly toward Xiang Shaoyun.

"You'll die with me!" The dark devourer devil roared and self-detonated.

This time, he wasn't using the Devouring Eruption ability. He had used it earlier and couldn't use it again so soon. This was a true self-detonation with his life as the price. A terrifying explosion erupted, causing the entire area to shake. The surrounding devils were given a fright, and they fled in all directions. The ones who couldn't escape in time were hit by the shockwaves and nearly died. The self-detonation of a Great Saint was incredibly terrifying.

The undying devil who had fought the dark devourer devil earlier muttered, "If that kid can survive even this, I'll consider us even."

He did not believe that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to survive such an explosion.
