Chapter 496: Yang Devouring Devil
The yang devouring devil was humanoid, much taller than humans, and had an ugly face and a pair of pointy ears that looked like dog ears. His skin resembled the skin of a frog, with protrusions all over his body. Numerous veins ran all over his body, and he stood there completely naked with his disgusting appearance.
The yang devouring devils enjoyed absorbing yang energy to grow their strength, with their prey being males of any life form. In this yang devouring devil’s eyes, Xiang Shaoyun looked fair and tender, emitting a youthful masculinity, and was his favorite type of food.
"Pretty boy, be good and don't resist. I like your type, so I will treat you nicely," said the yang devouring devil as he strode toward Xiang Shaoyun while salivating.
Xiang Shaoyun frowned. "Disgusting thing, die!"
He dashed forward and sent a Hurricane Kick toward the yang devouring devil. A powerful hurricane crashed forward. He might be fast, but his speed was nothing special in the eyes of the yang devouring devil, who was a fourth-stage Devil Emperor.
The yang devouring devil dodged the attack and pounced on Xiang Shaoyun. When he neared Xiang Shaoyun, a long tongue shot out to lick Xiang Shaoyun's face. Xiang Shaoyun quickly dodged to the side and threw a series of Lightning Bolt Fists. The yang devouring devil merely swatted the fist energies away with his palm before grabbing at Xiang Shaoyun's chest with one of his hands.
Xiang Shaoyun reacted almost immediately, but the yang devouring devil still managed to caress his chest. The disgust of having been caressed by this yang devouring devil gave him goosebumps.
"Tsk, tsk, what a muscular body. I like it," teased the yang devouring devil.
Xiang Shaoyun couldn't take it anymore and roared, "Disgusting bastard! You dare to take advantage of me? I will rip you apart!"
He released the Nether Soul Domain and enveloped the yang devouring devil with it.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Eight chains shot out from different directions and wrapped around the yang devouring devil. The Imperial Nether Prison had never failed Xiang Shaoyun before. For the very first time, it failed him.
"Nether Soul Domain!" the yang devouring devil cried out in alarm before transforming into a clump of fire that burned the chains into nothingness.
Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow. "What thick yang energy. Something like this is the perfect nemesis of my nether soul power."
The Nether Soul Domain was powered by soul power, which was a power of yin weak to the powers of the yang attribute. Of course, the amount of yang energy this yang devouring devil had was still not enough for him to break out of the Nether Soul Domain. He could only do so if he possessed a unique flame or if his level of strength was much higher than Xiang Shaoyun's soul power. After all, this was Xiang Shaoyun's personal space where he was the ultimate overlord.
"Y-you're a noble Imperial Nether Clan prince? Y-your servant knows his mistake. Please spare this lowly servant. I won't ever dare offend you anymore," begged the terrified yang devouring devil.
"You know the Imperial Nether Clan?" Xiang Shaoyun asked in astonishment.
"Yes, of course I do! The Imperial Nether Clan is an imperial devil clan. Who wouldn't know them? This servant did not mean to offend you, esteemed prince. Please spare this lowly one's life," the yang devouring devil continued begging.
Xiang Shaoyun said, "Tell me more about the Imperial Nether Clan."
The yang devouring devil blanked out as he thought, You're an Imperial Nether Clan prince. Why do you need me to tell you more? Unless...
"You're not an Imperial Nether Clan prince! You're a human! You dare to lie? I'll absorb all your yang energy!" shouted the yang devouring devil as he transformed into a fireball and shot toward Xiang Shaoyun.
As a response, Xiang Shaoyun sent his soul over. His soul was as powerful as a top Emperor, and with a kick, he sent the yang devouring devil flying away. The kick broke the teeth of the yang devouring devil and sent him crashing heavily onto the ground.
"W-wait, y-you're really an Imperial Nether Clan prince! Mercy...please, mercy..." When the yang devouring devil was attacked, he could sense a suppression on both his bloodline and cultivation base. This space was completely the same as the legendary Nether Soul Domain. Thus, he quickly begged for forgiveness.
"Answer my question, or you die now," said Xiang Shaoyun. He knew that a majority of the devils did not fear death, but surprisingly, this yang devouring devil was not one of them. Just one kick was enough to make him submit.
"Yes, yes. The Imperial Nether Clan is one of the Four Paramount Devil Clans. They possess the most noble of bloodlines, the most supreme of devilish powers, and rule a vast territory, having the loyalty of countless devils...," the yang devouring devil started singing the Imperial Nether Clan praises.
Xiang Shaoyun stopped him, "I don't need you to tell me all that. I'll ask, and you'll answer. In which layer of the Devil Domain is the Imperial Nether Clan residing?"
There was already no doubt that the Imperial Nether Clan was part of the devils. What he wanted to know more now was which layer they stayed in.
"I don't really know. I think they reside across the seventh to the ninth layers?" answered the yang devouring devil.
"You don't even know that? How useless are you?" Xiang Shaoyun berated him.
Even you, a member of the Imperial Nether Clan, don't know that. How am I supposed to know? cursed the yang devouring devil inwardly. However, he still smiled and said, "This lowly one is too weak to know information like that."
Xiang Shaoyun said in disappointment, "I heard there is an Imperial Nether Clan site not far from here. Is that right?"
The yang devouring devil did not dare to lie, "Yes, but the nether prison devils are guarding that place. Nobody can approach."
"Splendid. Bring me there!" said Xiang Shaoyun in excitement.
The yang devouring devil wanted to say no, but he shut his mouth when he saw Xiang Shaoyun's murderous eyes. The yang devouring devil was worthy of being a devil that had resided in the third layer for many years. He safely led Xiang Shaoyun around numerous territories of powerful devils as they approached the site.
A few days later, the two arrived at a mountainous area. This place was filled with devil trees and vines, and there was thick devilish energy in the air. Occasionally, the eerie whistling of wind rang out, sending a chill up one's spine.
This was one of the few rare areas in the Devil Domain with fertile soil. A group of nether prison devils resided here. As per the legends, the nether prison devils physically resembled humans, but they were extremely skinny, and their faces were ferocious. Furs and scales ran along their bodies, and they were equipped with devil tridents. They resembled yakshas yet were also different from yakshas.
It was rumored that the Nether Prison Devil Clan was a subsidiary clan of the Imperial Nether Clan, and they even had a tiny amount of the Imperial Nether Clan's bloodline in their blood.
An Imperial Nether Clan abandoned site was here, and the nether prison devils were responsible for guarding this place, preventing anyone from disturbing or destroying the place.
When Xiang Shaoyun arrived with the yang devouring devil, he immediately felt his blood roil. Something not far ahead was summoning him, calling him over.
