Rebirth: City Sovereign

In the dark sky, a sword flashed across the clouds and fell straight from Ye Kai's hands.    

At this very moment, in the entire Heavenly Portal of East, other than the crimson red sword light that covered everything and blotted out the sky, there was nothing else that could be seen clearly.    

Lightning, black flames, these two supremely powerful soul energies merged together, accurately bombarding the center of the eyeball of the Wood of Profaneness.    

After being cut by Ye Kai's sword, the crystal clear branch of the Wood of Profaneness began to tremble, and the tree, which was thousands of metres tall, also began to shake. Following the thunderbolt and the black flames spreading from the eyeball all the way to the tree, branches and leaves started to break off from the middle or sides, and fresh red blood spewed out from the cut.    

"Owl!"    

The Wood of Profaneness released a sharp cry of pain, and the branches that were inserted into Ye Kai's body suddenly retracted before they could even extract a bit of the blood and Qi from his body.    

Amidst the blood-curdling screams, they were covered in lightning and black flames. The Wood of Profaneness finally started to show signs of collapsing, and seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.    

It seemed that Ye Kai had finally succeeded in condensing the power of three great Soul Level's strike.    

Ye Kai stood in the air, quietly looking at the Divine Tree that was constantly cracking, his face expressionless, and said indifferently.    

"The result of blaspheming the gods is ultimately death. To be killed by me is also your fate, right?"    

After he finished speaking, Ye Kai tightly gripped the Red Crystal Immortal Slaying Sword, and flew to those eyes that were constantly trembling. Just as he was about to give the Wood of Profaneness the final strike, a change happened.    

"Pa, pa, pa!"    

Behind Ye Kai, a clear and rhythmic round of applause slowly came.    

Then, a man wearing a suit slowly walked out from within the Wood of Profaneness's body with a grin.    

"I never thought that there would be someone with the power to destroy Wood of Profaneness in this tiny realm."    

"White-Clothed Sword Immortal, your reputation is well-deserved."    

The man had a standard Western face with deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, blood-red eyes, and two fleshy feet on his forehead. Beneath the pale suit, the top was propped up by strong muscles.    

No matter how he looked at it, it was at most a somewhat strong and ordinary demon. However, the moment Ye Kai saw the male demon appear, his body slightly trembled.    

Slowly opening his mouth, Ye Kai's dark green eyes looked straight at the male demon and said his name.    

"Samer."    

Yes, the strong demon in front of him who looked normal and was wearing a suit was the strongest in all of Devil Clan over the past ten million years. He was also the only Sovereign King that the seven leaders of the Devil Clan served.    

Demon King, Samer!    

After he finished speaking, Ye Kai seemed to have realized something, his face darkened as he spoke again with an ice-cold voice.    

"No, you are not Samer.    

Hearing Ye Kai's words, Samer shrugged his shoulders, showing that he did not agree with it.    

"Are you joking? Why would I, the Demon King Samer, need a doppelganger?"    

The memories of his previous self flooded into his mind like a tidal wave, Ye Kai continued.    

"Before you die, extract a sliver of your soul and store it in the Wood of Profaneness's seed, right?"    

Until now, Ye Kai finally understood why Samer, whose strength was not his own to begin with, was unable to kill him completely and could only seal his body.    

Devil Clan were rare and powerful races in the world, and they were the same as Blood Clan, Sea Scale Clan, and so on. As long as the soul remained, the physical body could not be completely destroyed.    

It was precisely when Samer was about to be killed by his previous self that Samer took out a part of his soul and placed it inside the Wood of Profaneness's seed, thus preventing his flesh from being completely killed by Ye Kai.    

Right now, when the Heavenly Portal of East was about to be destroyed and Samer's body was about to be revived using the spirit energy from the immortal gate, this divine soul clone no longer had any reason to hide.    

Hearing Ye Kai's words, Samer was stunned at first, but after that he grinned and laughed with a twisted expression.    

"Hahahaha, not bad, that's right."    

"You have good eyes, even Berial and Lucifer do not know about this matter, but you can guess it. If I was born a little earlier, I might very well be someone of the same level as me. "    

Just as Samer finished speaking, Ye Kai had already appeared above Samer's head. With Red Crystal Longsword in hand, he slashed his sword towards Samer's head.    

"Clang!"    

A crisp metallic sound rang out as sparks flew in the air.    

Samer's clone held a purple crystal spirit stone sword above his head, blocking Ye Kai's sword.    

"Tsk." Samer pointed to a circular Magic Formation that was suffused with a purple glow, separating Ye Kai's Red Crystal Longsword and the others.    

"Even if it is an avatar, do you know what will happen if you attack me?"    

"Get out of the way."    

Ye Kai's expression darkened. Three great Soul Level appeared from behind him at the same time, and a wave of pure soul energy converged from the center of his left palm as he struck out towards Samer's clone.    

The speed of Samer's clone was also extremely fast. The spirit energy on the five fingertips on his left hand exploded outwards as he directly smashed them towards Ye Kai's palm.    

"BOOM!"    

With a loud explosion, the two retreated a hundred meters back. Other than the Wood of Profaneness s, everything around them was shattered.    

It was as if Loong Qingyun and other top ranking Warrior were present at the scene. When they saw this scene, their mouths would definitely open wide like their jaws had been dislocated, and their expressions would become terrified.    

Although he was wary of Wood of Profaneness and was unable to use Spiritual Strength in battle, where Ye Kai could only use the power of martial arts and Soul Level, one must know that standing in front of Ye Kai right now, was merely a tiny clone of Samer's soul!    

But now, the two of them were actually locked in battle. It was impossible to tell the difference between them in a short period of time!    

Even his soul clone was terrifyingly powerful, at the level of a supreme Celestial Immortal!    

Ye Kai then stepped on the ground and rushed back the way he came, not towards Samer's avatar but towards the body of the Wood of Profaneness.    

Samer's clone looked at Ye Kai's situation, his face was filled with surprise, the clone's right hand had instantly shattered from the impact.    

"A mere human can actually surpass my clone?"    

"However, my goal is not to defeat you. As long as I delay until the Tree of the Gods heals itself, then it will be my victory!"    

After he finished speaking, Samer's clone stomped his feet and rushed towards Ye Kai.    

At this moment, under the protection of Samer's clone, the wound that the Wood of Profaneness had been cut open started to slowly heal. Just as it was about to turn back to its original state, above the eyeball, there was a huge protrusion formed by the convergence of spirit energy.    

If the Wood of Profaneness is not completely destroyed, the Heavenly Portal of East will fall!    

"What do you want to do?" Appearing between Ye Kai and the Wood of Profaneness, Samer's clone said coldly.    

The Red Crystal Longsword drew an arc and Ye Kai became completely furious as he shouted.    

"Scram!"    

"I refuse."    

Samer's clone raised his hand and punched to block Ye Kai's sword slash, as he muttered to himself. With a wave of his hand, millions of gigantic Magic Formation instantly covered the sky.    

"Do you know that I've waited a full fifty million years for this day to come?"    

"No one can stop my revival!" he said.    

The instant those words were spoken, millions of Magic Formation exploded in the clouds in the sky!    

"Boom!"    

Thunderbolts, flames, ice, Poisonous Fog, and over ten million top-grade Yin Qi spells dropped from the sky and accurately struck Ye Kai's body, annihilating his figure.    

"Break!"    

Amidst the radiance of the spell that could cover the sky and cover the sun, Ye Kai let out a sky shaking explosive shout.    

"Damn, I deserve to die!" Just as Samer's clone was cursing, Ye Kai had already arrived in front of his clone and stabbed his sword through his chest!    

"Puchi!"    

The divine soul clone was split apart by Ye Kai's sword. On the Red Crystal Longsword's body, black flames burned everywhere. Just as they were about to burn the clone, Samer's body glared and let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar.    

"Do you think you've won, White-Clothed Sword Immortal?!"    

After he finished speaking, the doppelgänger suddenly crashed into Ye Kai's chest, using its still intact left hand to tightly grip onto Ye Kai's waist, as it clamored with excitement.    

Even Ye Kai did not expect the doppelgänger to retaliate so fiercely, immediately turning blank in thought for a few seconds.    

In these few seconds, the Wood of Profaneness extended a branch after branch and fiercely climbed onto Ye Kai's body, absorbing the blood Qi and Spiritual Strength s from Ye Kai's body.    

"Let go!" Aware that the situation was not good, Ye Kai held the Red Crystal Longsword in his hand and released another bolt of heavenly lightning that struck the avatar.    

"Die, die, die!" But even so, the Divine Soul Avatar was still crazily clamoring. No matter how Ye Kai attacked it, it did not have any intention of letting go.    

Ye Kai's face congealed, just as he was about to use the power of Soul Level to destroy the clone, the round protrusion on the Wood of Profaneness's eye sockets released a sound that shook the sky, and fiercely exploded!    

Under the interference of Samer's clone, the Wood of Profaneness finally matured into a complete body after absorbing Ye Kai's powerful Spiritual Strength and began to carry out its only mission!    

Space of Annihilation!    

"Boom!"    

The sound reverberated through the entire Heavenly Portal of East. The Wood of Profaneness turned into an apocalyptic spiritual energy bomb and exploded at the center of the Immortal Gate Continent!    

As his eyes were covered by what seemed to be black lumps, his hearing and vision blurred, and Ye Kai's figure slowly disappeared within the firelight.
