Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"What kind of altar is this?", Zhan Chen murmured to himself with a frown on his face. For some reason, he was feeling more uneasy, the longer he looked towards the gigantic altar on the sky.

An ethereal connection established between the devil generals and the gigantic altar as soon as they chanted along with lord Tianzun. Each of them had reverent expression on their faces as they looked towards the sky.

The connection rapidly drained the soul energy of the devil generals but the devil generals didn't flinch even for a moment. It took only few moments and a deep bluish fire burned atop the soul altar.

"This feeling!", Zhan Chen murmured with a grim expression on his face. He took a step back and asked his group to retreat to a certain distance.

The fire flickered beautifully on top of the ancient altar. No one could understand, how deadly the fire actually was but Zhan Chen could feel it's effect. He warned his group to not look at the fire and turned his head to look at the battlefield again.

The devils whoever saw the bluish fire, felt like they were seeing the most beautiful thing in the world. They lost focus and kept looking at the bluish fire with a foolish expression on their faces.

Most of the noble devils also had the same expression as they looked towards the fire burning atop the ancestoral altar. A devil general frowned a little and send some of his devilish energy towards the noble devils. The noble devils came out of their stupor after receiving the help of the devil general. There was a look of dread on each of their faces as they looked at the ancestoral altar.

Peak master of the Earth peak and the peak master of the martial peak attacked once again but they couldn't make a dent on the wall raised by the gigantic altar.

"Thud!", a True essence realm devil was the first to fall on the ground. He still had the bewitched expression on his face but the difference was, he was lacking a soul at this very moment. One after another devil started to fall on the ground. Their expression was serene but they were lacking a soul when their bodies hit the ground.

"These bastards", an elder from the Xuantian sect sweated after seeing the fallen devils. He couldn't understand, how someone could be this cruel to his or her own subordinates.

The bluish fire burned more brightly, the more it absorbed the souls of the fallen devils. A thick, oppressive aura started to come out from the ancient altar, making it difficult for everyone to breathe. The devil generals, however, seemed to be unaffected, their faces filled with reverence and anticipation.

A few moments later, a dark cloud emerged from the altar. The cloud grew larger and larger which finally formed an illusory, almost transparent figure. The figure had a towering presence. It stood tall while towering over the gigantic altar.

The figure had an illusory presence at first but its physical features gradually became more prominent. Xuantian sect cultivators watched with trepidation as they saw the monstrosity in front of them. 

The devil had two horns protruding from it's forehead, its eyes were closed and its body was cloaked in a dark mist. Despite being only a projection, the figure was terrifying to behold.

Thunder rumbled on the sky and devil energy bellowed as soon as the devil appeared in the sky of the Yellow stone city. A soul crushing pressure came out from the projection as soon as it appeared on the sky.

The devil opened it's eyes suddenly and it was the most terrifying that the human cultivators had ever seen. Many of their courage crumbled as they backed away involuntarily from their position. Few could not move from from their places as their bodies started to skake involuntarily. An indescribable fear gripped their hearts as they stared towards the eyes of the devil.

"Exalted devil god, please accept our bow", the devil generals knelt immediately. Other devils also followed suit as they looked towards the devil god with fear and respect on their eyes.

"Speak, what is it that you desire?", the devil asked with a deep voice. His voice was audible across the battlefield as Zhan Chen also understood what the devil was speaking.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "Exalted devil god, we seek your help. We are only at Heavenly tribulation realm but the Law glimpse realm experts of humans are intervening in our battle. We hope, you teach them a lesson and help our Abhorst empire in conquering this planet", lord Tianzun spoke.

"Very well, I understand your concern. I will help you but you need to sacrifice human souls after you win this planet", the devil god replied.

"Your wish is our command. Please help us, oh, exalted devil god. We promise to sacrifice few cities after winning this planet", lord Tianzun spoke.

"Fine, let us start with the closest Law glimpse realm human", the devil god spoke. His eyes fell on Hu Tao, the peak master of the Martial peak who was standing along with the peak master of the Earth peak in mid air.

"Brother Tao, watch out. The devil is looking towards us", the peak master of the Earth peak warned. There was cold sweat on his forehead as he looked towards the devil with apprehension in his eyes.

"Withering soul rays", the devil god suddenly muttered something and his eyes flashed. Before Hu Tao could do anything, he felt an attack coming towards his soul. He hurriedly put up a resistance but it didn't do him any good. His face paled as the attack of devil god hit his soul.

Hu Tao could feel his soul energy drying up at a very rapid speed. His sun like glowing soul started to wither and he felt like a dying human at the end of his lifespan. Dizziness came to his mind and couldn't fight it out no matter how much he tried. His eyes closed off automatically and he lost his consciousness. His body was like a falling stone as it crashed towards the ground.

"Martial brother Tao", the peak master of the Earth peak called out in a panicked expression. He couldn't understand what suddenly happened to Him Tao. He scooped his body with his hands and flew towards the distance.

There was a sudden silence in the battlefield after what happened with Hu Tao. No one could beleive, a mighty emperor would be taken care off like this.

'A soul attack that can injure a late emperor realm expert in an instant!', Zhan Chen thought to himself.
