Chapter 35 – Soul Weapon awakening & Demon Lord's Wrath
Shin stared at the system message in shock.
Ding!
Abyssal Void Sword has awakened into a Soul Weapon, Level 1.
Bound to host's soul. Cannot be stolen, broken, or sealed.
A strange resonance shook his body. His soul trembled, and he felt the sword's presence not in his hand… but deep inside his very being. It was no longer just a weapon—it had become part of him.
Ding!
First Soul Weapon Ability Unlocked: Abyssal Devour.
Effect: Every enemy slain by the Abyssal Void Sword has their essence devoured. Host's sword will grow stronger infinitely. Devoured essence may also be converted into host's cultivation or healing depending on host's will.
Shin's eyes widened. "This… this is insane. A sword that eats life itself…"
Suddenly, the sword's voice echoed inside his mind for the first time—ancient, cold, yet strangely loyal.
> "Blood shall feed me. Essence shall refine me. Together, we are eternal."
Shin clenched his fist around the hilt, and the black blade pulsed with abyssal light, as if hungry for more.
Ding!
All host's techniques have advanced to Perfect Rank.
A terrifying aura burst out of Shin's body. Not only was he strong… now every technique he possessed had reached flawless mastery.
He looked at the blade, a chilling smile forming on his lips.
"With this… even the Demon Lord will tremble."

Northern District – Demon Lord's Castle
Far away, deep in the northern lands where the dimensional crack had torn open, a colossal black castle loomed beneath crimson skies. Inside, the Demon Lord sat upon his throne, his towering figure wrapped in dark flames. Eight of his commanders knelt before him, their heads bowed low.
The Demon Lord's eyes burned with fury. His voice thundered through the hall.
"Those bastards!" he roared, shaking the very stone of the castle. "The ones in the same uniform… the so-called God Alliance!"
The commanders remained silent, their bodies trembling under the pressure of his wrath.
"We demons were not willing to come here," the Demon Lord spat, his voice dripping with rage. "We were cultivating in the Volcano World, but those God Alliance bastards forced us into this cursed Earth. When I refused, they even dared to injure me!" His clawed hand clenched the throne armrest, shattering it into dust.
The hall filled with killing intent.
"Fine… fine! If you wish for slaughter, then slaughter you shall have. If they want us to kill every being in this world, then we shall burn this Earth to ashes. Not a soul will survive."
His red eyes glowed brighter, bloodlust flooding the air.
"After we destroy this world, I will call upon the Demon Emperor of my homeworld. Together, we will crush the God Alliance into dust."
The eight commanders banged their heads to the ground.
"As you command, Lord!"
The Demon Lord stood, towering like a mountain. His voice echoed across the hall:
"Prepare. First… we go to war with this world!"
