After Yu Caidie was defeated, the Yu Clan people suppressed her, not allowing her to do anything else. When the old man arrived before Xiang Shaoyun, he found that Xiang Shaoyun's wounds were rapidly healing. If it wasn't for Xiang Shaoyun's soul injuries, he would have healed even faster. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he could fully recover.

"Just kill me," said Xiang Shaoyun.

At this point, he gave up on struggling. He was no match for this old man, and he had no trump cards he could use against him. He might as well request a fast death. He recalled his parents, his women, his child, and his brothers. Numerous scenes surfaced in his mind, filling his heart with an unresigned feeling.

He did not blame himself for having devil blood. He only blamed the world for being unfair. Who had decided that those with devil blood should be rejected by the world and killed? If a day arrived when he was strong enough to change the rules of the world, he would make the humans and the devils coexist peacefully. He would not allow the same tragedy to happen to anyone else. He rejoiced that Ye Chaomu had returned to the Undying Devil Clan. If she was discovered while still in the human world, she would suffer the same fate as him.

"Lord, this devil can't be spared. He has killed too many people," said Di Chuan.

The others also voiced their opinions.

"That's right. This devil is too cruel. He must suffer a fate worse than death!"

"For killing my uncle, I need to skin him alive!"

"He can't be spared! He must be reduced into mincemeat and soaked in salt water. He can only die through torture!"

"The life of a devil like this is not important. We need to get some information from him. Perhaps we can discover some new secrets of the devils from him."

...

Xiang Shaoyun became a target of everyone's suppression. He felt awfully wronged. If the others hadn't tried to kill him, why would he have bothered killing so many people?

"Devil blood may flow in my veins, but I'm a human!" Xiang Shaoyun roared in an unresigned manner.

He had the blood of two races, but he had the body of a human. Even after having his blood changed, that was still the case.

The old man ignored Xiang Shaoyun and the crowd as his aged palm gripped Xiang Shaoyun's head. Xiang Shaoyun struggled to no avail and shouted, "Just finish this already!"

He was clear that this old man intended to search his soul and dig out all his secrets. The old man ignored Xiang Shaoyun. After all, Xiang Shaoyun's performance had been too shocking. One could say that Xiang Shaoyun was akin to a treasure trove. He naturally wanted to find out everything about Xiang Shaoyun. When his energy entered Xiang Shaoyun's head, a certain power within stopped his intrusion.

"You still have a trump card? What a pleasant surprise," muttered the old man.

He increased the intensity of his godly energy, forcefully invading Xiang Shaoyun's head. However, the repelling force within Xiang Shaoyun's head also increased in strength. As the two forces clashed, Xiang Shaoyun wailed in pain.

Ahhhhhh!

Xiang Shaoyun started bleeding from his seven orifices, looking incredibly miserable. He suffered an intense torment, feeling as though his head was going to burst apart. This was a collision between the Nether Soul Dragon Headband's power and the old man's godly energy. 

If it wasn't for the Imperial Nether Domain that provided a space for the two powers to clash, Xiang Shaoyun's head would have exploded. If this continued, things would not end well for him. Even the crowd felt like this much torture was a tad bit too excessive. Devil Concubine and Yu Caidie cried helplessly. They were too weak to do anything for Xiang Shaoyun.

"Damn it!" Lightning started cackling around Xiang Feidian as his patience was running thin.

Xiang Keren and Xiang Chenxi felt the same, but they couldn't do anything.

"Don't torture our overlord anymore. Just give him a quick end," said Ouyang Chuanqi unhappily.

However, the old man ignored them all. He increased the intensity of his energy, trying to find out just how long Xiang Shaoyun could last.

"Get lost!" Xiang Shaoyun was sick of everything. He channeled all the energy in his devil pearl into the Nether Soul Dragon Headband, instantly fully activating the Nether Soul Dragon Headband. A powerful force rushed out of his head and blasted the old man's palm away.

With a rumble, a dragon soared out and charged the old man. The Nether Soul Dragon Headband had come alive. It was forged from a dragon's tendon and was a treasure of an unimaginably high grade. Powered by Xiang Shaoyun's devilish energy, it automatically went into its strongest defensive mode.

The old man could sense how powerful the dragon was and did not dare to be careless. He attacked the dragon, trying to destroy it. Free of the old man's grip, Xiang Shaoyun fled without hesitation. He wouldn't give up on even the slimmest chance of survival.

"Trying to leave?" The old man immediately noticed Xiang Shaoyun's attempt at escaping. He sent the dragon flying away with one hand and grabbed Xiang Shaoyun with his other hand as if grabbing a little chick.

Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even escape. Once again, he was reduced into a lamb waiting for slaughter.

"Since I can't explore your head for now, I'll first cripple your cultivation," said the old man mercilessly as his power gushed into Xiang Shaoyun's body.

The inner stars were where all cultivators stored their astral energy, representing their fate and their talent in cultivation. Xiang Shaoyun had a nine stars shake the heavens physique, the most talented physique a human could have. He was akin to the pet of the heavens. Today, his nine stars were destroyed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ahhhhhh!

His Saint Realm body cracked, and his blood spilled. His body was reduced into a crippled body while his nine stars were reduced into nothingness. Nine different energies started spreading out of his body, as he could no longer keep them within him.

Fortunately, his astral cosmos sea remained even though it had also suffered an attack from the old man. A portion of the nine energies entered the astral cosmos sea, including Yun Flame and the starfall lightning energy.

Along with the destruction of Xiang Shaoyun's stars, the sky above them became dark. Terrifyingly black clouds gathered above them, and nine stars could be seen exploding in the heavens above. It was as though the world was ending, shocking everyone present.

Nine stars shake the heavens. There was a reason for the nine stars physique to be known as such. Even the heavens grieved at the destruction of such a physique.
