Essence Devouring Art

RUMBLE—

Three lethal attacks continued their bombardment, warping the skies, illuminating the firmament, and relentlessly blasting the earth apart!

”He can’t last much longer! We’ll wear him down!”

After their initial shock, the two demons and one monster realized that maintaining the Electromagnetic Field Domain seemed to be taking a huge toll on Wu Dao.

The percentage of the Energy they unleashed that was being redirected was slowly decreasing.

More importantly, this was a combined assault from three Land Immortals, all supreme experts of their realm!

Wu Dao was protected by his Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield, but the Power he was outputting could only maintain the balance. He was unable to both sustain the domain and fight back, effectively making him a sitting duck.

This was where their advantage became clear: they had access to an inexhaustible supply of Heaven and Earth Energy.

They weren’t afraid of a battle of attrition in the slightest!

”Heh. You think you can wear me down?”

But Wu Dao just sneered, his expression completely devoid of panic.

In any other place, he might not have been able to win a battle of attrition.

But this place...

RUMBLE—

Ink-black clouds churned in the sky as the Thunder Sea roiled and erupted.

Shining dragons of electricity tore through the sky, branching out like trees. In the distance, one could even see the terrifying sight of a mountaintop being blasted apart by one of these electric dragons.

High altitude!

A thunderstorm zone!

”Duke Lei, aid me!”

Wu Dao threw his head back and roared as a torrent of dragon-like Qi and blood surged from his spine, soaring hundreds of yards into the sky!

His Life Force surged dramatically!

His Sixth Turn Magnetic Field Power instantly soared to its Absolute Peak, acting like a magnet and drawing down the bolts of destructive Celestial Thunder from overhead!

”What?”

Before the two demons and the Fierce Monster could react...

CRACK—

Dazzling Celestial Might—it was Mjolnir!

Countless purple lightning bolts, each as thick as a dragon, slammed into the Black Sea of clouds. Carrying an apocalyptic destructive Energy, they surged into his Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield like a torrent of dragons returning to their nest. The brilliant light of the thunder instantly engulfed Wu Dao.

In the next instant.

BOOM—

It was as if the Primordial Magnetic Field Domain had swallowed a Great Nourishing Pill.

It suddenly more than doubled in size!

The three waves of Energy were shattered and sent flying.

The balance was shattered!

CRACKLE—

At the center of the Primordial Magnetic Field Domain, a Thunder-Fire Demon God appeared!

Wu Dao’s Fierce Dragon Flesh now writhed like countless thunder dragons. Liquid purple Thunderbolt streamed from his every orifice, and his body surged with an explosive, unprecedentedly powerful force.

He was like a volcano that had been building pressure for eons.

If he didn’t erupt...

...he would self-destruct!

CRACK... CRACK...

Wu Dao cracked his neck, a Thunder Sea roiling in his eyes as he exhaled a purple dragon of electricity.

”Come on. Let’s see how tough you really are!”

BOOM!

The volcano of Thunderbolt erupted!

Wrapped in his Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield, Wu Dao shot forward like an electric current arcing across a broken circuit board, shattering a huge swathe of the void in an instant.

The sounds of air exploding, sonic booms, and thunder cracking!

Before any of it could even be heard!

He appeared before the Three-tailed Golden Fox.

Of the two demons and one Fierce Monster, the fox was the weakest.

Naturally, he would pick the softest target first!

SCREEE!!

He clenched his fist!

The vast ocean surged, and the Divine Whale slapped its tail!

How terrifying was eight hundred years of Dominating Whale Fist Intent?

At the moment of Divine Manifestation, a vast stretch of the sky transformed into a blood-red ocean of towering waves. A Divine Whale, as massive as a mountain, swam within before leaping mightily into the air, its shadow eclipsing the sun.

Whale Hammer Technique!

BOOM—

The Divine Whale Collides with the Sea!

The world-shaking sonic boom had only just begun to spread when it was torn to shreds by the heaven-shattering power of Wu Dao’s Fist Force!

The world fell silent and still once more.

In this frozen world, everything seemed to slow down.

In the distance, the Cold Ice Flood Dragon Python’s head was still thrown back from the force of Wu Dao’s thunder-fueled explosion, a torrent of ghastly white, freezing energy spewing from its mouth.

The pulse of blood-wheat fired by the Harvest Village monster disintegrated, scattering like petals in the wind. Countless grains of blood-wheat drifted through the air as if in slow motion, while its abstract, mountain-sized body staggered backward.

As for the Three-tailed Golden Fox, which had taken Wu Dao’s punch head-on—

Its Protective Geng Metal Spirit Gang shattered into pieces!

Its massive head slowly caved in, its features twisting and contorting as it was crushed. Mangled flesh and bone fragments flew out in slow motion!

At the epicenter of the punch, concentric shockwaves radiated outwards, spreading across the Three-tailed Golden Fox’s entire body. They rippled over its form from head to toe and continued to expand outward at extreme speed.

The explosive Thunder Power flooded into its flesh and bone!

Visibly, the Three-tailed Golden Fox’s shattered head began to glow red, then turn charred black, with the incandescence spreading rapidly down its body.

BOOM—

Wu Dao retracted his fist.

The world snapped back to life. The shockwave, carrying sonic booms, air bursts, and a chaotic tsunami of high-energy fluids, slammed out in all directions. The earth and rock below were instantly pulverized and vaporized into nothing.

BANG!

As the Three-tailed Golden Fox fell like a meteor, the look on its face was still one of terror, frozen from the moment it was suppressed by the Dominating Whale Fist Intent.

In mid-air, its massive body developed countless cracks, like shattered stained glass, before exploding into a cloud of fragments in the next instant. Only its core, a golden Demon Pill, remained!

Before the Demon Pill could hit the ground, Wu Dao, moving with the speed of a raging thunderbolt, appeared beneath it. He opened his massive, lightning-wreathed mouth and swallowed it in a single gulp.

RUMBLE—

A tempest of crushing, concussive force filled the air.

It had all happened in less than an instant.

In the other two directions, the Cold Ice Flood Dragon Python had just lowered its head.

The Harvest Village monster had just steadied its staggering form.

But the Three-tailed Golden Fox, which had been alive and well just a moment before—

...was now dead in a single punch, not even a corpse left behind!

CRACKLE... CRACKLE...

Drawn by the Magnetic Field, bolts of Celestial Thunder continued to strike Wu Dao’s Dragon Whale Dominating Body.

The raging Thunderbolt was locked down by the Magnetic Field before it could even erupt, providing him with a ceaseless stream of Energy. He truly looked like the Thunder God descended to judge all living beings. Before his immeasurable Divine Power, all of creation were but ants!

’I accept your proposal!’

As the terrifying gale swept past, the Cold Ice Flood Dragon Python lost its nerve, sending a message via its Divine Soul to the Harvest Village monster.

Then, it spewed a world-freezing river of cold at Wu Dao, while its body transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot toward the Harvest Village monster. It plunged into the ’village’ like a stone into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

BANG! BANG! BANG—

Purple lightning shattered the torrent of ice!

His dragon-like Qi and blood, mixed with raging Thunderbolt, evaporated the ice wherever he passed. The resulting vapor was then blasted away by the shockwave of his high-speed advance.

But in the end, he was a step too slow...

BOOM!

He stopped dead in his tracks!

A terrifying, cone-shaped gale ravaged the area, causing the golden wheat fields on the Harvest Village monster’s body to ripple and surge. Countless grains of wheat scattered like sand in a storm.

Wu Dao didn’t press his advantage.

Because this Fierce Monster had given him a sense of danger from the very beginning.

Even after drawing down the lightning and causing his Magnetic Field Power to skyrocket, that sense of danger remained. The closer he got, the more intense it became!

”You wretched beast, you tricked me!”

BOOM!

The tense atmosphere didn’t last long.

A roar filled with extreme anger and regret suddenly erupted from the chest of the Harvest Village monster.

Vast swathes of the wheat fields were frozen solid!

The ice spread rapidly across the Harvest Village monster’s entire body.

”Hahahaha!”

A wild, triumphant laugh echoed through the heavens.

”Too late!”

BANG!

Amidst the thunderous laughter, the ice on the Harvest Village monster’s body suddenly receded, and its entire form exploded into an overwhelming torrent of countless wheat grains, dirt, and rubble that rushed toward Wu Dao.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG—

The frantic sound of countless fragments striking steel was deafening.

The torrent slammed into him. It crashed against his Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield, creating a shower of brilliant sparks.

It was too fast and too fierce to be avoided!

The force sent Wu Dao staggering backward, unable to stop. As far as his senses could reach, there was nothing but a sea of what looked like blood-red sand.

WHOOSH~

A moment later, like a receding tide, the storm dissipated, revealing a wide-open world.

Wu Dao’s eyes narrowed sharply.

RUSTLE~

An azure sky stretched overhead, and a warm, gentle breeze blew.

On the ground below, an endless sea of wheat rippled like waves. At the end of a dark red dirt path sat a quiet village of more than a hundred homes.

The air was filled with a tranquil and pleasant aura that relaxed the body and soul, making one want to shed all worldly cares and lose themselves in this idyllic paradise.

Harvest Village!

An illusion?

Or...

In his Divine Ghost Heaven State, Wu Dao ignored the alluring Mental Realm that tempted one to fall into complacency. His eyes narrowed, and with a sonic boom, he shot toward the azure sky.

But the next moment...

BOOM!

After flying a hundred meters into the air, his ascent stopped abruptly. He slammed into the sky as if hitting a screen, sending ripples across the illusory blue expanse.

”Don’t waste your energy. Once you’re in here, even if you have the power to overturn the heavens...”

A mocking voice sounded beside him.

Behind Wu Dao, a young man appeared. He had vertical pupils and a bizarre body that seemed to be constructed from fragments of the Harvest Village scenery.

THUD!

Before the strange young man could finish speaking, Wu Dao shattered the sound barrier, his fist already smashing toward the man’s head.

BANG!

A shattering sound echoed.

Before the fist even landed, the strange young man was blasted into a cloud of scenic fragments by the force of the Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield alone.

But...

”Tsk. I told you not to waste your strength. Do you even know where you are?”

On the ground below, the strange young man reappeared, his body now formed from countless grains of wheat. He spread his arms wide, like a King ruling over his domain.

”This is my wo—”

ROAR!!

True Dragon Breath! An attack that could incinerate the heavens and obliterate the earth!

A fireball as brilliant as the Sun exploded, sending millions of tons of earth and rock surging into the sky like a tidal wave. The ensuing Energy shockwave crushed and annihilated everything in its path.

Explosion, fragmentation, decomposition, vaporization!

The roiling smoke and dust pressed against the confines of the Jiezhi Space, unable to escape, creating violent, swirling vortexes of wind.

When the winds died down, Harvest Village had been wiped off the map, leaving only a massive, volcano-like crater.

In the center of the crater stood a creature roughly the same size as Wu Dao in his Dragon Whale Dominating Body form. It was an ice-version of the Harvest Village monster.

That familiar cold aura was clearly what it had gained from tricking the Cold Ice Flood Dragon Python.

”In my World, I am—”

ROAR!!

Another True Dragon Breath!

The world-destroying Red Gold Yang Flame once again cut off the Harvest Village monster as it tried to proclaim its own greatness.

”You bastard!”

Having been cut off repeatedly, the Harvest Village monster’s ’face’ twisted in fury. Its figure flickered and vanished like a television screen shutting off.

The next moment...

BAM!

An irresistible force slammed into the Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield without warning. The blow was too powerful for the Primordial Magnetic Field Domain to redirect, and the shield caved in dramatically.

BOOM—

The impact sent Wu Dao hurtling downward like a meteor, smashing through the air at supersonic speeds toward the crater below.

But before he could hit the ground!

”Without the Celestial Thunder Power, what are you?!”

BOOM!!

The Harvest Village monster teleported below Wu Dao once more, spewing a torrent of ghastly white frost even more terrifying than that of the Cold Ice Flood Dragon Python.

The instant they collided!

The sturdy Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield groaned as if on the verge of collapse, like a Crimson Gold crystal ball fracturing with a thousand cracks.

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP—

The backlash swept through his entire body.

From outside in, sounds like snapping steel echoed through Wu Dao’s body, which was forged from the Sixth Transformation Undying Extreme Gold. It felt as if he would shatter at any moment.

Fortunately, his Sixth Transition Magnetic Field Power was strong enough, and he was still in his Divine Ghost Heaven State. Linked by electric currents, his cells healed at a tremendous rate, instantly halting the damage.

THUMP!!

In the next instant.

The world spun around him.

In Wu Dao’s perception, the entire Harvest Village space seemed to flip upside down. He, who should have been flying up toward the sky, was now plummeting toward the earth.

But...

...the Harvest Village monster wasn’t about to give him a chance to land!
