Essence Devouring Art

Facing this Celestial Human Fourth Floor-level Fierce Monster within its own Evil Domain, he did not underestimate it in the slightest.

Right from the start, he unleashed the Divine Desolate Dominating Body and Divine Ghost Heaven. Three seas of blood, the True Intent of the Overlord Whale Fist, materialized above his head. Torrents of dragon-like Qi and blood gushed from every pore, forming an ocean of crimson-gold, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit soared to their peak!

”ROAR!!!”

The Luotou God seemed to hold a serious grudge.

Ignoring everyone else, its killing intent locked entirely onto Wu Dao as the tens of thousands of heads floating like balloons from its neck all opened their mouths to roar.

The next moment.

The Luotou God’s massive body blurred and vanished, teleporting instantly within the Evil Domain to appear in the empty space before Wu Dao.

BOOM!!

A massive explosion erupted.

A pale, mountain-sized fist obliterated the Gangfeng Qi Flow in its path, carrying boundless might capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas. It collapsed the void as it ruthlessly smashed down toward Wu Dao, who, even after unleashing his Divine Desolate Dominating Body, was as tiny as an ant in comparison.

Two thousand meters tall!

A physique like a Titan Giant God!

One could say the Luotou God’s every move was a catastrophe for the mortal world. It needed no fancy tricks; its body was a machine of destruction!

This furious punch descended.

The energy it contained could instantly tear a Celestial Human Third Floor expert to countless shreds, with absolutely no chance to resist!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~

Its might arrived before the fist itself!

A hurricane-force shockwave compressed and scattered the violent energies of the void, battering his Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield so hard that the electric fire it emitted was blown into streaks of light.

’Trying to crush me with brute force? Naive!’

Wu Dao stood firm in the gale, unmoving. In that split second, his eyes sharpened. His right arm, entwined with Barbaric Dragons, swelled as he drew it back. He didn’t dodge in the slightest, choosing to meet fist with fist!

The Horizontal Refining Sixth Gate!

Qi and Blood like the sea, boundless power!

Not to mention the empowerment from three oceans of True Intent!

This punch!

Five thousand years of Power!

DOOOM—

He threw the punch!

The violent, surging wave of Gangfeng Qi before him, strong enough to shred Spirit Iron, was instantly pierced like a thousand sheets of paper. Dragons roared and whales cried. With one punch, the four seas tilted!

One massive, one minuscule!

One primeval and barbaric, the other incomparably tyrannical and fierce!

In a hundredth of a second, the two fists viciously collided!

DOOM!!

It was like the collision of heaven and earth!

The sound of the explosion overwhelmed the entire Evil Domain, drowning out all other war cries and roars. In the sky at the core of the Evil Domain, a small white sun suddenly ignited at the epicenter of their collision. It rapidly grew hotter, turned crimson, swelled, and then burst apart!

RUMBLE—

The instant the white sun exploded, layer upon layer of concentric shockwaves expanded madly, carrying destructive power as they swept across heaven and earth.

Wherever they passed.

All the violent energies in the sky were compressed and wiped clean. On the ground below, countless tons of earth and rock within a twenty-li radius of their clash...

...were instantly pulverized into countless fine particles, as if run through a grinder.

This formed a sky-high curtain of earthen waves, each cresting higher than the last, that crashed madly against the edge of the Evil Domain until the entire area had been razed to the ground.

”This is bad!”

The instant the shockwave swept over.

The Heart Lake Alarm Bells of everyone fighting within the Evil Domain below the Celestial Human Fourth Floor rang wildly. They all simultaneously abandoned their opponents and fled toward the periphery.

”That wretch...”

High in the sky of the Evil Domain, the Grand Elder of the Corpse God Palace watched Wu Dao block the Luotou God’s punch head-on, and his expression changed abruptly.

He took another look...

Third Floor True Intent!

Qi and Blood Like the Sea!

If you added his innate abilities as a Body Treasure Master, he definitely had the combat prowess of a Fourth Floor expert!

The Luotou God was being held up!

With no outside force to disrupt the battle, they could only fight the people from the Bai Ze Bureau one-on-one!

”Damn it, damn it all!”

Filled with frustration and resentment.

Yin Wuchang’s Coffin Nail spewed endless Yin Sha Qi like a volcanic eruption, knocking aside Fang Lie’s long saber. His figure turned into a ghostly mist as he shot toward Wu Dao, intent on killing him.

’If I can just kill Wu Dao!’

’If only...’

BOOM!

A long saber blazing with sun-like flames cleaved through the sky, and the Fiery Sun Pure Qi it carried instantly forced Yin Wuchang out into the open once more!

Fang Lie’s body surged with raging fire, making him look like the Great Sun Fire God descending upon the world. His voice boomed like thunder, ”Haha, don’t even think about it! As long as I’m here, you can just behave and accept your death!”

”Fang Lie! You really think I’m afraid of you?”

Yin Wuchang’s face twisted as he roared in fury. The flesh and bone on his back squirmed, and a ’person’ forcibly grew out of it, identical to him in every way.

A Corpse Puppet!

The Corpse God Palace cultivated the Corpse Technique, which could turn living beings into enslaved puppets. Man and corpse merged into one, becoming indistinguishable and allowing a single person to unleash the combat power of two.

This Corpse Puppet of Yin Wuchang’s.

In life, this Corpse Puppet had been a Martial Arts Celestial Being. After many years of refinement, it now possessed the combat power of a Celestial Human Fourth Floor expert.

”Vile arts! Die!”

Fang Lie, however, was completely unafraid. With a cold snort, he once again wielded his saber, carrying with it an ocean of Fourfold Fierce Sun Blade Intent as he charged at Yin Wuchang.

He himself possessed the combat power of a Celestial Human Fifth Floor expert, and he also had Fourth Floor Blade Intent. He wasn’t afraid of fighting two against one in the slightest.

BOOM!

At the core of the Evil Domain, the sounds of massive explosions continued to spread. Wu Dao met the Luotou God’s fist with his own, outmaneuvering it and sending it flying.

BZZZT~

Its first strike having failed.

The Luotou God’s figure blurred once more and vanished into the void.

Heh!

Wu Dao let out a cold, unpanicked laugh. Tapping into the Earth and Heaven Magnetic Field, he instantly pinpointed the Luotou God’s location. With a single flap of the twenty-zhang-wide Great Peng Golden Wings on his back, he too vanished into the void like a phantom.

”Get out here!”

Amidst a roar like a clap of spring thunder.

Wu Dao again struck second but landed first, intercepting the Luotou God as it gathered power to attack. His brutal punch blasted the void apart and slammed into the Luotou God’s chest!

DOOM!

CRACKLE—

A tidal shockwave carried with it countless currents of Primordial Magnetism, like frenzied snakes bursting from a cave. They erupted in surging, layered explosions within the void, outlining the Luotou God’s massive body and forcibly knocking it out of its teleportation!

”ROAR!”

The Luotou God looked as if it had been struck by heavenly lightning. Its snow-white body was charred black, and the countless floating, balloon-like heads above it were instantly shocked rigid, black smoke puffing from their open mouths.

”Hahaha, so ugly! Let me help you cut those off!”

Wu Dao laughed wildly and unfurled his Great Peng wings, transforming into a streak of golden light. Moving faster than lightning, he used his wings as blades, flashing back and forth across the base of the Luotou God’s necks several times in less than the blink of an eye.

”AHH!”

”It hurts!”

”NO!”

The next instant.

Countless agonized screams rang out.

The tens of thousands of long-necked, crimson human heads sprouting from the center of the Luotou God’s shoulders, like a patch of red weeds, were lopped off at the base by Wu Dao as if he were scything down chives. Like kites with their strings cut, they scattered in all directions before exploding violently!

And just like that.

It had truly lived up to its name, the Headless God.

”Human, DIE!!”

The headless Luotou God went completely berserk.

From the hollow in the center of its shoulders, which now resembled a bloody abyss, came a roar that could shatter the heavens. Its massive body abruptly exploded, transforming into a swarm of countless long-necked head-monsters with necks like crimson threads, which blotted out the sky as they surged to envelop Wu Dao.

”You think you’re the only one who can shout?!”

Watching the long-necked heads envelop him from all sides without a single gap, Wu Dao sneered. All over his body, from head to toe, his muscles split open simultaneously, forming innumerable dragon mouths.

Then...

ROAR!!!!

Ten thousand dragons roared and breathed fire in unison!

It wasn’t just Extreme Yang True Flame; it was also mixed with explosive currents of Primordial Magnetism, forming thousands of Electric Fire Pulse Cannons that locked onto the long-necked crimson heads from all directions, leaving no blind spots.

BANG BANG BANG—

Instantly.

Wu Dao seemed to transform into a war fortress. Countless gunports all over his body continuously fired Electric Fire Laser Cannons, blasting the bee-like swarm of head monsters apart in the void and reducing them to puffs of bloody mist.

Hm?

But just then.

Wu Dao sensed that something was wrong.

Heaven and earth had flipped!

ROAR!!

A world-shattering roar suddenly erupted from below him, and a baleful, blood-red light like a volcanic eruption engulfed him!

’Its real body was hiding just now?’

Wu Dao’s expression showed a hint of surprise as he took the full force of the baleful light’s assault. ’I’m linked to the Earth and Heaven Magnetic Field; not the slightest change should have escaped my senses.’

’Under these circumstances.’

’The Luotou God was still able to hide and launch a sneak attack.’

’A Celestial Level Fierce Monster truly isn’t that simple!’

BOOM!

As the volcanic pillar of ominous, blood-red light blasted past, Wu Dao instantly felt an abnormal magnetic energy invade his body.

”Headless! Headless! Headless!!!”

After the roar, the Luotou God reappeared, completely unharmed. The dense mass of long-necked heads on its shoulders glared and roared at Wu Dao, who was now entangled in the baleful light, uttering words of curse.

Visibly.

Wu Dao’s ferocious, dragon-and-whale-like head began to glow like a blood-red lantern. Its neck rapidly elongated, its eyes turned crimson, and it opened its massive maw to bite down on his own heart!

”Hahaha, you fool! You’ve been hit by the Headless Curse! Just wait for death!”

In the distance, Yin Wuchang, who was being suppressed by Fang Lie, saw this and immediately burst into wild laughter, feeling immense glee.

They had studied the Luotou God.

Once afflicted by the curse.

The victim’s entire body would be drained dry by their own head. Even smashing the head was useless; the power of the curse would quickly grow a new one to continue draining their Life Force!

”Gack! H-How is this possible?”

But Yin Wuchang’s laughter didn’t last long before it came to an abrupt halt, his expression twisting into one of terror!

”Courting death!!”

The dragon mouths all over Wu Dao’s body roared in unison. He reached out a massive hand and seized the rebellious head on his shoulders.

The next moment!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The sound of breaking Divine Iron rang out as Wu Dao’s right hand exerted its strength, ripping the head straight from his neck, spine and all!

Then!

CRACKLE—

In his Divine Ghost Heaven State, the currents of his Ten-Turn Magnetic Field surged at full power. Billions of his cells and his very flesh were flooded with crimson-gold electric fire, and the alien magnetic field inside him was instantly annihilated.

’Trying to use magnetic field pollution on me? That’s like showing off your meager skills before an expert!’

”You dare kill my head?!”

After clearing the magnetic pollution from his body, Wu Dao’s headless torso emitted a thousand chilling voices. His Magnetic Field spun, and with a flex of his hand, he crushed the head he was holding—his own.

”Headless? Headless? Headless?”

The voices from the countless long-necked heads on the Luotou God’s shoulders turned to shock.

’How is this possible?’

’Its signature ability, the Headless Curse, was broken in an instant?’

’What in the world is this thing?’

”Ten Directions Divine Slaughter! I’ll shatter you!!”

The savage roar had just begun when Wu Dao’s ferocious physique—resembling a dragon, a kun, and a roc—surpassed the very sound of his own voice, shattering the atmosphere in his path like a glass wall.

At this extreme speed, his body became a complete blur. Moving faster than the Luotou God’s Divine Soul could even react, he transformed into streaks of golden light that wrapped around the monster from head to toe, forming a great cocoon.

Ten Directions Divine Slaughter!

The limit of attack speed!

In an instant, thousands of punches covered every inch of the enemy’s body. The Power injected was like planting countless miniature nuclear bombs, set to detonate and pulverize the target in a single moment!

An instant later.

Wu Dao’s figure reappeared, yet countless afterimages still lingered, continuing to strike the Luotou God’s massive body. One could only imagine how fast he had been moving.

At the same time!

On the frozen Luotou God’s majestic, mountain-like body, countless fist-sized craters appeared simultaneously. The Power injected into them detonated like miniature nuclear bombs, destroying its body completely from the inside out.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

RUMBLE—

The sounds of exploding flesh and the sonic booms of air being violently compressed and expanded echoed throughout the entire Evil Domain. Pillar-like shockwaves followed Wu Dao’s previous attack vectors, tearing rifts through the sky and void that refused to close.

CRACKLE—

BOOM!!

The moment the Primordial Magnetic currents Wu Dao had pumped into it detonated, the Luotou God—its body already flayed and riddled with holes—instantly exploded into a sky-filling mist of blood.
