Essence Devouring Art

Celestial Extinction Fist... Vajra Invincible Divine Skill... Light Splitting Shadow Sword... Tai Chi Divine Blade... Sea and Mountain True Skill...

As the tide of Martial Dao Will crashed down, the might of various Celestial Human Ultimate Skills blotted out the sky, their names searing themselves into his mind.

Some were left by past experts of Martial King Mountain, while a few were imprints left behind by outside climbers.

If he wanted any of these Cultivation Techniques, he would only need to stop and defeat the expert’s imprint.

But a single thought was all it took for Wu Dao to lose interest.

Celestial Human Techniques.

They were of little use to him now, especially since ninety-nine percent of them were restricted by the Dantian.

Only Transverse Refining Techniques.

He could cultivate those, but the Transverse Refining Techniques in this domain had a ceiling of the Seventh Daoist Sect at best. They were far too inferior for his consideration.

However, he couldn’t ignore the obstruction they caused.

Below an altitude of 1,500,

he could use his Primordial Magnetic Power to forcibly suppress those expert imprints, keeping them trapped inside their stone tablets.

Above 1,500, in the Heavenly Human Domain,

things became a bit more troublesome under the enhancement of Wuliang Mountain’s Mighty Power.

He could suppress them, but it would consume some of his energy.

Wuliang Mountain isolated him from the Heaven and Earth Energy, and the Magnetic Field Power was already claimed. Forcibly drawing upon it was no different from summoning Celestial Thunder—the cost was immense, and replenishing what was lost would be difficult.

His goal was to reach above the 2,000 mark.

He couldn’t afford to waste his strength in this domain.

So...

He could find a compromise.

A way to cross this domain safely without expending too much effort.

”Good, full of spirit. If you love fighting and killing so much, then go ahead and fight!”

Wu Dao took a step, fully entering the domain past the 1,500 mark. Faced with the overwhelming shadows of Celestial Gods manifested by the expert imprints, he grinned and stomped his foot down hard.

Instantly.

BOOM—

CRACKLE!!

A majestic, dragon-like Power carrying a golden Primordial Magnetic Current surged out from under his foot like a tidal wave, madly spreading to engulf the surrounding world.

Wherever it passed,

the figures of the experts, the stone tablets, and the Five Elements Magnetic Divine Light all trembled and shuddered as if struck by lightning, freezing for a moment in a daze.

And then...

Something even more outrageous happened.

”Kill!”

”Don’t even think of passing me!”

”Come fight! Come fight!”

After the impact of the Primordial Magnetic Current, the expert figures manifested in the Heavenly Human Domain between the altitudes of 1,500 and 2,000 suddenly began fighting amongst themselves, their shouts to kill and attack echoing as they descended into a chaotic brawl.

The heavy Five-Colored Divine Light that filled the world had originally been focused entirely on Wu Dao’s body and soul.

But after he stomped his foot, the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Power seemed to have been infected by a virus.

Not only did it stop targeting Wu Dao, but it also parted like the sea before him, revealing a wide, five-colored avenue.

Even more considerately,

the curtains formed by the waves of Five-Colored Divine Light on both sides even helped block the shockwaves from the brawling expert imprints. Not even a wisp of wind could get through.

”Not bad, not bad. Hahaha, you all stay busy. I’ll be heading up first.”

Wu Dao clapped his hands in satisfaction. Then, with his hands clasped behind his back, he looked like an old man strolling through a park.

He leisurely ambled toward the 2,000 mark, admiring the great battle behind the curtains of light on either side, completely unimpeded.

This...

Down below Wuliang Mountain,

the faces of Qiu Tianjing and Elder Wu twitched uncontrollably upon seeing such a bizarre scene. They felt completely numb.

They had originally thought

that even with the help of a Celestial Treasure, Wu Dao would surely be in a somewhat pathetic state in the domain above the 1,500 mark.

But in reality? Pathetic, my ass.

Other climbers shed blood and sweat with every step, their shouts and struggles shaking the heavens, their backs bent under the pressure.

Even the most brilliant and stunning talent of Martial King Mountain, Prince Nanyang, Zhou Chen,

had to be on high alert, not daring to be careless when he climbed from the 1,500 to the 2,000 mark while in the Heavenly Human Realm.

But when it came to Wu Dao?

Was he on a scenic outing, watching a play on the side?

”How did they start fighting each other?”

”Are you kidding me? Why aren’t they stopping him!”

”Is this guy the reincarnation of our sect’s founder or something?”

The group of Direct Disciples were grinding their teeth, their eyes red with indignation. They absolutely could not accept this.

Among them, there were quite a few Celestial Beings, and many had even climbed the mountain repeatedly.

But every single one of them had been reduced to a crawling, writhing Blood Gourd in the very domain Wu Dao was now in, tortured by the numerous expert imprints to the point of developing psychological trauma.

But Wu Dao...

Damn it all!

Do you have to be so ridiculous!

Are we sure Wuliang Mountain isn’t broken?

’He can use tricks in the Heavenly Human Domain, but above the 2,000 mark...’

Qiu Ruoshui remained cool and detached, her bearing ethereal. Her Autumn Water’s beautiful eyes watched Wu Dao as he proceeded unobstructed, rapidly approaching the domain at the 2,000 mark.

Faced with such a monumental gap in ability,

she no longer had any inclination to compare Wu Dao with Prince Nanyang. Instead, a sense of anticipation grew within her.

She, too, was in the Heavenly Human Peak Domain.

She wanted to see for herself where the limits of this level truly lay.

The weak complain; the strong give chase.

As the current chief of the Martial King Mountain Holy Land,

her potential in the Heavenly Human Domain was far from exhausted. With a high probability of reaching the Twelfth Floor Overlord Level in the future, she naturally possessed the heart of an expert, second to none.

”He’s reached the 2,000 mark!”

Suddenly, an unknown disciple cried out.

The crowd, who had all been lost in their own thoughts, were jolted by the sound. Their gazes once again converged on Wu Dao’s back as he came to another halt.

Above the 2,000 mark on Wuliang Mountain!

The Dao Embryo First Change to Fifth Change Domain!

Although Wuliang Mountain was not in an offensive state during the ascent and wouldn’t try to kill the climbers,

the various forms of Divine Power that permeated the domain between the 2,000 and 3,000 marks,

along with the suppressive force of the vast Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Power, were still extremely damaging to a climber’s body and soul.

What’s more,

he was entering that level in the Celestial Human Realm.

Back then, Prince Nanyang

had relied entirely on his Twelfth Floor Fist Intent, which had reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Human Domain, and a Divine Power Seed that had nearly transformed into a Dao Embryo, to brute-force his way through.

But even a demon of a talent like Prince Nanyang

had only managed to advance another two hundred.

After stepping into the Dao Embryo First Transformation Limit Domain, he was completely unable to withstand the suppression of the Divine Power and the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Power, collapsing unconscious, bathed in his own blood.

To step into the Divine Power One Transformation Limit Domain while still in the Celestial Human Realm.

This feat was already terrifyingly impressive.

At the time, everyone on Martial King Mountain believed this achievement would become a myth, unprecedented and never to be surpassed.

But today, Wu Dao’s series of outrageous feats gave them a premonition that this myth might just be broken.

Although they were shocked, they felt no sense of disdain or jealousy. For the most part, they were simply anticipating that Wu Dao would create a new myth.

Whether by trickery or by brute force,

in the world of cultivation, strength is everything.

Only those who can’t think straight,

the kind who are jealous of the wise and envious of the able, would consider another’s victory unfair and resort to slander and belittlement.

The ethos of Martial King Mountain

was not one that harbored filth. The mountain’s rules and laws were strict, and naturally would not tolerate the rampant behavior of petty people.
