Essence Devouring Art

The Southern Border Front!

The Mingquan Pass City area!

After the Garrison City, which had spanned dozens of miles, vanished, all that remained upon the land was a massive abyss.

Within a radius of several hundred miles.

Furious gales and shockwaves howled and swirled. The mountains and land had been pulverized in the brief preceding battle, turning the area into what looked like a battlefield of Gods and Demons.

”AHH! Wu the bandit, I swear to kill you!!”

”We’ll make a living sacrifice of this animal!”

”Give me your life!”

RUMBLE—

Blazing, multicolored Divine Lights surged with violent abandon, blanketing the sky. The tremendous roar of thunderous explosions boomed in all directions!

After Wu Dao had suppressed and killed Tang Che, he crushed Mingquan Pass City and its eighty thousand soldiers with a single slap of his palm.

The Divine Ability Users from the Southern Alliance who had rushed in as reinforcements saw this, and their eyes nearly split from their sockets with rage. They went completely berserk, recklessly activating their Divine Techniques. They aimed their deadly blasts at Wu Dao, who stood at the center of the world, his black robes fluttering in the wind.

In that moment, across a radius of several hundred miles, Primordial Qi, Spiritual Qi, and Soldier Qi began to boil like an erupting volcano. Carried by the various Divine Techniques, an indescribable Power of Slaughter instantly tore the sky, the earth, the void, and all directions into a blurry state of Chaos!

’Thirty-five...’

’Tsk.’

Endless killing intent filled the Ten Directions.

The instant the immense, heavy aura of death pressed down, the gales and shockwaves felt as heavy as the deep sea.

Yet Wu Dao’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He stood firm as a mountain in the eye of the storm, his consciousness blanketing the battlefield. In an instant, he had confirmed the number and strength of the attacking Divine Ability Users.

’The number checks out.’

’As for their strength...’

’It’s also quite astonishing.’

Thirty-five Divine Ability Users.

Twenty were at the Divine Power First Transformation, ten at the Divine Power Second Transformation, and five at the Divine Power Third Transformation.

Among them, there were two individuals.

A man and a woman—one a martial cultivator, the other a celestial.

Their strength was only a notch below that of Fengqian Gold.

They were clearly masters at the Peak of the Divine Power Third Transformation.

If this group joined forces, and their target was caught unprepared, their furious, all-out assault could even trap and kill a Divine Power Fourth Transformation expert in one swift strike!

Unfortunately for them...

Although Wu Dao had not reached the Divine Power Fourth Transformation, he was by no means a normal Divine Ability User.

Unless he was caught in an inescapable trap, numbers meant nothing to him!

Because—

”You worthless rabble think you’re worthy of fighting me?!”

The instant the endless light of slaughter descended upon him, Wu Dao’s voice boomed like thunder as he roared, activating his Undying Transformation, Divine Ghost Heaven, and Divine Thoughtless Heaven all in the same instant!

BOOM!!

In that same instant, it was as if a gate to the Abyss had opened at the center of the world. An Abyss Demon Lord seemed to crawl forth, endless, pitch-black, glazed flames erupting from its every pore.

They formed two great, glazed suns in the sky, illuminating the land for hundreds of miles. Within them, Dragon Whales sang in chorus as a Black Tortoise and a Kunpeng circled, releasing faint wisps of a Sacred Spirit’s divine might.

Any living being below the Divine Power Third Transformation bathed in the radiance of these great, black, glazed suns felt their hair stand on end as the flow of their blood and qi stagnated.

It felt as though an Innate being from primordial times had descended upon them. An ancient pressure, originating from the age of Primordial Chaos, triggered an instinctual fear deep within their very being, a primal urge to submit. Just like that, their power was reduced by several tenths!

An Innate Sacred Spirit, the Primordial Ancestor of all living things!

Even though Wu Dao had only just set foot on the path to becoming a Sacred Spirit, his physical body and bloodline had already begun to exude some of its divine might.

Those weaker than him felt as if they were in the presence of a descended god. It took immense courage just to look at him directly!

This was a form of suppression that came from the very source of one’s bloodline, from the apex of the food chain. It was a pressure on a genetic level that even the strongest will could not resist!

Otherwise, how could the Horizontal Refining Tenth Dao Gate be worthy of its title as the pinnacle of extreme yang, the path to becoming a Human World Yang God?

However, this pressure alone was not enough. Wu Dao intended to clear the entire field in an instant! Anyone below the Third Transformation had no right to even fight him!

”Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield, activate!”

BZZZZ—

In the instant his thought took form, before the Divine Ability Users of the Southern Alliance could even recover from the terrifying, sacred pressure, something new appeared. At the center of the world, which was already being flooded by the light of their Divine Techniques, a glazed, Primordial Magnetic sun suddenly blazed to life. It was even more dazzling than the two great suns already in the sky!

At first, it was just a ”small dot.”

But within a thousandth of a second, the Primordial Magnetic True Gang began to spin at an extremely high frequency. It expanded, shooting out billions of glazed electrical currents that repelled and annihilated all Primordial Qi, Spiritual Qi, Soldier Qi, and Divine Light in their path.

It formed a magnificent, crystal-clear sun, dozens of kilometers in diameter, constructed from countless glazed, bio-magnetic currents.

Its Magnetic Field Power, as irresistible as a black hole’s, instantly became the world’s Primordial Magnetic core. It threw all creation into disarray, forcibly linking to and dominating every other magnetic field in the area.

’Using my own spear to pierce my shield?’

From the center of the Primordial Magnetic True Gang, Wu Dao’s body resembled a glazed celestial crystal erupting with thunder and fire. He looked down upon the world, his eyes as deep as the Abyss, cold and merciless, like a True God’s Divine Descent:

”You foolish and pathetic weaklings.”

RUMBLE—

An instant later, the thirty-five torrents of divine, slaughtering power that had been surging through the Ten Directions finally shattered the void and descended, completely submerging the magnificent, sun-like Primordial Magnetic Gang Shield.

And then...

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!—

A clangor that transcended any clash of metal in the world exploded in all directions. It was as if an indestructible, immortal bell had appeared at the center of the surging ocean of destructive Divine Techniques.

It spun and collided at an incredible speed.

It twisted, converted, and redirected the magnetic power within each Divine Technique, then violently flung them back out into the Ten Directions.

”This is bad! Get back!”

The moment the Divine Power was twisted, Mo Tai, the leader of the Southern Alliance’s ”Demon Slaying” operation, felt his Heart Lake Alarm Bell ring frantically. He roared like thunder.

He felt an extremely dangerous aura lock onto the more than twenty Divine Power First Transformation users on the battlefield.

But it was too late...

RUMBLE—

The soundwaves of his roar hadn’t even spread.

The multicolored ocean of Divine Light was suddenly sucked into a maelstrom, converging entirely upon the great, glazed, electromagnetic sun at its core.

One Divine Technique after another...

...whether celestial, martial, or military in nature...
