Essence Devouring Art

BOOM—RUMBLE!

A collision of heaven and earth!

It was as if a God and Demon standing amidst the Chaos had clenched its fist and struck an eggshell World!

Within the Eye of the Gap’s Evil Domain, which spanned a five-hundred-li radius, a thousand mountains and ten thousand peaks simultaneously exploded. The void continuously shattered, and the earth was blasted to dust.

This entire small World,

under the might of this single punch,

was just like an eggshell, about to be utterly crushed, as fragile as paper.

BANG—CRACK!

For the brief moment the Eye of the Gap frowned in shocked disbelief, countless cracks spread across the dome of the Evil Domain, which roiled with chaotic tempests. Then, it suddenly exploded, shattering to reveal a massive opening.

Beyond the rift in the dome,

an eye of a God and Demon appeared, formed from countless bolts of gray lightning and Thunderbolt. It was like the Celestial Emperor looking down upon all living things, intent on meting out punishment and destroying all life in the World. The sight caused the Heart Lake Alarm Bell of the Eye of the Gap to instantly ring wildly.

WHOOSH—

The next moment,

”I’ll show you, you worthless filth, exactly what gives me the right!”

Along with this cold rebuke,

innumerable gray Thunderbolts poured down as if the Celestial River had burst its dams.

They flooded in through the rift in the Evil Domain’s dome, transforming into two sky-blotting hands that spewed countless bolts of Celestial Punishment lightning. The hands grabbed both sides of the rift and viciously tore it apart!

RUMBLE!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

With that single tear,

the entire, shaking World of the Evil Domain could no longer sustain itself. Amid a colossal shattering sound that echoed through the World, it utterly imploded, revealing the apocalyptic sky outside, where dark clouds roiled and Thunderbolts crashed.

CRACKLE—

After tearing open the Evil Domain, the hands of Celestial Punishment once again blotted out the sky, unleashing a torrent of gray energy. One hand descended upon the stunned Eye of the Gap.

The other tore apart the invisible hand,

grabbing the clone that had exploded into countless cells and dragging it deep into the Thunder Sea.

HUMMM~

At the same time,

facing the massive hand of lightning and Thunderbolt that enveloped the world, attacking with the endless apocalyptic Power of Celestial Punishment,

the Eye of the Gap lost all trace of its former arrogance. Its expression turned grave as it activated Reversed Celestial Spirit, forming a colorless, protective membrane around its body that reversed all attacks.

CRACKLE—

As the torrent of lightning and Thunderbolts from the gray hand of Celestial Punishment struck the surface of the Eye of the Gap’s body, they rebounded like rubber strips hitting a wall, shooting back toward the massive hand in the sky.

A taste of its own medicine.

And in a far more explosive fashion.

The gray hand of Thunderbolt was soon annihilated in the void by the ceaseless barrage of reflected attacks.

But the Eye of the Gap couldn’t bring itself to feel happy.

Because it had just used nearly all its strength.

Nearly all of it!

Just to reverse a single, casual blow from the creature it suspected was the ”bug’s” true body.

In that case, his true body...

’Just how strong is it?’

BURP~

While the Eye of the Gap was still reeling in shock and uncertainty,

a sound like a burp from being overstuffed rang out behind it without any warning.

’When?’

Terrified, it whipped its head around.

There, another Wu Dao had appeared before it.

His stark black robes fluttered in the wind.

He stood nine feet tall, an imposing figure who seemed to hold up the heavens.

His appearance was exactly the same!

But what was different...

...was the feeling this Wu Dao gave it—

Danger!

Extreme danger!

”A bug?”

Wu Dao cracked his neck, producing a grinding clang like Divine Iron on Divine Iron. The smile spreading across his lips twisted into a demonic, frenzied grin.

”Come on. Let me see just where you get this courage of yours!”

BOOM!!

The words had barely left his mouth

when they were drowned out and torn apart by the sound of a punch that seemed to make the very world explode.

In that instant,

the Eye of the Gap felt heaven and earth disappear. The World became a blank void.

Within that endless, empty void, there was only the Divine Demon Fist—a fist that could shatter Chaos and annihilate all existence. Moving faster than its Divine Soul could react, it smashed viciously into its head!

The exact same attack!

But this time—

CLANG!!!

The tremendous clang of colliding Divine Iron resounded through heaven and earth!

An indescribable Power flooded into it!

In an instant, the Eye of the Gap began to swell like a leather ball being pumped full of air. It expanded with frantic speed, and in less than the blink of an eye, it had become a bloated, mountain-sized figure.

RUMBLE—

But even so,

the aftershocks of the Power from this punch were still terrifying.

Even from a great distance, one could clearly see

an intensely incandescent white point appear in the sky, which then released a torrential shockwave of Power in the next moment.

The shockwave originated from the Eye of the Gap.

It fanned out in a cone, rapidly spreading toward the ground, displacing and annihilating everything in its path—tangible and intangible alike.

Finally, it poured into the Abyss!

BOOM!!

The indescribable impact of the Power

instantly blasted, collapsed, and sunk the Abyss for another four to five hundred li in all directions!

Thousands of li of the continental shelf were shaken!

The entire Ten Thousand Peaks Snowfield was rocked by massive earthquakes of varying intensities—a truly world-ending catastrophe.

At the epicenter of the shockwave,

the Eye of the Gap, now a giant, bloated ball, was covered in cracks, stretched to the breaking point by the Power Wu Dao had injected into it. Gritting its teeth, it struggled to raise its head and said, its voice Sen Leng:

”Fool! So what if this is your true body? My Divine Technique... is absolutely invincible against anyone at the same cultivation level!!”

BOOM!!

The mountain-sized ”ball” of flesh suddenly contracted. All the absorbed Power condensed into a single, savage point and shot back fiercely toward Wu Dao.

Wu Dao’s true body was indeed very strong!

At least at the level of Divine Power Five Transformations!

It had already touched the very Limit of its Reversed Celestial Spirit!

But as long as that Limit wasn’t exceeded,

any Power,

Reversed Celestial Spirit could absorb it and return it to its sender!

It had nothing to fear!

But in the next instant,

something happened that made every eye on the Eye of the Gap’s body nearly bulge out of its sockets!

BUZZZZ—

Countless currents of iridescent Primordial Magnetism erupted from the pores of Wu Dao’s body, transforming into a brilliant Primordial Magnetic True Gang.

The moment the Primordial Magnetic True Gang expanded,

the Power reflected by the Eye of the Gap seemed to slam into a highly elastic wall. The instant it made contact, it was sent hurtling back again, fiercer and more overwhelming than before!

BOOM—!

The next instant,

the Eye of the Gap’s newly restored body swelled up once more like an overinflated balloon.

It was even larger than before, its surface covered in even more cracks, looking as if it would completely burst at any moment.
