Essence Devouring Art

As for eating them?

Utterly unnecessary.

The paltry few Teleportation Points offered by the attribute panel simply weren’t worth it. It was far better to just slaughter them, convert their deaths into battle merits, and exchange those for Five Tribulations Dao Source.

HUMMM—HUMMM—HUMMM—

With every step Wu Dao took, invisible Extreme Shock Magnetic Rings radiated out in all Ten Directions from his footfalls. The Great Annihilation Darkness followed in their wake, corroding all existence.

Whether it was an Emperor’s Son...

...or any of the various Big Killing Artifacts...

...they were all as fragile as paper!

They tried to tear the darkness apart, charging forward relentlessly, wave after wave, refusing to retreat even in death. Yet all the magnetic field Energy they unleashed disintegrated at a fundamental level upon contact with the Extreme Shock Domain, simply ceasing to exist!

A Power beyond comprehension!

How could they possibly resist?

And so, an absolutely stunning scene unfolded.

The endless armies of the Tuomu and Luo Fish Races—two great Mountain and Sea Dominators—were so vast they blotted out the sky and covered the seas!

And because of one person...

...that dominating, black-robed figure who continued to stride forward...

...they were brought to a dead stop, unable to advance another inch!

With every footfall!

It was as if a Dark Demon Lord were devouring a World. The army blocking his path, everything that existed there, was silently annihilated, transforming swathe by swathe into a Vacuum Domain!

One step, one extermination; an army of thousands turned to nothing!

’A Demon Lord has truly descended from the heavens...’

Upon the Great Saint Line, the various Military Marquis of the Garrison Cities stared, dumbfounded. They watched as the Primordial Pass battlefield was steadily purged by a single man, a shock beyond words gripping their hearts.

’One man holding a pass against ten thousand?’

’No!’

’Why bother defending? Annihilation is the answer!’

His might and presence were so suffocatingly domineering that they suppressed all feelings of pride and admiration, leaving only a single emotion in their hearts: fear!

”KILL!!!”

The shock did not last long. Battle cries that seemed to shatter spacetime itself dragged the various Military Marquis back to their harsh reality.

The unknown powerhouse who had emerged from Primordial Pass, though terrifyingly powerful, could only deal with the enemies in that sector of the battlefield. The other Garrison Cities were still as insignificant as dust before the world-ending torrent.

Saint Master Pass had all but fallen.

Armies led by Venerables were charging toward the Great Saint Pass with the force of a battering ram.

’Unless an individual’s Power is enough to overturn the heavens, it can’t change a thing in a war of such absolute, crushing force.’

’We’re still going to die.’

’The Great Saint Pass cannot be held!’

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Just as the Military Marquis despaired, the resounding clang of a torrential flood crashing against Divine Iron echoed, pulling their deadened, ash-like spirits back into the light.

”What is this...?”

The soldiers of the Garrison Cities looked up in astonishment.

There, standing silently before each of the Great Saint Pass Cities along the arcing front, were the towering silhouettes of magnificent Demon Gods!

Their forms were like mountains propping up the heavens, taller than the Nine Heavens!

Seventy-Three Demon Gods!

They truly looked like a great dam holding back the tide of Chaos!

They blocked the innumerable, torrential Mountain and Sea Army, keeping it outside the Garrison Cities. The invaders crashed into them and burst into seas of blood, utterly unable to push forward another inch!

It seemed that the Seventy-Three Demon Gods were surrounded by a field of absolute destruction; anything that drew near was instantly turned to ash!

PFFT!!

But before the Military Marquis could get a closer look, their divine senses were devoured as if by a black hole. Their very souls were nearly sucked out of their bodies, forcing them to cry out in agony and spit blood. They dared not observe any longer.

’Where in the world did this pack of Fierce Gods come from?’

’They don’t even distinguish between friend and foe!’

”You’re not needed at the Great Saint Pass! Scram to the rear and make yourselves useful!”

Wu Dao’s domineering voice thundered across the defensive line.

The Military Marquis heard his words as if they were a Celestial Decree, unable to muster any thought of defiance. They immediately led their troops to reinforce the Garrison Cities behind them.

At the same time.

”Deploy armor! Advance!!”

Outside the core pass of the front line, Zhao Jianji unleashed his Primordial Magnetic Demon Body. His physique became as magnificent as billions of brilliant star clusters condensed and stacked together. With a sudden, thunderous roar, he strode forward!

RUMBLE!

As Zhao Jianji’s voice faded, the great dam began to advance!

The Seventy-Three Primordial Demons holding the line stepped forward in unison, savage grins on their faces. They unleashed their Primordial Magnetic Armor—a series of star-like rings that began to orbit their bodies!

HUMMM—HUMMM—HUMMM—

In an instant, the rings expanded and swelled!

The Primordial Magnetic Dao Field repelled and annihilated everything!

It created the same effect as the Infinite Magnetic Shock. A Great Annihilation Darkness spread out before the dam, and the Mountain and Sea Army evaporated into nothingness!

The Primordial Magnetic Armor!

It was the ultimate battle armor, created by Wu Dao.

Its macro and micro components were built from pure Dao Particles, and the interactions between its magnetic fields made it appallingly durable!

The field of the Primordial Magnetism Path it released was even more potent—like an upgraded version of a Regulated Black Hole.

Once the armor was deployed, it would increase the mass of the Primordial Magnetic black hole, allowing it to tear apart everything within its event horizon—matter, rules, and order—and grind it all down into Dao Particles!

If it were fully activated, it could rearrange the Dao Particles!

By altering the forces within the microscopic magnetic field structure of the Basic Particles, it could release an amount of Energy no less than an attack from Wu Dao himself!

With the Primordial Demons’ current strength, they were not yet able to fully activate the Dao Armor.

However, even just using the Primordial Magnetic black hole it formed was enough for them to sweep aside any enemy below the rank of Venerable.

And there was a contingency for dealing with Venerables.

Star Mother could take control of all the Dao Armors and unleash their full Mighty Power with ease.

Beyond that, the Dao Armor had one more, utterly terrifying feature—

It could control the Divine Image Heaven!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Sea of Death surged and the battlefield roared!

As the dam formed by Wu Dao and his Seventy-Three Primordial Demons advanced step by step, it was as if massive Worlds were crashing into the battlefield, shaking the Garrison Cities in the rear so violently that they bobbed up and down with the impacts!

”Aargh... No!!”

”What in the world are these monsters?!”

”Damn it, we’ve walked into an ambush!”

All at once, the vanguard and both flanks of the two Mountain and Sea Races suffered a devastating blow!

The front lines died while the rear fell into chaos!

No matter how fearless they were, facing such a one-sided, crushing slaughter made them tremble to their very core. Their morale plummeted again and again until their ranks completely broke.

A mere seventy-four individuals!

They were forcing a heaven-spanning army of elite soldiers and fierce generals to retreat again and again, completely powerless to resist!

This was an utter disgrace!

Even the Tuomu at the exceedingly dangerous Eight Celestial Passes had never suffered such a humiliation!

”Retreat!!”
