Essence Devouring Art

”Heh, you like this kind of atmosphere, do you?”

But who would have known that Wu Dao seemed to feel no pain at all. His abstract, distorted face stared eerily at the pink Candle Dragon, sending a chill down her spine.

”Be careful!”

The golden Candle Dragon had a bad feeling.

With a swing of her tail, her Candle Dragon Ancestral Armor pulsed, twisting space-time to construct layer after layer of spatio-temporal cages around Wu Dao.

”Such insignificant tricks. You think this can hold a great dragon?”

Wu Dao scoffed. He decided to utterly humiliate these two arrogant little female dragons and crush every last shred of their pride.

Breaking the technique was very simple.

The Infinite Magnetic Shock was always effective.

But these two little female dragons truly didn’t take him seriously. They needed to be taught a harsh lesson.

BZZZZ—

Before he had even finished speaking, Wu Dao’s right hand shot up with a SWISH.

Before the three Candle Dragons’ disbelieving eyes, his abstract palm spewed forth endless Yin-Yang Power, transforming into a Yin Yang Wheel of Life and Death. Using his palm as a blade, he chopped down vertically at the spatio-temporal barrier before him!

That’s right.

It was the Yin Yang Wheel of Life and Death, one of the three Supreme Divine Techniques of the Candle Dragon Race. There was no trickery or imitation; Wu Dao had replicated it in an instant!

SHIIIIING!

The Yin Yang Wheel of Life and Death slashed through!

The silent-destruction spatio-temporal cages created by the Candle Dragon Ancestral Armor were sliced and torn apart, layer by layer, like a hot knife through butter. Its momentum undiminished, the wheel slashed toward the golden Candle Dragon.

”This is impossible!!”

The Snow Candle Dragon Qiushui, who controlled three Quasi-Emperor Weapons, her pupils suddenly shrank. She lost her composure as if she had just seen a ghost.

The Yin Yang Wheel of Life and Death.

One of the three Supreme Divine Techniques of the Candle Dragon Race, never taught to outsiders. At the Great Success stage, it was no weaker than the Ten Strongest Divine Techniques of Primordial Heaven.

Even the most brilliant and talented members of the Candle Dragon Race were only qualified to begin its Cultivation after their Dragon Blood had fully awakened, and they had to cultivate all the way to the Great Venerable realm to achieve the same level of mastery as them.

But Wu Dao!

This unbelievable monster!

He clearly wasn’t from the Candle Dragon Race!

Yet he had mastered it in an instant!

And judging by its Divine Dao Profound Meaning, his mastery was even greater than theirs! What kind of joke was this!

”Making a fuss over nothing. With such little worldly knowledge, you think you’re worthy of mating with me?”

Wu Dao scolded, displeased.

But the movements of his hands did not stop.

His left hand shot up and clenched into a fist.

Before the three little female dragons’ incredulous gazes, he then manifested the Candle Dragon Ancestral Armor, another Strongest Divine Technique, and blasted it toward the fiery, pink Candle Dragon.

’Primordial Magnetic Great Body!’

’Little female dragons!’

’Don’t you dare underestimate this fledgling Dao!’

’Within my domain, I alone am supreme!’

’I am the source of all things!’

’Fate, causality, Reincarnation, time, space, destruction, creation, race, matter, Energy...’

’So-called talents, so-called Divine Techniques, so-called bloodlines...’

’I can create them with a wave of my hand!’

’Only fools like you would treat them as treasures!’

BZZZT!

CLANG—

But in that fleeting thought,

Wu Dao’s Heart Lake Alarm Bell rang out. In a billionth of a second, he whipped his head around to see the utterly dazzling, magnificent light of a universe being born.

BOOM—BANG!!

Then,

It was as if Wu Dao took a cosmic big bang to the face. His Divine Image Dao Armor instantly withstood a Magnetic Field Energy far beyond its Limit, and his head and upper body swelled and exploded into nothingness.

The structure of his Dao Particles began to rapidly disintegrate!

If his true body hadn’t moved away fast enough,

he would have suffered a heavy blow despite the protection of the Emperor Material!

”An unknown attack. Your strange armor can’t withstand that, can it?”

In the dead silence,

the mature, snow-haired Candle Dragon’s perfectly alluring face was as frigid as ten-thousand-year-old ice. Her aura was somewhat weakened, but as her beautiful eyes watched the abstract monster continuously explode and disintegrate, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ancestral Dragon Fist!

One of the three Strongest Divine Techniques of the Candle Dragon Race!

It was personally created by the Ancestral Candle Dragon.

It involves the ultimate compression of one’s bloodline, Divine Communication Technique, Energy, and matter. When released, the fist is like the great explosion at the beginning of the universe, creating the All Heavens and Myriad Realms and disintegrating all things from a microscopic level.

It was much like Wu Dao’s Celestial Essence Magnetic Burst Fist. Both techniques reached the same result, just through different paths.

A being who had cultivated to the level of Great Venerable could not be called foolish.

The moment her Candle Dragon Ancestral Armor and the Yin Yang Wheel of Life and Death were broken, the snow-haired Candle Dragon understood just how heaven-defying Wu Dao’s bloodline and Physique were.

To win, she had to use a method unknown to Wu Dao.

She had to strike with a Power that surpassed the strange armor’s endurance Limit in order to disintegrate it!

Therefore,

for this punch,

the Snow Candle Dragon had directly burned her ancestral blood, striking when Wu Dao was at his most ’complacent’. In one fell swoop, she succeeded in breaking through the first layer of his ’tortoise shell’.

”Surrender obediently!”

In the dark space,

the two female Candle Dragons didn’t hesitate for a moment. Following the principle of ’striking a man when he’s down,’ they regrouped and unleashed various Mountain and Sea Great Divine Techniques, displaying the terrifying foundation of a number-one clan!

However—

DONG! DONG! DONG!!

The sound of a Divine Drum beating rang out!

From within the disintegrating Primordial Magnetic Armor,

two large hands shot out like lightning. They crushed the various Great Divine Techniques, grabbing the golden Candle Dragon by the head with one hand and pinning the pink Candle Dragon beneath his crotch with the other.

”This...”

The sudden turn of events once again made the pupils of the snow-colored Candle Dragon, who wielded three Quasi-Emperor Weapons, tremble as if from an earthquake. She had actually seen another set of that damned, strange battle armor!

”You were right.”

From within the rapidly expanding Divine Image Magnetic Armor, Wu Dao’s gentle, almost doting voice emerged:

”But the Dao Armor was personally researched and developed by me, assembled on a production line by the Little Star Mother, and possesses the ability to perfectly evolve and adapt... It’s a mass-produced, disposable item, you see.”

’Unique?’

’What a joke!’

’As long as I have enough Dao Particles to build the structure, I could refine a Primordial Magnetic Armor from a pile of rocks. They’re so naive!’

Mass-produced...

When the three female Candle Dragons heard this news, it was no less shocking than being struck by the Five Thunders Bombing the Top.

This terrifying, nonsensical battle armor wasn’t unique but mass-produced... If an entire army were assembled with it...

Wait.

Suddenly, the snow-colored Candle Dragon seemed to realize something—

The Primordial Army!

Isn’t that a ferocious army!

In the battle at the Five Celestial Passes,

although the Primordial Magnetic Armor hadn’t revealed its Divine Aspect and run rampant, the seventy-three Demon Gods under the Primordial King had already made a name for themselves in the Mountain and Sea!
