Essence Devouring Art

The Fallen God Grand Cosmos.

The Peak Quasi-Emperors from the Human World and the Qingming World were locked in combat, one side defending and the other attacking. Endless spacetime had completely devolved into Chaos. The folded crystal walls of the cosmos fractured, teetering on the brink of collapse, looking as if they might shatter at any moment!

”Hahaha, a bunch of fools!”

Just as the great battle reached its peak, Jin Yang, who was outside the cosmos, let out a booming, unrestrained laugh. The Profound Celestial Infinite Seal, carried by an Immortal Emperor’s decree, had fully unfurled. It transformed into countless layers of a magnificent sky that enveloped the Fallen God Grand Cosmos, sealing off any possible escape routes!

”Anyone who blocks my path dies!”

After doing all this, Jin Yang led the Peak Quasi-Emperors from the Infinite Daoist Palace and charged into the battlefield. His declaration that anyone in his way would die made it clear he held both opposing forces in contempt.

Such was the confidence of a Heavenly Domain Lord.

By monopolizing the providence of an entire Celestial Domain, the individual strength of each of their members far surpassed those of other factions. Triple Cultivation was commonplace among them!

”Damn it, why hasn’t Ming Ao succeeded yet?”

The Infinite Daoist Palace joining the battle instantly caused the pressure on the Peak Quasi-Emperors from the Human World to skyrocket. With spacetime sealed off, they could no longer bring in reinforcements. If this dragged on, they would all be buried here!

At the same time,

they were utterly baffled.

’Ming Ao has reached the Great Perfection stage of the third step of his Transverse Cultivation Sacred Body. Below the rank of Great Emperor, he is unrivaled. How could he possibly fail to take down a mere Great Venerable?’

BOOM—BANG!!

But just then, a terrifying change occurred!

The Asura Mini Cosmos, like a powder keg suppressed to its absolute limit, was finally ignited. It expanded and exploded in an incredibly short time, and an endless tide of dark Evil Qi flooded the entire Fallen God Grand Cosmos!

”AHH!!”

Caught completely off guard by the unforeseen event, the few Quasi-Emperors closest to the Asura Cosmos were struck by the impact of the mini-cosmos’s explosion. The dark Evil Qi corroded them into puddles of pus, nearly causing their Daos to perish on the spot!

BOOM—

Immediately after, a sound like rolling thunder exploded as something colossal plowed through the boundless darkness!

Ming Ao, the one the Human World was worried about, was sent flying out like a rag doll struck by a giant hammer. A hole had been punched straight through his chest, from which gleaming golden Holy Blood flowed!

”Ming Ao? How is that possible!”

”What in the world happened?!”

”Look out!”

As the Peak Quasi-Emperors from the Human World hastily dodged the Evil Qi, they were utterly horrified. Ming Ao possessed an Extreme Saint Body. Who, below the rank of Great Emperor, could possibly pierce his flesh?

Could the Asura Emperor have been resurrected?!

”A Great Emperor?!”

Jin Yang and the Quasi-Emperors of the Infinite Daoist Palace were also startled by the sudden turn of events. Their divine eyes gazed toward the gushing source of the darkness, and in an instant, their scalps went numb!

At the center of the turbulent darkness!

The Asura Mini Cosmos had completely exploded, and the Emperor’s Tomb had been reduced to ash. All that remained was a single, sky-supporting Qing Mountain, suppressing the Ten Directions!

And atop Qing Mountain!

Stood a ten-armed Asura Emperor Shadow, its spine holding up the Grand Cosmos, wreathed in endless dark Evil Qi. This peerless figure stood majestically atop the peak, like a primordial Heaven Opening Demon God descending to look down upon all living beings!

A vast and boundless Emperor’s Might!

It pressed down on the entire world. Even Peak Quasi-Emperors felt as insignificant as dust beneath this pressure, unable to suppress the urge to kneel in submission and worship!

A Great Emperor!

Has the Asura Emperor been resurrected?

The Quasi-Emperors from the Human World, the various Emperor’s Lineages of the Qingming World, and the Infinite Daoist Palace led by Jin Yang all felt their blood run cold, experiencing an almost suffocating sense of oppression!

’No, that’s not right!’

’Hongyuan forbids Emperor Level Power!’

’If the Asura Emperor had truly been resurrected, it’s impossible that Celestial Punishment wouldn’t have targeted him!’

But their shock lasted only for a moment before the various Quasi-Emperors came to their senses.

BOOM!!

”Argh! You little bastard, I’m going to tear you limb from limb!”

At that moment, Ming Ao, who had been sent flying, stabilized himself. The ghastly hole in his chest regenerated. Like a frenzied Ancient Fierce Beast, his pores erupted with endless golden holy light that illuminated the darkness. With a BOOM, he shattered the firmament and charged toward the ten-armed Asura Emperor Shadow at the core of the darkness!

”The Asura Emperor is long dead! That damned little bastard just channeled the Evil Qi from the source of the Emperor Corpse! Kill him! Quickly!”

As he charged forward wildly, Ming Ao roared, revealing the truth about the Asura Emperor—it was merely a residual image formed from the Emperor Corpse’s Evil Qi!

But even if it was just a residual image of Evil Qi!

It originated from the Asura Emperor’s Corpse. Even after hundreds of thousands of years of decay, it still possessed a fraction of the Emperor’s original killing might. Caught off guard, Ming Ao had suffered a major loss!

But the Human World didn’t care.

Their primary goal was the Nether River within the Asura Emperor’s Dao Fruit!

”Kill him!”

After learning the truth, the fear of the Human World’s Quasi-Emperors vanished completely. With only the Nether River on their minds, they followed Ming Ao and charged toward the center of the darkness!

”For the Human World to be so reckless, there must be something incredible in that Emperor’s Tomb! Annihilate them!”

Jin Yang also reacted quickly. A greedy light shot from his eyes as he summoned a Treasure Wheel that radiated the golden light of a scorching sun. It spat out one Ancient Golden Crow after another, which burned away the Emperor’s Evil Qi!

”Kill!!”

The Quasi-Emperors from the various Emperor’s Lineages of the Qingming World also realized the Emperor’s Tomb was extraordinary. They regrouped and followed close behind, launching their own assault on the source of the darkness!

It was true that the Profound Celestial Infinite Seal had sealed the cosmos, but they didn’t believe the Infinite Daoist Palace would dare risk universal condemnation by trapping and killing them all here. They were all Peak Quasi-Emperors, not some small fry that could be slaughtered without consequence!

RUMBLE!

In an instant!

Divine lights of every color illuminated the dark Grand Cosmos. The firmament in the Ten Directions shattered and exploded as the Peak Quasi-Emperors transformed into a torrent, surging toward the solitary figure of Wu Dao on the peak of Qing Mountain!

Huuu~

He let out a long, turbid breath. Faced with enemies from all ten directions, he stood as firm as a mountain.

Wu Dao carried the Asura Battle Banner, which whipped and crackled on his back. Within it, the Nether River surged, Emperor Patterns shone, and countless Asuras roared, looking as if they were about to revive and tear all their enemies to shreds!

Of course, reviving was impossible.

The moment Celestial Punishment descended, this Emperor’s Weapon would be instantly destroyed!
