Essence Devouring Art

”How amateurish!!”

Wu Dao’s tyrannical, cold voice dripped with contempt, shattering Long Chen’s pride. ’Only five paths and he dares call it the Desperate Path? Truly a frog in a well!’

BOOM!!

Faster than a thought!

Wu Dao was also unleashing his power. The Evil Lotus unfurled, amplifying his foundation two thousandfold, releasing the Four Thousand Grades of Gods and Ghosts, then the Divine Nothingness Six Thousand Grades!

And it wasn’t a simple multiplication!

Nor was it merely a third or fourth-order increase.

Instead, as each new grade of the Evil Lotus bloomed, the total number of Primordial Magnetic Crystal Particles underwent an (n+1)th-order hyper-computational fission. With each step, its rate of growth, already nearing infinity, surged wildly!

The gap of a single layer in the Quasi-Emperor realm was indeed terrifying.

A thousandfold or ten-thousandfold increase was fucking useless.

It couldn’t bridge the gap at all.

Because that level represented a qualitative leap in the quantity and quality of one’s Proto-Cosmos, let alone trying to bridge such a gap with a particle-like Cosmic Seed.

But as long as the gap wasn’t infinite!

It could be overcome!

Under the illogical, hyper-computational fission unleashed by Wu Dao’s Primordial Magnetic Cosmic Seed, the gap between the Fourth Heaven and Fifth Heaven was crossed in an instant!

Fifth Heaven!

Sixth Heaven!

Seventh Heaven!!

The unleashing of the six-thousand-grade Evil Lotus was complete!

Relying on his Great Venerable Essence, Wu Dao forcibly crossed thirty-seven realms to reach the same realm as Long Chen.

As for combat power…

The Primordial Magnetism Path!

It commanded over two hundred and fifty thousand One-Tribulation Dao Veins!

The Five Emperors’ Desperate Dao Fist?

Shit-Eating Fist sounds more like it!

However, Wu Dao loved nothing more than to utterly crush his enemies in the area of their greatest pride, grinding them into mud!

So…

…it would be a clash of fists!!

VMMMM!!

The moment the Five Emperors’ Desperate Dao Fist transformed into an endless torrent of the heavenly Dao and bore down on him, the Great Dao thundered within Wu Dao’s eyes. He manifested all phases of existence, forming one supreme silhouette after another, their fists powerful enough to suppress all heavens.

It was none other than—

”The All-Phases Divine Luo Fist!!”

DONG!!

In a one-hundred-millionth of a second!

The two fists met, a clash of Fist Daos!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—

The pure force and Fist Intent were like two cosmic singularities colliding, erupting with a vast celestial sound that transcended the limits of perception. The force spread out in rings, shockwaves blasting through layers of spacetime and reducing them to Chaos. Endless, blazing divine light flooded everything!

”How is this possible?!?!”

In the instant of the clash!

Long Chen’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets as he witnessed an incomprehensible, unbelievable sight!

The moment their fists met!

Wu Dao seemed to have truly become the Great Dao itself, reigning supreme over all. Myriad forms, myriad beings, and myriad paths supported his fist, manifesting one colossal Fist Dao master after another, each one immeasurably more majestic than the Five Emperors’ Desperate Path!

Therefore, this punch!

Was no less than the combined will of over two hundred thousand young Fist Dao Masters attacking him as one!

’Fuck!’

’What kind of monster is this?!’

’I thought my Five Emperors’ Desperate Dao Fist was unparalleled under the heavens, but who could have thought…’

BOOM—

But Long Chen was given no time to react!

The All-Phases Divine Luo Fist crushed the Five Emperors’ Desperate Dao Fist as if it were rotten wood. The torrent of Fist Dao, carrying the weight of countless, vast Abysses, slammed viciously into Long Chen’s body!

DONG!!

Caught completely off guard, Long Chen truly felt as if he’d been struck on the head by an indescribable Great Dao, like the hammer of a singularity. The endless weight smashed into him, causing him to vomit mouthfuls of blood as he was blasted through layer after layer of spatial interstices!

”Kill!!”

A chilling cry to kill exploded!

CLANG CLANG CLANG—

The group of Quasi-Emperor Death Warriors from the Rising Dragon Celestial Dynasty activated their Emperor’s Weapon Divine Chains. Their attacks descended almost simultaneously. The Divine Chains pierced through all things in spacetime, an Emperor’s Weapon that combined both suppression and sharpness!

”ROAR!!!”

Wu Dao violently shook the Asura Battle Banner.

The ten-armed Asura Emperor Shadow opened its mouth and roared out a boundless Nether River. Inside it, a dense mass of Asura filth corroded all things, instantly eating away at the Emperor’s Chains that drew near.

In the stalemate, they couldn’t advance an inch!

The Asura Battle Banner!

The core Emperor Array carried by this Emperor’s Weapon was exceptionally special. It was forged by the Asura Emperor, who had captured the Innate Spirit Root, the Nether River Array!

The Yellow Springs River cleanses all things for Reincarnation!

It represents the Innate Spirit Root of Reincarnation.

The Nether River Death Qi buries and defiles all things, representing the worldly Spirit Root of Death. It shares a similar principle with the Human World’s Book of Death.

Otherwise, the Human World wouldn’t have spent such a great price to seize the Nether River. Using the Nether River’s Spirit Root of Death to nourish the Book of Death was also an important reason.

”The Nether River? This is bad!”

As expected, the moment the ten-armed Asura Shadow spat out the Nether River Array, the group of Peak Quasi-Emperor Death Warriors from the Rising Dragon Celestial Dynasty paled in shock. They felt the Power of the Divine Soul they had imbued into the Order Divine Chains suffering from the terrifying corrosion of the Death Qi!

However, this didn’t make them retreat!

They were Death Warriors!

To protect their master with their lives, their Daos extinguished without regret!

BANG! BANG! BANG—

In that instant of stalemate!

Wu Dao, in his Demon God incarnation, brutally smashed through layer after layer of spatial interstices as if they were glass, giving chase into the depths of the dark void!

VMMMM! VMMMM! VMMMM!!

But Long Chen, who was flying backward, was not in as miserable a state as one might imagine. Instead, his silver battle armor hummed, and countless Emperor Dao Patterns manifested, dissipating the killing power of Wu Dao’s punch!

He was the Crown Prince of the world’s Common Lord!

His trump cards were beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

This silver battle armor was not an Emperor’s Weapon but surpassed one. It was imbued with Emperor Patterns carved by numerous titans of the Rising Dragon Celestial Dynasty, making its defensive capabilities no worse than the Holy Spirit Emperor’s Plate!

”Monster!!”

The moment he recovered, Long Chen saw Wu Dao continuously smashing through the spatial interstices, bathed in countless spacetime fragments as he charged toward him. Long Chen’s pupils constricted as if he had seen an Evil God!

And indeed, that was the truth!

The current Wu Dao didn’t look human at all!

He was a vibrant lotus flower composed of countless mosaic-like pixels, sprinting at full tilt!

The six-thousand-grade lotus was stacked layer upon layer!

Within the flower, countless Gods, Demons, and evil spirits squirmed and howled. The lotus bared its fangs and brandished its claws, releasing a terrifying Life Magnetic Field that polluted life and Divine Souls!

Any being with a weak life essence!

Their physical body would be instantly assimilated and turned into a Polluted Body, while their Divine Soul would be demonized and collapse, turning them into monsters that only knew how to slaughter and howl!

TWANG! TWANG! TWANG—

An unspeakable fear began to grow within him!

Long Chen frantically activated the Path-Breaking Bow above his head, unleashing one Three-Colored Emperor Arrow after another. At the same time, he fled wildly into the deeper reaches of space!
