Desolate Devouring Art - Chapter 1137 - Killed Instantly
Chapter 1137 – Killed Instantly
Even the sect masters of the Scarlet Dragon Cult and the Five Elemental Sect couldn’t accept the truth. They refused to believe that Liu Wuxie had truly killed all three Heaven Profound Realm experts.
The Liu Clan had only Liu Hanyi, and the trio should have easily overwhelmed her alone.
They also couldn’t believe Liu Wuxie had slain them while still at the Earth Profound Realm. The news had to be false.
“Senior, once the battle begins, I ask that you protect the Heavenly Dao Society. I’ll owe you a great debt,” Liu Wuxie said to Zhao Guanhai.
He and Zhao Chao exchanged nods; Liu Wuxie would never forget the Nine Profound Sect’s support today.
Zhao Chao’s heart surged with excitement. He had always believed that Liu Wuxie would return.
“Very well,” Zhao Guanhai agreed.
Liu Wuxie couldn’t protect everyone alone once the battle started. After completing his preparations, he vanished and reappeared before Miao Hanxuan in an instant.
“Miao Hanxuan, you old mutt. Did you really think Ji Yuzhen’s Blessing Dao Art had made you my equal? I’ll finish you today!” Liu Wuxie roared.
The moment he saw that Miao Hanxuan was unharmed, he instantly deduced that Ji Yuzhen had gotten involved.
Back in the heavenly coffin’s inner space, Ji Yuzhen used the Blessing Dao Art to neutralize Liu Wuxie’s Curse Dao Art before escaping. After returning to the Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy, Ji Yuzhen hadn’t given up.
He found Miao Hanxuan and planned to use him to destroy Liu Wuxie and the Heavenly Dao Society.
Ji Yuzhen had acquired many treasures from the heavenly coffin, and he used one to help Miao Hanxuan reach the Heaven Profound Realm.
Miao Hanxuan’s expression twisted in horror as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn’t understand how Liu Wuxie knew of Ji Yuzhen’s role in his breakthrough. News from the Eternal Spirit Mountain hadn’t spread yet, so his reaction made sense.
“How do you know about it?!” Miao Hanxuan panicked. The seed of fear planted at Heavenly Gate Peak had clearly sprouted.
“You want answers?” Liu Wuxie sneered. “Too bad—you won’t live to hear them.”
The Heretic Blade descended with unmatched might.
Miao Hanxuan’s fear deepened. He couldn’t resist. When he tried to dodge, the Origin Blade locked onto him and froze him in place.
“Save Elder Miao!” Ji Yuan and the others shouted, realizing they would lose any chance of victory if Miao Hanxuan died. Only by joining forces could they hope to stop Liu Wuxie.
“No one can stop me,” Liu Wuxie said coldly—a sudden gust of icy wind swept across the battlefield, forming a glacier of bone-chilling frost.
The three Heaven Profound Realm cultivators instinctively retreated. The glacier’s presence alone made them realize how much they had underestimated him.
The Heretic Blade slashed through the air and severed Miao Hanxuan’s head. Blood sprayed as the Demonic Purgatory Chains shot out and pierced his body to extract his laws.
“Don’t kill me!” Miao Hanxuan screamed. He was decapitated, but his cultivation at the Heaven Profound Realm was keeping him alive, albeit it was going to be a brief respite.
“I gave you a chance,” Liu Wuxie said coldly.
With a flick of his hand, he activated the Spatial Dao Art and crushed Miao Hanxuan’s head like an eggshell.
Only the destruction of the primordial spirit could kill a Heaven Profound Realm cultivator, and Liu Wuxie had ensured Miao Hanxuan’s death.
Gasps echoed through the battlefield. The cultivators in Astral Glory City had yet to receive news from the Liu Clan, so none of them could believe what they had just seen.
They couldn’t believe Liu Wuxie slew Miao Hanxuan with a single strike.
“He’s terrifying!” murmured someone from a neutral faction, trembling.
Ji Yuan and the others exchanged uneasy glances. They tried to stop him but failed. Miao Hanxuan was dead.
“It’s your turn,” Liu Wuxie said.
He wasted no more words. He stepped forward, intent on killing them all. From this moment on, no one would dare touch the Heavenly Dao Society or the Liu Clan.
Liu Wuxie made a beeline for Ji Yuan and the two remaining Heaven Profound Realm experts, and they instinctively backed away.
Zhao Chao’s blood surged with excitement. He remembered when he and Liu Wuxie joined the Spirit Jade Pavilion just a few years ago. Now, Liu Wuxie stood alone at the peak.
Zhao Chao considered meeting Liu Wuxie as the greatest fortune of his life.
“Liu Wuxie, don’t get arrogant! We still have three experts at the Heaven Profound Realm!” a voice shouted from the Scarlet Dragon Cult’s formation.
Liu Wuxie’s gaze swept over, and the speaker flinched.
“You should’ve died long ago,” Liu Wuxie growled through clenched teeth.
He hadn’t forgotten Yu Lin’s pursuit of Mu Yueying in the Heavenly Nether Battlefield. Their grudge began there.
When Liu Wuxie returned to the Southern Province, Yu Lin nearly killed Liu Tian. Xu Lingxue and Murong Yi had also almost fallen to the Scarlet Dragon Cult.
It was an enmity that could never be resolved. Even if they hadn’t provoked him again, Liu Wuxie would have still hunted them down.
He raised a finger and fired a chilling burst of energy at Yu Lin.
“Ancestor, save my son!” cried the Scarlet Dragon Cult’s sect master, knowing Liu Wuxie could easily slay someone at the Earth Profound Realm.
Yu Tai struck with his palm and shattered the icy blast midair.
Liu Wuxie snorted. A terrifying suction erupted from his eyes, enveloping Yu Lin’s soul even from thousands of meters away.
“My head hurts!” Yu Lin shrieked as Liu Wuxie’s soul-capturing force ripped his soul from his body. His spectral form hovered midair while his physical body collapsed.
“Soul binding! He knows a soul-binding technique!” a Quasi-Heaven Profound Realm cultivator cried out, drenched in sweat.
Soul binding techniques required a powerful primordial spirit to wield, and few could master them. However, Liu Wuxie’s Soul Capture Art was clearly no ordinary method.
Yu Lin’s soul trembled as he watched his body fall.
“Ancestor, save me!” he wailed in panic.
Yu Tai swung his weapon, trying to sever the soul link. If he succeeded, Yu Lin’s soul could return to his body.
“Fiery!” Liu Wuxie called.
Fiery burst out from the beast pouch.
“Burn!” Liu Wuxie ordered.
The True Samadhi Fire erupted, engulfing Yu Lin’s soul. His anguished screams echoed while the crowd froze in horror.
Burning a soul inflicted torment worse than death. The pain was unimaginable.
The Scarlet Dragon Cult’s sect master stood grief-stricken, powerless to stop it.
Yu Tai roared in fury, but his efforts failed to sever the soul connection.
“Together!” Ji Yuan shouted.
They had no choice. They had to kill Liu Wuxie, or the consequences would be unimaginable. The grudges between them could never be resolved, after all. All three Heaven Profound Realm cultivators charged at Liu Wuxie in unison, forming a triangular formation around him.
“I’ve been waiting,” Liu Wuxie said coldly.
He launched forward like a cannonball, targeting the ancestor of the Five Elemental Sect. The trio couldn’t keep up with his speed.
Liu Wuxie controlled the surrounding space with the Spatial Dao Art.
“Die!”
He struck, tearing the Five Elemental Sect’s ancestor apart in midair. Though the man’s divine sense lingered briefly, only reincarnation could save him at this point.
Liu Wuxie summoned the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, which devoured all the surrounding energy. After reaching the eighth-level Earth Profound Realm, Liu Wuxie’s power doubled. His raw, physical strength alone could kill Heaven Profound Realm experts.
The battlefield fell silent. No one could believe what they had just witnessed.
Heaven Profound Realm cultivators once seemed invincible on the True Martial Continent, but today, that long-standing belief was shattered.
Ji Yuan and Yu Tai froze. They expected an epic battle, but Liu Wuxie had destroyed their ally in a single blow.
Despair crashed over them like a wave of rot and death.
In the distance, a shadowy figure hovered silently, watching the scene unfold.
“It’s your turn now,” Liu Wuxie said to Yu Tai and Ji Yuan.
He still had to erase their sects from the Central Plains.
“Pavilion Master! Are you going to watch us die?!” Yu Tai roared toward the sky.
The Spirit Jade Pavilion had gathered them to destroy the Heavenly Dao Society. Now that they had suffered immense losses, the pavilion still showed no sign of intervening.
Silence answered him.
Liu Wuxie advanced steadily. As he refined the Five Elemental Sect’s ancestor, his aura thickened, and more star nodes lit up around him.
