Desolate Devouring Art - Chapter 1291 - Slaughtered
Chapter 1291 – Slaughtered
The artifacts hovering in the sky sensed a potent threat and released a terrifying aura, as if they wanted to destroy Liu Wuxie’s longsword. This scene instantly shocked everyone, and they wondered whether Liu Wuxie had forged a heaven-defying weapon.
A powerful oppression descended from the sky, pressing down on Liu Wuxie.
“Fireflies dare to compete with the bright moon?” Liu Wuxie snorted. He swept his hands through the air, forming a golden rune that shot into the sword.
In the next moment, a crisp sword buzz rang out; the sky seemed to shift as the blade devoured and drew in the oppressive force and used the laws of the other artifacts to strengthen itself.
No one knew what kind of heaven-defying artifact Liu Wuxie had forged. The buzzing noise continued to intensify, causing many weapons in the sky to tremble as if their king had arrived—an aura of a sovereign spread from Liu Wuxie’s sword.
Only a few weapons withstood the longsword’s buzz, and over one-third of the artifacts fell from the sky, not daring to compete with Liu Wuxie’s sword.
The Grand Unity Sect’s upper echelons turned grim. They could tell that Liu Wuxie’s longsword had surpassed most others.
“Senior Brother Mo, what should we do now? We can’t allow him to continue! We must stop him!” Many of the Grand Unity Sect’s disciples stepped forward, wanting to sabotage Liu Wuxie and prevent him from succeeding. This was their only option to secure first place in this event.
“That spiritual array protects him. How are we supposed to kill him when even the divine race failed?” The other Grand Unity Sect disciples echoed along.
They would have already charged over to kill Liu Wuxie if they could, but the Icebound Expanse Spiritual Array stood firm.
Even the samsara passage couldn’t do a thing to it, and Liu Wuxie even tricked the divine race into losing hundreds of their experts. Marching in now was no different from courting death.
“What should we do then? Are we going to watch him finish?” Many people were itching to act and give it a try. Even if they couldn’t tear the spiritual array apart, they were confident they could sabotage Liu Wuxie’s forging.
The Grand Unity Sect had poured everything into this Myriad Race Ceremony, and they had even arranged personnel to take over the Gos Star. They even went so far as to eliminate anyone who could be a potential threat to them in secret.
“We naturally can’t let him continue. Send experts to crack that spiritual array and distract him,” said a powerful Primal Origin Realm elder. Judging from his age, he should be an elder, not an ordinary disciple.
“Understood!” Hundreds of disciples charged over upon receiving the elder’s instruction.
“What is the Grand Unity Sect trying to do?” This scene baffled everyone. Though they admired Liu Wuxie’s blacksmithing technique, none of them considered sabotaging his forging. After all, they couldn’t gain anything even if they did, and it would only help others.
The Grand Unity Sect, however, was different. If they could sabotage Liu Wuxie’s forging, they could secure first place in this event.
“The Grand Unity Sect is only one step away from taking first place. Do you think they’ll let anyone spoil it?” Many sects watched in silence and even gloated. They even began to gather, wanting to see the outcome.
“How dare they?!” Elder Long roared, enraged by the Grand Unity Sect’s actions.
Even Zhuge Ming’s face had turned dark. He didn’t expect the Grand Unity Sect to be so brazen in suppressing its competitors, publicly violating the Myriad Race Ceremony’s purpose.
Although many people were also furious at the Grand Unity Sect’s actions, they dared not say a word. After all, the Grand Unity Sect was a superpower in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain; who would dare to oppose them openly?
At their current pace, the Grand Unity Sect could become the strongest in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain.
“The Grand Unity Sect’s development is ferocious, and they will crush anyone who gets in their way,” voices drifted from the Absolute Frost Palace. They opened their warship’s shield so everyone nearby could hear their commentary.
“What a pity. I wonder which planet that kid came from. If he also has a superpower backing him, he might not need to fear them,” murmurs came from the Comet Temple. Seeing how Liu Wuxie was alone with an elf by his side, most people had assumed that he hailed from a small planet.
Discussion continued to spread among the various races, drawing more attention to the spectacle, especially among those races hostile to humanity. They even looked forward to seeing the humans fight among themselves to the death.
“The Grand Unity Sect is about to act against Liu Wuxie. Should we help?” discussed the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect who clustered together. Only they were considered to be acquainted with Liu Wuxie among everyone present.
“Go if you want to die. They’re determined to sabotage at any cost, not to mention they have sent out their elites.”
Many Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples looked unbothered, as Liu Wuxie had no relationship with them, not to mention that the latter’s achievements in the sect had drawn the jealousy of many, so no one was inclined to rush to his aid.
The Grand Unity Sect dispatched hundreds of experts at the pinnacle of the Primal Origin Realm, and there was no way to turn the tide unless the Heavenly Dragon Sect sent out more experts.
Though there were a few disciples who wanted to help, the gap between them and the Grand Unity Sect was too big, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Vanya immediately steadied herself as hundreds of experts approached. Through the clash with the divine race, her growth had been meteoric.
A hint of murderous intent also began to flash in Liu Wuxie’s eyes. He had no feud with the Grand Unity Sect, but they had come to sabotage his forging.
If he ended up failing in this event, he wouldn’t be able to revive Han Feizi and save the True Martial Continent. Anyone trying to prevent him from winning would become his enemy, and he naturally couldn’t let the Grand Unity Sect succeed.
“Vanya, don’t hold back this time. Kill as many as you can,” Liu Wuxie said, his tone ice cold with fury. He could use this incident to establish his authority, and he would oblige since the Grand Unity Sect had courted death.
The divine race’s intent was understandable, as Liu Wuxie possessed the Ancestral Tree, their nemesis. However, the Grand Unity Sect was simply shameless beyond measure to sabotage him with so many races present.
Vanya only hesitated for a brief moment before she nodded. Killing members of the Grand Unity Sect would be a challenge to the elven race. Though the elven race was an independent race, they couldn’t compare with a behemoth like the Grand Unity Sect.
However, it didn’t mean the elven race feared them, as they had an ancient heritage with their own experts.
“Attack the spiritual array and sabotage him!” an expert roared as everyone unleashed a storm of dazzling attacks on the spiritual array, producing loud rumbles that created a powerful shockwave sweeping toward Liu Wuxie.
The divine race watched from five thousand meters away. The white-robed youth watched with disdain on his face. He couldn’t figure out how such a shameless sect with no hint of dignity could become a superpower.
The sword in the air shuddered as if struck by a significant impact. At this rate, Liu Wuxie’s longsword would be ruined.
“Doom Tempest!” Vanya’s voice echoed, unleashing a mighty gale that swept out from the spiritual array, enveloping the experts from the Grand Unity Sect. The Icebound Expanse Spiritual Array also shuddered and released a torrent of aura with five elements braided together.
“This is bad!” Many had assumed that this spiritual array was purely defensive and incapable of attack. However, little did they know that this spiritual array had combined offense and defense, containing the five elements, deathly energy, cursed energy, poison essence, magical force, and more.
Most importantly, it even contained the power of samsara. With so many powers combined, one could only imagine the power it could unleash.
The longsword had neared completion, and he would complete it as long as the spiritual array held out a little longer.
The hundred-odd elites from the Grand Unity Sect immediately sensed the danger and wanted to retreat, but they were far slower than the devastating power sweeping toward them.
“Poison! There’s poison everywhere!” The spectators scattered, not daring to approach. They could sense the lethality of the poison that could even kill experts at the Primal Origin Realm.
“Deathly energy! There’s deathly energy, too!” Cries echoed from the surroundings.
Doom Tempest accelerated and formed into a terrifying hurricane that swept out. Wind magic was the hardest to guard against as it enveloped the hundred-odd experts alongside various energies.
“What a terrifying Doom Tempest. It perfectly counters our Siren’s Perish Song,” the Andaru siblings watched from afar, their gazes never left Liu Wuxie. They recalled how Liu Wuxie cast this spell to repel them previously.
Cursed energy began to burrow into the enemies’ bodies through Doom Tempest.
“My lifespan! My lifespan is being drained!” someone screamed. The combined force of deathly energy and cursed energy instantly drained the life force of many people.
“The poison… it’s too strong!” Several Primal Origin Realm experts collapsed onto the ground and dissolved into a puddle of blood.
The scene was beyond gruesome and far more brutal than anyone had expected.
Silence fell over the Grand Unity Sect’s camp in and out of the White Moon Valley.
Those who hadn’t charged over felt fortunate, as they would have likely met the same fate if they had gone, especially if the poison essence had countered them too well.
Vanya’s Wind Erosion Magic drove the poison essence directly into their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of corpses lay on the ground.
“Damn it! Damn it all!” The Grand Unity Sect’s elder gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, they were the ones who provoked Liu Wuxie first, and no one would sympathize with them even if their disciples died. Only thirty-odd disciples managed to flee from the poison essence and deathly energy. This meant over seventy disciples would never rise again.
Adding the hundred-odd divinekin to that, Liu Wuxie had killed close to two hundred experts without lifting a finger. Many of those Primal Origin Realm experts would dominate in the outside world, but they died without even touching the edge of Liu Wuxie’s clothes.
Though Liu Wuxie wasn’t a match for them individually and any one of them could have claimed his life, he had killed them all with the help of spiritual arrays. In the future, anyone who ran into Liu Wuxie would have to make sure not to give him time to set up an array.
This scene stupefied Elder Long. He had no idea when Liu Wuxie had attained such mastery of spiritual arrays.
Everyone in the surroundings took in a deep breath, and even the members of the divine race showed a hint of shock. For someone at the fifth-level Origin Conversion Realm to kill so many experts bordered on a miracle.
Something like this had never happened before in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain. The Icebound Expanse Spiritual Array remained intact, and all that changed was the addition of corpses and puddles of blood on the ground.
Just then, a horrifying sword buzz echoed through the sky, and even the Immortal Slaying Domain seemed to ripple under the hum.
