Chapter 1535 – Power of the Heaven Deity Monument

A monstrous suction force burst forth, strong enough to devour mountains and rivers.

Liu Wuxie instantly lost control of his body and sank as if into a quagmire, while that brutal pull dragged him little by little toward the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s colossal maw.

As the distance closed, a grave glint flickered in Liu Wuxie’s eyes. He understood he had only one chance, and if he failed to kill the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast, he would die.

The pull continued to tighten until he found himself only a hundred meters from the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s colossal maw. It looked far, yet it would take no more than a breath before it swallowed him.

Meteorites, trees, and clouds all got swept into the storm and devoured by the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast, and the scene pressed down with a suffocating weight.

Liu Wuxie had read about the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast in ancient books, yet this was his first time seeing one in person. That terrifying suction collapsed the surrounding space like a reverse current, carrying him along.

That suction alone could rip apart the cultivators at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm, which was exactly why Liu Wuxie kept Achiel inside the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron.

Two Soul Spears manifested, and the Nether Deity Harvest hung high in the heavens alongside them. When Liu Wuxie was at fifty meters, the pressure on him doubled in an instant.

A harsh buzzing rang out as the surrounding space began to detonate, and even Liu Wuxie trembled as cracks started spreading across his skin.

Ancient laws churned within the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s bloody maw, and if Liu Wuxie could absorb and refine them, he believed he could raise the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron’s level.

“Now!” Liu Wuxie roared. The Soul Spears and the Nether Deity Harvest vanished in a flash and shot through the starry sky.

Then Liu Wuxie called out the Heretic Blade, and it streaked forward with an afterimage trailing behind it. It moved even faster than the Soul Spears that reached the beast first. The Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s hide was harder than iron, and ordinary weapons couldn’t pierce it, so he had only one approach—strike through the eyes.

When the Heretic Blade flashed in, the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s eyes showed a trace of mockery, and the blade drove toward the beast’s right eye the moment it shut its eyes.

Sparks erupted at the instant of contact, and the sight turned unbelievable—the Heretic Blade still failed to pierce the beast’s eye.

Liu Wuxie hovered on the brink of getting sucked into the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s colossal maw, and the suction pinned him so completely that he couldn’t mobilize any mythical art.

Achiel watched in frantic panic, yet he couldn’t help at all. Even powerhouses at the Heaven Gaze Realm would choose to flee when they encountered the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast, because none of them wanted to clash with it.

Liu Wuxie hardened his gaze and threw out every mythical art at his disposal, but they barely had any effect on the beast.

“I can only rely on the Heaven Deity Monument to suppress it now,” Liu Wuxie said with a hint of madness flashing across his eyes. He knew he had no other choice. Rather than die alongside the beast, he would drag it down with him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Wuxie began burning through his true essence and forced his immortal energy into the Heavenly Deity Monument as well. After such a long period of comprehension, he had finally grasped some methods, but he couldn’t use them in the past.

To control the Heavenly Deity Monument, he could only activate it with immortal energy and immortal runes. Because he had refined dozens of strands of Primordial Indigo Aura, the immortal energy he possessed now numbered several thousand strands, yet controlling the Heavenly Deity Monument remained difficult.

The Heavenly Deity Monument roared to life, shaking the entire desolate world as countless cracks split open. Liu Wuxie couldn’t spare the desolate world a thought at this moment, so he drew a deep breath and forced himself to steady his emotions, because he stood only dozens of meters from the beast now.

“Heavenly Deity Monument, move for me!” Liu Wuxie roared and transformed into a dragon, shooting into the sky and wrenching himself free from the beast’s restraint.

However, he only broke loose for a moment. Even after transforming into a dragon, he still fell far short of the Primordial Desolate Dragon.

The instant the Heavenly Deity Monument burst out from the desolate world, it expanded rapidly in midair. Boundless eternal energy swept outward and froze the Limitless Storm.

The crushing pressure around him eased dramatically, and everything locked in place beneath the Heavenly Deity Monument’s suppression. That was the Heavenly Deity Monument’s power, enough to imprison an entire world.

With a loud crack, the heavens pressed down as fractures spread across the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast, which couldn’t withstand the suppression.

“Heretic Blade, now!” The Divine Devouring Pythonbeast had to mobilize most of its strength to resist the Heavenly Deity Monument.

Liu Wuxie seized that opening and summoned the Heretic Blade again, striking toward the beast’s eye once more. This time, the blade shot forth with even greater speed. Its path was sharper, its power heavier, and a strand of world force coursed through it.

A bloody mist burst out from the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast, and a tiny slit split open in the eyeball. But that slit still wasn’t enough to destroy the entire eyeball.

“Soul Spear, Nether Deity Harvest, it’s your turn next!” Liu Wuxie didn’t expect the slit to kill the beast, but it carved a path for his soul attacks.

Before the eyeball could heal, two spears vanished and burrowed into the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s head, and the Nether Deity Harvest followed immediately after. That three-pronged assault could even destroy the primordial spirit of cultivators at the high-level Heaven Gaze Realm.

In terms of direct combat strength, Liu Wuxie couldn’t match the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast. But when it came to soul energy, Liu Wuxie held far better odds, and he locked onto the beast’s primordial spirit as the Soul Spear pierced straight through.

With a loud explosion, the first Soul Spear threw the beast’s primordial spirit into chaos, yet it still didn’t die. The beast’s primordial spirit was far too powerful, several times stronger than Liu Wuxie’s own, and once the Soul Spear detonated, it dissolved into soul energy and couldn’t recondense.

The second Soul Spear chased in right after, moving with even greater speed than before.

Another explosion erupted inside the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s brain, and the pain drove it to roar in fury as soundwaves slammed outward and sent Liu Wuxie flying away.

Liu Wuxie crashed ten thousand meters away. If the Limitless Storm hadn’t frozen in place, it would have swept him away.

The Heavenly Deity Monument kept expanding as Liu Wuxie reached his limit. His immortal energy and immortal runes neared exhaustion, and even he had no idea how long replenishing them would take.

Even the second explosion still couldn’t tear the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s primordial spirit apart. The beast had lived there for countless years, and no one knew how many experts it had hunted. Though people had tried to kill it with soul attacks before, the results had been mediocre at best.

When the Nether Deity Harvest arrived, the Grim Reaper manifested, lifted its scythe, and descended toward the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s primordial spirit. Fear finally surfaced on the beast’s primordial spirit the moment the scythe fell.

The Heavenly Deity Monument continued drawing power from Liu Wuxie’s body, and the desolate world dried up under the strain. A vast amount of astral crystals dissolved into liquid and poured into the desolate world.

With the help of the Three Thousand Weakwater, it quickly repaired the damage to Liu Wuxie’s body.

Gong Gong still hadn’t awakened. If Liu Wuxie Gong Gong had been able to assist him, he wouldn’t have been in such a terrible condition.

With a loud crack, the scythe dropped again, and the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s primordial spirit creaked as if someone had sliced a massive meatball. That sound alone would make anyone’s scalp go numb.

The beast thrashed and rolled violently through the void, sweeping several enormous meteorites along and smashing them to pieces. Those meteorites exceeded a thousand meters in diameter, and even those at the pinnacle of the Heaven Gaze Realm would struggle to destroy one with a punch.

Meteorites weren’t ordinary boulders because their hardness exceeded that of ordinary boulders by a hundredfold. Yet they shattered under the beast’s impact, turning to fine dust.

The harvest continued while the beast kept rolling, desperate to escape this place.

The Limitless Storm surrounded it, and even frozen, it still couldn’t flee from the storm’s eye. The same held for Liu Wuxie, who stood at the Limitless Storm’s edge.

Once the eternal intent loosened, the Limitless Storm would surge back into motion, and it would drag him into the eye once more.

The Heavenly Deity Monument also reached its limit, and the beast’s struggle began to wane.

“Break for me!” Liu Wuxie’s body remained outside, but his consciousness had entered the beast’s mind alongside the Nether Deity Harvest.

Everything outside remained clear to Liu Wuxie. The blow nearly split the beast’s primordial spirit in half, yet it still refused to die. The Nether Deity Harvest could easily take the lives of cultivators at the second-level Heaven Gaze Realm, but it still failed to kill the beast in one strike.

Liu Wuxie knew he had to sever the beast’s primordial spirit completely before the Nether Deity Harvest dissipated entirely.

Liu Wuxie’s soul energy drained at a terrifying rate. He shaped what remained into the Soul Shield to protect his soul sea from the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s assault. He no longer had enough soul energy left to cast the Soul Fire.

With a roar, the Nether Deity Harvest suddenly burst out with its full power, and the massive primordial spirit began collapsing as chunks peeled off like a snowball shedding layers.

When Liu Wuxie saw the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s primordial spirit finally severed, he let out a sigh of relief. The Nether Deity Harvest finished its task and dissolved into a mist inside the beast’s mind.

“Heavenly Deity Monument, collect!” In barely half a breath, Liu Wuxie had spent all his power. Earlier, he had only controlled the Heavenly Deity Monument to hover above the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s head. If he wanted to fully control the Heavenly Deity Monument, the immortal energy and immortal runes he possessed were still nowhere near enough.

When the Heavenly Deity Monument returned to the desolate world, it became a massive monument atop its peak. The Divine Devouring Pythonbeast had lost its primordial spirit and still hadn’t fully died, and its enormous body slammed straight toward Liu Wuxie.

If the beast crashed into him, he would still die.

“Damn it!” Liu Wuxie cursed because he hadn’t expected the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast’s vitality to be this terrifying. If it had been any other living creature, it would have died instantly the moment its primordial spirit got severed.

Yet the beast moved on pure instinct, determined to perish with Liu Wuxie before it fully died. After all, this human had forced the fight to this point. Otherwise, nobody would have severed its primordial spirit.

What truly terrified it wasn’t Liu Wuxie’s soul energy, but the Heavenly Deity Monument. Without the monument’s suppression, Liu Wuxie’s soul energy would never have been able to penetrate its mind.

Liu Wuxie had no strength left, and exhaustion hollowed his frame. The true essence of his desolate world still hadn’t recovered either, so that he couldn’t mobilize any mythical arts at all. Was he really going to stand there and watch the beast crash onto him, perishing together?

“Damn it! I don’t have a choice now!” Liu Wuxie’s eyes flashed with a hint of madness. He had no other choice, and even if he released Achiel, it wouldn’t change the outcome. He couldn’t withstand an impact from a beast that size, and that collision could smash even a planet into fragments.
