Desolate Devouring Art - Chapter 1537 - Fourth-Level Earth Immortal Realm
Chapter 1537 – Fourth-Level Earth Immortal Realm
Liu Wuxie’s spirits lifted after refining the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast, successfully breaking through to the fourth-level Earth Immortal Realm and manifesting the outline of a domain.
Just as he prepared to end his seclusion, his divine sense suddenly stirred, and everything outside snapped into view. A terrifying surge of murderous intent burst from Liu Wuxie, sweeping outward.
With a loud bang, a sharp impact rang out inside the Heavenly Deity Monument.
“Go on, run! I’ll see how long you can keep running!” The two powerhouses at the Heaven Gaze Realm finally caught up with Achiel and slapped him with a palm, sending him flying. If they didn’t need answers about the black hole’s nature, they would’ve killed Achiel with a single strike.
Both powerhouses had reached the first-level Heaven Gaze Realm, and their cultivation was ordinary. They had likely been training in the Limitless Sea when they chanced upon the black hole and had rushed over at once.
The palm crushed Achiel’s chest inward, yet it wouldn’t kill him anytime soon. Blood instantly soaked his clothes as he hovered in the air in silence, resolution blazing in his eyes.
“Brat, explain about the black hole that appeared earlier! If you come clean, we will consider sparing your life,” said the Heaven Gaze Realm powerhouse on the left in an eerie tone. The power of the domain sealed the surroundings, leaving Achiel nowhere to run.
The man on the right said nothing, but his gaze already said everything. If Achiel refused to tell them about the black hole today, he wouldn’t leave this place alive.
“Dream on! Kill me if you want!” Achiel decided to risk it all. Even in death, he refused to expose the Feathered Emperor’s whereabouts, because as long as Liu Wuxie reached the Spirit Clan safely, the Spirit Clan would still have hope.
Moreover, Liu Wuxie had given him his only chance to survive. If someone else had bought him back at the auction, he could already imagine the fate waiting for him as a slave.
“What a nuisance. Search his soul,” said the man on the right impatiently. He had run out of patience and chose the most direct method to get answers.
“Brother Qiong is right,” said the man on the left with a smile. He stretched out his large hand toward Achiel, ready to search his soul.
At that point, he would be able to dig out everything, including all information about Liu Wuxie. Achiel immediately prepared to detonate his primordial spirit, determined not to give them the chance.
However, just as he was about to detonate it, a hand struck out from nowhere. No one saw where it came from, and the Heaven Gaze Realm powerhouse on the left sensed the danger instantly and retreated, yet the sudden attack still pressed a suffocating power onto his heart.
The two of them had only reached the first-level Heaven Gaze Realm, and they had come to the Limitless Sea to search for a medicinal herb. After all, many planets in the Limitless Sea hadn’t fully perished, and strange herbs still grew on them.
A violent gale erupted from the palm and swept outward.
The man on the left retreated quickly, but the gale still caught him. It lashed across his face and left a bloody palm print on his left cheek.
The sudden reversal caught both of them off guard. The man on the right tried to move in and help, but he was already too late.
Space rippled, and Liu Wuxie slowly stepped out of thin air.
The moment Achiel saw Liu Wuxie unharmed, the worry on his face finally eased.
Liu Wuxie retrieved an eighth-grade spiritual pill and tossed it to Achiel. After the Sacred Soul Flower incident, Liu Wuxie had killed two experts at the Heaven Gaze Realm, so resources no longer worried him.
He had consumed hundreds of thousands of astral crystals during his recent breakthrough, yet he still had plenty left. He also carried several eighth-grade spiritual pills, though they no longer helped him much.
With the eighth-grade spiritual pill’s nourishment, Achiel’s injuries began to heal at once. This time, Liu Wuxie kept Achiel inside the Heavenly Deity Monument to speed up his recovery.
He hadn’t brought Achiel into the Heavenly Deity Monument earlier because he didn’t know him well. After so many life-and-death experiences together, though, they had forged a deep bond.
“Brat, who are you?” The man on the right asked, his gaze locked on Liu Wuxie’s face. He hadn’t seen how Achiel had disappeared earlier.
“You dare hurt my brother? Take your own lives!” Liu Wuxie said. He couldn’t be bothered to waste time on them because they only stood at the first-level Heaven Gaze Realm and weren’t worth his attention.
Even before reaching the fourth-level Earth Immortal Realm, he could already kill enemies at the second-level Heaven Gaze Realm. Now that he had broken through, his strength had transformed drastically, and mythical arts alone could crush opponents like these.
Not to mention, Liu Wuxie still possessed the Soul Forge Art and the Nether Deity Harvest.
“Hahaha!” The two men laughed as though they had heard the funniest joke of the century when Liu Wuxie told them to take their own lives.
“Brat, you’re pretty arrogant to ask us to take our own lives. What a joke!” The man on the right abruptly stopped laughing and reached toward Liu Wuxie without hesitation.
The other man, still furious from Liu Wuxie’s slap, let boundless murderous intent lash out. The duo had already sealed the surroundings with their domain to prevent Liu Wuxie from escaping.
“Brother Qiong, capture him alive! He must know the secrets of the black hole,” said the man on the left.
“Don’t worry about it. He won’t be able to escape my grasp.” The closing palm reached for Liu Wuxie’s face.
That razor-sharp claw tore through wind resistance and seemed to appear from nowhere. This was the power of the Heaven Gaze Realm. It was fortunate they stood in the Limitless Sea because if they had been in the mountain ranges, that palm alone could have torn through a mountain.
Boundless laws of the Heaven Gaze Realm roared like a ferocious beast. Liu Wuxie faced the strike with mockery flickering in his eyes, unable to understand how they could boast so arrogantly with such pitiful strength.
Liu Wuxie raised his palm and brought it down with crushing might. He used Dragon Ascent of the Nine Heavenly Dragon Forms, and no one could tell where the blow would truly land.
The opponent’s palm moved fast, but Liu Wuxie’s palm moved even faster, sweeping in like thunder. Before the other man could react, Liu Wuxie’s palm arrived first and smashed into him.
“Damn it!” The man realized the danger and stumbled back. The other man in the distance wore the same shocked expression, unable to fathom how Liu Wuxie could outmatch the Heaven Gaze Realm, because it made no sense at all.
With no better choice, the man changed tactics and met Liu Wuxie head-on, palms colliding in midair.
A deafening explosion spread outward, and ripples swept across the void, shaking the surrounding planets until they trembled. That single palm carried power no weaker than the third-level Heaven Gaze Realm.
After refining the Divine Devouring Pythonbeast, ancient laws had poured into the desolate world. Those laws empowered his true essence, making it even more devastating.
The attacker flew backward and spat a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale in an instant. Liu Wuxie had injured him in a single exchange, a result so unbelievable it stunned both men and carved horror onto their faces.
The young man’s combat strength shattered everything they thought they understood.
“Brat, who the hell are you?!” The man who was blasted away, wiped blood from the corner of his lips, rage blazing in his eyes as he itched to tear Liu Wuxie apart.
“Cut the crap!” Liu Wuxie spat. He needed to end this quickly, as more experts could arrive soon. He sprang forward and unleashed a wave of palm strikes that enveloped both men at once.
One against two, Liu Wuxie fought with savage efficiency. If anyone heard that a cultivator at the fourth-level Earth Immortal Realm could contend with two powerhouses at the Heaven Gaze Realm, no one would believe it.
Yet reality stood right there: Liu Wuxie’s swift attack, faster movement, techniques, and laws all suppressed the two Heaven Gaze Realm powerhouses.
“Strike together!”
The two men finally realized something was horribly wrong. They instantly joined forces to attack Liu Wuxie together, and a three-way battle broke out.
Liu Wuxie could suppress cultivators at the first-level Heaven Gaze Realm with sheer strength, but taking their lives wouldn’t be easy. The two relied on their domain to keep pressing down on him without pause.
A deadlock formed. If Liu Wuxie wanted to kill them, ordinary techniques alone wouldn’t be enough.
The two powerhouses at the Heaven Gaze Realm unleashed soul attacks straight toward Liu Wuxie’s soul sea.
“You want to compete with me in terms of soul attacks?” Liu Wuxie smiled. He was deliberately holding back because he didn’t want them to accuse him of bullying.
After all, his soul energy already rivaled the fourth-level Heaven Gaze Realm. He then used the Great Five Elemental Mythical Art to crush their incoming attacks, and both men’s expressions changed drastically.
Their mythical arts couldn’t match cultivators from the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, but they weren’t weak. Yet seeing their attacks crushed so easily by someone in the Earth Immortal Realm felt like pure absurdity.
A Soul Shield immediately guarded Liu Wuxie’s primordial spirit as two soul swords pierced into his soul sea. The instant they entered, the Soul Shield shattered them completely, dissolving them into pure soul energy.
Then something even more terrifying happened. When the two powerhouses at the Heaven Gaze Realm detonated their soul energy inside Liu Wuxie’s soul sea, Liu Wuxie absorbed and refined what remained.
“That’s impossible! How is your soul sea so powerful? How can you withstand our attacks and live?” The two men finally panicked, shaken to the core when their soul energy couldn’t pierce Liu Wuxie’s soul sea.
Before they could react, Liu Wuxie’s soul energy began to brew. The Soul Forge Art leaned toward defense, while the Nether Deity Harvest excelled in offense. Although the Soul Spear was powerful, it couldn’t match the Nether Deity Harvest’s vicious lethality.
The Soul Fire could incinerate everything, yet it consumed too much soul energy. The Nether Deity Harvest worked differently, focusing on the least soul energy to unleash the strongest strike, and those two soul techniques—one for offense, one for defense—fit together seamlessly.
After the Great Five Elemental Mythical Art flung them back, Liu Wuxie dashed forward and appeared right in front of them. No one knew how he did it, and the speed he displayed surpassed even cultivators at the first-level Heaven Gaze Realm.
The two men froze in total shock. When the Great Five Elemental Mythical Art descended from the sky again, the urge to flee finally sprouted in their hearts.
Only a few cultivators in the Spirit Martial Astral Domain knew of Liu Wuxie, and that knowledge stayed confined to the upper echelons of the various sects. Rogue cultivators like them had never even heard his name.
“This ends here,” Liu Wuxie said, because their battle had already drawn the attention of all nearby cultivators.
The Nether Deity Harvest manifested as a pitch-black, demonic god before Liu Wuxie. The instant it appeared, the two powerhouses at the first-level Heaven Gaze Realm began trembling in fear.
“W-What the hell is this?!” Cultivators in the Spirit Martial Astral Domain all practiced soul techniques, and they could see the Grim Reaper’s scythe with their own eyes.
