Desolate Devouring Art - Chapter 1580 - Spectacular Battle
Chapter 1580 – Spectacular Battle
The sudden ambush of the Soul Spears caught everyone off guard, including the six elders of the Nalan Clan. Several elders at the lower levels of the Heaven Gaze Realm couldn’t endure it either, and the Soul Spears pierced straight through their souls.
“Myriad Dragons Unity!” Liu Wuxie transformed into a dragon and surged into the sky, and countless dragon auras poured down onto him. That vast dragon aura crushed down on everyone in an instant.
After refining the remains of the Abyssal Sea Dragon, Liu Wuxie’s True Dragon Physique had reached perfection, and he could transform into a dragon without restraint.
“Great Heavenly Dragon Mythical Art!” A dragon fist formed and plunged from the sky, dragging a violent gale that swept through the surroundings.
At the same time, the six elders of the Nalan Clan and the experts of Peach Blossom Gate refused to stay idle. They unleashed various mythical arts, and several of them condensed into a rope that tried to bind Liu Wuxie.
The instant the rope wrapped around Liu Wuxie, he yanked it taut by exerting force and shattered it with an explosion.
Liu Wuxie’s mythical arts drew strength from immortal energy, making them far stronger than the ordinary mythical arts his opponents relied on.
“This is impossible! How can his dantian possibly produce so much immortal energy!” an elder from the Peach Blossom Gate screamed in disbelief, unable to accept what he saw.
Every mythical art Liu Wuxie unleashed carried immortal energy. Casting an immortal art required immortal energy, and Liu Wuxie didn’t dare to cast one lightly, as he feared the backlash. Even so, mythical arts strengthened by immortal energy already crushed opponents at the higher levels of the Heaven Gaze Realm.
“Experts of Peach Blossom Gate, how long are you going to keep holding back? If Liu Wuxie doesn’t die, Peach Blossom Gate will never know peace!” the Nalan Clan’s grand elder yelled hysterically.
Whether it was the Peach Blossom Gate or the pirates of the Seventy-Two Caves, none of them carried a strong desire to kill Liu Wuxie. After all, their real target was the mysterious box. They held back, shoving the Nalan Clan to the forefront to deal with Liu Wuxie.
Only Liu Wuxie and the Nalan Clan carried a true mortal feud. The counterfeit Soul Pills had badly damaged the Heavenly Dao Society’s reputation, and the Nalan Clan had even allied with the Grand Unity Sect, planting itself directly opposite Liu Wuxie.
When the dragon fist smashed down, it unleashed a shockwave that ripped through the slabs underfoot. The strike remained indiscriminate, and several cultivators who failed to dodge in time got blasted away.
The battle had barely begun, and Liu Wuxie had already stirred up a commotion this huge.
“We need to leave this place immediately!”
The Nalan Clan’s grand elder formed seals and summoned two swords of yin and yang. “Demonic Yin-Yang Sword!” A terrifying demonic aura tore through space and shot toward Liu Wuxie’s waist.
“What pitiful tricks!” Liu Wuxie sneered, then dropped his palm from above and knocked both swords flying away before they could even reach him.
Many people had already retreated from the hall and watched from the entrance. “What terrifying power! He’s only at the seventh-level Earth Immortal Realm, and his combat strength is comparable to experts at the pinnacle of the Heaven Gaze Realm!”
Those who had fled lost any chance to compete for the box, so they could only spectate from the sidelines.
The Nalan Clan’s third elder began to play the zither. “Severing Affection Incantation!” He revealed himself to be an expert in playing zither and specializing in killing with its sound.
An eerie melody drilled into Liu Wuxie’s soul sea, instantly throwing his consciousness into a state of chaos.
“Die!” Liu Wuxie retaliated with a dragon roar that tore through the sky and unleashed his own sonic attack. Among the Nine Heavenly Dragon Forms, only one form represented a sonic attack.
The hall’s enclosed space magnified it. The moment Liu Wuxie released that sonic wave, it surged outward like a tidal flood and blasted cultivators at the higher levels of the Earth Immortal Realm off their feet.
In the blink of an eye, over a dozen heads burst from the sonic impact. Blood mist splashed across the hall, dyeing the stone walls red and turning the place into a living hell.
Only then did the experts of Peach Blossom Gate truly grasp the gravity of the situation, stunned by Liu Wuxie’s endless methods.
“Peach Blossom Array!” Eighty experts from the Peach Blossom Gate instantly got into a formation. The moment the Peach Blossom Array took shape, peach blossoms swallowed Liu Wuxie’s senses, and he lost track of the Peach Blossom Gate experts in the spiritual array.
“You think such pitiful tricks can stop me?” Liu Wuxie activated Ghost Pupil to locate the array’s flaw, then formed seals without hesitation and prepared his trump card.
Incoming attacks smashed into him, but the Divine Heavenly Feather Robe blocked them all. As Liu Wuxie’s cultivation rose, more functions of the Divine Heavenly Feather Robe awakened, and even a quasi-immortal would struggle to break through his defenses.
“Divine Glazed Blade!”
“Remnant Ghost Sun Sword!”
“Tide-Turning Curse!”
“Beast King Palm!”
“Invincible Sword Chant!”
Over a hundred mythical arts streaked toward Liu Wuxie at once. The moment the Peach Blossom Array suppressed him, eighty experts from the Peach Blossom Gate, the pirates of the Seventy-Two Caves, and the Nalan Clan’s experts unleashed their combined assault together.
Strangely, none of the divinekin moved. They waited, as if refusing to fight alongside humans.
No one believed Liu Wuxie could survive an onslaught like this. If these thirty experts at the pinnacle of the Heaven Gaze Realm, who stood at the top of the astral domain, failed to kill him, then who in the world could stop Liu Wuxie’s growth?
Liu Wuxie cast three mythical arts in succession, “Gate of Darkness! Great Five Elemental Mythical Art! Divine Purgatory Palace!” The instant they manifested, the entire Peach Blossom Cave trembled, and Peach Blossom Island itself shook in response.
Rocks and boulders rained down as the lesser realm teetered on the verge of collapse. If the fight continued, it would destroy Peach Blossom Island and sink it into the sea.
Peach Blossom Island had endured for tens of millions of years only because spiritual arrays protected it. Once those arrays shattered, Peach Blossom Island wouldn’t take long to fall apart.
The Great Five Elemental Mythical Art stopped all of the incoming attacks, hurling them back at the attackers. Liu Wuxie had infused this mythical art with a hint of immortal art, endowing it with power that didn’t belong to this world.
Spatial shards also began to fall from above.
Outside the Peach Blossom Cave, countless cultivators gathered, unaware of the details within. The violent commotion of the battle had drawn them there.
The towering peak above the Peach Blossom Cave had already crumbled into dust and rained from the sky. This meant the Peach Blossom Cave would never close again.
Even Liu Wuxie didn’t escape unscathed under that combined barrage. Impact hammered his body, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Meanwhile, the Peach Blossom Array kept strengthening, forcing him to devote most of his focus to cracking it.
“Carry on! He can’t hold on much longer!” The Nalan Clan’s grand elder laughed sinisterly and accelerated his attacks.
Nalan Qiuhe and Tao Xuanming had already retreated far away, not daring to approach. They were only at the lower levels of the Heaven Gaze Realm and didn’t even qualify to join this battle.
Because the spiritual array bound Liu Wuxie, he only managed to injure a dozen or so people instead of killing them outright. The Peach Blossom Array’s power already rivaled, and perhaps even surpassed, the Moon Tribulation Incineration Array.
It wasn’t that the Moon Tribulation Incineration Array was weaker. The difference lay in the cultivators executing it. With so many experts at the Heaven Gaze Realm supporting a spiritual array, the sheer force became comparable to a strike from an expert at the Quasi-Immortal Realm.
“Liu Wuxie, prepare to die!” The third cave lord chose this moment to strike, sending a bizarre sword toward Liu Wuxie.
“Undying Strike!”
The sword tore through space resistance and arrived instantly, locking onto Liu Wuxie’s throat with blinding speed, refusing to let him take the next breath. Their chained attacks aimed to grind him down.
“Garbage. Do you think that I can’t deal with you people?” Liu Wuxie asked, a ruthless light flashing in his eyes. The battle had only begun, and he had barely warmed up.
The Heretic Blade shot out as a black ray and appeared in front of the third cave lord in a flash.
Even at the eighth-level Heaven Gaze Realm, the third cave lord couldn’t threaten Liu Wuxie. Liu Wuxie knew he could kill experts at the pinnacle of the Heaven Gaze Realm with ease in a one-on-one fight.
If Gong Gong still fought at his side, Liu Wuxie could wipe them out without effort.
The sight of Liu Wuxie casually slaying an expert at the eighth-level Heaven Gaze Realm cast a heavy shadow over everybody’s hearts. The Nalan Clan was aware that Liu Wuxie had yet to use his true trump card, the fist technique.
“Today, I’ll slaughter every one of you!” Liu Wuxie roared as murderous intent surged, and every ounce of anger he had restrained exploded at once.
“This is bad! Liu Wuxie is going to use his strongest attack!” the Nalan Clan’s grand elder roared and formed seals to ignite his blood essence. The other elders followed, igniting their blood essence as well, determined to kill Liu Wuxie.
“It’s useless. None of you can stop me,” Liu Wuxie declared, drawing a deep breath, and poured all the liquid from the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron into the desolate world. No one understood what he meant, but a terrifying surge of power began to brew.
Countless demonic chains burst out and devoured the low-level pirates. They stood no chance as the chains dragged them into the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron as nourishment.
The more the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron devoured, the more laws it fed back into the desolate world, further completing it.
“Liu Wuxie is a demon!” the cultivators watching from afar screamed in horror.
“Martial Soul Art!” Liu Wuxie had carved countless martial souls and stored them over time. Now he hurled them out all at once as innumerable light spheres flew together.
The Nalan Clan’s elders trembled in fear the moment they saw those martial souls, their eyes bulging. The enclosed stone hall had a sealed exit, and everyone had packed together to watch.
If that many martial souls detonated at once, even cultivators at the pinnacle of the Heaven Gaze Realm wouldn’t be able to escape the impact.
“Quick, retreat!”
The Nalan Clan’s grand elder immediately raised a defensive barrier, trying to shield against the coming explosion.
The instant Liu Wuxie threw the martial souls, he vanished into the Heavenly Deity Monument. Even though the eternal world could no longer maintain its eternal stillness, he could still use it as a refuge.
Hundreds of martial souls turned into countless shadows as they expanded at a terrifying speed. Those martial souls belonged to humans, astral beasts, members of the Black Crow Clan, and many more.
