Desolate Devouring Art - Chapter 1688 - Slaughter
Chapter 1688 – Slaughter
A sharp glint flashed through Liu Wuxie’s eyes. He knew that after killing these three, he would be able to reach the second-level Heavenly Immortal Realm.
During this period, he had spent most of his time at the Spirit Sealing Institute overseeing the Heavenly Sealing Array. According to his estimation, the Heavenly Sealing Array would activate in another month at most.
Once that happened, it would sever the connection between the celestial and mortal realms, preventing immortals from descending from the celestial realm. This meant that as long as he endured this month, the entire mortal realm would fall under his control.
He did not hesitate to unleash his domain, covering a range of thirty thousand miles and causing Xiang Yiliu’s expression to change.
“Brother Xiang, let’s attack and crush him!” Qu San also sensed that something was wrong and knew they had to accelerate their attacks.
“Very well!” Xiang Yiliu waved his hand and summoned a purple fireball that spread across the sky.
“Divine Indigo Flame Sword Art!” A purple divine sword emerged from the fireball, releasing overwhelming immortal energy.
“An immortal artifact!” Liu Wuxie’s eyes narrowed. He clearly had not expected Xiang Yiliu to have forged an immortal artifact.
He just happened to need blacksmithing materials urgently. If he could refine this sword, he would be able to upgrade the Heretic Blade into an immortal artifact.
The Divine Indigo Flame Sword transformed into a streak of light that pierced the sky, exerting immense pressure on Liu Wuxie. The sword then flashed, splitting into tens of thousands of swords.
Qu San and Shao Shan did not fall behind. They might not have forged their own immortal artifacts, but their weapons had already reached a level infinitely close to immortal artifacts.
Facing the attacks of the three immortals, Liu Wuxie instantly found himself under immense pressure. The Divine Indigo Flame Sword easily pierced the Great Five Elemental Immortal Art.
The power of the ninth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm was truly powerful, but it had only created some trouble for him. It would not be easy for these attacks to take his life.
He unleashed the power of unity with heaven and earth, transforming into a blade that slashed down on the Divine Indigo Flame Sword.
“One with the blade? How is that possible?!” Xiang Yiliu exclaimed with a grave expression.
When he first laid eyes on Liu Wuxie, he had noticed something strange about the latter’s body. It differed vastly from ordinary physiques, as Liu Wuxie’s physique felt like an independent world.
The blade and sword sent countless sparks flying when they collided, spreading in every direction as red ripples. The shockwave instantly vaporized the surrounding meteors, reducing them to ashes.
The shockwave from the battle spread to Indigo Bamboo Star, toppling countless buildings.
When Liu Wuxie returned to his actual form, he stood proudly in the sky while a fine crack appeared on the Divine Indigo Flame Sword.
“What a powerful physique!” Xiang Yiliu’s heart bled at the sight of the crack on his artifact. He had spent countless years forging this immortal artifact, yet Liu Wuxie had damaged it in a single exchange.
While Xiang Yiliu attacked, Qu San and Shao Shan’s attacks also descended toward Liu Wuxie.
“Lunar Eclipse!”
“Astral Fall!” Two immortal arts descended simultaneously, drastically increasing the pressure Liu Wuxie felt.
Qu San and Shao Shan had both reached the eighth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm, and they unleashed devastating power with casual moves that caused countless fragments of heaven and earth to fall into the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain.
Immortal energy surged as laws intertwined. The sword ray swept across hundreds of miles, trapping Liu Wuxie within. If he had faced only one opponent, he would have resolved his enemy easily, but against three opponents, the pressure was tremendous.
“Liu Wuxie, accept your death obediently!” Xiang Yiliu kept his sword, not daring to use his immortal artifact any longer. He summoned an immense force with a wave of his hand and descended from the sky.
Three immortal arts merged to form devastating power, but Liu Wuxie had already relied on Ghost Pupil and the Heavenly Dao Book to detect the flaws in their immortal arts. The only thing he could do was kill one of them first to reduce the pressure on him.
The incoming immortal arts began slowing down as Liu Wuxie’s gaze suddenly fell on Shao Shan. The desolate world then began shaking violently as over two million immortal runes poured out at once into this killing strike.
He had only been playing with them earlier and had not brought out his full strength from the beginning. He raised his right hand, gathering nine powers together along with two million immortal runes. The power of the Nine Absolute Fist had become ten times stronger than when he killed Lingqiong Jing.
“This is bad!” Shao Shan had a bad premonition, feeling as though a venomous viper had locked onto him and prevented him from breaking free. That premonition made him involuntarily take a step back.
That single step gave Liu Wuxie an opportunity. If Shao Shan had not retreated, Liu Wuxie would not have been able to kill him. Then again, this was not surprising. The moment fear rose in one’s heart during battle, one would instantly become restricted.
“Nine Absolute Fist!” Nine powers drifted above the three men like nine rivers of stars. The moment the nine rivers converged into one, heaven and earth immediately froze as the sun and moon began to sink.
The people fighting below immediately raised their heads to look up at the battle in the sky, including Yue Jinkang and the others. After all, Liu Wuxie was their greatest target, and as long as Liu Wuxie died, the others would collapse with ease.
Without Liu Wuxie, both the Nine Dragon Palace and the Comet Temple would retreat without hesitation, not daring to face them head-on.
“What’s going on? Why has the sky turned dark all of a sudden?” Many experts at the Heavenly Immortal Realm came from other forces, and they maintained a neutral position.
The fluctuation of the immortal runes alone had given birth to countless quasi-immortals, instantly shocking everyone.
“This Liu Wuxie is too terrifying!” The Absolute Frost Palace’s ancestor spoke, his face shocked. His understanding of Liu Wuxie had come from the Absolute Frost Palace’s palace lord. After seeing Liu Wuxie in person, he knew Liu Wuxie truly lived up to his reputation.
Shao Shan froze in place, unable to move as the nine powers began stacking against each other. Lightning also began flashing, as Liu Wuxie had included lightning among the nine attributes. After absorbing the lightning from his tribulation, he had infused the power of destruction into the Nine Absolute Fist, instantly amplifying its power by several dozen times.
Ancient laws surged like an ancient dragon and burrowed into the Nine Absolute Fist, which transformed into a nine-colored mountain.
“Brother Xiang, save me!” Shao Shan felt the crisis and no longer dared to attack. He retreated without hesitation, unable to muster any courage against the nine-colored mountain.
Xiang Yiliu also realized the gravity of the situation and began forming seals with his hands, summoning a crimson ribbon that slashed toward the nine-colored mountain.
“Tyrant Suppression Palm!” A terrifying palm descended downward as the nine-colored mountain began trembling violently, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.
“You want to resist the Nine Absolute Fist with this much power? What a joke!” Liu Wuxie’s body shuttled through the sky, avoiding Qu San’s attack.
This was the terrifying aspect of Liu Wuxie. The trio’s attacks could hardly hold him back.
Logically speaking, as powerhouses at the high levels of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they should have been able to immobilize Liu Wuxie with the outburst of their aura alone. But reality proved different, as none of them could stop Liu Wuxie, who appeared before Shao Shan. The Heavenbound Immortal Finger then manifested in the sky and pierced through the Tyrant Suppression Fist.
With a loud crack, the Tyrant Suppression Fist shattered apart under the Heavenbound Immortal Finger’s immense power. Xiang Yiliu’s expression changed drastically, and he finally realized something was wrong. He instantly realized this mission was unsuitable and began cursing Yue Jinkang in his mind.
He had already made up his mind to make Yue Jinkang pay after killing Liu Wuxie, as the Heavenly Shield Pearl alone was not enough.
Without the Tyrant Suppression Palm holding it back, the nine-colored mountain descended from the sky. The mountain covered half the sky, leaving Shao Shan with nowhere to dodge. He could only face it head-on.
When Shao Shan’s immortal art came into contact with the nine-colored mountain, it was instantly absorbed, let alone breaking it apart.
“Die!” To avoid more trouble, Liu Wuxie knew he had to end the battle quickly as boundless power tore through the suppression of heaven and earth.
“NO!” Fear reflected in Shao Shan’s eyes, but he remained immobilized under the nine-colored mountain’s suppression. The Heavenbound Immortal Finger had swept aside Xiang Yiliu’s attack.
“Qu San, quick! Save him!” Xiang Yiliu roared.
“No one can save someone I plan on killing!” An icy voice echoed through the starry sky, heard by countless people.
When Yue Jinkang and the others heard that Liu Wuxie was going to kill someone, they could not help but shudder and wondered whether Xiang Yiliu’s group of three had failed to defeat Liu Wuxie. If that were the case, wouldn’t they all die?
Qu San took a step forward and appeared behind Liu Wuxie, preparing to unleash an ambush.
“Venomous Spirit Hand!” A bizarre hand appeared behind Liu Wuxie and struck him with blinding speed.
It turned out that Qu San had cultivated such a vicious immortal art. His palm moved like a viper and appeared three feet away from Liu Wuxie’s back.
“Heretic Blade!” Liu Wuxie called out as the Heretic Blade flew out of its sheath, releasing a powerful blade ray. Though it had yet to reach the level of an immortal artifact, after being nourished in the desolate world for so long, it was already comparable to one.
Nightmare City’s main function was defense, and Liu Wuxie had no intention of using it to attack.
With a loud explosion, the Venomous Spirit Hand was severed by the Heretic Blade, allowing Liu Wuxie to escape danger for the moment. But the poison still burrowed into Liu Wuxie’s body.
“Liu Wuxie, accept your death obediently. I have already poisoned you!” Qu San laughed, as he had witnessed his venom burrow into Liu Wuxie’s body.
“How ignorant!” Liu Wuxie replied with two cold words. He allowed the poison to enter his body before devouring it with the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, dissolving it into poison miasma that entered the Poison Realm.
“I must say, you’ve impressed me that you have refined the Netherworld Spirit Serpent,” Liu Wuxie praised, turning to look at Qu San with a mocking expression after refining the poison.
“Y-You recognize the Netherworld Spirit Serpent!” Qu San looked as though he had seen a ghost, unable to believe what he saw. An entire breath had passed, and Liu Wuxie still showed no signs of being poisoned. It had become clear that the poison did not affect him.
“Let’s end this farce now,” Liu Wuxie said. He did not answer Qu San and controlled the nine-colored mountain to slam down, instantly vaporizing Shao Shan’s body into thin air. With that, the attack directly blew apart a dignified powerhouse at the eighth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm.
A thick stench of blood filled the sky. The hearts of Yue Jinkang and the others sank with a bad premonition when they watched Shao Shan die with their own eyes. They began to retreat, no longer daring to fight.
The battle below had stopped completely as the two teams stood by, preventing sneak attacks from the enemy.
“Everyone, prepare to break through!” A massive black hole appeared in the void and devoured Shao Shan’s body completely.
As a large amount of immortal energy and immortal runes poured in, Liu Wuxie did not absorb them. He knew he had to strengthen the two teams as much as possible.
As for Xiang Yiliu and Qu San, he was not too anxious to deal with them. He knew he would be able to reach the second-level Heavenly Immortal Realm after refining Xiang Yiliu. The urgent matter before him was to strengthen the two teams.
The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron used only one-thousandth of a second to refine Shao Shan, pouring the energy into Shi Qian and the others from the sky and bathing them in immortal light.
As for whether they could reach the Immortal Realm, that would depend entirely on their own fortune.
