Desolate Devouring Art - Chapter 1689 - Fearless and Righteousness

Chapter 1689 – Fearless and Righteousness

A vast amount of immortal runes and immortal light poured into their bodies. But the breakthrough to the Immortal Realm depended on fortune, not external force.

Even Liu Wuxie could not forcibly help them reach the Immortal Realm. Their advancement to the Quasi-Immortal Realm alone had consumed countless resources, and the resources spent on them over the past few months had become impossible to tally.

Then, Liu Wuxie also found a large amount of materials in Shao Shan’s interspatial ring, along with thousands of immortal stones that were extremely important to him. After all, he had already exhausted all his resources during his breakthrough to the Immortal Realm, including immortal stones.

Yue Jinkang and the other immortals were dumbfounded. They could not believe they had already lost an immortal in just fifteen minutes. Gongsun Lin retreated after sensing something amiss. Nalan Xihe also wore a grave look when he saw this scene.

With a loud rumble, thunderclouds appeared in the sky along with the life-and-death tribulation. It turned out that Han Feizi had been the first to break through.

Perhaps drawn by the thunderclouds, Qiao Bian also let out a roar as immortal runes began flashing on his body, drawing his life-and-death tribulation as well.

They were prodigies with talent no inferior to Liu Wuxie’s and had also made swift progress in their cultivation over the years. Though they received Liu Wuxie’s help, he had chosen to assist them only because of their exceptional talent.

A resonant dragon roar echoed through the sky as Gu Yu successfully transformed into a dragon, awakening his divine dragon bloodline.

No one could maintain their composure after witnessing the death of three immortals. They stumbled, nearly falling from the sky.

“Break!” A powerful shockwave of primal chaos energy swept out as Song Ling also broke through to the Immortal Realm.

All of them were still young, unlike the older generation, whose potential had already run dry. Strangely, the moment one of them broke through, the others felt their own tribulation approaching.

The one most affected by the primal chaos energy was Fiery. As a divine beast Qilin, he naturally carried a trace of primal chaos energy. In addition to the impact of the divine dragon power, Fiery transformed into an ancient qilin and stepped across the sky. He stood on the other side alongside Gu Yu, and the two divine beasts complemented each other.

The scene grew increasingly terrifying as the tribulations piled up. It had already reached the point where Yue Jinkang and the others could no longer approach their targets.

“Everyone, retreat!” Hua Feiyu yelled, leading the others back. The tribulation of an immortal could easily kill another immortal, let alone mere mortals. With so many tribulations stacking together, their power could even destroy an entire planet.

Bi Gongyu, Shi Qian, Mu Tianli, and the others were limited by their talent. This meant it would not be easy for them to break through to the Immortal Realm.

“Scarlet Firmament Sword, lend me your power!” Xiao Luo yelled. She also wanted to break through to the Immortal Realm, unwilling to bring disgrace to her master. The Scarlet Firmament Sword flew into the sky and forcibly drew down her tribulation.

“Xiao Luo!” Luo Hai tried to stop her, but it was already too late.

Heaven and earth had sent down tribulation for the others, but Xiao Luo could not wait for that moment and triggered it herself. If anyone rashly faced tribulation before their physique reached a state of perfection, it would be no different from courting death. Thus, it was no wonder Luo Hai grew so anxious.

Even Liu Wuxie could not stop Xiao Luo now that the tribulation had descended.

Right at that moment, Fiery and Gu Yu circled above her, protecting her and offsetting most of the tribulation’s impact. Since they possessed the physiques of divine beasts, ordinary life-and-death tribulation couldn’t harm them.

“Help Xiao Luo survive her tribulation!” Han Feizi shouted, taking the initiative to get close to Xiao Luo and help her withstand part of her tribulation.

Qiao Bian and Song Ling soon followed, ignoring their own safety to help Xiao Luo.

This immediately left all the spectators silent, including Yue Jinkang and the others. They had never seen such selfless people in their lives.

When most people faced their life-and-death tribulation, they wished they could pass it on to someone else. But these people had actively helped their comrade endure her tribulation.

As immortals, even they could not help shuddering when they recalled their own tribulation. From that alone, one could imagine how tribulation had become a nightmare to all immortals.

Many immortals standing in the distance were also shocked by this scene. “What strong unity. They would rather sacrifice themselves to help their companion.”

Five or six people breaking through to the Immortal Realm was already shocking enough, but they were risking their lives for their companion. That alone sparked admiration in countless hearts. Many of them also wanted to be part of this team, to have companions they could lean on.

“I finally understand the Heavenly Dao Society’s spirit now. No wonder they rose so quickly in just a few years,” said the Absolute Frost Palace’s palace lord.

If any force had such unity, why would they worry about failing to rise? In other sects, elders had their own factions and fought one another, let alone disciples, who would kill one another for resources.

“To sacrifice oneself for another is true righteousness,” Gu Yue said with a nod, admiring Han Feizi and the others.

Discussions began spreading through the surroundings. “If a force like that grows up, it’ll be terrifying to deal with.” For most people, much of what they knew about the Heavenly Dao Society had centered around Liu Wuxie.

Everyone had assumed that the Heavenly Dao Society would fall apart without Liu Wuxie. But now that they looked at it again, they realized they had all underestimated the Heavenly Dao Society.

Based on these people’s performance, they knew the Heavenly Dao Society would remain unshakable even without Liu Wuxie. Their fearlessness and righteousness had already taken root in their hearts.

With most of the tribulation absorbed by Han Feizi and the others, the pressure felt by Xiao Luo immediately decreased. She used the tribulation’s pressure to awaken her bloodline fully and successfully welcomed it.

Watching his brothers and friends break through to the Immortal Realm, a smile rose on Liu Wuxie’s lips. This meant he could now fully devote himself to the fight.

He would be able to break through to the second-level Heavenly Immortal Realm after killing Xiang Yiliu and Qu San.

“It’s your turn now,” Liu Wuxie said, turning to look at Xiang Yiliu and Qu San as murderous intent surged from him.

Xiang Yiliu and Qu San traded looks. They both saw the solemnity in each other’s eyes, and even thoughts of retreat rose in their hearts. They knew their chances of victory would fall even further once Han Feizi and the others completed their breakthroughs.

The sky had long been covered with thunderclouds, obscuring the three of them.

“Liu Wuxie, we can cooperate,” Xiang Yiliu said, changing his tone.

“A mere ninth-level Heavenly Immortal is nothing but trash before me. Do you think I’ll cooperate with trash?” Liu Wuxie mocked. He did not hesitate to attack, unleashing the Divine Eternal Fist, which appeared in the sky like a vast galaxy.

Xiang Yiliu and Qu San had lived for countless years. Trying to cooperate with people like them was no different from asking a tiger for its hide. As for converting them into his devotees, that would only waste his Spring of Faith, as he had no use for them.

With so many immortals produced in the Heavenly Dao Society and the Heavenly Dragon Sect, their strength would not be weaker than Xiang Yiliu’s trio with some nurturing.

“Liu Wuxie, we may not fear you if we fight to the death!” Xiang Yiliu roared furiously, conjuring a claw in midair, attempting to tear the Divine Eternal Fist apart.

“Two pieces of trash like you think you can deal with me?” Liu Wuxie sneered.

His aura began rising rapidly. He had been somewhat restrained when he fought the trio earlier, and now that one was dead, the remaining two could no longer threaten him. He unleashed his domain, conjuring an axe in the sky, leaving Qu San trembling in fear. Qu San felt as though a mysterious force had locked onto his soul sea.

Liu Wuxie did not dare to unleash the immortal arts he had cultivated in his previous life, as that would only expose his identity. Moreover, those immortal arts would also hinder his growth.

“Liu Wuxie, I’ll fight you to the death!” Qu San roared. He lost his rationality after the suppression overwhelmed his soul sea. Rather than wait for death, he would take the gamble. He transformed into a streak of light and charged at Liu Wuxie, trying to create an opening for Xiang Yiliu.

Facing Qu San as he charged over, Liu Wuxie remained indifferent and did nothing. His physique was comparable to the ninth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm, and he could easily kill someone at the eighth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm with a punch, even without using his immortal energy.

The desolate world stirred and released immortal energy to strengthen Liu Wuxie’s fist.

Xiang Yiliu had already been suppressed by the Divine Eternal Fist, unable to divert his attention.

As the distance between Liu Wuxie and Qu San shrank rapidly, a cruel smile appeared on Qu San’s face. He knew he would have a higher chance of victory once he got close, crossing over a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

“A mere firefly dares to compete with the moon? Now, witness true power!” An overwhelming force swept out from Liu Wuxie, and his aura shattered the thunderclouds in the sky.

With the life-and-death tribulation shattered, the pressure on Han Feizi and the others immediately decreased, allowing them to accelerate their breakthroughs. They had also cultivated inside Nightmare City for a long time, accumulating a large number of immortal runes within their bodies. Thus, it was only natural for them to break through to the Immortal Realm.

Everyone who trained in Nightmare City had a chance to reach the Immortal Realm in the future. It was only a matter of time.

The moment Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he vanished from where he stood and threw a punch. His punch looked ordinary and unimpressive, but no one had any idea what Liu Wuxie was planning.

Heaven and earth began trembling as the surrounding space silently disappeared. A strong sense of unease also surged through Qu San, allowing him to realize that his death was approaching.

“Brother Xiang, kill him quickly!” Qu San roared, urging Xiang Yiliu to seize the moment and kill Liu Wuxie immediately.

“He can barely take care of himself now. Resign yourself to your fate and die!” Countless Demonic Purgatory Chains flew out and coiled around Xiang Yiliu.

The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron gradually grew stronger, and each chain became incomparably thick. After the chains bound Xiang Yiliu’s feet, they began slowing him down greatly.

Xiang Yiliu swung both hands, trying to cut through the Demonic Purgatory Chains. But whenever a chain broke, a new one took its place, forming an endless cycle that brought tremendous trouble for Xiang Yiliu.

He could barely catch his breath under the Divine Eternal Fist’s suppression, and the appearance of the Demonic Purgatory Chains pushed him further into a corner.

Liu Wuxie’s fist flew out like a meteor and struck Qu San, sending him flying backward like a broken kite as he shattered and disintegrated in just a few breaths.

“Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, absorb!” A massive black hole appeared in the sky, devouring all of Qu San’s energy and laws.

On the other side, Xiang Yiliu finally panicked after witnessing Liu Wuxie kill an eighth-level Heavenly Immortal with a single punch. After breaking free from the Demonic Purgatory Chains, he quickly fled into the distance.

Fear finally struck him at this moment. In his eyes, Liu Wuxie was no longer human, but a demon in human skin. If, despite being only at the first-level Heavenly Immortal Realm, he could kill an eighth-level expert, what was he if not a monster?

“Don’t you think that it’s a little too late for you to escape now?” Liu Wuxie appeared before Xiang Yiliu, blocking his path with a flicker, wearing a mocking smile on his lips.
