Desolate Devouring Art - Chapter 988 - Void
Chapter 988 – Void
Liu Wuxie’s gaze suddenly became terrifyingly calm. With Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan approaching even closer, Liu Wuxie knew he only had one chance. There would be no path to survival if he couldn’t escape.
However, his odds of survival were close to zero, as he faced four experts at the Earth Profound Realm. His brows were locked together as an immense, murderous intent surged outward like a tidal wave.
“Liu Wuxie is finished,” someone commented. “If Wang Qi hadn’t joined in, he might still have a sliver of hope. But now, he’s as good as dead with Four Earth Profound Realm experts surrounding him.”
Though everyone disliked Liu Wuxie, they had to admit that this battle would go down in history as the battle in which Liu Wuxie faced four Earth Profound Realm experts alone.
“Even in death, he is the glorious one. His feats will echo for generations,” someone said with pity.
Everyone felt heavy-hearted that such a prodigy would die here.
Gu Yu and Liu Feng watched with bloodshot eyes, wanting to charge into the battlefield.
However, the four assassins stood blocked their way. They couldn’t feel sorrow, for the power binding their devotion to Liu Wuxie would dissolve if he died, returning their freedom.
“Liu Wuxie, do you have any last words?” Liang Yi struck with the Overlord Disaster Fist.
“Liu Wuxie, if you’re willing to spit out your secrets, we will consider granting you a painless death,” Mu Yuanyi added, still craving for Liu Wuxie’s secrets. They could become the next Liu Wuxie if they obtained his secrets.
Suddenly, Liu Wuxie let out a defiant roar that pushed back even the Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan.
“I, Liu Wuxie, have lived my life honorably. My conscience is clear towards my heart, the heavens, the earth, or anyone else! To fall to this fate today… I swear I will take your heads if I live through this!” Liu Wuxie thundered, his voice echoing across the battlefield. His boundless murderous intent erupted and formed a demonic avatar behind him.
The sight of the avatar alone was enough to strike fear in everyone.
Liu Wuxie was boiling with rage, and the entire battlefield fell into a dead silence after they heard what he said.
Everyone knew Liu Wuxie spoke the truth and had never acted against his heart, the heavens, the earth, or another soul. And yet he stood here surrounded by so many people.
“So what? You won’t have a chance now. No one can save you today!” Liang Yi scoffed as he struck with the Overlord Disaster Fist.
The White Dragon Peak disciples all stood in silence. No one mocked Liu Wuxie and only felt pity that such a prodigy was about to fall.
“Brother Qiao, Brother Han, thank you two for everything. Now, go!” Liu Wuxie turned to look at Han Feizi and Qiao Bian.
“Brother Liu, you can’t die!” Han Feizi cried out anxiously.
If Liu Wuxie died, what fate would his family face? Moreover, the death of a chosen one came with severe consequences.
Qiao Bian said nothing and waited for Liu Wuxie’s final words. Though he knew he could do nothing to help, it felt wrong for him to leave now.
“Life and death no longer matter. You both can leave now,” Liu Wuxie said, waving them off.
The Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan had begun to converge, and they would all die there if they didn’t leave now.
“I won’t leave!” Han Feizi insisted. He refused to abandon Liu Wuxie, even if it meant death.
Qiao Bian stood silently, his expression equally grave.
“I’m blessed with friends like you two, which makes my life worth it,” Liu Wuxie sighed.
At the edge of the battlefield, Jiang Le, Yu Zhibai, and Shen Rong tried to rush over, but the Earth Profound Realm aura exploded and blasted them backward.
“Junior Brother, don’t be afraid! We’ll accompany you!” Jiang Le roared.
“You won’t be alone!” Yu Zhibai laughed. He tried to mask his sorrow, but tears streaked down his cheeks as he spoke.
Though Shen Rong said nothing, the wings behind him unfurled as he let out a roar, resisting the overwhelming pressure and trying to press forward.
“Senior Brothers, I am content with those words,” Liu Wuxie said before he struck with his palm, sending the three flying out of the battlefield to safety.
“Junior Brother…” Jiang Le, Yu Zhibai, and Shen Rong knelt on the ground in silent agony.
Liu Wuxie couldn’t bear to look at them. He turned to Qiao Bian and Han Feizi instead.
“I’ll leave them in your hands. Let’s share wine again if we meet again in the next life!” he said.
A powerful aura swept from Liu Wuxie as he raised his hands to the sky. Immortal runes began to take form into a devastating force. He planned to unleash Annihilation Fist to drag his enemies to oblivion, even in death.
“No!” Yuan Zilong’s heart seized as he began to retreat.
“Don’t you think it’s too late to run now?” Liu Wuxie had no intention of letting them go.
A powerful suction force pinned Yuan Zilong in place. This was the power of the immortal rune. The moment Liu Wuxie executed the Annihilation Fist, the entire world trembled.
“This is bad! We have to leave now! The space is collapsing!”
Space was already disintegrating as the sacred ground was on the verge of destruction, and Liu Wuxie performing the Annihilation Fist would only hasten its fall.
“Brother Qiao, Brother Han, I’ll leave the rest to you two!” Liu Wuxie yelled, and a golden ray sent the two flying out.
They were only a few dozen meters away before the golden ray hurled them off the battlefield.
On the contrary, the Annihilation Fist swallowed Yuan Zilong and the others whole, trapping them in place.
“Stop him, or we’ll all die here!” someone screamed.
No one had expected Liu Wuxie to possess a trump card that was still so powerful. They could tell Liu Wuxie planned to drag them all down with him. This meant even if he could kill them, it would be at the cost of his life.
When Liu Wuxie performed the Annihilation Fist, even Qiao Bian and Han Feizi were shocked. They knew executing such a formidable dao technique came at the price of draining all of one’s potential.
Though the backlash from performing the Annihilation Fist wasn’t enough to take Liu Wuxie’s life after he had refined an immortal rune, it was enough to leave him severely injured.
The sky split open, and a torrent of golden radiance shone down from the heavens, striking the heart of the sacred ground.
Even the Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan’s speed had slowed significantly as if to witness this unrivaled attack.
The collapse of space accelerated, spiraling into a massive vortex that spread outward.
Yuan Zilong and Luan Tianzhi were farther away, and the force they felt wasn’t as strong. But for those like Liang Yi and Wang Qi, it felt like an apocalypse had arrived as the core of the blast consumed them.
Liu Wuxie’s Annihilation Fist instantly shattered the Overlord Disaster Fist.
The desolate world roared to life as Liu Wuxie’s true essence gathered in the sky like mercury.
The golden light cleansed the land in its path, and the sacred ground returned to its primeval splendor. Images of countless figures appeared in the air like mirages. There were waves of laughter, cries, and newborn wailing.
Laws were released from the desolate world, a world that had given birth to its own laws. It felt like an entire world had descended.
Liu Wuxie remembered a mysterious force called the ‘world force’—one that didn’t belong to this realm but transcended it.
He didn’t know if it truly existed, but he could feel a mysterious power taking root inside him. Such was the world force and power born in the desolate world. This power belonged neither to this world, this universe, nor this heaven and earth.
“All of you will die today!” The depth of Liu Wuxie’s eyes shone with golden brilliance as countless immortal runes converged in the sky.
“What is this? What kind of dao technique is this?!” Mu Yuanyi roared, his voice cracking with desperation.
He wanted to know what was happening and what kind of power kept exploding across his body, eroding it.
“I can’t accept this!” Mi Ze screamed. He was the weakest of the group, and the Annihilation Fist was like a massive vortex that engulfed them.
“Run! We have to run!” Yuan Zilong tried his best to struggle. He wanted to escape and was unwilling to die there.
He had worked hard to reach the Earth Profound Realm and wasn’t ready to die in the sacred ground.
Meanwhile, Han Feizi knelt on the ground with his eyes bloodshot.
The destructive power intensified as though Liu Wuxie had drawn the entire sacred ground’s essence into a single, cataclysmic strike.
Wang Qi also fought wildly to resist. He wasn’t afraid to die, but he didn’t want to die in this manner.
“This must be Liu Wuxie’s ultimate trump card!” Many finally realized that what they had seen earlier had just been an appetizer.
Liu Wuxie had comprehended a dao technique that surpassed even heaven and earth. The Annihilation Fist didn’t belong to this world, and its appearance had shattered the True Martial Continent’s balance.
Even Liang Yi had lost his composure as he thrashed around in resistance.
“Liu Wuxie, stop! We won’t go after you anymore!” he yelled in panic. He only wanted to end this battle and flee the sacred ground, pretending all of this had never happened.
“Liu Wuxie, I’m begging you! Please stop! I was wrong! Please, don’t kill me!” Mu Yuanyi cried out as his arm exploded. He had forsaken all dignity to beg for mercy.
However, the Annihilation Fist imprisoned him. It was like a large prison that trapped him within.
The Annihilation Fist reduced Mi Ze’s body to nothingness, and he didn’t even have the chance to beg for mercy. Just like that, a cultivator at the Earth Profound Realm had died.
From a distance, many cultivators watched with bitter expressions. That was especially true for those who thought they were invincible after reaching the Earth Profound Realm.
At that moment, they understood that some people could not be measured by cultivation alone, and Liu Wuxie was one of them.
The vortex descended and devoured them all.
