Desolate Devouring Art
Chapter 1679 - Fighting Fifth-Level Heavenly Immortal Realm
The two stood proudly in the sky as murderous intent radiated from Lingqiong Jing's eyes. Lingqiong Gong and the others stood in the distance, looking grave.
Lingqiong Yu stepped forward. "Patriarch, do you think the ancestor can kill Liu Wuxie?" His hatred for Liu Wuxie surpassed that of everyone present. After all, Liu Wuxie had left an indelible shadow in his heart.
At this moment, Lingqiong Yu had wrapped himself in a black cloth, not daring to reveal his true appearance. If someone approached him, they would detect a strong, pungent odor coming from him, as the festering sores on him had yet to heal fully. Then again, those sores would not heal easily after he suffered heavenly punishment.
"He'll die here," Lingqiong Ye said firmly. He had confidence in the ancestor, who was at the fifth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Hearing that, Lingqiong Yu finally felt relieved and took a step back.
"So what if you're at the fifth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm? You spent a great deal of effort to descend to the mortal realm. And wouldn't it affect your main body if I destroy your clone?" Liu Wuxie asked in a mocking tone. He could naturally tell that Lingqiong Jing was a clone.
"Die!" Lingqiong Jing ran out of patience and unleashed an even more powerful immortal art, summoning dark clouds above the Heavenly Dragon Sect and forcing the spectators to retreat.
"What a powerful immortal art!" The Nine Dragon Palace's palace lord had arrived alongside the leaders of the other major forces.
"Liu Wuxie is in danger," said the Comet Temple's abbot with a frown.
A clone and an avatar projection differed drastically.
"That may not necessarily be true. Haven't you noticed that Liu Wuxie's aura has undergone a drastic transformation?"
Someone noticed that Liu Wuxie's aura had not been this powerful when he had fought the immortal's avatar projection from the Grand Unity Sect. Only a few months had passed since then, yet Liu Wuxie's aura had already reached an unimaginable height.
"What do you mean?" Everyone nearby turned to the Nine Dragon Palace's palace lord.
"I suspect that Liu Wuxie has reached the Quasi-Immortal Realm," said the Nine Dragon Palace's palace lord.
Then again, his suspicion was not unfounded, as they had witnessed Liu Wuxie's cultivation advance at a terrifying speed over the past six months. π§ππππΈπ¦π£πππ·ππ.π€π°π
"How is that possible? He had only reached the eighth-level Heaven Gaze Realm a few months ago, so how could breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Realm be so easy?" Many people shook their heads, believing Liu Wuxie had reached the ninth-level Heaven Gaze Realm at best.
As they discussed it, a mysterious imprint appeared behind Liu Wuxie and unleashed the aura of the Quasi-Immortal Realm like a shockwave.
"What? He had really reached the Quasi-Immortal Realm?!" The cultivators who had doubted the Nine Dragon Palace Lord earlier looked shocked.
Liu Wuxie's breakthrough meant he now stood only one step away from the Immortal Realm, and the four astral domains had never produced such a young immortal before.
This time, Liu Wuxie no longer held back and unleashed his strongest attack.
Lingqiong Jing's immortal art had already taken shape, producing a resounding dragon-like roar as it appeared before Liu Wuxie.
"Heavenbound Immortal Finger!" A giant finger appeared in the sky, aimed at Lingqiong Jing.
"Evil Dragon Roar!" After Lingqiong Jing's immortal art took the shape of a divine dragon, it charged toward Liu Wuxie and coiled in the sky.
The Heavenbound Immortal Finger also descended with unstoppable might, taking the shape of a divine sword that swung down at the evil dragon's head. This was no longer a mere clash between immortal arts, but also a clash between their primordial spirits. It tested whose soul energy was stronger and whose control was finer.
"Liu Wuxie, let me see how many of my immortal arts you can withstand," Lingqiong Jing said, waving his palm and unleashing another immortal art that transformed into a monster.
"What's the use of mastering so many garbage immortal arts?" Liu Wuxie unleashed the Divine Eternal Fist, which descended from the sky like a galaxy.
Liu Wuxie and Lingqiong Jing began unleashing immortal arts one after another, leaving the spectators dazzled.
In the past, Liu Wuxie needed some time to gather power before unleashing an immortal art. But ever since his breakthrough, he could release immortal arts with ease.
The moment Liu Wuxie cast the Divine Eternal Fist, the entire True Martial Star trembled as a terrifying surge of world force traveled through the universe and empowered the attack. A faint astral domain force also swept in from the surroundings, strengthening the punch.
At this moment, Lingqiong Jing was not just facing Liu Wuxie, but all the cultivators on True Martial Star and most of the cultivators in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain.
"What's going on? Why is my power decreasing?" Many cultivators sensed their power draining.
"It's an astral domain force! Liu Wuxie has received the support of the astral domain." Many people looked intrigued. They knew that Liu Wuxie's combat strength would soar now that the astral domain force empowered him.
An eternal intent swept out, locking the surrounding space in eternal stillness. The monsters charging over became imprisoned by the Divine Eternal Fist, unable to move.
With a loud explosion, the Divine Eternal Fist descended from the sky and crushed the monster apart.
Lingqiong Jing looked shocked when Liu Wuxie's immortal art crushed his own. Shortly after, the Heavenbound Immortal Finger also descended with unstoppable momentum and pierced through the evil dragon.
Four immortal arts clashed in midair, producing powerful shockwaves.
Liu Wuxie continued flying higher into the sky to reduce the damage to the ground.
The moment the immortal arts exploded, a devastating commotion shook heaven and earth, destroying hundreds of mountains. The entire Indigo Bamboo Star trembled violently as a loud rumble came from deep underground, and the planet's core released a roar.
"Liu Wuxie, you must die today!" Lingqiong Jing's tone no longer sounded as calm as before, and he began forming seals with both hands.
If he allowed a monster like Liu Wuxie to grow, it would become extremely troublesome. How could Lingqiong Jing fail to see that such a monster would rise rapidly once he set foot in the celestial realm?
"A piece of garbage like you wants to kill me? What a joke!" Liu Wuxie continued humiliating Lingqiong Jing, making him roar in frustration.
The Heretic Blade appeared in Liu Wuxie's hand and descended from the sky. It had absorbed a vast amount of immortal runes, along with an immortal, so it possessed unimaginable power.
The blade ray flashed and tore through the sky, splitting it into black and white. Countless mortals were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
They had heard of cultivators capable of splitting mountains and rivers, but never of severing heaven and earth.
"Radiant Moon Emperor Chant!" Lingqiong Jing began forming seals with his hands, unleashing a powerful sound wave that spread in every direction.
"It's too painful!" Many people felt their eardrums on the verge of bursting and covered their ears, trying to isolate the sound.
Even so, their eardrums nearly ruptured under the impact, and blood dripped from their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
Whether they came from the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the surrounding forces, or the Lingqiong Clan, no one could escape the sound wave's indiscriminate attack.
A grave look appeared on Liu Wuxie's face at this sight. The Radiant Moon Emperor Chant had far exceeded what the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain could withstand. The surrounding heaven and earth began disappearing, dissolving into primal chaos.
If those areas failed to heal, the destruction would slowly spread outward, and eventually, all of heaven and earth would disappear with them. He began wondering whether the awakening of the Stonecloud Beast had signaled that heaven and earth were moving toward destruction.
The Heretic Blade felt as though it had struck a stone wall, and all its power dissolved.
The Heavenly Dao Book released a light barrier that protected Liu Wuxie's primordial spirit, allowing him to withstand the Radiant Moon Emperor Chant. Even so, Liu Wuxie felt as though his soul sea was about to explode as a tearing pain surged through his ears.
"Nine Absolute Fist!" Liu Wuxie roared, unleashing his strongest attack.
The immortal energy in the desolate world surged out like a roaring divine dragon. Each immortal rune had been fortified by primordial laws, causing heaven and earth to split apart the moment they appeared.
This attack was even more terrifying than the Radiant Moon Emperor Chant. Sensing the scorching power, Lingqiong Jing's expression turned grave as a strong sense of danger rose within him.
The two had flown into the sky, where the impact produced by their battle could no longer threaten the Heavenly Dragon Sect's foundation.
Radiant released a dazzling radiance that protected the Heavenly Dragon Sect's foundation and prevented any further destruction.
Nine different energies began merging in the sky. The nine energies did not only contain the five elements, but also poison, thunder, and other powers. Various energies merged to form the Nine Absolute Fist.
With a loud explosion, various sounds echoed through the sky. No one could see the two figures any longer, as the sky had transformed into a world of primal chaos.
Liu Wuxie had fought the Spirit Child here before. But compared to this battle with Lingqiong Jing, that battle was not even worth mentioning.
The attack from the Radiant Moon Emperor Chant spread outward and assaulted every pore on Liu Wuxie's body. This was truly a sinister and bizarre immortal art, capable of attacking both the body and the primordial spirit. Even in the celestial realm, such an immortal art was rare. This proved that Lingqiong Jing held no ordinary status in the celestial realm.
"Liu Wuxie, let me see how you're going to dodge this attack!" Lingqiong Jing bared his fangs, releasing a suffocating outburst of immortal energy that formed multiple golden beams, trying to pierce through the sky.
"Dodge? Let me destroy your immortal art, then." Liu Wuxie laughed softly and unleashed the power of the Nine Absolute Fist.
When all nine powers merged, Lingqiong Jing finally realized something was wrong. The Nine Absolute Fist could combine all the powers. This was not a simple addition, as the nine powers began to overlap, especially the five elements, which formed a massive cycle.
A loud rumble echoed as the surrounding immortal runes began shattering under the Nine Absolute Fist's power. This instantly increased the pressure on Lingqiong Jing, who began retreating.
The other members of the Lingqiong Clan, standing ten thousand meters away, immediately sensed that something was wrong. They began wondering whether Liu Wuxie would defeat their ancestor.
If that truly happened, the consequences would be unimaginable. They knew Liu Wuxie definitely would not let them go and would use this opportunity to destroy the Lingqiong Clan.
"Damn it! Damn it!" Lingqiong Jing roared. He had already unleashed over a dozen immortal arts, but he had still failed to defeat Liu Wuxie.
It was unbelievable that Liu Wuxie could find the flaw in each of his immortal arts. He began wondering whether Liu Wuxie had also come from the celestial realm, since only those from the celestial realm could break his immortal arts.
Liu Wuxie was nothing more than a mere ant from the mortal realm, yet his understanding of immortal arts had far surpassed his own. It was no wonder Lingqiong Jing wore such a grave expression. Then again, anyone in Lingqiong Jing's position would find it unbelievable.
"You're the one who'll die today. I'll destroy your clone and make sure that you never step into the mortal realm ever again!" Liu Wuxie roared. His murderous intent surged as the power in the desolate world grew even heavier.
The Ancestral Tree suddenly moved, pouring boundless energy into the Nine Absolute Fist after having absorbed the Ancestral Tree's trunk. This pushed the power of the Nine Absolute Fist to an even greater height.
