Desolate Devouring Art-Chapter 819 - Azure Dragon

Liu Wuxie was also surprised to encounter them here. Just a few days ago, these two had tried to snatch his seat at the teleportation array, and he had thrown them out.

They resented Liu Wuxie because they had to wait for the second trip. Due to the delay, they had only recently arrived.

Due to their low cultivation, they dared not approach those at the True Profound Realm and could only operate in the outer region. But they had run into Liu Wuxie again.

Murderous intent erupted from the two, directed at Liu Wuxie. In the Central Plains, killing and plundering were an everyday occurrence, and Liu Wuxie had long grown accustomed to it. The brutality here was worse compared to the Southern Province.

"You two want to fight here?" Liu Wuxie asked with a grim face. If these two dared to attack, he wouldn't mind killing them. No matter how many high-level Nascent Transformation Realm cultivators came at him, he could easily slay them all.

"Big Brother, why waste time talking to him? He humiliated us! Let's just kill him!" the younger youth said as he ran out of patience.

"Brat, you hear that? Don't say that we didn't give you a chance. If you're willing to kneel and sign a soul contract to serve us as our slave, we can consider sparing your life," said the older youth. A soul contract meant eternal servitude and absolute subjugation.

"Enough nonsense, and make your move!" Liu Wuxie couldn't be bothered to waste time with them in case the commotion here attracted more people.

"Since you're stubborn, I'll fulfill your wish then!" The younger youth unsheathed his sword and swung it down at Liu Wuxie. But if he knew Liu Wuxie was a Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy disciple, he wouldn't have dared to attack him.

The terrifying sword aura surged toward Liu Wuxie, but its power was lacking compared to the prodigies of the Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy. Everyone who could join the academy was a true prodigy, and these two could only be considered ordinary cultivators.

Liu Wuxie didn't even have to draw the Heretic Blade and stood in place, watching as the longsword attacked him.

The assailant was under the impression that Liu Wuxie was paralyzed with fear, and a sinister smile rose on his lips.

As the sword neared his throat, Liu Wuxie raised two fingers and caught it mid-air, stopping it effortlessly. This was an unbelievable scene, so impactful that the man was left stunned in place.

The attacker tried to channel his true essence to pull back the longsword, but he noticed his sword didn't budge, no matter how he tried.

"You..." The attacker wanted to speak, but a cold ray had pierced his throat.

The ice-attribute energy was formless and could be shaped at Liu Wuxie's will. Even in death, the attacker couldn't comprehend how Liu Wuxie had caught his sword with bare hands.

The older youth was horrified at the sight of his younger brother's death. He let out a furious roar and charged forward.

But Liu Wuxie remained emotionless. With a flick of his finger, the sword turned around and shot toward the remaining youth.

The remaining youth couldn't put up a resistance, and the sword pierced through his chest.

Liu Wuxie killed the two with just two moves, and he was fortunate that no one else was around. If someone else had witnessed this scene, their jaws would've dropped.

Even cultivators at the first-level True Profound Realm couldn't achieve such an astonishing feat of killing two people with such ease.

After collecting their interspatial rings, Liu Wuxie left without even cleaning the corpses. After all, the profound beasts in the mountain would handle the corpses.

He swiftly left without lingering for another moment to avoid drawing unwanted attention. From atop a scorched tree, Fiery waved its paw at Liu Wuxie, signaling him to hurry over.

Performing his movement technique, Liu Wuxie shot out like a comet. The mountain was teeming with cultivators, so he deliberately chose a path away from the crowds.

"Fiery, did you find any clues?" Liu Wuxie asked. When he came over, Fiery leaped down from the tree and began clawing at the ground vigorously.

"Are you saying there are clues here?" Liu Wuxie asked, puzzled. The mountain was vast, and how was he supposed to dig up the entire place? He glanced around, ensured no one was nearby, and struck the ground with his palm.

With a muffled explosion, a half-meter-deep crater appeared where the strike landed.

"Blue slabs!" The blue slabs beneath the soil indicated that a structure was hidden beneath the mountain, and he was stunned by this discovery.

Most importantly, these kinds of blue slabs were scarce, and each piece was worth a fortune due to its toughness. This was unbelievable, as the slabs were covered with intricate carvings, each radiating an ancient aura.

"There must be something unusual beneath this mountain—perhaps another altar to revive a divine avatar!" Liu Wuxie murmured. He could now confirm that the mountain was indeed hollow.

Perhaps a human had trespassed here and provoked the Twin-Headed Serpent, thus drawing an influx of cultivators.

Liu Wuxie was stunned, unsure if he should share this discovery with others.

Just then, a battle erupted on the mountainside with a cultivator at the pinnacle of the True Profound Realm swinging his sword at another True Profound Realm cultivator over an unknown dispute.

The sheer force of the sword aura caused the entire mountain to shake as though an earthquake had struck. The place struck by the sword aura left a deep gash across the ground.

As stones exploded, a massive black hole was revealed in the ground. This brought the battle to an abrupt halt as everyone approached to inspect the sudden abyss.

"Look! There's a hole! It seems hollow underneath!" The discovery shocked everyone. They had spent half a day searching the mountain without finding a single clue—only for this secret to be revealed by a random battle.

The two fighters immediately halted and peered into the dark abyss below. A cold mist drifted upward, confirming that the mountain’s interior was hollow.

"Could it be an ancient tomb beneath?" whispered a cultivator at the True Profound Realm.

Many powerful beings preferred to build their tombs beneath mountains, hidden from prying eyes.

"I bet this is a dragon's lair!" someone speculated, and theories began to emerge. But Liu Wuxie didn't head over as he could sense a looming danger.

His caution was at its peak, shaped by his past experience at the Heavenly Nether Battlefield.

The abyss was bottomless, and more people gathered from the surroundings. No one was willing to go first as they didn't know if there were any dangers inside.

"Something's moving!" someone shouted from the edge of the abyss. Everyone froze, their ears straining as they heard the unmistakable scraping and slithering of something crawling up the walls.

Liu Wuxie was a few hundred meters away from them, and he didn't hesitate to retreat to the mountain's base upon hearing the commotion. Not long after he left the mountain, the entire mountain began to tremble, with the surrounding trees exploding into splinters.

Large boulders shifted as if something was emerging from beneath the ground.

A Twin-Headed Serpent emerged from the abyss, devouring a nearby cultivator in one swift gulp before the latter could respond.

This also surprised everyone, as no one had expected a Twin-Headed Serpent to lurk beneath the mountain. Most importantly, this Twin-Headed Serpent was even larger than the one Liu Wuxie had encountered previously, but it was a tenth-grade profound beast, not a spiritual beast.

One after another, more Twin-Headed Serpents slithered out from the abyss. In mere moments, the entire area was teeming with hundreds of them.

Cracks also split open at the mountain's base, with more Twin-Headed Serpents emerging from the ground, quickly blocking all possible escape routes.

Liu Wuxie was fortunate to have reacted swiftly, retreating from the mountain without hesitation.

The Twin-Headed Serpents emerged from the ground, showing no mercy. They lunged at the surrounding human cultivators, and a great battle erupted in this manner. No one had anticipated such a horrific encounter. They had come searching for the Azure Dragon, only to be ambushed by a horde of monstrous serpents.

Screams of agony filled the air, and several unfortunate cultivators were devoured by the Twin-Headed Serpents.

Only the dozen or so cultivators at the Spirit Profound Realm held their ground, and they could easily crush several serpents with one palm strike.

Blood and flesh splattered across the battlefield with a metallic scent of death thick in the air. The scene was utter carnage, with cultivators disorganized and scattered. They lacked coordination and fought desperately for their lives.

Death loomed at every moment, and those at the Nascent Transformation Realm couldn't even last a single exchange against the Twin-Headed Serpents.

"Quick! Run!" Many cultivators at the low-level True Profound Realm immediately thought of fleeing, unwilling to stay a moment longer.

The mountain base was overrun with Twin-Headed Serpents. Their only choice was to soar into the sky, even if it meant exposing themselves to aerial demonic beasts. But before some cultivators could attempt to take flight, a massive blaze erupted from the heavens and descended with an Azure Dragon emerging from the clouds.

Liu Wuxie narrowed his eyes at this sight.

"An Azure Dragon! Could it be a dragon?" Liu Wuxie was shocked that a dragon existed in the True Martial Continent.

"Wait, this isn't a real dragon but a flood dragon!" Liu Wuxie soon discovered that something wasn't right. This serpent had transformed into a dragon and wasn't of pure dragon lineage.

flood dragons had to cultivate for ten thousand years to awaken their draconic bloodline and undergo tribulation to evolve into dragons. Though their bloodline wasn't as noble as pure-blooded dragons, it was undeniable that they had completed their metamorphosis to become one.

The flood dragon unleashed another torrent of fire, spreading destruction across the battlefield. The flames were unimaginably hot, and even those at the True Profound Realm couldn't withstand the searing heat.

Agonized screams echoed through the air, and cultivators who had taken to the skies plummeted back down, their bodies reduced to charred remains.

Liu Wuxie recognized those flames. They were draconic flames with incredibly high temperatures that even cultivators at the Spirit Profound Realm had to be careful. After all, they would be incinerated into ashes if they weren't careful.

The eyes of the Spirit Profound Realm cultivators gleamed with greed. A chance to capture a dragon and make it their mount was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—one they wouldn’t let slip away.

Liu Wuxie instinctively took several steps back. Unlike true dragons, flood dragons were known to be bloodthirsty.

The dozen or so cultivators at the Spirit Profound Realm gave up fighting against the Twin-Headed Serpents and soared to the sky to capture the Azure Dragon.

However, those on the ground weren't so fortunate. Many Twin-Headed Serpents had reached the level of a spiritual beast among the horde, and they were all as strong as the one Liu Wuxie had encountered previously.

Upon emerging, the serpents unleashed a frenzied assault, tearing through everything in their path.

As Liu Wuxie observed the carnage, his expression remained unmoving.
