Desolate Devouring Art-Chapter 930 - Liu Shengs Death

Gasps erupted from the surrounding crowd when a black pill appeared in Liu Sheng's palm.

"The Great Abyssal Pill!" someone exclamed from the crowd, recognizing this pill.

The Great Abyssal Pill was similar to the Primordial Spirit Pill, capable of enhancing a person's cultivation. The Primordial Spirit Pill was refined with a person's primordial spirit, and the Great Abyssal Pill was refined with the body of an abyssal devil.

Consuming it would trigger demonification, granting the user the terrifying strength of an abyssal devil while retaining the intelligence and reasoning of a human.

Moreover, the Great Abyssal Pill was complex, and its formula had long been lost. There weren't many in the True Martial Continent who knew how to refine one. After all, the slightest mistake could result in the backlash of the abyssal energy.

Consuming such a pill had no benefits. Although it could temporarily enhance one's strength, it came at a heavy cost, ultimately destroying the physique. The abyssal energy would corrode the meridians, transforming the user into a full-fledged abyssal devil.

Both humans and abyssal devils who existed in such a way would become outcasts in both worlds. Yet, Liu Sheng had chosen to discard his future to get a chance to kill Liu Wuxie. He no longer had a choice.

Liu Wuxie stood quietly and watched Liu Sheng swallow the Great Abyssal Pill.

The Great Abyssal Pill didn't change Liu Sheng's cultivation, as he had previously consumed the Primordial Spirit Pill. As a result, the Great Abyssal Pill's effects were greatly diminished.

Although there was no boost in his cultivation, Liu Sheng's strength surged drastically. The wounds inflicted by Liu Wuxie began to heal at an alarming rate as he slowly advanced, the abyssal energy around him intensifying with every step.

The surrounding disciples couldn't withstand the abyssal energy and began to retreat.

Rumbling abyssal energy swept out, but Liu Wuxie did not react. If someone else were in his position, facing such a terrifying outburst of abyssal energy, they would've backed away long ago.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Liu Wuxie had secretly summoned the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron to devour the surging abyssal energy.

"This is strange. Did you noticed? The abyssal energy simply vanished as it got close to Liu Wuxie." Someone finally noticed something unusual. The abyssal energy couldn't even get close to him, not to mention, threaten him.

The Heavenly Star Sword began to flash as Liu Sheng summoned every last drop of its power. If he still couldn't kill Liu Wuxie with this attack, he would be the one to die instead.

Liu Wuxie didn't dare to be careless and raised the Heretic Blade to the sky, secretly summoning the Earth-Binding Chains. He had rarely used the Earth-Binding Chains in the past six months as he didn't want to be over-reliant on external forces.

However, he wouldn't hesitate to use them if his life were at stake.

He began to channel the Frost Dao Art and wait for the right moment while the Golden Flame Strike began to flicker. The Heavenly Dragon Seal also hovered above the desolate world, ready to be summoned at any moment. Even the Five Elemental Suppression Steles were flickering.

Each of Liu Wuxie's dao techniques was highly destructive, yet none had managed to kill Liu Sheng. His last strike should have been fatal to any cultivator at the sixth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, yet Liu Sheng had survived. It was likely that Liu Sheng had taken a pill to enhance his physique.

"Great Abyssal Dominion!" Liu Sheng roared. His sword split into countless projectiles as black light and abyssal energy began to combine. This strike's power was dreadful, rivaling only that of a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Spirit Profound Realm.

Liu Feng and Liu Xin'er exchanged a look with deep concern flashing across their eyes. Only one person remained nonchalant, snacking on spiritual fruits, and he was Han Feizi. After all, no one knew better than him how powerful Liu Wuxie was.

He knew Liu Wuxie that could've ended the fight long ago with the Great Five Elemental Palm if he wanted, but he didn't want to reveal his true strength.

"That's the Great Abyssal Ancestor's technique! How did Liu Sheng learn how to use it?" exclaimed an elder at the Earth Profound Realm as he staggered.

The Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy had long turned a blind eye to the cultivation methods and martial techniques practiced by its disciples. In the past, some had even dabbled in the Abyssal Race's martial techniques.

However, few ever succeeded—most eventually lost their minds.

The Great Abyssal Ancestor was no ordinary person. He had created the Great Abyssal Pill, which was named after him. There were rumors that the Great Abyssal Ancestor's father was an abyssal devil and his mother a human who became a monster after giving birth to him.

Not only could he practice cultivation and martial techniques meant for humans, but he could also practice those that belonged to the Abyssal Race.

The Great Abyssal Dominion he created was unmatched in power and stood between humans' martial techniques and abyssal devils.

Everyone began to wonder if the Great Abyssal Ancestor was the mastermind behind Liu Sheng.

However, that made no sense as the Great Abyssal Ancestor had died centuries ago. It was most likely someone who had inherited his legacy.

Even after Liu Sheng exposed so many of his cards, Liu Wuxie still couldn't figure out who the mastermind was. An oppressive aura locked onto him. The tyrannical sword aura produced by the Great Abyssal Dominion was frightening, seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart.

Liu Wuxie didn't dare be careless, as he wasn't facing Liu Sheng right now but the mastermind behind him. Liu Sheng alone wasn't enough to warrant his attention.

A glimmer of brilliance flashed across his eyes as he raised the Heretic Blade. The desolate world responded with a tidal wave channeling through his body.

"Time to end this farce," Liu Wuxie murmured coldly as he gave Liu Sheng a death sentence. The surrounding space began to shrink, causing the incoming attack to slow down.

"What's going on? Why does it feel like the surrounding time is slowing down?" The onlookers in the surroundings looked at each other. They could feel an invisible force restricting the surrounding space.

"It's a spatial technique! Liu Wuxie has comprehended a spatial technique!" No one could describe their current feelings as they were shocked by Liu Wuxie, who wielded so many powerful dao techniques with cultivation at the fifth-level True Profound Realm.

Then came the Frost Dao Art, descending from the sky like a colossal mountain.

After reaching the fifth-level True Profound Realm, Liu Wuxie had reached new heights with the mastery of Frost Dao Art.

The entire Astral Moon Valley was covered in ice as the two dao techniques combined to stall the Great Abyssal Dominion in mid-air.

"Is this Liu Wuxie's true strength?" The elders of the seven peaks appeared. Compared to half a month ago, Liu Wuxie's strength had increased significantly.

Liu Sheng's face contorted in anger. It felt like his attack was submerged in a swamp, unable to advance.

However, that didn't end there as the Heretic Blade descended and appeared before Liu Sheng. This time, Liu Wuxie didn't hold back and channeled all his true essence into this attack. It formed into a tidal wave that scraped a layer off the ground.

The battlefield was covered in shattered stones and debris, obscuring Liu Wuxie and Liu Sheng from everyone's view.

"Liu Wuxie, I won't die that easily!" Liu Sheng roared with a distorted expression as a talisman appeared in his hand. The moment the talisman opened up, the Golden Flame Strike fell onto it.

"That's the Amethyst Guardian Talisman!" an exclamation came from the crowd, followed by gasps.

No one could believe that Liu Sheng possessed a pinnacle, first-grade profound talisman, whose power corresponded with the pinnacle of the Spirit Profound Realm.

The Frost Dao Art and Golden Flame Strike were both halted by the Amethyst Guardian Talisman, as Liu Sheng stood confidently within its protective glow, a mocking smile on his face.

At this moment, no one doubted it anymore, knowing Liu Sheng had someone backing him up.

Liu Wuxie frowned in response as things had spiraled beyond his expectations. Just when he thought Liu Sheng had exhausted all his trump cards, he just kept taking out more.

"Do you think the Amethyst Guardian Talisman can save your life?" Liu Wuxie's voice echoed in all directions, and no one could pinpoint his location.

Then, from above, a golden seal descended, emitting an oppressive dragon aura as it transformed into a blood dragon midair. Among dragonkind, the blood dragon was known for its most violent and destructive nature—a harbinger of chaos and death.

Fractures began spreading across the Amethyst Guardian Talisman under the pressure of the Heavenly Dragon Seal. If the Heavenly Dragon Seal failed to kill Liu Sheng, Liu Wuxie might have to resort to the Great Five Elemental Palm.

Without the Amethyst Guardian Talisman's protection, Liu Sheng released a soul-rending scream.

"NO!"

The pinnacle first-grade profound talisman exploded and dissolved into countless runes before vanishing.

A moment later, Liu Sheng's body was torn apart by the full force of the Heavenly Dragon Seal, reduced to nothing more than a pool of blood and tattered remnants. Aside from the sounds of pebbles rolling on the ground, no one dared to speak. The onlookers watched quietly as this battle exceeded their understanding.

"Liu Sheng is dead?" Exhale a disciple at the pinnacle of the Spirit Profound Realm with disbelief on his face. He had thought Liu Sheng was practically invincible with the Amethyst Guardian Talisman.

Then again, no one present could stop the descent of the Heavenly Dragon Seal unless they had a treasure on par with it.

When the Heavenly Dragon Seal disappeared, the battlefield lay in utter ruins. The Astral Moon Valley would be abandoned for months, as it would take a long time to recover the terrain.

Liu Wuxie stooped down to pick up Liu Sheng's interspatial ring and extended his divine sense.

"This is interesting...this interspatial ring doesn't belong to Liu Sheng." The interspatial ring was empty as every last treasure inside it had been used.

Liu Sheng had long entrusted his interspatial ring to his younger brother, allowing Liu Lin to inherit it if anything happened to him.

"Liu Wuxie, I want you dead!" Liu Lin roared and charged at Liu Wuxie after witnessing the death of his elder brother.

"Freeze!" Liu Wuxie said, and Liu Lin froze as though time had stopped.

Liu Lin was only a small fry at the lower levels of the True Profound Realm, and Liu Wuxie could easily crush him with a flick of his finger. However, he only manipulated space to control Liu Lin, without killing him.

With Liu Sheng dead, Liu Lin was his last clue left. He wanted to discover who had been helping Liu Sheng from the shadows.

Liu Wuxie slowly approached Liu Lin, who stood frozen in place, his eyes blazing with fury. Liu Lin looked as though he wanted to tear Liu Wuxie limb from limb.

With so many people present, Liu Wuxie couldn't resort to searching Liu Lin's soul or torture, as the upper echelons were nearby. If he wanted answers, he would have to make Liu Lin speak of his own will.

"Conversion Art!" Liu Wuxie soon recalled the Scripture of Faith he had cultivated. It was a perfect chance for him to test it out.

He decided to try it after making up his mind to see how well it would work.
