Essence Devouring Art

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Coated in Gang Qi, the three fox tails struck like Divine Whips in a Divine Being’s hands. A blur of afterimages, they shattered the void as they bombarded Wu Dao from all directions!

Empowered by Demon Gang, they were as Powerful as a Dragon Elephant!

The Three-tailed Red Fox was confident that a single tail could shatter a mountaintop!

All three tails struck at once, a sudden, violent storm!

’A mere...’

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

A sound as fierce as a thousand bells ringing at once—the clash of Divine Iron—echoed in all directions, shattering the Three-tailed Red Fox’s delusion.

Amidst the brilliant sparks that flooded the void.

Within the fox’s suddenly constricting pupils!

The supersonic Wu Dao was like a piece of Divine Iron. He withstood a thousand strikes, unmoving and undamaged, forging upstream against the torrent of blows without being hindered in the slightest!

Three-hundred-times-refined steel bones and flesh!

Indestructible steel, inside and out!

So what if it was Gang Qi?!

’Such a physique... Is his body a Celestial Treasure?’

The Three-tailed Red Fox was horrified. She could feel her three tails going numb from the impacts; if not for the protection of her Gang Qi, they probably would have been blasted apart already!

"Bind!"

But this was no time to dwell on such things. With a mere thought, the Three-tailed Red Fox’s three massive, dragon-like tails transformed into a myriad of long serpents, forming a Heaven and Earth Net that sealed off all directions and descended upon Wu Dao.

BOOM—

SCREEECH!

The supersonic Wu Dao slammed into the Heaven and Earth Net. He stretched and snapped hundreds of the tail-strands but could advance no further before the net’s elasticity flung him backward.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The overwhelming crimson fox tails seized the opportunity, swarming and binding him. In an instant, they had wrapped Wu Dao into a massive cocoon, leaving only his huge, ferocious head exposed.

VMMMM!!

The moment Wu Dao was bound, a look of delight flashed across the Three-tailed Red Fox’s face. She opened her massive maw, her Demon Pill and Spiritual Gang drawing upon nature’s spiritual energy.

A torrent of power gathered in the depths of her throat, forming a brilliant miniature sun. She then unleashed a destructive, rainbow-colored beam as thick as a bucket, aimed straight at Wu Dao’s head.

’So what if his physique is strong?’

’Anyone who can’t wield the Power of Heaven and Earth is just an ant!’

’Die!!’

BOOM!!

The bucket-thick pillar of bloody energy shot out like an electromagnetic pulse, tearing through the air and crossing a hundred meters in an instant, just moments from obliterating Wu Dao’s head!

But at that critical moment!

VMMMM—

BOOM!!

The True Dragon Breath, hot enough to burn the heavens and boil the seas!

"ROAR!!"

Wu Dao roared, and all the heat from his vital energy and blood condensed, transforming into a brilliant shockwave of Red Gold Blood Flame that erupted from his mouth. It crashed head-on into the blood-red pillar of potent Demon Qi.

’A breath attack?’

’Like I can’t do that too!’

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The moment the Supreme Yang Dragon Whale Breath collided with the Demon Gang shockwave, a violent reaction erupted, like fire meeting water. It exploded into countless fine bolts of Thunderbolt, and a brilliant light of Chaos flashed across a radius of several thousand meters, blinding everyone!

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE—

The two beams of light struggled against each other, the sound of their explosive collision unending. Along their path, a horizontal, pillar-shaped crater dozens of meters long was gouged into the earth.

At the point where the two beams clashed, a shimmering ripple with a hundred-meter radius formed, like two jets of water colliding, visible even from a great distance.

At first, the blood-red light had the upper hand.

But after a few moments,

the Crimson Gold light surged forward, slowly forcing the red pillar back until they reached a stalemate, perfectly matched in power.

’Trying to fight me with your limited vital energy? You’re dreaming!’

A mocking look appeared in the Three-tailed Red Fox’s eyes. Her Demon Pill continuously gathered nature’s spiritual energy, compressing it into an even more intense Spiritual Gang.

Within a few breaths,

she had reversed her disadvantage and was slowly pushing back Wu Dao’s Yang Flame Breath!

At the same time, a thought from her sent a command to Qi Canghai:

"This brute is suppressed and can’t spare any attention! Strike now!!"

BOOM!

The next instant,

Qi Canghai, who had been waiting for his chance, activated the Demon Seed within him. A mix of Demon Qi and vital energy surged to the heavens!

"Die!!"

Amidst a cold, furious roar,

Qi Canghai completely transformed into a black fox, his powerful aura approaching that of a Grandmaster. In his claw, he gripped a dagger that emanated a Glowing Black Light, tearing through the void as he stabbed toward Wu Dao’s head!

The Black Light Dagger was a Spiritual Artifact the Three-tailed Red Fox had brought from the Fox Race. When infused with Spiritual Qi to activate its internal Array, it could pierce even a Grandmaster’s Gang Qi and was coated in a deadly poison!

Qi Canghai was confident.

If this strike landed, it would be the end of Wu Dao!

"Resign yourself to death!!"

Seeing Qi Canghai attack, the Three-tailed Red Fox immediately increased her Spiritual Gang output, refusing to let Wu Dao spare even an iota of his power.

If he tried to deal with Qi Canghai,

then his head would be obliterated by the Spiritual Gang beam!

If he focused on the beam,

then the Black Light Dagger would pierce his skull!

For a moment,

it seemed Wu Dao was trapped in a hopeless situation!

SHIING!

A wave of Sword Gang split the sky, roiling with ferocious intent. The Sword Qi rose from the distance, seemingly coming to Wu Dao’s aid.

"Hahaha, worry about yourself!"

CLANG!

Fist met blade!

The demonic and crazed Fang Xiongshan, bathed in poisonous fire that annihilated all it touched, threw a punch. His Fist Gang tore apart the Sword Gang, blocking Shi Kui’s strike.

VMM!

The Black Blade trembled, its ferocious qi flaring like oil thrown on a fire.

Shi Kui’s eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to get serious, his Spiritual Perception picked something up, and the trembling Black Blade in his hand grew steady once more.

BOOM!!

And in that very instant!

It was as if a Divine Sun had risen and exploded!

The distant, sky-piercing beacon of Crimson Gold vital energy suddenly broke free of some restraint. Like a volcanic eruption, its unstoppable momentum caused it to surge past a height of one hundred meters, reaching a towering one hundred and fifty meters!

A terrifying heat spread out!

The fine drizzle falling from high above evaporated into white mist, and the entire shattered battlefield became as unbearably hot as a furnace!

"A fifty-zhang beacon of vital energy... That’s the Horizontal Refining Third Gate Limit!!"

Fang Xiongshan’s pupils contracted violently, the madness on his face shocked into a moment of clarity.

’Not good! Xiao Hai!!’

Greatly alarmed,

Fang Xiongshan threw caution to the wind and tried to break past Shi Kui to aid Qi Canghai.

"Worry about yourself!"

The Black Blade trembled, its Sword Gang forming a net to intercept Fang Xiongshan as Shi Kui threw his opponent’s own words right back at him.
