Essence Devouring Art

BOOM!

The moment he unleashed his Divine, Ghostly, Celestial Release!

It was truly like a True Dragon Breath!

The concentrated Red Gold Blood Flame surged, growing thicker and more brilliant, instantly suppressing and crushing the Red Fox’s Spiritual Breath before slamming into its massive head!

BANG!

Flesh and blood sprayed everywhere!

The rainbow-like column of Red Gold Yang Flame was too ferocious to be stopped. It bored through the Protective Gang Qi and blew apart half of the Three-tailed Red Fox’s enormous head!

The instant its Demon Breath was no longer pinning him down, Wu Dao’s Spiritual Thoughts controlled his bodily tissues. The water-vat-sized Dragon Whale head suddenly split open, creating a cavity as his vital brain matter was squeezed aside.

Before the Black Fox’s (Qi Canghai’s) terrified, shrinking eyes!

An unbelievable tunnel, clear from front to back, had opened in the center of Wu Dao’s head!

It thrust its dagger forward.

Not only did it stab into empty air, but its fox arm also plunged into Wu Dao’s head!

Before it could even react,

CRUNCH!!

Rows of sharp, crimson shark teeth suddenly sprouted within the clear tunnel inside the Dragon Whale’s head!

The next instant!

The shark teeth snapped shut!

Their extreme sharpness directly bit the Black Fox’s arm into dozens of pieces!

"AHHH!!!"

The pain of a severed arm was so great that even with the cultivation of a Peak Grandmaster, the Black Fox still let out an inhuman, blood-curdling shriek.

But it didn’t even get to scream for a full second.

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP—

Wu Dao’s head, wreathed in roaring Red Gold Yang Flame that was almost solid, returned to normal as he forcefully snapped the thousands of binding fox tails.

With one hand, he caught the falling Black Light Dagger.

With his teeth, he clamped down on the Black Fox’s furry neck, silencing its piercing scream.

CRACKLE, CRACKLE—

Wu Dao rolled his somewhat stiff neck and looked at the Black Fox. His gaze was like a Divine Buddha’s, his face like a Demon’s, and his voice like ten-thousand-year-old ice:

"Was that fun?"

CLANG! CLANG—

Before Qi Canghai’s utterly terrified eyes, Wu Dao’s palm exerted its strength, crushing the Black Light Dagger into a metal ball, which he then tossed into his mouth and swallowed.

"I have something even more fun."

His crazed voice was like the whisper of an Evil Ghost.

Wu Dao slowly stretched his mouth wide. The heat from the qi and blood all over his body gathered, and his throat began to glow with blinding speed, like a volcano about to erupt.

"NO!!!"

BOOM!!

A pillar of Yang Flame Breath, like a rainbow, shot into the sky.

It instantly engulfed the Black Fox, which was held high in the air!

Its Protective Spiritual Energy melted and shattered without resisting for even a moment!

Fur and flesh turned to ash!

All that remained in mid-air was a soccer-ball-sized black Demon Embryo, which fell into the abyssal maw.

GULP~

His throat bobbed.

Wu Dao swallowed the black Demon Embryo in one gulp. He licked his lips, his sacred gaze turning toward the distant Three-tailed Red Fox.

"You beast, DIE!!"

Just as Wu Dao was about to press his advantage,

Fang Xiongshan’s grief-stricken, earth-shattering roar echoed. In his extreme fury,

he actually broke through Shi Kui’s Sword Gang blockade. Wreathed in black, poisonous fire, he shot toward Wu Dao like a meteor tearing through the sky with a thunderous RUMBLE.

"Get lost!!"

Wu Dao snorted coldly. He stomped, shattering the base of Jingyue Mountain and sending countless tons of earth and rock blasting into the sky. He unleashed his Dragon Fist—Whale Shark Island—a Divine Strike from afar!

SKREEE!

The Overlord Whale roars at the sea, raising mile-high waves!

Five hundred years of Divine Arrival Fist Intent!

Under the enhancement of the Divine Ghost Heaven, it was faintly touching the gate to the next realm!

The Ancient Barbaric Whale formed from his Fist Intent was on the verge of leaping out of his Spiritual World to become corporeal and affect the physical world!

The moment they collided head-on!

Fang Xiongshan, a Grandmaster of Gang Qi who had reached Great Success in the Horizontal Refining Third Gate, felt his Divine Soul being thrown into chaos.

The world seemed to transform into a vast ocean. He was a lone island in that sea, nearly exploding on the spot from the Barbaric Whale’s ferocious impact!

CLANG!

In that instant of dazed agony,

a waterfall of Sword Gang swept across the world!

Carrying a tragic, malevolent aura, it viciously slashed against Fang Xiongshan’s Protective Gang Qi, sending him flying and causing him to vomit mouthfuls of blood along the way.

Like a clay idol crossing a river, he couldn’t even save himself!

「Meanwhile.」

The Three-tailed Red Fox was worthy of being a thousand-year-old demon; its Life Force was unbelievably abundant.

The half of its head that had been blown apart and its three severed tails quickly regenerated, returning to normal.

But the haughty disdain in its fox eyes as it looked at Wu Dao was completely gone, replaced entirely by dread.

"What kind of monster are you? Not even a Celestial Treasure Master could be this heaven-defying!"

"Heh heh, a monster?"

Wu Dao gave a ferocious grin. "Weaker than you, and I’m food. Stronger than you, and I’m a monster. You’re so adorable, little baby.

So adorable...

No wonder you’re so sweet and tempting. You’re perfect for me in every way.

So...

How about I hold you in my mouth and ’dote’ on you for a while?!"

BOOM!!

A thunderclap exploded as a sonic boom erupted!

In the space of a tenth of a finger-snap!

Wu Dao’s sky-propping demonic form had already appeared above the Three-tailed Red Fox. The Evil Dragon muscles on his right arm bulged as he raised his clenched fist high. In his Divine Soul’s World, the Barbaric Whale leaped from the sea to smash down, aiming for a one-hit kill!

"ROAR!!!"

But at that critical moment!

The Three-tailed Red Fox threw its head back and roared. It was not a breath attack, nor a sound wave, but a thunderous blast on the spiritual level!

Invisible to the naked eye, concentric rings of spiritual shockwaves layered over one another, forming a pillar of impact that slammed head-on into Wu Dao.

BZZZ—

In an instant,

Wu Dao’s vision went black. He felt as if his soul was about to leave his body, his five senses failed him, the world spun around him, light and shadow blurred, and illusions swirled, making it impossible to distinguish reality from illusion!

Roar God Skill!

It was the Three-tailed Red Fox’s innate Demon Technique!

Refined for a thousand years to the point of perfection!

Below the Grandmaster realm, a single roar could shatter a soul!

Even a Grandmaster who took this attack head-on would have their Divine Soul thrown into chaos, fall into an illusion, and suffer severe spiritual damage!

"Die!!"

Its sneak attack had succeeded!

The Three-tailed Red Fox’s confidence soared. A broken sword burning with black blood flew out from its body, shooting toward Wu Dao from a distance.

That black blood was extraordinary!

It seemed to belong to an extremely terrifying creature, releasing the oppressive aura of an absolute apex predator!

As it burned, the Black Sword devoured and detonated a vast amount of the void’s Spiritual Qi to enhance its Mighty Power. It transformed into a black bolt of Thunderbolt, seemingly capable of cleaving even a Divine Being in two!

SKREEE!!

At the moment of life and death, his bodily functions, unleashed to two hundred percent, frantically squeezed out his latent potential!

His 500 years of Divine Arrival Fist Intent surged, erupting with a brilliant light!

The Overlord Whale leaped from the sea, suppressing his Divine Soul and crushing the illusions, instantly returning Wu Dao to his senses!

SHHNK!

The instant the Black Sword swung down, Wu Dao tilted his head, narrowly dodging the fatal blow.

But even so, the Black Sword still carved a huge, gruesome wound from his neck to his chest, leaving his internal organs clearly visible!

Even more terrifying, the black blood on the Black Sword seemed to have the ability to suppress Life Force. In his Divine Ghost Heaven State, his damaged tissues were actually unable to recover!

’He dodged it?’

The Three-tailed Red Fox’s pupils contracted abruptly.

’What kind of monster is this?’

’His physique is monstrous, his Divine Soul is just as monstrous... Does he really have no weaknesses?!’

CLANG!!

But it didn’t have long to be surprised.

Wu Dao let out a ferocious grin. Seemingly feeling no pain even though half his body had nearly been cleaved in two, he simply slapped the Black Sword away!

Then, he moved like a clap of thunder.

Before the sonic boom even sounded, he had already teleported across the space!

Dragon Fist rose, the Overlord Whale roared! He gathered all the Power in his body and, in the blink of an eye, threw a hundred punches—a meteor-like phantom—slamming squarely into the head of the now-helpless Red Fox!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—

Celestial Thunder boomed as dragons and snakes writhed across the earth!

The immense Power instantly tore through its Protective Gang Qi. Layer upon layer of power ripples spread from head to toe over the Three-tailed Red Fox’s entire body before pouring into the ground!

RUMBLE!

The earth in a nearly one-kilometer radius suddenly swelled, bulged, and undulated like waves before exploding into countless fragments that shot into the sky. It then collapsed, forming an enormous crater!

Urk...

In the center of the crater, the Three-tailed Red Fox’s expression froze for an instant.

The next moment...

BANG! BANG! BANG—

It was as if a thousand bombs had detonated simultaneously within the ten-meter-long, hill-sized fox body. A storm of mangled flesh and shattered bone erupted, and scorching blood rained down like a torrential downpour.

SPLASH~

Bathed in the rain of black blood, his physique propping up the heavens, Wu Dao held up a Demon Pill that shone like a small black sun. He opened his cavernous mouth, expanded his throat, and was about to swallow it in one gulp.

BZZZ~

But just then, the black Demon Pill suddenly trembled, and an extremely ancient and vast Spiritual Thought, its gender indiscernible, emerged from it—

"Wu Dao! Very good. From this day forward, my Fox Race will not rest until one of us is dead!!"

Wu Dao’s movements paused.

But only for an instant.

GULP~

The Demon Pill fell into his volcano-like, red-hot throat and was swallowed down with a peristaltic gulp.

At the last moment, Wu Dao’s voice, like ten-thousand-year-old ice and filled with endless tyranny, responded to the mysterious Spiritual Thought within the Demon Pill—

"Come to Lancang. I’ll be waiting for you to come kill me!"
