Desolate Devouring Art-Chapter 809 - Heavenly Dragons Might
Chapter 809 - Heavenly Dragon's Might
The five disciples moved simultaneously, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks that formed into a tidal wave, threatening to devour Liu Wuxie. The ground trembled and cracked, with stone fragments swirling above Liu Wuxie's head.
It was a terrifying sight as a battle of this scale had exceeded the limits of the Nascent Transformation Realm. The sheer force of the fight alone was comparable to the True Profound Realm.
Everyone held their breaths as they watched, not daring to blink their eyes, afraid they would miss out on the slightest detail of the fight.
Elder He remained motionless, his sharp gaze locked onto Liu Wuxie as if trying to pierce through him. The other elders watched with amused smiles. They had no intention of interfering—if anything, they welcomed seeing White Dragon Peak suffer a setback.
The burly man who had stepped forward first swung his warhammer down, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that sent rocks flying in all directions. The force was so immense that the stones pierced through distant trees, detonating upon impact.
Each swing of the warhammer echoed like firecrackers bursting in rapid succession, shaking the battlefield.
At the same time, the remaining four disciples spread out, launching simultaneous strikes at four vital points—chest, back, neck, and legs. They had sealed off every possible escape route.
Liu Wuxie felt mounting pressure as he faced five disciples at the pinnacle of the Nascent Transformation Realm. He knew it was impossible to kill all five relying on True Strike alone. But he could crush any of them effortlessly if he faced them one-on-one.
"You people forced me!" Liu Wuxie's murderous intent erupted. His eyes glowed crimson hue as his murderous intent swept out with uncontainable rage. He had been suppressing his anger for too long, but White Dragon Peak forced him to do so repeatedly.
Since that was the case, he would start a massacre until no one dared to provoke him.
"Heavenly Dragon Seal, crush them!" It had been too long since Liu Wuxie had used the Heavenly Dragon Seal. After all, the Earth-Binding Chains were enough against most opponents, but they could only deal with one person at a time.
Since he faced five opponents, the best way was to crush them completely. The moment the Heavenly Dragon Seal was brought out, the sky turned dark, and the surroundings plunged into an abyss of darkness.
The surrounding air was siphoned away, creating a vacuum world. The attacks unleashed by the five disciples vanished, crushed by the Heavenly Dragon Seal.
"What's going on? What is this power?" The five disciples recoiled in horror, but it was too late to retreat. The Heavenly Dragon Seal had locked onto them, and they couldn't break free no matter how they tried.
"What a powerful artifact!" Even the elders from the other peaks stood up in shock.
"It's a dragon clan's artifact!" Half-Moon Peak's elder gaped in shock, unable to believe his eyes. It was unbelievable that Liu Wuxie could control a dragon clan's artifact.
The Heavenly Dragon Seal was infused with a dragon's blood essence, making it highly violent. Its boundless dragon aura filled heaven and earth.
Even from hundreds of meters away, the seated disciples felt an overwhelming, oppressive aura pressing down on them, forcing them to lower their heads. Some even had the uncontrollable urge to kneel in reverence. The sheer might unleashed by the Heavenly Dragon Seal shook Star Eclipse Valley to its core. Even the Void Cloud Pillar trembled, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
Although Liu Wuxie hadn't refined the Heavenly Dragon Seal much in the past year, it had been nourished in the desolate world. To begin with, the seal was a dragon clan's artifact. But the power had declined due to a missing corner. But the power was gradually restored after he had repaired it.
The disciple who was closest to Liu Wuxie tried to flee, but he could only watch as the seal descended and crushed him. Even the burly man barely had the time to react as a sudden force slammed him down when he leaped into the air, causing him to stumble and nearly lose his footing when he landed.
Before he could react, the Heavenly Dragon Seal descended with an even stronger power. The ground began to crack, and the entire Star Eclypse Valley was reduced to ruins.
No one had anticipated that a gathering meant to welcome new disciples would turn into a massacre, with Liu Wuxie mercilessly slaughtering his challengers.
"Die! Die! Die!" Liu Wuxie's voice rang out as the remaining four disciples vanished. The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron absorbed their energy, converting it into laws that surged into the desolate world, further strengthening him.
As his strength grew, so did his ranking on the Void Cloud Pillar. Each time he killed someone, his power would increase. After killing the five disciples, the Heavenly Dragon Seal returned to his hand and vanished.
Liu Wuxie stood motionless, his expression indifferent, as if nothing had happened—as if he hadn't just massacred five disciples in the blink of an eye. This time, every gaze fixed on him was filled with sheer terror. It was beyond horrifying—five disciples at the pinnacle of the Nascent Transformation Realm had been wiped out in an instant.
"No wonder he could obtain 3,500 points in the fourth stage. Seeing this, everything makes perfect sense now." Some disciples nodded in quiet agreement. With strength, this monstrous, any ordinary Nascent Transformation Realm cultivator who crossed paths with him was as good as dead.
Many people had previously suspected that Liu Wuxie had stumbled upon an interspatial ring filled with jade tokens to secure first place in the assessment. But it was evident that he was stronger than they had imagined.
"This is insane. Let's see how White Dragon Peak handles this. There's no turning back now—war has been declared," some disciples whispered, gloating at the situation. After all, the more disciples that perished, the higher their own chances of rising in the ranks.
Liu Wuxie had declared war upon White Dragon Peak, and the latter had also accepted it. They had already sent five disciples. This made everyone wonder if they would send more. If they did, their reputation would be tattered even if they won and killed Liu Wuxie.
A heavy silence fell over Star Eclypse Valley. The disciples who wanted to challenge Liu Wuxie had abandoned the idea and didn't even dare to raise their heads. As for their rankings, to hell with it. What was more important than staying alive?
Even the disciples of White Dragon Peak began to hesitate. Liu Wuxie's words rang true—was it really worth dying as mere pawns? They had joined the academy to grow stronger, not to die for nothing.
Liu Wuxie swept his gaze across the crowd. Seeing that no one dared step forward, he simply turned and returned to his seat.
Elder He's cold gaze bore into his back. If looks could kill, Liu Wuxie would've died a thousand times by now. White Dragon Peak's reputation would be in tatters if he allowed Liu Wuxie to leave.
When he turned to look at White Dragon Peak's area, the disciples lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eyes. They had given their answer in silence.
Just as Liu Wuxie was leaving, a surge of True Profound Realm's aura descended from the sky as someone made their move. A disciple who was ranked at 50,000 had stepped forward. He couldn't accept that he, a cultivator at the True Profound Realm, was ranked lower than Liu Wuxie.
Moreover, this was his golden opportunity to represent White Dragon Peak. If he could kill Liu Wuxie, he believed he would receive Elder He's support, securing his future in White Dragon Peak.

When he stepped forward, Elder He gave him a satisfied nod with a silent promise in his eyes.
No one believed that Liu Wuxie stood a chance against someone at the True Profound Realm. Though he had slain eight opponents in succession, a cultivator at the True Profound Realm was different.
"Remember the name of the one who will kill you—Chen Yan!" The man's cold voice rang out as he glared at Liu Wuxie. He was furious that he hadn't been chosen for the Myriad Phase Cavern, the three courts, or the five institutions.
Though White Dragon Peak wasn't a bad choice, it paled in comparison to the nine places he had hoped to join. Thus, he could only vent his resentment on Liu Wuxie, believing that the latter had stolen too many points, preventing him from entering the top hundred.
"Why would I remember a fly like you?" Liu Wuxie mocked.
"Liu Wuxie, I'll make you wish you were dead!" Chen Yan was enraged. Boundless murderous intent erupted from him, and Liu Wuxie's clothes fluttered from the shockwave.
He summoned a pair of brushes, a rare weapon among cultivators. After all, most people typically favored swords.
The brush moved fluidly, targeting two of Liu Wuxie's vital spots. The attack was unleashed at a tricky angle, leaving little time to defend.
Liu Wuxie didn't dare to be careless and always fought with everything he had regardless of his opponent. The Heretic Blade appeared in his hand as there was no need for the Heavenly Dragon Seal since he only faced one opponent.
With the Ice Dao Technique paired with True Strike, Liu Wuxie was confident in dealing with his opponent. He unleashed a series of taps in mid-air, knocking away the brushes coming his way.
Meanwhile, Liu Wuxie found a gap and struck with the Heretic Blade, which appeared before Chen Yan. Everything happened in the blink of an eye, catching Chen Yan by surprise.
After fighting for so long, Liu Wuxie's fighting style was ever-changing and unpredictable. He employed different moves during each battle and never adhered to a single pattern.
No form was the best form. By abandoning a fixed form, he became an opponent with attacks nearly impossible to defend against.
"This boy's combat talent is too strong. I've never seen anyone with such powerful control over the battle before," said Azure Cloud Peak's elder, stroking his beard in admiration for Liu Wuxie's talent.
"Aside from his extraordinary combat talent, his true essence exceeds his peers. Even those at the True Profound Realm can't rival him," said Spring Rain Peak's elder. The elder was a woman who had discovered that the laws in Liu Wuxie's body had far exceeded those of ordinary disciples.
"This is interesting. It's too early to say who will win this fight," said Everlasting Peak's elder. His eyes gleamed with curiosity.
As the battle intensified, Chen Yan found himself increasingly on the defensive. His attacks were thwarted at every turn, frustration flickering across his face as he struggled against the relentless onslaught of ice rays and the Heretic Blade slipping through every opening.
Victory and defeat could be decided in an instant. The fight moved at lightning speed, with both fighters exchanging blows in a blur of motion. The first to reveal an opening would fall.
Chen Yan was cunning as he repeatedly used his True Profound Realm's laws to restrain Liu Wuxie. However, his efforts were futile, as Liu Wuxie remained unfazed. He even countered with his laws to reverse the flow of battle.
"Twin Dragon Dive!" Chen Yan roared, and the brushes in his hand flew out, attacking Liu Wuxie from above and below. They were like two dragons, making it nearly impossible to guard against. A single misstep and Liu Wuxie would be finished.
Chen Yan's strength was comparable to Zhao Chao's. He had failed to enter the five institutions because of his points during the assessment. Thus, he sought to prove himself by killing Liu Wuxie.
"This is starting to get interesting," Liu Wuxie muttered, though boredom crept in—Chen Yan's openings were becoming too easy to exploit.
