Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

What the Ice Python had just unleashed using the Azure Dragon Pearl was the legendary Devouring Dao, ranked thirteenth among the Three Thousand Great Dao. How could Wen Qingye not recognize it?

It was widely known that the Dragon Race possessed a Dao capable of devouring the sun and moon, of swallowing the very sky—the Devouring Dao.

Legend had it that when the Devouring Dao was cultivated to its apex, it could devour anything—even an entire world.

And the Ice Python was now in the midst of advancing, having devoured the entirety of Shan Tong’s Essence.

Wen Qingye thought of the Azure Dragon Pearl, frowning. ’There should still be a trace of its origin within this Azure Dragon Pearl. I wonder if absorbing this trace could suppress the Dragon’s Might in my body and repair my meridians...’

”Kill Wen Qingye! Then kill that Ice Python!”

Seeing Shan Tong’s inexplicable disappearance, the disciples of the Heaven-Burying Sect showed no alarm. Instead, they grew even more fanatical, their eyes locked on Wen Qingye, brimming with killing intent.

This was the most fearsome aspect of the Heaven-Burying Sect. Unlike the disciples of other Sects, who sometimes lacked a willingness to die, every one of them was possessed by a fanatical faith, ready to sacrifice their own lives to achieve their goals.

The giant halberd before the six men glowed even more intensely, a boundless, ferocious might radiating from its cold, gleaming edge.

”Wuji Halberd Technique! Wind God Appearance!”

The six roared in unison. The tip of the giant halberd flickered with an azure light, and a hurricane that seemed almost tangible swept forth, kicking up sand and stones in a scene of utter devastation.

Wen Qingye’s eyes were as calm and still as an ancient well. He gripped Bladeless with both hands, unleashing a boundless Emperor’s might that surged outward in all directions like a tide.

”Fifth Form of the Sword Emperor Technique! Sword Dominator of the World!”

Wen Qingye slashed down. In that instant, it was as if a colossal sword capable of cleaving mountains descended from the void, crashing down upon the tip of the halberd.

BOOM!

The impact forced Wen Qingye back four or five steps. He had to admit, these disciples were formidable; they had to be elite members of the Heaven-Burying Sect.

”Wuji Halberd Technique! Rain God Kill!”

As Wen Qingye retreated, the giant halberd swept in like a gust of wind. A sky-blotting torrent of afterimages seemed to melt into the breeze, silently enveloping all of Wen Qingye’s vital spots in an instant.

The assault was sharp, vicious, and utterly decisive.

Wen Qingye’s expression grew serious. He swung Bladeless with great force, and the giant sword howled through the air, unleashing what seemed like thousands of flickering sword images that filled the space before him.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Innumerable Sword Auras and halberd afterimages clashed in a frenzy. Each impact was accompanied by a piercing shriek and a burst of sparks that bloomed like fireworks—a beautiful sight that concealed lethal danger.

In just a brief moment, the Sword Auras and halberd afterimages had collided thousands of times. It was hard to imagine such an assault coming from someone at the Fourth Heaven of Destruction Realm.

”We need to end this fast! Don’t give Wen Qingye a single moment to breathe!”

One of them bellowed. The others nodded, furiously channeling their Primordial Qi into the giant halberd.

The sky full of halberd afterimages suddenly erupted in a dazzling azure light. A massive azure hurricane, dozens of feet wide, shot out and surged toward Wen Qingye.

’If that’s how it is, then it’s time to end this.’

A cold glint flashed through Wen Qingye’s eyes. He shifted the Bladeless Heavy Sword behind his back and drew the Still Water Sword from his waist.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

He was about to unleash the Killing Lifeless Principle!

Suddenly, a golden light flashed. The hearts of the Heaven-Burying Sect disciples trembled, and they felt an overwhelming urge to fall to their knees.

”Sixth Form of the Sword Emperor Technique! Only I am the Emperor!”

Flecks of golden light shimmered, surging toward the six men. Their movement seemed both fast and slow, appearing deceptively unremarkable, yet the Blade Qi within could annihilate a person’s Primordial Spirit.

Wen Qingye had unleashed this strike with his full power. Although his Killing Lifeless Principle had yet to achieve a major breakthrough, remaining at the first layer of the Human Dao Realm, it was more than enough to deal with these men.

The golden Sword Aura floated past like a fleeting aurora, cleanly slicing the azure hurricane in two. Though its power was greatly diminished, the remnant of the Sword Aura continued on toward the six men.

The six men exchanged a look. Instead of retreating, they advanced, simultaneously unleashing their Martial Arts to meet the golden Sword Aura.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The golden Sword Aura was shattered by their combined Martial Arts. All six men began to sneer, but in the next instant, their smiles froze and their faces turned deathly pale.

Wen Qingye was closing in with large strides, his body flowing with his steps. With every footfall, a Sword Aura scattered forth.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

Six sprays of blood danced in the air as blood gushed like fountains. Wen Qingye landed lightly on the ground as if he had just done something trivial. He indifferently sheathed the Still Water Sword, then leaped toward the Ice Python.

The Ice Python’s body had stopped writhing. Its aura was greatly diminished, and it appeared weak, but its cultivation had actually reached the Life and Death Realm Second Layer.

The Ice Python spoke in a low voice, ”I used the Dragon Pearl to absorb that master from the Heaven-Burying Sect. I’m extremely weak now and need to recuperate for a while. I’m afraid I can’t help you anymore.”

Wen Qingye said, ”It’s fine. Shan Tong is dead, and I’ve killed the other six. The rest of them should be no match for Yann Chuxue, Xia Liu, and Chen Xi’Er.”

The Ice Python closed its eyes. Its body slowly transformed, becoming a streak of blue light that coiled around Wen Qingye’s index finger.

Wen Qingye looked at the True Essence Fruits ahead and couldn’t help but smile. ’Looks like all these True Essence Fruits are mine for the taking. I wonder if the people from the Three Realms Sect, the Flowing Cloud Sect, and the Celestial Thunder Hall will still try to demand them from me.’

On the True Essence Fruit Tree ahead, a number of True Essence Fruits swayed in the gentle breeze. Counting carefully, there were a full fourteen of them.

With a push of his foot, Wen Qingye was on a branch of the True Essence Fruit Tree in the blink of an eye. He grabbed two of the sparkling, translucent fruits, and a vigorous wave of Primordial Qi and life force instantly surged into his body.

In that instant, his cultivation actually showed signs of loosening. An opportunity like this couldn’t be missed. Wen Qingye immediately stuffed the True Essence Fruits into his mouth and swallowed.

A torrential wave of Primordial Qi rushed wildly to every corner of Wen Qingye’s body, pouring into his meridians and forcing the cracks already present within them to split even wider.

This Primordial Qi was immense, yet its purity was astonishing. It was so pure that it required no refinement from Wen Qingye. Moreover, for some unknown reason, the energy offered no resistance to him at all; controlling it was as easy as moving a limb.

The vast Primordial Qi circulated along the meridians of the Longevity Technique. After one full cycle, it burst forth like a flash flood, crashing into his Qi Sea with a thunderous roar.

His two Qi Seas, which had already been close, began to draw even nearer. Wen Qingye once again felt the world inside him shake and the mountains tremble.

Feeling the changes within his body, Wen Qingye knew he had to solve the issue with his meridians quickly. Otherwise, his meridians would likely rupture completely before he could even break through to the Life and Death Realm.
