Desolate Devouring Art-Chapter 230 - Second-Level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm

The six students converged on the platform, encircling Liu Wuxie in an attempt to prevent him from claiming the dwelling.

“This is my territory, and the academy won’t intervene even if I cripple all six of you for trespassing,” Liu Wuxie declared, his fearlessness growing upon realizing that Fan Zhen was nurturing him. What did it matter if he took down all six of them?

Since Liu Wuxie had chosen this dwelling, anyone wishing to approach would need his permission. These six students had intruded on his territory without his consent. According to the rules, he was within his rights to cripple them and cast them out.

“Senior Brother Wang, why waste time with him? We should just cripple him!” the other students instigated their leader, who had yelled at Liu Wuxie earlier. This was because Wang Quansheng had the strongest cultivation among the six.

The other five were only in the low levels of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and they didn’t dare to make a move against Liu Wuxie.

They were still unaware of Liu Wuxie killing Shao Dongli. In their eyes, Liu Wuxie could only deal with those in the third level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm at best.

Pressured by everyone to intervene, Wang Quansheng felt the need to assert himself. He advanced and addressed Liu Wuxie, “Don’t claim that I didn’t offer you an opportunity. If you kneel and express regret now, I might intercede for you when Senior Brother Mo comes back. If not, you’re well aware of the fallout.” A wicked grin spread across Wang Quansheng’s face as he hoped to see Liu Wuxie bow in submission.

The competition among Heaven Grade students was even more brutal than that of Earth Grade students.

“I’m unaware of the consequences you’re referring to, but I’m well aware of yours. All six of you will be incapacitated by me and expelled from the mountain,” Liu Wuxie retorted, his eyes gleaming with a deadly determination. He knew he had to set a precedent to deter future harassment from other students. Therefore, making an example out of these individuals was his best course of action.

The disturbance caught the attention of the other students, who turned their heads to see what was happening.

“Look, someone picked one of those two abodes.” The students were still far away and couldn’t recognize Liu Wuxie from so far away.

“Liu Wuxie, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you killed the vice-headmaster. You only got lucky!”

The consensus among everyone was that Liu Wuxie’s victory over Qin Shi was due to a fortunate turn of events. Had it not been for the thunder, Liu Wuxie would have met his end.

“Enough with the nonsense!” Liu Wuxie had no patience for their chatter and disappeared in an instant. His speed was such that no one could track his movements. In a blink, he was in front of Wang Quansheng, hoisting him off the ground by his neck. This sudden action caused a stir among the onlookers.

The reason for their shock was Liu Wuxie’s incredible speed. Before they could comprehend what was happening, Liu Wuxie had already subdued Wang Quansheng.

“Liu Wuxie, let Senior Brother Wang go, or don’t blame us for being impolite!” The other five students took out their weapons and surrounded Liu Wuxie, prepared to attack at any moment. This was the first time Heaven Grade students ganged up on someone.

“Garbage!” Liu Wuxie said coldly and kicked Wang Quansheng’s lower abdomen, shattering his dantian.

Wang Quansheng spat out a mouthful of blood as his body went limp. Liu Wuxie then gave him another kick, sending him tumbling down the mountain.

The ten-odd students rushing over immediately stopped, not daring to take another step forward. They were only slightly stronger than Wang Quansheng, but even Wang Quansheng wasn’t Liu Wuxie’s opponent, and they wouldn’t make much difference.

“Are you all going to cripple your cultivation, or do you need my help?” Liu Wuxie dusted his hands and looked at the five remaining students without a hint of emotion in his eyes.

“Liu Wuxie, we’ll act on behalf of heaven today!” Despite what the five students said, they gritted their teeth and attacked Liu Wuxie together, wanting to find an opportunity to escape through offense. They quickly grasped the opportunity and turned around, running down the mountain.

“You all think you can escape?” Liu Wuxie’s voice was like the voice of a demon, causing the five students to tremble and increase their speed.

Liu Wuxie drew the Heretic Blade, unleashing a five-blade aura that shot at the lower abdomens of the five students. Blood gushed out from their abdomen from the cut as their true essence started gushing out from their bodies. It merely took ten-odd breaths before these five students were crippled.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. After crippling the six students, Liu Wuxie swept his gaze at the ten-odd students at the waist of the mountain. None of them dared to look Liu Wuxie directly in the eyes and fled without even caring for Wang Quansheng’s group.

After the trouble was resolved, Liu Wuxie opened the gate to the cave and noticed that the interior was more spacious than he had imagined. He entered the cave, and the stone gate slowly closed.

The walls were decorated with precious luminous pearls that illuminated the entire cave. He walked for roughly a minute and arrived before a massive hall. The interior was luxurious, and this place was equipped with everything. It was roughly a few hundred square meters.

The bedroom was on the left, which was convenient for him to rest in. On the right was the cultivating chamber, and the density of spiritual energy inside was more concentrated than that of the Five-Layered Golden Pagoda. Further inside were the alchemy chamber, forging chamber, and many other facilities. This cave wasn’t just luxurious, but it also had everything he needed.

It’s no surprise that everyone aspires to be a Heaven Grade student. The resources they have access to are unparalleled, Liu Wuxie mused.

Earth Grade and Profound Grade students had to do their best to earn credits to use the cultivating chamber, but it was different for Heaven Grade students because it was included in their abode.

Liu Wuxie didn’t waste time resting and entered the cultivating chamber. When he went into meditation, a terrifying amount of spiritual energy poured into the chamber, condensing into liquid and entering his body.

“It feels great!” Liu Wuxie wasn’t in a hurry to make a breakthrough. He needed time to adjust his condition. He wanted to stabilize his cultivation in the pinnacle of the Spirit Cleansing Realm before making a breakthrough.

It didn’t take long before the news of Liu Wuxie crippling Wang Quansheng’s group of six spread throughout the Heaven Grade region. Some people were furious, but some were also unbothered by it. Most people wore a gloating expression because Mo Cheng would soon return to the academy, and there would be a show to watch.

Unbeknownst to Liu Wuxie, two days had elapsed, and his condition had peaked. He had hit a plateau in his cultivation, reaching a bottleneck.

“It’s time for a breakthrough!” With the six fifth-grade pills in hand, Liu Wuxie intended to use them to unlock the gate to the Marrow Cleansing Realm. However, the success of the breakthrough ultimately depended on him.

Swallowing the first pill felt like a warm stream flowing throughout his body. He could sense each cell devouring the energy, and the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron also poured thousands of mysterious liquid droplets into his dantian.

The mysterious liquid turned into a mighty wave coursing through his body. The first pill lasted an hour, and his cultivation rose a little. Even so, he couldn’t pry open the gate to the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Swallowing the second fifth-grade pill, it turned into thousands of mysterious liquid droplets like the first, causing a rumble in the world in his dantian. This was a sign that he was going to make a breakthrough.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Wuxie swallowed the remaining four pills. The pills were converted into over ten thousand mysterious liquid droplets that formed into spiritual rain in his dantian.

It felt as though a mysterious gate had opened up in his body. It started from his soles, which felt like a shackle had been opened with boundless spiritual energy pouring into his dantian.

The Marrow Cleansing Realm was the process of washing the marrow. As more acupoints opened up, Liu Wuxie’s cultivation began to rise along with his strength. For ordinary people, unlocking ten acupoints was already the limit when making a breakthrough into the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Talented geniuses could unlock fifty acupoints, and monstrous geniuses could unlock a hundred.

While Liu Wuxie was still in the Spirit Cleansing Realm, he had already unlocked more than ten acupoints. So, when he progressed into the Marrow Cleansing Realm, his acupoints emitted cracking sounds, each forming a miniature vortex, absorbing the true essence in his meridians.

Liu Wuxie’s strength began to increase, especially his physique, which was transforming. Even the acupoints in his brain were unlocked, instantly clearing up his mind. It felt as though he had suddenly entered a whole new world.

When the acupoint on his temple was unlocked, he felt connected to heaven and earth. A surge of mysterious energy descended and poured into his body.

A strange phenomenon appeared above Liu Wuxie’s abode, with clouds gathering and taking on various shapes: a blade, a sword, a dragon, an elephant, a tiger, and many other forms.

This phenomenon naturally alarmed many people, but Liu Wuxie was immersed in his cultivation. He didn’t know what was happening in the outside world because it felt like his soul was wandering in space with meteorites streaking before him.

Liu Wuxie’s true essence had soared to the sky with all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints unlocked, including the hidden acupoints. This was unprecedented because no one had unlocked so many acupoints in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

This was because everyone would slowly unlock more acupoints as their cultivation advanced. But Liu Wuxie unlocked all his acupoints in the first level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. This meant that his true essence wasn’t weaker than those in the pinnacle of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

This signified that he was unmatched upon reaching the Marrow Cleansing Realm, except for those in the True Core Realm. If he were to confront Qin Shi again now, the battle would inevitably conclude in one way: Qin Shi’s demise.

As Liu Wuxie’s divine sense returned, it formed a powerful shockwave that swept out into the cave. But that wasn’t the end because Liu Wuxie’s accumulation was too terrifying. Not to mention that he had absorbed a fragment of a spiritual tree. The energy was accumulated in the world in his dantian, and it hadn’t been refined yet.

Upon reaching the Marrow Cleansing Realm, Liu Wuxie’s refining speed increased. His cultivation continued to increase as he consumed energy through his acupoints, the cauldron, and the mysterious tree.

In an instant, Liu Wuxie had consumed all the spiritual energy within a radius of tens of thousands of meters.

The other Heaven Grade students, who were in the midst of their cultivation, noticed the disappearance of spiritual energy. They emerged from their abodes, looking towards the direction where the spiritual energy had vanished.

“Has Senior Brother Mo returned?” There was a formidable amount of spiritual energy near Mo Cheng’s abode, and many were still unaware that the abode to the right of Mo Cheng’s had been claimed.

“Senior Brother Mo hasn’t returned. It’s someone else cultivating. I didn’t expect him to cause such a terrifying scene.” The news of Liu Wuxie being promoted to Heaven Grade student soon spread, and no one had expected him to become neighbors with Mo Cheng.

As Liu Wuxie continued to devour spiritual energy, his cultivation rose. Over ten thousand mysterious liquid droplets poured out from the cauldron into his dantian again, bringing Liu Wuxie’s cultivation to the second level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
