Desolate Devouring Art-Chapter 790 - Last Day

The blade aura tore through all resistance with an unstoppable momentum and appeared before Wei Shan.

With a loud crack, the golden sword aura was sliced apart by the Heretic Blade. They both used a similar move, but there was a drastic difference.

Wei Shan's eyes widened with disbelief, and he couldn't believe Liu Wuxie had easily ripped apart his attack. He didn't hesitate to retreat, wanting to avoid the incoming strike.

However, the blade aura clung to him like a shadow. He couldn't shake it off, no matter how he tried.

"Die!" Liu Wuxie's voice echoed, and the blade aura expanded, sealing off all of Wei Shan's path of retreat.

In the next moment, Wei Shan was torn apart, and the laws within his body were converted into liquified spiritual energy, flowing above the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron. As for his corpse, it had already been incinerated by the demonic flame.

After killing Wei Shan, Liu Wuxie obtained another number seven jade token. He had already collected four of the five jade tokens.

The ten examiners watched with a bitter smile. No one had expected there to be such a monstrous prodigy like Liu Wuxie in this recruitment test.

Even if he headed to the Star River Valley now, his points would be enough for him to pass the test. When he sorted through the jade tokens collected by Wei Shan, there were over thirty tokens, each with the same last digit of seven.

It was clear that Wei Shan had only targeted those with matching last digits to save time. After all, seizing another jade token with an unrelated number had no meaning, and it would only be worth one point even if he obtained it.

In addition to Wei Shan's jade token, Liu Wuxie made a rough calculation, and his points totaled around two thousand. He had given Zhao Chao a jade token and obtained one hundred points in return. This was a worthwhile trade.

He continued up the mountain path and pressed on. Whenever he ran into fools who dared to block his way, he didn’t hesitate to kill them. This also allowed him to collect more jade tokens.

His collection of jade tokens steadily snowballed, growing larger with each passing encounter. The tokens taken from those who had been killed ultimately ended up in Liu Wuxie’s possession.

On the sixth day, Liu Wuxie finally turned around and headed to the Star River Valley. His points were close to two thousand five hundred, and there was no longer any purpose for him to carry on.

When he returned to the vast plains, he saw many people wandering around to search for suitable prey. Out of the twenty-five thousand participants, over two thousand people had died in six days, and over half of the participants had their jade tokens robbed.

There was also another group who had neither gained nor lost any jade tokens.

When Liu Wuxie entered the vast plains, he became a target. As he had predicted, the last two days of the assessment would be the bloodiest. Not one would hold back at this point, not even if they were facing their friends.

"What a hassle," Liu Wuxie muttered. He had no desire to carry on killing, as the examiners were watching him closely. He knew there would be no benefits if he stood out too much, and he didn't hesitate to dart into the dense woods.

Seeing Liu Wuxie attempt to escape, the three youths immediately gave chase. Their jade token numbers didn’t match his, but desperation had driven them to hunt for any points they could get.

In just a breath's time, Liu Wuxie vanished into the woods, throwing the three pursuers behind.

"Damn it! He fled!" Everyone's divine sense was limited, and the woods blocked their vision. So, they couldn't find Liu Wuxie the moment he hid himself.

After they left, Liu Wuxie emerged from behind a large tree and continued his journey. But he was unsure if someone was hidden behind a large tree ten meters away.

Ambushes were a daily occurrence there, and the journey to the Star River Valley was far from peaceful. Just as Liu Wuxie approached the area, a sharp aura descended from the sky. The attack was perfectly timed, giving him no time to react.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The other party intended to end the fight in one strike, and he had claimed the lives of multiple victims using this approach.

However, Liu Wuxie had never let his guard down for a moment. The moment the sword aura flew at him, he propelled himself upward and threw out a punch, sending ripples of raw power surging forward.

Liu Wuxie destroyed the sword aura with one punch. He was capable of slaying cultivators at the pinnacle of the Nascent Transformation Realm, relying on his physique.

The dissipated sword aura swept out in all directions as a shockwave.

The youth hiding behind the tree leaped into the sky, unleashing the second sword aura toward Liu Wuxie, continuing to attack even after failing.

"You're courting death!" Liu Wuxie was enraged. The other party had number one hundred and forty on his clothes. While it was useless to him, that didn't mean Liu Wuxie would spare the youth.

Retrieving the Heretic Blade, Liu Wuxie swung it out and unleashed a blade ray in the form of a swirling vortex. The incoming sword aura was absorbed into the vortex, which was the yin-yang energy Liu Wuxie had comprehended.

Qu Su trembled, and he sensed the interweaving forces of yin and yang. He couldn't believe Liu Wuxie had grasped yin and yang. After all, those were the hardest to comprehend among all dao techniques.

Compared to the two, most cultivators commonly comprehended elements like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. But those like poison or yin-yang were incredibly difficult to master.

The youth felt his sword sink into what felt like quicksand, immobilized and dragged deeper into the swirling vortex as it was slowly assimilated. His expression changed instantly, but it was too late to pull the sword back.

"You can die now!" Liu Wuxie commanded, unleashing the full force of the yin-yang energy. It exploded, forming a massive millstone that engulfed the youth. The spinning force crushed the youth’s body into pieces, reducing him to a bloody mist.

The genuine Great Yin-Yang Art could even slice through space and reverse time. What Liu Wuxie had grasped was merely a fraction of it.

Only an interspatial ring remained, falling from the sky as Liu Wuxie picked it up and resumed his journey.

"This path won't be peaceful, and there will be more ambushes," Liu Wuxie murmured. He steeled himself and prepared for the final stretch. Only those who traveled in groups weren’t targeted. Since he was by himself, he became a prime target for many.

With the Heretic Blade in hand, Liu Wuxie spent the entire day in massacre, killing everyone who dared to stand in his way.

"Fiery, clear the path for me!" Liu Wuxie said. In an ambush, he had to face someone at the first-level True Profound Realm, and the other party left a cut on his left arm. This gave Liu Wuxie no chance but to use the Earth-Binding Chains to kill his opponent, but it was a bitter victory.

Just facing someone at the first level of True Profound Realm pushed him to his limit, and he would run out of luck if he faced someone at the second level of True Profound Realm. With no other choice, Liu Wuxie could only release Fiery to clear the path for him.

Fiery was small and could move unnoticed, enabling him to detect threats before they reached him.

When evening arrived, Liu Wuxie no longer ran into danger. He found a tree and climbed it, planning to rest for the night before continuing the journey tomorrow. Tomorrow was the final day, and he could imagine everyone going insane for points.

He took out several spiritual fruits and tossed them to Fiery. Had it not been for Fiery, he would've run into more danger along the way. He had only managed to avoid them through Fiery's sharp instincts.

After killing so many people, all their interspatial rings had fallen into his hands, and there were countless spiritual fruits within. They were enough to sustain Fiery for a long time.

Had it been another profound beast, its body would have been overwhelmed by the massive influx of energy, likely causing it to explode. But for some reason, Fiery showed no signs of change, no matter how many spiritual fruits it devoured.

Apart from its swollen and rounded belly, it seemed completely unaffected by the influx of energy. After it finished eating, it curled up in Liu Wuxie's embrace to sleep.

Liu Wuxie also consumed a fair share of spiritual fruits along the way, further refining his physique and purifying his true essence. Tenth-grade pills were common to him as candies, and he consumed a few daily without hesitation.

His victims had all been prodigies from various sects and clans, carrying valuable resources meant to help them secure admission to the academy and quickly establish themselves.

However, those very resources now ensured that Liu Wuxie wouldn’t have to worry about his own cultivation needs for the time being.

After merging his laws, Liu Wuxie required an absurd amount of resources, and even with his current supply, they would only last him for the next six months at best.

Under the relentless bombardment of tenth-grade pills, Liu Wuxie could sense his physique growing stronger. His physique was now nearing the might of a fifth- or sixth-level True Profound Realm.

After a night's rest, the seventh day arrived, and this was also the most crucial day. Whoever failed to secure the required passing points today, would be eliminated from the Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy's assessment.

When Liu Wuxie opened his eyes, a golden ray shot out from the depth of his eyes, causing the trees and leaves to explode before him. Just a look alone could annihilate cultivators at the low-level of the Nascent Transformation Realm.

"Fiery, it's time to wake up!" Liu Wuxie kicked Fiery, who had snored throughout the night.

Fiery yelped as it rolled down the tree, shaking its head. After consuming a few spiritual fruits, it had grown noticeably larger, and it was now too big to nestle comfortably in Liu Wuxie's arms.

After waking up completely, it began to brandish its paws to protest.

"We need to hurry. The further we go, the more treacherous the path will become," Liu Wuxie said, and he resumed his journey with Fiery.

Aside from them, many others were also heading toward the Star River Valley, hoping to reach its safety before being ambushed. After all, killing was forbidden within the valley, regardless of one’s strength.

Liu Wuxie had recovered to his peak state after resting. He unsheathed the Heratic Blade and executed the Ghost Eye. Though the Ghost Eye was also restricted to ten meters, he could rely on it to detect imminent threats.

Passing through a mountain ridge, he estimated he was half a day away from the Star River Valley.

Fiery struggled to climb onto a large boulder and raised its paws, demanding to rest.

Liu Wuxie glanced around, and the surroundings were vast plains aside from some trees with no visible threats. He tossed a spiritual fruit over to Fiery.

Although he hadn't engaged in a battle, maintaining high alert for a prolonged period taxed his soul energy.

Just as Liu Wuxie sat down, Fiery suddenly sprang up, startled. A small, triangular-headed serpent had slithered out of a nearby crack, its fangs bared as it lunged, aiming to bite Fiery.

But Fiery, being a divine beast with lightning-fast reflexes, leaped onto Liu Wuxie’s shoulder in an instant. At the same moment, the Heretic Blade descended, slicing through the serpent and splattering its blood across the boulder.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" Liu Wuxie's voice rumbled. He was lucky that Fiery had gone up the boulder first. Had he been the one to sit on the boulder first, he might have fallen for the ambush himself.
