Desolate Devouring Art-Chapter 876 - Ultimate Attack
Chapter 876 - Ultimate Attack
The surroundings were filled with sword aura, capable of tearing everything apart.
Standing at its center, Liu Wuxie knew the sword aura would devour him if he didn't react anytime soon.
The Divine Shocking Sword was formidable. Legends claimed it could split the sky, the sun, and the moon and even shatter mountains and rivers.
The moment this sword technique was executed, even the blazing sun recoiled in fear, hiding behind layers of clouds. One could imagine the sheer might of this technique.
"What a powerful attack! Liu Wuxie is in danger now!" Screams echoed from the surroundings, and they were all captivated by the display of the sword technique.
Envy and adoration surged through the masses like a tidal wave, with praises echoing from the surroundings.
Even the distant disciples at the Spirit Profound Realm couldn't maintain their composure and were shocked by this attack. Relying on this martial technique, Qi Yang could rival those at the fifth-level Spirit Profound Realm despite being at the fourth level.
If Qi Yang was placed in the outside world, he could be hailed as a top-tier prodigy.
The sword aura had closed in before the sword arrived, and this was a formidable sword strike.
Liu Wuxie didn't need any reminders from the spectators. He knew better than anyone that this strike was enough to kill those at the low levels of the Spirit Profound Realm, not to mention someone at the third level of the True Profound Realm.
Everyone believed there was no escape for Liu Wuxie with the sword aura locking onto him.
Right in the critical moment, Liu Wuxie raised the Heretic Blade to the sky and took on the Golden Flame Strike's stance. The moment he attacked, cracking sounds echoed from the surrounding space as if it was about to split apart.
"What's going on? The ground is cracking!" The crowd staggered back, eyes widening as fissures tore through the battlefield.
"There's something wrong with this technique!"
They were shocked by the sheer power of the Divine Shocking Sword, but Liu Wuxie's Golden Flame Strike was on an entirely different level.
Blade aura erupted from the surroundings like a tidal wave, crashing wildly into the incoming sword aura.
"How is this possible...?" Exclamations erupted from the Spirit Profound Realm disciples, their eyes wide with disbelief. The sword aura of the Divine Shocking Sword had recoiled on its own, collapsing before the attack was even fully formed.
Only a Dao technique could accomplish such a feat. After all, Qi Yang had fused his Dao technique into the Divine Shocking Sword.
"Slash!" Liu Wuxie roared and swung the Heretic Blade.
The sky instantly changed as the sun and moon lost their luster. The world plunged into darkness, and even space collapsed, forming multiple swirling vortexes.
Liu Wuxie's lung palace opened, and boundless metal-attribute energy poured into the Golden Flame Strike like a golden blade descending from the sky.
A crack appeared in space with a deafening rumble, and the fissure began to spread rapidly as endless black winds howled forth.
When Liu Wuxie's blade descended, a golden tunnel appeared, blazing straight toward Qi Yang.
After three days of cultivation atop the Heavenly Gate Platform, Liu Wuxie gained a deeper insight into the Golden Flame Strike and could now entirely wield this Dao technique.
The divine force began pouring out like a tidal wave into the Dao technique. Upon reaching a high level, the execution of all Dao techniques needed the divine force. The stronger the divine force, the stronger the Dao technique would be.
Liu Wuxie had consumed several Divine Fruits and opened the Divine Gate, allowing an endless stream of divine force to pour into his dao technique. This instantly doubled the Golden Flame Strike's power.
This was because Liu Wuxie had only mobilized half of his true essence. His power would have increased if he had gone all out.
"The Divine Shocking Sword has broken apart! How is this possible?!" The Spirit Profound Realm disciples began to retreat as they watched Qi Yang's attack being torn apart by Liu Wuxie.
However, the blade aura showed no signs of stopping and continued to press downward.
"It's a Dao technique! He has fused a Dao technique into his blade technique!" Exclamations came from the crowd. Everyone knew the power of a Dao technique, and it wasn't something anyone could truly comprehend.
Only those at the Spirit Profound Realm could comprehend a Dao technique. The majority at the low levels of the Spirit Profound Realm could barely scratch the surface of a Dao technique, and the increase in their strength was insignificant even if they succeeded.
However, the Golden Flame Strike was different as it had fully unleashed the Dao technique's power.
Qi Yang was enraged that his attack was torn apart in front of such a large crowd. How could he face anyone after this?
"Divine Shocking Sword—second form!" A roar echoed as Qi Yang executed the second form. The power of his sword doubled instantly, surging forward in an attempt to tear apart the Golden Flame Strike.
The Golden Flame Strike showed signs of collapsing when the second form was unleashed. This was no longer a contest between techniques but a clash between Dao techniques.
The attacks began collating in the air when the two poured their true essence and divine force into their Dao techniques. It was clear to anyone that whoever's Dao technique or true essence was stronger would win.
Liu Wuxie had a clear advantage in the fight with boundless true essence.
"It's futile. Your Dao technique is too weak!" Liu Wuxie mocked.
The moment he finished speaking, the Golden Flame Strike changed with the blade aura divided into two, forming twin cyclones in the air—one Yin, one Yang—like twin dragons soaring above the heavens.
This discovery struck fear into countless people.
"He's a monster!"
Even the elders were drawn to the battlefield as they hid behind the clouds to witness the fight.

The one who spoke was an elder from the Half-Moon Peak who held the position of teaching disciples.
"Indeed. I can see limitless potential in this boy, and it's no wonder he passed through the Bridge of Heaven!" said an elder from Everlasting Peak.
Shortly after, the elders from the seven peaks began to arrive, drawn by the intensity of the battle. However, their focus remained entirely on Liu Wuxie. Even elders from the three courts and five academies had taken notice—his name had been spreading rapidly, marking him as a rising force within the academy.
His feats were nothing short of extraordinary.
Not only had he completed an impossible mission, but he had also killed Ning Hai, collected the spiritual rice for himself, and now faced Qi Yang in a grand duel. Such accomplishments were unheard of, even among the elite disciples of the Myriad Phase Cavern.
Two dragons descended as the Divine Shocking Sword's second form was ripped into fragments.
Qi Yang's face darkened even further after failing to kill Liu Wuxie despite unleashing two consecutive strikes. From the aura alone, one could tell that Qi Yang was at a complete disadvantage.
However, the crowd didn't know that Liu Wuxie had only used half of his strength. The Heavenly Dragon Seal, Earth-Binding Chains, and Annihilation Fist were his trump cards that he hadn't yet revealed publicly.
One could slaughter multiple enemies, another was ideal for one-on-one combat, and the Annihilation Fist was a suicidal technique, meant for fighting with his life on the line.
"Divine Shocking Sword—third form!" Qi Yang's attack changed again. This time, the true essence he released wasn't that intense, as it had been severely drained after using two ultimate techniques back-to-back.
This was the first time he had unleashed the Divine Shocking Sword's third form since joining the academy. The third form was ten times stronger than the first two forms, which manifested into a colossal sword in the air.
"Qi Yang is going all out now!" Exclamations came from the crowd. This was a desperate move to perish with the opponent, infusing blood essence into the attack to mobilize the primordial spirit.
If Liu Wuxie destroyed this attack, it would be a fatal blow to Qi Yang, as his primordial spirit and body would be damaged. This was no different from burning one's life force and fusing everything into the attack to amplify it.
The dragons began to collapse as the Divine Shocking Sword overwhelmed the Golden Flame Strike.
A faint smile crept onto Liu Wuxie's lips as he had achieved his goal. Since his breakthrough, he had been holding back, using Qi Yang as a means to consolidate his cultivation.
After reaching the third-level True Profound Realm, a battle was the best way to consolidate his cultivation.
"Qi Yang, it's time to end this farce!" Liu Wuxie said.
It was time for Qi Yang to die.
Liu Wuxie shot into the sky like a divine dragon, coiling in the air.
"What an exquisite movement technique!" When Liu Wuxie soared into the sky, he alarmed countless people. They all stared at him, completely ignoring Qi Yang.
"This is the abandoned movement technique! He has successfully learned it!" The elders, hidden further away, were shocked to see Liu Wuxie's technique.
"How does he possess the divine dragon's bloodline?!"
The White Dragon Peak elders were visibly displeased. Elder He, in particular, gritted his teeth in disbelief, refusing to accept this reality as he clung to his grudge over what had happened in Star Eclipse Valley.
"How fascinating...this is getting more interesting!" The Sky Incineration Peak elder said with a smile, brimming with curiosity like a child.
This movement technique was unknown to the younger generation, but the elders from the older generation were aware of it. They recognized it immediately when Liu Wuxie executed it.
He was like a soaring dragon, gliding through the heavens. When he leaped to the sky, the surrounding sword aura shattered like glass, unable to withstand the divine dragon power.
Qi Yang's face changed, and a premonition filled his heart, but it was too late for him to retreat. The battle had reached a point where only one could survive.
Besides, he would face Liu Wuxie's thunderous wrath when he retreated. His only option was to save himself and kill Liu Wuxie with an even more potent attack.
"Divine Shocking Sword—ultimate strike!" Qi Yang roared and flew to the sky, merging one with his sword. He had achieved a perfect union with the sword, which meant he would perish if the sword were destroyed.
Facing Qi Yang's ultimate attack, Liu Wuxie maintained his composure and dove from the sky.
"Frost Dao Art!" Liu Wuxie didn't summon the Heavenly Dragon Seal or Earth-Binding Chains. He resorted to the ice Dao technique to kill Qi Yang.
A suffocating force swept out and descended from the sky like a colossal shield blanketing the heavens.
When the movement technique unfolded, the surroundings fell silent, with no one speaking. Their eyes were fixed on this overwhelming attack.
"What a formidable Dao technique!" muttered the Half-Moon Peak elder.
