Desolate Devouring Art

Chapter 300 - Champion

Xi Jian’s words drew much agreement from the other envoys.

“Let’s wait a little longer. They will be able to determine a victor between them!” Yu Tianyi said. There was still some time left to an hour mark.

Heat waves swept out from the arena, and not even those at the second level of the True Core Realm could withstand it.

As the two blades continued to clash, the sounds produced by the collision echoed in the sky. After the Heretic Blade, now a mythical artifact, was unleashed, its power surged, shaking the very foundation of the arena.

“Look, Senior Brother Ye has comprehended the profundity of the Horizon Sentient Blade!” Exclamations came from the audience as a powerful blade swung down.

A powerful force seeped from the depths of the earth and empowered his blade. Ye Feng’s blade technique reached a new height in this critical moment.

“That kid is in danger now!” Liu Wuxie had executed the Fatality Blade Art to the limit, but it would be difficult to resolve Ye Feng’s Horizon Sentient Blade.

A scorching wave swept out, forcing Liu Wuxie to retreat over ten meters away from Ye Feng. The immense power from the depth of the earth was like a towering mountain, manifesting into a gigantic palm crushing down at Liu Wuxie.

If this palm struck Liu Wuxie, he would be crushed to death. Ye Feng attacked without the intention of showing mercy.

“This is too terrifying! Perhaps only someone in the higher levels of the True Core Realm could resolve this attack.” Everyone had disbelief on their faces and was deeply captivated by this sword technique.

“Liu Wuxie, you can die now!” Ye Feng’s voice sounded like a grim reaper’s, announcing Liu Wuxie’s death sentence. The giant palm descended on Liu Wuxie’s head, leaving him breathless.

“Ye Feng, is this the strongest attack you got?” Liu Wuxie remained indifferent and raised the Heretic Blade. His eyes emitted an eerie gleam that shot toward Ye Feng’s eyes.

“Ghost Eye, kill!” Since the feud between them was irreconcilable, there was no need for Liu Wuxie to hold back.

“ARGH!” Ye Feng was caught off guard and let out a miserable cry. However, he was fortunate that he protected his soul in the last moment and didn’t suffer any severe injuries. He only felt a piercing pain in his soul sea.

After Liu Wuxie’s battle with Shui Huan, his Ghost Eye no longer remained a secret. However, that wasn’t the end, as Liu Wuxie began inscribing with his right hand, drawing a spiritual rune and imbuing it into his blade technique.

“Cut!” An incomplete immortal rune merged into the blade without anyone noticing, not even the ten envoys. They only saw a cold flash before the power in Liu Wuxie’s blade technique increased.

Liu Wuxie’s blade was unbelievably fast, and no one could keep up. The sword descended.

“Ye Feng, dodge quickly!” A middle-aged man from the Black Chu Empire roared. His name was Yu Qiong. He was the brother-in-law of the current emperor, the headmaster of the Black Chu Empire, and Ye Feng’s master.

He never said a word throughout Ye Feng’s battles, but this battle made him fearful. He was afraid something might happen to Ye Feng.

When Ye Feng felt the stinging pain in his soul sea, he instantly realized something was wrong. He chose to retreat without any hesitation to avoid this deadly strike.

“You want to run? Dream on!” Liu Wuxie attacked, intending to kill. He knew that if he couldn’t get rid of Ye Feng that day, the latter would cause him trouble in the future.

The Heretic Blade cleaved down, and there was no room to avoid Ye Feng. After all, Liu Wuxie’s blade was further fortified with immortal runes.

A series of explosions occurred in the air, forming shockwaves that swept through Ye Feng. This destroyed Ye Feng’s attack, leaving him feeling like a small rift in a roaring ocean, on the verge of being devoured in the next second.

Liu Wuxie’s blade aura appeared three meters from Ye Feng, and the latter would die if this attack reached him. However, in the nick of time, a figure appeared in mid-air, swiping his hand and unleashing an invisible shockwave to resolve Liu Wuxie’s blade aura.

Even so, the shockwave still sent Ye Feng flying away, and he threw up blood.

Liu Wuxie squinted when he saw that someone had saved Ye Feng. He shifted his eyes to Yu Tianyi and was surprised that the Heavenly Origin Sect’s envoy had interfered.

“You have won this battle. Let’s end it here!” Yu Tianyi announced the outcome of the battle, with Liu Wuxie becoming the champion with nine undefeated victories.

When Ye Feng landed on the ground, he retreated ten-odd steps before he regained his footing, but his face was terrifyingly grim. Liu Wuxie would have killed him if Yu Tianyi hadn’t saved him.

“Why did you stop me from killing him?” Liu Wuxie questioned Yu Tianyi. This was his feud with Ye Feng, and no one should have intervened, not even the envoys. His tone was unfriendly because no one could stop him from killing Ye Feng, not even an envoy.

“Are you teaching me how to do things?” Yu Tianyi’s face became grim, and he released his aura towards Liu Wuxie. The terrifying aura he gave off made Liu Wuxie’s body creak, with blood dripping down his lips.

“Hahaha! You think the Heavenly Dipper Realm is powerful?” Liu Wuxie circulated the Desolate Devouring Art, alleviating the surrounding pressure with a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

“It’s not powerful, but more than enough to kill you.” A hint of murderous intent flashed in Yu Tianyi’s eyes, and he wanted to act against Liu Wuxie.

The sudden turn of events caught everyone by surprise. Everyone was baffled, seeing the envoys intervening in the fight.

“Yu Tianyi, aren’t you taking it too far?” Fan Lin appeared before Liu Wuxie. When he appeared, the pressure coming from Yu Tianyi disappeared.

“Fan Lin, you want to intervene as well?” Yu Tianyi was furious. He was a disciple of the Heavenly Origin Sect and was used to his high status.

The other envoys came over because they were baffled by Yu Tianyi’s actions.

“According to the rules, the envoys aren’t allowed to intervene, and you have violated the rules!” Fan Lin argued. His plump body felt like a wall, preventing Yu Tianyi from acting against Liu Wuxie again.

“Who do you think you are to talk to me about rules? The Battle of the Hundred Nations has ended, and it’s time to pick disciples now!” Yu Tianyi sneered, disregarding Fan Lin. It didn’t matter if others agreed because no one could do anything to him.

Yu Tianyi didn’t even bat an eye at Liu Wuxie, disregarding him from start to finish.

Liu Wuxie clenched his fists with murderous intent surging. After all, Yu Tianyi was unreasonable to intervene when he was about to kill Ye Feng.

“Wuxie, endure it. There will be plenty of opportunities to take revenge in the future!” Fan Lin patted Liu Wuxie’s shoulder to calm him down, forcibly suppressing his murderous intent.

Yu Tianyi was strong and had used his strength to change the rules forcibly.

Only those from the Black Chu Empire sneered. Only they knew that the Black Chu Empire had many disciples joining the Heavenly Origin Sect.

Yu Tianyi had an extraordinary relationship with the Black Chu Empire because the Heavenly Origin Sect had several powerful disciples from the empire.

He could use the fact that he saved Ye Feng to form a good relationship with those disciples from the Black Chu Empire, and there wasn’t any disadvantage in it.

A hundred people were qualified to enter the cultivation world, and they stood out to be picked by the ten major sects.

“Liu Wuxie, join our Demonic Heart Palace!” Xiang Rongjun stepped forward to invite Liu Wuxie.

“Thanks for the offer, but I have already chosen!” Liu Wuxie replied calmly. He was initially hesitating to join the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion but was thankful for Fan Lin’s support. If not for Fan Lin, Yu Tianyi wouldn’t have let him off so easily and may have even embarrassed him.

“The martial techniques you practiced are domineering, not to mention your unique personality. You’re suitable for the Demonic Heart Palace and can even look at our strongest cultivation technique. It will belong to you if you’re willing.” Xiang Rongjun didn’t give up and took out a cultivation technique, trying to tempt Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie smiled bitterly because there were rumors that the Demonic Heart Palace was a demonic sect. But to him, good and evil resided in the hearts of people and sects. Every sect had good and evil, depending on how one comprehended them.

Over the years as an Immortal Emperor, he had seen plenty of righteous sects secretly engaging in countless dirty deeds.

“Take your useless book away. Brother Liu should join our Transcending Plume Gate with his talent!” Xi Jian stepped forward with a smile. If there were no surprise, Ye Feng would join the Heavenly Origin Sect.

Everyone would fight for the champion of each batch, wanting to recruit them.

“Wuxie, the young missy tasked me to give this to you!” Fan Lin chuckled. The other sects tried to invite Liu Wuxie to their sect aside from the Heavenly Origin Sect.

Everyone in the Misty Sect was female, so it was natural that they didn’t invite Liu Wuxie. As for Yu Tianyi, he couldn't invite Liu Wuxie when they had nearly fought earlier.

“Young missy?” Liu Wuxie was baffled as he took the book from Fan Lin. After reading Mu Yueying’s message, he gently closed the book.

“What exactly is Lady Mu’s background, and why would she have you invite me?” Liu Wuxie frowned as he returned the book to Fan Lin. He had already suspected that Mu Yueying’s identity wasn’t simple, but he didn’t expect her to be capable of instructing the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s envoy.

“You’ll know when you arrive at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.” Fan Lin gave a mysterious smile and did not explain.

“Since Lady Mu has done so much, it would be rude for me to refuse.” Liu Wuxie agreed straightforwardly, deciding to join the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. This choice baffled many people because the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion specialized in alchemy. As a result, their martial cultivation was slightly inferior to that of the other sects.

“Wuxie, join our Azure Crimson Gate. We’re also a sect that specializes in alchemy.” Guo Hanfei walked over, still unwilling to give up. Regarding alchemy, the Azure Crimson Gate wasn’t inferior to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

“I’m sorry, but I have already chosen the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!” The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion rivaled the Azure Crimson Gate, and it was clear observing the relationship between Fan Lin and Guo Hanfei.

Liu Wuxie had already decided, leaving others with no choice but to give up. They all showed a hint of pity on their faces because they were hopeful Liu Wuxie could join them.
