Chapter 55 Devouring the Heavens



Chapter 55 Devouring the Heavens

Yao Guang stood frozen in place, as if struck by a chaotic divine lightning bolt. His whole body trembled with fear. Above him stood the magnificent black and gold cauldron with its myriad dragon patterns, surrounded by one black dragon after another. He staggered back a few steps.

Yuan Qingsu's words echoed in his ears again and again.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art, the true meaning of the lineage passed down by the Ruthless Great Emperor—these crazy pronouncements assaulted Yao Guang's mind, causing his face to turn red and white in turns.

Since his birth beside the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, an ultimate weapon, he was chosen by the lineage of the Ruthless Great Emperor and taught demonic and celestial arts. Yao Guang himself also had great ambitions and constantly studied these two profound arts.

With his talent and good fortune, he did acquire other ancient scriptures, but none of these inheritances could compare to the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art.

The Ruthless Great Emperor possessed unparalleled talent throughout the ages. Rising from a mere mortal body, he swept across all kings and achieved enlightenment by massacring a golden age. In Yao Guang's eyes, he was the greatest of all time. Therefore, no matter what kind of "method" or "technique" he obtained, he truly focused on cultivating these two profound arts, with the Undying Heavenly Art being his primary focus.

Over the past decade or so, Yao Guang has been analyzing the various aspects of this profound skill, initially nurturing a divine embryo and cultivating two extraordinary demonic bodies to avoid the drawbacks of practicing the skill.

Who would have thought that this superficial behavior would be the most fatal flaw, ignoring the true "realm of Tao" that this tradition is meant to express!

Whether it's the Devouring Heaven Demon Art that devours all kings or the Undying Heaven Art that severs the past and transforms into a divine embryo, their true essence lies in going against the heavens, using obsession to trample fate underfoot, forging ahead without hesitation, breaking through reincarnation to prove immortality!

If we're not even afraid of the heavens, what do we have to fear about being enemies with the whole world?

Yao Guang aspired to become a "Great Emperor" from a young age. He wanted to use these two profound arts to protect his path, transform into a Chaotic Body, and then rely on the characteristic of directly proving the Dao by mastering the Chaotic Body to achieve his goal. However, he never expected that it was his painstaking pursuit of "physique" that led him down a path of no return.

The only path to becoming a great emperor is always forged through battle.

There are no invincible methods, only invincible people!

"You say I haven't grasped the true meaning of the Great Emperor's inheritance, but have you? Do you dare to unleash the Devouring Heaven Demon Art in front of everyone?" Yao Guang said through gritted teeth. This was the first time he felt that he might really be inferior to this "fish," and the other party was almost no longer the person he remembered.

This sense of disappointment and frustration was hard for him to accept.

"Devouring Heaven Demon Art? Very well, today I will let you witness my 'Devouring Heaven Demon Art'!" Yuan Qingsu shouted lightly, and the Sun God Furnace, with one immortal phoenix after another swirling around its head, flew up and burned the sky, colliding with the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron that flew up from Yao Guang's head at the same time.

boom!

The sound of metal clashing echoed for miles, interspersed with high-pitched dragon roars and phoenix cries, yet no power fluctuations were emitted. The two Great Emperor's Sacred Weapons stood atop the two figures, restraining each other while firmly pinning down this void.

In this way, both sides will be completely free from external factors and truly engage in a war.

"kill!"

A furnace, seemingly real yet illusory, its entire body pitch black and deep, yet covered with cracks of lava color, was brought to life by Yuan Qingsu with holy light. It enveloped the boy's head, floating and sinking. On the furnace wall, a "heart" pattern had been lit up, flowing with scarlet and blazing light to outline intricate and profound Dao patterns.

Corresponding to the heart, the other four organs—lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen—are still relatively indistinct, having not been nourished by the Supreme Blood, and thus have their corresponding innate patterns gathered together on them.

Even so, this furnace was incredibly terrifying. The dark, gaping opening seemed to contain a primordial universe, where the power of the five elements flowed, endlessly cycling through life and death, devouring everything, assimilating everything, and also disintegrating everything.

The clear light fell from the heaven-devouring furnace, like the order of "Tao" and "Li" intertwined, wisps of it coiling around Yuan Qingsu's body. It was so similar to the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, yet completely different!

Under his control, the Devouring Heaven Hell Furnace flew horizontally and crashed down on Yao Guang.

At the same time, Yao Guang also made his move. One after another, extremely brilliant divine lights were aimed at the furnace and rose up against the heavens like heavenly swords. The Hunyuan Holy Light Technique was innovated in his hands and its power reached an unbelievable level. What was even more terrifying was the "chaotic energy" contained in each of those heavenly swords!

This is the original essence of the "divine embryo," and even if it is flawed, it can still transform chaos into all laws!

This is a strike that will annihilate all the geniuses of the ages!

Yao Guang attacked with hatred in his heart, and his full strength was indeed terrifying. If it weren't for the imperial weapons above their heads sealing everything off, the chaotic fluctuations spreading out at this moment would have alarmed everyone. This power was too strong.

boom!

As the sword clashed with the furnace, the chaotic sword energy of the Divine Embryo struck the Devouring Heaven Hell Furnace with resounding clangs. Each strike was like a god forging iron, yet it could never truly cleave the furnace. Instead, the furnace absorbed the sword energy from all directions, and Yao Guang could clearly feel that his own Divine Embryo's original chaotic essence... was being devoured!

"You...this isn't the Devouring Heaven Demon Art!"

As Yao Guang was relentlessly devoured, his face contorted with rage, like a wounded wild beast. He glared fiercely at Yuan Qingsu and gritted his teeth, saying, "If you're so capable, then use the true inheritance of an emperor!"

"Fool, can't you feel the 'True Meaning of Devouring Heaven'? The Great Emperor has devoured all kinds of physiques and smelted all kinds of techniques along the way, forging a Great Dao Treasure Bottle. I, on the other hand, devour the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, using it as nourishment to further transform and forge my own path."

"This is the true 'devouring the heavens,' the true inheritance, 'devouring' predecessors, transforming on their foundations, and constantly moving towards higher levels, rather than being locked onto a fixed trajectory."

"Emperors are not to be followed blindly, and the Way of Heaven is not to be feared!"

Yuan Qingsu said in a cold voice, each word as heavy as a thousand pounds, slamming into Yao Guang's heart, making him pale and swaying, his Dao heart completely in chaos. At the same time, the Devouring Heaven Hell Furnace covering his head seized the opportunity, the furnace mouth lowering inch by inch, about to devour Yao Guang and the divine embryo in his body alive!

"Hehe...haha..."

Gazing at the terrifying furnace so close at hand, Yao Guang, his hair disheveled, frantically channeled chaotic sword energy, his face contorted with madness. He roared with laughter, "Yuan Qingsu, you're right! Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die! I was blinded by a leaf, wasting over a decade of my life. I am no match for you. I have lost this battle... but you will die with me!"

Rumble!

The surging aura of calamity gathered beside the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron and the Sun God Furnace, coalescing into a thick, mountain-like black cloud. Bolts of lightning, like luminous dragons, roared and weaved through it, creating a terrifying atmosphere that sent chills down one's spine.

Yao Guang refined a portion of the powerful essence of the second level of the Sendai realm and also swallowed Jiang Yifei. Even if he hadn't had time to digest it, he would have already broken through.

He has been suppressing his emotions, and now he has chosen this moment to undergo his tribulation!

Bring along two ultimate weapons!

Looking up at the raging thunder and clouds, Yuan Qingsu wasn't too nervous. A slight smile played on her lips as she sighed silently, "'Heavenly Tribulation' is indeed a good way to kill enemies, but unfortunately, I am 'Devouring Heaven'."
