157: Chapter 157 The Overpowered Great Devouring Technique

"An overreaching fellow!" a Fire Sparrow Clan quasi-emperor snorted coldly.

"The Goddess is about to enter the Nirvana Sea." Beside them, a Saint of the Ji Clan narrowed his eyes, looking at the quasi-emperor with a face full of worry.

Ji Xiaoqiao.

"This fellow…" Ji Xiaoqiao, the Seven-Tribulation quasi-emperor of the Ji Clan, frowned as she looked at Jiang Ruoxi beside Xie Wushang.

She wanted to speak, but still pursed her lips.

"Since this child can grow to this point, he must not be a reckless person," Ji Xiaoqiao inwardly mused.

Yet her brows still knitted together, her nerves taut, and she felt a trace of worry in her heart.

After all, this Nirvana Sea was a place that even she dreaded and dared not easily set foot in!

Could this junior… handle it?

Under numerous gazes, the flame long bridge beneath Xie Wushang's feet had already extended to the eight-thousand-meter region of the sea of fire.

In the sea of fire, raging flames rolled, slapping towards him like waves of fire. Furthermore, Phoenix fire condensed within them, transforming into a Phoenix.

A cry rang out, and the Phoenix flapped its wings, lunging directly to kill. The aura it emitted reached the quasi-Emperor Realm.

Violent winds also whipped up, forming three flame tornadoes that swept toward the long bridge where Xie Wushang was located.

As the flames swept past, the void distorted and was burned into a vacuum, causing the flame long bridge beneath Xie Wushang's feet to begin melting.

"The Restrictions of the Nirvana Sea have been triggered!"

"These Restrictions grow stronger the stronger the opponent is… Even quasi-emperor weapons are of no use!"

"This time, the Divine Son of Jiang is likely going to meet his doom."

Seeing this, the Cultivators of various clans on the nearby Enlightenment Platform widened their eyes and looked at Xie Wushang.

"Hmph, it's one thing to brave the sea alone, but to actually dare bring two children along—it is simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

The Fire Sparrow Clan's quasi-emperor sneered, just waiting for Xie Wushang to be buried in the Nirvana Sea.

The people of the Ji Clan, Tushan Clan, and Ice Phoenix Clan wore expressions of worry.

The Saint of the Jiang Clan also broke out in a sweat.

However, as the flames swept over, Xie Wushang's expression remained calm as he stepped onto the long bridge and moved forward.

Even though the long bridge beneath his feet was burned to nothingness, he remained unmoved, stepping out and strolling above the sea of fire.

He let that fire Phoenix, whose unfolded wings spanned ten thousand meters, pounce over.

He let those three flame tornadoes sweep in.

He let the monstrous waves of flames roll down angrily.

"He… actually isn't defending?" Seeing this, the Cultivators of various clans all drew in a breath of cold air, their faces filled with shock.

They had thought about this many times in their minds just now.

The Divine Son of Jiang would sacrifice a quasi-emperor weapon to defend.

In that case, even the quasi-emperor weapon would be burned to ashes, and caught off guard, he would surely suffer heavy injuries, implicating the two children.

Some even prayed, hoping that the Divine Son of Jiang would sacrifice an emperor weapon to defend.

If that were the case, this Restriction would evolve into a Great Emperor-level attack, and as a result, the Divine Son of Jiang would most likely perish here.

This was obviously the outcome that the Golden-Winged Roc Clan, Tuoba Clan, and other immortal imperial clans cultivating the Fire Dao were willing to see.

As long as the Jiang Clan declined.

On the future Emperor's Road, there would be one less person competing with them for the Great Dao Fruit Position of the fire lineage.

Precisely because of the competition for the Great Dao Fruit Position, the Golden Crow Clan had formed a feud with the Jiang Clan in ancient times.

The Wang Clan also wanted to replace them.

Even the Tianyang Holy Land was restless, fantasizing about destroying the Jiang Clan.

Who would have thought that Xie Wushang actually did not defend, letting those Restriction attacks assail him.

"This fellow…" Seeing this, Li Shuangyan couldn't help but tense her nerves, unable to understand why Xie Wushang was not defending.

Tushan Dieyi's beautiful eyes blinked as she held her breath and looked at the sea of fire ahead. The alluring charm between her brows was restrained, replaced entirely by worry.

Hum!

Just as everyone had various thoughts, Xie Wushang took another step forward, and the tornado in front of him was already three zhang away from him.

Flames roared, rolling over like a torrent of fire, burning the void into distortion.

Viewed from afar, the three of them had already been engulfed by the flames.

However, at this moment, ripples stirred before Xie Wushang, and a burst of fire bloomed, as if an abyss had appeared.

Looking closely, it was as if Xie Wushang was situated right within the abyss.

That fire bloomed and continuously extended, the abyss seeming to transform into a realm.

He was right within that realm, and the torrents of fire sweeping in from ahead were entirely swallowed into the abyss before him.

"That is…" Instantly, countless Cultivators widened their eyes, sensing toward the sea of fire ahead.

Countless people looked at the huge abyss evolved before Xie Wushang.

The abyss was like a whirlpool, constantly churning as if it wanted to devour all living things.

Before Xie Wushang, the flame tornado was originally a hundred zhang wide and a thousand zhang tall.

In merely two breaths, the tornado shrank by a third, and countless forces of flames were swallowed into that whirlpool.

While everyone was astonished, Xie Wushang took another step.

With this step, ripples stirred in the void, and the area of a thousand meters around him transformed into a massive whirlpool.

All the surrounding flame Qi was sucked into it. He was like an abyss, devouring endless flame Qi.

In a mere two breaths, the three sweeping tornadoes were devoured.

That huge fire Phoenix swooping down hadn't even touched a hundred meters in front of Xie Wushang when the flames on its body turned into a long river and were swept into the whirlpool. Immediately afterward, everyone saw the Phoenix disappear ten zhang above his head.

The sweeping waves of fire all turned into torrents of fire, being guided into the whirlpool before him.

Xie Wushang continued walking forward, and another flame long bridge extended out from beneath his feet.

Bringing Jiang Nianyang and Jiang Ruoxi with him, he strolled leisurely as if walking in a courtyard, continuously walking toward the central region of the sea of fire.

"That Restriction attack was resolved just like that?"

"This… What kind of Divine Ability is this?" Seeing this, the Cultivators of various clans widened their eyes.

Even the quasi-emperors' gazes flashed, revealing expressions of disbelief.

"This… seems to be our clan's 'Great Devouring Technique'…" A Great Saint of an immortal imperial clan narrowed his eyes and said.

These were clansmen from the immortal Celestial Emperor Family, the Shen Clan.

"It is indeed the 'Great Devouring Technique'…" Shen Peixian, the quasi-emperor of the Shen Clan, said.

"It really is our clan's 'Great Devouring Technique'?" Hearing this, the nearby Shen Clan Saints all wore stern expressions.

"How does the Divine Son of Jiang know our clan's Emperor art?" Several people looked at each other, their faces full of solemnity.

"However, this junior's 'Great Devouring Technique' seems even more domineering," Shen Peixian said.

"Even more domineering?" several Shen Clan Saints said.

"My Shen Clan's Great Devouring Technique can indeed devour all techniques… But after all, it is limited and cannot be as effortless as him."

Shen Peixian said.

"Indeed, this Divine Son of Jiang has devoured several quasi-emperor-level Restriction techniques… yet he remains as leisurely as strolling in a courtyard, playing with the mortal world."

Another quasi-emperor of the Shen Clan, Shen Yao, said.

"If it were me… I would definitely need to rest and recuperate, carefully refining the devoured magic power… Otherwise, I would surely explode and die."

Hearing this, the other Great Saints nodded.

They too would not dare to act in such a manner.

Yet the Divine Son of Jiang right now was continuously moving forward.

In the sea of fire, another Restriction was triggered.

A sweep of flames transformed into a giant kun, opening its mouth as if to devour Xie Wushang.

But Xie Wushang stepped forward, and ripples merely stirred around him as the void depressed, swallowing that giant kun into the abyss.

Flaming spears also emerged from the air, piercing towards Xie Wushang, but they were still easily swallowed into the abyss by him using the Great Devouring Technique.

Various Restriction offensives came endlessly, yet they could not approach Xie Wushang by even half a step.

Such a scene made the Cultivators of various clans watch with palpitating hearts and faces full of dread.
