214: Top-tier Dao: Devouring Dao

There, the power of the Dao condensed into a towering, ferociously roaring ancient Vicious Beast phantom—the Taotie!

Its maw opened wide, as if connected to the Universe Return to Ruin, and its body was coiled with materialized chains of Devouring dao patterns, exuding a terrifying aura capable of devouring all Daos and refining stars!

This was precisely the manifestation of the Sea of Laws for the top-tier Great Dao of "Devouring"!

"Devouring Dao Return to Ruin!" Lin Yuan shouted lowly, his hands rapidly forming seals before his chest!

The power of the Devouring Dao Seed was thoroughly triggered, mixed with the supreme might of the Chaos Great Dao true intent he had initially comprehended, transforming into a pitch-black vortex a thousand zhang in diameter, slowly rotating!

The core of the vortex was as deep as the Origin point of all things' end, with runes of Chaos Return to Ruin flowing along its edges.

The moment this vortex appeared, the entire Sea of Laws trembled!

Its terrifying suction power far exceeded that of the Taotie phantom!

The Taotie phantom let out a roar of shock and anger, attempting to resist, but the power of the Great Dao of Devouring that composed its body was uncontrollably pulled and stripped away, turning into a surging torrent that was frantically devoured by the pitch-black vortex!

"Roar—!!!" The Taotie phantom struggled and roared, its eight chains of Devouring dao patterns lashing out wildly at the Void Realm, whipping up angry waves of the Sea of Laws to slam into Lin Yuan!

Each strike contained terrifying might sufficient to devour a powerhouse of the Hunyuan Realm!

"Insignificant tricks! Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel, Return!" Lin Yuan's eyes were cold, his thoughts shifting.

The massive Devouring vortex before him changed its form slightly, instantly transforming into the gray mouth of return to ruin of the Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel!

The raging waves of Devouring that the Taotie slammed over collided with the reversal vortex, but instead of causing any ripples, they were instantly devoured, decomposed, and converted.

After being doubled in amplification, they transformed into two even thicker, deeper-colored torrents of destructive Devouring, which slammed back onto the Taotie phantom's massive body at an even faster speed!

Chi chi chi—!

The Taotie phantom's body shook violently from its own power, its light dimming rapidly, and the Origin of Laws that composed its body was frantically stripped away and dissolved!

For the first time, fear appeared in its eyes!

Seizing the moment when the Taotie phantom was wounded, withered, and lost its mental guard, Lin Yuan silently slashed out with his Origin Wisdom Sword, which instantly plunged into the core of the Taotie phantom's brow!

"Awoo—!!!" The Taotie phantom let out a mournful cry that reached the depths of the Soul, its massive body suddenly stiffening and twisting!

The purest Origin of Devouring Law and Great Dao true intent that constituted its existence were frantically extracted and stripped away, continuously pouring back into the Devouring Dao Seed within Lin Yuan's Dantian Qi Sea!

The Devouring Dao Seed expanded rapidly as if it were a balloon being inflated, the dao patterns on its surface complex and profound to the extreme, emitting an aura of return to ruin that caused the Soul to sink!

When the last trace of the Taotie phantom's Origin was completely drained, the phantom wailed and dissipated into dots of light filling the sky.

Hum—!!!

The Devouring Dao Seed suddenly erupted with an ultimate darkness that swallowed all light!

It was no longer in the form of a seed, but collapsed and transformed, ultimately becoming a slowly rotating micro black hole vortex that seemed capable of devouring the heavens and myriad worlds!

A terrifying dao rhyme of Perfection, domineering, and surpassing the forefront of the top hundred Great Daos, descended with a boom, merging into Lin Yuan's limbs, bones, and Soul Origin!

[Great Dao of Devouring comprehension level: 10%! combat power bonus: 100 million Yu!]

The top-tier Great Dao of Devouring was finally completed!

Because he had devoured the Taotie phantom, Lin Yuan's comprehension of the Great Dao of Devouring directly reached 10%.

The Devouring black hole hovered within Lin Yuan's body, echoing from afar with the Chaos Fearless Dao Heart and the phantom image of the chaos green lotus in his Sea of Consciousness, rotating slowly on its own, constantly absorbing free energy and Great Dao fragments from the Void Realm to nourish himself.

With the Great Dao of Devouring initially completed, Lin Yuan did not stop.

His gaze was like lightning as he instantly locked onto another vast Origin in the Sea of Laws that was closely connected to his Soul—it was a River of Souls formed by the convergence of countless Soul screams, Heart Demon whispers, and radiance of will!

The river surged, and at its core, countless twisted Heart Demon projections floated and roared, exuding a bizarre aura that eroded all living things and toyed with the will.

"Soul Great Dao... the ultimate evolution of the Wisdom Sword of will!" Lin Yuan's thoughts sank into his Sea of Consciousness, where the Soul Wisdom Sword, flowing with cyan jade luster, emitted a clear, yearning hum.

He took a step forward, actively charging into the region where the Soul Law was most violent!

Boom!

Billions of Heart Demon projections, like piranhas that had smelled blood, instantly erupted from the River of Souls!

They took on various forms—some ferocious and terrifying, some enchanting and seductive, or transformed into the likeness of his closest loved ones—carrying the most malicious curses, the sweetest temptations, and the deepest, most desperate whispers.

Like a swarm of locusts blotting out the sky, they rushed frantically toward Lin Yuan!

This was an attack directed straight at the Soul Origin, ignoring Physical Body defenses; any trace of hesitation or fear would be infinitely magnified until the Soul sank into depravity!

"Heart Demon? Mere illusion! My Dao Heart is fearless; the Wisdom Sword shall cut it down!"

The Chaos Fearless Dao Heart light in Lin Yuan's eyes exploded, like the first ray of light at the creation of the world, piercing through layers of demonic shadows!

He completely ignored those illusions and whispers that bewitched the mind, and the Chaos vertical mark on his brow suddenly split open!

"Sever Dao! Break Illusion! Exterminate Heart Demons! Heart Sword Without Limits!"

Zing—!!!!!!

A sword light, impossible to describe in color, burst forth from between Lin Yuan's brows!

It was not a bombardment of energy, but the manifestation of highly condensed pure will and Soul!

It was the ultimate sword, fusing the Chaos Fearless Dao Heart, the main body of the Soul Wisdom Sword, and the initially mastered true intent of the Soul Law!

Wherever the sword light passed, it was silent.

Time seemed to freeze.

Space lost its meaning.

The billions of Heart Demon projections rushing toward him, whether ferocious, seductive, or despairing, all froze in their movements the moment they were brushed by the sword light!

On their twisted faces, shock and bewilderment had just appeared when their entire illusory bodies, like ice thrown into a raging fire, silently dissolved and annihilated!

Not even a trace of residue or a wisp of resentment was left behind!

One sword!

Sweeping away billions of Heart Demons!

The River of Souls even experienced a momentary break in its flow!

On the trajectory where the sword light had passed, the surging river water left behind a pure, incomparable "sword mark" passage that could not heal for a long time!

Within the passage, there were no more chaotic demonic thoughts, only the purest, most original Soul Great Dao power flowing quietly!

"River of Souls... true intent... return to position!"

Lin Yuan had a sudden flash of insight.

The Soul Wisdom Sword emitted a clear, extremely joyful hum, transformed into a stream of light, and actively shot into the pure Soul passage he had carved out with his sword light!

Boom!

The Wisdom Sword entered the river like a Dragon returning to the sea!

The sword body greedily absorbed the most original Soul Law energy!

The sword body itself began to undergo a profound transformation, becoming more solid, gradually turning into a three-foot-long sword phantom, its entire body flowing with warm Soul radiance, and within the sword body, it seemed as if billions of stars of Soul light were being born and dying!

A supreme dao rhyme of Perfection, purity, insight into the true spirits of all things, and dominion over the Soul Origin permeated from the sword body, feeding back into Lin Yuan's entire Soul!
