798: Chapter 799 Devouring the Great Dao

"Thud!"

Ao Zhan crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The golden light around his body was dim, and more than half of his dragon scales were shattered. His once majestic and sacred True Dragon body now looked incredibly wretched.

He struggled to stand up, but this agitated his backward-flowing blood and Qi, causing him to cough up another mouthful of golden dragon blood, dyeing the ground beneath him red.

He lifted his head. For the first time, his brilliant dragon eyes had lost their pride and arrogance, leaving only an unbelievable emptiness and deep frustration.

Defeated.

The grand True Dragon Crown Prince, a Peak Late Stage Immortal Sovereign, Ao Zhan, who possessed the ancient True Dragon Bloodline.

Had actually been utterly crushed and completely defeated head-on by a Human Race Cultivator using nothing but pure Physical Body power!

"Cough... cough, cough..."

Ao Zhan struggled to get up, but slumped back down powerlessly.

He raised his head and looked at Xiao Ruobai on the platform, his voice hoarse, carrying an unprecedented solemnity and bitterness:

"Battle Asura... What a Battle Asura..."

"The victor is Battle Asura. The rankings have updated: Battle Asura is now ranked first, and Ao Zhan has shifted down to second."

An ancient Dao voice rang out at the right moment, announcing the result.

On the golden light ranking list, the name at the top instantly changed from Ao Zhan to Battle Asura, shining with a brilliant, dazzling golden light.

Meanwhile, Ao Zhan's name dimmed slightly and moved down to the second spot.

The rankings of Gu Shitian, Sword White Robe, and the others also shifted down by one spot in turn.

Outside the light barrier of the Dao Discussion Platform, all the Prodigies were dead silent, even forgetting to breathe.

Looking at the blood-colored figure still standing tall on the platform with his Battle Intent not dissipating in the slightest, they felt a chill rush from their spines straight to their skulls.

The dark-golden Battle Intent around Xiao Ruobai slowly receded, and the War God Phantom behind him, which looked down disdainfully upon eternity, also gradually faded away.

Yet his tall and straight posture, his calm face, and his eyes that still burned with unyielding flames were, at this moment, more awe-inspiring than any Divine Ability or anomaly.

"The top spot has changed hands."

No one knew who it was that murmured in a trembling voice.

These words were like a clap of thunder, instantly exploding in everyone's hearts.

Ao Zhan, the man who had occupied the top of the heavenly pride list for so long, was actually dragged down from his altar today!

"To think that even a forbidden technique like the True Dragon Sky-Battling Art couldn't withstand a single punch from this man?"

Someone's lips trembled, their voice completely cracked, unable to accept this absurd yet real scene before their eyes.

"Am I dreaming? The True Dragon at the top of the list, a Late Stage Immortal Sovereign, actually lost to Battle Asura, who is only an Early Stage Immortal Sovereign?!"

"What kind of fist technique was that? What kind of Battle Intent was that?! It's as if an ancient War God has been resurrected!"

Everyone was deeply shocked by this result.

Everyone knew clearly that the punch just now was by no means a mere accumulation of brute force; it was the pinnacle of battle that stood above their generation and crushed all Daos.

Those top Prodigies who originally still harbored some thoughts of competing for the top spot now had them completely wiped away.

To be able to defeat a fully unleashed Ao Zhan head-on, this strength was already firmly above theirs.

"Li Xuanfeng, Sword White Robe, and Battle Asura are actually all so terrifying. Could Azure Rakshasa also..."

At this moment, a quiet voice sounded, and in an instant, the gazes of all the Prodigies present suddenly swept in unison toward the right Dao Discussion Platform!

On the platform, Gu Shitian witnessed Ao Zhan's miserable defeat, and his pupils contracted violently.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Ling Xi opposite him, who was still dressed in snow-white clothes. The rage that had risen from being suppressed was actually forcibly held down at this moment, transforming into an extreme wariness and solemnity.

Ling Xi's gaze calmly swept over the other arena where the dust had already settled. She saw Xiao Ruobai standing with his fists retracted, and she also saw Ao Zhan struggling to get up with a withered aura.

Her eyes remained calm and rippleless, as if all of this was within her expectations.

"It's about time."

Her lips parted slightly as she uttered three cold words. Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Gu Shitian's ears.

Gu Shitian's heart suddenly sank, and an extremely ominous premonition abruptly seized his mind.

"It's about time? What does she mean?"

Just as the bad premonition arose, he saw Ling Xi slowly raise her right hand, which had been hanging at her side.

She extended her index finger and tapped the air.

"Weng—!!!"

Centered around her, the space of the entire right Dao Discussion Platform let out an overburdened, low groan that vibrated to the depths of the Soul!

The Dao rhyme around her, which had been flowing like mist and constantly devouring and neutralizing attacks, suddenly collapsed inward to the extreme!

As if the Universe was returning to the void and ten thousand rivers were flowing back to the sea, all the pervading power and immortal spiritual Qi were forcibly gathered and compressed, condensing at the tip of her slender jade finger.

That was no ordinary condensation of immortal essence.

That was her own pure and vast immortal essence, combined with all the Glazed Divine Power she had silently devoured, refined, and stored from Gu Shitian's tempestuous Divine Power attacks throughout the previous battle!

Under the modulation of her profound and peerless devouring Dao rhyme, these two forces of vastly different natures but equally majestic power underwent an indescribable qualitative change and Fusion.

A point of extreme darkness condensed at her fingertip.

It was as tiny as a mustard seed, yet so heavy that all the Prodigies who witnessed it felt a throbbing pain in their Divine Souls, as if they were being torn apart and sucked in!

Every hair on Gu Shitian's body stood on end at this moment; this was an unprecedented crisis.

His pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks, the Glazed Divine Blood in his body boiled frantically, and the ancient protective divine runes automatically activated at all costs, forming layers of brilliant and thick Glazed Divine Armor on the surface of his body.

"No—!! Glazed Eternal Wall!!"

He roared hoarsely, forming hand seals to pour his lifelong cultivation and Bloodline Divine Power unreservedly into his defense, trying to build the strongest barrier.

But it was too late.

Ling Xi gently pushed her fingertip forward, and that wisp of deep, dark light suddenly shot through the air, silently crossing the spatial barrier.

The layers upon layers of Glazed Divine Shields and armor, which were enough to withstand the attacks of a Peak Immortal Sovereign, were completely useless in the face of this single finger and were directly and easily pierced through.

The dark light encountered no resistance and landed squarely on Gu Shitian's body.

Weng—!

There was no earth-shattering roar, only an extreme devouring and annihilating force that instantly swept through Gu Shitian's entire body.

The Glazed Divine Glow around his body dimmed and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The ancient divine runes on his body's surface shattered completely, and the vast Divine Power within him was forcibly extracted, devoured, and melted away.

Golden divine blood sprayed out uncontrollably. Gu Shitian's body trembled violently, his bones making overburdened cracking sounds, and his entire being was sent flying backward as if struck by a blow of ten thousand tons!

Bang!

He crashed heavily onto the edge of the Dao Discussion Platform, his body slumping limply to the ground. His aura was chaotic to the extreme, his Glazed Divine Body was covered in cracks, and his golden divine blood soaked his robes, leaving him in an incredibly wretched state.

He struggled to get up, but did not even have the strength to raise his hand. The trace of residual dark power within him continued to corrode his immortal essence and dao foundation.

Gu Shitian raised his head. The way he looked at Ling Xi had completely lost all of its pride and contempt, leaving only extreme shock, disbelief, and a trace of fear that was hard to conceal.

The Glazed Divine Body, supreme Divine Power, and Ancient God Clan Bloodline that he was so proud of were actually so weak and defenseless in the face of her Devouring Great Dao.

Not only were his attacks completely neutralized, but even his own power was devoured and refined, turning back into a sharp blade to defeat him!

"Your Devouring Great Dao is actually terrifying to such an extent..."

His voice was hoarse and trembling, carrying endless unwillingness and bitterness.
