174: Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art

Quiet times are always short-lived.

Finally, someone suddenly brought up a matter.

“Does everyone here know about the Prince of the Nine Li Dynasty?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.

Those who could sit here were all contemporary Prodigies, and naturally, they had paid attention to the matter of the Nine Li Dynasty that this person spoke of.

Immediately after, one person stood up; this person was a young man from a Holy Land.

He then spoke loudly,

“The Prince of the Nine Li Dynasty was devoured of his Origin by the Heaven Swallowing Magic Skill’s Legacy holder. When the Imperial Dynasty found him, only his severed limbs remained, reduced to ordinary chunks of flesh. This act can be called Heaven-Defying.”

“However, that Prince of the Nine Li Dynasty was also extraordinary. He possessed the Ancient Imperial Physique and was skilled in various secret techniques. His combat power was extraordinary and refined. To be able to defeat him, it's clear that this Legacy holder is also exceptionally outstanding.”

Everyone naturally understood this point.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have changed their expressions at the mention of it.

One must know that reaching this stage without some kind of Physique is almost impossible.

Everyone feared being targeted by this Demonic Technique inheritor.

So, recently, many people had become extremely low-key.

This grand gathering just happened to coincide with this period.

But there were always some hotheads who spoke with disdain,

“What is this? Just a name frightens you all like this? In the end, he’s nothing more than a hidden, secretive individual.”

“I imagine when he killed the Prince of the Nine Li Dynasty, he probably just took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. If it were a direct battle, he might not have been so powerful.”

“If he truly dares to show himself, what’s wrong with me being the first to slay him?”

Immediately after, someone else spoke,

“Exactly! Emperor ruthless, though her talent was astounding, amazing both ancient and modern times, and the Cultivation Technique she created had its unique aspects, I am not without my own foundations. In a battle with him, who would win or lose is still unknown.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

However, these boastful words made them feel disdain in their hearts.

If it were truly that simple, they naturally wouldn't be so afraid.

But who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong while traveling?

Moreover, the Heaven Swallowing Magic Skill is a Cultivation Technique that can grow.

It continuously devours the Origin of Divine Physiques and Spiritual Physiques, gathering them together.

It can cultivate one's own Physique into an Acquired Chaos Body.

Even an Acquired Chaos Body is enough to crush their Physiques.

At that time, it would be hard to say whose combat power would be more extraordinary and refined.

The Yaoguang Holy Son smiled and said upon hearing this,

“This brother has great spirit, which is indeed impressive. However, the Heaven Swallowing Magic Skill can continuously grow by devouring the Origin of Physiques.”

“So, according to the characteristics of its Cultivation Technique, it must come into contact with a large number of Prodigy Cultivators, and this gathering of ours might have attracted his attention.”

“Perhaps he is hiding among us right now.”

After saying this, the Yaoguang Holy Son had a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his lips.

Everyone was startled upon hearing this. Among them?

For a moment, everyone felt insecure, and many Cultivators looked at each other with uncertain expressions.

“What the Saint said is true. To maximize the effectiveness of his Cultivation Technique, this person would surely mix among a group of special Physiques. It’s possible he’s among us now.”

Someone followed up, saying.

And even continued,

“To come into contact with Prodigy Cultivators like us, mere strength might not be enough. Perhaps this person is also a well-known figure, and he has a significant characteristic: his growth speed is extremely fast, beyond everyone’s imagination.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Wang Hao.

When it came to growth speed, no one present could compare to him.

His growth speed was such that at sixteen or seventeen, he had already reached the point of crushing Divine Children.

At the same time, everyone present came from Holy Lands or top powerful Families, with rich foundations within their Families.

It was normal to cultivate young Prodigies.

But only Wang Hao was a special case and an exception.

Facing such strange gazes, Wang Hao’s expression remained unchanged.

He merely glanced indifferently at the person who had just spoken.

His terrifying Aura did not activate, yet it made that person involuntarily avert his gaze.

Chen Jiaozi, the Saint of Cihang Pure Zhai, seemed to sense that the atmosphere was a bit off.

He quickly stood up and said with a smile,

“Everyone, there’s no need to make wild guesses. Brother Wang and I are good friends; this is absolutely impossible.”

“Heh heh, you and he are in cahoots. How much credibility do your words have?”

Chen Jiaozi’s words had barely fallen when another Prodigy stood up and spoke loudly.

Everyone’s expressions became subtle upon hearing this.

Just at this moment.

Bang!

That person instantly flew backward.

The scene immediately became chaotic.

Wang Hao was seen gently turning his wine cup upside down.

He stood up with a calm expression.

It was he who had just struck, sending that person flying with a single blow.

“Wang Hao! What are you doing?”

Everyone was shocked and angered by this scene, and the Yaoguang Holy Son also narrowed his eyes slightly.

Only Wang Hao spoke indifferently,

“What if the Heaven Swallowing Magic Skill is strong? It’s just a Cultivation Technique.”

“One must know that Emperor Ruthless shook ancient and modern times, but not merely by relying on this Cultivation Technique.”

“Why does Wang Hao need a Cultivation Technique? I can still suppress the current era! An unknown nobody dares to speculate about me.”

As his words fell, an overwhelming, invincible intent suddenly erupted from Wang Hao, pressing down on some weaker Prodigy Cultivators, making them gasp for breath.

The Little Peng King of the Southern Ridge, upon seeing this, suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! Rare, rare indeed! This Eastern Desolate Land is full of incompetent cowards, only you truly catch my eye.”

“Even if a Cultivation Technique is strong, can it be Heaven-Defying? The strong one is always the person, not the technique! These cowards are actually discussing this here.”

Countless people’s expressions changed, and immediately a Divine Child from the Ji Family stood up and spoke coldly,

“That’s no reason for you to strike someone! In my opinion, you have a guilty conscience, and these words are nothing more than an excuse for this Cultivation Technique. It must be related to you.”

Wang Hao glanced at this person indifferently.

Within his pupils, there was a faint intent of opening the heavens, radiating streaks of divine light.

His entire Aura became even more surging.

“A defeated opponent dares to speak of courage? If I truly cultivated it, why would I hide it? Even if the whole world is my enemy, I am invincible. I will fight until Major Achievement, unrivaled in my Dao. Winner takes all; if I win, I devour; if I lose, I die. Why would I need to hide?”

“And you, merely a defeated opponent, can only communicate with me through such low-level means. How laughable, how laughable.”

“If you only have such a mindset, even if I give you time to catch up, I fear you still won’t be able to see my back.”

As these words were spoken, everyone implicitly couldn’t raise their heads.

The face of the Divine Child who had spoken turned an alternating shade of green and red.

Regardless of whether Wang Hao’s words were right or wrong, the fact remained that he had lost to Wang Hao.

Winner takes all; whoever has the bigger fist gets to speak more.

Even if he desperately wanted to challenge him at this moment, he knew it would only be an act of self-humiliation.

Quietly, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
