Chapter 431 The Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Earth - Devouring Heaven

"Look! The Sages are fighting someone!!!"

When the two Sages arrived, the commotion they caused had already captured the attention of every Cultivator in the Wuyun Ridge region.

It wasn't just in Yunqi City; Cultivators from other places, whether living in seclusion or gathered together, all turned their gazes here.

"That is... that seems to be Kang Zhe from the City Lord's mansion earlier!"

"What? Is it Senior Kang Zhe? Didn't he kill the Five Friends of Yunling? Why would he draw the ire of the Sages from the Ziyun Sect and the Tianxing Sect?"

"City Lord Yu, what is going on?"

City Lord Yu Chongyue had intended to pay respects to the Sect Sages, but because of the battle, he could not get close and could only watch from afar.

Others gathered around him, but City Lord Yu Chongyue remained silent.

"Fellow Daoist Kang Zhe's strength is too terrifying. He was actually able to dodge a Sage's attack!"

Those watching the battle saw Yan Chu's performance from afar and were all amazed.

The two Sages had descended with a terrifying Aura that suppressed everything. Even from such a distance, it made them feel boundless pressure, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Yet, Yan Chu was actually able to dodge an attack from the two Sages. What kind of strength was this?

They had already attached enough importance to the opponent, but now it seemed that it was still not enough.

"Just wait! Below the Sage level, no one can survive!"

The Liu family's Old Ancestor, Liu Jiupo, suddenly revealed a gruesome smile and spoke gloomily.

[host: Yan Chu]

[Realm: Divine Ability Realm Late Stage]

[Cultivation Technique: Supreme Daluo Heaven (Fourth Level 21/50)]

[Martial Skill: Seven Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying (Perfection), Tathagata Palm (Perfection)]

[Divine Ability: Tear, Pure Yang Fire, Heaven-Swallowing, Earth-Destroying...]

[Origin: 22.5]

"Upgrade Supreme Daluo Heaven!!"

At this moment, without the slightest hesitation, Yan Chu consumed all his Origin.

He admitted that he had underestimated the Sages.

He hadn't expected that after cultivating Law and breaking through to the Sage Realm, there would be such a huge gap compared to Divine Ability.

No wonder everyone he met had an expression of immense awe whenever the word 'Sage' was mentioned.

Boom!!

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Chu's three Divine Treasuries shone in unison. The Qi Sea was turbulent, and his entire Aura soared upwards by a large margin, the barrier belonging to the Divine Ability Late Stage shattering with a bang.

Vast essence Qi surged out from his limbs and bones.

His muscles and bones emitted thunderous explosions, and every inch of his flesh and blood was being tempered and sublimated.

Divine light surged around his body, and the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth poured in frantically, turning into visible streams of light that wrapped around his body as his essence, Qi, and spirit climbed step by step.

A pressure as vast as a mountain and as deep as an abyss spread in all directions.

He was completely reborn, his Aura several times stronger than it was a moment ago.

[Realm: Divine Ability Realm Peak]

[Cultivation Technique: Supreme Daluo Heaven (Fourth Level 43.5/50)]

At this moment, although he was in the midst of fleeing, a feeling of immense power welled up. Treasures light flowed between his skin and muscles, his mind became incomparably clear, and various insights surged in his mind.

Yan Chu opened his mouth and inhaled, and endless Spiritual light poured in from heaven and earth.

He let go and threw out, breaking the Storage Pouch he had seized after killing Ji Hanshi and the others. The Origin Stones inside all shattered, turning into countless Spiritual lights that were absorbed by every pore on his body.

Yan Chu had seen Storage Pouches when he was in the Lower Realm; there were some in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave.

However, after opening the Divine Treasuries in martial cultivation, the Divine Treasuries themselves had the ability to hold space like a mustard seed. Many treasures could be stored directly in the Spirit Sea or Sea of Consciousness, so few people used Storage Pouches.

But Origin Stones were different. Once stored in the Spirit Sea, they would be directly crushed by the pressure of the Divine Treasuries, and the Origin Qi would dissipate on its own.

Therefore, in the Yuanqing Holy Realm, everyone had a Storage Pouch.

It was used to store Origin Stones and other items. As for other Divine weapons and Sharp Weapons, they could be placed directly in the Spirit Sea to be cleansed and nourished by the Spirit Sea day and night, and their power would grow over time.

That said, the Spiritual light gathering around Yan Chu caused the two Sages to let out a soft exclamation.

"Heh, daring to forcibly break through your Realm in front of this seat, junior, you really don't know how to write the word 'death'!"

Dong Ting let out a cold snort, his tone filled with killing intent.

Swish!

Clouds and mist surged violently around him, gathering upwards, higher and higher, denser and denser, turning into a boundless sea of clouds that covered the sky.

"Cloud Thunder Splits the Sky!"

Dong Ting's ethereal voice echoed within the sea of clouds. Seemingly drawn by his killing intent, the sea of clouds churned, and in an instant, black clouds descended, filled with lightning that wove into a dense electric net, smashing down with a rumble.

The scene was terrifying. Within tens of thousands of miles, the entire Wuyun Ridge region could see it clearly.

Above, the starlight was blocked by the thunderclouds, and the Sage from the Tianxing Sect did not continue to strike.

Two Sages dealing with one junior, they still needed to join forces.

If it got out, it would undoubtedly make people laugh.

The Ziyun Sect cultivated the Law of the Cloud, and derived from clouds were Cloud Wind, Cloud Rain, Cloud Illusion, Cloud Thunder, and so on...

Dong Ting walked the path of Cloud Thunder.

At this moment, dark clouds rolled and gathered, and the Laws of heaven and earth were drawn by the thunderclouds, bringing down destructive divine lightning, as if even the sky was about to split open.

"It's over! Kang Zhe is dead for sure!!"

"Sigh! A Sage cannot be defeated! Even if you are a brilliant top-tier Prodigy!"

Some sighed, feeling sorry for the fall of a Prodigy.

"Serves him right! Daring to provoke a Sage! If you don't die, who will?"

Others gloated, feeling an inexplicable dislike for Yan Chu.

"Look! Kang Zhe seems to be fighting back!"

Suddenly, someone saw from afar that Yan Chu had retrieved a large saber that was amber in color throughout, the hilt shaped like a tiger's mouth, and the blade like a tiger's fangs.

Roar!!

As soon as this saber appeared, a tiger's roar spread for thousands of miles, and surging Evil Qi rushed into the sky.

"Hiss..."

"What a terrifying demonic saber! Such intense Evil Qi! What is Kang Zhe's background? He is definitely not from the Cold Ice Holy Sect!"

"Whatever his background is, after today, he is dead for sure!"

Yan Chu held the saber in his hand, and his entire Aura changed abruptly.

Terrifying Saber Intent rose on him, and the area of several dozen zhang seemed to turn into an ocean of blades. Accompanied by the soul of the War Tiger within the demonic saber, his Aura rose infinitely, splitting the thunderclouds in the sky and letting the sunlight fall down again.

"That saber..."

The two purple eyes above the thunderclouds shone brightly, staring at the long saber in Yan Chu's hand, a trace of greed appearing deep in his eyes.

With his vision, he could naturally see that the Tiger Soul was extraordinary.

This was a demonic saber that could grow, theoretically with no upper limit.

The more essence blood and fierce souls it devoured, the deeper the saber's demonic intent, and the higher the saber's grade.

"Hmph! Die!!"

Although Yan Chu's Aura was extraordinary, in Dong Ting's eyes, it was still vulnerable.

Without becoming a Sage, one is ultimately an ant.

Crackle!!

Lightning raged down, covering a thousand miles of land. Purple electricity tore through the firmament, and the thunder turned into whips that filled the sky. Between heaven and earth, only the deafening sound of thunder remained.

"Seven Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying - Heaven-Swallowing!!"

Just amidst this deafening thunder, a clear voice came from the thunder and dark clouds, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

Then everyone saw a scene they would never forget.

Even after decades, those who watched the battle still talked about this scene with relish.

...

...

The first move of the Seven Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying, Heaven-Swallowing!

This move was the strongest move of the Seven Limits, possessing the power to truly destroy heaven and earth, swallowing the heavens and devouring the earth, its power exceeding the sum of the other six moves.

Ever since Yan Chu began cultivating this saber technique, he had never used this move.

He didn't expect that the first time he used it, it would be in combination with the demonic saber Tiger Soul, and his opponent would be a Sage.

Hum — Boom!!!

The huge Tiger Soul saber pointed straight at the sky. In a trance, everyone seemed to see a War Tiger roaring at the sky, its voice filled with ferocity and dominance, shocking all living things in heaven and earth.

The sound of the tiger's roar pierced through clouds and cracked rocks, and the ferocity of the king of all beasts was fully displayed.

What made everyone's heart tremble even more was that flash of saber light.

The saber light rushed into the sky, cutting a huge crack over a thousand miles long in the sky, as if connecting to the Nine Nether Lands. Endless devouring power came from the crack.

All the thunderclouds and the lightning that smashed down were forcibly pulled up by this devouring power, like a clay ox entering the sea, absorbed, crushed, and worn away by supreme power.

Not just the thunderclouds, but also that dazzling star that had been hanging high in the sky, watching from the sidelines.

"Ugh!! What kind of saber Dao Divine Ability is this?"

A voice of horror came from within the star, spraying out countless blood, the starlight becoming dim, all the starlight swallowed by the crack, and even this entire star almost couldn't withstand that terrifying pulling force, falling into the crack.

This Sage from the Tianxing Sect immediately retreated thousands of miles, not stopping until he landed on one of the mountain ridges in Wuyun Ridge, his face full of lingering fear.

The blood beads that flowed out fell to the ground below, smashing huge craters into the mountains and the earth.

A Sage's blood was enough to crush a Divine Ability.

"Urgh ah!!!!"

Behind the thunderclouds came another scream of pain, much more serious than the Sage from the Tianxing Sect.

Dong Ting's tone was cold and icy:

"You actually dare to hurt me!! You can actually hurt me?!!"

Accompanying this scream, the rolling thunderclouds shrank and dissipated in an instant, all swallowed into the crack.

Only the thousand-mile-long crack remained across the sky, like a huge scar left on the sky, unable to dissipate for a long time.

Dong Ting's figure was revealed on the horizon.

He was no longer surrounded by clouds, mysterious and invisible; he had revealed his true form.

But his current appearance made everyone's jaw drop.

He had lost nearly half of his body, the wound as smooth as a mirror, with no blood flowing out, as if it had been swallowed by something in one bite.

Cold sweat rolled down Dong Ting's forehead, and a devouring force swirled on the wound, continuously devouring his essence, Qi, and spirit.

Even a Sage's magic power could not expel it for a while.

His injuries were too heavy.

If it weren't for dodging in time at the last moment, his whole body would have been swallowed by the saber light, fallen into that crack, and been crushed and extinguished.

"The Sage... the Sage was hurt..."

In the distance, the voices of the Cultivators above Yunqi City trembled; they simply couldn't believe the scene they were seeing.

The omnipotent, transcendent Sage had actually been severely injured by a Divine Ability Realm.

How could this be?

Everyone didn't want to believe this scene, but having seen it with their own eyes, it couldn't be faked.

Everyone had heard the shout just now.

This Sage had really been hurt!

Wow —

This scene immediately caused an uproar.

"How could this be?! The Sage!!!"

City Lord Yu Chongyue roared, wanting to get closer to check, but Dong Ting's face looked incomparably ferocious due to the pain, and Sage Aura permeated his body, making it impossible to get close.

Others also had expressions of astonishment, a chill rushing through their bodies.

This was too unbelievable, creating history in the Yuanqing Holy Realm.

The Sage Realm was a unique Realm, and there was a fundamental difference between it and those below the Sage level.

It wasn't just being able to master Laws.

It was also because at this Realm, the Origin power in the Cultivator's body began to transform into magic power.

This was a higher level of power than the Origin power in the Qi Sea; a drop of magic power was enough to crush a large mountain.

Precisely because of this, the Sage Realm was difficult to be defeated by someone of a Lower Realm; this was a consensus in the Cultivation world, and it was something that had never happened before.

But today, this consensus was broken.

From today on, this scene would be recorded in the history of the Cultivation world.

Yan Chu had broken history.

And Dong Ting, as the one who was hurt, was destined to serve as a foil and a stepping stone, setting off Yan Chu's brilliant radiance.

"Where is Kang Zhe? He's gone!!"

At this moment, someone turned their gaze to where Yan Chu had been, and suddenly discovered that the protagonist of this event had disappeared.

"He fled!"

Someone guessed something in their heart and immediately said with certainty:

"Such a terrifying saber strike must consume a great deal; he must have been backlashed and had to flee for his life!"

As if because they had guessed the truth, they were even more adamant:

"It must be like this!"

"Damn it! He hurt a Sage and dared to just flee like that?!"

Yu Chongyue gritted his teeth, feeling extremely hateful.

The Sage of his Ziyun Sect was the faith of every member of the Ziyun Sect; now that their faith had been defeated, Yan Chu deserved to die!

"What about the Sage of my Tianxing Sect?"

Suddenly, Liu Jiupo thought of something.

Others also came back to their senses and hurriedly looked up at the sky.

That huge, dazzling star had disappeared, and the brilliant starlight from before was no longer falling.

"The Sage of the Tianxing Sect is on the mountain ridge!"

Someone pointed into the distance.

Even from thousands of miles away, the Sage's Aura was still extremely conspicuous, even more eye-catching than the entire continuous giant ridge.

Everyone would subconsciously ignore the mountain ridges, because the Sage was taller than the mountain ridges.

However, compared to the strength just now, this Sage's Aura was now obviously much weaker, and the starlight was dim.

"The Sage of the Tianxing Sect... was also injured..."

What this situation represented could not be more obvious.

"One saber strike... severely injured two Sages... is this real?"

"Oh my god!"

Witnessing the myth of the Sage being broken with their own eyes, everyone present had complex emotions and felt a deep chill.

The Ziyun Sect and the Tianxing Sect would never let this rest.

Yan Chu had done such a big thing, and the three major forces of the Fusheng Domain would hunt him down everywhere.

Being able to severely injure a Sage with the Divine Ability Realm, everyone would be interested in the secrets he held.

"Brother Dong, how are you?"

While everyone in Yunqi City was discussing and shocked, the Tianxing Sect Sage, Guo Xun, had already returned to Dong Ting's side.

On his chest and abdomen, there was a huge saber wound, the flesh and blood rolled, and one could see the internal organs like the large and small intestines inside.

A strong Evil Qi and devouring power swirled around the wound, which even his Sage magic power could not immediately expel; he would have to go into closed-door cultivation for a period of time.

Dong Ting was injured even more miserably.

He was the one who faced Yan Chu's saber strike head-on; nearly half of his body had disappeared, swallowed by the Heaven-Swallowing crack, and it was definitely not something that could be restored by simple closed-door cultivation.

It required a powerful person to take action to remove this devouring Saber Intent for him, and then treat it with Sage medicine.
