Chapter 316 - Fourth-Level of the True Core Realm

Chapter 316 - Fourth-Level of the True Core Realm

When Liu Wuxie opened his eyes, he observed the changes in his soul sea. The Heavenly Dao Book hovered above his soul sea like a towering pillar.

What surprised Liu Wuxie was that his cultivation reached the fourth level of the True Core Realm, and his spirit stones didn’t decrease at all. He couldn’t comprehend what was going on because there were no signs of his breakthrough.

“Enlightenment! It must be enlightenment!” Liu Wuxie clenched his fists. Others would be at a loss of what to do if a golden scripture suddenly appeared in their soul sea. Only Liu Wuxie would be so bold to inscribe the essence of the Desolate Devouring Art in it.

With a thought, the Heavenly Dao Book opened up, and the Desolate Devouring Art was like a general outline inscribed at the very top.

In the future, as Liu Wuxie continued to write down the book's contents, he could only write beneath the Desolate Devouring Art. This was because the Desolate Devouring Art was first in the sequence, listed at the pinnacle of the Dao. Even he had no idea what it would progress into in the future.

The night had passed without knowing, and it was dawn by the time he was done with the Heavenly Dao Book. He planned to visit the Book Collection Hall again in the future when he had time. If he wanted the Heavenly Dao Book to carry on growing, he would have to absorb more knowledge.

As for the Heavenly Dao Book’s function, he was still in the process of exploring. When his divine sense entered his dantian, space trembled violently as though the world in his dantian had changed. It felt as though this world had come to life with trees becoming more vivid and earth seeming denser.

Boundless true essence gushed throughout his body like tidal waves, possessing endless power.

When Liu Wuxie circulated the Desolate Devouring Art, the Heavenly Dao Book in his soul sea opened up and began absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings. This further increased his cultivation speed by several times, instantly devouring the spiritual energy in the surroundings.

“I see...after the Desolate Devouring Art was inscribed onto the Heavenly Dao Book, it became more compatible with heaven and earth. This allows me to achieve twice the result with half the effort. I wonder if I can inscribe the Fatality Blade Art onto the Heavenly Dao Book.” Another bold idea emerged in Liu Wuxie’s mind. He planned to inscribe the Fatality Blade Art onto the Heavenly Dao Book to enhance it.

Once Liu Wuxie made up his mind, he didn't hesitate. He opened the Heavenly Dao Book and began inscribing the Fatality Blade Art into its pages.

However, even after inscribing it for half a day, there wasn’t any reaction from the Heavenly Dao Book. This was weird, and he wondered if there was an issue with the Fatality Blade Art. Since the Fatality Blade Art failed, Liu Wuxie attempted to inscribe the Overlord Fist, but there wasn’t any effect.

“Could it be that I can only inscribe the techniques I create in the Heavenly Dao Book? The Fatality Blade Art was left behind by my father, and the Overlord Fist wasn’t created by me either. This is the reason why I can’t inscribe it into the Heavenly Dao Book,” Liu Wuxie frowned and muttered to himself. After all, this was the only possible answer he came up with.

Constructing a new sequence meant creating a new world, and each sequence required careful crafting. However, Liu Wuxie knew he had more time to explore and understand the depths of the Heavenly Dao Book in the future.

“Let’s put that aside for now and take one step at a time!” Liu Wuxie gave up on inscribing in the Heavenly Dao Book. After all, he couldn't create anything with his current cultivation, and he would have to reach the Astral River Realm at least to comprehend dao.

When Liu Wuxie circulated the Desolate Devouring Art, all the spiritual energy within tens of thousands of meters was devoured, which made many people unhappy.

When the sun rose high in the sky, Liu Wuxie’s cultivation finally stabilized in the fourth level of the True Core Realm’s late phase. The Desolate Devouring Art inscribed in the Heavenly Dao Book grew brighter with the words becoming clearer.

“This is weird. The runes in the Heavenly Dao Book are getting clearer. Can it be because I used Desolate Devouring Art to devour spiritual energy?” Liu Wuxie muttered to himself, and the runes in the Heavenly Dao Book became clearer.

Taking out dozens of pills, Liu Wuxie tossed them into the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, converting them into spiritual energy and poured into the world in his dantian. Changes soon began to appear in the Heavenly Dao Book with faint alchemy runes appearing in it.

With things coming to this point, Zhao Yihai had no room for retreat and threw out a punch at Liu Wuxie’s face.

“Great!” Liu Wuxie stepped forward instead of retreating. He had just reached the fourth level of the True Core Realm, and this was an excellent opportunity for him to gauge his strength. Leaving behind an afterimage, a resounding slap was heard before Zhao Yihai could react.

Zhao Yihai flew out like a broken kite, smashing into the wall and coughing up blood. With just one slap from Liu Wuxie, he was sent flying, which displayed Liu Wuxie’s strength.

Zhang Lin’s group of three was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe what they had just seen. They even doubted if they were dreaming.

“Senior Brother Zhao, are you alright?” Zhang Lin came forward to help Zhao Yihai back on his feet.

“I’ll kill you!” Pushing Zhang Lin aside, Zhao Yihao took out a longsword from his interspatial pouch and cleaved it down at Liu Wuxie. His sword unleashed a powerful sword aura that created a vacuum passage, heading towards Liu Wuxie.

“I’ll fulfill your wish since you’re courting death!” Liu Wuxie narrowed his eyes with his murderous intent, reaching every corner of the courtyard.

He appeared before Zhao Yihai like a shadow, interrupting the latter before he could cleave his sword down. With a kick, Zhao Yihai was sent flying even further away this time.

When Zhao Yihai hit the ground, he threw up a mouthful of blood with cracking sounds coming from his dantian.

“Y-You crippled my cultivation?! Damn you!” Zhao Yihai roared like a wild beast. Losing his cultivation meant he could only become a cripple in the future.

Zhang Lin’s group of three was stumped because everything was done in one move.

“This...” Wu He began to tremble, forgetting to breathe. They had spent a great effort to invite Zhao Yihai to help them, but Liu Wuxie had easily crippled him.

When Liu Wuxie looked at Zhang Lin’s group of three coldly, Zhang Lin went down on his knees without any hesitation. After all, the latter didn’t want to die, let alone become a cripple.

Wu He and Zhu You also went down on their knees shortly after and began kowtowing to Liu Wuxie.

“You all deserve to die!” Liu Wuxie said coldly. Previously, he had only punished them slightly, but they had dared to come back with someone else to seek revenge. Thus, it was fine, even if he killed them.

“Yes, we all deserve to die, but please spare our lives!” Zhang Lin kowtowed continuously. He was filled with regret as he kowtowed to someone much younger than him.

“I have already given you all a chance, but you three didn’t cherish it!” Liu Wuxie raised his right foot and sent Zhang Lin’s group of three flying. Like Zhao Yihai, their dantians were also shattered.

“Liu Wuxie, I curse you!” Zhang Lin roared, but no one paid any attention to them. With their cultivation lost, it wouldn’t be long before they would be kicked out from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Zhu You and Wu He sat weakly on the ground with an empty look in their eyes.
