Chapter 538 The Unorthodox Way

Taoties were a unique race throughout the Endless Void because of how they were born. Most worlds followed the same path of development after their inceptions. There were Disorder Chaos Qi all over these worlds, making it impossible for any lifeforms to be born.

After many years, the disorder Chaos Qi became orderly Chaos Qi, and Heavenly Dao created the first Innate Lifeforms. A few required Chaos Qi to be bred, but they are still considered Innate Lifeforms.

Now, Taoties are different. They are creatures directly bred from the disorder Chaos Qi and, as such, are considered Chaos Lifeforms. Very few creatures are considered Chaos Lifeforms in the Endless Void; the number could probably be counted on one hand.

However, they usually have a few things in common: they are extremely powerful and uncontrollable. They can all be described as mad, living only for the desire of destruction.

The Taotie summoned by Ye Tuizhi opened its mouth and swallowed everything and everyone within a hundred meters diameter around him. The houses, people, and spiritual energy.

The weak participants, the aid they brought, and the maid the trial gave all participants could not resist or react in time as the mouth devoured their flesh, blood, and soul.

'A little provocation and this guy turns almost everyone against him,' thought Wang Wei. So far, there has been an unwritten rule not to involve innocent people like the maid or the people working in the city in this competition.

But Ye Tuizhi did not care and broke the rule. Many people–including his kind from other worlds–will officially turn him during this competition; with just one move, he becomes alienated.

Wang Wei looked at the Taotie with calmness. He was not scared since he knew it was not the real thing. Otherwise, he would have run away and called for his Ancestor. The beast was only a manifestation of Ye Tuizhi's Law of Devouring.

Ye Tuizhi healed his cracked skull and took a deep breath to calm down. Then, his body morphed into a tiger the size of a mountain with red stripes on its back and two bull horns. He disappeared before reappearing in front of Wang Wei.

The Taotie behind him opened its mouth with the intent of swallowing the small thing in front of him. After calming down, Ye Tuzhi realized this was an opportunity for him. His strength would drastically increase as long as he could swallow this human.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei had plenty of time to think.

'Gravity is a part of the Devouring Dao. So, he used its power to pull and fold space and achieve teleportation. These Heaven Chosens are nothing to scoff.'

Small luminous dots appeared in different spots on his body; knowledgeable individuals knew these were the physical manifestations of his Acupoints. Then, a terrifying swallowing power came from Wang Wei's body, canceling Ye Tuizhi's before he punched the tiger.

Boom!

The surrounding space bend as shockwaves travels outward a few dozens of meters. However, this attack did no damage to Ye Tuizhi as he devoured the force behind the attack.

Additionally, Wang Wei's keen senses detected that the latter's fleshly body suddenly became more powerful. Albeit the increase was well hidden, he could still detect it.

'The increase in strength is too large,' thought Wang Wei. Although the Law of Devour can devour everything to help its user's development, there is still a limit based on the individual. And according to his calculation, Ye Tuizhi's growth exceeded his limit.

He punched the tiger again with the same outcome. Nevertheless, he still learned something.

'His Devouring Dao also involves something similar to Growth Law or Evolution Law which allows him to better digest the things he swallowed. A perfect combination if I say so myself.'

Ye Tuizhi raised his sharp claws, slashing at Wang Wei's face.

Crack!

Young Master Ye's face became ugly to look at. His claws–which could easily slash through neutron stars–broke as they clashed with his opponent's face. Wang Wei raised his hand to punch him for the third time, this time using the power of fate.

Boom!

Ye Tuizhi flew away before crashing to the floor.

When Wang Wei's fist touched him, he used Fate Law to determine the limit of his opponent's absorption power. Then, the attack finally succeeded once the force behind his punch exceeded that limit.

'Dao Overlord,' thought Chu Luo, who was watching the battle in the distance like many others. Deep in his eyes was slight envy.

Meanwhile, Ye Tuizhi quickly stood up from the ground, even going on the offensive.

Bloodline Divine Ability: Hell Suppression.

He appeared in front of his opponent and slammed down with his paw while the latter raised one hand to block

Crack!

Small space cracks appeared underneath Wang Wei's feet, and with each second, the cracks expanded in size.

'His mass and weight can increase infinitely?' thought Wang Wei as he felt the tiger's weight become drastically higher with each passing second. Based on his calculator, his fleshly body would not be able to bear it in half a minute.

Many thoughts flashed across Wang Wei's mind in less than a nanosecond. He had many ways to deal with the situation. Use fate to limit the mass increase, use time to keep reverting it to weight that he could bear, or use Yin-Yang to make it so that his opponent became lighter with each passing second.

In the end, he chose a not-so-revealing method. He pretended he was struggling to block the attack. And at the exact moment Ye Tuizhi's mass reached the limit of his fleshly body, he activated the Gluttonay Swallowing Scripture to absorb all the tiger's mass and weight and convert it into energy to increase the size of the more than 500 supermassive black holes inside his Acupoints.

Wang Wei felt it. In just a few seconds, he increases his from 25,000 Dragon Elephant Force to 50,000. So, now, he could destroy 50 million Middle Thousand Worlds with one punch. Regrettably, he was still in the second layer of the True Power Dao Realm.

At the same time, Wang Wei quickly sealed his increased strength since he felt he did not have proper control.

Meanwhile, Ye Tuizhi's black fur became slightly pale after having his strength swallowed. More importantly, he felt humiliated losing to someone else regarding the Laws of Devour.

Nevertheless, he acted quickly. He used the store power he kept in case of emergency to return to his peak state before continuing attacking.

Bloodline Domain: Lord of Hell.

Wang Wei suddenly felt the world around him change. He was no longer inside the trial's city, floating in the air. He was now standing in a pool of lava. He could feel a creepy wind blowing around, containing the sound of grieving souls. Ordinary cultivators would have their spirit and soul affected by the wind and sound, but he did not care.

Above his head was an enormous wheel with the character "good" and "evil" displaying its might. A terrifying devouring power emanated from everywhere, trying to devour everything that makes up his existence.

The Laws inside his body became extremely difficult to mobilize, the same for the Origin Essence inside his Divine Sea. If it was not for the quality of his soul, he sensed that even his Spiritual Power would have difficulty being used.

'A Domain that combined his bloodline and his Law?' thought Wang Wei, looking in the distance where Ye Tuizhi had a humanoid shape, sitting on a throne with a book and pen floating before him.

Without wasting time, he ordered his army composed of creatures with ox heads and horse faces to attack his opponent. In his domain, these creatures were endless, and as long as he could tire his opponent, he could swallow him.

Wang Wei quickly analyzed the situation before deciding to use overwhelming force to break this Domain. After all, the environment was literally working against him.

However, he stopped as he suddenly had a divine hint to use the power of a Domain as well to break free. He knew these hints were a manifestation of his Luck and Destiny Laws; they would give suggestions to do things that would be beneficial to him.

So, Wang Wei wrapped his body with a slight power from the Free Will Incarnation's Domain and became free from the restriction of a Domain. With this method, he quickly escaped Ye Tuizhi's Bloodline Domain.

In the distance, Chu Luo squinted his eyes after seeing the method Wang Wei used to escape.

"The Unorthodox Method of the Nine Extremities Foundation," he muttered. Suddenly, the second-seeded player became an eyesore as he remembered two of his greatest failures.

His parents informed him of the Nine Extremities Foundation as they encouraged him to walk that difficult path. They first suggested he use the unorthodox way since it was less time-consuming.

They told him the three requirements for using this method. Firstly, the soul must be of sufficient quality. As an Emperor Child and with his parents' resources, he quickly met the requirement.

The second requirement was to enter the Duyi Realm. After learning about this secret cultivation realm, he developed a way to reach it, and with the protection of his parents, Divine Punishment Thunder was not a big deal.

Where he failed was the last requirement: having a tiny amount of understanding about his [Existence]. He did not need the level required to be an Eternal Emperor, but enough so that when he fused with the other clones, there would be no problem, backlash, or loss of strength.

Unfortunately, even after his father–a Pseudo-Eternal Emperor–preached his understanding of [Existence] to him, he could not comprehend anything. His parents did not blame him since it is rare for anyone to understand anything regarding [Existence] without the Heavenly Will presenting the concept to any individual.

To do so beforehand would require not only immense comprehension but also luck and maybe even the perfect environment. Nevertheless, Chu Luo never forgets the fleeting disappointment in his parent's eyes when he failed after numerous attempts.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to use the orthodox method and reincarnate himself over and over while condensing a unique Dao Inheritance Seed that contained all his strength, bloodline, comprehension, etc., before absorbing it in his subsequent lives.
