Essence Devouring Art

’King Grade, Saint Grade, Emperor Grade, Thirty-Three Heavens...’

Thoughts surged through his mind.

The grades of Dharma Aspects surfaced in his Sea of Consciousness.

Wu Dao held no expectations.

He was confident about the realm he would reach after this reconstruction and breakthrough, so he reined in his thoughts and focused wholeheartedly on the process.

VMM!

An unknown amount of time passed.

Just as the transforming Wu Dao devoured and drained the Divine Desolate Celestial Punishment Magnetic Field Ball until it was only a thousand li in diameter...

RUMBLE—

The Three-Phase Divine Punishment Fist was the first to transform.

The three calamitous Dharma Aspects were like Gods and Demons newly born from Chaos. Their bodies rapidly grew to a colossal scale, towering tens of thousands of li into the storms of the void.

Each Dharma Aspect gushed with the aura of a supreme Emperor, surrounded by layer upon layer of calamitous Celestial Domains. It was as if the All Heavens and Myriad Realms themselves were being forged anew, a scene of spectacular and boundless grandeur.

「In Hongyuan.」

The Dharma Aspect serves as one’s Dao Foundation.

It truly determines the heights one can reach in the future.

To have a Divine Technique transform into a Dharma Aspect is the mark of a genius.

To achieve a King Grade is to be a genius among geniuses.

A Saint Grade signifies a Saintly Form!

Emperor Grade is reserved exclusively for monsters.

As long as they don’t perish prematurely...

...they have a chance to reach the same heights as a figure like the Slaughter Emperor.

And as for the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Emperor Grade...

That signifies the potential for Dao Attainment!

In any given world, you could count the number of such individuals on one hand.

And Wu Dao...

Three great Dharma Aspects!

All possessed the potential of the Thirty-Three Heavens Dao Attainment level!

Such terrifying potential.

If any Hongyuan Cultivator were to witness this, their worldview would be utterly shattered.

But this was merely the beginning!

ROAR—

After the Three-Phase Divine Punishment...

...the Five Great Sacred Spirit Dharma Aspects roared throughout the universe, their spirits roused. Baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, they frantically pulled in all sorts of energies as their bodies gradually grew as colossal as those of Gods and Demons.

The Black Lotus Karmic Fire, the Undying Incarnation, the Soldier Disaster Qi, the Juntian Sacred Armor, the Wind and Thunder Roar...

All of the Innate Divine Techniques of the Five Great Sacred Spirits that comprised One Origin, Ten Thousand Transformations, began to transform into layer upon layer of Celestial Domains, carried along by the eruption of Wu Dao’s boundless potential.

Ultimately,

just as Wu Dao had expected,

an event that would shock even a Great Emperor Celestial Venerable in Hongyuan occurred once more.

The Five Great Sacred Spirit Dharma Aspects!

All of them reached the Thirty-Three Heavens!

VMM!

Another thunderous vibration echoed.

Trillions of Crystal Grain Bodies, like cosmic lighthouses, rearranged themselves, the light they radiated growing ever more incandescent. Within his very source, the last of his acquired impurities rapidly transformed into the Holy Spirit Source.

The Holy Spirit Transformation had washed away the final speck of dust!

He had truly achieved a Reverse Innate state.

He now possessed a physique and foundation that could rival those of the Ancient Primordial Sacred Spirits!

The ancient Holy Spirit Starry Sky continued to expand.

Ultimately, it formed a terrifying, heaven-propping body that also contained thirty-three Celestial Domains within.

The Transverse Refining Dao.

The Yang God Realm corresponds to the Heavenly Law and Earthly Appearance technique.

Similarly, the physical body has its own exclusive Body of Heaven and Earth.

As the name implies,

a Horizontal Refiner who reaches this step...

...possesses qi and blood of boundless vastness, and Power of immense scale.

If they fully unleash their physical form, their body can become as vast as a Celestial Domain, and the qi and blood of their Yang God can replace the great sun itself, illuminating every real and illusory corner of the world.

The path of Transverse Cultivation is the most difficult of all Daos.

And reaching the Yang God Realm is even more difficult than ascending to the Nine Heavens.

Therefore,

as long as one steps into the Yang God Realm,

their Body Image is at least of the Saint Grade.

But for a physique like Wu Dao’s, reconstructed and bolstered by the Essence Devouring Art’s amplification of his Transverse Cultivation, its power was simply incredible. Reaching Emperor Grade was a matter of course.

The Thirty-Three Heavens.

This also meant that within the Yang God Realm,

he could take thirty-three steps, allowing his physique to utterly crush other Cultivators in the same realm in every conceivable way.

After his Transverse and Soul Cultivation techniques advanced,

the Mighty Power of his various offensive and defensive combat Divine Techniques also began to skyrocket, crossing the threshold into the rank of Dharma Aspects.

Whether it was his Primordial Magnetic Divine Techniques,

or Immune to All Laws and One Origin, Ten Thousand Transformations,

their upper limits were all exceptionally high.

Furthermore, they were exclusive to Wu Dao.

They were qualified to become branches on the trunk of the Primordial Magnetism Path, and Wu Dao had constructed a worldly foundation for each of them.

From now on, he just needed to keep carving out these heavens and earths,

expanding their All Heaven Capacity.

His Primordial Magnetic Power would naturally advance by leaps and bounds as well.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE—

After all these cultivation advances,

the main event finally arrived.

Trillions of Crystal Grain Bodies grated against each other as they spun, giving birth to countless explosive Primordial Magnetic currents colored like entire star rivers. Rotation by rotation, they constructed magnetic turbines that brewed destructive energy.

At 100% body liberation,

the limit of his Primordial Magnetic Power was a one-hundred-rotation Magnetic Field!

But now,

as Wu Dao reshaped his own microstructure, shattered the limits of the Essence Devouring Art, and stepped into a brand-new domain,

one hundred rotations was no longer the limit!

One hundred ten!

One hundred twenty!

One hundred fifty!

Two hundred rotations!!

Finally,

the wildly surging magnetic energy came to a halt, having ultimately constructed a two-hundred-rotation magnetic turbine.

VMMMM—

It was as if an abyss capable of devouring all creation had taken form, coiling in the void and unleashing waves of world-destroying Energy.

All of the advancements

had finally come to a close.

The Star Sea Abyss began to contract.

The immense, black-hole-like magnetic pull also began to recede and fall dormant.

In the void above the ball of Celestial Punishment, all turmoil ceased. Only a single, imposing figure sat quietly in a cross-legged position.

To call it a person was a stretch.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that, like a black hole, it was constantly emitting a magnetic pull capable of devouring all creation.

Within his body,

it was like a pocket version of a cosmic All Heaven, and within that All Heaven surged countless, incredibly volatile Primordial Magnetic currents.

Haaa...

His roiling thoughts settled.

Wu Dao sank his consciousness into his attribute panel, and a cascade of data appeared in his Sea of Consciousness—
