Essence Devouring Art

It was a grand event.

To miss it would be a true pity.

Within a Chaotic Qi Flow.

Wu Dao stepped down from an Enlightenment Platform. Listening to the growing clamor from the Ten Directions, he glanced toward the forbidden zone on Huanwu Peak, where only a single canopy of starlight remained.

’It’s about time.’

Glancing at the suspicious and fearful gazes around him, Wu Dao did not linger. With One Step, he vanished into the Chaos.

It was true that a single trick could get you far, but once those victims exchanged information, they would realize he actually had no powerful backer.

If he stayed any longer, they would likely gang up on him.

After all, he had harvested far too many Emperor Scripture Divine Techniques in plain sight. He was a walking treasure trove, and those Taoist Influences would be willing to take a great risk for him.

"Where is he?"

After Wu Dao left, Park Young, his face flushed red with rage, led a group of Heaven Mending Sect Celestial Prides on a furious search of the surrounding area, but they found nothing.

"That damn bastard!"

The other Celestial Prides from Taoist Influences, who had been scared away by Wu Dao earlier, also emerged from the void where they had been hiding, their expressions grim.

Among the world’s Common Lord Powers and Daoist Lineages, every top-tier Celestial Pride was a known figure. They each had their own circles, and no one was a complete unknown.

When they exchanged information and asked the Celestial Prides of the Common Lord Powers, they discovered there was no one who matched Wu Dao’s description!

How could they not understand?

They had completely scared themselves.

The memory of fleeing from Wu Dao like defeated dogs with their tails tucked between their legs made them feel utterly humiliated.

"Forget it. Even if that person isn’t a Celestial Pride from a Common Lord Power, he is most likely an older-generation Celestial Pride at the Creation Realm," a calmer voice spoke up amidst the furious crowd. "Even with so many of our factions present, and with our top Celestial Prides trailing him and locking down the area, that mysterious man still vanished without a trace right under our noses. That level of strength alone proves he’s not from our generation."

BOOM!!

Just then, a roar like the opening of cosmic floodgates thundered from Huanwu Peak. The sound was clearly audible even beyond the Star Sea, startling countless Celestial Prides who turned to look.

RUMBLE—

The entire Huanwu Mountain shook violently.

Countless Dao Platforms released an intent of submission and awe, as if on a pilgrimage.

All ambient energy converged upon the peak like rivers flowing into the sea, shattering the final layer of the starlight barrier.

ROAR ROAR ROAR—

Dragon roars and tiger howls rang out as Immortal Saints chanted scriptures.

Incomparably brilliant and majestic immortal light of the Great Dao erupted from the peak in a pulse, sweeping away the Chaos and piercing through the Grand Cosmos!

It was like the creation of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms!

Countless profound scriptures surged from the peak like a tidal wave, pouring back into the cosmos and manifesting one after another as radiant Saint Realms.

Within these realms, ancient Immortals and Demons chanted scriptures and blew conch shells, scattering Golden Lotuses of the Great Dao like rain, seemingly celebrating the arrival of the world’s supreme law.

"This is..."

A Celestial Pride, with an entranced expression, reached out and caught a Golden Lotus interwoven with Dao Patterns.

He felt his Divine Soul being cleansed by the Daoist Teachings, and his own Taoist Techniques stirred within him. A thought surfaced—to hear this Dao in the morning would make death at dusk a worthy price.

"The Strongest Enlightenment Platforms!"

Park Young and the other Daoist Children were also captivated, their gazes burning as they stared at the five Venerable purple Dao Platforms. They stood atop the vision of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, looking like Five Directions Divine Demon Continents!

The Five Great Strongest Divine Techniques!

The highest inheritance of the All Heavens Martial Vault!

Obtaining one could forge an invincible Dao Foundation, allowing one to look down upon All Heavens through the ages and be called a Venerable!

In past eras, the Five Great Venerable Dao Platforms had never opened.

But in this era!

The chosen few would be born from among them!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH~

Within the turbulent, surging Chaotic Qi Flow.

Wuchen stood on a blood-stained Dao Platform, his own blood boiling as he watched the five Venerable Dao Platforms at the pinnacle of All Heavens.

"Kid, you should have experienced the terror of the Mixed Lotus Extreme Dao by now. Any one of the Strongest Divine Techniques possesses heaven-defying power. Even Great Emperors would salivate over them. You absolutely cannot miss this!"

Inside the Grotto Heaven, the Big Black Wolf’s eyes burned with fervor. ’The stronger Wuchen becomes, the faster the Abi Saber will recover. A Heaven-Defying Level Strongest Divine Technique is the best possible nourishment for him to grow stronger!’

"It’s not that simple."

Wuchen let out a soft breath and calmed himself. ’There are only five Strongest Divine Techniques, and only five platforms.’

’The greedy gazes below the peak... number in the tens of thousands, if not more.’

’Moreover, I also have to settle my karmic debt with Mo Chen amidst all this before I can even think about obtaining a Divine Technique.’

’It’s as difficult as a mortal ascending to the heavens!’

’Between the two goals, I’ll have to make a choice.’

’But putting all that aside for now...’

’The first problem I have to solve is how to even get a ticket to enter...’
