Chapter 207: Heavenly Dao's Devouring Demon Technique
The man was enveloped in black mist, his dark robe billowing in the wind, obscuring his features.
Zhao Yang stepped between the two, striking out with a palm toward the man in the black robe. The figure staggered back, and a thick black mist, as large as a tree trunk, coiled around him like a dragon, twisting toward Zhao Yang. The surrounding air turned inky black. Zhao Yang's Chaotic Qi swirled around him, dispersing the black mist, causing the robed figure to retreat swiftly.
Zhao Yang took the girl's hand and landed on the ground, concern etched on his face. "Sister Liu Rou, are you alright?"
Liu Rou, still shaken, whispered through her sobs, "All my fellow sisters and brothers who came with me are dead. This person is too wicked."
Beside them, Long Xiao Wu pouted, feeling dejected and melancholic upon realizing that the girl he had taken an interest in was actually Zhao Yang's companion.
Zhao Yang turned his gaze toward the figure standing at a distance. "Shiyunsheng, I didn't expect you to come to Heavenly Mechanism Mountain as well."
Shiyunsheng hissed like a venomous snake. "Why can you come here but not me?"
Unfazed, Shiyunsheng had previously failed in his ambush against Zhao Yang and Song Baliang. He had then stumbled upon a hidden paradise but unexpectedly encountered Long Xiao Wu. He had been stalking him ever since, hoping to find an opportunity to kill Long Xiao Wu and devour his Dragon Spiritual Root. However, along the way, he spotted a woman who piqued his interest even more—one born with an affinity for nature. If he could consume her, it would greatly benefit him.
At that moment, three figures appeared in the distance: Song Baliang, Nangong Wuxin, and Scholar Xiu.
They approached Zhao Yang and saw that he was unharmed and accompanied by a stunningly beautiful woman. Nangong Wuxin immediately panicked; his gaze darted away as he dared not look at anyone.
Zhao Yang smiled knowingly and introduced them. "This is Liu Rou. They are all my brothers. This one is Song Baliang, my senior brother; this is Scholar Xiu; and this one who gets flustered around beautiful women is Nangong Wuxin; and this is Long Xiao Wu."
After making the introductions, Zhao Yang turned to Nangong Wuxin, who then looked toward Shiyunsheng not far away and declared, "Shiyunsheng, today you won't escape death even if you sprout wings!"
"Haha!" Shiyunsheng laughed heartily. "You think a bunch of useless drunks can keep me here?"
On the edge of the high platform at Heavenly Mechanism Mountain, Tiandao looked coldly at all the outsiders, his gaze growing increasingly icy.
Suddenly, he sensed a sound slicing through the air behind him. Before he could react, a Flying Sword pierced through his back and emerged from his chest. The attacker was only a step away from Tiandao, and red light spilled from his eyes.
"Brother Wang, how dare you ambush Senior Brother Tiandao!" countless voices shouted in reprimand.
The man referred to as Brother Wang was named Wang Hua, the chief disciple of Genius Academy. His mastery of Dao was exceptional, second only to Tiandao and Ghost Path. If not for their overshadowing brilliance, he might have been a candidate for the Twelve Divine Generals. The sword in his hand was the Sky Piercing Sword, a replica of an ancient Supreme Dao Artifact, yet still a Low-Level Dao Artifact with immense power. Anyone without specific defenses would be pierced through by it. Only Elite disciples of Genius Academy were allowed to possess such weapons.
Thus, the top genius of Genius Academy, Tiandao, was pierced through the chest by a single strike.
No one had ever seen Tiandao make a move; they had only heard his name echo like thunder. Yet here he was, pierced through the chest by a sword. In that moment, many began to believe he was merely a figurehead, just as he had claimed before.
However, what happened next was shocking. Tiandao calmly turned around and glanced at the tip of the Sky Piercing Sword protruding from his chest. He said indifferently, "Brother Wang is indeed the fastest in movement among Genius Academy; even I couldn't evade your strike at close range."
After speaking, a fierce expression appeared on Tiandao's face as he reached out and grasped Wang Hua, who had wounded him with the sword. A silent wave of energy emanated from him, causing the red light in Wang Hua's eyes to vanish. He remembered what had just happened and screamed in terror, trying to break free from Tiandao's grip.
"Tiandao, please let me go! I didn't do it on purpose; someone controlled my consciousness! Please..."
Before Wang Hua could finish his plea, his flesh visibly shriveled at an alarming rate. His eye sockets sank deep into his skull while his eyeballs bulged out. His once full cheeks hollowed out; his nose collapsed and teeth began to fall out. His skin aged rapidly, and within moments he appeared utterly withered.
Tiandao pinched the Sky Piercing Sword between two fingers and flicked it out from his chest. The broken blade shot through the air like a meteor, piercing through Wang Hua's head and continuing onward. The disciples of Genius Academy had already cleared a path when Tiandao raised his finger to flick the sword; the severed blade created an invisible shockwave that collapsed a mountain ten miles away.
It was ruthless and merciless; there was not a hint of compassion in his eyes.
The body of the Heavenly Dao showed no signs of injury, let alone any blood; its powerful vitality had repaired its wounds in an instant.
"Stronger than Chaos True Qi's healing ability!" Zhao Yang frowned. The speed of this recovery was astonishing; even consuming Spiritual Pills or miraculous medicines would likely not match its healing pace. Moreover, he noticed that after the Heavenly Dao devoured a person, its vitality grew stronger.
Zhao Yang sensed that this person's vitality was already comparable to his own. He was a practitioner of Body Refinement, and his meridians had been cleansed by the medicinal powers of the Supreme Ultimate Nine Turns Golden Elixir. His Chaotic Root was the ancestor of Spiritual Roots, which inherently benefited practitioners. Furthermore, Zhao Yang's Perfect Foundation Cauldron significantly enhanced his physical resilience and Spirit Energy conversion ability. Over time, his Perfect Foundation Cauldron had accumulated a vast amount of life essence, rich in the essence of True Qi. Thus, his vitality continued to grow larger and more stable. The Haotian Pill was like a slumbering dragon, powerful enough to backfire on its host. If not for Zhao Yang's unique circumstances, few in the world could possess the Haotian Pill.
Even with such extraordinary encounters and innate talents, it astonished Zhao Yang that someone could match his vitality.
Vitality is the essence of life, representing strength and weakness. Unlike cultivation levels, Zhao Yang believed that perhaps only Long Xiao Wu's vitality could rival his own because Long Xiao Wu was a dragon. To be precise, he possessed the noblest bloodline and was born strong; the phrase "vitality like a dragon," used to describe someone with great vitality, did not quite fit him.
Because he was a dragon himself—a legendary golden dragon.
It was said that golden dragons had overwhelming vitality, soaring to the Nine Heavens above and diving into the Yellow Springs below, piercing through myriad realms without anyone daring to obstruct them.
The reason Long Xiao Wu's vitality was not as strong as Zhao Yang's or the Heavenly Dao's at present was that he had sealed away his powerful dragon blood to avoid exposure. Additionally, he was still too young—merely a hatchling.
After killing Wang Hua, the Heavenly Dao kicked him aside as if discarding a dead cat, showing no concern whatsoever.
Meanwhile, the figure in black robes revealed his true form with great interest. Shiyunsheng's face was pale, but dark circles under his eyes did not detract from his handsomeness. He spoke in a voice as venomous as a serpent: "The name of Heaven's Dao Fruit is well-deserved; this must be the Devouring Heaven Demon Technique that everyone in the world longs to cultivate. I have searched for this Cultivation Method for so long and never expected to find it in you!"
A brief look of surprise crossed the Heavenly Dao's face before it vanished. It looked at Shiyunsheng and said, "What Devouring Heaven Demon Technique? I've never heard of it; it's merely a Blood Refining Technique."
