Desolate Devouring Art

Chapter 521 - Blood Spirit Fruit

Liu Wuxie stood firm, his expression unchanged as he tapped his finger, releasing a cold beam of energy. The man rushing toward him froze in mid-air, instantly turned into an ice sculpture. A moment later, the frozen figure shattered upon hitting the ground, fragments scattering in all directions.

This caused an uproar in the crowd, and the entire Sky Yin Sect fell into chaos. Even their chief disciple was killed by Liu Wuxie in one strike, and they would only die if they stayed there.

"You bastard! How dare you kill our chief disciple! The ancestor will take your life when he returns!" Many of Sky Yin Sect\'s disciples weren\'t willing to leave and abandon the luxurious life in the sect.

"I have already killed the Sky Yin Ancestor!" Liu Wuxie didn\'t want to waste words with these scums and continued to execute the Frost Finger. In just the blink of an eye, over a hundred ice sculptures were on the ground; this was a one-sided massacre.

Liu Wuxie felt no remorse for the carnage. He knew all too well the atrocities committed by these people. In just the past few days, they had captured seven or eight innocent souls. Liu Wuxie could only imagine how many women and children had suffered at the hands of the Sky Yin Sect over its hundred-year reign of terror.

"Please, don\'t kill me!" The remaining disciples were frightened and tried to flee. Their struggle was futile as a spiritual array enveloped the entire Sky Yin Sect.

After all, it would be troublesome for Liu Wuxie to wipe them out if they tried to flee without the spiritual array.

From the higher ground, Jian Xing\'er, Chen Ruoyan, and the recently rescued women and children watched the scene unfold. Many of the women wept as they were freed, their eyes filled with a mix of relief and burning hatred. Seeing the sect that had enslaved them being decimated gave them a long-awaited sense of justice.

"Don\'t kill us!"

"Please spare me!"

"Spare me; I\'ll be your loyal dog!"

"I know where the Sky Yin Sect\'s vault is!"

"..." Countless cries for mercy echoed in the Sky Yin Sect.

However, Liu Wuxie was unmoved, and he continued to take lives with a flick of his finger. There was no guilt in killing these scums; each one of them had blood on their hands.

The massacre lasted for two minutes before all of the Sky Yin Sect\'s disciples were dead. The Sky Yin Sect that was once grand had become a purgatory.

Liu Wuxie finally descended from the sky after killing everyone. The ice sculptures were scattered to ashes when they fell to the ground.

He proceeded to collect their interspatial pouches because, once accumulated, they would be a considerable sum of resources. The resources might not be helpful, but he could use them in the Heavenly Dao Society.

Since establishing the Heavenly Dao Society, he had been requiring numerous resources daily. The benefits were also clear because the Heavenly Dao Society could collect intelligence and help him to strengthen himself.

He could also delegate minor tasks to the Heavenly Dao Society, saving him time. After collecting all the interspatial pouches, he went deeper into the Sky Yin Sect.

When he entered the hall, he looked around before placing his right hand on an azure stone. The sounds of gears rotating could be heard, and a hidden door appeared on the side of the hall, large enough to accommodate one person.

Only the Sky Yin Ancestor knew about this place, and no one knew about this hidden door. He followed the passage, and his view suddenly opened up, revealing a tunnel that extended deep underground.

After walking for about five minutes, a stone door appeared before him. He quickly found the stone door\'s mechanism through Ghost Eye. Upon activating the mechanism, the stone door began to rise and revealed a massive stone chamber.

"The Sky Yin Ancestor has amassed quite a fortune over the years!" A devilish smile rose on Liu Wuxie\'s lips when he saw the chests on the ground. The Sky Yin Ancestor was cunning enough to store his wealth in multiple places; some treasures were kept in interspatial rings, while others were hidden underground.

Liu Wuxie swiftly collected all the spirit stones stored in the chests. In addition to spirit stones, there were many precious spiritual herbs and the cores of profound beasts.

These materials didn\'t interest Liu Wuxie, but he took them anyway. He turned to look at a stone chamber in a corner, where he saw a three-meter-tall vine covering the wall.

The blood-red roots tightly gripped onto the cracks in the wall and extended upward—a crimson fruit hung at the top of the vine.

"Eighth-grade Blood Spirit Fruit!" Liu Wuxie stepped forward and stood beneath the vines with a smile.

"The Sky Yin Ancestor isn\'t simple. Where did he find the Blood Spirit Fruit\'s seed? This is a treasure!" Liu Wuxie took a jade box and plucked the already-ripened Blood Spirit Fruit. After the fruit was picked, the vine began to wither.

"The Sky Yin Ancestor probably planned to use this Blood Spirit Fruit to make a breakthrough to the second-level Astral River Realm, but it\'s mine now." Liu Wuxie glanced around after storing the Blood Spirit Fruit before leaving the stone chamber.

Ordinary eighth-grade spiritual herbs were useless to him, but the Blood Spirit Fruit was different. It had been nurtured daily with the blood of profound beasts, thus it contained their immense energy.

When Liu Wuxie left the hall, he soared to the sky and retrieved the array flags. He executed the Primordial Astral Fist and leveled the entire Sky Yin Sect to the ground. After wrapping things up, he reunited with Jian Xing\'er and Chen Ruoyan.

Upon seeing Liu Wuxie, the women looked at him with reverence. They had witnessed how he had wiped out the entire Sky Yin Sect. Together, they set out for Azure Mountain City.

"Junior Brother Liu, aside from Teng Wanqiu, who\'s in the Astral River Realm, the Teng Clan has another ancestor in the third-level Astral River Realm. You need to be cautious,” Jian Xing’er warned, explaining the full extent of the Teng Clan’s power to Liu Wuxie. Despite her concerns, Liu Wuxie was resolute. Along with returning the rescued women and children to safety, he was determined to annihilate the Teng Clan.

The group returned to Azure Crimson City half a day later. The rescued women thanked the trio before returning home with their babies.

"You two stay here and don\'t get involved!" Liu Wuxie instructed firmly, asking Jian Xing\'er and Chen Ruoyan to remain outside the city. He knew the coming battle would be fierce, and he wouldn’t have the capacity to protect them. If they were captured by the Teng Clan and used against him, it would only complicate matters.

"Brother Liu, we want to fight alongside you!" Chen Ruoyan was on the verge of tears because waiting here for him was a torment.

"It will be dangerous, and I can\'t guarantee I can make it out alive. There\'s no point in you two coming along with me. Head back to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion immediately if I don\'t return within a day," Liu Wuxie said firmly.

Even if he wasn\'t around, he believed Elder Tian Xing and Elder Yi Xuan would care for them.

"Junior Brother Liu, you must make it back alive!" Jian Xing\'er was more mature than Chen Ruoyan, and she knew they had to stay here if they didn\'t want to become burdens to Liu Wuxie.

"Alright!" Liu Wuxie said and vanished, heading straight for the Teng Clan.

Chen Ruoyan\'s face was streaked with tears as she watched him disappear.

Several days passed, and life in the Teng Clan resumed as normal. They assumed that Liu Wuxie had been dealt with by the Sky Yin Ancestor.

Suddenly, the Teng Clan\'s gate was smashed apart, and the Teng Clan\'s disciples who were guarding the gate were ripped apart.

Liu Wuxie charged into the Teng Clan with Heratic Blade. The explosion alarmed everyone in Azure Mountain City, and people swiftly approached to see what was going on.

"Look! Someone charged into the Teng Clan!" People could see a figure charging into the Teng Clan, followed by echoes of screams coming from inside.

"Who dares intrude on our Teng Clan?!" Many experts rushed out from within the Teng Clan, forming an encirclement around Liu Wuxie.

"Your doom!" Liu Wuxie wasted no words and swung his blade. Heads began to fly with a blood rain dyeing the entire Teng Clan\'s courtyard.

News of the attack began to spread like wildfire throughout Azure Mountain City. It didn\'t take long before there was a pile of corpses on the ground.

Crowds gathered, many climbing onto walls to get a better view. A collective gasp of horror swept through as they witnessed the carnage, their breaths catching as a shiver ran down their spines. Liu Wuxie had felled over a hundred men with a single strike, a terrifying display of power.

"Liu Wuxie! He\'s Liu Wuxie!" Someone recognized Liu Wuxie\'s existence. After all, many people were present in the Jian Clan that day. When they heard Liu Wuxie\'s name, the Teng Clan disciples stepped back in fear.

"That\'s impossible! The Sky Yin Ancestor should’ve already killed him!" A Teng Clan\'s elder looked at Liu Wuxie in disbelief.

"Teng Wanqiu, come out!" Liu Wuxie\'s voice boomed like thunder, shaking the very air. The sheer force of his words caused nearby buildings to tremble and collapse into ruins.

More people began to gather. The Teng Clan had nurtured many experts, including many death warriors. However, even those death warriors didn\'t dare take a step forward when facing Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie\'s aura was too terrifying. He looked like a god of death who had descended into the mundane world.

Teng Wanqiu was in the middle of a discussion and was alarmed by the commotion. When he charged out, he released powerful energy that formed into a powerful gale sweeping towards Liu Wuxie.

When Teng Wanqiu appeared in the courtyard and looked at the corpses that littered the ground, his face flashed with murderous intent.

"Liu Wuxie, you\'re courting death!" Teng Wanqiu growled. Although he\'d never met Liu Wuxie in person, he already knew who he was, thanks to the elder at his side.

"Are you surprised to see that I\'m still alive?!" A mocking smile rose on Liu Wuxie\'s lips, and he was determined to erase the Teng Clan.

Teng Wanqiu’s eyes flashed with disdain. "I didn’t expect you to survive this long. Today will be your last, since you dare to intrude on the Teng Clan." Unaware that Liu Wuxie had already killed the Sky Yin Ancestor, Teng Wanqiu assumed that the ancestor simply hadn\'t acted yet.

"Cut the crap, and let\'s fight!" Liu Wuxie couldn\'t be bothered with more words. If he killed Teng Wanqiu and the Teng Clan\'s ancestor, the other clans would eradicate the remaining Teng Clan\'s disciples before long.

"Patriarch, allow us to handle this!" Pei Kun rushed over from the casino upon learning that there was trouble in the Teng Clan.
