Chapter 718 The Gluttonous King's Mark Manifests, Blocking His Path!
Ye Tian walked with ease, surrounded by chaotic energy.
Each step felt like treading on the very fabric of the Great Dao, transforming the immense pressure of the Primordial Chaos into invisible steps.
Its figure flickered repeatedly in the misty fog and heavy force field, moving at an extreme speed.
They have already traversed more than half of the long path of demonic cultivation.
However, just as he was making rapid progress and was about to glimpse the view at the end of the road.
Ahead lay the dense, impenetrable primordial energy and pervasive dark demonic power.
Suddenly, it surged violently like boiling water!
"Roar!!!"
A terrifying roar, seemingly from the primordial era, shattered the void and shook the entire Path of the Demon Spirit!
That roar contained boundless greed, a will to devour and destroy.
This caused Huang Ruoxi and the others, who were watching from afar, to feel their souls tremble.
It was as if I were witnessing the terrifying scene of the end of the universe, where everything was being swallowed up.
The surging energy core, a massive phantom as large as a mountain, was rapidly condensing and solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It was a colossal beast, with the body of a goat and the face of a human, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and an enormous head, its gaping maw seemingly capable of swallowing the sun, moon and stars!
It is one of the Four Fiends of Antiquity, known for devouring all things! Taotie!
But this is a true feast of flesh and blood!
The guardian spirit was born from the endless primordial energy of the Demonic Path and the dark origin left by the Dark Demon King, combined with the battle imprint of some ancient gluttonous king!
Its body was incredibly solid, its scales gleaming with a metallic sheen, and the energy fluctuations emanating from its body had reached the peak of the True God level. Its ferocious aura was overwhelming, even more violent and primal than the mark of the Soul-Hooking Demon!
Most strikingly, right in the center of the broad, mountain-ridge-like back of this Xuanhuang Taotie, there is a huge, vertical eye!
The pupils were made of flesh and blood, interwoven with the purest primordial energy and dark demonic light. Deep within the pupils, countless tiny vortexes seemed to be spinning, devouring light, devouring divine thoughts, and even faintly devouring the surrounding space!
This dark, primordial eye granted the Taotie King a terrifying perception far exceeding that of its peers.
With a bizarre, devouring domain!
"Intruders... halt! Become my food!"
The Gluttonous King let out a muffled mental roar, and the giant eye on its back suddenly locked onto Ye Tian, shooting out a tangible beam of dark yellow light.
Wherever it went, even the primordial energy of Xuanhuang was devoured, creating a vacuum channel!
His massive body moved so fast that it caused the entire Demon Spirit Path to roar, like a living ancient demon mountain, carrying the momentum to crush everything and devour all spirits, as it pounced on Ye Tian!
The giant mouth opened wide, and deep in its throat seemed to be connected to a black hole of nothingness, emitting an irresistible suction force that wanted to swallow Ye Tian and the chaotic energy around him in one gulp!
"How dare a beast block the road?"
Ye Tian's eyes turned cold. Faced with the fierce attack of this peak True God, he not only did not retreat, but took the initiative to meet it!
The chaotic energy and blood around him erupted like billions of volcanoes at the same time, and the golden blood energy illuminated the dim path of the demon spirit!
"Six Paths of Reincarnation, Fist that Subdues All Heavens!"
He unleashed his supreme fist technique once again, but this time, the intent of his fist was more refined and more domineering!
Six black hole-like vortexes of reincarnation emerged behind them, no longer blurry halos of light, but faintly revealing the true phantoms of six ancient worlds!
The chanting of immortals and gods, the bloodshed of Asuras, the roar of all spirits... six completely different powers of reincarnation are added to the fist!
He was straightforward and direct, throwing a punch at the giant maw that the Gluttonous King was trying to devour!
"Boom!!!"
The fist and the swallowing black hole collided fiercely!
Instead of the expected energy explosion, there was a far more terrifying sight!
The terrifying suction force of the Gluttonous King, capable of devouring stars, seemed to encounter its nemesis the moment it came into contact with the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist Intent.
The vortex of reincarnation representing the "Hungry Ghost Realm" suddenly reversed, unleashing an even more terrifying predatory power that devoured the power of the Gluttonous King!
At the same time, the other five fist intents, like five giant hammers that split the heavens, slammed heavily onto the head and mouth of the Taotie King!
"Crack... Boom!"
The sickening sound of bones cracking and energy collapsing rang out simultaneously!
The Gluttonous King let out a painful and incredulous roar, his head, meticulously constructed from the primordial energy of the Yellow Mother and dark magic, was indestructible.
Under Ye Tian's punch, it was like a piece of glass art struck by a heavy hammer.
Starting from the bridge of the nose, countless cracks spread instantly to the entire head, and then exploded with a bang!
The massive headless beast remained frozen in place, its forward-charging posture still in place. The dark, yellow eye on its back trembled violently, filled with absurdity and horror.
If he had full consciousness, he would be utterly horrified at this moment.
How could a Great Emperor in the realm of humanity possess such immense physical strength?!
How could he shatter his peak True God energy avatar with a single punch?!
However, Ye Tian's attacks did not stop.
"The six yang energies of chaos burn away all nothingness!"
He transformed his fist into a palm, palm facing upwards, and six chaotic suns instantly rose into the sky!
These six great suns are no longer in the form they took when fighting the Illusionary Sky Beast. They are more solid, and it seems that there are chaotic gods sitting and chanting scriptures inside them.
It no longer emits simple light and heat, but a supreme Taoist charm of "purification", "returning to the origin" and "returning to the source"!
The six yang energies rotated, transforming into a natural chaotic furnace, from which endless chaotic true fire descended.
In an instant, it enveloped the tasty king's mangled body and the giant eye on its back that was trying to escape!
"Zizzizi!"
Like lingering snow meeting the blazing sun!
The Taotie King's powerful body, composed of the Primordial Chaos Qi and Dark Demonic Energy, emitted a mournful energy cry as it was scorched by the True Fire of the Six Yangs of Chaos.
It quickly dissolved and vaporized, being refined into the most primordial chaotic energy, which actually replenished Ye Tian's previous consumption.
The giant eye on its back flashed wildly, shooting out beams of dark yellow light that attempted to dismantle the Chaos Fire, but they were like mud oxen sinking into the sea, failing to even create a ripple.
Finally, with a desperate scream, it shattered with a bang, turning into pure energy that was devoured by the Chaos Six Yangs.
In just a few breaths, Ye Tian easily and effortlessly destroyed and refined the guardian spirit of the Taotie King, a peak True God level being, with a few punches and kicks, leaving not even a trace behind!
The Path of the Demon Spirit was deathly silent, with only the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang still flowing slowly, but it seemed to carry a trace of awe.
In the distance, Huang Ruoxi, Su Qinglian, Luo Ningshuang, and Xiao Yan were already dumbfounded, as if they were clay sculptures.
"This...is it over?"
Xiao Yan's throat was dry, and he could barely speak. That was the peak of True God!
In the previous battle against the Soul-Hooking Demon, although the Divine Child was strong, it still took a fierce battle to kill him.
But now, facing the Taotie King, who is also at the peak of True God and even has a more ferocious aura, he is actually... so easily defeated?
"Young Master's strength... has improved too quickly! Breaking through the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm has resulted in such a qualitative change?"
Luo Ningshuang's cool voice trembled slightly; she couldn't comprehend this rate of growth at all.
Su Qinglian's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she took a deep breath.
"It's not just because of his improved cultivation level; it's because Young Master's control over his own power and his comprehension of the Chaos Dao have reached a completely new level! Didn't you notice? He defeated this Gluttonous King without even using his full strength!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. After careful recollection, they realized that Ye Tian had indeed only used the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist and the Chaos Six Yang Palm, and he did so with ease, as if it were a casual remark, far from being at his wit's end.
His unfathomable Chaos Body origin, his mysterious Heavenly Demon Sword, his all-suppressing Human Emperor's Brush... he has never revealed any of his trump cards!
Huang Ruoxi gazed at the white-clad figure whose aura seemed to have become even more profound after refining the Taotie King's essence, and sighed softly.
"We... are finding it increasingly difficult to fathom the young master's true strength. Just what is the extent of his combat power?"
The Dark Blade Sprite had reappeared at some point, hovering beside the group. Watching Ye Tian's relaxed figure, its voice was filled with complex emotions and certainty.
"His true combat strength? Ha... If he uses all his trump cards, even an ordinary person who has just entered the God King realm might not be able to gain the upper hand against him, relying on that Human Emperor's Brush!"
"With the body of an emperor, he stands shoulder to shoulder with a god-king! How many people throughout countless ages could achieve this?"
Amidst the endless shock and emotion of the crowd, Ye Tian had completely refined the essence left behind by the Gluttonous King.
Without stopping, the chaotic light around him grew ever brighter as he steadily made his way toward the seemingly indistinct end of the Path of the Demon Spirit.
The Path of Demonic Spirits is filled with the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang, as deep and heavy as an abyss, enough to crush the eternal blue sky.
Even ordinary cultivators, even those at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, would feel as if they were walking on thin ice when they reached this place, taking each step with a bow and moving forward with great difficulty.
Each step required an immense expenditure of divine power to withstand the terrifying pressure that increased exponentially.
However, Ye Tian seemed to be walking in a realm of nothingness.
Under the gazes of the crowd, who were still reeling from the shock of him smashing the Gluttonous King with a single punch and palm strike.
He moved again.
Without any preparation or buildup, it simply happened naturally, and another step was taken.
This step was completely different from the previous one, which was as swift as lightning and covered dozens of steps.
His steps remained composed, his white robes spotless, and the chaotic aura swirling around him no longer raged outwards.
Instead, he became even more reserved, as if he were draped in a veil of chaos as thin as a cicada's wing, yet containing the mysteries of the heavens.
He seemed to merge with this heavy domain composed of primordial energy, becoming a part of the law of "weight," yet transcending it.
One step landed, without a sound.
But the moment his foot touched the ancient road surface, something unexpected happened!
The void around him seemed to transform into a calm lake surface where a pebble had been thrown in, rippling out visible chaotic waves.
The thick, cloud-like, all-suppressing primordial energy, upon touching this chaotic ripple, seemed to come alive, spontaneously separating to both sides to form a short but straight passage!
Being forcibly pushed aside is more like... surrendering, giving way!
Ye Tian's figure moved through the automatically separating passage of the Xuanhuang Mother Qi, like a fish swimming in water or a shooting star streaking across the night sky. In one step, his figure appeared dozens of steps away!
It was as if he was carrying the pressure as he moved forward, and this path of demons was actively bearing his footsteps, sending him to the end!
"This...how is this possible?!"
Xiao Yan rubbed his eyes violently, almost thinking he was hallucinating.
After the Gluttonous King was defeated, he could clearly feel that the oppressive aura emanating from the road ahead had not diminished at all.
Instead, because a certain balance was broken, it became even more terrifying and profound.
Logically, Ye Tian should have faced even greater difficulties on his journey, but the scene before him completely overturned his understanding!
"Ignore the pressure... no, not ignore it!"
Su Qinglian's beautiful eyes sparkled with wisdom. Possessing the Lotus Heart Dao Body, she was particularly sensitive to energy and laws.
"It's fusion! It's mastery! With the supreme Chaos Dao, the young master temporarily assimilated the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Laws of a portion of the area, making them no longer an obstacle, but rather a driving force!"
Luo Ningshuang's cherry lips parted slightly, her cool and aloof face filled with disbelief.
"The Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang is the foundation of the creation of heaven and earth, the source of all things, and its laws are so stable and domineering."
"To think it could be assimilated and controlled? Just what immense power does the young master's chaotic body possess?"
Huang Ruoxi stared blankly at the figure that strolled like a god in the Xuanhuang Mother Qi. Her red lips parted slightly, and in the end, it turned into a soft whisper filled with endless shock and admiration.
"This... is already a miracle."
Yes, a miracle!
With a human body, he wields power over chaos and commands the primordial chaos!
If this isn’t a miracle, then what is?
The Dark Blade Sprite had long forgotten to flap its wings, hovering blankly in the air, unable to comprehend what was happening before its eyes, even with its ancient knowledge inherited from the Dark Demon King.
He murmured, "A monster... truly a monster... If Master's mark had any consciousness, I'm afraid even his Dao heart would be unstable..."
Just as everyone was deeply moved by Ye Tian's unbelievable way of moving forward, and almost wanted to worship him,
Changes occur again!
"Ouch!!!"
A terrifying roar, even more violent and ferocious than the previous Taotie King, seemingly capable of shattering stars and reshaping the cycle of reincarnation, came from further ahead on the Path of Demons.
The area that almost touched the light source at the end of the tunnel suddenly erupted!
That voice contained extreme chaos, slaughter, and a destructive will to trample everything!
With a roar, the extremely dense primordial energy and dark demonic power in front of them converged wildly, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!
This time, the speed of the gathering was even faster, and the momentum was even more terrifying!
The outline of a colossal creature rapidly materialized amidst the surging energy!
It is shaped like a tiger, as large as a mountain, and its entire body is covered with dark golden scales. Each scale is the size of a shield, with sharp edges and shimmering with a cold metallic luster.
It has a pair of enormous fleshy wings that blot out the sky, with bony spikes on the wings and the laws of destruction swirling around them.
What's most chilling is his pair of enormous, blood-red eyes!
Those eyes were no longer just fierce; they seemed to reflect an endless sea of blood, with billions of bones floating in and out, and burning with an inextinguishable flame of destruction!
Wherever the eye could see, the void crumbled on its own, and the laws of nature cried out and retreated.
A terrifying Daoist aura, capable of ending all things and annihilating all spirits, spread like a tide.
Even Huang Ruoxi and the others in the distance felt a stinging pain in their souls, as if their life force would be taken away by that gaze at any moment!
Qiongqi!
One of the Four Fiends of Antiquity, he is in charge of war and slaughter, and represents the king of ferocious beasts who is the most evil and wicked!
Moreover, the aura of this Qiongqi mark, condensed from the Primordial Chaos Qi and the Dark Origin, has already surpassed the limit of the peak of True God and faintly touched the edge of the God King's domain!
Although he was a true god-king, his ferocity was many times greater than that of the previous Taotie King!
His scarlet eyes, like two blood moons, instantly locked onto Ye Tian, who was riding the Xuanhuang Mother Qi.
It was filled with brutality and an extreme, provoked rage!
"Insects... how dare you blaspheme the divine path?!"
He let out a muffled mental roar, and his wings flapped violently!
"boom!!!"
The entire Demon Spirit Path shook violently, and the endless Xuanhuang Mother Qi was stirred up by him, transforming into billions of Xuanhuang Divine Swords that tore through the sky!
His massive body, like a fallen dark star, carrying the ultimate killing intent to crush the heavens and annihilate everything, pounced towards Ye Tian!
With a swift swing of its claws, the claw wind tore through the ancient blue sky, containing terrifying power that could destroy the very essence of the Great Dao!
This Qiongqi not only wants to block Ye Tian.
We must tear this blasphemer to shreds to uphold the rules and authority of the Demonic Path!
Facing this Qiongqi King, whose aura far surpassed that of the previous ones and whose ferocity was overwhelming.
A hint of interest finally flickered in Ye Tian's usually calm eyes.
"It's a bit interesting."
He stopped his advance, which was wielding the Xuanhuang sword, and the chaotic energy that had been contained within him slowly rose again.
