Ch. 94 - Taotie Feast VS Thunder Dao Transformation

Bathed in the 'Nine Heavens Thunder', Xuan Tianwen's body trembled slightly.

The 'Nine Heavens Thunder' was overwhelmingly powerful; if not for his contract with the Thunder Flood Dragon, he would have already exploded into oblivion.

He knew very well that the 'Thunder Dao Transformation' alone would not be enough to defeat the 'Taotie Feast'.

Therefore, he also had to rely on himself!!

Xuan Tianwen stood with his spear in hand, his raging power making him seem like a god of thunder.

"You, Ling Qingxue, can break limits, but so can I. So what if it's the 'Taotie Feast'? I will destroy it too!"

Wu Liang coldly snorted, and the ink-black Taotie bloodline within him suddenly erupted.

A cold, ruthless Taotie phantom, filled with endless killing intent, emerged. Its blood-red beastly eyes sent shivers of fear even through the screen.

"Don't look into the Taotie's eyes! Those are formed from the Taotie's bloodline and pure killing intent. The weak will be affected!" Brother Yao hurriedly warned in the livestream.

The Four Fiends were the absolute representatives of slaughter, each a supreme god of carnage.

A true Taotie could shatter a mortal's soul with a single glance and devour everything with a single thought! 

Humans were nothing but ants in front of it.

"Come and fight!!"

Wu Liang roared, and the massive Taotie phantom behind him swung its giant claws fiercely.

Xuan Tianwen gripped his spear tightly in his right hand, unleashing the 'Nine Thunder Scrolls'.

"Nine Thunder Scrolls, Volume Three, Thunder Prison Realm!!"

The 'Nine Thunder Scrolls' was an Imperial Rank mid-grade cultivation technique. Each level came with a terrifyingly powerful martial skill. With his current strength, he could only use the first two scrolls.

But with the enhancement of 'Thunder Dao Transformation', he could break his limits and unleash... four scrolls!!

This was the ultimate killing technique he had prepared for Wu Liang!

Xuan Tianwen refused to believe that Wu Liang, a mere Third Rank mid-stage cultivator, could withstand the power of four volumes of the 'Nine Thunder Scrolls'!

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted, and Xuan Tianwen was thrown backward, while the Taotie phantom remained unmoved.

In terms of raw power, Wu Liang held a major advantage.

The Taotie's body could reach the Ninth Heaven!

The two began their all-out attack. The virtual space was completely filled with two-colored energy, from which various earth-shattering explosions could be heard, yet neither could be clearly seen.

When the two finally revealed themselves, Wu Liang stood atop the Taotie phantom, his aura still at its peak, while in front of him, Xuan Tianwen's body had begun to crack, clearly on the verge of succumbing to the impact of the 'Thunder Dao Transformation'.

"Nine Thunder Scrolls, Volume Four, Thunderous Sun!!"

A thunderous sun rose into the sky, channeling all the lightning power within him.

He couldn't defeat the Taotie in a prolonged battle. The Gluttonous Beast's devouring power could regenerate while fighting, and he could clearly sense Wu Liang stealing his energy throughout the battle, greatly reducing the time he could maintain the 'Thunderous Dao Transformation'.

This final strike... he had to win!!

Wu Liang smiled coldly.

"Is this your strongest attack? So weak! Let me show you the Taotie's... signature move!"

Who was Taotie?

Devouring everything was its essence!

So who cared about the 'Nine Thunder Scrolls'?

Who cared about 'Thunderous Dao Transformation'?

Everything would be consumed!!

The Taotie phantom opened its huge maw, creating a gigantic black hole.

Facing Xuan Tianwen's ultimate strike, Wu Liang intended to use his most ferocious approach and... swallow it whole!

Xuan Tianwen, however, refused to retreat. Retreat meant defeat.

This was a spirit of defiance, a spirit of never giving up!

To win, one must press forward relentlessly!

"Even the strongest devouring power has its limits. With this strike, the Taotie will be pierced!"

He plunged headlong into the black hole, carrying the 'Thunderous Sun'.

This Taotie phantom was the core of Wu Liang's 'Taotie Feast'. If he could break this illusory Taotie, Wu Liang's bloodline divine skill could be interrupted.

How could Wu Liang not understand Xuan Tianwen's intentions?

But he still remained calm!

The effects of the 'Taotie Feast' went beyond simply summoning a Taotie phantom. It also enhanced all his skills and dominated magical beasts with a lower bloodline strength than his.

His 'Damage Reduction' and 'Greed' skills had received epic-level buffs, and the power of his devouring ability was several times stronger than before.

"Losing to me is the most memorable thing in your life!"

"Give me… Everything you have !!"

A terrifying devouring power erupted, engulfing everything. The ground was no longer recognizable.

Countless bolts of lightning coiled around his body, trying to crush him, but the Taotie stood there with his head held high, his pupils filled with an undying ferocity.

Inside the black hole.

Xuan Tianwen was enveloped by a devouring power like an inky tide, and the blazing sun on the tip of his spear was shrinking at a visible speed.

"No! Blast this all to hell!!"

Xuan Tianwen roared, trying to squeeze out every last bit of power from his body.

He struggled frantically, like a madman, but was ultimately annihilated by the ink-like devouring power.

In the end... he lost!

Kyoto No. 2 High School.

Xuan Tianwen disengaged his spiritual energy from the Virtual Heavenly Mirror. His gaze was vacant, and for a long while, he couldn't shake off the despair of defeat.

He had prepared for a long time, even venturing deep into the Thunder Tide Secret Place and unleashing the fourth of the 'Nine Thunder Scrolls', yet... he still lost.

In just one month, Wu Liang had grown from a draw to completely overwhelming him.

Even someone as strong as Xuan Tianwen felt powerless.

"Why is the Taotie so powerful..."

The principal patted his shoulder, a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Let it be. Breaking your limits and unleashing the fourth volume of the 'Nine Thunder Scrolls' in this battle is already quite remarkable. Besides, you didn't lose by much, considering you defeated Ling Qingxue."

Xuan Tianwen looked up, staring blankly at the principal.

"Principal, Ling Qingxue is only at the Second Rank late-stage. If I couldn't even beat her, I'd be a complete loser, wouldn't I? Are you sure you're trying to comfort me?"

The principal smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"I wanted to tell you not to care too much about winning or losing. Martial arts always involve winning and losing. No one can win forever. You must understand that there are always higher levels to reach."

Xuan Tianwen let out a heavy sigh.

This defeat, however, did not break his belief.

He cultivated martial arts not to defeat Wu Liang, nor for any particular person. His creed was to constantly strive to become stronger!

"Geniuses are constantly emerging. I need to work even harder!"

With that, Xuan Tianwen left to continue his cultivation.

Hearing this, Yan Tao and the others were speechless. If the competitors were all geniuses, what would happen to them?

Was there any way for ordinary people like them to survive in this world?

...

In the livestream.

A group of netizens had already started cursing.

From the moment the two unleashed their bloodline divine skills to the end, only a few minutes had passed.

Compared to previous battles, it was too fast. Their adrenaline had barely been released before the battle was over.

What's the difference between this and losing your internet connection while watching a movie?

"Damn it, refund my money! I didn't even get to enjoy it before it ended! Can't it last a little longer?!"

"How could my brother Tianwen lose? There's a conspiracy! It must be Beiming Martial Arts University creating a god to deliberately suppress my brother Tianwen!!"

"You idiot, your brother Tianwen has been swallowed up! You might still find him in the men's restroom in the Virtual Mirror."

The cursing between the two sides escalated, and Brother Yao had no choice but to shut down the livestream.

A smile appeared on his face, his mind still replaying Wu Liang's terrifying devouring power.

"What an interesting divine beast bloodline!"
