Desolate Devouring Art

Chapter 570 - Wiped Out

There was peace for now, but it was only a matter of time before the Ling Clan couldn\'t satisfy the hunger of the Spirit-Devouring Worms after growing to a certain extent, and they would start attacking others in the city.

Ling Feichi ultimately failed to kill Liu Wuxie. Wei Qisheng intercepted him halfway, and the two locked in a fierce battle.

The surrounding stones were flying all around, and some exploded under the pressure of shockwaves. Screams could be heard coming from the surroundings, with more Azure Crimson Gate disciples falling prey to the Spirit-Devouring Worms, dying a horrific death.

"Everyone, think of something! Eliminate the Spirit-Devouring Worms first before the Ling Clan!" Everyone couldn\'t afford to wait any longer because the Spirit-Devouring Worms already showed signs of escaping.

Suddenly, one of the Spirit-Devouring Worms charged at Liu Wuxie, attracted by the vibrant energy in his body.

"Big Brother Liu, watch out!" Chen Ruoyan screamed for Liu Wuxie to get out of the way. The Spirit-Devouring Worms were too terrifying, and anyone who came in contact with them would die.

By the time Murong Yi wanted to react, it was too late. Madam Li stood beside Murong Yi, and her priority in this situation was to ensure her young lady\'s safety.

She only protected Liu Wuxie, hoping he could one day travel to the Western Barren to rescue the patriarch. But the House of Tea Art would crumble if anything happened to the young lady.

Jian Xing\'er was on the verge of tears, watching helplessly as the Spirit-Devouring Worm burrowed into Liu Wuxie\'s body. Strangely, Liu Wuxie didn\'t bother dodging when he could easily dodge the Spirit-Devouring Worm\'s attack with his speed.

"Hahaha...Liu Wuxie, you\'re dead!" Ling Feichi laughed heartily. After exchanging blows with Wei Qisheng, he quickly retreated to a distant spot without attempting to escape.

Li Hongda\'s lips curled into a sinister smile with the Azure Crimson Gate disciples cheering. They were eager to watch Liu Wuxie die, preferably at the hands of the Spirit-Devouring Worm. The situation developed as they wanted because the Spirit-Devouring Worm targeted Liu Wuxie.

"Perhaps you\'ll be disappointed!" Liu Wuxie said calmly after a long moment. Not only did he remain silent, but there were no visible changes to his body whatsoever. The Spirit-Devouring Worm had vanished after entering his body.

"How is that possible? Where\'s the Spirit-Devouring Worm?!" Ling Feichi\'s face froze, utterly shocked by this sight that unfolded before him.

Not just him, but the other cultivators were also dumbfounded. It defied all logic when there was no reaction after the Spirit-Devouring Worm entered Liu Wuxie\'s body.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Liu Wuxie. Time slowly passed, and Liu Wuxie remained unharmed and showed no discomfort.

"Young lad, you\'re not afraid of the Spirit-Devouring Worms?" Wei Qisheng asked as he approached. If there was a way to suppress the Spirit-Devouring Worms, it would be a significant breakthrough and contribution to the cultivation world.

The Spirit-Devouring Worms were the cultivation world\'s nightmare. Though thought to have gone extinct for centuries, they couldn\'t believe that the Ling Clan kept so many of them.

"Realgar essence can contain the Spirit-Devouring Worms. You can give it a try," Liu Wuxie said. He naturally wouldn\'t reveal the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron\'s ability to devour everything, and the worm had long been refined.

He found a way to suppress the Spirit-Devouring Worms from his memory. After devouring the Spirit-Devouring Worm’s energy, he noticed that the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron\'s devouring speed had increased. The two had common traits: devouring and refining.

"Quick, find some realgar essence!" Wei Qisheng yelled, and people quickly rushed over to search for it.

Serene Sea City had many shops, and a few droplets of realgar essence were soon found in less than fifteen minutes. Spirit-Devouring worms were still left on the ground, searching for their next target with their eyes glowing red.

"What should we do next?" After obtaining it, Wei Qisheng didn\'t know how to use the realgar essence and turned to Liu Wuxie for guidance.

At this moment, Liu Wuxie became the city\'s savior. Without him, most of the cultivators in Serene Sea City would be dead.

"Set up a barrier to prevent them from escaping and dissolve the realgar essence in water before sprinkling on them. It will kill them," Liu Wuxie explained. The Spirit-Devouring Worms were too terrifying, and even he would\'ve met his end if he didn\'t have the memories of an Immortal Emperor and the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron.

Several Nascent Transformation Realm experts quickly moved to set up a barrier to isolate the worms. Despite their feud and grudges, they only had one enemy now: the Spirit-Devouring Worms.

With the barrier in place, Wei Qisheng mixed the realgar essence with water and formed seals to create a mist that rained down on the Spirit-Devouring Worms.

When the Spirit-Devouring Worms sensed the realgar essence, they became enraged and crashed onto the barrier furiously, trying to break free. But they were forcibly contained within the barrier that held strong.

One of the worms began gnawing at the barrier, creating a massive hole in the blink of an eye that made everyone\'s hearts palpitate.

Spiritual arrays contained powerful spirituality, which could also serve as food for the Spirit-Devouring Worms.

Wei Qisheng sped up the process of spraying the mixture of realgar essence, causing the worms to let out sharp cries. They sounded like banshee wails, sending chills down everyone\'s spines.

After several minutes of tension, the four Spirit-Devouring Worms slowly dissolved into a pool of black water. But they weren\'t entirely dead because the black water continued to wiggle.

"They\'re not dead yet!" Everyone looked at the black water pools with disbelief. The worms were truly worthy of their names as undying worms because they were beginning to merge even after in this state.

"Put them under the hot sun for three days to kill them completely," Liu Wuxie advised quickly. Realgar essence could only suppress the worms, and they would recover if not correctly handled.

The black water pools and the stones beneath them were carried outside and placed under the blazing sun. When everyone saw the black water evaporating, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Ling Clan has violated the taboo to raise Spirit-Devouring Worms. According to the pact agreed upon in the Southern Province, the ten major sects had the right to wipe out the remnants of the Ling Clan. From this moment on, no one from the Ling Clan is allowed to flee Serene Sea City," Wei Qisheng declared, turning to look at Ling Feichi. The Ling Clan\'s upper echelons were all present in the guild.

After dealing with them, they would hunt the Ling Clan\'s remnants before killing all the remaining Spirit-Devouring Worms. There was no rush now that everyone had found a way to deal with the worms.

Many people had nearly fallen victim to the Spirit-Devouring Worms and were filled with hatred as they approached the Ling Clan\'s four remaining upper echelons.

Seeing the inevitable end, Ling Feichi\'s face became ashen. The four of them stood no chance against so many people.

"Kill!" Ling Feichi fell into madness after the death of his son, leading the Ling Clan\'s three elders to charge at Liu Wuxie.

"Liu Wuxie, this is all your fault! Even if we were to die, we\'ll drag you down with us!" Ling Feichi roared. Seeing four cultivators in the Nascent Transformation Realm charging at Liu Wuxie was terrifying.

Surprisingly, experts from the Azure Crimson Gate and Demonic Heart Palace did nothing to stop them, allowing the four to charge at Liu Wuxie. This was a cunning plan to use the Ling Clan to get rid of Liu Wuxie, and they would then destroy the Ling Clan, killing two birds with one stone.

Only Wei Qisheng moved like an eagle, swooping down the sky. He couldn\'t allow anything to happen to Liu Wuxie, the savior of Serene Sea City.

"Go!" Murong Yi finally gave the word. She no longer required any protection with the Spirit-Devouring Worms dead, and she ordered Madam Li to protect Liu Wuxie.

A powerful gust of wind whipped through the hall, lifting all the stones from the ground. Liu Wuxie\'s hair stood on end, facing the immense pressure of four cultivators in the Nascent Transformation Realm charging at him.

However, the Heavenly Dao Book unfurled to neutralize the incoming pressure completely. The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron also appeared to absorb the surrounding laws of the Nascent Transformation Realm.

Madam Li vanished and reappeared before Liu Wuxie. Her immense aura in the Nascent Transformation Realm surged, forming a protective barrier around him.

Liu Wuxie was already connected with the Heavenly Dragon Seal, and he could only use it to tear open an escape route if things went south. He had already gained a lot in Serene Sea City, and leaving now was the best choice.

Ling Feichi\'s attack was reduced to nothing after facing someone in the pinnacle Nascent Transformation Realm.

"Li Hongda, what are you doing? The Ling Clan committed the taboo of the cultivation world by raising Spirit-Devouring Worms. Yet, here you are, holding onto personal grudges. If these four escape, all of you are to be blamed," Wei Qisheng was furious that these people were still fighting among themselves at such a critical moment.

His words resonated with many because now was the time to unite and wipe out the Ling Clan.

"Wipe out the Ling Clan!" Serene Sea City\'s cultivators raised their hands and urged the Nascent Transformation Realm cultivators to join forces.

Wei Qisheng and Madam Li couldn\'t hold off the four by themselves and could only maintain a stalemate at best.

Li Hongda\'s face flushed with rage. He was equal in status to Wei Qisheng, and his anger boiled inside him now that he was being rebuked publicly.

With the pressure increasing, the Azure Crimson Gate\'s reputation would fall if they didn\'t act. Before right and wrong, the Azure Crimson Gate\'s inaction only made everyone\'s heart cold.

Under the growing pressure, the Azure Crimson Gate and Demonic Heart Palace disciples were finally forced to join the battle. The ten major sects had agreed to this pact, and no one dared defy it.

Ling Feichi and the Ling Clan\'s elders were in grave danger, facing so many experts in the Nascent Transformation Realm, and the Ling Clan\'s three elders were already injured. They were swiftly slain by two elders from the Demonic Heart Palace.

Shortly after, Madam Li threw Ling Feichi away with a palm strike before Li Hongda rushed forward to slay him, eager to claim the glory for the Azure Crimson Gate.

With the death of the Ling Clan\'s upper echelons, Serene Sea City was temporarily safe, and the Ling Clan could no longer stir any trouble. All that remained was to find and destroy the remaining Spirit-Devouring Worms in the Ling Clan, returning peace to the city.

Once again, everyone\'s eyes turned to Liu Wuxie, curious to know how he knew that the Ling Clan had committed a taboo by nurturing the Spirit-Devouring Worms.

"Judging from the current situation, Liu Wuxie\'s appraisal skills are superior to the Ling Clan\'s," someone remarked. The stones scattered in the surroundings were slowly put into place because the stone-betting event hadn\'t ended yet.

The Ling Clan\'s appraisal skill had been exposed, and they merely relied on the Spirit-Devouring Worms to become the wealthiest in Serene Sea City. Many greedy eyes turned to Liu Wuxie, wanting to claim his appraisal skill for themselves.

"Liu Wuxie, the Ling Clan may be finished, but there’s still the matter of you killing our Azure Crimson Gate disciples," Li Hongda said coldly as he advanced toward Liu Wuxie.

He had initially planned to use the Ling Clan to eliminate Liu Wuxie, but that plan had fallen apart when the Ling Clan\'s taboo secret was exposed.
