Devouring

"Dragon God Physique, Sword Body! Though they're a little weak, they're barely of some use!"

High in the sky, Ye Ming stood suspended in the air and spoke calmly.

The most powerful aspect of the Primordial Demonic Body was that it could devour every physique in the world and seize the origin power of their constitutions. Once it reached its utmost limit, even the strongest Chaos Body and Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo would be unable to compare with the Primordial Demonic Body, and could likewise be devoured.

Though the Sword Body and Dragon God Physique were not among the supreme physiques of the world, they still ranked near the forefront.

Boom!

At that moment, Ye Ming's aura changed. His originally profound eyes turned blacker than ink, immeasurable radiance rose around him, and intricate, mysterious blood-red runes floated in the air. His body seemed to transform into a Black Hole, drawing in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in rolling torrents, devouring and refining all things.

"Y-you... what are you doing?!"

A terrified voice rang out. It was Long Hao. Gravely injured and listless, fear filled his eyes. He felt a palpitating force; the Ye Ming before him seemed to have become a bottomless abyss that would devour everything in the world.

"H-he's devouring the origin power of our physiques!"

Another horrified voice sounded. It was Lin Jian. The origin power of his Sword Body was being stripped away by some strange force.

After their battle, Long Hao and Lin Jian had already suffered grievous injuries. Facing Ye Ming's bizarre power now, neither of them had any strength left to resist.

"Hehe... You should be happy to be devoured by This Imperial Son. This is your honor!"

Ye Ming's smile was incomparably eerie. His demonic body blazed ever more brightly, while a savage expression surfaced on his handsome face, sending chills through everyone's hearts.

At that moment, near Imperial Mountain, countless cultivators in the heavens and on the earth witnessed this scene. Fear surfaced in their eyes as they looked at Ye Ming.

"W-what is that Imperial Son doing?"

Someone cried out in shock.

"Hiss! This seems to be the power of devouring—it's devouring the origins of the Sword Body and Dragon God Physique!"

At this moment, a well-informed Saint Realm expert looked at Ye Ming. His beard and hair were completely white, and his body trembled.

Stripping away the origin power of another person's physique was unheard of and unseen even throughout the entire Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain.

"What... devouring the origin power of another's physique!"

Shocked voices rose one after another.

At that moment, high in the sky.

"Ah..."

Someone roared in terror and fury. It was Long Hao. His broken body became shriveled and sallow; in the blink of an eye, his hair had turned white, and his body had withered. From a spirited young prodigy, he had become a dying Elder.

Lin Jian was the same. As his own power was devoured, the accumulation of many years was now all being used to fulfill another.

In contrast, Ye Ming's aura grew stronger and stronger, and the radiance surrounding his Primordial Demonic Body became ever more dazzling.

It was not only the Primordial Demonic Body that was strengthening. The Spiritual Power around him boiled like a sea and surged like tides. This Spiritual Power came from Long Hao and Lin Jian and was being devoured by Ye Ming, strengthening his cultivation realm.

This sight was far too strange and terrifying.

At that moment, the elders of the Ten Directions Sacred Hall and Azure Sky Dao Sect could no longer endure it and prepared to attack Ye Ming.

Everything had happened too quickly.

They had never expected that, in the blink of an eye, their Holy Son would end up like this. If they waited any longer, they would probably have to erect empty tombs for their Holy Sons—there would not even be bodies left.

"You little beast, you dare use such a vicious method? Die!"

Someone roared in boundless rage and attacked Ye Ming. His aura was incomparably powerful, far beyond what Dao Realm prodigies could compare to. He was a Saint Realm expert, his saintly might blanketing the sky and earth and intimidating the universe. He came from the Ten Directions Sacred Hall.

As the Holy Son of the Ten Directions Sacred Hall, Long Hao's importance to the entire hall was second only to the Sacred Master.

"Quick, save our sect's Dao Son! If such a demon is allowed to grow, he will surely become a calamity for the entire Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain in the future. He absolutely cannot be spared!"

A Saint Realm expert from the Azure Sky Dao Sect also attacked, intending to kill Ye Ming under the banner of slaying demons and defending the Dao.

Lin Jian's importance to the Azure Sky Dao Sect went without saying. If he died, it would be an incomparably severe blow.

Moreover, they believed that Ye Ming would become a calamity for the countless sects of the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain in the future, so they wanted to kill him before he could grow.

At that moment, the experts of the Flying Immortal Sacred Land could no longer stand by either.

"Release our sect's Saintess!"

That was because the Flying Immortal Sacred Land's Saintess, Liu Mingyue, was still slung over Ye Ming's shoulder.

Liu Mingyue was the Saintess of a sacred land, and the goddess in the hearts of many young prodigies of this era.

During the battle just now, before countless cultivators, Ye Ming had carried her over his shoulder, and no one knew how many slaps her raised rear had received...

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The void shook and space shattered. Several Saint Realm experts attacked Ye Ming, carrying incomparable killing intent.

Every Saint Realm expert, even among the Three Thousand Dao Provinces of the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, was an existence who could intimidate an entire region. With a single thought, they could decide the life and death of hundreds of millions of living beings.

So long as Quasi-Emperors did not emerge, Saint Realm experts stood at the absolute peak. As for Great Emperors, they were existences transcending all else, rarely seen throughout the ages.

Three blurry figures appeared above the void, carrying supremely powerful and boundless auras. Their presence was so terrifying that the entire firmament trembled violently and cracked apart.

"Die!"

It was a Palm Seal, gushing with endless radiant runes and blotting out the boundless sky as it bore down upon Ye Ming. The one who attacked was Long Hai, from the Ten Directions Sacred Hall.

With three Saint Realm experts attacking together, an ordinary prodigy would have long since been scared witless. No matter how powerful a prodigy was, they would have to kneel before such beings.

His ink-black hair danced wildly in the void. Ye Ming continued devouring as he looked at the powerful assault with complete calm.

"Hehe, you want to kill me? Are you worthy?"

Ye Ming mocked them.

"Ten Directions Sacred Hall? Flying Immortal Sacred Land? Azure Sky Dao Sect? What are they before our Primordial Forbidden Zone?"

A voice sounded. It was Sixth Elder Blood Soul, who had come alongside Ye Ming. He was incomparably arrogant and did not place the three great sects in his eyes.

"Hmph! Whoever dares harm the Imperial Son shall be killed without mercy!"

The Primordial Forbidden Zone had only dispatched three elders this time, yet it was still not something ordinary sects could compare with. Even renowned cultivation sacred lands like the Ten Directions Sacred Hall, Flying Immortal Sacred Land, and Azure Sky Dao Sect were still not worth mentioning before the Primordial Forbidden Zone.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

High in the sky, six Saint Realm experts clashed. All kinds of radiant runes illuminated heaven and earth, making the firmament quake. The shockwaves that erupted transformed into storms and swept through all directions.

Meanwhile, Ye Ming used the Spiritual Power gained through devouring to break through...
