Creation of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art in the Age of Mythology

This was the end of the Age of Mythology, and the entire universe was ushering in a rare golden age once again.

Countless peerless prodigies were born, stepping onto the ancient starry sky road one after another.

In the Chaos Sea at the Cosmic Frontier Wasteland, Li Ming opened his eyes. His gaze was incomparably bright, resembling a divine sword tearing through the firmament.

He instantly shattered the Heaven and Earth Shackles, broke through the physical bindings, and triggered the Enlightenment Tribulation.

The terrifyingly dreadful thunder rang through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, alarming all living beings.

Numerous powerhouses looked toward the Cosmic Frontier Wasteland, activating the Heaven-Piercing Dharma Eye to observe closely.

"I never expected someone to seek Enlightenment as Supreme so soon in this golden age."

"It seems this golden age is coming to an end!"

Numerous sacred lands and aristocratic families, those white-haired Old Gus, said with sighs.

Even the Dark Supremes in the Forbidden Zone were awakened. Their gazes flickered, staring intently at that figure in the Cosmic Frontier Wasteland.

The terrifyingly dreadful thunder was so violent, far surpassing that of ordinary Enlightenment-seekers.

Li Ming was a transmigrator, and he never expected to transmigrate just like that into the Shrouding the Heavens World, specifically in the late Age of Mythology, near the end of the era.

Supposedly, this era should have been Emperor Zun's most glorious time, yet Li Ming discovered that at this moment there were only the legendary Eight Heavenly Venerables, with no trace of Emperor Zun yet.

Where was Emperor Zun?

Li Ming knew all too well how dangerous this world was.

The hostility of the heaven and earth myriad spirits toward the human race, the Dark Supremes who might appear at any moment to devour the heaven and earth myriad spirits, and the even more terrifying dark strangeness originating from the eerie plateau beyond the world.

Ever since he transmigrated to this world, he had been walking on thin ice.

Because he was simply too weak, and any random powerhouse could take his little life.

This era was a golden age that birthed so many peerless geniuses, yet the one who laughed last turned out to be Li Ming.

Now, he had finally taken the lead in triggering the Enlightenment Tribulation.

As long as he survived the heavenly tribulation, he would be an Enlightenment-seeker of the Age of Mythology.

As long as he became Supreme through Enlightenment and managed to survive, he would possess preliminary self-preservation strength.

As long as he firmly walked the Red Dust Immortal Path step by step, he believed that he could go further.

After all, if an old dog that had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years could become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, could Li Ming possibly be worse than a dog?

Rumble...

The violently rampaging heavenly tribulation was so terrifying that any random bolt of lightning could destroy a galaxy.

Li Ming was like a fish in water amidst the heavenly tribulation. Even though the tribulation was extremely violent, he remained full of confidence.

His heavenly tribulation was very special; it was filled everywhere with blood-colored light that dyed the Chaos Sea crimson.

The figures of tens of thousands of people lingered around his body, as if they were undergoing the tribulation together, appearing extremely weird.

That terrifyingly dreadful heavenly tribulation was much stronger than that of ordinary Enlightenment-seekers.

It looked extremely tragic and bleak. Everything evolved from the thunder carried a blood-colored hue, resembling a surging sea of blood, and countless strands of chaos were dyed red.

Various illusory forms of blood-colored Immortal Spirits appeared, shattering the heavens and splitting the earth.

The terrifyingly dreadful heavenly tribulation seemed intent on completely erasing Li Ming, as if unwilling to let him succeed in crossing the tribulation.

Those hundreds of thousands of figures shone with dazzlingly blinding brilliance, frantically fighting against the heavenly tribulation.

Every single one of the hundreds of thousands of figures was as blazing and intense as the sun.

The figures of these people were extremely weird; there were men and women, old and young, belonging to different eras, and some were even complete skeletons.

It simply looked just like a group of malicious ghosts undergoing a heavenly tribulation.

There were tattered old people who seemed to have just crawled out of graves, carrying a decaying aura.

There were also some young contemporary prodigies, and some even recognized that they were descendants of certain cosmic powerhouse clans, or even Forbidden Zone Heirs.

If there were others who had transmigrated to this era, they would certainly find all of this exceptionally familiar.

Yes, because when Li Ming had first transmigrated to this era, he was merely an ordinary Mortal Body.

His cultivation aptitude was extremely poor, and those sacred lands refused to take him in.

He had relied on a broken scripture passed down to him by an elderly rogue cultivator who adopted him, fighting his way up through sheer force of will.

He did not abandon or give up on himself; he knew that in the future, a genius with super-strong comprehension like the Empress Numinous Treasure would be born.

Even with a very poor constitution, one could still defy the heavens and rise upward.

Thus, based on the descriptions in the original text, he frantically deduced and developed the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art.

Yes, just like the Ruthless Empress, he wanted to create his own Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art.

At the very beginning, it was indeed extremely difficult.

However, relying on his golden finger—a mysterious Bronze Mirror—he successfully rose to prominence.

Not only did he use this Bronze Mirror to conceal his aura, but he also blocked those mysterious curses, frantically digging up graves and robbing tombs to search for treasures and tombs of individuals possessing special constitutions.

He did indeed waste the corpses of many special physiques at the very beginning, but after wasting enough of them, he finally managed to figure out some tricks to it.

Coupled with those rare materials obtained from grave-robbing and tomb-raiding to continuously improve his own body, his physique also underwent continuous evolution and transformation, and his strength grew stronger and stronger.

He was not clear on how this mysterious bronze mirror came to reside within his body.

In any case, he knew that this bronze mirror possessed the mysterious effect of masking his aura and preventing him from being cursed to death.

Scarcely anyone could deduce his whereabouts, nor could they place curses upon him.

This was simply a divine weapon for tomb-raiding, grave-robbing, killing people, and setting fires.

Depending on tomb-raiding and grave-robbing, he not only obtained those heavenly treasures that improved his physique, but he also acquired the origins of various special physiques, and even gained several complete Heavenly Venerable and Supreme Scriptures—as for Sage Scriptures, there were as many as several dozen of them.

With the aid of these scriptures, he frantically deduced the secrets of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art, and actually succeeded in creating a Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art that belonged entirely to him.

Yes, starting from the Saint stage, he had already deduced a Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art unique to himself.

Following that, he was as though boosted by cheats, seeming entirely blessed by Heaven; his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds all the way, and he actually evolved into an Acquired Chaotic Body.

Although it was not a flawless Chaotic Body, but rather a defective version, this was already sufficient.

The Ruthless Empress in the original text had also been a defective Chaotic Body when she attained enlightenment to become an emperor, only becoming a flawless Chaotic Body when she transformed into her Second Lifetime.

Therefore, Li Ming was already extremely satisfied with the level he had reached in his cultivation up to now, relying on the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art he had created himself.

After all, walking from a weak Mortal Body to the present, he had truly shattered his own humble destiny.

The Heavenly Tribulation he encountered when undergoing tribulation now was so terrifying that if an ordinary person who had attained enlightenment were here, they would likely have long since turned to ashes.

Within that incomparably terrifying Heavenly Tribulation of his, phantom images of numerous Immortal Spirits appeared, phantom images of Supremes and Heavenly Venerables appeared, figures of those Immortal Medicines transformed into human form appeared, and even the former phantom images of those True Immortals and Immortal Kings emerged.

What shocked Li Ming even more was that even Immortal Spirits resembling the Primal Ten Evils were manifested by the Heavenly Tribulation, pouncing directly toward him.

This caliber of Heavenly Tribulation was simply too frightening.

Perhaps it was because his Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art defied the heavens too drastically, or perhaps because he had devoured too many origins and incurred curses; in any case, this incomparably terrifying Heavenly Tribulation was truly terrifyingly strong.

Even the Dark Supremes awakened within those Forbidden Zones felt a chill run through their entire bodies.

A Heavenly Tribulation of this tier had even exceeded their cognition.

It was even more terrifying than the Heavenly Tribulation of the Eight Heavenly Venerables they had observed, let alone the tribulations of those Supremes.

Many Dark Supremes even believed that if they were the ones undergoing the tribulation, they would probably have been blasted to ashes long ago.

At this moment, Li Ming's state was exceedingly marvelous. His entire person seemed to have merged into the void, and the corpses of the powerful beings whose origins he had devoured, after having some rare materials added to them, were forcefully refined by him into a Heavenly Demonic Saber, which exhaled and inhaled Chaos as it hovered directly above the crown of his head, bobbing up and down.

Li Ming in the Thunder Sea appeared incomparably ethereal, looking just like a Banished Immortal.

The Myriad Dao of Heaven and Earth launched a frenzied assault, while he resisted with all his might. The Heavenly Demonic Saber above his head frantically devoured the lightning, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.

Li Ming, who had devoured the origins of so many powerful beings, was not some ferocious and hideous fiend; instead, his appearance was exceptionally handsome, exceeding the expectations of many.

Li Ming was radiant like jade and refined beyond the mundane, with a handsomeness enviable enough that he was once hailed as the number-one handsome man of Ziwei Star.

None of this mattered to Li Ming, nor did he care about his appearance; he pursued only his comprehension of the Dao.

Such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation meant that Li Ming's strength was destined to be terrifyingly formidable.

To be able to survive such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation and not be strong would be difficult indeed.

The Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art was indeed detrimental to natural harmony, and every single transformation and upgrade brought a destructive Heavenly Tribulation; yet, Li Ming had slaughtered his way up all the way, truly achieving a defiance of the heavens.

He attained enlightenment as a Supreme with the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art he created himself, experiencing thousands of hardships and dangers along the path, escaping death by a hair's breadth nine times out of ten. Relying on the mysterious bronze mirror, he evaded countless pursuits, weathered countless terrifying tribulations, and survived, finally arriving at this step.

All the figures manifested from vital essence returned entirely into Li Ming's body, melting down and forging into Chaos.

All the figures vanished.

The numerous Dark Supremes looked upon that bizarre scene, unable to keep from clicking their tongues in wonder.

"This person's physique is extremely special, and the Heavenly Tribulation he has stirred up is exceptionally terrifying!"

"It is impossible to judge this person's physique. At first glance it appears thoroughly unremarkable, but upon careful observation it is terrifyingly powerful."

"There seems to be a layer of mist over this person's body, making it impossible for one to see through everything!"

"Judging from the aura emanating from him, it does somewhat resemble the legendary Chaotic Body."

"What? It is actually the legendary Chaotic Body?"

"Back then, that junior with the Chaotic Body named Wang Bo—many people wanted to wait for him to grow up before harvesting him."

"As a result, Boundless Heavenly Venerable could not hold back, taking the lead and forcefully reaping him when he was only at the Eighth Heaven Quasi-Emperor stage. What a pity indeed."

"If this person is also a Chaotic Body..."

"Hmph!..."

The numerous Supremes let out cold snorts one after another, having actually all regarded Li Ming as their own prey, all wishing to devour his origin and vital blood, and even desiring to seize his body.
