Desolate Devouring Art

Chapter 357 - Plan

Liu Wuxie was inwardly surprised because he didn\'t expect cultivators in the Heavenly Dipper Realm to face the risk of being assimilated into an abyssal devil.

Jian Xing\'er was in the Abyssal Underground World for nearly half a month, and the abyssal energy would assimilate her if she stayed any longer.

"Garbage! Get lost if you can\'t break the spiritual array. Don\'t waste the abyssal emperors\' time!" Liu Wuxie said arrogantly, showing no respect for the five human cultivators.

The obvious sign of being assimilated into an abyssal devil was the fiery temperament, filled with an inner desire to kill at all times.

"You dare call us garbage? You\'re courting death!" The three in the pinnacle True Core Realm were enraged and attacked Liu Wuxie with their swords.

But oddly enough, the surrounding abyssal devils didn\'t stop and even cheered in excitement, urging them to fight.

The abyssal devils loved human blood, and they could drink blood if someone died from the fight.

"Garbage!" Liu Wuxie struck with his palm at the tree, unleashing an overwhelming abyssal energy. He didn\'t even use his weapon to fight. His abyssal energy was mixed with ice energy, which made his attack more terrifying.

This shocked the surrounding abyssal devils because Liu Wuxie\'s abyssal energy was purer and stronger than theirs in terms of quality.

Even the three seventh-grade abyssal devils wore a hint of grave expression. They were high-grade abyssal devils, thus possessing stronger abyssal energy. However, they realized their abyssal energy was inferior to Liu Wuxie\'s in terms of quality.

But despite their high intelligence, they couldn\'t tell that Liu Wuxie was pretending.

The three cultivators froze in place and were blown to smithereens by Liu Wuxie\'s palm strike, not giving the surrounding abyssal devils a chance to feed on human blood.

This terrifying sight was too much for Jian Xing\'er. But the surrounding abyssal devils weren\'t furious and looked even more excited. They were stimulated by the sight of blood and roared in excitement.

The remaining two human cultivators in the Heavenly Dipper Realm had a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at Liu Wuxie. They were left unsettled by Liu Wuxie\'s display of strength.

"You two go!" A seventh-grade abyssal devil spoke, commanding the two human cultivators to fight Liu Wuxie.

The two human cultivators hesitated and were reluctant to fight Liu Wuxie.

"Either he dies, or you two die!" The seventh-grade abyssal devil threatened to kill the two cultivators if they refused.

Faced with no choice, the two human cultivators exchanged glances and drew their weapons to attack Liu Wuxie from both sides.

Although they might be assimilated by abyssal energy, they still retained their consciousness, which meant they were as skilled as ordinary human cultivators.

Their attacks unleashed sword aura, proving that they weren\'t weak. But they were inferior compared to Mu Yongyuan.

Liu Wuxie could even send a cultivator in the fourth level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm flying, not to mention two cultivators in the second level.

Liu Wuxie drew the Heretic Blade, performing the Fourth Fatality Form. The Fatality Blade Art was deadly and unpredictable, instantly beheading the two human cultivators.

An even more terrifying scene soon unfolded as the two corpses shriveled as Liu Wuxie absorbed their blood and energy.

This was even more befitting to the nature of the abyssal devils, and even Jian Xing\'er began to hesitate because Liu Wuxie looked no different from an actual abyssal devil.

The surrounding abyssal devils cheered and roared as though they were the ones winning the fight.

Humans assimilated by abyssal energy could be considered one of the abyssal devils, but they couldn\'t absorb human blood essence, let alone refine abyssal devils.

Not only could Liu Wuxie absorb abyssal energy, but he could even refine abyssal devils. This further confirmed his identity as one of the abyssal devils.

The three seventh-grade abyssal devils had doubts earlier and wanted to let the two human cultivators test Liu Wuxie. But seeing how Liu Wuxie refined abyssal energy dispelled their misgivings completely.

After killing them, Liu Wuxie was the only human left other than Jian Xing\'er. He walked towards the spiritual array but didn\'t store the array flags directly. He spent roughly fifteen minutes before breaking the spiritual array.

The moment the spiritual array broke, the surrounding abyssal devils charged frantically, wanting to devour Jian Xing\'er.

Jian Xing\'er was utterly stunned and terrified. After all, anyone would be scared to see thousands of abyssal devils charging at them.

However, Jian Xing\'er was able to calm down due to Liu Wuxie\'s presence. Even if she had to die, she would at least die with Liu Wuxie.

"Hold on!" Liu Wuxie stood before the abyssal devils, preventing them from taking another step forward.

"Human, get lost! She\'s mine!" Several sixth-grade abyssal devils roared, demanding Liu Wuxie to step aside and not obstruct them.

The fifth-grade abyssal devils had no opportunity to intervene, while the seventh-grade abyssal devils merely observed from the sidelines, finding low-level humans unappealing.

They preferred human cultivators who were in the Heavenly Phase Realm, who were more flavorful.

"Honorable Abyssal Emperors, I have an ingenious idea that I hope the abyssal emperors can consider." Liu Wuxie suddenly bowed to the three seventh-grade abyssal devils. This was because he needed their approval for his plan.

"Go on!" The seventh-grade abyssal devil in the middle said coldly, exuding a chilling aura. If Jian Xing\'er hadn\'t had such a low cultivation, she would\'ve long become their food.

"I\'ve already been corrupted by abyssal energy while she\'s still normal. I wonder what kind of child I will produce with her. Would it be a child with the traits of abyssal devils or spirituality of humans?" Liu Wuxie was too desperate to come up with such an idea. This was because he had encountered many hybrid children who were neither human nor abyssal devil.

While some appeared human, some became abyssal devils. Many inherited traits from humans, and the abyssal devils, and they were often referred to as monsters.

Upon hearing Liu Wuxie\'s idea, Jian Xing\'er\'s eyes widened in shock.

"That\'s a good idea. Do as you say, and you two will be together tonight," The seventh-grade abyssal devil agreed to Liu Wuxie\'s proposal after a brief thought. He was also curious about what kind of offspring would be born between a fallen human and an ordinary human.

Then again, that was only Liu Wuxie\'s tactic to buy time.

The surrounding abyssal devils began to disperse, escorting Liu Wuxie and Jian Xing\'er into the depths of the second level. This was to prevent their escape.

The two walked side by side, and neither resisted.

"Senior sister, I apologize for what happened earlier. This is just a temporary measure," Liu Wuxie secretly communicated with Jian Xing\'er.

"Junior brother, you don\'t have to feel guilty. I know you mean well." Jian Xing\'er wasn\'t angry with him. After all, desperate times called for desperate measures.

After passing through several mountain ranges, a large settlement appeared ahead where countless abyssal devils resided. Before they even got close, Jian Xing\'er\'s body began to tremble, and fear loomed over her heart like a shadow.

This was the same as an abyssal devil entering a human city, which would evoke fear naturally.

"Senior sister, don\'t worry. I will find a way to save you even if it costs me my life." Liu Wuxie promised, ensuring he would keep Jian Xing\'er safe.

There were only two days left until the half-month deadline. If Jian Xing\'er couldn\'t escape by then, she would succumb to the assimilation of the abyssal energy, becoming a mindless killing machine even in death.

Time was running out, and Liu Wuxie had to devise a plan quickly.

The abyssal devils mainly resided in stone houses without roofs. However, more abyssal devils preferred to live in open areas, and male abyssal devils tried to attract the attention of females with their bodies.

Jian Xing\'er covered her eyes and followed closely behind Liu Wuxie. The abyssal devils maintained a barbaric lifestyle, ruled by high-grade abyssal devils. Their hierarchy had a distinct classification.

A seventh-grade abyssal devil governed a thousand sixth-grade abyssal devils, a sixth-grade devil would govern a thousand fifth-grade ones, and so on. As for the strongest tenth-grade abyssal devils, they would rule the entire Abyssal Underground World.

The two were led to a stone house on the verge of collapsing. With no choice, Liu Wuxie and Jian Xing\'er could only swallow their pride and go in. The seventh-grade abyssal devil wouldn\'t give Liu Wuxie the chance to speak whenever he wanted.

"You two will mate according to your human customs tonight!" The seventh-grade abyssal devil said coldly to Liu Wuxie.

"Abyssal emperor, isn\'t this a little too hasty? Humans value emotions, and we need time to develop them." Liu Wuxie lowered his voice and bowed to suppress his murderous intent.

"You\'re already part of the abyssal devil. Those rules can be ignored, or you will be tied up there if you don\'t comply." The seventh-grade abyssal devil pointed to a blood pool up ahead.

Several pillars were at the center of the pool, each with a human bound to it. Their thighs were cut open to drain their blood into the pool. They wouldn\'t die immediately and would be periodically fed with herbs to recover, only to repeat the cycle.

Thousands of abyssal devils surrounded the pool, feeding on the blood. This made Liu Wuxie\'s scalp tingle, as the abyssal devil lacked any shred of humanity.

Everything they did could be considered an abomination by humans. The cultivators bound on the pillars ranged from the Heavenly Phase Realm to the True Core Realm. But the majority were in the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

Whenever they lost too much blood, the extraction process would be paused. This method was crueler than any execution. It would be kinder to kill them outright, but their blood would nourish the demons, who would grow up to hunt humans and let this cycle repeat.

No wonder humans and abyssal devils had irreconcilable feuds, with the ten major sects offering a bounty for their heads.

"Yes, I got it..." Liu Wuxie could only suppress his murderous intent to avoid angering the seventh-grade abyssal devil. But he vowed inwardly to return to the underground world one day to wipe out the Abyssal Underground World.
