Chapter 1226 - Dragon Flame Fruit
This strike was no mere application of the Nine Heavenly Dragon Forms. Liu Wuxie had fused the Great Frost Mythical Art into it, significantly amplifying its destructive power. The force pierced the White-Armored Earth Dragon, and frost energy surged wildly within it, rampaging through its veins like a thousand blades of ice.
The beast roared in fury, its bellow shaking the gorge as it hurled its massive body forward in a desperate attempt to drag Liu Wuxie into mutual destruction.
The Heretic Blade appeared in Liu Wuxie's palm with a sharp flash. He decisively slashed the Earth Dragon's eyes. An explosion followed as the eyeball burst apart, spraying blood like a fountain. The blade aura drilled deeper, boring into the beast's mind and shattering its consciousness from within.
Only then did Liu Wuxie allow himself to breathe a sigh of relief. He had spent nearly seventy percent of his true essence in this single battle. To bring down the White-Armored Earth Dragon, he played every trump card he possessed except the Heaven-Severing Strike.
This battle proved his current limits; he had the strength to slay an opponent at the ninth-level Origin Conversion Realm. Yet he knew well that astral beasts, despite their terrifying strength, were still easier to kill than human cultivators.
If he faced two ninth-level Origin Conversion experts at once, he would have no choice but to flee.
He summoned the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, its ancient surface gleaming with dark runes. The cauldron opened like a black maw and swallowed the Earth Dragon's massive corpse whole.
Within, the carcass dissolved into a torrent of Origin Conversion Realm laws. Liu Wuxie sealed the essence away, planning to save it for his breakthrough to the sixth-level Transcendent Realm.

Meanwhile, the faces of the four elders in the Primordial Pagoda twisted with shock at the sight of the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron.
"What did you all see?" asked the elder on the right, his voice trembling.
"It's a black hole... a terrifying black hole," the elder on the left muttered, still pale with lingering fear. The moment the black hole appeared, he felt as if the black hole would drag his soul through the crystal wall.
