Chapter 514 Devouring Demonic Energy

In the sky, as soon as Li Xiaotian finished speaking, dense devouring demonic energy surged out of his body.

In the blink of an eye, the black demonic energy submerged the red torrent in the sky. The entire sky was overcast with dark clouds, filled with a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere.

At this moment, on the ground, everyone’s expressions changed drastically. They thought Li Xiaotian was no match for Li Wenbo, but who would have expected Li Xiaotian to unleash such powerful might in the next moment.

“Devouring Demonic Energy! It’s Li Xiaotian’s Devouring Demonic Energy!”

Only now did everyone recall Li Xiaotian’s infamous ultimate move, Devour! Devour all things, nothing is not devoured!

“Buzz!”

Faintly, a surge of energy rippled outwards. Li Xiaotian’s Devouring Demonic Energy was consuming Li Wenbo’s power.

“Damn it!!! Li Xiaotian!!! You scoundrel! Stop it! What are you doing?!”

Li Wenbo’s roar echoed from within the black clouds, his tone laced with panic. Clearly, he was caught off guard by Li Xiaotian’s move and had lost his composure.

“Damn it! My power!”

Li Wenbo roared, quickly reverting to human form, but a hint of terror flashed across his face. His power was draining!

The black demonic energy permeated every corner. As soon as his energy came into contact with it, it vanished instantly.

“Ahhh!!! Damnable!!!”

Li Wenbo roared. He had long known about Li Xiaotian’s devouring ability, but he never thought the latter could devour his energy.

After all, he cultivated by devouring blood and possessed a method of devouring himself. If Li Xiaotian dared to devour him, he should at least be able to resist the opponent.

But what he hadn’t expected was that Li Xiaotian’s devouring method was so heaven-defying that he had no way to stop it.

“Disperse!!!”

Li Wenbo roared, unleashing a punch that dispersed the demonic energy shrouding him. However, his expression immediately turned grim.

The demonic energy had dispersed, but a significant portion of his power had also been lost. What troubled him even more was that the scattered demonic energy quickly re-gathered.

“Damn it!!! Li Xiaotian, you’re shameless! Fight me head-on if you dare!”

Li Wenbo shouted, his expression contorted. If this continued, his power would keep draining, and Li Xiaotian would never give him a chance to replenish it. This meant he would eventually be worn down by the opponent.

At the same time, he was filled with shock, even some unwillingness. The cultivation techniques of the Blood Sea were already heaven-defying, cultivating by devouring blood, but he hadn’t expected Li Xiaotian’s demonic arts to be even more heaven-defying than his.

However, Li Wenbo soon stabilized his mind, consolidating his power to prevent it from draining. His eyes glinted fiercely as he searched for Li Xiaotian’s figure.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, demonic energy surged behind him, and Li Xiaotian lunged forward with his long saber, slashing down.

“Die!!!”

Li Wenbo roared, punching out without a second thought. This time, he was prepared, not leaking a single trace of energy.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, Li Wenbo was sent flying backward violently. At the same time, a wound appeared on his fist. He was injured.

“Damn it!!! This is impossible!!”

Li Wenbo roared, his face filled with disbelief. Li Xiaotian’s attack power had suddenly become stronger!

But immediately, his expression changed drastically. He let out a low growl, and the wound on his fist healed instantly. This was because a strange energy was devouring his power from the wound.

“Li Xiaotian!!!”

Li Wenbo trembled with rage. This kind of combat was too stifling for him. It felt like punching cotton, making him deeply uncomfortable.

Yet, he was helpless. The surrounding demonic energy not only devoured his power but also obscured his vision, making it impossible to pinpoint Li Xiaotian’s location, forcing him into a defensive stance.

This couldn’t continue! Li Wenbo thought to himself. He didn’t want to passively wait, nor did he want to be defeated by Li Xiaotian. His current situation tied his hands, preventing him from unleashing his full strength.

“Buzz!”

As he was thinking, Li Xiaotian suddenly darted out again, his long saber emitting a dazzling light. A strong sense of danger instantly struck his heart.

“Damn it!”

Li Wenbo’s heart tightened. He intended to block the attack but instantly retracted his hands and retreated sharply.

However, the saber light was faster. Behind Li Wenbo, the demonic energy suddenly became denser, forming a massive black hand that slammed towards him.

“Break!!!”

Li Wenbo roared, his heart growing anxious. He punched towards the black giant hand blocking his path. Li Xiaotian’s saber strike this time was terrifyingly more powerful than before. If he were to take it, he would surely be injured.

“Boom!”

The black giant hand instantly disintegrated, but by then, the long saber had caught up. Li Wenbo had no opportunity to muster another defense.

“Damn it!”

Li Wenbo gritted his teeth and growled, his heart in a panic. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. His right hand instantly severed, transforming into a blood dragon that lunged towards Li Xiaotian’s saber.

Instantly, the energy of the blood dragon formed from his severed right hand rapidly drained. Yet, even so, the blood dragon’s form did not shrink. This was because the amount of energy contained within was too vast; even with some being devoured, it had little impact.

As the blood dragon was about to pounce on Li Xiaotian’s saber, Li Wenbo suddenly roared, and the blood dragon erupted with terrifying fluctuations.

“Boom!”

With a deafening roar, the blood dragon self-destructed. The terrifying explosion swept through the surroundings, rapidly annihilating the demonic energy and also blocking Li Xiaotian’s saber strike.

Not far away, a flash of surprise crossed Li Xiaotian’s eyes. Was Li Wenbo insane? Self-destructing his own energy?

Although this act did indeed destroy some of his Devouring Demonic Energy, the opponent suffered a far greater loss.

However, he didn’t dwell on it. With a thought, the heavenly and earthly energy of Lin Hai City instantly gathered around him, replenishing his consumption. In a blink, the demonic energy annihilated by Li Wenbo’s self-destruction was restored.

To compete with him in terms of consumption, unless they were in the Blood Sea, Li Wenbo would only perish faster.

Li Wenbo also sensed the change, his expression becoming extremely grim. He had deliberately detonated that energy precisely to avoid being devoured by Li Xiaotian.

“Li Xiaotian! You’re forcing me! You’re forcing me!!!”

Li Wenbo roared, his eyes filled with crimson. The next moment, his body disintegrated, and a red torrent surged out, spreading outwards.

It was like a spring gushing forth, with a vast amount of water irrigating the surroundings. In an instant, it formed a pond the size of a basketball court, and it continued to expand rapidly.

The surrounding demonic energy rushed forward, devouring the energy within the blood.

But immediately, a terrifying aura emanated from the blood.

“Explode!!!”

Li Wenbo roared, he had gone mad!

“Rumble!!!”

A massive rumbling sound erupted, engulfing the entire Lin Hai City like thunder, deafeningly loud.

As Li Wenbo detonated his blood, the demonic energy in the sky was rapidly annihilated.

His logic was simple: he would rather self-destruct than be devoured by Li Xiaotian. You can replenish quickly, right? I’ll just desperately detonate my energy. I’ll see if you can still replenish in time.

In the sky, the black clouds quickly vanished, covered by red blood, with booming sounds emanating from the blood intermittently, and terrifying energy spilling out.

Li Xiaotian’s figure also appeared in mid-air. He looked surprised. Li Wenbo’s method of breaking his Devouring Demonic Energy with this move had indeed caught him somewhat off guard.

Although the consumption for him was not significant, it had to be said that the opponent’s actions had indeed prevented him from replenishing his demonic energy. After all, the destructive energy spilling everywhere, while he could also devour it, was difficult to digest. It even required a considerable amount of energy to suppress, making it a loss-making proposition.
