Chapter 6: Eight Desolations Heaven-Swallowing Art

For the sake of his grandfather and his parents, Lu Tianyu had to shatter the schemes in these people's hearts.

The Donghuang Clan was already weak, yet they were still scheming against each other for the positions of Saint Son and Clan Head.

If this continued, they would sooner or later be swallowed up by the other seven Huang clans.

Seeing this, the Second Elder immediately said, "What is wrong with one month?"

Fearing that Lu Tianyu might go back on his word, he took out a Blood Pact: "Just in case, let us make a blood oath now!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and many other elders came forward one after another to echo him.

They all shared the same thoughts as the Second Elder.

Just moments ago, they had all carefully investigated.

Lu Tianyu's spiritual roots had vanished, and his foundation was completely ruined.

Never mind one month; even if Lu Tianyu reshaped his dantian now, he would not be able to recover his peak combat strength in three or five years.

Lu Tianyu had no other reliance besides the three killing moves of the Profound Void Mirror.

As long as three people were sent to break these three moves, wouldn't the rest of them be able to crush Lu Tianyu?

Once Lu Tianyu stepped down from the position of Saint Son, through their machinations, Lu Jiuyuan's position would also become unstable.

As for Changmei Laozu, he couldn't very well become the Clan Head himself, and he didn't have many years left to live anyway.

"Fine!"

Seeing this, Lu Tianyu felt even more disheartened: "I must add one more condition: if I win, the resources I win through my own strength in the future shall be mine to distribute freely!"

The elders agreed without hesitation: "Fine!"

Everyone signed the Blood Pact on the spot, and the meeting ended there.

Once the elders had left, Changmei Laozu said angrily, "This bunch only knows how to fight among themselves; what other skills do they have besides that?"

"If it weren't for the fact that I am concerned about the dwindling numbers of my Donghuang Clan, I would have slapped them to death long ago!"

"Yu'er, you have done so much, yet the cohesion that was so hard to build is now gone."

Changmei Laozu was trembling with rage: "I am not even dead yet and these people are already like this; once I die, won't the Donghuang Clan fall apart in an instant?"

"Grandfather, there is no need to be angry; such is human nature!"

Lu Tianyu's eyes burned with intensity: "Rest assured, with me here, such a thing will not happen."

"My spiritual roots are gone, but I can practice body refinement; Grandfather, take a punch from me!"

Hum!

A sharp aura suddenly erupted from his body as he swung a punch toward Changmei Laozu.

After a brief moment of surprise, Changmei Laozu laughed: "Good, good, good; it has been a long time since I sparred with you."

"Let me see your follow-up moves..."

The next second, his eyes widened.

The moment his palm made contact with Lu Tianyu's, he felt a massive force surge toward him.

Thump, thump, thump~

He retreated five or six steps before steadying himself, looking at Lu Tianyu in shock: "This fist of yours is even more powerful than that of a dedicated body refiner."

A smile like that of an old fox appeared on his face: "I knew it, my Yu'er is not that simple."

"Speak, what support do you need!"

Grandfather and grandson shared a tacit understanding; Changmei knew that Lu Tianyu showing him his martial prowess meant he wanted something.

Lu Tianyu smiled and held out his palm: "Gold Essence Stone, Heart of Red Flame, Tiger Eye Profound Crystal, Azure Water Glaze, Flame Jade Stone."

"Additionally, I need Spirit Stones of the Five Elements; the more, the better!"

Changmei Laozu chuckled: "I will find whatever you need, even if I have to break these old bones to get it for you."

Time flew by, and three days passed.

During this period, the news that Lu Tianyu had returned from the forbidden grounds and lost all his cultivation spread throughout the entire Bahuang Star Domain.

Naturally, it also reached the Changheng Star Domain through various channels.

Apart from the Donghuang Clan, the other eight clans were in an uproar and immediately began planning intensely on how to target the Donghuang Clan.

When Lu Tianyu still had his cultivation, the younger generation feared his formidable strength, and with the deterrence of Changmei Laozu, they dared not commit any excessive acts.

Now that Lu Tianyu had become a cripple and the Donghuang Clan was fighting internally, it was the perfect time to erode the Donghuang Clan.

Lu Tianyu knew nothing of this.

He sat cross-legged in a spacious secret chamber, with a pile of five-colored Spirit Stones and stones of the Five Elements stacked before him.

A pitch-black, three-legged, two-eared cauldron hovered above his head, spinning rapidly.

Swish!

Cold light shot from Lu Tianyu's star-like eyes as his hands formed seals: "Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, devour, refine!"

Hum, hum, hum!

The Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron emitted a humming sound from the ancient past, its pitch-black, ancient runes flowing incessantly.

Clatter!

The pile of materials on the ground was swallowed up one after another, making clinking sounds.

Amidst cracking sounds, the various materials were ground to pieces.

Hum, hum, hum!

Brilliant white, cyan, black, red, and yellow light shot out from the mouth of the cauldron, enveloping Lu Tianyu's entire body.

Lu Tianyu shouted: "Eight Desolations Heaven-Swallowing Art, devour!"

His body slowly lifted off the ground, and a five-colored vortex formed above his head, rotating slowly.

An extremely powerful devouring force erupted from his dantian, swallowing the five-colored energy into his body one after another.

Viewed from the outside.

Lu Tianyu was shrouded in a five-colored halo, looking just like a deity!

The Bahuang Heaven-Devouring Art is a technique Lu Tianyu obtained from refining the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron.

For Lu Tianyu to practice the "Five Dragon Divine Fist" now, the first step is to refine materials of the Five Elements into his body.

His bones are now divine bones, his blood is divine blood, and his Body Refining foundation even surpasses that of Body Refining cultivators.

As the Five Elements energy enters his body, his body will be strengthened once more, allowing him to absorb energy of various attributes.

This would have been completely impossible in the past.

He was originally a single-attribute high-grade metal spiritual root, only able to practice metal-attribute techniques.

Now that Lu Tianyu practices the Bahuang Heaven-Devouring Art, he can devour and absorb energy of any attribute.

Soon, two hours passed.

Lu Tianyu formed a hand seal and shouted: "Condense!"

The Five Elements energy within his chest cavity began to contract and condense toward the center.

Inside Lu Tianyu's chest cavity, a fist-sized five-colored small sphere was successfully condensed.

Strange, ancient runes naturally formed on the small sphere, twisting and flowing.

At the same time.

A terrifying energy erupted from Lu Tianyu's body, sending sand and stones flying.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out.

The array Restriction of the secret chamber shattered instantly, and the entire secret chamber exploded into nothingness!

A massive, ink-black cloud cluster suddenly shrouded the entire sky of the Donghuang Clan.

Daylight turned into night almost in an instant.

In the sky, five streaks of Five Elements Divine Thunder representing the Five Elements condensed and spanned across the firmament.

Lu Tianyu looked up at the sky, his expression changing drastically: "It's over, how could this happen?"

The terrifying pressure from the five-colored thunder completely locked Lu Tianyu in place, leaving him unable to move a muscle.

He had never imagined that fusing Five Elements energy into his body would actually trigger the descent of divine thunder.

Under the shroud of the five-colored divine thunder, he felt like an ant, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

The pressure upon it was too terrifying!

Just at this moment.

Hum!

The Fenghuang Yinjie on his palm suddenly lit up, and a pleasant, melodious female voice rang out:

"Husband, do not panic!"

"I anticipated that your breakthrough would bring down the Five Elements Divine Thunder, so I specially prepared the Five Elements Thunderclap Stone for you to help you survive the Five Elements thunder tribulation!"

"Take out the Thunderclap Stone and refine the raw stone according to the incantation I taught you, and you can easily transcend the tribulation."
