It could only be said that it was worthy of being a Devouring Dao Beast; even in such pain, it was still praising Lu Ye in its heart.
It couldn't really be considered praise; it was just that Lu Ye was genuinely awesome.
The Devouring Dao Beast screamed for a long time before it finally recovered.
It returned to the side of the Primordial Morning Mist and couldn't help but gasp when it saw it.
Because it could clearly see that the concentration of the Primordial Morning Mist was thinning.
Lu Ye had not only walked into the Primordial Morning Mist but was also genuinely absorbing its power; it was terrifying.
It was unimaginable what kind of effect it would have if the Celestial Venerable were to fight others in the future, with every attack containing the power of the Primordial Morning Mist.
Would anyone still be willing to fight the Celestial Venerable?
Time passed by second by second.
The Primordial Morning Mist was continuously decreasing.
Many white patterns appeared on Lu Ye's Nascent Soul, the patterns were magnificent, possessing a breathtaking beauty.
Lu Ye suffered continuously in pain, but his Cultivation of the Dao grew.
On the path of Cultivation of the Dao, what does a little pain matter?
Until, the vast area of Primordial Morning Mist disappeared, the last wisp of Primordial Morning Mist was absorbed into Lu Ye's mouth and nose.
A clear and profound expression of relief appeared on Lu Ye's face.
It was too difficult, truly too difficult.
However, fortunately, everything was over.
Lu Ye calmed his turbulent emotions, and the sweat all over his body evaporated instantly.
With a wave of his hand, the treasures previously left behind in the Primordial Morning Mist fell into Lu Ye's hands.
The Primordial Morning Mist had swallowed many cultivators over the years.
There were even Quasi-Emperors who died within it, having been painfully killed alive.
Some people, with no way to escape being hunted, chose to enter the Primordial Morning Mist, but once they entered, they never came out again.
The number wasn't large, but it wasn't small either.
At least, there were tens of thousands of storage rings now in Lu Ye's hands.
Having completed this step.
He appeared before the Devouring Dao Beast.
With a wave of his hand, a large amount of Primordial Morning Mist enveloped the figures of the man and the beast. After refining this Primordial Morning Mist and releasing it again, they finally wouldn't have to endure the pain a second time.
"Master's courage is boundless, this little beast is truly deeply impressed!" the Devouring Dao Beast sincerely praised.
Lu Ye was already accustomed to the Devouring Dao Beast's flattery.
"This matter is complete. Next, let's see the results of my current cultivation. You'll be my sparring partner," Lu Ye said.
The Devouring Dao Beast nodded vigorously and distanced itself from Lu Ye.
Lu Ye's aura fully erupted.
A powerful momentum roared in all directions, causing the Devouring Dao Beast's fur to dance wildly.
The Devouring Dao Beast's eyes widened, what a powerful aura.
As expected of its Master, this aura alone was not to be underestimated.
It let out a low growl, and the aura of a peak Quasi-Emperor also erupted.
The man and the beast hadn't even exchanged blows, yet the mere collision of their auras distorted the Void, with chaotic mist appearing faintly.
The Devouring Dao Beast hadn't yet unleashed its aura and hadn't realized how strong Lu Ye was now, but after unleashing its aura, it felt it most directly.
The Devouring Dao Beast's aura was no match for Lu Ye's aura.
From the moment it began to erupt and expand, it was completely suppressed by Lu Ye's aura in all directions within less than a breath, directly confined to the area around the Devouring Dao Beast.
Lu Ye casually threw a punch, Daoist rhyme flowing.
The Devouring Dao Beast ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) was already extremely serious, giving its all.
"Roar!"
The massive beast claw was like a mountain, striking towards the fist print with all its might.
"Boom!"
A massive collision occurred between the two. Lu Ye's fist print shattered, and the Devouring Dao Beast's body swayed.
Although the fist print exploded, the force rushed into the Devouring Dao Beast's body. The Devouring Dao Beast had to use a large amount of energy to shatter it.
This is...
The Devouring Dao Beast's eyes widened in disbelief. No wonder the Celestial Venerable had to find such a hidden place to fight it.
The Celestial Venerable's True Essence...
He had actually cultivated his True Essence to the level of a Great Emperor while in the Emperor Realm!
The Devouring Dao Beast was certain that this was definitely not the power of True Essence at the Quasi-Emperor level; this was the power of True Essence at the Great Emperor level!
This is the power of a Great Emperor!
Outrageous...
At this moment, the Devouring Dao Beast felt a deep sense of absurdity.
Because throughout history, who could possess True Essence of Great Emperor quality at the Emperor level?
How compressed must it be to reach this level?
It's just outrageous.
However, while the Devouring Dao Beast was in shock, Lu Ye's figure appeared before it.
With a whip kick, the Devouring Dao Beast was sent flying on the spot.
"Don't get distracted, give it your all!" Lu Ye reprimanded.
If he hadn't held back a little just now, the Devouring Dao Beast's head would have been shattered by that kick.
The Devouring Dao Beast shivered.
"Okay!"
Without another word, a massive beam of light was already spat out from the Devouring Dao Beast's mouth.
All the fur on its body turned into steel needles.
Lu Ye's figure rushed into the beam of light, forcefully passing through its very center.
Countless steel needles, too numerous to count, rushed towards Lu Ye. On each steel needle, there was a trace of the Great Dao; this was one of the Devouring Dao Beast's innate divine abilities.
Lu Ye's figure quickly disappeared.
But the steel needles formed from fur seemed to have an automatic tracking function, constantly chasing after Lu Ye.
Because the steel needles were small enough, their speed was very fast.
Actually, Lu Ye had divine abilities that could be faster than the steel needles, but there was no need. He opened his hands, and the Myriad Daos Imperishable Shield was activated.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Massive amounts of steel needles carrying Daoist rhyme fiercely stabbed at the shield.
Looking at the degree of the shield's vibration, the penetrative power and impact force of these steel needles were simply astonishing, belonging to the top tier of Quasi-Emperor attacks.
However, even with billions of steel needles, too many to count, they could not break through Lu Ye's shield in the slightest.
Lu Ye was quite satisfied with this defensive power.
He could easily resist such damage. The energy intensity of a Quasi-Emperor and the energy intensity of a Great Emperor were completely different in quality.
He had also put in a lot of effort to raise the intensity of his Hongmeng Power to this level.
Lu Ye exerted force with his legs, charging towards the Devouring Dao Beast while enduring billions of steel needles. The Devouring Dao Beast realized that this move was ineffective against Lu Ye and decisively switched to a different attack.
The reason the Devouring Dao Beast could be named 'Devouring Dao' was because of its special nature.
"Devour Dao!"
As the ultimate move was unleashed, Lu Ye felt his Cultivation of the Dao instantly decrease by more than thirty percent, and a large portion of the Hongmeng Power within his body disappeared.
It could be said to be a comprehensive decrease.
Conversely, the Devouring Dao Beast's strength surged.
All the energy that Lu Ye lost, along with the Devouring Dao Beast's own energy, converged in the Devouring Dao Beast's mouth.
Lu Ye actually really wanted to use the Celestial Venerable Fist.
But after considering it, he decided against it.
"Supreme Sword Qi!"
The Stone Sword hummed, and a large amount of Hongmeng Power was injected into it. The Stone Sword was brighter than ever before.
A sword was swung out.
The unparalleled sword light seemed capable of cleaving the entire universe in two. This was a beam of sword light imbued with the power of a Great Emperor plus a Great Emperor divine ability.
Seeing this, the Devouring Dao Beast was completely numb...
