Almighty Devouring System

Chapter 35 - Vajra Subduing Dragon

Just moments ago, Wei Mingzhi refrained from tapping into his Astral Energy, relying solely on the augmentation of his Soldier Martial Spirit. Now, with Astral Energy coursing through him and his Movement Technique in full swing, Wei Mingzhi's prowess was on par with Peng Gengkun's.

But this was to be expected. Wei Mingzhi hailed from a noble lineage and was an Inner Sect disciple of the esteemed Flying Cloud Sect. It was only natural for him to have access to some of the most sophisticated Movement Techniques.

As Wei Mingzhi executed his Movement Technique, his relentless pursuit left Peng Gengkun struggling to keep up. The onlookers quickly recognized Wei Mingzhi's dominance in the match.

“After all, Peng Gengkun is just an elite disciple. Luck can only take him so far; he's no match for an Inner Sect disciple!”

“I'm filled with regret! I bet on a miracle happening in this match and gave all my Spirit Stones to the Little Prince! I just hope he doesn't let me down completely…”

“Observing Wei Mingzhi, it's clear that he's not only honed his Martial Soul but has also enhanced his Martial Arts Movement Technique! After this duel, his standing within the Inner Sect is sure to climb even higher!”

The crowd buzzed with commentary, and even the Outer Sect disciples could see Peng Gengkun was at a disadvantage.

Lin Huaqiao and his companions wore looks of concern, but they knew better than to intervene. Peng Gengkun had to secure victory on his own.

“Wei Mingzhi's Movement Technique is formidable, indeed! Luckily, I came prepared, having brought out my cultivation mark. Though it was later consumed by the baby Leviathan, it turned out to be a stroke of luck, enhancing my strength beyond its previous limits! Even if Wei Mingzhi advances to the Soul Refining Stage, I can overpower him with sheer force!”

With this thought, Peng Gengkun halted in his tracks, resolved to settle the battle with his strength.

As their speeds matched, Peng Gengkun channeled his Astral Energy and unleashed it toward Wei Mingzhi without delay.

Wei Mingzhi initially registered surprise, but it quickly gave way to a sneer of disdain.

“Demon Suppressing Ring? Using the Wei family's martial arts against me is bold indeed! But watch as I shatter your pitiful attempt at a Demon Suppressing Ring!”

Wei Mingzhi bellowed, channeling his Astral Energy and responding with his own Demon Suppressing Ring.

The two rings clashed with a resounding impact.

Yet, Peng Gengkun's face betrayed a smug ease.

It took only a moment for Wei Mingzhi to sense that something was amiss.

Both wielded the Demon Suppressing Ring, and Wei Mingzhi's technique was even more refined than Peng Gengkun's. But inexplicably, upon collision, his ring's force proved weaker than Peng Gengkun's! In an instant, Wei Mingzhi felt his Demon Suppressing Ring dissolve into nothingness!

Peng Gengkun's ring then ensnared Wei Mingzhi, binding him on the spot.

Though the ring's power wasn't overwhelming, allowing Wei Mingzhi to break free almost immediately, the defeat stung with unbearable humiliation.

His Demon Suppressing Ring had been undone by Peng Gengkun!

While the spectators couldn't perceive the invisible Astral Energy duel, it was clear from the skirmish that Wei Mingzhi had been bested!

The intricacies were lost on the onlookers, but Peng Gengkun was acutely aware that his Astral Energy was extraordinary. His energy, derived from the Devouring Astral Energy within his Qi Sea, would annihilate any other upon contact.

Thus, despite the similarity of their Demon Suppressing Rings, it was Wei Mingzhi's that ultimately faltered!

Having gauged Wei Mingzhi's capabilities, Peng Gengkun unleashed the Demon Suppressing Ring once more without a moment's delay.

Eyes wide with defiance, Wei Mingzhi declared, “Let's see just how much Astral Energy you possess! You've only reached the Qi Refining Stage. No matter how abundant your energy, it can't surpass that of someone in the Soul Refining Stage! Demon Suppressing Ring, withstand everything!”

Wei Mingzhi channeled his Astral Energy, refusing to accept defeat, and once again deployed the Demon Suppressing Ring.

Yet, the outcome remained unchanged. Wei Mingzhi's Demon Suppressing Ring was overpowered, and Peng Gengkun's remaining ring trapped Wei Mingzhi.

As Wei Mingzhi struggled to break free from the Demon Suppressing Ring, he was astonished to see Peng Gengkun activate the Shocking Wind Step, closing the distance in an instant.

“How can this be! Shouldn't you need to stabilize your Astral Energy? Typically, a person's Astral Energy becomes unstable after just two or three maneuvers. Why aren't you affected…”

Wei Mingzhi was taken aback, but before he could finish his thought, Peng Gengkun executed the Vajra Worshipping Moon technique.

This was the initial stance of the Great Vajra Palm, Vajra Worshipping Moon.

In that instant, even the onlookers felt as though they witnessed a crescent moon ascend in the heavens.

The crowd watched intently as Wei Mingzhi was propelled backward, his figure a portrait of defeat. Yet, despite his disheveled aura, he appeared to have avoided serious injury.

“What's happening here?” Several elders outside the arena sensed something unique about Peng Gengkun's Martial Arts.

“The last time I observed him practicing this Martial Arts, it seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. Now, seeing this technique, I recall that the Flying Cloud Sect had a Martial Arts known as the Great Vajra Palm!”

“Great Vajra Palm!” Chang Jipeng murmured, “Isn't that a Grade Four Martial Arts? It's just that due to its incomplete state, we've been unable to master it, relegating it to Grade One status! I never imagined he would pursue the cultivation of this Martial Arts!”

Chang Jipeng left one thought unspoken.

I never imagined he would actually master this Martial Arts!

After being sent flying by Peng Gengkun's Vajra Worshipping Moon, Wei Mingzhi quickly shook off his astonishment.

“So, you've managed to push me this far! Too bad that was your final ace, wasn't it? You surely don't have enough Astral Energy left!” Wei Mingzhi licked his lips, a fierce grin spreading across his face, “I countered your strike with my Martial Soul. Though my Martial Soul's power has waned, leaving me temporarily unable to harness it, my realm alone makes me more than a match for you!”

Wei Mingzhi licked his lips, a hint of bloodlust flickering in his eyes as he advanced towards Peng Gengkun with deliberate steps, his face etched with menace.

Yet, Peng Gengkun's expression bore a trace of mockery.

“Who told you I've run out of Astral Energy?” Peng Gengkun enunciated each word clearly.

With those words, Peng Gengkun executed the next Martial Arts technique, capturing Wei Mingzhi's astonished gaze.

This move, however, was not the Vajra Worshipping Moon. It was the formidable third form of the Great Vajra Palm: Vajra Subduing Dragon!

Legend tells of a Vajra descending from the heavens, wielding colossal strength to subdue a mighty dragon. Even the Dragon Clan, rulers of the seas and wastelands, were torn asunder by the Vajra.

The Vajra Subduing Dragon, inspired by these ancient myths, boasts incredible power, far surpassing the previous two forms.

Indeed, it is the Vajra Subduing Dragon that elevates the Great Vajra Palm to the status of a Grade Four Martial Arts!

Now, Peng Gengkun had unleashed the Vajra Subduing Dragon.

The most formidable technique of the Great Vajra Palm, the Vajra Subduing Dragon, was now unveiled before the members of the Flying Cloud Sect!

Wei Mingzhi was blasted away by the concentrated Astral Energy before he could even cry out for help. The ferocious Astral Energy shattered his bones and obliterated his organs, extinguishing Wei Mingzhi's life force in an instant.

By the time the Vajra Subduing Dragon had fully faded, Wei Mingzhi lay lifeless.

Having delivered the palm strike, Peng Gengkun found his reserves of Astral Energy nearly depleted.

“The Vajra Subduing Dragon truly lives up to its reputation,” Peng Gengkun reflected. “But it's not something to be used lightly. With the Astral Energy I have left, I could barely manage one strike. Luckily, its overwhelming power was too much for Wei Mingzhi to handle. Now that he's gone, I can harvest some evolution points from him…”

Pondering his next move, Peng Gengkun paced over to Wei Mingzhi's side and absorbed the Growth Value that had dispersed from Wei Mingzhi following his demise.
