Chapter 406 Hope
Demon Realm.
Ice Palace floated high in the sky. Emperor Roc brought Demon Sage Nine Abyss here. Lady Blackmoon and Imperial Lord Starquix stood side by side as they coldly glared at Nine Abyss In particular, Starquix’s aura was weak; his unstable aura spread out in all directions, affecting Nine Abyss.
“I’m useless. I failed to kill Meng Chuan,” said Nine Abyss as he knelt in horror.
His rationality told him that the three Imperial Lords would not kill him to prevent so that the other demon sages wouldn’t be disheartened. However, he was afraid of what would happen when things didn’t go as expected! He knew how important this matter was to the Imperial Lords.
“You are a demon sage that has cultivated for many years. Furthermore, you have a Tribulation treasure. However, you couldn’t even kill a Regis Godfiend?” said Lady Blackmoon with a sneer. “His strength is not inferior to that of a Creation Supremacy. He also has a Tribulation treasure,” explained Nine Abyss immediately. “Furthermore, his Essence Soul mystic technique is extremely powerful. It can transform into a black awl that easily pierced my Essence Soul. I lost 10% of my Essence Soul Origins as a result. I’m afraid it will take me 100 years to recover completely. With my Essence Soul heavily injured, my strength suffered greatly. That’s why I couldn’t do anything to him.”
It was very difficult to recover one’s Essence Soul Origins. For example, Meng Chuan had the Essence Soul Star legacy. It allowed the Essence Soul to self-cultivate; it also granted the Essence Soul an astonishing recovery speed. Meng Chuan only needed two years to recover from the Essence Soul damage that Nine Abyss had suffered.
In those two years, his strength would be in a “damaged” state. This was very dangerous.
For those that didn’t have the Essence Soul Star legacy, one would take decades to recover from the shattering of their Magic Awl. The Magic Awl deserved its name as a forbidden technique. If Meng Chuan had used 30% of his Essence Soul Origins to cultivate the Magic Awl, he would pay ten times the price for shattering it.
“Black awl?” Blackmoon, Starquix, and Roc exchanged looks.
“Magic Awl.” Blackmoon said softly, “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of the Magic Awl mystic technique. Another Godfiend from the Archean Eon Realm has mastered this mystic technique.”
The Magic Awl mystic technique was once the most famous killer move of Archean Eon Realm’s Godfiends that traveled the River of Spacetime. Unlike the Essence Soul Star legacy —which suffered restrictions from the River of Spacetime’s laws-quite a few cultivators practised the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell. The Essence Soul Star legacy had an extremely high threshold. The Magic Awl Forbidden Spell didn’t suffer those restrictions. Most of the human world’s Godfiends-who traveled the River of Spacetime-cultivate this Essence Soul mystic technique.
Unfortunately, no one could cultivate it to perfection. Thus, nobody could make a copy of the technique manual. There was only one copy of the technique manual in the entire human world. The original copy was left in the Heart Sea Palace. It was something Ancestral Master Archean Eon had obtained by chance.
This terrifying forbidden technique was perfected by Essence Tribulation Eminences.
For juniors like Meng Chuan, although they knew how to use it, they didn’t understand the profundities behind it. They only knew how to construct the Essence Soul weapon and carve the runic patterns according to the manual’s description. As for why these runic patterns were constructed in such a manner? They didn’t know. Only when they truly comprehended it could their attainments in this mystic technique match that of the creator. Only then could they make a copy of the technique manual.
However, this forbidden spell had been obtained by Ancestral Master Eon Sea by chance. Excluding the Essence Soul Star legacy, it was the strongest mystic technique. It was suspected to be created by an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence. At the very least, it was created by an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence. Thus, it was very difficult for human descendants to cultivate it to perfection.
