Chapter 495 (2/2)

Presently, Xiang Shaoyun was resting in a cave he had s.n.a.t.c.hed from a Devil Emperor blackstone beast. His body was covered in injuries, and his aura seemed to be in disarray as well. It was obvious he had just ended an intense battle.

”I need to spend some time and refine the devil edge gra.s.s and increase my offensive prowess before doing anything else,” said Xiang Shaoyun to himself as he started the refining process.

The reason Xiang Shaoyun had waited until now before refining the devil edge gra.s.s was because he was now laden with injuries, the perfect condition to use the devil edge gra.s.s. The devil edge gra.s.s could strengthen his meridians and body, and in his current condition, he would be able to better absorb the power of the devil edge gra.s.s.

When he dissolved the devil edge gra.s.s in his astral cosmos sea, strands of sharp energy started coursing through his meridians and acupoints, torturing him with an intense pain as if he was being sliced from within. He did not make a single sound as he resisted the pain and continued the refining process.

He was one who had survived numerous lightning strikes, and he had also undergone the pain of being burned by unique flames. He possessed a far higher endurance than an ordinary person.

He understood clearly that this pain was a sign of the devil edge gra.s.s working on his body. If he could endure it, his meridians would become more tough and durable. His acupoints would expand in size, while his flesh and bones would also become much tougher. This was a process of forceful strengthening that few Kings could endure. Any carelessness could result in one's meridians and acupoints being destroyed during the process.

After an unknown amount of time, the devil edge gra.s.s's power started weakening. At this time, Xiang Shaoyun suddenly sensed a devil blade power coursing in his blood, and a scene of a unique blade energy flying around at an odd trajectory appeared in his head. The blade seemed to be something formed by nature, possessing a boundless might.

He focused on observing the trajectory of the blade and etched it in his brain. The trajectory revealed to him the usage method of the Devil Severing Edge. One generally needed to use devilish energy to power this attack, but a human could also use it with dark energy.

Xiang Shaoyun met both requirements and could fully comprehend this technique. He woke up from his meditation and formed a blade with his palm before hacking sideways.

Bang!

A blade of devilish energy formed and sliced the nearby stone into two before leaving a deep cut on the ground.

”Is this the power of Devil Severing Edge? It is not weaker than any emperor technique. In fact, it is much stronger. This is a strength of a technique formed by nature!” Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in admiration.

Half a month pa.s.sed. Xiang Shaoyun had spent the time battling the numerous devilish beasts while heading toward the location Meng Gansu had told him of. Xiang Shaoyun had also recently completed the fourth wall of his Six Goldplate Manual, fully mastering the second stage. Ordinary Emperors would no longer be able to break through his defenses.

If he continued growing and completed all six walls, transforming the walls into a platemail, he would be able to fully master the emperor technique. Presently, he was at the mid seventh-stage Skysoar Realm. His growth had been rapid.

Xiang Shaoyun knew the reason for his rapid growth. When refining the silver lightning core and yin devil wind, his nine stars had been fully activated.

He traveled while he cultivated, and without realizing it, he was nearing his destination. Suddenly, a humanoid devil appeared before him. The devil stared at him greedily with a pair of l.u.s.tful eyes, as if the only thing the devil wanted was to strip him naked.

”Kekeke, what a st.u.r.dy human. I like it,” said the devil.

When Xiang Shaoyun saw the devil, he s.h.i.+vered and cried out in alarm, ”A yang devouring devil!”
