Chapter 502 (2/2)

After all, Xiang Shaoyun had given him a large number of devil cores. Like the demons, the devils would be able to grow however fast they wanted so long as they had enough resources to support their growth. That was how Gui Qi had come to grow so fast.

During this time, Xiang Shaoyun's understanding of the numerous battle techniques and combat tactics was also growing rapidly. Nowadays, each of his kills would be completed instantly by making use of a single instant of his opponent's carelessness. He would not give his opponent any chance, and with that, he was able to kill at great efficiency.

Recently, he had also started cultivating a different Imperial Nether Clan's innate ability, the Nether Shadow Evanescence. The Nether Shadow Evanescence was one of the most mysterious innate abilities the Imperial Nether Clan had. Like the Nether Soul Domain, the Nether Shadow Evanescence was one of the three greatest techniques of the Imperial Nether Clan.

This ability was ranked alongside the Nether Soul Domain not because of its prowess, but because of its ability to grant the user invisibility and let them become undetectable. This was most certainly a unique and unmatched secret technique that was akin to a cheat. How many people could actually achieve true invisibility to the point one could be completely undetected? As one of the Four Paramount Devil Clans, the Imperial Nether Clan was capable of that feat.

The Nether Shadow Evanescence was a secret technique that could only be used through the power of one's bloodline. Using this ability, one would be able to become one with the surroundings, becoming formless and shapeless. If one tried escaping while using the Nether Shadow Evanescence, the escape would basically be a success. And if used when attacking, the attack would rarely fail as well. That was how the Nether Shadow Evanescence had come to be known as one of the three greatest abilities of the Imperial Nether Clan.

Although Xiang Shaoyun was not a pure-blooded imperial nether, he had excavated the talents of the Nether Soul Domain since young. That only meant that his bloodline had originated from the purest imperial nether branch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to access the talents of the Nether Soul Domain at such a young age.

Now that he had consumed the blood essence of a pure imperial nether prince, the purity of his bloodline had further increased, awakening more of the clan's innate abilities in him. That proved that his bloodline was now with a high purity, allowing him to cultivate yet another one of the three greatest abilities.

Xiang Shaoyun had also been frequently making use of his bloodline power in battles recently, allowing him to further increase comprehension of the profundities of his bloodline. All that was in preparation to cultivate the Nether Shadow Evanescence. After spending some time in cultivation, he finally grasped the essence of this ability.

The Imperial Nether Clan was able to use the Nether Shadow Evanescence due to a unique attribute in their bloodline, the attribute of invisibility. The bloodline was capable of allowing one's body to have the same frequency with one's surroundings, achieving the effect of invisibility. This was an ability exclusive to them. Of course, there was a limit to the amount of time one could stay invisible. After all, the ability required the support of one's bloodline power.

At present, Xiang Shaoyun was located in an area filled with stones. He stood straight like a spear and took a deep breath, preparing his body for invisibility. After a short while, he muttered, ”Bloodline, activate!”

At that command, his blood roiled, and an odd transformation started occurring from a concentration of blood at a corner of his body. Abruptly, his body started blending into nature, becoming undetectable.

It was at this instant that Xiang Shaoyun started running toward a nearby Devil Emperor. It was a six-horned iron devil, a sixth-stage Devil Emperor residing in the area. It was resting in an open s.p.a.ce, its body as large as a mountain. On its head were six iron horns that looked incomparably tough. A thick coat of iron furs covered its whole body.

A Devil Emperor this powerful was capable of sensing all changes in its surroundings, even when sleeping. Yet Xiang Shaoyun was able to arrive beside it completely undetected.
