934 Mystic Technique (1/2)
”Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique!”
Inside the palace's main hall, Fang Yuan's fingers extended gently, as though he were playing the harp. Rays of light shot out.
The Creation Sword Array revolved, evolving into Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. Furthermore, the Pangu Giant was suppressing him together with the Impermanence Great Dao and the Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao.
Various restrictions silenced the Infinite Devourer.
”Heaven Devourer… means devouring the Heavenly Dao. It seems like the Demon God who created this technique was quite ambitious. Furthermore, he wasn't at the Netherheaven realm either!”
If he had reached the Netherheaven realm, he could directly hunt and devour the Great Daos of other Void Amalgamation and Myriad Transformations Demon Gods. Why would he need to research other techniques?
Only a Demon God below Netherheaven would require such a technique.
”However, if you think about it, the Mental Demon Realm is a harsh environment. It's a dog-eat-dog world…”
By harsh environment, he did not merely mean that the vitality of heaven and earth was scarce. Even worse was facing the threat of death every day!
Those Netherheaven Demon Gods were like top-grade predators. If ordinary Demon Gods did not huddle together to protect one another, find a strong patron, or obtain some reliable treasures or unusual techniques, it would be difficult for them to survive, unsure if they would survive to see the next light of day.
It was no surprise that those Demon Masters and Demon Gods enjoyed exploring other worlds instead.
Other than increasing their strength quickly, doing so was also a form of escape for them!
Away from the Mental Demon Realm, they escaped the terrifying Netherheaven Demon Gods!
”It seems like choosing not to go to the Mental Demon Realm back then was the right call!”
Fang Yuan collected his thoughts and directed his attention to the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique again.
This technique was best for suppressing others. It used a Demon God's Great Dao to infiltrate another Demon God and refine their Dao paths.
As such, it carried a certain level of danger.
”However, after sealing the target, the effect is much better. I've captured the Infinite Devourer for a while now, obtaining quite a lot of vitality from him, and even his Dao path's nomological rules…”
Fang Yuan closed his eyes and pulled up his stats window.
”Name: Fang Yuan
Profession: Dream Master
Cultivation: Demon God (Myriad Transformations)
Pathway: Creation Great Dao, Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao, Impermanence Great Dao
Technique: Pangu Eagle Body [Strengthen Witch Bloodline (1st Tier)], Creation Sword Array [Ninth Sword (100%)]
Specialization: Botany [Level 6] (Maximum), Heavenly Eye Seer Spell, Body of Origin Power, Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique (Level 1)”
”Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique Level 1: Demon God-level mystic technique. With a total of three levels, it uses a Demon God's own Dao path to devour the nomological rules of another Demon God's Great Dao. Can not be used on existences of the same level! Unable to devour a Great Dao's core!”
With the help of his stats window, several symbols representing the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique appeared.
”So the complete Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique has three levels!” Fang Yuan said.
”The first level refines nomological rules. The second level refines the power of a Great Dao. Only the completed third level allows one to refine the core of a Great Dao, thoroughly seizing a Demon God's Great Dao. As for Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment's Heaven Devouring Great Dao, that's probably the fourth level? It might even be the fifth level. In any case, he broke through the limit. It's probably impossible to teach it to others. One can only obtain it by deducing it.
”However, since it's on the stats window, it's still a top-class specialization. I can use proficiency to upgrade it quickly!”
He began cultivating immediately.
In an instant, a month passed. The stats window blurred, and the description for the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique and its symbol changed, becoming even more mysterious.
”Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique Level 2: Demon God-level mystic technique. Uses a Demon God's own Dao path to devour the power of another Demon God's Dao path. Can be used on existences of the same level. Unable to devour a Great Dao's core!”
Nomological rules evolved into a Great Dao. Nomological power was below the power of a Great Dao.
The core was the most crucial part of a Great Dao.
As long as the core remained, one could recover any amount of a Great Dao's power. However, once the core was gone, such as the Great Dao being seized, it could never recover.
”I'll take this opportunity to go all out and get it to level three. Then I'll devour the Infinite Devourer once and for all!”
Fang Yuan revealed a ferocious smile before launching himself into cultivation once again.
One year passed.
When he opened his eyes again, he opened the status window for the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique. He frowned.
”Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique, Level 2 progress: 99.9%?”
Fang Yuan thought carefully. He could not help but bitterly laugh. ”Have I hit a bottleneck?”
He could only increase the efficiency with proficiency, but a bottleneck was not something it could overcome. It was like the time Fang Yuan was in Da Qian. He had to plant a high-level spiritual plant before he could overcome Botany's bottleneck.
At this time, the progress of the technique was stuck here. He had to fulfill a unique condition or devour a particularly rare item before he could truly complete it and start seizing the Dao paths of Demon Gods.
”The Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique has a special characteristic. Every Demon God needs to fulfill a different condition…”
Fang Yuan stood up and frowned. ”This is bad… my senses are telling me that the Spiritual Realm doesn't have the material I need.”
Materials for the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique were precious and rare, not easily obtained.
”I wonder how Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment cultivated… Perhaps he was lucky. Maybe he happened to find the item in the Spiritual Realm or on another Demon God?”
Fang Yuan fell into deep thought. Then he opened the Creation Sword Array.
