Chapter 1613 - Gaze (1) (1/2)
”A Devil Vein?!” Meiying's calm and playful appearance crumbled. ”That's impossible!”
Dyon laughed. ”Aren't I very capable? If you call me elder brother Dyon, I'll plant it within your Bai family's territory.”
”No, no, no. That's too much of a waste. A Devil Vein, even of the lowest grade, needs an entire solar system to itself. If it's a high grade, it needs an entire universe, maybe a few universes to reveal its true potential.”
”Hm? Is that so? The one I found seemed to have only had influence on a very small area though. I couldn't sense it more than ten kilometers away. In fact, I almost missed it until I was right on top of it.”
Meiying's brow furrowed. ”That's even more impossible than the idea of you finding one.”
”Tell me about Devil Veins then.” Dyon asked with curiosity. Back when he found the Devil Vein in the Demon Tiger den, he had been too focused on collecting the corrosive flame to ask the twins about it. Then, afterward, he had his path blocked by the various fire dao geniuses. By the time he finished dealing with all of that, there were only a few more days until the first phase ended. So, he had to rush to the territory of the diamond skinned apes. If he had allowed the second phase to begin, it would have been impossible to defeat them and retrieve the pulse fruits.
All in all, he simply hadn't had the time to delve into its mysteries. After he managed to use the soul tome to collect both it and the corrosive flame, he had too many other things to do and worry about.
”Devil Veins are similar to Spiritual Veins, however their niche abilities make them far more powerful. Spiritual Veins can't grow past a certain size because it destabilizes the energy of a universe and could lead to its collapse, however, Devil Veins don't have that problem.
”The reason Spiritual Veins destabilize universes is because they collect every form of energy into one. If a universe becomes unbalanced in this way, it becomes difficult for it to maintain its laws.
”Once a Spiritual Vein grows to a certain size, its wanton absorption of energy would reach a level that a universe could no longer maintain. It would even be possible for it to pull upon energy the universe had been saving for the distant future, thus shortening its life span.”
Dyon's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Wasn't this similar to what the entity was doing to his home universe? Could he be using concepts of spiritual veins and some other hidden methods to achieve his goal?
This aside, up to now, Dyon knew all of the things Meiying spoke of. In fact, he was also aware that it was possible to use the Energy Core to ignore these limitations. He could also guess with this information why Devil Veins didn't have this limitation.
