Chapter 460: Three Stages Of Death (2/2)

The majority of geniuses couldn’t do this.

Feiyun began to repair the devil art but this wasn’t an ultimate fix. In order to cultivate this new version, one must also train the Immortal Phoenix Physique till the blood transformation stage.

This was done on purpose. Otherwise, if he were to let the royal clan have such a monstrous merit law, it could be used against him in the future.

“Changing one’s blood will be a prerequisite to cultivating the devil art.” Feiyun spent half a day to find the flaw and another half to fix it.

“Undying Devil Art?” The old man accepted the revision from Feiyun with the new name. He didn’t think that this guy would actually be able to perfect this merit law. After all, many ancestors spent hundreds of years and failed to do so.

The devil art was too profound. This old man required a long time in order to grasp a little bit of it. How could a youth not twenty of age yet be able to understand the profundity, let alone fix it?

The more he read, the more frightened he became. He found that the new principles made sense so he kept nodding his head while reading with multiple epiphanies.

“The Devil Art Of Death is a top technique, I don’t even know the flaws of it. I must take it to the royal palace and show it to the three regal ancestors.” He was quite excited.

“What about me?” Feiyun asked.

“You may descend now. Pick a good candidate and return in two days.” The old man stared deeply at Feiyun before flying into the clouds, disappearing into the mountain in the form of a golden ray.

Feiyun’s eyes turned into fire. He stood on the peak and looked at the continent in full while murmuring: “This royal clan has some frightening foundation. This place alone has several terrorizing auras. All have crazy aptitude on top of reaching an exceedingly high realm.”

He began leaving the mountain. Each step seemed slow but they encompassed several hundred meters of distance. It didn’t take long before he made it out of the ancient path.

This continent was gigantic and couldn’t be seen completely with divine intents.

He came across a village a while after. The majority of the villagers were ordinary people with humble clothes. They relied on farming to live. Of course, a small number were cultivators too.

“These must be mortals taken here by the royal clan as test subjects for the incomplete merit laws.” Feiyun thought to himself.

All powerful cultivation sects did morally-questionable things in the shadows. This was a normal occurrence.

“No wonder why outsiders that fail the examination in this place are forever imprisoned. These secrets can’t be made public.”

Suddenly, a pitiful scream came from the village. A figure more than five meters tall ran outside. His body grew larger then smaller; who knows how much pain he was in? Next, it cracked completely from being overfilled.

“Boom!” He exploded into fleshy bits and blood.

Another failed experiment.

Next, two youths wearing a yellow cloak entered the village. Everyone here referred to them as the “Divine Emissary.”

The two of them spoke to the villagers before taking the incomplete corpse away. Meanwhile, the villagers were prostrating to send them off. They were pious, treating the two youths like gods.

Feiyun was quietly watching the whole thing.

The two youths looked straight at him as they passed by. They got on two rhino-dragons and flew into the sky.

Feiyun continued forward through many remote villages and towns. He saw everything - some were devoured by the incomplete merit laws and became drier than a tree branch. Some directly turned into skeletons while other had their flesh become mush…

These were all test subjects of the royal clan. They have lived on this continent for many generations. In their eyes, the members of the royal clan were gods who gave them merit laws out of love, so that they could possess extraordinary strength.

Meanwhile, the failed subjects were possessed by the devil so they must die.
