UGB Chapter 5 Devouring Heaven Demon Art
Chapter 5 Devouring Heaven Demon Art
High in the cloudless sky, the Sun-Burning Eagle spread its wings and flew westward at full speed, like lightning, covering several miles in an instant.
This monster's flight speed is even faster than that of a top-tier flying magic weapon.
Yao Guang and Hong Fen sat on the back of the Burning Sun Eagle, one in front of the other. The oncoming gale was like a knife cutting, but it was easily deflected by the flames swirling around the beast, protecting the two people on its back and keeping them safe and sound.
Holding a warm, smooth jade slip, Hongfen felt as if a giant wave was crashing in her heart. Her full breasts heaved, her charming eyes widened, and her jade-like face was filled with disbelief and astonishment.
"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art..." She murmured to herself, her pink lips slightly parted, as if in a dream, "There is such a domineering and wondrous technique in the world, which can actually devour the physique and origin of all living beings, condense an unparalleled demonic body within oneself, and prove the Dao of the Great Emperor..."
"Young Master, what realm is the Great Emperor? Is it even higher than the legendary Nascent Soul stage?" Hongfen sat behind Yao Guang, her head close to his ear, and asked softly.
The profound truths and visions described in this cultivation method were far beyond her comprehension. She could only hope that the young master she admired and was grateful to could provide her with answers, even though he was currently only at the Qi Refining stage. In her eyes, he was as unattainable as a god.
Yao Guang leaned comfortably against the voluptuous embrace of the beauty behind him, feeling her rapidly rising and falling heartbeat and the overwhelming shock she exuded. He couldn't help but smile and say, "The Nascent Soul stage? Even a true immortal in the Immortal Realm is nothing more than an ant in front of a Great Emperor who has attained enlightenment with the Devouring Heaven Demon Art."
He then shook his head: "That realm is too far away for you right now, don't even think about it."
However, Yao Guang only discovered in this life that the essence of the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" lies in the most fundamental understanding and application of the Great Dao of Devouring, rather than being confined to any specific cultivation system. Therefore, even in the "mortal" world, cultivators who take the dantian as their Dao foundation can still cultivate it.
This is completely different from techniques such as "Undying Heavenly Skill" and "Primordial Holy Light Technique," which can only be cultivated through the secret realm system of the "Covering the Sky" method.
Yao Guang readjusted his position in Hongfen's arms, his gaze falling on her tear-filled face, which was brimming with surprise and emotion. He recalled the absurd things that had happened between them in the cave.
Although he didn't have much of an emotional foundation with her, she was, after all, the second woman he had been intimate with after Mo Caihuan. Moreover, because of the "Divine Transcendence Technique," she was extremely loyal to him. If he were to cultivate her with the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art," it would definitely be of great help to his future plans and even his cultivation and enlightenment.
Of course, Yao Guang also deliberately sent the complete Devouring Heaven Demon Art to the Yue Emperor, but that was for another purpose.
Composing himself, Yao Guang said to Hong Fen in a serious tone, "Since you have also seen this skill, you should know that this skill is related to the heavens and earth, and is a demonic path with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. It has three major hidden dangers and must be harmonized with a specific prescription."
In fact, the "Undying Heavenly Art" was created to solve the hidden dangers of the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art," but for cultivators in this world who cannot cultivate the "Undying Heavenly Art," these specific prescriptions are indispensable.
As for whether the medicinal herbs needed for the prescription could be found in the "mortal" world, Yao Guang was not worried. He only needed to find a substitute with similar effects based on the core pharmacology of the prescription.
The joy on her rosy face gradually turned into solemnity: "I understand. The essence of the prescription lies in addressing the three major hidden dangers of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art."
"Firstly, this technique forcibly seizes the essence of living beings, defying the laws of nature. Cultivators will inevitably be tainted by karmic consequences, and the power of the tribulation lightning will increase exponentially when they undergo their heavenly tribulation!"
"Secondly, if one absorbs too many sources of different attributes, it will lead to a conflict and backlash, causing the demonic power to gradually spiral out of control and take over! At best, the cultivator's personality will become distorted; at worst, they will completely lose their original will and become a puppet of the technique that only knows how to devour!"
"Thirdly, during the process of devouring, the resentment and remaining fragments of divine consciousness of the devoured will backfire on the cultivator. If the soul is not firm, it will be attacked by the resentment and remaining consciousness, which will breed inner demons, and the cultivator will die of mental disorder."
After speaking, Hongfen's beautiful eyes remained unblinking. She knew that Yao Guang had also practiced this skill, so he must have a detailed and specific prescription.
A glint of wisdom flashed in Yao Guang's eyes. He gathered his thoughts and slowly spoke:
"The first hidden danger can be temporarily ignored by human cultivators in our world, because apart from demonic beasts undergoing the tribulation of transformation, human cultivators' advancement will not trigger the heavenly tribulation."
Of course, if he were to ascend to the Spirit Realm and face the threat of major or minor heavenly tribulations, he would have to take spiritual medicines that could weaken or counteract the lightning tribulations, but he didn't need to say it now.
"The second hidden danger is that we need to strictly select the objects to devour, only devouring the source with a single attribute or similar and non-conflicting attributes, and then pairing it with spiritual medicine that can eliminate impure power in the body and purify the source, so as to avoid source conflict."
In his previous life, there existed a divine medicine that could reconcile all kinds of fundamental conflicts, but it was something that could not be born in this world, and mentioning it would only cause more trouble.
"As for the third hidden danger, we need spiritual medicines or treasures that can stabilize the soul and weaken the influence of inner demons. Those cultivators who can condense the nascent soul should all have such things."
Hongfen kept these words firmly in her heart. She thought that with her status in the Hehuan Sect, as long as she successfully formed her core, she would surely gain greater power and be able to serve the young master better. Thinking of this, her solemn face gradually became confident and charming.
Before they knew it, the two flew into the territory of Yue Kingdom. Riding the Burning Sun Eagle saved Yao Guang a lot of travel time. Calculating the time, there was still about a month before the Tai Nan Small Meeting. Yao Guang pointed out the direction and let Hong Fen drive the eagle directly to a huge wasteland in the territory of Yue Kingdom.
His target was hidden deep within a great canyon beneath the wasteland, a spirit stone mine where the ancient teleportation array leading to the Chaotic Star Sea lay dormant.
As early as when Yao Guang was planning his scheme, he had sent his mortal spies to investigate based on the scene described in the original work. Since the spirit stone mine often recruited mortal miners, he had already delineated the general area. With Hongfen's help, finding its location was not difficult.
More than ten days later, the two people and the bird flew over the wasteland, where a deep canyon, more than a hundred feet deep, stretched out in front of them.
"Young Master," her beautiful red eyes narrowed slightly, "I sensed the fluctuations of the concealed array, this should be the place."
Yao Guang grunted in agreement: "Go down and find out about the situation of the stationed cultivators. Be careful not to be noticed."
With a slight smile, Hongfen unleashed her colorful ribbons, transforming into a stream of multicolored light as she silently disappeared into the canyon.
Fifteen minutes later, the woman returned on her steed, looking relaxed and with a disdainful smile.
"Young Master, the guards are too weak. There's only an old man in the early Foundation Establishment stage and five or six Qi Refining disciples. I can easily handle them all by myself."
Yao Guang understood, thinking to himself that it was just as described in the original story. It seemed that the seven factions of Yue Kingdom had not paid any attention to this place, which was good news.
"Let's go down, knock them unconscious, and then feed them the Forget-Dust Pill. Don't kill them."
Hongfen chuckled softly: "Yes, ma'am."
During the days they spent together, Yao Guang's approachable and gentle demeanor gradually made her reserved nature disappear, and she transformed back into the alluring and captivating beauty she once was.
