Chapter 992: Devour
Spiritual Realm, underwater palace.
Fang Yuan shuddered and opened his eyes. “Is this backlash from the Heavenly Dao?”
His True Spirit had returned from the Scientific Cultivation Universe with rich rewards.
Unfortunately, before he could devour more of the Heavenly Dao, he had suffered from backlash.
Even so, he had devoured a large amount of nomological power. He had also used the power of the Human Alliance and Cosmic Lifeform Alliance to ruthlessly plunder psionic crystals, pushing his Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique to the peak of level four, returning with many benefits.
At this moment, he could not help looking at his stats window.
“Name: Fang Yuan
Profession: Dream Master
Cultivation: Demon God (Myriad Transformations)
Dao Path: Creation Great Dao, Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao, Impermanence Great Dao
Technique: Pangu Dragon Body [Blood Dragon Thearch Mecha Enhancement], Creation Sword Array [Ninth Sword (100%)]
Specialization: Botany [Level 6] (Maximum), Heavenly Eye Seer Spell, Body of Origin Power, Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique (Level 4)”
“After plundering that world’s Heavenly Dao, I obtained a little bit of authority in it and managed to take that thing out from the universe!”
When he had understood that, Fang Yuan naturally did not hesitate to use all it on the Blood Dragon Thearch.
However, after taking the mecha into the Spiritual Realm, its power was suppressed, and it turned into something similar to a bloodline power that was absorbed by the Pangu Eagle Body.
When Fang Yuan shut his eyes, he saw red armor covering the Pangu True Body. It was a ferocious dragon-like shape with two dragon horns protruding from the helmet.
“Since the Pangu Eagle Body has absorbed the Blood Dragon Thearch, it is truly at large success!” Fang Yuan rejoiced. “There’s still the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique. With the power of the psionic crystals, I finally reached level four…”
However, after the destructive mining, whether the mineral veins in the Devil Galaxy changed from prosperity to decline was not something for Fang Yuan to consider.
“On top of that, the greatest gain was defeating the Abominable Lord, causing destiny to fluctuate…”
Fang Yuan’s expression turned serious. “He’s already figured that I’m in the Spiritual Realm. I don’t have much time!”
While thinking about this, he walked to the main hall with the sealed Infinite Devourer and greeted him cheerfully.
“Hello!”
“Dream Demon, I’ll never let you off!”
Even though Fang Yuan had thrashed him several times, it was clear that the Infinite Devourer had recovered some of his vitality as he roared angrily.
“Is that so? Unfortunately… you won’t have the chance!”
Fang Yuan’s expression was calm as he extended his right arm. “Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique!!!”
Translucent threads entered the array, stretching into the Infinite Devourer, causing him to scream in agony. “This is… nomological threads? Level three of the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique? No! This is level four. That’s impossible! How did you advance so quickly in such a short amount of time?”
The second level of the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique could only devour a portion of a Great Dao’s power but not completely digest a Great Dao, which was why the Infinite Devourer had been fearless earlier.
But now, the Infinite Devourer’s confidence shattered as he begged, “No… please spare me! I spent a lot of effort condensing my Great Dao. If you spare me, I swear by the Mental Demon that I’ll serve you and call you my master. You’ll get a Demon God servant!”
“Sorry… but Demon Gods are volatile. I’m not going to keep a ticking bomb by my side!” Fang Yuan rejected the idea instantly.
As he got to know more Demon Gods, he deeply understood their personalities.
Furthermore, the Infinite Devourer’s Great Dao was very valuable to him, and he could not let it go.
“Ah… I’ll never forgive you!
“I curse you! Even if you devour my Dao path, you’ll be devoured by other Demon Gods in the future!
“You will end up being more miserable than me!”
…
The Infinite Devourer screamed. His resentment seeped out, turning into black Qi that morphed into strange evil beasts. But in the next instant, Fang Yuan eliminated them with Sword Qi.
“Such foolish last words!”
Fang Yuan did not bother to continue talking. He operated the Creation Sword Array with his full power and immediately muted the Infinite Devourer’s voice.
Soon, a Great Dao surfaced.
This Great Dao was gloomy and transparent, and it carried an insatiable desire like a gluttonous giant beast.
That was the Devour Great Dao, the foundation of the Infinite Devourer.
Once he seized the Great Dao’s core, this Demon God immediately vanished, without any chance of coming back to life.
“Devour the Great Dao!”
Fang Yuan’s eyes glowed. The nomological threads wrapped the Great Dao’s core into a cocoon and started to digest it slowly.
“With the Devour Great Dao and Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique in my hands, I don’t think it’s any weaker than the Heaven Devouring Great Dao.
“In particular, the Infinite Devourer had rich accumulations. Coupled with my gains from devouring the Heavenly Dao, it should be enough to push my cultivation to peak Myriad Transformations, one step away from reaching Netherheaven!”
He closed his eyes, and the Creation Great Dao emerged above his head. It had two tributaries, the Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao and Impermanence Great Dao.
The three Great Dao surged at full power. The Devour Great Dao’s core submerged into his body, and he began refining it.
Rumble!
Time seemed to fly, feeling like an entire century had passed when Fang Yuan opened his eyes again. His aura rose rapidly.
“Finally… peak Myriad Transformations. I’m one step away from a Netherheaven Demon God’s Dark Heavenly Dao!”
The Netherheaven realm meant a comprehensive sublimation in one’s fundamental Great Dao. They would devour various Great Daos to perfect their own until it was comparable to a Heavenly Dao.
After completing it, he would be like the Abominable Lord. No matter which world he went to, he would quickly break through its seal and recover most of his strength.
With one thought, he could change heaven and earth, becoming a Creator of a part of a world! He would then be able to use the authority of a Creator God!
“If I ascend to Netherheaven, I’ll be on the same level as the Abominable Lord and able to fight him on equal ground…”
Fang Yuan was a little nervous as he walked to the sea.
All of a sudden, the underwater palace collapsed, as though it had lost its core.
…
The Heavenly Court.
The original Excellency Mount Mang, current Celestial Thearch, was sitting on his throne and accepting the obeisance from the Gods.
The Celestial Thearch looked at the sparse Gods below and sighed in his heart. His voice was like jade clashing as it spread through the room. “A new era begins. We shall start over with a clean slate. All of you Gods present today… if you have great virtues, We shall be generous with promotions!”
The former Celestial Thearch had fallen out of favor, the Mental Demons had wreaked havoc, and the human realm had been in turmoil. The common people and the Gods had suffered terrible casualties, and at least fifty percent of the vitality was lost.
As of today, his position as the Celestial Thearch might have stabilized, but in terms of providence, he was severely lacking compared to his predecessor’s golden age.
Right now, the most urgent task was to consolidate his foundation and slowly recover.
“We abide by the heavenly decree!”
Hearing this, the Gods rejoiced.
Now that the above positions were vacant, it meant that they had an opportunity for promotion. In the Divine Dao, there was only one God for each position. This was a golden opportunity.
Buzz buzz!
At this moment, a green cauldron in the middle of the Heavenly Court suddenly rumbled. Its thunderous sound spread in all directions, being audible as far as the heavenly throne room.
The Gods’ expressions changed, and they knelt.
“The Heavenly Cauldron’s sudden cry is a reflection of a forthcoming calamity. This happened the first time the Mental Demon Realm invaded!”
The Celestial Thearch stood up and said calmly, “In such troubled times, it is even more imperative that you perform your duties diligently. Otherwise, We will sentence you to the heavenly peaks!”
“We do not dare!”
After the Gods withdrew, the Celestial Thearch finally revealed a trace of anxiety. “Is the Heavenly Cauldron’s warning a sign that the upcoming disaster is more dangerous than what happened with the former Celestial Thearch? Hmm? Who is it?”
His purple eyes suddenly turned toward the sky.
“Haha… congratulations, Celestial Thearch!”
Fang Yuan appeared, hovering in midair. He had an elusive atmosphere about him.
“So, it’s Supremacy Creation!” Excellency Mount Mang was expressionless as he asked in a low voice, “Why are you here?”
“To save the day!” Fang Yuan said candidly. “Celestial Thearch, do you sense a great disaster approaching? That’s because a peak Netherheaven Demon God is on his way to the Spiritual Realm…”
In the past, when the Mental Demon Realm had invaded, several Void Amalgamation and Myriad Transformations Demon Gods had caused great damage to the vitality of this world. To date, it had not recovered.
Furthermore, a peak Netherheaven Demon God was a top-class power in the Mental Demon Realm. He would not make a move so casually.
This news immediately made the Celestial Thearch’s expression darken. “Is this true?”
“Didn’t you realize?”
Fang Yuan smiled without affirming or denying. But the Celestial Thearch questioned again, “How are you planning to eliminate this disaster?”
“Simple. Give me Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment!” Fang Yuan emphasized each word. “You lack the means to annihilate him for good, and keeping him in the Heavenly Court restricts your power, so you might as well hand this matter over to me. To be honest, that Netherheaven Demon God is here because of me. If you give me Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment, I’ll leave the Spiritual Realm and ensure that the flames of battle won’t spread to here. If not…”
“You want Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment?” Celestial Thearch’s expression changed.
Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment was not of any value to him.
Although he wanted to devour him, the former Celestial Thearch’s example was still fresh in his mind. He might fall into a scheme and be contaminated.
On the other hand, there was no way he could simply release him. He could only seal him tightly, allowing the Heavenly Dao to whittle his power slowly.
Now, Supremacy Creation wanted to take him away, and it was not impossible to negotiate.
“Just… don’t you think it’s too much to take away a Demon God with only a few simple words?” The Celestial Thearch smiled.
“We can go to the world channel to handle it. After receiving this Demon God, I’ll leave the Spiritual Realm at once. I can swear to this world’s Heavenly Dao!”
Fang Yuan blinked. “If not, I’ll wait for my enemy here. When our battle begins, we’ll destroy everything in our path, forcing instability in this world. Your Majesty the Celestial Thearch, I hope you take kindly to this and tolerate us!”
“How dare you!”
Celestial Thearch’s eyebrow twitched, and an immense pressure slammed down.
With the help of a pseudo Heavenly Dao, it raised his combat power to the equivalent of a Netherheaven Demon God!
At this moment, Fang Yuan’s aura surged. The current Creation Great Dao was infinitely close to perfection. He was only one step away from reaching Netherheaven and was nearly on-par with the Celestial Thearch.
“Unexpectedly… you’ve already reached this level!”
With his strength displayed, Celestial Thearch knew what Fang Yuan was implying. If they could not reach an agreement, he would directly make a move!
