Chapter 1247: Go to the Next Level
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Shi Yan sat quietly in a cracked stone chamber.
Sha Zhao, Jiao Shan, and Jiao Hai were guarding at his door to prevent people from disturbing him.
The acupuncture points in his body throbbed while his body convulsed and relaxed from time to time. His Incipient Extent floating above his head was brilliant with suns, moons, and twinkling stars. Meteors shot across his galaxy as if they were trying to convey some mysterious principles of earth and heaven.
Waves of magical energy rippled from his Incipient Extent like real water, expanding inside the stone chamber.
"Eh, it doesn't feel right..."
Shi Yan frowned and mumbled. He opened his eyes, his face baffled. He tried to think more.
The Devouring power Upanishad was the key to his victory in the battle between Shi Yan and Haig. He had used the black hole in the Incipient Extent to absorb the negative energy in his entire body to release the black hole from his Incipient Extent and get out of the space he had created. Then, it swallowed the meteor created by Metal Star.
At this moment, that meteor had become a star in his Incipient Extent and had his aura. When the star had been devoured by the black hole, every sign of Haig was cleaned.
The Devouring power Upanishad was the major power of Bloodthirsty. It was the core power that covered the Eight Great Inheritances.
Being Bloodthirsty's heir, if he couldn't learn the deepest understanding of Devouring power Upanishad, what could he use to inherit his legacy? What could he use to make the Cortege of Eight submit and support him wholeheartedly?
He had used this magical power Upanishad to gain the utmost triumph in this battle. This battle was also the first time he recognized the profound characteristics of his power Upanishad as it was a magical, unique power in this world. Now, he knew why Devouring was the untold secret of Bloodthirsty.
This power could swallow all things created in the opponent's Incipient Extent. If he hadn't joined this battle, he would have never imagined this ability, not even in his dreams.
Thus, he now knew that he was sitting on a mountain of gold, but he didn't know how to use it. Without a thorough knowledge of Devouring power Upanishad, Shi Yan hadn't considered it very important to him. He was still vague about the supernatural abilities that this power could offer him.
For example, right now, he wanted to use the awesome ability of this power again. He had moved the black hole from the tier of his power Upanishad in his soul altar to the Incipient Extent. Then, he connected the Incipient Extent and the acupuncture points in his entire body...
Shi Yan had tried and failed many times. The power he had performed was like a flower that had already withered. Although he was trying his best to perform it one more time, he gradually lost his spirit and felt like his hands were tied.
It was because he had spent too little time studying the Devouring power Upanishad. He had strenuously cultivated Space, Death and Life, and Star power Upanishad, and his breakthroughs were dependent on these three major powers. At the same time, the Devouring power Upanishad hadn't affected his realm's progress.
He always thought that it was strange, but he didn't actually focus on this power Upanishad as much as the other three.
If one of his three power Upanishads including Space, Star, and Death and Life didn't progress, his realm couldn't increase, either.
But it was different from his Devouring power Upanishad. He didn't need to spend time or efforts to experience it. This power Upanishad didn't require any flash of recognition or deep understanding to break through. As it wasn't bound to his realm, it didn't hold him back even though he didn't cultivate it.
Slowly, he had forgotten this power. He thought that the Devouring power Upanishad was used to swallow the soul altar only. He didn't know much about this marvelous power of his.
Until today...
Today, he suddenly understood that the Devouring power Upanishad didn't only swallow the soul altar. As it was Bloodthirsty's lost secret, it definitely had to contain the most magical power in this world.
Shi Yan was determined to learn it.
Flows of thought flashed in his head. He had continuously simulated and tried to perform that change. Also, he found that he couldn't connect his Incipient Extent with the acupuncture points in his body.
"There must be something stuck somewhere..."
Shi Yan frowned and said to himself while thinking harder.
He then immersed himself in his memories...
At first, he fell into the Dark Forest and soaked himself in the blood pond. In the blood cocoon, he received Bloodthirsty's inheritance.
Then, he got his first marvelous transformation. The dregs and contaminants in his body were all discharged. He got a beam of Original Power in his body. Then, after a fight, his acupuncture points automatically gathered and filtered the Essence Qi from the dead warriors of the Mo family. The refined energy from his acupuncture points had strengthened himself.
It could be said that all the things he got today, his realm and his power, was because of the merit of his changed acupuncture points.
Previously, he thought that it was the Death power Upanishad by Xuan He, the Chief of the Death Force, that allowed his acupuncture points to take in the Essence Qi of the dead.
Today, seeing the marvelous feature of the Devouring power Upanishad, he thought about a different possibility: it wasn't the power of the Death power Upanishad. It was a special performance of the Death power Upanishad.
In other words, when the blood in the pond refined his body, he had received the Devouring power Upanishad Inheritance!
The ability of his acupuncture points was from the Devouring. It had nothing to do with Death power Upanishad here!
The Devouring power Upanishad could swallow the Essence Qi from the dead, swallow soul altars, and even the objects in the others' Incipient Extent! What else could it devour?"
He was shocked as he had a flash in his head. The hazy mist in his head was swept away quickly. His mind became clear and bright. The doubts in his heart were all gone.
It turned out that he has received the Devouring power Upanishad right in that cave.
But it was funny that he hadn't recognized it until now. He thought that it was an ability of the Death power Upanishad when his acupuncture points could absorb the Essence Qi of the dead. He didn't realize that it was the nature of Devouring power Upanishad.
Today, he was able to gain all of these because of his magical acupuncture points. In his early cultivation, he didn't need to take the power from the sun or the moon. He just needed the Essence Qi from his acupuncture points to break through. His realm could be broken through quickly and continuously.
This Devouring power Upanishad was what had made him a miracle. However, it was ridiculous that after he had the black hole in his brain, which was the advanced performance of the power, he hadn't tried to invest on and study this power Upanishad.
It turned out that it was the best treasure he had neglected.
As he knew the change of his acupuncture points was an ability of his Devouring power Upanishad, the mist in his head was cleared now.
He chuckled and then urged his Devouring power Upanishad once again.
The Incipient Extent emerged above Shi Yan's head. He changed his thoughts and the black hole slowly appeared in his Incipient Extent. Then, a divine light flashed like a bunch of dry wood ignited. His acupuncture points were triggered!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points and the vortexes in each acupuncture point began to stir. Shortly after, they connected the Incipient Extent and that black hole.
The black hole drifted away from his Incipient Extent. It looked mysterious when it had a powerful suction force as if it could draw all souls in this world into that black mouth. At the same time, Shi Yan's acupuncture points felt so numb. Then, they began to have the same suction force.
The life magnetic field, vitality, earth and heaven energy, energy from the divine crystals, energy from divine weapons and formations around the area stirred up. They became loose from what kept them and they were able to enter his acupuncture points if he wanted to take them in.
The black hole could swallow things in soul form and the acupuncture points could draw the matters with energy. They were both abilities of the Devouring power Upanishad. They just had different forms.
Shi Yan laughed.
Shi Yan urged his God power. The acupuncture points sent him pain when the suction force got stronger.
Inside the mansion, the warriors of the Thousand Fantasy Sect, the Broken Hall, the Heaven River Temple, Mu Wei, and Jiao Mu suddenly felt dizzy. Their host souls seemed to want to leave their soul altars and drift away from their heads. Their Essence Qi in the body also fluctuated. They were freaking out.
"It... this feeling..." Gulian discolored in fright, her face shocked.
Xing Ming paled. He looked at the direction far from them, his face solemn. He took a deep breath. "It... Is it the real power of Bloodthirsty?"
He looked at Lena uncertainly.
Lena's face was bitter as she shook her head. "That year, the warriors eligible to attack that man were killed or disappeared. I wasn't there so I don't actually know how the Devouring power Upanishad is."
Gulian, Xing Ming, Lena, and the leaders of the other forces didn't join the battle that year because their realms hadn't been profound enough at that time.
They could only know how strong Bloodthirsty was from the stories that their teachers and precursors had told them. They hadn't experienced it, so they didn't know how intimidating the real Devouring power Upanishad was. They only knew that this power was almost unrivaled. It was the most evil power known in this vast sea of stars.
It was the First Power that every force and every race agreed on!
At a corner of the mansion, Gillette of the Imperial Dark Tribe looked shocked. His countenance changed dramatically when he turned to look in Shi Yan's direction. "What do you think?" He asked in a low-pitched voice.
Audrey had stood up for a long time ago, her exquisite face filled with fear. "That aura seems to want to swallow everything that was a soul form and matters with energy. It wanted to convert them into his energy. Is it the true Devouring power Upanishad?"
Gillette nodded heavily. He took a deep breath and then said, "That kid... has reached the next level of the Devouring power Upanishad. He's making progress. As he could emit such an aura, he has finally gone to the next level!
"How terrifying is the Devouring power Upanishad?" Audrey screamed in fear.
"You just need to know that Bloodthirsty was surrounded by all of the peerless experts of that time. It was ten thousand years ago. In the end, 90% of them were killed. You can tell why this power Upanishad is considered the strongest and the First Power Upanishad in this world," Gillette forced a smile.
His eyes couldn't hide his fear. "Half of the gravestones you've seen in our holy land are there because of Bloodthirsty."
Audrey paled while listening to him.
The holy land of the Imperial Dark Tribe had gravestones of tribal precursors. Only the strongest warriors of the clan with the greatest contributions could be worshipped in the holy land. The warriors whose gravestones were there used to be earth-shaking experts. Each of them was so intimidating.
However, Bloodthirsty's Devouring power Upanishad had killed half of them. Hearing this, Audrey was aghast.
"No wonder why our Imperial Dark Tribe couldn't rise in that era. Our experts were killed and we had no personnel show up," Audrey sighed, her beautiful eyes pondering.
