Chapter 38: The Three Demon-Devouring Arts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After some probing, Zhou Feng finally found out that what he yearned for was on the peak of Bitter Bamboo Peak.

A stone obelisk recorded all the ultimate arts that one could learn on Bitter Bamboo Peak.

However, when Zhou Feng had first gone up the mountain, he was told not to go up under normal circ.u.mstances.

Therefore, he had never visited the peak.

It was not until he heard this news from a Senior Brother. Of course, said Senior Brother had already disappeared.

After devouring another Demon-Devouring Gu, the spiritual power in Zhou Feng’s body became even mottled.

However, the amount of spiritual power and the density of Blood Qi had increased once again.

The two successful hunts had also alerted the other people on Bitter Bamboo Peak.

After all, the people who had gone out with Zhou Feng didn’t return after two consecutive hunts.

Now, the other Senior Brothers and Sisters on Bitter Bamboo Peak no longer regarded him as a newcomer.

Zhou Feng’s hunting plan hit a bottleneck in an instant.

Therefore, taking advantage of this bottleneck, he came to the top of the mountain.

“Demon-Devouring Armor?”

On the stone obelisk, the first thing that was engraved was a defensive art.

This defensive art was called Demon-Devouring Armor. Once it was initiated, it could form a set of armor on the surface of the body.

This armor was completely made up of spiritual power, and its defensive power against other arts was extremely high.

Combined with the tough physical body that was tempered by practicing the Demon-Devouring Technique, one’s physical fighting ability was simply stretched to the limit.

Moreover, this Demon-Devouring Armor was divided into nine layers. With each layer that was upgraded, the armor would become more realistic.

In the end, it didn’t even need to be activated. Once the cultivator encountered damage, it would automatically appear.

It could even isolate toxins and high temperatures. This was definitely a top-notch defensive art.

Unfortunately, it only recorded the cultivation method for the first six levels. The last three levels were not recorded.

Nonetheless, Zhou Feng was delighted with this. He immediately memorized the cultivation method for the first six levels.

‘Demon-Devouring Armor, Old Skin, and Bone Coating… My defense system is practically at full capacity!’

Zhou Feng could not help but imagine his current defense.

Putting aside everything else, his defense and life-saving ability were definitely at full capacity.

With a few pa.s.sive skills and the Demon-Devouring Armor, he was absolutely invincible.

With that, the battle method of exchanging injuries for injuries could continue.

He was already used to this type of fighting style, relying on his strong defense. Exchanging lives with the opponent, this kind of tactic was extremely easy to catch the opponent off guard.

“Demon-Devouring Physique?”

After memorizing the Demon-Devouring Armor, he continued to read.

He realized that this was about defense and life preservation.

This was a method to change one’s physique, using all sorts of special medicine and spirit items to a.s.sist.

It could allow one’s mortal body to transform into the Demon-Devouring Physique.

He had some knowledge about the Demon-Devouring Physique before. As the Demon-Devouring Gu inside his body continued to transform, his physical body would naturally transform into the Demon-Devouring Physique.

However, this process was extremely slow, and the Demon-Devouring Physique technique was a method to speed up this process.

Below was a large number of the required medicine and spirit items.

Zhou Feng had never heard of most of these things.

The Demon-Devouring Physique was also divided into nine levels. The stone obelisk only recorded the first three levels of the metamorphosis technique.

The later ones were not recorded.

Although he could not use it now, he still memorized the Demon-Devouring Physique.

Anyway, there was no loss in memorizing it. What if he used it in the future?

As he continued reading, the following pa.s.sages finally recorded the main offensive battle arts.

Demon-Devouring Battle Art!

This was a method of using spiritual power, and it was specially created for Demon-Devouring Qi.

Under the influence of the Demon-Devouring Gu, the spiritual power in Zhou Feng’s body could be said to be gradually transforming into Demon-Devouring Qi.

The spiritual power of this special envoy had many characteristics. Therefore, if one wanted to unleash this type of spiritual power’s greatest power, they had to create a special method to use it.

The ultimate skills and attack methods of all the sects in the world were all created according to said sects’ cultivation methods.

Therefore, the cultivation method was the fundamental method for every cultivator and was extremely difficult to change.

“Only one paragraph?”

Unlike the previous Demon-Devouring Armor and Demon-Devouring Physique, the Demon-Devouring Battle Art only had one paragraph.

It didn’t have much of a realm, and its power depended on the individual’s comprehension.

Furthermore, the Demon-Devouring Battle Art didn’t have a fixed technique. One could use any technique to a.s.similate the Demon-Devouring Battle Art.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the core of the art, which was the word Demon-Devouring.

How one understood the word depended entirely on the individual. Some people believed that the word Demon-Devouring was related to demons.

Thus, countless demon shadows were created, and a group of demons devoured immortals. With just a thought, the group of demons danced wildly, suppressing the Nine Heavens.

Others believed that the most important aspect was to devour, so they created a b.l.o.o.d.y mouth that could swallow everything.

“Demon-Devouring?”

Zhou Feng didn’t have any thoughts in his mind.

Given his comprehension ability, he could only comprehend an extremely shallow way to use it.

In terms of comprehension ability, he might be an ordinary person, but he wasn’t that disappointed as he wasn’t a cultivation genius to begin with.

The three Demon-Devouring arts were the three most important arts on the stone obelisk and Bitter Bamboo Peak’s absolute arts.

But other than the three Demon-Devouring arts, there were other things carved on the stone obelisk.

For example, the method of raising Gu!

This was the first time Zhou Feng had seen such a detailed method of raising Gu.

The Tri-Gu Sect was naturally best at raising Gu.

The stone obelisk recorded the refinement methods of several Gu.

For example, the Blood Gu needed 10 Bloodthirsty Gu as materials to be sealed in a blood pool.

Every day, it would be fed with various hearts, and at the same time, it would be refined with one’s own blood and Spiritual Qi.

The refinement process would last for ten days, and one could not leave the blood pool during the entire process.

The biggest use of this Blood Gu was to lodge in the host’s heart, allowing it to purify the Blood Qi in the host’s body continuously.

“So this is the method to deal with it! But it actually requires a Soul Altar cultivator to refine it? And the refining failure rate is extremely high!?”

When Zhou Feng saw this, he instantly understood that this Gu could neutralize the Demon-Devouring Technique’s drawbacks.

The Demon-Devouring Technique advanced extremely quickly, but it would also cause many drawbacks, such as chaotic spiritual power, impure Blood Qi, and so on. These flaws greatly affected one’s battle prowess.

However, the various Gu refinement methods recorded on this stone obelisk could effectively reduce these flaws.

There were also Ice Heart Gu, Pure Spirit Gu, and so on, all Gu that targeted the Demon-Devouring Technique’s flaws.

The only pity was that refining these Gu was extremely difficult, and they could only be refined by those at least at the Soul Altar realm.

Even so, it was still a great harvest for Zhou Feng.

This stone obelisk recorded too many useful things. No wonder w.a.n.g Ming had not told him about the stone obelisk’s existence.

The other seniors had also not told him because this was the most precious thing in Bitter Bamboo Peak.

At the same time, Zhou Feng was thrilled that only the last person knew about the stone obelisk’s existence among the few people he had hunted.

Moreover, the last one had only learned about it not too long ago.

Otherwise, when facing his seniors who had cultivated the three Demon-Devouring arts, he might not be able to win. Instead, he would be the one ending up dead.

Even though Zhou Feng had all sorts of pa.s.sive skills, without cultivating the three Demon-Devouring arts, his battle prowess was quite lacking.
