Chapter 69 Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique
The displayed text blurred for an instant, and immediately transformed into common script.
[Placement Slot 4: Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique]
"Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique (0/100): Thirty-six practices a day, five years to complete."
As the Placement Slot took effect, without needing to think, related insights flooded into his mind, and his understanding of this art became comprehensive.
"So it's this art."
Wang Yu still remembered that when he had narrowly met Xu Jiao Jiao before, the other party had used a Ghost Devouring Technique, and after using it, a layer of Black Armor with considerable defensive power appeared on her body surface.
She had indeed also cultivated the things on the Mysterious Silk Book.
Now it seemed, this should be a Secret Art that existed since ancient times. From the current perspective, it is at most a Foundation Establishment Secret Technique.
But after pondering it carefully, Wang Yu felt that something was not right again.
"This might be… a Mysterious Art!"
During his Spirit Slave Stage, he had simply learned about various Spell Divine Powers in the Cultivation World. Currently, he had only come into contact with Secret Arts and Spells.
Among them, [Treasure Arts] are carried by the Treasure Bones left behind after the fall of powerful Blood Vessels Demon Beasts, hence they are also called "Bone Techniques," which is also a major category in the Cultivation World.
Legend has it that the Treasure Bones left by True Spirit Blood Vessels contain arts called [True Spirit Treasure Techniques], which are powers surpassing the Nascent Soul Stage, existing only in legends.
As for [Mysterious Arts], they are considered to be shortcuts. Their Effects are often very powerful and targeted, their versatility is not that strong, and they have strong side effects.
The Cultivation threshold is also relatively high. Lower-level Mysterious Arts often take heretical paths, seeking quick success and instant benefit, even more exaggerated than the Demonic Path, and are despised by the world.
Higher-level Mysterious Arts include Mysterious Formations and Evasion, Feng Shui Mystical Arrays, Predicting Heavenly Secrets, Defying Heaven and Changing Fate… and so on.
The [Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique] is considered an upper-middle grade Mysterious Art. It uses ten thousand spirits' Netherworld Souls as nourishment, devouring Yin Spirit Bodies to outline a set of [Black Fiend Armor Markings] on the body surface, specializing in defense, and is even more effective in resisting Divine Sense attacks.
The more Yin Spirits devoured and refined, the more powerful it becomes, and the stronger the defensive power of the Black Fiend Armor becomes. Correspondingly, after a period of time, cultivators need to withstand a Yin Spirit impact.
Once they cannot withstand it, they will suffer the terrifying punishment of Yin Spirit Soul Devouring. If they cannot endure it, at light cases, the soul will be damaged, in severe cases, they will die on the spot.
A very standard Demonic Path Mysterious Art.
Xu Jiao Jiao probably cultivated it incorrectly. This art prioritizes Divine Sense, and physical defense is secondary. She should have cultivated it in reverse, emphasizing the physical body, no wonder her body shape is so huge, like a mountain of flesh.
Wang Yu was currently in the Three Profound Bone Mountains. The "Earth-Bound Spirits" here, those Netherworld Farmers, were good Cultivation Ingredients. However, even without these necessary conditions,
the Placement Slot could forcefully cultivate it to Mastery.
Just like now, there was a round of feedback every forty minutes. In addition to the invisible Cultivation Experience and comprehension, there was also a trace of extremely pure Yin Spirit power pouring into his body.
Centered on the navel, black lines were gradually forming, precisely the [Black Fiend Armor Markings]. Once they spread throughout the body and hid beneath the skin, it would mean Mastery!
Without needing to devour external spirits, he could cultivate it to Mastery. The backlash reason for the Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique was precisely these external Yin Spirits. He hadn't devoured any, so where would the backlash come from?
This situation greatly rejoiced him. This was a Mysterious Art that could be placed for a long time. Even after cultivating it to Perfection, it could still continuously upgrade the defensive power of the Black Fiend Armor.
This made up for another weakness of Wang Yu. In terms of defense, he only had a Mid Grade Magic Art, the Ice Shield Technique. It was still acceptable for use before, but now it could no longer keep up with the intensity of Combat Technique.
Experiencing the Mysteriousness of this art, Wang Yu did not change it again.
After all, the Mysterious Yin Hand required too much time, and he had already grasped the basics. Even without Yin Marrow Liquid, he could slowly gain Experience, so there was no need to rush for the moment.
In this way, Wang Yu became even more curious about the Demonic Script Stone Tablet in the Earth Palace. For now, Cultivation was still the priority.
But if he brought Situ Hong and the others down again, it might not be bad. The content recorded on the Stone Tablet might be even more precious than the [Grand Yin Nether Pupil].
For a time, his heart was itching like a cat's scratch, and it took a long time to calm down.
Ten days later, Wang Yu took the fourth Top-Grade Cold Blood Pill.
......
......
Outer Sect Life, Year 6, Month 1. There were still two years left before the patrol Mission of Profound Bone Mountain expired.
On this day, curiosity prevailed. Unable to restrain himself, Wang Yu went out again to find Situ Hong, preparing to discuss the matter of exploring the Earth Palace for the second time.
However, danger often strikes when people are most relaxed. Originally thought this trip to Profound Bone Mountain was already a foregone conclusion, just waiting to return.
An unexpected person suddenly attacked.
"Wang Yu!!!"
The voice was like thunder, spreading across the Three Profound Bone Mountains.
A horrifying Aura soared into the sky. Wang Yu's body stiffened for a moment. Based on the sensed Aura, he immediately understood who the comer was.
Xu Jiao Jiao's father, Steward Xu, a Foundation Establishment Stage, Third Layer First Generation Cultivator!
"How could it be like this——"
Logically speaking, even if Steward Xu was released by the Law Enforcement Hall, he would not come looking for trouble with him immediately. After all, only Gu Zhengshun and Su Qing Shan knew about this matter.
The former was still hiding in the Formation Method. When the two of them came to Profound Bone Mountain together, they were in a honeymoon period of cooperation, and there was no reason to inform.
The latter had already been killed by him, with no complete corpse, and there should be no omissions.
Obviously, Wang Yu did not know that after Su Qing Shan swept Xu Residence clean, in order to avoid trouble, he left his information in the house in the form of a letter.
Suddenly coming up with such a move, he was quite passive.
Fortunately, now the Three Profound Bone Mountains were uninhabited. After being occupied by the Second Rank, Early Stage Ferocious Bone Lion, the four people also retreated to the periphery, only felling a few people's share of Bone Wood, and even gave up the Profound Essence Flower.
Steward Xu came suddenly, Wang Yu used the Night Concealment Spell to quietly retreat.
On the other side.
The first to react was the Bone Lion King. As if provoked, it roared to the sky, its body surrounded by pale white Spirit Power, and rushed straight out.
Steward Xu obviously did not expect the situation of Profound Bone Mountain.
Seeing a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast attacking, he cursed, and a crimson Pill Furnace appeared in his right hand. Under the urging of True Essence, it spun around, and the lid of the furnace mouth opened.
A fiery tongue of flame burst out fiercely, and the extremely high temperature burned the air to the point of distortion.
As the Bone Lion King roared, the Bone Armor covering the surface of its body rapidly proliferated, and ferocious spikes on its back were launched, piercing through all the flames.
As an Alchemist, Steward Xu was better at Pill Refining, and his Combat Skill was barely qualified. With his Mental Sense affected by anger, he was actually taken advantage of by a Demon Beast of the same rank without a background.
Simply a disgrace to Foundation Establishment.
From a distance, Wang Yu looked back and saw that the two sides had actually exchanged several more moves.
After sacrificing a Second Rank Low Grade Sword Artifact again, Steward Xu finally gained the upper hand, and could take down the Bone Lion King in at most a hundred and eighty rounds. This kind of Demon Beast that grew up with Unrestrained Growth was still too weak.
There was no way to compare with Cultivators of the same rank from the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
From preliminary observation, Wang Yu could conclude that this person was not good at Spell. Using Magic Artifacts to defend against enemies, not to say it's bad.
