Chapter 498: The Rumours Spread
In the story of Sect Master Baek, she encountered the Sloth Devil, but Aldrian discovered something interesting from the memories of Kwon Mira—another member of the Seven Deadly Sins had visited the demon territory not long ago.
That person was Gluttony.
From the memories he obtained from devils he had killed in the past, the Gluttony Devil is known as one of the most powerful members of the Seven Deadly Sins in terms of cultivation stage. This is largely due to his unique cultivation technique, which relies on a law called the Absorption Law—a law that allows those who comprehend it to absorb anything in the world and turn it into their own power.
The Absorption Laws are incredibly rare, and only a few individuals throughout the continent’s history have ever comprehended them—most of whom were successors to the title of Gluttony Devil, passed down from one generation to the next.
With these laws, Gluttony can raise his cultivation at a rate far faster than any other cultivator. The Absorption Laws allow him to consume everything in front of him. Once absorbed into his body, everything is converted into comprehension or energy to fuel his cultivation.
This is how the Gluttony Devil reached the peak Emperor stage much faster than any of his peers.
It is a broken cultivation technique—one that many consider forbidden because of the destructive potential it carries. According to the continent’s records, the first generation of Gluttony was the origin of the Absorption Laws.
No one truly knows how the devils first came to possess such power, but if a cultivator were to comprehend it, they would be hunted down immediately. The fear of the Absorption Laws’ potential alone is enough to provoke such a response.
Gluttony also comprehended the Gravity Laws—just like Aldrian— and several other laws as well. This was the result of absorbing countless things in the past. But there is one more domain in which he excels.
Formations.
The Gluttony Devil is a master of formations, possessing high levels of attainment and deep comprehension.
