Chapter 424 - 427: The Shadow of the Giant Rat
"With your current state, you still dare to call yourself Beidou Divine Sovereign? You’ve clearly fallen onto the Demon Path." Wang Cai looked at Beidou Divine Sovereign, his eyes filled with pity.
"What is the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal?" Mu Can had never even heard of such a thing, but the name alone radiated a kind of magic power, as if just hearing it evoked terror.
"The Devouring Sky Demon Crystal is a mysterious crystal that only appears in the vast uninhabited areas of the Supreme Interface. When this type of crystal was first discovered, it even caused quite a stir in the Supreme Interface. Think about it, just by absorbing this red crystal into your body, you can imbue your Cultivation Technique with a trace of devouring characteristics. And this kind of devouring isn’t ordinary; it can swallow Spiritual Power, Soul Power, and even Life Force into one’s body. Moreover, one could cultivate without any bottleneck; as long as you devour enough energy, you can advance." Wang Cai began to explain. Let alone Mu Can, even Beidou Divine Sovereign, who absorbed that red crystal into his body, didn’t know what it really was.
"And then? This sounds exactly like a Demon Technique. Even the Demon Clan isn’t this brutal." Mu Can clicked his tongue in wonder, but he knew that Wang Cai hadn’t finished his story yet. There must be strong side effects to the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal; otherwise, it would definitely cause widespread conflict, as no one could refuse the opportunity to break through without limitations.
"Then, after those who absorbed the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal reached a certain level of power, they died," Wang Cai stated indifferently.
"Died? How did they die?" Mu Can felt a chill in his heart. What kind of place was the vast uninhabited area in the Supreme Interface for it to produce such potent crystals?
"Die? Nobody knows how they died. Not even their corpses were left behind. However, one thing is certain: when those who obtained the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal reached a certain level of Cultivation, all of their Spiritual Power, Soul Energy, and even Life Energy would be stripped away by the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal. After devouring the person who obtained it into nothingness, the crystal would then search for its next host. As news of this spread, no one in the Supreme Interface dared to touch these crystals anymore. Even someone from the All Things Realm died because of it," Wang Cai revealed a secret from the history of the Supreme Interface.
This was also because the upheaval caused by the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal in the Supreme Interface back then was too significant, and it was not just one crystal but ten. They caused a bloodbath in the Supreme Interface until all those in the All Things Realm joined forces to collect and seal the Devouring Sky Demon Crystals and expel them from the Supreme Interface, restoring peace.
Now, recalling the past after hearing Beidou Divine Sovereign’s words, Wang Cai’s eyes were filled with utter sympathy. Anyone who dared to meddle with the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal met with no good end; they were devoured without even bones remaining. Some even lost their sanity in the end and devoured their own relatives, an especially cruel act.
