Chapter 366 - 366 Come to an End

366 Come to an End

He had to change the entire path of the spiritual energy whirlpool to maintain the second revolution.

During the process of devouring, the vortex would rotate in reverse, forming a vortex inside the vortex. Then, it would rotate in the third rotation.

It was exactly the same as the spiritual strength vortex that was changing in Gu Mingzhou’s body.

This meant that not only had he entered the earth realm, but he had also cultivated the third level of the Heavenly Devouring Technique!

The third level of the Heavenly Devouring Technique was a qualitative leap.

After cultivating to the third cycle, the spiritual energy whirlpool would last forever, and it would be condensed in the Dao Foundation without dissipating.

There was no need to use the Heavenly Devouring Technique to form a vortex again before devouring, so time and efficiency would be increased.

Most importantly, Gu Mingzhou would no longer need to touch the other party’s body to devour their cultivation.

However, the prerequisite for devouring was that the other party had to be unable to resist.

Otherwise, if he were to encounter strong resistance while using the Heavenly Devouring Technique, it was very likely that it would cause a backlash and seriously injure him.

“I actually reached the third level of the Heavenly Devouring Technique!” After confirming the changes in his body, Gu Mingzhou had mixed feelings.

The cultivation method of the Heavenly Devouring Technique required constant devouring and plundering. From the beginning, he had been resistant to this kind of harmful thing.

At this rate, Gu Mingzhou probably didn’t need to harm anyone at all. It would be enough to just get rid of his future opponents!

This discovery made Gu Mingzhou, who regretted cultivating the Heavenly Devouring Technique, smile.

From this moment on, he would no longer have any scruples and become even more terrifying!

Devouring without any qualms was no joke!

As long as he could severely injure the other party in advance, he could directly devour them from a distance.

If it was in the past, he might have some scruples or even disgust.

However, after a series of changes, the knot in his heart had been untied, and the Heavenly Devouring Technique was more suitable for him.

Even if both sides were injured, he could still directly devour them from a distance. The advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

When facing an enemy, he could attack fearlessly and with all his might!

The third level of the Heavenly Devouring Technique was truly terrifying!

“Hahaha!” Zhao Qiankun nodded at Gu Mingzhou with some relief.

The demonic power inside the green spirit nether hedgehog was at least twice as strong as the refined energy inside Wu Ji patriarch and He Youliang combined!

It was unbelievable!

Zhao Qiankun was equally shocked.

“The green spirit nether hedgehog’s strength is definitely not weaker than what it appears to be.” Zhao Qiankun’s expression turned ugly as if he had thought of something.

“It can’t be?” Gu Mingzhou was shocked. He looked at the green spirit nether hedgehog, which had fallen into a coma with its head lowered, and felt the demonic power flowing in its body.

“If that’s the case, you’ve got a great deal. Maybe you can directly break through to the second level of the earth realm.” Zhao Qiankun raised his right hand, and a golden light shot out from his index finger, which instantly sank into Gu Mingzhou’s forehead.

Countless complicated runes suddenly appeared in Gu Mingzhou’s mind.

“The earth realm is the first step in cultivation.” Zhao Qiankun’s voice rang out as he began to explain the path of cultivation.

Cultivation was supposed to be a heaven-defying act.

The heavenly Dao could indulge living beings in their cultivation because it could not stop them, and it would not care.

In fact, all the energy absorbed by cultivators in the later stages of cultivation belonged to the vast universe.

When cultivators died, the essence of life absorbed from the outside world would be absorbed by the heavenly Dao as a supplement.

Even if the heavenly Dao had the ability to stop it, it would not.

After all, a powerful existence like it was not inexhaustible and still needed to be replenished.

The universe was a mysterious existence, so it was naturally not strange for such a possibility to exist.

Although the so-called secrecy-reaching method had clear methods and steps, it was not simple.

Outside the world, however, was not stable. There were spatial storms everywhere that could even wipe out souls. It was extremely terrifying.

According to Zhao Qiankun, the integration of the Dao Foundation and the body was the earth realm.

Although he could not understand the meaning of these complicated talismans, it was not a problem for him to follow the instructions and guide the pure spiritual energy in his body to copy the talismans.

However, the inscribing process was extremely difficult.

Gu Mingzhou spent the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn. He only stopped reluctantly when he was drenched in sweat and his spiritual sense was in a trance. He shook his head at Zhao Qiankun, who was full of anticipation.

The Dao Foundation in his body was formed by the purest spiritual energy in the world.

His body was harder than a boulder and invulnerable.

Pure spiritual energy flowed on the surface, making the surface of the entire Foundation extremely smooth, increasing the difficulty of inscribing.

After a hundred attempts, he was unable to leave any traces.

After this period of concentration, he had consumed a lot of spiritual energy and it had almost dried up.

Even the demonic power left in the green spirit nether hedgehog’s body had been completely consumed.

“It’s easy to say that it’s an inscribing array, but it’s challenging to do it. Many people are stuck at this level for their entire lives.”

Zhao Qiankun seemed to see Gu Mingzhou’s disappointment, and the anticipation on his face changed, as he expected.

Gu Mingzhou’s gaze fell on the corpse of the green spirit nether hedgehog.

He looked at his opponent, who was covered in wounds and scabbed with green liquid. He was already dead.

“Since he’s already dead, let’s find a place to bury him.” For some reason, Gu Mingzhou heaved a sigh of relief.

The green spirit nether hedgehog’s soul had been torn apart and devoured by Gu Mingzhou’s Heavenly Devouring Technique. This meant he would completely disappear from the world. His soul would be scattered and he would never be able to come back to life.

Since that was the case, there was no point in keeping his corpse, so it was better to bury it.

He sat down cross-legged to cultivate and recover his spiritual energy.

When the five-clawed Golden dragon’s Dragon Soul exploded, although it did not mainly attack Gu Mingzhou, it still caused him quite a bit of damage.

In addition to that, he had concentrated on copying and carving for the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, which made him extremely exhausted. Before he could absorb any spiritual energy to replenish himself, he had already fallen asleep.

With Zhao Qiankun on guard, Gu Mingzhou could rest in peace.

He slept all the way until the evening of the next day before he woke up.

In the alternate dimension without the sun and moon, it was already dark in the evening. The receded tide came back again, and the waves slapped the beach.

Zhao Qiankun stood alone on the beach, his back facing Gu Mingzhou as he looked out at the sea. No one knew what he was thinking, and he did not even notice that Gu Mingzhou had woken up.

Feeling that the spiritual energy in his body had recovered a little, Gu Mingzhou stood up from the tree stump. As he moved his body, he looked around.

The island looked even more withered during the day.

Its previous lush was long gone. As far as the eye could see, the entire island was like a desert, with dust flying in the air as the wind blew.

The hundreds of fishermen who had turned into demons had probably turned into dust along with the trees and flowers on this Island.

Perhaps they were blown into the sea, or perhaps for some other reason, they all disappeared.

On the entire island, there were only Gu Mingzhou, Zhao Qiankun, and three corpses.

The bodies of Wu Ji patriarch, He Youliang, and the green spirit nether hedgehog were neatly arranged on the beach.

Gu Mingzhou unconsciously walked to the side of the corpse.

The Wu Ji patriarch, He Youliang, and the hairless green spirit nether hedgehog were all formidable men with many treasures on them.
