Chapter 2355 The Soul-Devouring Technique

After speaking, the person's voice vanished instantly, disappearing from the spot.

It was as if they had never existed.

In a temple somewhere within the Five Great Celestial Realms.

A priest was standing in front of the altar, casually preaching to the believers below.

The believers below the stage did not show much piety as they listened to the sacrificial rites. Some even whispered among themselves and occasionally let out a low laugh, as if they were just going through the motions of completing some task.

Behind the sacrificial ceremony stood an ancient and simple statue of a deity.

Just as the sounds of the ritual were making everyone below feel drowsy,

The statue, which seemed to have stood for millions of years, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling celestial light.

In an instant, this strange change shocked all the priests and believers below, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, their eyes filled with awe.

However, after the celestial light, no divine decree was issued, and the world seemed to return to silence.

Among the crowd, a child was the first to raise his head and look at the statue in front of him.

But when he looked up, he was shocked to find...

The statue had vanished by now.

Within a certain holy city of the Five Celestial Realms.

A middle-aged man suddenly flew up to the ninth heaven.

Countless Dao runes floated around the man, and streams of law power emanated from his body.

That was a sign that a breakthrough was imminent.

However, whenever his cultivation level was about to reach the critical point of a breakthrough, it would be suppressed by a strange force.

Thus, this person remained in a state of flux between the peak of the Breaking Dao Realm and the Great Dao Realm.

Caught between a rock and a hard place.

The man stared coldly in a certain direction, yet his eyes blazed with intense light.

"Holy Lord, what's wrong?" Behind the middle-aged man, an old man looked at him with a nervous expression.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "A power that defies the heavens!"

Upon hearing this, the old man was first taken aback, then overjoyed and exclaimed, "What? The legendary child who defies the heavens is about to be born?"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, "That must be it! Moreover, I vaguely sense that several powerful forces are heading towards that prodigal son! They should all be experts at the Primordial Dao Realm!"

The old man said nervously, "Even a Grandmaster of the Primordial Dao has been alarmed? That must be the Son of Heaven... Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The day a child of heaven is born can obscure the secrets of heaven! At that time, no matter whether they are experts in the Great Dao Realm or the Primordial Great Dao Realm, they will no longer be able to look down on all living beings! This has already been proven!"

As he spoke, he gently raised his hand and stroked his arm.

Suddenly, the flesh on his arm began to writhe, revealing a dozen or so rays of light beneath his arm, encased in runes and flesh.

Looking at these lights, a hint of madness appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"I wasn't prepared when those extraordinary talents appeared before! But this time, I'm fully prepared! I will advance straight from the peak of the Breaking Dao Realm to the Primordial Dao in one go!"

"Congratulations, Holy Lord!" the old man exclaimed excitedly.

A hint of madness flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. With a wave of his long sleeve, he said, "Alright, announce to the public that ten days ago, the Demon Fire Ghost of the Hunting Guild was injured and needs to focus on healing for three months! During this period, you will be in charge of all matters, big and small!"

"Yes!" the old man bowed.

When they looked up again, they found that the middle-aged man had disappeared.

Meanwhile, in Luotian.

At this moment, Luo Tian was unaware of the changes that had taken place in the world.

He simply watched as the shattered golden light drifted down into his palm, eventually transforming into a jade slip.

Luo Tian channeled his soul power into the jade slip, and instantly grasped most of its contents.

Then, he put the jade slip away and headed towards the jade disc.

"You...you're not cultivating anymore?" the voice inside Luo Tian asked.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian shook his head and said, "Why would I cultivate a move that leads to mutual destruction? It's completely useless!"

"I..." The voice wanted to argue, but for a moment it didn't know what to say.

Luo Tian continued, "Your sealing technique is far inferior to the Four-Phase Golden Body, let alone the previous hundred-plus Great Dao inheritances! It's utterly impractical!"

After hearing that voice, I was completely speechless.

You should know that this sealing technique is the most prized move he has ever made.

Unexpectedly, it became something insignificant to Luo Tian.

If someone else had said that, he would have fought them to the death.

Unfortunately, he had no desire to argue with Luo Tian at this moment.

hum!

At that moment, the last martial arts phantom appeared in front of Luo Tian.

This time, having learned from his previous experience, Luo Tian didn't give the martial arts phantom a chance to make a move and directly slashed at it with his sword.

Luo Tian was worried that this was some kind of sealing technique.

Although it might not hurt him, it could easily bring unexpected trouble to Luo Tian.

It would be easier to just kill him with a single sword stroke.

puff!

In an instant, the martial arts phantom transformed into streaks of golden light, which then converged towards Luo Tian.

hum!

Another jade slip appeared in Luo Tian's hand.

After obtaining the jade slip, Luo Tian swept it with his soul power and immediately frowned.

"The Soul-Devouring Technique? Devouring the souls of all living beings to increase one's own lifespan and strength?" Luo Tian frowned and muttered, then the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.

"You created such an evil thing?" Luo Tian asked in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, the voice sighed and said, "That's right, this is the cultivation technique I created after I stepped into the Primordial Dao!"

Luo Tian frowned and said, "You've already reached the Primordial Dao Realm, why do you still need to devour other people's souls to extend your lifespan?"

The voice sighed, "Under normal circumstances, of course, it's not necessary! However, when I created this technique, my physical body was sealed, and my soul was severely injured, leaving me almost on the verge of death!"

"In that desperate situation, I created this secret technique, which allowed my soul to gradually recover to its current state! Now, all that's missing is a similar physical body for me to be fully restored!"

"As long as you cultivate this Soul Devouring Technique, unless you are instantly killed by an incredibly powerful force, you can slowly recover by devouring even the smallest remnant soul! The only drawback is that after devouring, you will be affected by the devoured soul, causing your personality to change!"

Hearing the other party's explanation, Luo Tian shook his head and said, "But this thing is of no use to me! I'll just keep it for now."

As he spoke, he casually tossed the jade slip into his spatial ring.

After doing all this, Luo Tian said, "I remember you just said that there are a few places worth visiting in this treasure vault, right?"

The voice replied, "There are two more! One is in the center of the treasure vault, atop the highest mountain! The other is in the far north of the treasure vault!"
