Chapter 682: Secrets Of Black Devil (1)

In the depths of the Spacetime Island, Wu Yuan's qi refiner self sat in lotus position atop a jade platform within his private hall.

He was naturally shocked when the black pagoda in his upper dantian lobe reacted to the Black Devil Divine Pillar.

This time, the tremors lasted far longer than when he had first encountered the divine pillar. Wu Yuan focused intently on the black pagoda, but apart from the trembling, it showed no other signs.

Meanwhile, his mana body began receiving a deluge of information from the Black Devil Divine Pillar.

In the Chong Gu Galaxy, within an unassuming region of outer space, Wu Yuan's mana body finally finished absorbing the information after a long while.

At the end, he vaguely 'saw' an endless range of black mountains stretching across the infinite cosmos, its length unfathomable. The undulating mountain range was a breathtaking display of majesty and grandeur.

At its center loomed a black throne, upon which a figure sat in a lotus position, his aura vast and unbounded. His eyes burned like twin stars, capable of surveying all realms of heaven and earth, and his gaze seemed to pierce the fabric of time to settle directly upon Wu Yuan.

"Those who possess the Black Devil Divine Pillar or the Black Devil Star," the figure’s voice echoed like thunder, "sacrifice one thousand Devil Divine Pills, and you may enter the Black Devil Blood Hollow. Those who earn my favor shall inherit my legacy—the legacy of Sovereign Black Devil." The figure’s features remained hazy, but his voice rang through Wu Yuan’s mind like a storm. "Haha! All the treasures I have amassed over countless eons are here. Come, if you dare to claim them."

With a powerful rumble, the vision faded, and Wu Yuan’s mana body fully regained awareness, his mind reeling. Sovereign Black Devil?

So this black pillar is called a Black Devil Divine Pillar, an artifact left behind by Sovereign Black Devil? Wu Yuan mused silently.

If he called himself a Sovereign, he had to be a super powerhouse on par with Eldritch Sovereign Kua Chi and Immortal Sovereign Bei You.

A wealth of knowledge flooded Wu Yuan’s consciousness, laying bare many of the mysteries that had puzzled him, including the reason for High Immortal Zhuo Hao’s involvement.

Most of the information pertains to the 'Black Devil Blood Sacrifice', followed by the 'Devil Pill Chapter' which details the method to refine Devil Divine Pill, and lastly, details about the Black Devil Blood Hollow... Wu Yuan reflected, pondering the knowledge he now possessed.

A secret art, a pill formula, plus a trove of information.

This 'Black Devil Blood Sacrifice' secret art is truly remarkable, though regrettably incomplete. Wu Yuan gradually recalled the details of this secret art.

At the same time, Wu Yuan also understood how High Immortal Zhuo Hao had been able to wield the Black Devil Divine Pillar. In essence, it necessitated consuming Devil Divine Pills.

Devil Divine Pills contained a special power called Black Devil Power. Only through this extremely unique power could one employ the 'Black Devil Blood Sacrifice' technique and thereby control the Black Devil Divine Pillar. Then, one could receive the Black Devil Power bestowed by the Black Devil Divine Pillar. Black Devil Power was an immensely powerful external force.

Upon completing part one of 'Black Devil Blood Sacrifice' and consuming one Devil Divine Pill, one's mana can briefly reach the level of a Third Tribulation High Immortal for ten breaths.

Upon completing part two of 'Black Devil Blood Sacrifice' and consuming ten Devil Divine Pills, one's mana can briefly reach the level of a Seventh Tribulation Archimmortal for one breath...

Upon completing part three of 'Black Devil Blood Sacrifice' and consuming a hundred Devil Divine Pills, one's mana can briefly reach the level of a Ninth Tribulation Archimmortal for one breath...

Upon completing the final part of 'Black Devil Blood Sacrifice’... Wu Yuan was inwardly astounded.

The Black Devil Divine Pillar is a double-edged sword, truly a devilish object. Wu Yuan realized this point.

Indeed, it was powerful and could grant its user incredible strength. Any ordinary High Immortal who obtained it, like High Immortal Zhuo Hao, could easily slay other High Immortals upon unleashing its power. But at the same time, it demanded endless bloodshed in return.

Slaughter begets karma. Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. And there's the corruption of one’s mind with constant use of Black Devil Power. If one's Dao Heart and will aren't strong enough, they'll eventually be consumed by Black Devil Power, becoming a complete madman.

The gains and losses could not be easily calculated.

Whoosh! With a wave of his hand, Wu Yuan summoned nearly a hundred pitch-black pills that radiated a faint, blood-colored light. The aura they emitted was identical to the aura radiating from the furnace when Earth Immortal Yin Yan was refining pills earlier.

The Black Devil Power within the Black Devil Divine Pillar can only be considered an external power. During the process of overcoming the Immortal Tribulations, it will offer no help at all. Wu Yuan pondered silently. But what connection does it have to the black pagoda?

Why did it make the black pagoda tremble?

Wu Yuan couldn't help but think of the blood mist produced by the black pagoda, which was also generated through the killing of enemies and also had various miraculous effects. In some ways, it seemed somewhat similar to the Devil Divine Pills.

However, Devil Divine Pills required refining from vital essence, a far more brutal and bloody process! The blood mist, on the other hand, was merely a byproduct of Wu Yuan's battles against powerful opponents.

This 'Black Devil Blood Sacrifice' secret art is remarkable, but also fraught with danger. I should take the Black Devil Divine Pillar back for my qi-refiner self to investigate thoroughly before deciding on the next step. Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Both of his true selves had black pagodas in their upper dantian lobes, but his mana body did not. So for now, Wu Yuan couldn't verify the relationship between the black pagoda and the Black Devil Divine Pillar.

According to the information just received, a level above the Black Devil Divine Pillar is the Black Devil Star, which also holds vast information. The Black Devil Star might contain the complete 'Black Devil Blood Sacrifice'. To obtain specific directions to the Black Devil Blood Hollow, one must sacrifice a thousand Devil Divine Pills?

These Devil Divine Pills weren't for personal use, purely to be sacrificed to the Black Devil Divine Pillar. Once the sacrifice was complete, one would naturally receive the desired information from the Black Devil Divine Pillar.

This thing seems to be bait cast out by Sovereign Black Devil, luring countless powerful beings to kill for him, and then refine Devil Divine Pills. Wu Yuan continued to examine the Black Devil Divine Pillar.

As he continued his examination, Wu Yuan’s wariness grew. It was too bizarre. The methods of a Sovereign were truly unfathomable.

Moreover, logically speaking, the spacetime mission should have only requested us to either protect Earth Immortal Yin Yan or kill him. But why specifically demand that we protect him first and then kill him? Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. It doesn't make sense!

The Spacetime Island typically didn't interfere with usual acts of slaughter. Earlier, when Wu Yuan, Metal Devil, and Purple Secret were speculating on the purpose of the mission, they had considered the possibility that Earth Immortal Yin Yan might be involved in some secret that could affect the operation of the entire Spacetime Dao Realm. At the time, Wu Yuan and the others had dismissed such a notion, deeming it far-fetched.

Now? Wu Yuan felt there might be a possibility. That was because Earth Immortal Yin Yan had learned the method to refine Devil Divine Pills, unknowingly forming a karmic connection with Sovereign Black Devil.

And a super powerhouse like Sovereign Black Devil could potentially influence the entire Spacetime Dao Realm.
