The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 1879

Chapter 1879: 1879

The Darkness Blood Demon was shocked . He later realized that the gush of energy was his soul power after having gone through a few twists and turns in his life . The act of devouring his grandfather’s soul had given him rank-1 soul power .

He felt grateful for the gift left behind by his grandfather . He was overjoyed to discover that he had soul power at last . He went searching for an elementary soul academy to join since he now possessed soul power . Soon, he discovered that all the soul master’s cultivation techniques were incompatible to him including the meditation . His rank-1 soul power did not show any signs of improvement even after he cultivated for a full six months .

Hence, he was expelled from the academy since he could not elevate his cultivation .

Out of the blue, the Darkness Blood Demon suddenly recalled the situation which led him to possess soul power the first time . Perhaps, it was related to dead people?

He went to the funeral parlor and lingered around the place for a period of time . He finally achieved some gains .

He took the initiative to approach the dead corpses . After a few initial trials, he discovered that there was utterly no reaction when the corpse which was sent to the funeral parlor had been dead for quite some time . However, if the person had just recently died, he could feel the difference and absorb some energy from the corpse .

His soul power was thus elevated to rank-10 in less than a month akin to the speed of a shooting rocket .

Nevertheless, he did not have any money to purchase spirit souls . Since he was at a loss at what to do, he would head over to the funeral parlor daily to devour the souls month after month . His body had actually condensed its first soul ring spontaneously which allowed him to possess his first soul skill .

It was known as the Soul Devourment!

The soul skill allowed him to devour souls at a faster rate . In addition to devouring dead people’s souls, he could also devour the soul of an extremely weak person or even a child’s .

The discovery gave him a new direction in cultivation .

His experience of a bitter life from young coupled with the lack of education made the Darkness Blood Demon truly excited in acquiring the Soul Devourment soul skill . However, he failed to realize the danger of the skill .

Hence, he began using the Soul Devourment to devour all kinds of souls . After various attempts, he chanced upon some kind of pattern . Not only was he capable of devouring the weaker humans, he could also do it to the weaker creatures such as small animals .

One day, he realized the problem of this soul skill when a very ill person died soon after he devoured the person’s soul . Yet, he could not stop himself anymore at the time .

The Soul Devourment elevated the cultivation rate of his soul power at a tremendous pace . In fact, even his spiritual power elevated rapidly under the continuous nourishment from devouring the souls . It was worlds apart as compared to the time when he cultivated painstakingly in the past, but did not yield any results .

Under such circumstances, he naturally degenerated . Meanwhile, his first soul skill, the Soul Devourment effect was becoming more powerful following the elevation of his abilities . At the same time, it was getting more harmful . When he made a breakthrough to the rank-20 soul power and began acquiring his second soul skill gradually, he was already capable of using his Soul Devourment against ordinary people . By then, he had become an evil soul master in its truest sense .

In the beginning, he was cautious when he devoured the souls . Later, he committed the act openly . He would devour a person’s soul to death and continue on with yet another person . He was just like a drug addict . Subsequently, he thrived on this cultivation method .

Furthermore, the Darkness Blood Demon discovered that he got the most gain when he devoured a living man’s soul to death . The more complete the soul, the more beneficial it was to him .

Afterward, he began to realize that the effect of devouring a soul master’s soul was even better . The more powerful the soul master, the more elevation he would receive .

From then on, he was past the point of no return . In just a short time, he became renowned amongst the evil soul masters . At the same time, his presence drew the attention of the soul master’s organization . It was logical for him to join the Holy Spirit Cult where he was steadily promoted until he became the leader of the four great heavenly kings of darkness .

His cultivation rate was extremely fast even amongst the evil soul masters . Also, his fighting capacity was exceedingly strong and his spiritual power exceptionally powerful . He was terrifying in the sense that he could be everywhere and nothing could stop him .

The Darkness Blood Demon’s kills was perhaps only preceded by the Ghost Emperor’s in the Holy Spirit Cult . In fact, he even surpassed the Underworld King Ha Luosa . Wherever he passed, not a single root could grow . Whether it was a human being or any other life form, as long as it had a soul, it would be a target for his devourment .

Simultaneously, he was in an agonizing state . He had devoured way too many souls . Every soul would leave behind a wisp of consciousness in his sea of spirit each time the soul was being devoured by him . The existence of this remnant consciousness was especially agonizing for the Darkness Blood Demon . Consequently, he was having a hard time enduring it .

It was fine in the beginning . As the number of remnant consciousness increased, his mental state was affected akin to a psychotic breakdown . Moreover, these remnant consciousnesses were hostile toward him . They tormented his mind to the extent that he was losing his life force as well .

In reality, the Darkness Blood Demon was the youngest out of the four great heavenly kings of darkness . He was just over fifty years of age, yet his body had aged more than the Ghost Emperor’s .

The Darkness Blood Demon was well aware that the remnant consciousnesses of the life forms he devoured would have a terrifying backlash on him when he died . His soul would be torn apart by them .

Thus, he was constantly looking for ways to prolong his lifespan, so he could live longer . The Ancient Gold Tree in Shrek Academy was his target once before .

His eyes lit up as he was confronted by the Amorous Douluo . He was yearning for Zang Xin’s soul badly .

In order to suppress the chaotic consciousness in his body, he needed to devour an even more powerful consciousness to further strengthen his spiritual power .

In the past, the Ghost Emperor suggested a way that would help him break free from his current situation which was to cultivate the Divine Origin spiritual rank . It was only by achieving the Divine Origin that he would be able to transcend and completely destroy those chaotic consciousnesses .

The only way was to continuously devour even more powerful souls, so he could elevate his spiritual power to the Divine Origin before he died and faced the backlash .

Even though the Amorous Douluo was not a quasi god yet, he was a renowned powerhouse with a Limit Douluo rank . Hence, he was an ideal candidate for the Blood Demon . If the Darkness Blood Demon could devour Zang Zin, it would increase his cultivation base by another step at the very least . By devouring a Limit Douluo, he would possibly be elevated to a quasi god which meant that he would be a step closer to achieving the Divine Origin .

Zang Xin was filled with enmity toward the Darkness Blood Demon . As one of the most powerful people in the Holy Spirit Cult, there was no doubt that the higher one’s status was, the more threatening the person would be toward mankind . The sins of the Darkness Blood Demon were too numerous to be recorded, and his hands were covered in so much blood . The battle today was inevitable for both sides . It was also the best opportunity for Zang Xin to kill him .

Hence, the battle was in a complete pandemonium since its beginning .

The gigantic Blood Demon standing behind the Darkness Blood Demon leaned back its upper body . An immense gush of suction force burst forth instantly . Zang Xin felt his scalp went numb . At the same time, he felt his blood essence and soul were about to leave his body .

Despite being the Darkness Blood Demon’s first soul skill, the Soul Devourment was his core soul skill . It was the most crucial part of his cultivation technique which benefited him in every way . Even when he was fighting against an exceptionally powerful opponent, it could be used to weaken the opponent .
