Chapter 1090: Chapter 349: Devouring Life, Symbols of Magical Techniques and Divine Techniques

One day later.

The starship piloted by Yang Mingyue successfully reached Abyss One after passing through a space window.

The Yang Family’s starship was equipped with many types of heavy weapons, capable of threatening demon beasts below the Integration Stage and effectively preventing Divinity Transformation level demon beasts from escaping Abyss One.

“Zhang… Zhang Lingfeng, we part ways here, I’m off to kill the enemy.”

Calling this name, Yang Mingyue seemed slightly uncomfortable.

“Good!”

Zhang Lingfeng nodded as he stepped out of the starship.

Yang Mingyue and Yang Nan’s descendants possessed the power of Great Cultivators at the Integration Stage, and their cultivation level was comparable to the yet-to-cross-tribulation Shen Rufeng, even though Yang Mingyue was a woman, she was the future hope of the Yang Family.

She directed her subordinates to operate the starship to sweep away those lower-level alien creatures, while she, clad in black armor and wielding dual sabers, charged toward the inner regions of Abyss One.

Her father, Yang Nan, was inside.

Zhang Lingfeng sensed the power fluctuations in the surroundings and discovered that ahead of Yang Mingyue, three Great Demons at the Integration Stage were devouring a vine the size of the Ancient Blue Star.

The vast power fluctuations caught the attention of many people.

Zhang Lingfeng realized that the vine was a Great Demon at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, whose divine soul had been destroyed by someone, leaving only its physical form drifting within Abyss One.

The vast life force it carried attracted many alien creatures and humans.

He hurriedly followed along.

Hoping to get a share of the spoils.

After becoming a Tribulation Crossing Immortal, Zhang Lingfeng also mastered the Dharma Gate of devouring life, a skill naturally possessed by Tribulation Crossing Immortals, allowing them to strengthen their mother star’s life mass by devouring life.

However, generally, people use devouring external life forms to strengthen their own life mass. Instances like Zhang Lingfeng’s, first using it to strengthen the mother star’s life mass, are relatively rare.

Nonetheless, upon recalling that he obtained that drop of Life Origin Power, Zhang Lingfeng felt even more assured.

He seemed to understand why it has been a long time since anyone in the Intermediate Star Realm could nurture a star to construct a complete star realm.

It’s not merely due to the lack of Life Origin Power; the main reason is that people don’t know how to obtain Life Origin, which begins with guarding life.

Or rather, people know this path but are unwilling to assume this responsibility.

Which is why they have always been unable to obtain Life Origin Power.

“Demon!”

Yang Mingyue slashed continuously with her dual sabers.

Though not a disciple of the Ancient Moon Sect, she meticulously practiced a Star Strengthening Technique, which can be condensed into skills, forming terrifying sword aura. The instant the dual sabers strike, it forms a light beam stretching hundreds of thousands of kilometers, seemingly able to tear apart the entirety of Abyss One.

Effortlessly pulverizing a group of lower-level alien creatures trying to devour the vine.

Vast life force surged in.

Yang Mingyue’s body seemed like an abyss, absorbing this power voraciously.

Zhang Lingfeng observed as Yang Mingyue activated her internal power, refining the life force seized from the alien creatures for her own use, boosting her star power, as well as law mastery and her own life mass.

Allowing her life mass to gradually approach the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so that if she encounters danger during her tribulation crossing, she might counteract and oppose by consuming her own life force.

She can also counterattack using laws and star power.

Nearly all cultivators follow this model, using absorbed life force primarily to strengthen themselves, rarely giving back to the mother star, and some even continually draining life force from their mother star.

This is also why cultivation resources in major star realms have become increasingly scarce and depleted.

Zhang Lingfeng followed alongside Yang Mingyue without seizing the life force from her, otherwise, given his power, he could convert most of the life force for his own use or return it to the Black Water Star Realm.

“There’s danger ahead.”

Yang Mingyue, seeing Zhang Lingfeng catching up, did not hinder him. Upon nearing the vine, she too sensed three powerful Great Cultivators at the Integration Stage devouring the remaining life force from the vine.

Zhang Lingfeng used his divine sense to scan ahead.

He found that the vine, the size of Ancient Blue Star, had lived for over ten thousand years. For unknown reasons, it came out of Abyss One, leading to its divine soul being shattered, and forcefully having its life force seized.

“Roar!”

A low growl echoed.

The three Integration Stage alien creatures detected Yang Mingyue’s presence.

Their gaze was like a ghostly visage in the stars, chilling to the bone. Yang Mingyue sensed danger; although her cultivation was close to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, until she actually crossed tribulation, the gap with the Tribulation Crossing Stage was vast.

The disparity is not only in terms of life and law perception but also in star management, which is significantly distinct.

Moreover, those who have crossed tribulations, regardless of what kind, have fundamentally confronted the Heavenly Dao, and those returning from tribulations are akin to having their life purified.

Not only do they naturally possess the Dharma Gate of devouring life, their life forms seem enhanced, solid as fortresses, not easily devoured by ordinary life forms.

The moment Zhang Lingfeng emerged from his tribulation, he felt an additional layer of power safeguarding his life, not merely because his understanding of laws, life, and stars had deepened, but because of being favored by the Heavenly Dao. Ordinary Five Elements Techniques and Divine Techniques simply cannot harm them.

In a sense, for Tribulation Crossing Immortals like Zhang Lingfeng, every word and action can influence the surrounding Heavenly Dao Laws. While he can’t yet wield this power, he has reached a level where he can establish laws around him, utilizing the Heavenly Dao for defense or even expropriation strategies.
