Chapter 715: Chapter 629: Devouring Talent, Surprising Discovery (Merged Chapter)_2
The little goat-headed monster, starving, swallowed the fruit without hesitation. Suddenly, everything went black before his eyes, and he passed out.
His body, however, was enveloped in a crimson glow, with a large amount of black impurities crazily expelled from his pores…
After this unexpected encounter, the little goat-headed monster’s bloodline underwent a transformation, leaping to the Ninth Rank—a realm that no demon in his clan had reached for thousands of years!
From then on, his cultivation speed advanced rapidly, receiving substantial resources from the clan, marrying the clan leader’s daughter, and reaching the pinnacle of life, slapping those demons who had looked down on him…
The memory abruptly stopped here.
Lou Yi opened his eyes and looked at the introduction of the devouring talent in the Attribute Panel, discovering it had become more meticulous and comprehensive.
Devour: Without exceeding the physical limit of endurance, you can devour non-physical energy and convert a portion of it for your own use…
’It can devour energy and convert it for my own use.
But how exactly does it convert?’
Lou Yi pondered for a moment and summoned a cyan Wind Blade about ten feet long out of thin air.
The Wind Blade swished towards Lou Yi fiercely.
Just as it was about to hit, Lou Yi whispered, “Devour.”
The next moment, a hazy white glow appeared on Lou Yi’s body surface.
When the Wind Blade encountered the glow, it melted into it as effortlessly as a solid object entering water.
In this process, Lou Yi didn’t feel any discomfort.
It was as if the Wind Blade had entered a space unrelated to himself, undergoing a complex energy conversion.
Soon after, a stream of warm energy flowed into his body.
“Qi-Blood?”
Lou Yi observed, somewhat surprised.
The devouring talent could directly convert wind energy into Qi-Blood energy?
However, qualitatively, it was much more impure than the pure Qi-Blood obtained through Breathing Technique cultivation, containing some impurities and requiring secondary circulation to absorb.
Quantitatively, it was much weaker than the Wind Blade just summoned, only accounting for about ten to twenty percent of that energy.
Without thinking, Lou Yi fused this slightly impure Qi-Blood energy into his body.
This amount of energy didn’t require special filtering by him.
Relying on the strong physique of a Martial Saint, all impurities would be automatically filtered out quickly.
This talent was terrifying.
Imagine if he were fighting a group of cultivators, enduring various magical attacks from the cultivators.
Initially, his Gang Qi would have been exhausted, reaching his limit.
But after using the devouring talent, he could convert the cultivators’ magic into usable Qi-Blood energy, instantly becoming vigorous again, and even getting stronger as the battle continued.
’This is a weapon for group battles…’ Lou Yi thought with emotion.
Having obtained this devouring talent, he no longer needed to worry about exhausting his Gang Qi.
As long as the attack was energetic in form, it would be restrained by him and even used for his benefit.
Thinking of this, Lou Yi was very satisfied and prepared to leave the spot.
At this moment, the sky above the Fogless District still emitted traces of threatening energy.
The heavenly thunder had descended before but clearly still had residuals that hadn’t been fully released.
’Isn’t thunderbolt pure energy as well?’
A bright idea suddenly flashed through Lou Yi’s dark mind.
His heart stirred as he continued to activate the Tantalizing Talent towards the sky above him.
’Rumble!’
Heaven became enraged by Lou Yi, beginning to brew thunderbolts once more.
However, due to previous consumption, this time the thunderbolt was evidently less powerful, even its color changed from blue-purple to light blue.
’Crack!’
A jagged thunderbolt descended from the sky.
Lou Yi was already prepared, having activated the Talent of Tenacity, Thunder Repelling Talent, Strengthened Petrification Talent, and Glazed Gang Attire for himself.
’Crackle!’
The thunderbolt struck Lou Yi, causing him to grimace, his whole body numb and sore.
Less than 2% of the thunderbolt’s energy broke through Lou Yi’s defenses and was about to penetrate his body.
At this moment, Lou Yi activated the devouring talent.
The next instant, a faint white glow shimmered across his entire body, appearing somewhat illusory, as if in another dimension.
The thunderbolt energy that breached Lou Yi’s defense poured entirely into this space.
’It’s a bit tight and painful…’ Lou Yi could feel a reluctance in that space, nearing its limit of endurance.
’Swallow them all!’ Lou Yi shouted in a low voice.
The hazy white glow started to shake violently.
Wave after wave of fiery red energy was immediately converted and then injected into Lou Yi’s body, all being Qi-Blood energy converted from thunder energy.
These Qi-Blood energies were even purer than those converted from Wind Blade before, but still contained quite a bit of impurities.
To fully absorb them required the Breathing Technique to circulate numerous cycles, continuously filtering and refining them, which, of course, was faster than cultivating himself.
’So much energy.’ Lou Yi was shocked at the total energy converted from the thunderbolt.
These impurity-containing Qi-Blood energies had quickly surpassed Lou Yi’s original Qi-Blood total and were still increasing, showing no sign of decreasing.
’Thunderbolts contain too much energy, even after filtering out most of it, only 2% of the energy entering the body far exceeds his body’s contained energy…
After all, how can mortals compare with Heaven and Earth?’
’My word, it’s too much, I can’t contain it all.
Cultivators or Martial Artists’ bodies are like containers, naturally having limits on containing energy.’
But to make Lou Yi abandon so much Qi-Blood energy and expel it, he was extremely unwilling.
Wastefulness is disgraceful, especially when this Qi-Blood energy could significantly boost strength, it’s not just flowers and grass by the roadside.
’What method can utilize this energy…
Oh, right, it can be used to condense acupoints!’
He had already used the Knowledge Storage Technique to locate the Candle Dragon, Hidden Dragon, and Azure Dragon three acupoints.
Each acupoint required Gang Qi energy immersion for step-by-step refining, relying on time to temper it like a Magic Treasure.
With so much unusable energy currently at hand, wasn’t it perfect for condensing acupoints?
Lou Yi thought of this and no longer hesitated.
He directed all the terrifying Qi-Blood energy accumulating on him, like it was about to make his body explode, into his first acupoint, the Candle Dragon Acupoint.
With the influx of a large amount of Qi-Blood energy, the other dark areas of the acupoint, which had only a small region condensed, suddenly lit up.
It was being rapidly condensed and refined by Lou Yi!
One Acupoint (50/600) → One Acupoint (80/600) → One Acupoint (120/600)… One Acupoint (200/600)
By the time this thunderbolt disappeared, Lou Yi’s acupoint condensing progress increased instantly by 150 points!
Originally, if slowly polished with Gang Qi, it would have taken him twenty days to make one point progress.
Now he had saved what equated to three thousand days, more than eight years of effort!
Let the thunders come more fiercely!
Lou Yi continued to activate the Tantalizing Talent towards the sky above and silently muttered in his heart: “Old heavens, give me more thunder, come and give grandpa a massage.”
’Rumble!’
The sky above was enraged by Lou Yi again, and two more thunderbolts descended.
Their power was slightly stronger than before, but still far less than those that struck the goat-headed monster before.
Necessarily indicating that even Heaven and Earth have limits, releasing too frequently can drain one’s power.
Lou Yi was struck by these two bolts, grimacing with pain, his whole body sore and numb.
But the gains were significant too.
Under the devouring talent’s conversion, a portion of these two thunderbolts was also thoroughly turned into Qi-Blood energy, assisting him in condensing the acupoints.
The acupoint of the Candle Dragon completed its divine transformation progress more and more quickly, finally reaching One Acupoint (600/600).
The acupoint was thus perfectly condensed and divinely transformed!
Mid-stage Martial Saint (60/600, One Acupoint (600/600)) → Mid-stage Martial Saint (60/600, Two Acupoints (2/600))
At this moment, Lou Yi’s body turned slightly transparent.
And in a certain position in his chest, an acupoint suddenly lit up, shining brightly as if a tiny star was embedded within his body!
