Chapter 98: Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Hunyan let out a helpless sigh, but in the end still told Ye Chen the method.

"Don't die in the Heavenly Tribulation."

"No way, I will definitely be able to get through it."

Ye Chen said resolutely.

"I believe you can get through it."

Hunyan finished speaking and said nothing more.

Moreover, Ye Chen's mind also gained a new cultivation technique—the Seizing Dao Creation Art.

Ye Chen quickly skimmed this new technique and also roughly understood its characteristics.

This is a technique that can seize others' cultivation and convert it into one's own, but doing so harms heavenly harmony, so it's no wonder Hunyan said he might very well die in the next Heavenly Tribulation.

"Perhaps it's really possible to die in the Heavenly Tribulation."

Ye Chen said bitterly in his heart.

Just as Ye Chen finished reading this technique and was about to cultivate, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

【The host actually obtained a Seizing Heaven and Earth Creation technique by a fortunate coincidence; this method not only can absorb others' cultivation, but can also turn heavenly dao opportunities into one's own—extremely terrifying!】

【But the name of this technique seems mistaken; the system will correct it—it is called the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art!】

【Now this technique can absorb others' cultivation as well as their physique, and can also absorb heavenly dao opportunities! It can contend with heaven, seize from earth, and has no side effects whatsoever.】

Ye Chen: "!!!???"

Ye Chen was so shocked he couldn't speak for a moment.

How could he not know the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art? That is the Ruthless Great Emperor's technique!

A woman of astonishing talent and beauty, not seeking immortality, only waiting for your return in the mortal world—this saying, Ye Chen still remembers to this day.

"System, I knew it, you still dote on me!"

【You are the host of this system; if the system doesn't dote on you, who would it dote on?】

"I love you so much!"

【Get lost.】

"Got it!"

Ye Chen was just thinking a second ago that he might die in the Heavenly Tribulation, and the next second his system sent him a luxurious gift!

Ye Chen immediately began cultivating, and as soon as he started he sensed the profundity of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art.

His body was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing spiritual energy, and even the surrounding heavenly dao fortune was being absorbed by him.

Ordinary people doing so would surely suffer a tremendous backlash, but the system has said that cultivating this technique has no side effects whatsoever, so there will be no heavenly dao backlash.

At this moment, Hunyan sensed that Ye Chen had begun cultivating the technique it gave him, and a flicker of helplessness passed across its dull eyes.

"If he had a choice, he probably wouldn't do this."

Hunyan said, but the next instant its dull, autumn-less eyes were shocked!

"How is this possible!"

Hunyan resides in Ye Chen's brow; it naturally can sense the technique Ye Chen is cultivating, so it can also sense what technique Ye Chen is practicing, unaware of how many grades higher it is compared to the one it gave.

Moreover, it clearly sensed that Ye Chen's cultivation of this technique has no side effects.

Furthermore, Ye Chen is also absorbing the spiritual rhythm of heaven and earth—how terrifying, something even mighty beings cannot achieve.

Yet Ye Chen hasn't even entered the Golden Core stage, yet he can do this; such a technique, wherever placed, would be fought over to the point of bloodshed.

"I remember the technique I gave him only allowed seizing others' cultivation; why can he now absorb the spiritual rhythm of heaven and earth?"

Hunyan was puzzled, and very puzzled.

"At some point unknown to me, what exactly changed about his body?"

Hunyan was shocked to the point of being unable to add; Hunyan doesn't know of the system's existence, so naturally it cannot understand the change in the technique it gave Ye Chen.

At this moment, Ye Chen's aura was surging wildly; Hunyan sensed the change in his cultivation, and despite having lived so many years, it could hardly calm its shocked feelings.

Every technique and elixir appearing on Ye Chen shocked its cognition.

"Perhaps my previous words were unnecessary."

Hunyan said, and when it spoke those words, its eyes showed an obvious smile.

Afterward, Hunyan fell into silence, while Ye Chen's cultivation continued to surge wildly.

This surge continued until the peak of the Extreme Boundary before gradually stopping.

Ye Chen originally wanted to continue cultivating, but helplessly, he hadn't yet prepared for the tribulation; he knew that the tribulation to break through to Golden Core would be extremely dangerous, and without sufficient confidence he wouldn't lightly attempt it.

He had considered avoiding the tribulation, but Hunyan said the tribulation must be undergone.

If one does not undergo the tribulation, there is no heavenly dao baptism; without that baptism, one will not be acknowledged by the heavenly dao.

This way, the next tribulation will be not only more dangerous, but one's own cultivation will also not become stable and strong.

In short, undergoing the tribulation is definitely necessary; he just needs to make full preparations.

Hunyan sensed Ye Chen had stopped cultivating and spoke: "Do you want to consider taking the initiative?"

"That is inevitable."

Ye Chen directly replied; obviously, even before Hunyan said that, he had already thought so.

"Hunyan, based on your judgment, at most what level of Golden Core cultivator could I fight?"

"Seven or so layers; eight layers might also be possible, but the result could be mutual destruction."

After Hunyan finished speaking, Ye Chen let out a light exhale of turbid breath.

"I understand."

As Ye Chen's words fell, just as he was about to leave, suddenly a loud shout came from afar.

"Ahhh! Dead old man! I never want to speak to you again!"

Ye Chen heard this voice and instantly grew alert; though the voice was very far from him, logically he should have been able to sense this person's presence, yet he had felt nothing.

"Interesting, truly interesting."

Hun Yan suddenly spoke, and the first thing it said was "interesting," which left Ye Chen momentarily bewildered.

"What's interesting?"

Ye Chen asked.

"Someone actually threw their own offspring, who possesses the Myriad Spirits Body constitution, into this world, without even fearing that this offspring would be taken by others as a supplement and mated with."

Ye Chen: "!?"

"What the hell?"

However, Hun Yan did not directly answer Ye Chen's question, but instead said, "Hurry, intercept this person. The Myriad Spirits Body is a rare constitution."

"If you obtain her, your path of cultivation will become much smoother, and this constitution can also help you withstand one Heavenly Tribulation. Moreover, you can keep the harvest from the Heavenly Tribulation — there won't be any loss at all."

After hearing this, Ye Chen's figure instantly vanished from the spot, and he said as he went, "Fuck, you should've said so earlier!"

"But the key is, you can't do it right now."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Chen asked in confusion.

"It requires mating, and you…"

Hun Yan said, looking at Ye Chen with the gaze of one regarding a little brat.

Looking at Hun Yan's gaze, Ye Chen suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness — like seeing an alluring widow yet being unable to perform.

"I suddenly hate my identity as a child…"

Ye Chen said, and at this very moment, he also arrived at the place where the voice had originated. When he got there, he found a girl of about twelve or thirteen sitting in a crater she had smashed out, curiously surveying her surroundings.
