Chapter 90: Devouring Everything
"Our final auction item today is the meditation technique that you are all familiar with. It can actually also be classified as a cultivation method."
"You may not be fully aware, but the so-called cultivation method is a technique that is many levels higher than the meditation techniques you know."
Jiang Li's magnetic and calm voice echoed through the luxurious and brightly lit auction hall, like an invisible force instantly capturing everyone's attention.
The people who were still quietly talking and whispering now fell silent, their eyes locked on Jiang Li on the auction stage, filled with curiosity and expectation.
"The name of our final item is the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique.' The only pity is that this technique is a fragmented version, only having the first level of cultivation. However, even just the first level of this technique has immeasurable power."
Jiang Li paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping across the crowd of eager and questioning eyes below, intentionally leaving a suspenseful pause to pique their curiosity.
The Soul Masters below could not help but start whispering to each other, murmuring voices rising throughout the hall. Their eyes flashed with confusion and curiosity.
"The first level of this technique, the Spirit Devouring Chapter, primarily allows the user to devour all the energy in the world. Specifically, the Soul Power in Douluo Continent's environment, anything with Soul Power can be directly devoured, thus enhancing oneself and increasing one's strength."
Jiang Li finally revealed the secret of this mysterious technique, speaking clearly, word by word.
The 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' was so domineering, devouring all Soul Power to enhance oneself.
Jiang Li had unknowingly received this technique through a lottery draw, but unfortunately, he had only drawn the first level.
At first, he thought that the first level wouldn't be very powerful, but after delving deeper into it, he realized just how domineering this technique really was.
It devours all energy!
And on Douluo Continent, where cultivation is primarily based on Soul Power, this means it devours all Soul Power.
Jiang Li knew very well that, apart from the Soul Power in the air, every grass and tree, every living thing, and even the Soul Master's body, their Martial Souls, and Soul Rings were all made of Soul Power.
He could even suspect that, if the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' were cultivated to its peak, it could potentially devour Martial Souls and Soul Rings, which was the most domineering aspect of the first level of this technique.
However, he also knew that although this technique was incredibly powerful, the difficulty of cultivation was immense.
From what he learned from the system, the complete technique was even more powerful, capable of devouring emotions, desires, and even space and time once cultivated to a profound level.
Everything with form and formlessness could be devoured!
From this, one could imagine just how powerful the complete 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' truly was.
But relying on just the first level was far from enough, and the dimensional level of Douluo Continent could not support the cultivation of the complete technique. This was why he had decided to auction it off.
On one hand, it was to gain a substantial amount of Gold Soul Coins, as he still needed them for lottery draws in the system to bring out future auction items.
On the other hand, he wanted to use this technique to change the future trajectory of Douluo Continent.
In doing so, he could conveniently acquire more auction points, allowing him to purchase treasures that could enhance his own strength from the system.
He knew that the system shop even sold Soul Power levels, but the prices were not cheap, and the system shop only accepted auction points as currency.
One could say that only by changing the future of Douluo Continent could he have the opportunity to enhance his strength.
If he followed a normal cultivation path, it would take too long to reach the Title Douluo level. It would be an extremely long and difficult road.
Therefore, he could only play a game of chess, carefully strategizing and planning, and quickly striving to change the future of Douluo Continent to gain a large number of auction points.
And the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' was an excellent opportunity to change the continent.
Whether it was Shrek Academy, symbolizing justice, the cradle that nurtured countless talented Soul Masters and guarded peace and justice on Douluo Continent.
Or the Holy Spirit Sect, symbolizing evil, an organization filled with darkness and slaughter, trying to disrupt the balance of the continent.
No matter who obtained the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique,' it would inevitably stir up endless waves on Douluo Continent, changing the entire continent's landscape.
As Jiang Li explained in detail, many Soul Masters and top forces, such as Shrek Academy, Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, Body Sect, and others, all paused in surprise, their faces showing astonishment.
Soon, each person showed a serious expression, deep in thought, their brows furrowed.
Their eyes gleamed with contemplation as they processed Jiang Li's previous words.
Jiang Li's explanation had been a general concept, and they hadn't fully reacted yet, needing time to digest and understand the terrifying power of this technique.
"Devour everything with Soul Power?"
"This doesn't feel right."
From the direction of Shrek Academy, Mu Lao keenly realized something was off with Jiang Li's explanation.
No matter how he looked at it, the explanation had a strange undertone.
Especially when his sharp gaze landed on the tattered 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' on the auction table, his unease grew stronger, and it felt like an invisible pressure was gradually closing in on him.
He himself had a top-tier Martial Soul: the Sacred Light Dragon Martial Soul, and he was very close to the ultimate light, which was a powerful and holy power.
Yet, instinctively, he sensed a strong repulsion coming from the auction table, from the technique in front of him.
This feeling was so clear and intense that it filled him with wariness.
Logically, only dark or evil powers would cause his Martial Soul to feel uncomfortable, but the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' had done just that.
Recalling what the Star Auction Pavilion had said about the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique,' Mu Lao finally realized, a chill creeping up his spine.
"Devour everything with Soul Power, Martial Souls? Soul Beasts? Soul Rings?"
Mu Lao muttered to himself, his voice low and serious, and the deeper he thought, the more he realized how terrifying this was.
The 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' was basically a cultivation technique that could destroy the continent in the future.
It was too terrifying.
After all, he knew the situation on Douluo Continent; whether it's Soul Masters or Soul Beasts, everyone contained Soul Power within.
If this 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' could really devour all things with Soul Power, Douluo Continent would be thrown into endless chaos, and it would be an unprecedented disaster.
If the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' fell into the hands of righteous people, it might not have too great an impact. They might be able to use this power properly, bringing peace and prosperity to the continent.
But if it fell into the hands of an Evil Soul Master, Mu Lao couldn't even imagine what kind of slaughterous scenes would unfold on Douluo Continent.
It might not take long.
The entire continent would fall into endless darkness, with countless lives perishing in the disaster.
Evil Soul Masters already cultivated fast, and once they obtained the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique,' they could recklessly devour Soul Power and increase their own strength.
The Evil Soul Master faction would undoubtedly grow stronger in a short amount of time, even threatening the safety of the entire Douluo Continent.
Mu Lao could not even fathom this scene, his heart filled with worry and fear.
