Chapter 2188: Chapter 2188

Su Yang received the black energy, and the moment he touched it, his eyes widened. Because the feeling of this black energy was incredibly familiar, it was exactly the same as the illusion of Devouring the World on his body!

"This… this…" Su Yang was dumbfounded: "This seems to be the power of Devouring the World…"

"That's right!" Su Zhan nodded: "This is indeed the power of Devouring the World!"

Su Yang was stunned, staring wide-eyed at the black energy before him.

Even though he had only touched a portion, he could clearly feel the power of this mass of black energy. And in front of him, such a vast area covered by black energy, just how terrifying is this power?

"Why is there power of Devouring the World in the palace of the Demon Abyss?" Su Yang asked in surprise.

Su Zhan pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I suspect it might be related to the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book!"

"Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book!?" Su Yang's eyes widened in shock: "Why would it be related to the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book?"

"I wonder if you've heard of a legend…" Su Zhan said: "After the Demon Abyss appeared in the Nine Realms, no one could enter it. The only profitable exploration people had of the Demon Abyss was finding someone who had walked out of the Demon Abyss at its edge. And this person was holding a book!"

Su Yang nodded, he had heard this information.

"And this book was originally the focus of everyone in the Nine Realms. However, after that person who walked out of the Demon Abyss died, the book suddenly disappeared." Su Zhan said: "The people of the Nine Realms, including the Saints, didn't even have time to see what the book was about, before it vanished without a trace!"

Su Yang thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Father, do you mean this book is the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book!?"

"I suspect there's a very high possibility!" Su Zhan said.

"Isn't this the book left behind by our Su Family ancestors?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"No!" Su Zhan shook his head: "This book was discovered when I was young, and the secret techniques within are profoundly mysterious. Although our Su Family is considered one of the hidden clans, the truth is the secret techniques passed down in the Su Family are quite ordinary and far removed from the techniques in the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book. So I always practiced according to the secret techniques in the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, which led to my current level of cultivation!"

Su Yang's eyes widened; he hadn't expected the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book to have such an origin.

If it is true, then the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book might indeed be the book that came out of the Demon Abyss.

It is precisely because the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book originated from the Demon Abyss that it contains the cultivation methods of Devouring the World. Perhaps it is for this reason that they cultivated Devouring the World and weren't drained of power by the Demon Abyss!

Thinking of this, Su Yang realized something and finally understood why Su Zhan had said earlier that cultivating Devouring the World would prevent their power from being extracted!

"It's incredible that this entire area is filled with the power of Devouring the World…" Su Yang was shocked: "How powerful must this strength be?"

"What you're seeing now is actually not a lot." Su Zhan shook his head: "When I first entered, this power occupied half of the palace. Now, only this much is left!"

"What?" Su Yang's eyes widened, looking around in astonishment.

This palace covers a vast area, about the size of several football fields. If that's true, then hasn't the power of Devouring the World already shrunk by seventy percent over these decades?

"Why is that?" Su Yang asked in surprise.

Su Zhan remained silent, he circulated the secret technique of Devouring the World and quietly began to cultivate on the side.

After a while, it was seen that a nearly invisible wisp of black energy slowly drifted towards Su Zhan, merging into his body.

Su Yang's eyes widened, exclaiming: "Our cultivation of the secret technique of Devouring the World can… can absorb this power?"

Su Zhan slowly nodded, saying solemnly: "Yes, the power we have after cultivating Devouring the World comes from here!"

"This… this… why is it ?" Su Yang exclaimed, his intuition telling him that this wasn't a good thing.

Su Zhan shook his head: "I don't know why, but I suspect it's highly likely that the creator of this secret technique was searching for a furnace, wanting to be reborn!"

"Rebirth?" Su Yang was startled in his heart, this wasn't a good thing.

"The power here is likely left by that person. He spread the secret technique of Devouring the World, making people cultivate it. When people cultivate, his power leaves here bit by bit, condensing on that person." Su Zhan said solemnly: "When his power condenses to a certain extent, he will be reborn within that person. And the person cultivating Devouring the World will ultimately become his furnace, the body he borrows for rebirth. All the cultivation is nothing but preparation for that person's rebirth!"

Su Yang's eyes widened, his complexion changed instantly.

If that were true, wouldn't all their cultivation be for that person's rebirth?

After thinking for a while, Su Yang suddenly said: "But, judging by our cultivation situation, we haven't absorbed that much power of Devouring the World. This power here, even a small portion is far stronger than what I've cultivated. So many forces have disappeared, it can't just be because of people cultivating… "

Su Zhan glanced at Su Yang, speaking solemnly: "Yang'er, you must know, in the universe, there aren't only the Nine Realms. The number of living beings in the universe is far beyond what the Nine Realms can encompass. How many of those people are cultivating Devouring the World? With so many people cultivating together, how much of the power of Devouring the World would be dispersed?"

Su Yang realized, his heart once again filled with shock. If that is true, then the master of Devouring the World really accomplished something that could shock the entire universe.

"So, what we're cultivating might not be the strongest." Su Yang said: "The person he ultimately chooses to become the furnace should be the strongest one, right?"

"Though that may be true, once he's successfully reborn, will he let others use his power?" Su Zhan said: "Our cultivation of Devouring the World, part of the power comes from here, another part comes from ourselves. In other words, while we're cultivating, we not only absorb power from here but also extract power from our own bodies to support Devouring the World, eventually causing this power to grow stronger and stronger."
