Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 510: Chapter 506: Forging the Heaven-Devouring Gate

As a Supreme Celestial Skill, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill provided more than just abundant Spiritual Qi. Its true wonders far surpassed what any ordinary Cultivation Technique could compare to!

The Heaven-Devouring Sect was a Secret Technique that could only be mastered after stepping into the Earth Martial Realm.

It was just like the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow that Ning Jiang had cultivated in the past.

In a sense, this Heaven-Devouring Sect was similar to the Celestial Gate found within the body of a Celestial Martial Realm King.

After a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert shattered their Celestial Gate and stepped into the King Realm, a new Celestial Gate would form inside their body. Through this Celestial Gate, they could absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth Laws.

The Heaven-Devouring Sect achieved a similar, marvelous effect!

’The Heaven-Devouring Sect is more like a Magical Treasure, but one that exists inside the body. Once I successfully refine the Heaven-Devouring Sect, my speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi will increase dramatically. Moreover, I’ll no longer have to worry about my body being unable to withstand massive amounts of Energy.’

The body is like a container, and a container can only hold a finite amount of Energy.

Back in the Six Eastern Provinces, when Ning Jiang fought the Seven Great Kings, he had to sacrifice a Celestial Pill to summon the Law of Thunder. This was because his body couldn’t handle the pill’s immense Energy, leaving him with no choice but to offer it as a sacrifice.

And on Meteor Island, he used the Power of Stars to channel the Big Dipper. That was a type of Array Power, and that Power never entered his body either.

But with the Heaven-Devouring Sect, everything would change.

The Heaven-Devouring Sect was a container, one that could hold a truly massive amount of Power!

If Ning Jiang had possessed the Heaven-Devouring Sect back then, he could have directly absorbed the Celestial Pill and drawn its power into his body. The force he could have unleashed would have been far greater. With his methods, the Seven Great Kings would have been doomed.

Of course, the Ning Jiang of that time had not yet entered the Earth Martial Realm, so he couldn’t have cultivated the Heaven-Devouring Sect anyway.

Slowly closing his eyes, Ning Jiang formed a seal with his hands. The Heaven and Earth Stone before him gradually rose and levitated in the air.

The Celestial Gate of a Celestial Martial Realm King is formed from the Rules of Heaven and Earth.

This Heaven and Earth Stone, also known as a Heaven and Earth Stone, was a wondrous object born from the world itself, containing faint traces of the Rules of Heaven and Earth.

”Boundless Heaven and Earth, lend me your Technique...”

As Ning Jiang chanted the mantra for the Heaven-Devouring Sect, his hands rapidly formed a series of Seal Techniques. With each change in the seals, the Heaven and Earth Stone before him began to tremble violently.

A moment later, with a loud CRACK, the Heaven and Earth Stone shattered.

A ray of black and white light shot into the air.

Ning Jiang’s eyes flew open. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. The blood essence merged with the black and white light, gradually transforming until it slowly formed a gate.

The gate was black and white, but insubstantial like smoke, as if a gust of wind could make it disappear.

Forging the Heaven-Devouring Sect was only in its first stage. The next part was the most critical.

’Normally, I would never dare to forge the Heaven-Devouring Sect so easily. Besides the Heaven and Earth Stone, it also requires the Sun and Moon Power. But now, I have nothing to worry about.’

As Ning Jiang spoke, his eyes flashed. A silver moon appeared in his left eye, and a great sun in his right.

”Sun and Moon Divine Eye, condense!”

With a low shout from Ning Jiang, the sun and moon manifested, hovering on either side of the nascent gate. The Sun and Moon Power from them streamed in continuously, refining it.

The rest of the refining process was rather tedious. He had to continuously use the Sun and Moon Power to forge the Heaven-Devouring Sect, and every hour, Ning Jiang had to bite his tongue and spit out another mouthful of blood essence.

After a full day and night, even Ning Jiang’s face had grown pale.

His mood, however, was quite euphoric. In the space before him floated a ball of light, shining so brightly it resembled a small sun. As the light radiated outward, a heart-pounding ripple of power quietly gathered and spread.

Within the ball of light, one could faintly see a gate quietly taking shape.

’Almost there.’

A smile touched the corners of Ning Jiang’s lips. Even with his steady disposition, he felt a surge of excitement.

By the second day, the once-blurry gateway within the ball of light had become much clearer. An even more terrifying ripple of power began to silently emanate from it.

The refinement of the Heaven-Devouring Sect had reached a critical moment; it was now seventy to eighty percent complete. If it were to fail at this point, even Ning Jiang would probably cough up blood from sheer frustration.

Fortunately, there were no accidents. Time passed smoothly into the third day.

HUM!

A terrifying, world-devouring power was released from the ball of light in front of Ning Jiang. As the light slowly faded, a black and white gateway, about a foot tall, appeared before his eyes.

WHOOSH.

A plume of white air slowly escaped from Ning Jiang’s mouth.

”The Heaven-Devouring Sect... it’s finally complete.”

For the past three days, he had been continuously activating his Sun and Moon Divine Eye, and now he felt a profound exhaustion. But compared to his gains, the effort was well worth it!

With a wave of his sleeve, three drops of cyan blood appeared before him. Each drop was the size of a human head. This was the Heart Blood of the Qingtian Roc.

”Go.”

With a thought, Ning Jiang directed one of the drops of blood to enter the Heaven-Devouring Sect.

’It seems one drop of blood is the limit.’

Ning Jiang murmured. He could feel that after accepting one drop of blood, the Heaven-Devouring Sect could not absorb any more Energy. The Energy contained within this single drop, if unleashed, could rival a Supreme Celestial Powerhouse.

In other words, the current Heaven-Devouring Sect could hold an amount of Energy roughly on par with the Supreme Celestial Rank.

Ning Jiang was already very satisfied, however.

This was only the initial stage of the Heaven-Devouring Sect. With further refinement, it would grow even stronger and be able to contain more Energy.

”Absorb.”

Ning Jiang opened his mouth and inhaled. The foot-tall Heaven-Devouring Sect instantly shrank, flew into his mouth, and was swallowed in one gulp.

When the Heaven-Devouring Sect appeared again, it was already inside his Dantian.

’With this Heaven-Devouring Sect, I have another life-saving measure.’

Ning Jiang smiled faintly. If he ever encountered danger, he could activate the Qingtian Roc’s blood within the Heaven-Devouring Sect. The resulting power would be enough to match the Supreme Celestial Rank!

This trump card would have a miraculous effect at a critical moment.

Not long after he put away the Heaven-Devouring Sect, a chaotic clamor erupted outside.

「Outside the house.」

”Zhou Rong, where is that man? Tell him to get his ass out here and die,” Huang Ling said, her expression cold and grim.

Beside her stood several figures exuding dense Demon Qi. On the skin of their necks, one could still see snake scales.

’Oh no, the people from the Three-headed Snake Clan really came,’ Zhou Rong thought. ’I have to find a way to warn Young Master Ning and tell him to get out of here quickly.’

”Huang Ling, the woman you found this time is quite a looker. And a virgin, no less. It’s been a while since I’ve played with such high-quality goods.”

Next to Huang Ling, an expert from the Three-headed Snake Clan licked his lips, his gaze burning as he stared at Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong’s delicate body couldn’t help but tremble under that gaze. She knew all too well that women who fell into the hands of the Three-headed Snake Clan never met a good end.

Just then, the sound of footsteps rang out, and a young man in white walked out.

Seeing him, Zhou Rong quickly said, ”Young Master Ning, you have to go! This is all my fault, don’t get involved...”

”It’s you!”

However, a voice filled with utter terror cut Zhou Rong off.

The young experts of the Three-headed Snake Clan were staring at Ning Jiang as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes filled with deep-seated fear.
