Chapter 4490 – They Don’t Believe

In less than three days, the energy contained within the White Jades and the Black Jades in Yang Kai’s surroundings was completely exhausted. The Spirit Jades turned into dull and dim waste as a result. That was not all. Over two hundred bottles of pills had also been cleanly devoured by him.

In exchange, his cultivation rose from the First-Step Earth Realm to the Third-Step Earth Realm.

This outcome surprised him. He originally thought that he could increase his cultivation by five or six Minor Realms with so many cultivation resources, but in the end he was unable to continue after reaching the Third-Step Earth Realm.

There were many reasons for this outcome.

The Heaven Devouring Battle Law was powerful indeed. As soon as Yang Kai activated this Evil Art, his body would turn into a bottomless hole that refined all the energy in the world for his own use; however, his body was unable to withstand the burden.

It would not have been a problem for his Sixth-Step Open Heaven Realm body, but in the Divine Armament World, he was just a trivial Earth Realm Master. His body was unable to digest the enormous amount of power pouring into his body in such a short period of time.

Some of the energy was inadvertently wasted, but a larger portion of the energy was diverted to temper the physical quality of his body. That was why his cultivation only increased from the First-Step Earth Realm to the Third-Step Earth Realm.

With the improvement of his physique, his Dragon Vein was further stimulated. In turn, the power of his Dragon Vein further enhanced his physical quality...

It was worth the effort and sacrifice.

However, the improved strength of his physical body resulted in him needing more energy than ordinary to advance to the next Realm.

On another note, Yang Kai was starting to feel the drawbacks of cultivating the Heaven Devouring Battle Law.

Most people would suffer from a weak foundation if their cultivation improved too quickly, and a weak foundation would put them at risk of experiencing cultivation dissonance one day. Fortunately, he did not have such worries. His original cultivation was in the Sixth-Step Open Heaven Realm after all, so there was nothing to worry about since his comprehension and consolidation was already far above the mere Earth Realm. This was a drawback he could ignore.

The more serious drawback was that the energy devoured by the Heaven Devouring Battle Law was very complex and filled with impurities. This Secret Art was meant to devour all the energy in the world for one’s own use, but it did not differentiate between what energy was useful and what was harmful, everything was simply devoured altogether.

Although he only started cultivating this Secret Art, he was already feeling the effects of this drawback.

Surprisingly, the power of his Dragon Vein was slowly removing the impurities in his body and refining it into pure, useful energy.

A sudden understanding washed over Yang Kai. It would seem that the Heaven Devouring Battle Law could be cultivated as long as the impurities drawn into the body could be purged.

[I’m not sure if I can do that when I return to the 3,000 Worlds. If it’s possible, then my speed when refining large amounts of cultivation resources will be increased significantly. I should find an opportunity to experiment in the future.]
