Chapter 424: Chapter 427: The Shadow of the Giant Rat"With your current state, you still dare to call yourself Beidou Divine Sovereign? You’ve clearly fallen onto the Demon Path." Wang Cai looked at Beidou Divine Sovereign, his eyes filled with pity. "What is the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal?" Mu Can had never even heard of such a thing, but the name alone radiated a kind of magic power, as if just hearing it evoked terror. "The Devouring Sky Demon Crystal is a mysterious crystal that only appears in the vast uninhabited areas of the Supreme Interface. When this type of crystal was first discovered, it even caused quite a stir in the Supreme Interface. Think about it, just by absorbing this red crystal into your body, you can imbue your Cultivation Technique with a trace of devouring characteristics. And this kind of devouring isn’t ordinary; it can swallow Spiritual Power, Soul Power, and even Life Force into one’s body. Moreover, one could cultivate without any bottleneck; as long as you devour enough energy, you can advance." Wang Cai began to explain. Let alone Mu Can, even Beidou Divine Sovereign, who absorbed that red crystal into his body, didn’t know what it really was. "And then? This sounds exactly like a Demon Technique. Even the Demon Clan isn’t this brutal." Mu Can clicked his tongue in wonder, but he knew that Wang Cai hadn’t finished his story yet. There must be strong side effects to the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal; otherwise, it would definitely cause widespread conflict, as no one could refuse the opportunity to break through without limitations. "Then, after those who absorbed the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal reached a certain level of power, they died," Wang Cai stated indifferently. "Died? How did they die?" Mu Can felt a chill in his heart. What kind of place was the vast uninhabited area in the Supreme Interface for it to produce such potent crystals? "Die? Nobody knows how they died. Not even their corpses were left behind. However, one thing is certain: when those who obtained the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal reached a certain level of Cultivation, all of their Spiritual Power, Soul Energy, and even Life Energy would be stripped away by the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal. After devouring the person who obtained it into nothingness, the crystal would then search for its next host. As news of this spread, no one in the Supreme Interface dared to touch these crystals anymore. Even someone from the All Things Realm died because of it," Wang Cai revealed a secret from the history of the Supreme Interface. This was also because the upheaval caused by the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal in the Supreme Interface back then was too significant, and it was not just one crystal but ten. They caused a bloodbath in the Supreme Interface until all those in the All Things Realm joined forces to collect and seal the Devouring Sky Demon Crystals and expel them from the Supreme Interface, restoring peace. Now, recalling the past after hearing Beidou Divine Sovereign’s words, Wang Cai’s eyes were filled with utter sympathy. Anyone who dared to meddle with the Devouring Sky Demon Crystal met with no good end; they were devoured without even bones remaining. Some even lost their sanity in the end and devoured their own relatives, an especially cruel act. "How do you know so much? Who are you, really?" Beidou Divine Sovereign didn’t fully understand his own extraordinary past encounters. He never expected that one day, in such a strange place, his secrets would be seen through by a dog. "Who am I? I am your grandpa Wang Cai." Wang Cai still held a grudge, having previously been captured by Beidou Divine Sovereign who nearly stewed him into a pot of dog meat, then was directly killed by one of his Spiritual Power Avatars. He had never suffered such a loss before. But it wasn’t a big deal. Wang Cai thought to himself, not knowing yet who will be crying soon. "Still talking tough even when death is upon you? If you don’t talk now, I have ways of making you speak later. If you kneel down and beg for mercy, I might spare you; otherwise, it’s been so long since I devoured flesh and blood, and I’m already dying of thirst." Beidou Divine Sovereign stared at Wang Cai and licked his lips, far from his previous immortal and transcendent appearance, totally a pervert through and through. "Me, kneel? You old codger, let me tell you, if you kneel before Lord Wang Cai now, and if Lord Wang Cai is in a good mood, he might spare your life so you can drag out your wretched existence a bit longer and not lose your life. Otherwise, you just wait to perish into the ether." No matter who Wang Cai faced, even if he was not sure he could win, his sharp tongue could infuriate anyone, let alone now that he had leverage over Beidou Divine Sovereign. "Beidou Headmaster, you should listen to him. You can’t dismiss his words." Although Mu Can felt somewhat reluctant, after all, it was a former head of the Immortal Ancient Academy who had fallen so low. If it were possible not to kill him, Mu Can would not do it. "Pah! Kid, don’t think just because you practiced some Spiritual Power Avatars you can show off in front of me. No matter how astonishing your chess skills are, I hope your fighting ability matches your chess skills." The notion of kneeling to a dog and begging for mercy was too much for his pride. Despite his current old appearance, which was the result of years of torment by the Spiritual Slave Seal, don’t forget that Beidou Divine Sovereign was someone who had smoothly progressed on the path of Cultivation from the start, reaching the peak in the Mortal World. Making such a man bow was as difficult as breaking through to the Void Level. "That old geezer, stop the idle talk. Lord Wang Cai is standing right here; if you’ve got the guts, come and kill me. Let me witness what so-called Devouring Sky Demon Crystal is all about." Wang Cai held his large head high, looking down at Beidou Divine Sovereign with his snout. Beidou Divine Sovereign almost burst a lung with rage at this sight. When had he ever suffered such treatment? This dog was way out of line; he had to skin it and eat it alive. "Then I will satisfy you." Beidou Divine Sovereign slowly brought his hands together in front of him, with Spiritual Power surging through his body, a giant rat phantom appeared behind him. The rat looked hideous, and its blood-red eyes were full of madness, causing even Mu Can to feel uneasy. "Sure enough, this old guy is afraid of death. Do you see this phantom? He probably devoured a giant rat beneath our feet and is barely scraping by until now," Wang Cai sighed endlessly. Life is full of uncertainties; who could have imagined that a former head of the Immortal Ancient Academy would end up like this?
