The Secret of the Demon Empress's Godhood, the Abyssal Sage King's Scheme

"Tell me more specifically about this secret technique and your husband's Law Orb," Chen An asked further.

After carefully searching his memories, Chen An recalled that the Nether Emperor and Ghost Emperor did indeed possess memories concerning some of the Holy Spirit Cult's secret techniques, such as the technique for increasing the age of Soul Rings.

Nowadays, Soul Ring age could be increased by raising the age of Soul Spirits, making the Holy Spirit Cult's method of enhancing Soul Rings far less useful.

But ten thousand years ago, the Holy Spirit Cult was basically the only one capable of increasing the age of their own Soul Rings. By raising their Soul Ring age, they could gain more powerful Soul Skills and thereby improve their overall combat strength.

Besides this kind of secret technique, the Holy Spirit Cult had quite a few others, all rather sinister and bizarre, perfectly fitting their overall style.

As for the secret technique mentioned by the Demon Empress, he had also singled it out, believing it to be the most likely one.

The secret technique the Demon Empress described was indeed the one Chen An had suspected: continuously devouring and refining living beings to obtain immense energy from them, then relying on that power to forcibly raise one's cultivation and charge at the hundredth-level bottleneck.

This secret technique could make use of the devoured living beings to the utmost extent. Put simply, it meant eating them so thoroughly that not even bones remained, completely devouring them. Only then would the resulting energy be sufficient.

Both the Nether Emperor and Ghost Emperor cultivated this secret technique, but they had no way to replicate the Demon Empress's path to godhood.

Because they were human, their bodies could not withstand energy as terrifyingly well as a super Soul Beast
