Surging Forward by Leaps and Bounds

It was well known that Third-Rank Saints who comprehended the Devouring Rule and its branch rules could surge forward by leaps and bounds by devouring those who comprehended the same rules. In a short time, their Rule Power could advance at a breakneck pace, saving countless years.

This was especially true for those who had attained sainthood through the Supreme Rule, the Devouring Rule. They could devour the branch rules of all kinds of Devouring Rules, rather than being like Third-Rank Saints who comprehended branch rules and could only devour the corresponding branch rules.

As a Supreme Rule, although there were an enormous number of Third-Rank Saints who comprehended its branch rules, that was only in comparison with other rules. Third-Rank Saints on the Xuanhuang Continent were ultimately limited in number. If counted carefully, the Third-Rank Saints who comprehended the Devouring Rule and its branch rules were still few.

Moreover, those who comprehended the Devouring Rule and its branch rules tended to hide themselves deeply. Even though Song Ankang had planted spies among several Super Races, he had found only a handful.

Fortunately, aside from devouring rules of the same kind, the Devouring Rule could also devour other rules to nourish one's essence, qi, and spirit. It could even improve one's comprehension. Once one's essence, qi, spirit, and comprehension had risen, comprehending the Devouring Rule would yield twice the result with half the effort.

Over the years, Song Ankang had also devoured quite a few branch rules of comprehension rules, essence-qi-spirit rules, array rules... It was precisely because of this that his essence, qi, spirit, and comprehension had improved so quickly. His comprehension had already surpassed a thousand, while his essence, qi, and spirit had exceeded ten thousand.

His cultivation foundation, array mastery, alchemy mastery... were all improving as well.
