Three Demon Devouring Arts

After making some inquiries, Zhou Feng finally discovered that there was a stone carving at the summit of Bitter Bamboo Peak.

The stone carving recorded all the supreme arts that could be learned on Bitter Bamboo Peak.

However, when he had first come up the mountain, he had been told not to go to the summit under normal circumstances.

So he had never gone to the summit.

It was only after hearing the news from a senior disciple brother that he learned of it.

Of course, that senior disciple brother had already disappeared.

After devouring another Demon Devouring Gu, the spiritual energy within him became even more mixed.

However, both the amount of spiritual energy and the richness of his vital energy increased once more.

His two successful hunts had also put the others on Bitter Bamboo Peak on alert.

After all, the people who had gone out with Zhou Feng twice in a row had never returned.

The other senior brothers and sisters of Bitter Bamboo Peak no longer regarded him as a newcomer.

Zhou Feng's hunting plan instantly ran into a bottleneck.

So, taking advantage of this lull, he came to the summit.

"Demon Devouring Armor?"

The first thing carved on the stone was a defensive spell.

This defensive spell was called Demon Devouring Armor. Once he reached the beginner level, it could form a suit of armor over his body.

The armor was formed entirely from spiritual energy and possessed extremely high resistance against spells.

Combined with the tough physique tempered through the Demon Devouring Art, his close-combat ability would be completely maxed out.

Moreover, Demon Devouring Armor had a total of nine layers. With every layer he advanced, the armor would become more real.

At the later stages, he would not even need to activate it manually. It would automatically manifest whenever he was harmed.

It could even ward off poison, high temperatures, and more. It was absolutely a top-tier defensive spell.

Unfortunately, the stone carving only recorded the cultivation methods for the first six layers.

The final three layers were not recorded.

Even so, he was quite satisfied and firmly memorized the cultivation methods for the first six layers.

"Demon Devouring Armor! Old Skin! Combined with Bone Plating! My defense is completely maxed out!"

Zhou Feng could not help imagining his current defensive abilities.

Setting everything else aside, his defensive and survival abilities were absolutely maxed out now.

Several Passive Skills combined with Demon Devouring Armor made him practically invincible.

With that, his strategy of trading injury for injury could continue.

He had already grown accustomed to this fighting style. Relying on his strong defenses to trade lives with his opponents was extremely likely to catch them off guard.

"Demon Devouring Body?"

After memorizing Demon Devouring Armor, he continued reading.

He found that this was another art related to defense and survival.

It was a method for changing one's physique. With the aid of various special medicinal formulas and spiritual materials,

it could transform an ordinary body into a Demon Devouring Body.

He had learned a little about the Demon Devouring Body before. As the Demon Devouring Gu within him continued to evolve,

his fleshly body would naturally transform into a Demon Devouring Body.

However, the process was extremely slow, while this Demon Devouring Body technique was a method for accelerating that process.

Below it were numerous medicinal formulas and the spiritual materials required.

Zhou Feng had never even heard of most of these things.

The Demon Devouring Body was also divided into nine layers, but the stone carving only recorded the transformation methods for the first three layers.

Nothing beyond that was recorded.

Although he could not use it yet, he still memorized the Demon Devouring Body.

There was no loss in memorizing it anyway. What if he needed it someday?

As he continued reading, he finally came across Bitter Bamboo Peak's primary offensive method.

Demon Devouring Combat Method!

This was a method for wielding spiritual energy, created specifically for Demon Devouring spiritual energy.

Under the influence of the Demon Devouring Gu, the spiritual energy within Zhou Feng was gradually transforming into Demon Devouring spiritual energy.

This special spiritual energy possessed many different characteristics.

Therefore, to unleash its greatest power, it was necessary to create special methods for using it.

All the ultimate arts and offensive methods of every sect in the world were created according to that sect's cultivation techniques.

Thus, cultivation methods were the foundation for every cultivator and were extremely difficult to change.

"Only one paragraph?"

Unlike Demon Devouring Armor and Demon Devouring Body, the Demon Devouring Combat Method consisted of only a single paragraph.

It had no realms either. Its power depended entirely on one's personal comprehension.

Furthermore, the Demon Devouring Combat Method had no fixed moves. Any move could be used to put it into practice.

Only its core remained unchanged: the two words, Demon Devouring.

How one understood those two words depended entirely on the individual. Some believed that the key lay in the word "Demon."

Thus, they evolved countless demonic shadows and unleashed a horde of demons devouring immortals. With a single thought, demons would dance wildly, their might pressing down upon the nine heavens.

Others believed that "Devouring" was the most important part, so they evolved a huge, bloody maw that swallowed everything and devoured all things.

"Demon Devouring?"

Zhou Feng did not have the slightest idea in his mind.

With his comprehension, he could only grasp the most rudimentary method of using it.

When it came to comprehension, he might have been nothing more than an ordinary person, but he was not particularly disappointed.

After all, he had never been some cultivation genius.

These Three Demon Devouring Arts were the three most important methods recorded on the stone carving, as well as Bitter Bamboo Peak's supreme arts.

But aside from the Three Demon Devouring Arts, the stone carving also contained other things.

For example, methods for raising Gu!

This was the first time Zhou Feng had seen such detailed methods for raising Gu.

The Three Gu Sect's greatest specialty was naturally raising Gu.

Bitter Bamboo Peak was no exception.

The stone carving recorded the refining methods for several kinds of Gu insects.

For example, a Gu insect called the Blood Gu required ten Bloodthirsty Gu as materials and had to be sealed within a Blood Pool.

It had to be fed various hearts every day, while being refined with the user's own blood and spiritual energy.

The refinement process lasted ten days, and one could not leave the Blood Pool throughout the entire process.

The Blood Gu's greatest function was to lodge itself within the host's heart and continuously purify the vital energy within the body.

"So this is the solution! But it actually requires the Spirit Platform Realm to refine? And the failure rate is extremely high?"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Feng instantly understood. This was a Gu insect specifically meant to address the flaws of the Demon Devouring Art.

The Demon Devouring Art advanced extremely quickly, but it also created many drawbacks.

For example, mixed spiritual energy and impure vital energy. Such drawbacks greatly affected one's combat strength.

However, the refining methods for the various Gu insects recorded on the stone carving could effectively reduce these drawbacks.

There were also Ice Heart Gu, Pure Spirit Gu, and others afterward, all Gu insects meant to address the flaws of the Demon Devouring Art.

The only unfortunate thing was that refining these Gu insects was extremely difficult, and one needed to be at least in the Spirit Platform Realm before attempting it.

Even so, it was an enormous gain for Zhou Feng.

This stone carving recorded far too many useful things. No wonder Senior Disciple Brother had not told him of its existence.

Neither had the others on Bitter Bamboo Peak.

Because this was Bitter Bamboo Peak's most precious treasure.

At the same time, he was extremely fortunate that among the people he had hunted, only the last person had known of the stone carving's existence.

And that last person had only learned about it recently.

Otherwise, facing senior disciples who had cultivated the Three Demon Devouring Arts, he might not only have failed to win but even been killed in return.

Even with the boosts from his various Passive Skills, without cultivating the Three Demon Devouring Arts, his combat strength was still far lacking.
