Heisha Ridge, nestled within Tianwu Mountain Range, is a notorious dangerous spot famous throughout Wuhe County, teeming with demonic beasts.
At this moment, a youth lay amidst haphazardly scattered rocks. The youth's features were distinct, but his body was covered in blood, flowing like a river. Around him, numerous demonic beasts stared at him with predatory eyes. Unless something unexpected occurred, this corpse would soon be brutally devoured by these beasts.
"Jiang Ziyu, you wretch!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion resonated through the heavens and earth. The battered youth abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with an unwavering killing intent. This terrifying vibe sent the surrounding black wolves into retreat, their expressions filled with fear.
"Where am I?"
"Impossible? I'm not dead?" The youth's face twisted in an unprecedented shock, as if recalling something unthinkable.
"I'm not dead?" And at this moment, a flood of memories surged into his mind.
Turns out, the original soul from the youth's body had completely disappeared, being occupied by the Soul Devourer Supreme, Chu Yun, who was renowned worldwide three thousand years ago.
The Soul Devourer Supreme Chu Yun was the first proud son of the divine continent, leader of the top ten supreme beings. In a hundred years, he had broken into the realm of the supreme, not only was his strength powerful, but he was also adept at alchemy and weapon forging, reaching the top level of the continent and hence was revered by the world.
Unexpectedly, while breaking into the inheritance land of the Xuanyuan Supreme, he was betrayed by his beloved.
His fall that day, shocked the whole divine continent. Countless people felt it was a pity. If Chu Yun had not died, it would have only been a matter of time before he reigned above nine heavens.
Yet after three thousand years, rivers flowed, mountains turned into seas, this day Chu Yun's soul was reborn in the body of a young man.
"Jiang Ziyu, I treated you with utmost sincerity only for you to betray me. If my love for you ceases in this life, Chu Yun will kill you no matter where in the nine heavens or ten earths you flee to."
Chu Yun’s heart bled. However, it had been three thousand years, the Jiang Ziyu of the past, was likely to have become a supreme being by now. The gap between them was more than just a million miles.
"Since I'm not dead, there must be a chance!"
Chu Yun calmed down and carefully absorbed the memories of this body.
This place is in the region of Hong'an City, located on the fringe of the Daxia border, and he, Chu Yun, is the young clan leader of the Chu family of Hong'an City. Yet, he was brutally killed and discarded in Heisha Ridge by men sent by the elder of the Chu family.
"What a ruthless person!" Chu Yun couldn't help but curse. With his experience, he immediately understood that as long as the elder of the Chu family killed him, Chu family would be without a young master. The elder could then force Chu's father to abdicate, and his son would become the young master of the Chu family.
Thinking of this, Chu Yun frowned slightly. How ruthless the elder of the Chu family was, to kill Chu Yun just for the seat of the clan leader.
"But you probably didn't expect this, did you? The person who exists now is not the Chu Yun you know. Since I have been reborn in his place, I will take revenge for you, as well as protect the Chu family." Chu Yun said.
At this moment, Chu Yun frowned. His cultivation level was only at the first realm of the Saint.
Martial arts practice had levels in the order Saints, Scholars, Spirits.
Was his talent this bad? Even an average individual would have reached the third realm of the Saint at this age.
Once Chu Yun completely absorbed all the memories, he found out that the original Chu Yun, though the young clan leader of the Chu family, was actually a wastrel! Born with obstructed meridians and a weak body, he was doomed to be unable to cultivate for his entire life. Because of this, Chu Yun was often looked down upon in Hong'an City, and even in his own family, no one cared about him, the future clan leader. This caused his character to be extremely weak.
Today, he was even deceived into being murdered.
"Born with obstructed meridians? Ha ha ha ha, what a big joke! The body of the Chaos God Dragon, which is rarely seen in millions of years, has actually been mistaken for a natural wastrel!"
After organizing his host's memories, Chu Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud. The Chaos God Body, also known as the Pangu God Body, is one of the strongest in history. Once the God Body matures, it's unbeatable within the same realm!
Originally he was worried that his body wouldn't be able to withstand the practice of "Nine Dragons Swallowing Heaven Art" in this life. However, he didn't expect to find the highly-sought Chaos God Body. With the strong physical constitution of the Chaos God Body, even if the "Nine Dragons Swallowing Heaven Art" technique is ten times stronger, it can be easily handled.
The Chaos God Body, coupled with the ancient devouring skill "Nine Dragons Swallowing Heaven Art", is a perfect match. In the later stages, the Chaos God Body requires a constant intake of external energy to improve, and devouring blood is the simplest and most domineering path; and the "Nine Dragons Swallowing Heaven Art" is primarily a devouring skill. The combination of the two would certainly allow him to go further than he did in his previous life!
Without uttering a word, Chu Yun immediately began practicing according to the Nine-Dragons Swallowing the Heavens Technique. Vast spiritual energy beyond human measure rolled over from beyond the nine heavens, submerging him completely.
And Chu Yun's vortex directly and forcefully swallowed the surrounding spiritual energy. This is the power of Chu Yun's devouring bloodline and devouring divine skills.
"Devour!"
With a change in the hand seal, the spiritual energy surrounding Chu Yun increased crazily, almost drowning him.
At this moment, Chu Yun's face was serene, expression calm. Every breath he took visibly drew spiritual energy from his seven orifices into his body, flowing around his internal organs, through the extraordinary meridians, and then refined his physical body, strengthening his muscles and bones.
In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy gradually diminished. As the last bit of it was absorbed, Chu Yun slowly opened his eyes, a flash of essence disappearing as quickly as it appeared, like a bolt of electricity.
"Did I finally break through? The second level of sainthood?"
Slowly standing up, a smile emerged at the corner of Chu Yun's mouth. In just a few days, he had already broken through. If others knew, they would undoubtedly be horrified and find it unbelievable. This was simply too monstrous.
"Roar…"
The group of decomposing wolves from before had not gone far. Their intelligence was low, but they could sense that Chu Yun was an "easy target." In their eyes, he was food.
At this moment, a dozen or so decomposing wolves surrounded Chu Yun, releasing low roars.
"Stupid beasts, you're really seeking death."
"This is suicide on your part, don't blame me for being brutal." A ruthless glint flashed in Chu Yun's eyes.
"Allow me to test my martial arts on you, Shattering Heaven's Finger."
Chu Yun extended his right hand. An index finger coalesced in an instant, its aura overwhelming the heavens, directly brutally suppressing everything.
"Awooo…" Just as the black wolf was about to charge at Chu Yun, it was directly crushed to smithereens at this very moment.
After a short while, two dead bodies appeared beneath Chu Yun's feet, and the other black wolves wildly scurried off.
Chu Yun looked at the black wolf, a dash of light flickering in his eyes. Shortly after, a small whirlpool appeared in Chu Yun's hand.
This was the Devouring Heaven Fortune Technique that Chu Yun obtained. He sat cross-legged on the ground, directly devouring the black wolf's bloodline, and the wolf's vitality directly entered Chu Yun's body.
Closing his eyes and regulating his breath, the pained expression on his face gradually faded. After a short while, Chu Yun stood up. He looked at the decaying wolf corpse beside him, his eyes icy cold.
