Chapter 343 Devouring Heaven Demon Art (Fake) [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

[The Azure Sky Overlord Body originates from fantasy, possessing an unparalleled physical body and unmatched dominance. It has nine divine forms, including the Kunpeng Divine Form, the Great Bell Dao Body, the True Dragon Dharma Body, and the Immortal Phoenix Feathers, making it invincible. The Overlord Body's ancestral form is a dragon's head, a snake's tail, a white tiger's claws, phoenix wings, a Qilin armor, and a Xuanwu's back, extremely strong and indestructible, intolerable to heaven and earth, and an embodiment of blood and sin. Requires 1 S-rank side quest, reward 50000 points.]

It's not that he didn't want to choose something like double pupils, supreme bones, or even the Ten Fiends bloodline.

Rather, it doesn't exist.

The Three Thousand Great Daos embody the rules of the world; any form of compatibility is perfectly reasonable.

The infinitely diverse [projected universes] that can be generated will at most not exceed the level of [Innate Saint]. It's already the limit to accommodate the basic version of *Covering the Sky*; the exchanges within *Perfect World* and *Saint Ruins* are simply impossible for it to occur.

The Azure Heaven Overlord Body is the mortal enemy of the Ancient Sacred Body. Both are skilled in physical body cultivation. The Overlord Body cultivates nine divine forms, while the Sacred Body cultivates nine extraordinary phenomena.

The two constitutions are roughly equal.

Since the team already had the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo and the Chaos Body that emerged from the Taiyin Body and Taiyang Body, Fang Ge chose the Azure Heaven Overlord Body in order to expand diversity.

Like other S-rank Heaven-Covering Physiques, it doesn't grant any initial cultivation; one must develop it independently. As one of the ultimate, growable, and exchangeable physiques, it boasts considerable strength upon mastery, making it a relatively powerful SS-rank bloodline. At the high Saint level, it can accumulate enough power to reach near-innate combat strength.

In addition, there is another reason.

The origin of the Overlord Body is suspected to be that it was forcibly pieced together from various mythical creatures, which is why it possesses such a strange ancestral body and nine divine forms!

Assuming this origin is real, then replicating this artificially created physique would be even easier.

Even... there's no need to strive for a perfect replica; just replicating a small portion would be quite remarkable!

The Central Continent Team has only proposed solutions for [Light of the Mind] and [Cultivation System]. They haven't yet come up with a plan to address [Physical Fitness].

Humans, with their infinite diversity, are physically weak, and this is undoubtedly a weakness inherent in their nature.

Although the ancients created the Gene Lock with the intention of using fourth-order gene adjustment to improve human physique, in terms of results, the Gene Lock has not actually benefited all mankind.

Even among the humans of the Primordial Heavenly Court, very few have unlocked their genetic potential. They can't even mass-produce first-tier genetic locks, making them, at first glance, less capable than Umbrella's T-virus!

This is certainly not because the technology is incapable. For the Heavenly Court, using external force to unlock the first three stages of the gene lock only presents a cost issue, not a technological hurdle.

So... why don't they do that?

Firstly, the Primordial Heavenly Court indeed operates on a pig-farming model, having adopted the bad habits of those immortal beings, and completely lacking a sense of urgency.

Secondly, it's because... they are unable to truly handle the "backlash" of the gene lock.

To withstand the backlash of the first-order gene lock, one needs at least a B-grade bloodline to be safe; otherwise, it's a matter of life and death.

The backlash from second- and third-order attacks is even greater!

Furthermore, before unlocking the fourth-order gene lock, the gene damage caused by each unlocking backlash is almost irreversible. It requires a huge investment to repair.

This means that for pure humans, the genetic lock is a luxury. Without the causal law repair device of the supreme god, it's simply impossible to afford!
Moreover, even the fourth-level gene lock can only optimize a person's innate attributes to five times the original, which is 500 points.

But SS-level bloodlines can easily grant thousands of points of innate attributes!
Innate attributes are independent of physical attributes, and their relationship with acquired attributes and energy bonuses is multiplicative. Even at the Saint level and above, superior innate attributes remain a significant advantage, allowing one to fight beyond their level!

"Even if the Void God Realm is connected to the entire universe, we can't possibly open the Main God Exchange function to everyone... at least not in the early stages of our business."

Fang Ge patted Zheng Zha on the shoulder and said, "Besides, exchanging bloodlines at the main god's place is very expensive and not very accessible to the common people. We need a way to improve bloodlines through cultivation, so we'll leave that to you!" The pit that Gu dug, of course, needs to be filled by Gu's reincarnation!
"Me? Me?" Zheng Zha looked bewildered.

He's not even good at learning things with secret techniques, so how come he's supposed to create a method to improve one's physique?

Fang Ge knew, however, that he possessed such talent.

The Wu bloodline is a bloodline that evolved from the ancient practice of devouring all races and innate demon gods.

Now that Zheng Zha has exchanged for the Great Devouring Technique, and his realm is at the peak of the second stage of the Saint Realm, his starting point is much higher than that of Gu back then!
It's simply a matter of not knowing how to summarize and generalize...

"I will have Little Apple and Chu Xuan assist you from the sidelines. Using the Divine Tree and genetic engineering, and drawing on the various physical characteristics of the team, we will help you achieve great things."

Fang Ge gestured for Zheng Zha to boost his confidence, teasingly saying, "When the time comes, the cultivation technique you create will require devouring various bloodlines and fine-tuning genes to trigger a physical transformation... How about calling it the 'Devouring Heaven Demon Art'? Summarizing the evolutionary system of physique into a 'Physical Book' will benefit all of humanity!"

"Why does this name sound so familiar? Aren't you worried about being charged copyright fees?" Zhang Heng, who had turned into a paper doll, complained, with white speech bubbles and subtitles appearing above his head.

"Why talk about it with such grandiloquent words..."

Zheng Zha wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, yet he still felt a surge of fervor at the thought of "benefiting all humanity." Before entering the Main God Space, he never dared to imagine that he would one day become such a great person...

At that time, after all multi-dimensional humans access the virtual god realm through dreams, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, the Body Book, the Seed of the Heart, and the basic parts of the Three Thousand Great Daos will be distributed free of charge.

Zheng Zha will also share in the great virtue of spreading the word throughout the universe.

As for the materials needed to cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, it's even simpler. It's not like the original version required devouring the source; it only requires obtaining the genome.

They could use their innate saintly authority to continuously spread "blood rain" throughout various universes, thus distributing these genes. As long as it didn't involve the origin, they could create as much as they wanted.

Physical strength has been resolved, but as for the air leakage issue... that's an inherent problem present in all multiverse beings. If energy absorption techniques could be fully implemented, it would be barely acceptable.

The absorption rate after mastering the Great Devouring Technique is undoubtedly 100%. After the Three Thousand Great Daos were opened up, anyone who wanted to learn them could learn them, and the more profound the learning, the higher the absorption rate!
—I really went to great lengths to fill these latrines…

"The last one is Liu Yu. Exchange for the [Human King Body]."

[The Human King Body, originating from fantasy, is the ultimate form of human bloodline. It possesses the power to suppress other human bloodlines and requires multiple bloodline advancements to fully awaken. Each advancement is accompanied by a leap in life level. A fully awakened individual can be revered as the Human King. Requires one S-rank side quest and 50000 reward points.]

The Human King Body exists in both Shrouding the Heavens and Sacred Ruins. It is a very special human physique, and its evolutionary endpoint is the Chaos Body.

However, unlike many special constitutions such as the Sun, Moon, Holy Body, and Overlord Body, its human purity is extremely high. Perhaps it is a special kind of mortal body, the so-called "human among humans," which is the true "King of Humans."

Liu Yu is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and his enhanced human king body is a perfect fit for his profession.

Secondly, the Chaotic Body provides an "endpoint," the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, offering the ultimate in both spirit and body.

The Overlord Body provides a "mixed path," but the Human King Body also needs to provide a "pure path"!
Only by verifying each other can we find the optimal route!
"That completes all the S-rank side quests. Now it's time for the A-rank side quests..."

Within the Central Continent team, there are a total of 10 A-level side quests, scattered among the various members of the Central Continent branch.

"Exchange for the manuals of [Lin], [Zhe], [Jie], [Shu], [Zu], [Qian], and [Da Meng Wan Gu] respectively!"
