Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1290

Chapter 1290 Devouring Cauldron

{Unedited Chapter]

---

Wang Wei returned to the throne room to wait for the others. As he sat there in boredom, looking at the luxurious room, he secretly complained that the people of this world loved thrones too much, forgetting he was the same.

The concept of a Great Emperor, one being who stands above all other gods, demons, immortals, and Buddha and has transcended life and death, has been ingrained in the fabric of this world. Their existence has influenced all aspects of life, including culture and architecture.

That's why kings or rulers of dynasties, kingdoms, and empires cannot call themselves Emperors unless they've proved the Dao. That's why most cultivators Tier 10 and above, even if not an Emperor, will build a throne room in their residence.

'I wonder what her throne room is like,' Wang Wei thought, thinking that his future wife's throne might be even more extravagant than this one. While Wang Wei was distracted, his people began to return, starting with the people whose mission was to divert the enemy's focus. Once everybody was here, Wang Wei finally regained his focus.

He first glanced at Mongke and the Flame Blacksmith's group since they brought a group of people, many with resolute looks on their faces. However, his attention was soon focused on the second prince, Jia Ping. The other was tasked with taking over Blood Dragon's cultivation room, so why did he bring a captured prisoner?

"Who is this?" Wang Wei asked, looking at the handsome Everlasting Empyrean with a devilish aura that would probably make many women lose their minds over him.

"Lord, he's a Heavenly Devil that cultivated Devouring Dao."

As soon as he said these words, everyone focused on the handsome young man. They knew what these words represented. Devour/Swallowing Dao is a potent but innately evil Dao. This world does not differentiate much between evil and righteous cultivators. After all, even the weakest great Emperors have such a high karma resistance that it's pointless to care how many people they killed.

As long as devil cultivators stay away from these top lineages, they can do whatever they please. The world is too vast, and there are plenty of places for them to do whatever they please. Due to this mindset, most cultivators will not care if someone cultivates Devour Dao. It's the opposite. Most people will recruit them since it is an Outlaw Dao unless you're lucky enough to have cultivated it in certain worlds in the lower dimension.

Of course, there is an exception to this world — when the Devouring Cultivator walks the path of the Heavenly Devil. Since ancient times, Devouring Cultivators have held most of the records for the fastest cultivation, and that statement holds throughout the Chaos Universe.

But why is that? After swallowing them, could they acquire a person's percentage of the Grand Dao Source? No. Grand Dao would not leave such a loophole for them to exploit. Devouring Cultivators don't have this ability until they've reached the peak of their Dao, and even then, there are some restrictions.

Devouring Cultivators can turn what they swallowed into the purest Dao Rhymes, which can accelerate cultivation speed. These pure Dao Rhymes may not be as good as merit, but they are better than most pills, and there are plenty of them as long as the Heavenly Devil continues to swallow Emperors, Empyreans, and even Paragons.

"Could it be?" Wang Wei asked.

"Yes," Jia Ping nodded. "Blood Dragon kept him in captivity so he would refine Dao Rhymes for him."

'This guy is truly useless,' Wang Wei thought. With all these resources and advantages, the Blood Dragon's cultivation was still only 93% Grand Dao Source. 'More importantly, he knows how to play with fire.' Wang Wei only took a glance at this little devil to figure out the latter was slowly planning to swallow the Blood Dragon, and honestly, given how stupid the dragon was, Wang Wei believed the little devil might have succeeded. After all, his cultivation was the peak of the Empyrean Realm. With how suspicious Blood Dragon was, it was a remarkable feat for him to convince him to reach such a level, probably with the promise of making more precious Dao Rhymes with higher cultivation.

"Sir, what do we do with him?" asked the Curse Master. This little devil was a fantastic resource, and as long as he gets a small amount, his cultivation can increase.

"Give him to me," Wang Wei said. The devil flew into his hands, and as their eyes met, the Heavenly Devil's body trembled out of fear. He knew this man was not the idiot that was the Blood Dragon and might be able to control him truly.
