YIN-YANG DEVOURER

"Devourer Art?"

"Is that the name of the technique created by my ancestor?" He asked Ruvan in disbelief as he looked at the small scroll that seemed to be calling to him.

"That's right… This was the technique that allowed Azkabar to rise to the top of the cultivation world."

"Really?"

"It seems that you are Azkabar's successor after all" Xiong Mei said as she saw how the small scroll in her hands trembled in Ruvan's presence.

"Reacting? Does that scroll have life? Ruvan asked in disbelief after all he had never seen anything like that, even in the rich and powerful Svarnas family.

"Those Divine rank techniques have a certain degree of intelligence…"

"The same goes for Divine grade pills… When the spiritual energy is too much it tends to develop a certain degree of consciousness over time." Xiong Mei said with a calm tone. Her vast experience had allowed her to see all kinds of legendary items.

"And good? Are you just going to stand there all day?" Xiong Mei mocked as she saw how Ruvan was still standing statically with his eyes open. Even a fly that was hanging around the cave threatened to fly into his mouth if he didn't close it in time.

"I-I'm sorry…" Ruvan said with red cheeks as he quickly walked towards where Xiong Mei was standing.

"Well… This. As I told you before, is the Devourer Art; created by the previous master of the Pleasure Palace…"

"And that's your ancestor, Azkabar Hyllaz.

"The Devourer Art is a Divine-rank technique that allows users with the Devourer physique to absorb the Yin and Yang essence from the bodies of cultivators…"

"It basically consists of draining all the yin or yang essence (depending on the case) from the cultivator's body until it is completely dry."

"As you can imagine, the effects on cultivators who have this technique applied to them are devastating, so it can be said that this is an evil technique." Xiong Mei said seriously after all those cultivators who practiced evil techniques were persecuted by all the righteous powers.

Seeing that Ruvan was not reluctant due to the nature of the technique, she decided to continue explaining.

"There are several evil techniques that are based on absorption…"

"The most famous are those that absorb the blood essence of cultivators but no other technique specializes in absorbing yin and yang energy like this technique"

"This technique is made up of ten phases… Each of them allows the cultivator to deepen his skill in energy absorption…"

"At this time you will learn the first phase… The first phase allows you to absorb the essence of cultivators within the mortal realms"

"With each phase you learn, it will allow you to deepen your control so that you can absorb the energy of much more powerful cultivators." Xiong Mei said seriously.

One had to know that Dual Cultivation was quite complex due to the large amount of resources it required, after all, apart from needing talented couples to cultivate, all kinds of resources rich in yin and yang energy were needed, which were usually quite large. expensive and rare to find. 

The Devourer Art not only allowed the user to obtain a large amount of energy but also turned people themselves into valuable cultivation resources. It was in this way that the legendary Azkabar Hyllaz carved his way to greatness.

"Well, that's enough explanation… It's time for you to try it," said Xiong Mei before throwing the golden scroll into Ruvan's hands.

The scroll finally landed in Ruvan's hands and a wave of knowledge quickly overwhelmed his brain.

Ruvan's eyes turned completely white as if he were in some kind of trance... There Ruvan's mind was immersed in a universe of knowledge...

"What the hell? Where I am? Ruvan muttered as he found himself standing on a mountain... In the background he could see a huge wall which guarded a gigantic and beautiful palace... The palace certainly seemed like something out of those cultivation tales that spoke of immortals, after all Ruvan had never seen anything like that.

'Even the Imperial Palace in the Vylas Empire seems like a doghouse compared to this place' Ruvan muttered, totally distracted by the sight in his eyes.

All kinds of cultivators flew to the surroundings of the palace on imposing mounts but none dared to fly higher than the palace as if this were a sign of respect for the owner of said place.

"Nice right? I designed it with ten of my wives" At that moment a voice came from behind. The voice had a nostalgic feeling.

"Who the hell?" Ruvan jumped several meters while observing the newly arrived person.

"Hahahaha calm down boy… You look like a scared bunny" mocked at that moment a tanned skinned man who was dressed in a rather particular way. The man was extremely attractive to the point that Ruvan had to admit that he was possibly the most handsome man he had ever met in his life. (without counting himself)

The man wore a ponytail that reached his waist while his clothing consisted of just loose pants. The rest of his body was adorned with all kinds of spiritual jewels that were undoubtedly worth a real fortune.

However, the most distinctive feature of that man would undoubtedly be his eyes, which were a beautiful golden color...

"You are Azkabar right? Azkabar Hyllaz?" Ruvan said with some amazement after all, this man in front of him gave him a rather strong feeling of familiarity.

"Ohhh…"

"You!! Let me get a good look at you" Azkabar said before appearing in a matter of seconds holding Ruvan's wrist.

"Devourer Physique..." 

"You have the Devourer Physique!!! HAHAHAHAHA"

"I wonder what those old bastards would look like if they knew that my offspring was still alive HAHAHAAH" Azkabar started dancing like crazy while circling around Ruvan examining his body.

"Mmm it's not bad but we can improve" Azkabar began to murmur as he put his fingers to his chin.

"Boy… What's your name?" Azkabar asked after a few minutes.

"Ruvan… Ruvan Svarnas" Ruvan said with a smile after all it was quite obvious to him that this man was extremely happy with his mere presence.

"Svarnas ehh… I would pay to see that old bastard's face if he knew we were family now hahaha"

After a while, Azkabar finally shut up and looked at Ruvan with a complicated expression.

"It seems that at the end of everything Alexa make it…"
