YIN-YANG DEVOURER

"I see…"

"Well, if that's what you wants, I don't see why I should deny you," Ruvan said with a vicious smile. Although he didn't feel anything involved with this man's story, he wouldn't mind causing a couple of problems in the name of his Ancestor.

"Hahahahaha"

"Shit boy I like you…"

"Now I can rest in peace…"

"Knowing that the descendants of the bastards who murdered me will meet the same fate that mine suffered," Azakabar said with a cruel smile, after all, revenge is always served on a cold plate.

"Now… Since we have clarified this... It is time for you to learn to control the Devourer Art."

"This technique is impossible to practice unless you have a Devourer Physique like ours…"

"The technique is a bit complicated because, it requires a high level of control in the circulation of energy and especially conduction, after all you must know how to conduct your energy directly to your Dantian. Otherwise your body could end up directing your energy to the wrong place, causing internal injuries in the best of cases…"

"And in the worst of the cases?"

"You would end up bursting like a balloon hahaha"

"…"

"In some ways this Technique is quite similar to many absorption techniques that Dual Cultivation has, but due to the large amount of energy it handles it is much more complex to perform"

"Let's do some tests so you can start to familiarize yourself... Don't worry about failing after all; this is like a simulation... If you fail you won't hurt yourself"" Azkabar said as he took out two crystals; one white and one black. Each one seemed to have a large amount of Yin and Yang energy respectively.

"Let's start with the tests"

Time continued as Ruvan continued to learn and perfect his command of the Devourer Art with the help of Azkabar's soul fragment.

Meanwhile outside, Xiong Mei was taking care of his body, which seemed to be completely in a trance. Her Master, Svetlana had already warned her about this so she was not at all worried about Ruvan's current condition.

"Well… That's right boy" "Pah" "Pah" The sounds of applause reached Ruvan's ears the moment both crystals in his hand completely turned into dust.

Ruvan had been doing this hundreds of times… On many of these occasions he had exploded only to be revived again within this special dimension.

'The sensation of exploding is extremely realistic... Although there may not be any physical damage, I'm not so sure about the psychological side.'

Ruvan had to take a couple of breaths before rejoining his training again.

'Shit... Although this technique seems simple, it is extremely complex...'

'If it weren't for my physique's innate abilities, I would never have been able to absorb so much Yin and Yang energy at the same time' Ruvan murmured with a tired expression. His mind was extremely exhausted after so many failed attempts.

"I must say that I am impressed…"

"Although I was its creator, I must admit that not even I could learn it as quickly as you…" Azkabar praised sincerely. He was quite amazed at Ruvan's level of learning.

"Thanks Old Man…"

"Hahaha, you are the only person I know who dares to call me 'Old Man' to my face," Azkabar said with a smile as he shook his head.

'If I wasn't a mere soul fragment I would have already kicked your ass boy' Azkabar thought to himself before continuing.

"Now that you have learned the basics it seems that my role here is over…"

"Each scroll contains a fragment of my soul that will guide you through each stage" said the soul fragment of Azkabar with a satisfied smile, after all it had finally fulfilled the function that had been entrusted to it hundreds of thousands of years ago.

"One more thing…"

"Let me give you two last pieces of advice."

"The first is that you do not reveal your identity as my descendant until you are powerful enough to carry my legacy with you."

"Many cultivators of the righteous path perceive my legacy as a demonic legacy, so you should be careful when practicing this technique."

"And second"

"Don't let this technique cause you to fall into Depravity..." Azkabar said with a serious look.

"Depravity?"

"Many evil cultivators end up falling into depravity when they practice methods that accelerate the level of cultivation… Naturally the Devourer Art can cause you to end up becoming a feelingless being who only seeks power…"

"You must create your own limits when applying this technique otherwise your heart will be completely corrupted in a sea of ​​darkness" Azkabar said with a serious look. 

Although many of his actions had been reprehensible, he had drawn his own limits so as not to become corrupt.

"If you end up corrupting yourself you will not only harm yourself but also those you once swore to protect."

"I understand… Thanks for the advice Old Man" Ruvan said with a serious look.

Dual Cultivation was a rather controversial branch of cultivation after all, many cultivators of the righteous path always argued that its practitioners could fall into depravity too easily.

Many places banned Dual Cultivation, calling it a depraved and demonic practice, an example of this was the Vylas Empire where all practice of Dual Cultivation was completely prohibited.

"Thank you for everything Old Man…"

"I'll see you in the next scroll" Ruvan said with a smile before saying goodbye to Azkabar's soul fragment.

'Hahaha shameless brat' Azkabar couldn't help but smile when he saw how his descendant was just as shameless as he was at his time.

Finally after a few seconds Ruvan finally opened his eyes. The first thing he encountered was Xiong Mei who seemed to be meditating.

"Did you wake up"

"That's right… I was able to talk to my Ancestor" Ruvan said with a smile after all he didn't see why he should hide this information from Xiong Mei.

According to what Azkabar said, Xiong Mei was accepted as the heir of her ancestor's first wife. Following that logic, the chances that his Master would end up with him were not entirely crazy, but he knew that he had a long way to go if he wanted that fantasy to become real.

"Oh that's good…"

"There is nothing better than learning from the creator himself"

"And good? Are you ready?" Xiong Mei said as she pointed towards one of the men tied up in the room.

Xiong Mei approached the poor guy and removed the gag from his mouth.

"Please… Mercy"

"I don't know what I did to offend you, but I promise to do everything possible for you if you forgive me," the middle-aged man said at that moment. His eyes were watering as his limbs trembled.

The poor guy until recently was living a normal life, as he was a cultivator within the Golden Core Realm, he was highly respected in his city where his several wives and concubines sought to please him every day… Everything was going wonderfully until one day he was kidnapped by this mysterious veiled woman.

Ruvan ignored the man's pleas as he began to walk step by step in his direction.

"Please, I have children waiting at my house"

"If you need treasures I can give you everything I have."

"Please, I beg you," the man begged with all his being, but Ruvan ignored his pleas.

Finally after a couple of steps Ruvan placed his right hand on the poor man's chest.

"Devourer art," Ruvan murmured before the yang energy contained in the poor guy's body began to be drained.

"Mmmm, this is really impressive," Xiong Mei murmured in amazement as she felt the Yang energy inside the man's body disappear.

Little by little the poor man's skin was drying until finally he was like an empty shell.

"P-Please" The poor guy uttered one last whisper before ending up falling completely dead on the ground.

"Well… Next one" Ruvan smiled as he walked towards the rest of the people inside the cave.
