Beast Evolution System: Devourer of Heaven-Chapter 335: Xingchen Moves

The world seemed to stand still, the disciples of the sword sect paused, they couldn't comprehend what had just happened.

Their fellow sect member fell like a puppet with cut strings. There was a fist sized hole on his chest.

Muyang looked confused as well, he looked at his fist like it was something he didn't recognise.

Then he took a deep breath, it finally set in and he realised he was stronger now. He knew it was because of that apple he ate.

Which meant his family was just as strong or perhaps even stronger since they ate two instead of one like him.

He didn't how wrong he was, his family had grown much stronger than before, strong enough to challenge a newly risen vessel holder physically.

However they didn't have the power to punch a hole through a Qi gathering stage cultivator.

Even though the man had underestimated Muyang, his body was still stronger than that of a normal human.

The reason Muyang was this powerful was because Naledi and infused half of the life essence he gathered into his body and the other half into the garden.

The other disciples also realised what had just happened, first they felt a wave of fear which was then followed by rage.

With the exception of the other four, the others drew their swords. While every member of the sword sect used a sword, those swords were different.

Some used great swords, claymores, rapiers etc. Their abilities were also different, even those who practiced the same cultivation technique.

Vessels were not cultivation techniques themselves, they had to be accompanied by breathing techniques, breathing techniques were the true cultivation techniques.

The vessel was a bridge connecting the vessel holder to the world allowing them to use essence energy since humans didn't have essence veins.

Those breathing techniques contained abilities, whether one can learn a certain ability depended on their comprehension ability.

Therefore even when two people have similar vessels and using the same breathing technique they might not learn the same abilities.

This fundamental truth had not changed even in this region with a slightly different cultivation system.

The disciples pounced on him, crescent sword strikes flew at Muyang like a wide net, he had no means to dodge.

Muyang felt fear grip his heart, " NOOOOOOOO." He heard his mother scream behind him.

His father ran with all of his might but how could he be as fast as sword strikes.

Everybody thought Muyang was going to die, yet neither the golden dog nor Naledi reacted.

" Star flow, Heavenly Guard."

A net made of starlight appeared Infront of Muyang and blocked the attacks.

Everybody looked behind Muyang who still had his eyes closed. They saw a young girl around his age.

The girl was very pretty, her beautiful black hair danced in the air behind her and in her her hand sat a golden compass.

" Who..who are you?" One of the disciples asked, they could all feel a terrifying aura from this girl.

" The name is the great lady Xingchen, and you are evil villains of the sword sect, I will give you a chance to leave this place or face my wrath of justice."

She faced them with one hand on her hip and released her aura causing all of them to take a step back. " Fo.. foundation establishment."

One of them whispered with fear, foundation establishment was the second rank and the difference between it and QI gathering was huge.

Not to mention, they knew who she was, every cultivator in this world did. Xingchen the Heavenly daughter.

It was said she was born under the gaze of the dancing stars, with a talent for divination that surpassed all.

Naledi scoffed at that while listening from above the clouds. This child wasn't talented in divination.

That was not how the cultivation system of humans worked, they were not born with a specific attribute.

However that didn't mean the concept of talent did not exist, it just appeared differently from other races.

To others it came in the form of bloodline grades which determine not only the volume of their will but the thickness of their essence veins.

To humans it was the vastness of their souls, those born with stronger souls had wills with more volume than others.

Of course Naledi understood this advantage was not everything, there was also the density of will.

The golden monk was an example of this, when he was a mortal, his soul was no different from that of others but his belief was beyond most.

This allowed him to tame a vessel of mythical grade using only the density of his will.

This backwards place didn't seem to understand that, which is ironic considering they had a heritage much older than earth.

To tame a vessel they highly depended on the strength of the soul one was born with and they called it natural talent.

Those chosen by the sects to join were usually those born with stronger souls than avarage.

In fact even their cultivation techniques were rubbish. Every essence breathing technique had a mental strengthening technique.

This mental strengthening technique was useful for mortals, it temporarily strengthen one's will beyond its normal state allowing them to tame vessels easier.

The higher the grade of the mental strengthening technique the stronger the strengthening effect.

Of course this was limited, having a legendary grade mental strengthening technique didn't mean you can tame a legendary grade vessel.

Mental strengthening techniques could only take one so far, at the end what mattered the most was one's own will.

However they still played a crucial role in assisting with the first stage of taming a vessel.

Yet these people did not even use them, she sighed at their foolishness and continued watching.

The disciples of the sword sect retreated when they heard her name. Xingchen was stated to wield a legendary grade vessel.

Which was true, she's the only one in her sect to be able to tame that vessel. The sword sect disciples were about to run away when their sect elder appeared behind them.

He glared at them with cold eyes, the disciples gritted their teeth. If they had to choose between fighting Xingchen and this elder.

They would certainly choose her, she was weaker than he was by an entire realm so the choice was obvious.

The elder clicked his tongue, " Cowards." He whispered but he couldn't find himself to punish them.

Xingchen was really powerful compared to them, she was powerful enough to even fight some of the weaker golden core experts.

He would really have to take care of her himself. He drew his sword but just before he could attack he felt a heavy pressure land on him.

Behind Xingchen appeared a beautiful lady dressed in white robes. She was gliding through the air like a weightless feather, her actions were graceful as a swan.

" Mei Juan." The sword sect elder whisperer in a grim voice.
