In Death Valley, Long Yu quickly began to comprehend the divine runes of death.
According to the Death Envoy, the divine runes of death in Death Valley were the same as the divine rune source. If one could comprehend them, it would be the strongest divine rune power, similar to the Nine Nether Divine Rune and Siphon Divine Rune that Long Yu had already comprehended.
The divine runes of death could control death to a certain extent. In a situation where the difference in strength wasn't too great, one could even use the divine runes of death to directly extract the vitality of the opponent, causing them to fall into a state of death.
Of course, this required one to completely comprehend the divine runes of death and even use them to a superb degree.
For example, the defensive method that the Death Envoy used just now was called a 'divine formation'.
The use of the power of the divine runes, from the initial pure use of the power of the divine runes to condensing it into innate supernatural powers, were only elementary methods.
Above that was the method of condensing divine chains that could be learned after reaching the fifth level of compatibility with the divine runes. Long Yu had seen this method before. The Asura Duke, Emperor Tian Qin, Yu Hanxin, and others were all very familiar with the method of condensing divine chains. Even Shu Chan was trying to comprehend it, but she hadn't succeeded yet.
The power of the divine runes was the most primitive and tyrannical power in the world. Of course, there were more than these methods. Above innate supernatural powers and divine chains, there was an even stronger method – divine formations!
From innate supernatural powers to divine chains, and then to divine formations, it was a process of constantly improving the use of the divine runes. In terms of power, the power of divine chains was at least ten times that of innate supernatural powers, and the power of divine formations was ten times that of divine chains.
In other words, if one could use divine formations, the power they could display was at least a hundred times greater than using innate supernatural powers!
Of course, it wasn't easy to learn the methods of divine formations. At the very least, the current Long Yu couldn't do it. He hadn't even reached the fifth level of compatibility with the divine runes, much less divine formations.
In order to learn the methods of divine formations, one had to at least reach the ninth level of compatibility with the divine runes. This was also the highest degree of compatibility a martial cultivator could achieve with the divine runes.
The Death Envoy said that even in the world where the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor lived, martial practitioners who could reach the ninth level of compatibility with the Divine Text were considered geniuses and were rarely seen.
That's why divine formations, let alone a small Jiuyou Dragon Emperor world like Shen Wu world, even in the Beyond Heaven world, it's an extremely rare and powerful technique.
Regardless of whether it was the God Chains or the God Arrays, they were not things that Long Yu needed to consider.
The situation he was facing now was merely to comprehend the Divine Text of Death. However, just this point alone was already extremely difficult.
Unlike the Nine Nether Divine Characters and the Siphon Divine Characters, the power of these two divine characters was stored within the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. Long Yu was compatible with the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, so he was able to gradually comprehend these two powers.
Of course, the prerequisite for this was that Long Yu had to be compatible with the shadow and life attribute divine runes. Although it was only at the first level of compatibility at the time, dual attribute compatibility was still relatively rare in the Shen Wu world.
But now, the Divine Text of Death that Long Yu was facing was the same as comprehending it in the Divine Rune Origin; it was extremely difficult. Even for a martial cultivator of the Beyond Heaven world, wanting to directly comprehend the Divine Text in the Divine Rune Origin was extremely difficult.
Compatibility with the attribute of the divine rune determined whether or not a martial cultivator could comprehend the divine rune.
And the speed at which one comprehended the divine rune was related to the martial cultivator's talent, the degree of compatibility with the divine rune, and the nature of the power of the divine rune.
The power of the divine rune in the Divine Rune Origin was publicly recognized as the most difficult to comprehend. Even if one reached the fifth level of compatibility with the divine rune and could condense the God Chains, it would still take at least seven days to comprehend the first ten thousandth of it.
…
Under the Death Envoy's Illusion of Death, Long Yu had to experience the feeling of near death at least ten times a day. There was pain, there was despair, there was struggle, there was every one of these feelings that were hard to forget.
And this also deepened Long Yu's understanding of death!
Although he had experienced death before crossing into this world, that was only a single experience. But now, under the Death Envoy's Illusion of Death, every time Long Yu experienced it, it was as if he was truly near death.
This caused Long Yu's comprehension of the Divine Rune of Death to deepen. Although he still hadn't successfully comprehended it, his progress was still gratifying.
On the seventh day, Long Yu successfully mobilized a trace of the power of the Divine Rune of Death in Death Valley, leaving the Death Envoy very satisfied.
"In just seven days, you were able to comprehend one ten thousandth of the power of the Divine Rune of Death, your talent is quite good."
The Death Envoy lightly said, "However, one ten thousandth of the power of the Divine Rune of Death isn't anything at all. With your current degree of compatibility with the fourth level of the Umbra attribute divine rune, I believe you will be able to comprehend one ten thousandth of the power of the Divine Rune of Death in a month. At that time, I will speak to you about other matters."
"One month!"
Long Yu's thoughts stirred. He thought that this was far too long. But in any case, Shu Chan, Huo Yuanbai, and the others weren't in any danger. Cultivating here was also cultivating and no one would disturb him. The environment was quite good.
"Then let's cultivate for a month first."
Long Yu nodded. The Death Envoy closed his eyes in satisfaction. The Death Envoy continued to add the Illusion of Death to Long Yu, deepening his comprehension of death.
… …
A month's time passed by quickly.
In this one month, Long Yu experienced over a thousand different feelings of death. His comprehension of the Divine Rune of Death had finally reached one thousandth of the power of the Divine Rune of Death.
At this moment, Long Yu could already successfully use the Divine Rune of Death. He could feel that if he were to face a Transcendent realm martial cultivator at the same level as him, he wouldn't need any fancy tricks. He could directly use the Divine Rune of Death to kill his opponent.
This was the power of the Divine Rune of Death, the most overbearing power of the world. In particular, the Divine Rune of Death that Long Yu had comprehended was equivalent to comprehending the third level of the Divine Rune Origin. It was the strongest level of Divine Rune power!
Although Long Yu only needed to comprehend one tenth of the power of the Divine Rune of Death to be able to use it to condense his Innate Transcendent Powers, it was impossible for Long Yu to spend a year in Death Valley to comprehend the power of the Divine Rune.
Even if Long Yu wanted to do so, the Death Envoy wouldn't allow it.
"When Jiuyou Dragon Emperor was alive, he had over three thousand disciples, and he never approved of any disciple cultivating in seclusion."
The Death Envoy said, "There is no other way to improve one's combat strength other than through battles. Only by experiencing enough battles can one emerge from a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses and become an expert of a generation. Therefore, from now on, I will bring Death Valley with me and follow you to train. You don't need to have any expectations of me. No matter what danger you encounter, I will not appear to save you. However, when you need to comprehend the Divine Rune of Death, I will appear by your side."
"Bring Death Valley with me?"
Long Yu was startled when he heard this. He subconsciously looked around. Could it be that he could take away Death Valley?
"You can easily do that with that top-ranked ancient weapon in your hand. However, as the Death Envoy, I will naturally not rely on a junior's belongings."
The Death Envoy laughed softly. He raised his hands under his gray robe, and the whole Death Valley began to shake. The power of the Divine Rune of Death began to gather in his body!
Long Yu staggered and subconsciously urged the Xuan Qi in his body to make himself float in the air. At a glance, he saw that the whole Death Valley was floating along with him!
"Go!"
The Death Envoy scolded. Long Yu felt his vision blurred, and the next moment, he appeared in another place.
He glanced around and found that he was in a huge underground cave. He instantly understood that he was now under Shu Chan and Huo Yuanbai. However, this underground cave was probably thousands of feet deep, and with his current cultivation, it was impossible for him to break through.
The next moment, the underground cave shook violently, and a huge palace with an incomparably gloomy aura of death rose from the ground!
"Oh, right, the ancient palace!"
Seeing this, Long Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something.
Since the Shura Province originated from the Shura Abyss, and the Shura Abyss was also the burial place of the Shura Envoy, one of the Nine Nether Envoys under the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor, then the Ancient Asura Palace should be the Shura Envoy's possession, but it had been moved away.
Now, it was normal for the Death Envoy to have his own ancient palace.
Moreover, the Death Envoy and the Ancient Death Palace had reached the highest realm, and it could be said that he could use all the functions of the Ancient Death Palace, including extreme concealment!
In just a blink of an eye, the huge Ancient Death Palace in front of Long Yu, the gloomy palace that occupied his entire field of vision, disappeared just like that, as if it had never been there, or as if what Long Yu saw just now was a complete illusion.
"This ancient palace can actually become invisible! Then, if I am completely compatible with the Ancient Asura Palace … "
Long Yu couldn't help but think to himself.
"The Nine Nether Envoys, every envoy has their own ancient palace, this is our residence, as well as our defensive weapons. These four ancient palaces were all personally crafted by the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor, and their functions are more or less the same "
The Death Envoy's voice resounded in Long Yu's ears: "If you are completely compatible with the Ancient Asura Palace, of course you can also use it to hide your body, at least in this Shen Wu world, no one will be able to find a trace of the ancient palace"
"Now, I will always be by your side, until you die, only then will I return to this place … Of course, there is another very small possibility, that is, when you have the strength to step out of this world, I will always be by your side!"
The Death Envoy's words caused Long Yu to feel a sense of nervousness.
This Death Envoy follows him like this, but doesn't protect him, could it be … to keep an eye on him, Long Yu?
The Death Envoy's strength is too tyrannical, Long Yu can't resist even if he wanted to, at least for now, he can only let the Death Envoy follow him.
"If you keep going forward from here, you will reach the core area of the Asura Abyss. There, you can try to comprehend the Asura Divine Rune Source, if you succeed, it will be a decent boost to your strength"
The Death Envoy continued to speak, and then Long Yu saw that in this several thousand feet underground, there really was an ancient passage that extended into the distance!
