Worldly Overlord - Chapter 82

Whereas, the so-called treasure hunting monster Devon was fast asleep on the bed.

As soon as Devon got to his room, he fell straight to the bed. He was exhausted, he had barely managed to make it back to the auction because of the aftereffect of using the cosmic energy.

Cosmic energy revolves around the body structure. Which makes it hard for humans with weak physiques to use the energy.

And when they do, they are left with a serious aftereffect that was capable of leaving some of them bedridden for the rest of their lives.

Unlike celestial energy, cosmic energy was hard to utilize for any human. It belongs mainly and solely to the Demons due to their body structure and the world they reside in.

This was also why any human who forcefully gains cosmic energy would turn to an inferior grade Demon. It was mostly due to their body not being able to handle that violent energy.

Demons were born with cosmic energy, so they naturally knew how to handle and withstand cosmic energy. Besides, they were several manuals in the Demon world that increased their knowledge and control about it.

The cosmic energy of the Demons was stronger than the celestial energy of the humans, that was a fact known to the powerhouse in the three worlds.

However, the humans had souls, unlike Demons who don’t. Because the presence of these souls made the celestial energy capable enough to threaten the cosmic energy.

Devon’s physique wasn’t able of handling cosmic energy at the moment. While celestial energy stresses the internal part, cosmic energy has to deal with the external part of the body.

For one to be able to move that energy around the body a strong physique was needed, if not the body would break down.

Earlier if it wasn’t for his breakthrough and his regeneration ability he would have fainted on the ground as using cosmic energy to create a barrier around him wasn’t an easy job.

Some hours passed by….

However, It wasn’t until 42 hours had passed did Devon finally get up from the bed.

He then sat cross-legged, as he was thinking of ways to control the cosmic energy at will, so they wouldn’t be any setback.

Devon knew he was lucky this time around, which was why the effect of the overuse of cosmic energy wasn’t severe and had just caused him to feel exhausted.

But some other day that might not be the case.

During his battle against Derek, he could tell how strong Derek’s physique was, and it was even getting stronger because of cosmic energy.

Though with celestial energy, he could move unhindered in the worlds in about twenty to thirty years from now, who wouldn’t want more power. Devon wanted more power, that was why he didn’t want to let the cosmic energy go.

If people in the underground world heard someone say that within twenty to thirty he or she will go unhindered in the underground world, they would all be stunned.

The dominator and the sovereign had once told him that if he was capable of controlling both celestial and cosmic energy to the max, then with a light punch, he could shatter the world.

The dominator and the sovereign said if he could master that two energies to the maximum level, then defeating the boss of the auction wasn’t impossible. That could show how much damage that two energies had together.

If those words came out of any other person’s mouth, Devon wouldn’t have believed, but these words were from the dominator and the sovereign. Those two didn’t have any reason to lie to him about something like that.

So, he was beginning to look for ways to comprehend those two energies especially cosmic energy.

It would have been better if the three masters knew something about it, instead, they said that energy was tailored made for the demons, so they didn’t have any understanding about it.

However, thanks to the library in the auction he was able to understand one or two things about cosmic energy, which was why he was able to utilize a fraction of it.

It was until he finally used both cosmic energy and celestial energy to launch an attack did he confirm the two masters’ words.

He also finally knew how Derek was able to get cosmic energy, despite that there wasn’t any cosmic energy in the underground world.

While in the midst of learning, Devon received a huge blow from the boss of the auction as he asked him to learn about celestial energy also. As his control over that energy was pitiful.

Besides training with the dominator and the sovereign, he was also learning how to fully grasp that two energies.

Even after all his effort of comprehending that energy for over seven months, he was only able to comprehend 5 percent of it. The remaining 95 percent was unreachable for him at the moment.

There were only two options available for him if he wanted to improve his grasp on the energy.

One is going to Demon world to see their manuals over there, the other was to create a manual by himself.

Going to the Demon world, however, with the strength he had, it was the same as having a death wish.

Though he might be able to survive in the outer part of Demon World, the manuals there would be of very low quality.

And he wasn’t ready to settle for less, which was why he ruled that option out of his mind.

Only the second option was better…

This was the hardest quest, Devon had faced, as creating a manual was extremely hard. And since he was creating a manual that was going to be able to handle both celestial and cosmic energy.

Its level of difficulty increased tremendously.

Four hours had passed since Devon had embarked on the journey of creating a manual.

In the room, a necklace suddenly appeared, it scanned the room as if checking if anyone was looking. The necklace then flew to Devon’s head and began circling it.

After a few minutes, it stopped, however, the necklace wasn’t there anymore instead it had turned into a pitch-black droplet of blood.

Without any hesitation, the blood droplet made a move.

The black blood droplet dropped Into Devon’s head, the blood entered his head without any resistance, like mercury flowing on the ground.

With the blood dropping on Devon’s head came comprehension.

“What is life? What is death? What is power? What is celestial energy? What is cosmic energy?” Devon’s inner self kept asking several odd questions.

It seemed like the blood droplet had all the knowledge in the world. As soon as it entered Devon’s body, his perception increased by miles, making him able to see the truth about several things of the world.

The blood droplet which had just dropped began fusing with Devon’s body. It was bringing several changes to his body, for example, his energy had become purer and his overall strength seemed to have improved once again.

“The Sutra is about to be born,” Devon mumbled with his eyes still closed.

As soon as those words came out of Devon, a domineering aura wanted to bring all beings, either Gods or Devils to their kneel.

It was like a supreme entity looking down on all the beings in the world like they were ants.

Suddenly, Devon frowned, “The grand dao is formless, the grand day is emotionless, sand covers the desert and all things will return to their real origin.”

The black sword had already appeared in front of Devon.

“Those who fail to submit to me shall die to be it the gods or the Devils, all beings will bow in my presence for I am The King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Ruler of rulers, the God of gods… I’m the Overlord.”

A thick layer of black and white energy appeared and began coiling all around Devon’s body. Both energies were very chaotic, it was almost as if they were in a battle with one another.

However, they didn’t seem to be creating any damage to Devon. As his breathing was as calm as it could possibly be, it even seemed like those two energy made him more fully concentrated.

The black sword was greedily absorbing the black and white energy which was around Devon’s body. The sword didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.

As the more energy gathered around Devon, the faster the black sword is absorbed inside it.

Time slowly flowed by, it was unknown if it were seconds, minutes, hours, or even days. Throughout, Devon didn’t move an inch from where he was and remained in his aura less state

During that period, the layer of black and white energy around Devon become plenty. To the extent that it covered his whole body.

“The origin of celestial energy is unknown, the origin of cosmic energy unknown….. But truthfully, they both came from the primal chaos.”

“If so, then what is CHAOS..” Devon suddenly said in a very dark and low voice.
