Chapter 3768: Devil Flame’s Plan
There were three benefits.
The first was the Gold-Devouring Clan’s innate ability to sense special crystals.
The second was the knowledge and experience of Devil Flame, the Ultimate Ruler.
The third was the Gold-Devouring divine body.
The first two benefits were of no use to Jian Wushuang at the moment. After all, he was still in this Star Field and did not need much knowledge and experience, as for the innate sensing ability of the pair of special gems…he did not need any special gems at the moment.
For example, the saber that he had previously obtained contained the Scarlet Blaze iron, but it was useless in his hands. That was why he had devoured it by the Devil Flame.
On the contrary, the third benefit mentioned by the Devil Flame caught Jian Wushuang’s attention.
“Gold-Devouring divine body?” Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes.
He had witnessed the scene when Pupil Master summoned the Gold-Devouring divine body from the Blood-Red Gourd.
Pupil Master’s battle strength was only that of a Primary Ruler. However, after summoning the Gold-Devouring divine body, his battle strength could rival that of a Senior Ruler. He was even considered very strong among Senior Rulers.
Especially his divine body, which could be many times stronger.
Of course, Jian Wushuang was interested in such an ability.
Of course, Pupil Master’s strength was much weaker than his, which was why his strength had increased so much after summoning the Gold-Devouring divine body. Jian Wushuang himself was the strongest among the Senior Rulers, so even with the help of the Gold-Devouring divine body, his strength would not increase too much, but it would increase a lot more or less.
It might even give him the ability to fight with a Superior Ruler.
“Devil Flame, what are the conditions for summoning the Gold-Devouring divine body?” Jian Wushuang asked.
“This…” Devil Flame hesitated for a moment, then he said, “Master, the Gold-Devouring divine body is still in the stage of remodeling and has just begun to be molded. It is not perfect enough. Although Master can summon it to enhance his own strength, the power consumed after each summoning is enormous. It requires a large number of special crystals to restore the Gold-Devouring divine body to the unsummoned stage.”
“Is that so?” Jian Wushuang’s eyes narrowed.
“Of course, master, unless it’s a critical moment, you shouldn’t summon the Gold-Devouring divine body. If you have the chance, you can get as many special crystals as you can for me to eat. In this way, my reconstructed Gold-Devouring divine body will become more and more powerful. After I summon it, it will enhance your strength,” Devil Flame added.
“I understand.” Jian Wushuang nodded slightly.
He understood the use of the Gold-Devouring divine body. It was a divine body reconstructed by the Devil Flame. However, due to the special relations.h.i.+p of the Gold-Devouring clan, the Gold-Devouring divine body could enhance his strength like a Supreme Treasure. However, every time he used it, he would need to spend a large number of special crystals to replenish it.
If he did not use the Gold-Devouring divine body and often gave a large number of special gems to the Devil Flame to devour, the Gold-Devouring divine body would become stronger and more useful to him.
Of course, this was only what the Devil Flame said. As for the truth, Jian Wushuang did not fully believe it.
“This Gold-Devouring divine body is a full-faith divine body prepared by the Devil Flame for himself. It can withstand his cultivation and strength at his peak. If I really give him all kinds of special gems at all costs and let him completely reconstruct the Gold-Devouring divine body, he will be able to recover 80 percent of his strength at his peak after he completely controls the Gold-Devouring divine body,” Jian Wushuang muttered to himself.
How strong was a master at the peak of the Devil Flame?
He was an Ultimate Ruler, second only to a Supreme Being and a heaven-defying master who had comprehended a trace of the universe’s principles.
If such a super expert recovered his peak strength, Jian Wushuang was not confident that he could completely control him.
Even though the soul origin of the Devil Flame was in his hands, and it was respectful to him, as if it had completely submitted to him, Jian Wushuang was still very vigilant about the Devil Flame.
After all, a Ruler at the ultimate level who had traveled in the deepest part of the universe, who knew if he had any special means to escape from his control.
If he did not have it, it would be fine, but if he really did have it, then he would be digging a hole for himself by painstakingly collecting all kinds of special crystals for him to recover his peak strength.
Once the Devil Flame recovered its peak strength and got out of his control, the Devil Flame would immediately kill him.
Jian Wushuang had to be vigilant.
As he expected, the Devil Flame was respectful on the surface and called Jian Wushuang ‘master’ affectionately. It did not dare to go against Jian Wushuang’s question, but it was forced by the situation, he had no choice.
In order to survive, he had to bow down to Jian Wushuang.
However, it did not mean that he was willing to submit to Jian Wushuang. After all, how could a Ruler of the ultimate level sincerely submit to an ant at the level of a Principles Master?
Even if this Principles Master was the legendary perfect life.
“I have no choice but to support you now, but you must not let me find an opportunity, or else…” Devil Flame was already making all kinds of plans in his heart.
He was already thinking about how to find an opportunity to kill Jian Wushuang and then get rid of Jian Wushuang’s control.
After all, his soul origin was in Jian Wushuang’s hands. If Jian Wushuang was slightly unhappy, he could kill him. He was not willing to let Jian Wushuang completely control his life and death, but he had no way at the moment.
His current plan was very clear. He would wait for Jian Wushuang to die.
He knew very well that with Jian Wushuang’s strength, it might be difficult for him to die in this Star Field, but sooner or later, he would have to go to other Star Fields or the depths of the universe, once he went to a wider Star Field, there would be many experts there, so there would be many dangers.
Even though Jian Wushuang was a perfect life, he would still die if he was not careful.
As long as Jian Wushuang died, he would be able to escape from Jian Wushuang’s control.
Of course, before he died, Jian Wushuang might still choose to kill his soul and let him die with him, but he was not worried at all.
“Humph, he is just a Principles Master. His understanding of the soul is rough. Even if I give him control of my soul origin, it won’t be easy for him to kill me with this trace of soul origin.”
“Moreover, there are so many dangers in the universe. Many dangers are fleeting. He might die in an instant. He won’t even have a chance to react. How can he deal with me?”
Devil Flame thought clearly in his heart.
However, he was still powerless in the face of Jian Wushuang. He could only be obedient to Jian Wushuang.
