Half a month seems like a long time, but for the homebody creatures who waste their lives.

A day of sleep or something has passed, it's just normal operation.

On this day, the wind was refreshing and the sun was shining.

In front of the waterfall of Mt. Inugami, there is a large boulder.

On the stubborn stone, the fighting teeth that had been sitting here for half a month finally slowly opened their eyes.

Half a month ago, Douya, who gave all the work, said goodbye to his wife temporarily.

I found this good place by myself, and then went into silent retreat.

After half a month of wind and rain, Douya finally managed to sort out the Shushan inheritance in his mind today.

At the same time, he also sorted out his strength to stabilize, after all, the speed of his breakthrough was too fast.

It's so fast that it can make the other big monsters feel ashamed, and even jealous to the point of separation......

Thinking back to the improvement of Douya's strength so far, from a low-level dog demon, it only took a hundred years to break through the realm of the big monster.

Ten years later, he took a solid step towards the realm of the Demon King, which can be called a breakthrough speed against the sky.

Not to mention that others will be surprised, even Douya himself is also surprised.

To paraphrase Ling Yue Xianji's words; Compared to someone, she has lived like a dog.

At present, although Douya's strength has broken through, he still stays in the realm of the big monster.

It's still far from the road of the demon king, and the fighting teeth are still far away.

Not to mention anything else, although the strength of Dou Tooth and Dragon Bone Spirit is almost the same.

But in terms of realm and demon power, Douya had to admit that he did have a gap with the dragon bone spirit.

But it doesn't matter, Dou Ya can be sure that the gap between himself and the dragon bone spirit should not be too big.

As a big monster that has also touched one of the demon king-level realms, someone believes it.

As long as he improves and breaks through again, his strength will definitely be on par with the dragon bone essence!

At that time, the three swords of heaven, earth and man were in hand, and there was also the fighting teeth of the Shushan sword.

If you can't say it, you have to taste what it is like to have a keel essence sashimi.

Is it better to dip it in soy sauce or wasabi?

Ahem! Back to the point –

Since we talked about strength, we have to mention the natural ability of Douya.

Devouring by demonic power!

A hundred years ago, before Douya broke through the big monster, this ability can be said to be the golden finger of Douya.

It can directly absorb the enemy's demonic power without side effects and purify and remove impurities, making it harmless and become its own power.

Relying on this innate ability that is so powerful that it defies the sky, it only took Douya fifty years to break through from a middle-level youkai to a high-level youkai.

Someone cheated in this way, and took a shortcut through the threshold that other monsters would find difficult to cross in their lives, and when they said it, I don't know how many old monsters would vomit blood.

Looking at today's neon, at the beginning of the Heian era, hundreds of years old monsters can be seen everywhere in the deep mountains and old forests, but there will definitely be no less.

But the strength of these old monsters is only about the late stage of the high level, and the weaker ones are even hovering in the early stage of the middle level.

A freak like Douya who broke through the big monster at the age of just over a hundred years and touched the edge threshold of the demon king level.

Not to mention that neon has never appeared, even in the western part of the land of China!

Today, Douya's natural ability to devour demonic power is rarely used.

It's not that this ability is not strong, but Douya feels that he can't use it at the moment.

In the beginning, the innate ability of demonic devouring was a golden finger to accumulate strength and break through the level realm as a fighting tooth.

From the middle-level youkai to the high-level youkai, and finally to the peak bottleneck, when you are only one step away from the big youkai.

Douya suddenly found that no matter how much he absorbed the demon power, he couldn't break through, or even increase the demon power.

Later, after some guidance from the Inu King, he realized that the reason why he couldn't break through was because.

The container that holds his own demonic power, that is, his body, was already full at that time!

It's like a cup full of water, the cup is already full, and you pour water into it.

Eventually, the water will overflow beyond the height of the rim and will not be carried by the cup.

This is a limit that each yokai has in itself.

Therefore, if you want to break through, you must break the upper limit of this water cup container!

Therefore, after becoming a big youkai, Douya's body has been strengthened and changed.

From a small container that could only hold a glass of water, to a larger, more solid container that can hold more water!

However, no matter how big the container is, there is always a limit!

Douya is currently at this limit.

So no matter how much demonic power he absorbed, it would be useless, and in the end it would only be wasted.

To apply a simple formula here, demonic power is equal to cultivation, and one's own container is equal to the realm.

Cultivation determines strength, and realm determines the height of cultivation.

When the realm improves, cultivation will improve, and strength will become stronger!

If you only focus on cultivation and don't pay attention to the realm, then you will put the cart before the horse.

It's going to kill you!

In the past half month of retreat, Douya has not only consolidated himself and sorted out the inheritance of Shushan.

The most important thing in my mind is what to do with his natural ability.

It's too wasteful to leave it all the time, even if absorbing demon power can't make him improve his strength anymore.

But with such a powerful and anti-heaven skill, I always feel as if I haven't found the right way to use it.

This innate ability of his may not be as simple as simply absorbing and refining demonic power.

Thinking of this, Douya couldn't help but start experimenting.

Someone wants to see if their innate ability can absorb anything other than demonic power.

Reaching out to the water in the waterfall, Douya tried for the first time, but failed, and he didn't even suck a drop of water.

Undiscouraged, Douya continued to try, and this time, he pressed his hand on the stone under his ass.

The result is not surprising, or failed, which is also normal, the stone is generally composed of calcium carbonate and silica.

What is this going to suck? Calcium carbonate? Or silica?

Discouraged, his teeth drooped his head, and he felt a little silly.

After calming down for a while, Douya suddenly thought of something, raised his left hand and snapped his fingers.

With a snap, I watched a wisp of flame burn on the thumb of Douya's left hand.

In the next second, Douya tentatively brought his right hand closer to the flames, and then used his talent to absorb it.

Suddenly, the flames disappeared!

Douya's eyes suddenly widened!

"It's done!"

In the time that followed, Douya tried many more times.

The result was so exciting that he could absorb the flames!

With a pop, a cloud of dead grass on the ground was ignited by flames.

He had been using his demonic power as fuel to make the flames burn.

Now the battle tooth has to try to see if the flame burned with natural substances can be absorbed.

Looking at his palms being licked by the flames, although it was not hot, it was strange to Douya that he couldn't absorb these flames!

"Could it be that I'm wrong?"

After trying for a few more minutes, I found that I really couldn't absorb the flames in nature, and my brain felt a little insufficient.

He stretched out his left hand and tried to ignite the flame with demonic power again, and this time he successfully absorbed all the demonic flames in his palm.

"Wait!"

Fighting teeth suddenly flashed in his mind and froze.

He looked down at his hand, then up at the pile of flames in front of him.

An idea gradually took shape in Douya's mind.

"Could it be, my ability can only absorb things with demonic power, right?"

Coming back to his senses, Douya tried to condense a spiral pill in his left hand, and then absorbed it with his right hand.

Sure enough! The spiral pill was absorbed by him!

Feel the part of the demonic power in your body that has been replenished.

Douya walked to the edge of the waterfall pool in a daze, and observed his eyes with the help of the reflection of the water.

"Tsk, I thought I had an eye of reincarnation—"
