Dual Cultivation: Omnipotent Villain with Reader System!-Chapter 61: The taboo incarnate? Whole world unite.

Now,

Holding the two Supreme Dao bones in his hands, he showed not the slightest hesitation. To him, treasures bestowed by heaven were no different from ordinary materials—valuable only insofar as they could be refined and made his own.

With a single thought, the All-Refining Devil Fire surged forth... Pure black flames bloomed in his palms, carrying an aura of absolute. The moment the fire wrapped around the Dao bones, they began to tremble violently. Brilliant light erupted as ancient dao patterns surfaced, resisting with instinctive defiance, as though the will of heaven itself was struggling against destruction.

For a brief moment, the radiance of the Supreme Dao flared to its peak, glowing brightly, then it was swallowed.

Under the devil fire’s refinement, the bones did not burn like mortal objects. Instead, they softened, cracked, and gradually dissolved, their rigid forms collapsing into streams of pure Supreme Dao essence.

Laws were stripped away, impurities erased, leaving behind only the most fundamental and profound Dao origin.

He watched calmly as the essence gathered before him, swirling like liquid starlight. There existed a simpler method, like he could have directly removed his own bone and replaced it with hers. However, her Dao bone, though supreme, was still immature, its vessel small and incomplete. Tianmo had no interest in reshaping his body around another’s foundation.

It foolishness.

What’s more. He trusted his own bones.

Guiding the refined essence with precise control, he began the second stage of refinement. To inject them into his bone.

Woosh!

The dao essence slowly fused, its violent nature tempered and aligned with his own dao intent. Only after its resistance was completely erased did he direct it inward, allowing it to seep into his skeletal frame.

As the essence entered his body, his bones resonated faintly, responding as if awakened from a deep slumber.

Fine dao patterns began to form, carving themselves into his bone marrow, layer by layer, slow yet inexorable. Half an hour later, the devil fire gradually receded.

The Supreme Dao essence had been fully absorbed, leaving no trace of rejection or instability. The location of two new Dao bones was now sealed within his frame: one in his left arm and one in his right hand.

[Supreme Dao Bones: 10/268]

One day, he shall make sure that every bone in his body is a Supreme Dao bone.

But for now, the rest of the bones were still mortal bones at the diamond stage.

Come to think of it... His Shadow Needles and Asura Sword were both growth-type weapons that grow by feeding on immortal blood. Alas, benevolence is a faraway concept, a parallel line that never intersects with reality.

He also needs to form a Golden core and learn Mana and cultivate Mana.

Spiritual Energy Qi is the energy of Heaven and Earth, while Mana is the energy of nature such as fire, water, air, etc. After forming one can cultivate the Golden core/Mana.

Mana cultivation is divided into: Elemental disciple, Elemental master, grandmaster, Lord, King, Emperor, Supreme, and Elemental Saint.

Reaching a higher realm opens more paths. For instance, he now has two souls, his soul and the divine Soul. And both can be cultivated.

Soul Cultivation: Soul awakening realm, Soul tempering realm, Soul Sea realm, Soul core realm, True Soul realm, Soul Rebirth realm, Soul fusion realm, Star soul realm.

Like another cultivation realm, it is also divided into 9 minor realms, and from First to Ninth, and each of them is further divided into four stages—Early, mid, late, and peak.

Cultivation is a long and vast journey, but speed is the only currency that matters here.

With a thought, he returned back to the Wang family hall.

**

Meanwhile, somewhere else,

"CALAMITY!! Something has happened to Young Miss... Her soul lamp has shattered!"

A shrill scream pierced the air, echoing through the Tang family estate. The tranquility of the flying island was instantly shattered as maids and servants scrambled in panic, their faces pale with terror.

What do you mean by Young Miss’s soul lamp has shattered?!

A Old man, deep in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, a strong pressure spreading across thousands of miles. He had broken through the Void refining realm reaching the Holy Saint realm, but there wasn’t any happiness on his face. Instead, it was a face of terror.

His great-granddaughter has met her demise?! Who dares court death?! Outrageous!!! Their entire bloodline must be tired of living.

With more thought, he teleported to the family’s main hall.

The man sitting in the main seat, immediately knelt and began to slap himself nonstop, his nose and eyes bleeding.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

"Forgive me Father.... Your son is incompetent! I failed to protect my granddaughter."

The man cried out, his voice cracking with grief and terror. "I was careless! I should have sent more guards! I should have been the one to accompany her!"

The old man stared at his son with eyes full of disappointment and rage. "Careless?! You call this careless?!"

His great-granddaughter was hope, born with Dual Supreme Dao bones. Someone destined to reach the top, climb the mountains above mountains, and become a legend. She was the pride of the entire lineage.

Now, she was dead. Just like that.

"Father, I beg you... punish me as you see fit," the man pleaded, his body trembling violently. "I will atone for my sins with my life."

The old man remained silent, his face a mask of terrifying gloom. He looked at the shattered soul lamp on the table, the tiny flickering light extinguished, leaving only cold darkness. It was a void where a future Saint King should have been.

"Incompetence! Find out who did it... I want his entire nine generations to a most painful death imaginable. This old man believes it must be those demonic sects."

The old man’s killing intent was vast and profound, a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the air itself. "Do not disappoint me. You have two days... If you can’t find out who did it within two days, don’t dirty my hand, kill yourself..."

The old man’s gaze shifted from his weeping son to the vast, empty hall.

Someone dares to touch a member of their Tang Clan?! How courageous, or perhaps, how foolish.

The Tang Clan was a massive power in the Eastern Region. Tho, they weren’t the top force in the eastern region like the top five, but they were no less, with the ancestor making a breakthrough to the Holy Saint realm.

"Yes, yes, yes... This one will find out who did it within one day, I also believe it must be the work of that demonic sect. I have sent two family elders to where her breath was still lingering, and, we will get an answer soon."

The old man, Tang Jingshan, the current Patriarch of the Tang Clan, stood abruptly. His robes rustled as he turned his gaze toward the southern horizon, where the Mystic Cloud Formation Pavilion was located.

Poor little girl... It’s all the fault of the grandfather for being careless. Who could have thought the world was so cruel? He clenched his fist, vowing to take revenge.

***

Liu Xiu, had recently made a breakthrough to the Soul formation realm. As he returned to the cultivation world from his zombie-infested world, he met the faceless characters.

The servants of heaven. The one blessed with profound law.

"Young man... Last time you made a grave mistake. Not only did you not manage to kill Tianmo, but you also further enhanced his strength. Now, he has broken through the Second stage of the Soul Lord realm."

The faceless figure’s voice was devoid of emotion, like wind passing through a hollow valley.

Liu Xiu glanced at him, his eyes almost popping out. He even forgot that this person had seen him come out of their air, but it is a common thing.

Soul Lord realm?!

What do you mean by he has broken through the Soul Lord realm!? What kind of concept was this?

"Senior, this junior was careless. I unexpectedly received a backlash... It seems someone there possessed a powerful bloodline or heart, capable of withstanding the Phantom Heart Gu," Liu Xiu stammered, a bead of cold sweat rolling down his temple.

"You are correct. That Elder Xuan possessed the All-Refining Devil Flame and the True Devil Heart—two supreme demonic treasures capable of nullifying the Phantom Heart Gu’s parasitic nature. Now, both of them belong to that monster, Tianmo. With his Formless Spiritual Root, he can assimilate their essence instantly. Once he reaches the Soul Emperor realm in full, he will come for you. His path is one of slaughter; he will not stop until the Heaven-Slaughtering Demonic Sect is but a memory in the dust. Be wise, Liu Xiu... Kill him before he kills you. In this Dao, borrowing a knife is the only way to survive."

The faceless figure’s voice was devoid of hollow yet full of wisdom.

Liu Xiu’s face drained of all color, turning ashen as a corpse.

He stood frozen, his mind frozen like ice from the revelation. To think such treasures existed. He can’t help but feel his chest tightening. Senior is right, he needs to kill him before he, himself gets killed by the other party.

"Senior... This junior was reckless," Liu Xiu stammered, a cold sweat beading on his forehead, soaking the front of his robes. "I did not expect Elder Xuan to possess such terrifying demonic treasures. To think that Tianmo had already assimilated them... I have only dug my own grave further, is there a solution?!"

The faceless figure did not respond, merely waving a hand summoning a Time-space mirror, a powerful treasure capable of showing the past.

"This is a Gazing mirror, an artifact that can show the events that happened within the past. Take it and go to the Mystic Cloud Formation Pavilion, and you will get a sharp knife. This time don’t hesitate. Also ask a favor from your master... Kill Tianmo as soon as possible."

Muttering those words, the Faceless character vanished into thin air.

Liu Xiu clenched his fist. No, that Tianmo can’t be allowed to exist. He is too abnormal... How can he reach the soul Lord realm from the mere foundation stage? Fear heavens.

Without hesitation, he rushed towards the Mystic Cloud Formarion pavilion.

Reaching there,

The place was in ruins, a crater gouged into the earth where the black iron walls had stood when he had come here before.

Looking closely, he saw two elders seemingly searching for something with their spiritual senses. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"No... We can’t return with no information. Whoever did this left no spiritual leakage behind. We may never be able to find the culprit," Elder gulped down hard uttering those words, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Another elder was equally terrified. How can they explain this to the Ancestor?

Liu Xiu understood right away what had happened here. A smile formed on his lips. He moved forward and cupped his fist.

"Greetings esteemed Elders, this junior is Liu Xiu, and I believe I can slow your problem down."

Liu Xiu’s voice was smooth, carrying the natural arrogance of a Holy Son. He stepped lightly onto the debris, his robes fluttering as he surveyed the ruin with a gaze that was both curious and predatory, hiding a sinister soul-chilling glint.

"Hau! You claimed you can help us... Please enlighten us," one of the elders said, his fist glowing with dazzling lightning runes ready to strike Liu Xiu.

"Elders... This Junior doesn’t jest, I possess a Gazing mirror that can reflect the past. I believe it is useful for Elders at the moment..."

"Oh!" The elder who was ready to strike, thought for a moment and dissolved his runes, watching the junior with keen interest. What a heaven-sent opportunity.

"Marvelous! Simply marvelous... Speak what you need for letting us use the Gazing mirror. We are willing to pay any price."

"Seniors must be jesting. This junior walks the path of benevolence—how could I ask for compensation for merely assisting with such a simple task?" said the Holy Son of the Heaven-Slaughtering Sect calmly.

Both elders looked at each other but decided not to speak anything.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Afterwards, Liu Xiu activated the mirror by injecting his Qi, revealing the past.

The elders could only watch as Tianmo slaughtered their Young Miss without the slightest mercy and seized the Supreme Dao bones from her shattered body.

How bold.

But then—

That fire... A chill ran down their spines. Is this what they think it is... The one recorded in the most sinister runes in history.

"Is that... All-Refining Devil Fire?" one of the elders muttered, his voice trembling. "One of the Seven Taboos?!"

The Seven Taboos were seven legendary devil traits, each representing a pinnacle of forbidden power: the True Devil Heart, the All-Refining Devil Fire, the Pure Evil Devil Eyes, the Taboo Devil Physique, the All-Shattering Devil Bloodline, the Anti-Concept Taboo Devil Soul, and the Reverse-Law Devil Body.

Any one of them was enough to defy the heavens.

Anyone who possessed even a single Taboo was deemed a calamity, an existence that the world itself would instinctively reject and hunt down.

That was precisely why Elder Xuan Ji, who possessed both the True Devil Heart and the All-Refining Devil Fire, had spent his entire life hiding in the shadows, never daring to act openly. Otherwise whole world would have united to kill him.

One can’t hold every star in one hand.

"Yes... That is All-Refining Devil Fire..." the elder gasped, his body shaking violently. "He must be eliminated. Spread the news immediately—the Devil Heir has appeared. A calamity is about to descend upon this world... It’s time for all to unite."

"Yes," the second elder said grimly, his eyes cold. "We cannot allow him to grow. He must be killed, no matter the cost."

At that moment, Liu Xiu was struck by sudden enlightenment. So that was why. No wonder his breakthroughs had been so terrifyingly rapid.

No wonder he had leaped from the Foundation Realm to the Soul Lord Realm in such a short time. He wasn’t merely a genius, he was a Taboo incarnate.
