However…
Even though the Essence Devouring Art was domineering, the side effects were equally great.
Essence energy, internal force, blood energy, and soul power were still fine. They were the same for almost everyone.
However, there were many people with different attributes in true energy and true essence.
When these true energy and true essence of different attributes were absorbed into his dantian, the Essence Devouring Art would only forcefully stick them together instead of completely melting and fusing them.
When a martial artist's cultivation is thereby strengthened, the martial artist's consciousness would naturally be stronger when they gained the upper hand.
However, if one day he was at a disadvantage, his chaotic aura would immediately explode and he would fall into Qi Deviation.
Therefore, this was a heretic art!
