Since he had given Kang Shin-mu the ability to devour, it would be a waste if he did not use it.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, this test was not a one-time thing … If Kang Shin-mu failed this time, he could just come again next time. Hence, he decided to try devouring first.
Then, Kang Shin-mu began to release the devouring power and condensed it to cover the crystal door.
As it was the devouring power in human form, the devouring speed was much slower than Kang Shin-mu's full power. However, Kang Shin-mu did not pursue devouring speed too much. As long as he could devour all the golden cosmic runes, it would be enough for Kang Shin-mu to comprehend the mysteries within.
Just like that, three days later.
Kang Shin-mu finally devoured all the golden cosmic runes on the crystal door!
There were a total of four golden cosmic runes. If he wanted to learn to carve and comprehend the power contained within, it would take him at least a month to comprehend one of them …
But now, Kang Shin-mu had devoured them in three days.
However, Kang Shin-mu had only temporarily stored them in the devouring space. He had not completely comprehended them. In the words of the black dragon, Kang Shin-mu's devouring power was not strong enough.
When the devouring power was truly complete, he would be able to comprehend whatever he devoured. That would be the truly terrifying moment.
Now, Kang Shin-mu still had to spend time comprehending those things from the devouring space.
Including these four golden cosmic runes … For Kang Shin-mu, he would need about seven days to comprehend one of these four golden cosmic runes with the help of the devouring power.
That would add up to a month …
This was only the first test after entering the crystal palace, and it actually took so long. However, after learning these four golden cosmic runes, Kang Shin-mu's strength would definitely increase.
He could display more types of Star Rune combinations, and then make the battle style of the inheritance of the power of the Starry Sky more diverse, and more suitable for fighting in different environments.
In comparison, what Kang Shin-mu could comprehend in a month, it would take others three to four months to comprehend. This speed was already quite fast.
…
Time flew by in the crystal temple.
Half a year later, Kang Shin-mu continued to study and comprehend the cosmic runes in the Crystal Divine Palace. There were more combinations, more techniques, and he was getting more and more familiar with them.
Most importantly, after half a year, Kang Shin-mu finally found an astral blue crystal hidden in the depths of the Crystal Temple!
This was the crystal that contained the power of the Starry Sky. It could allow Kang Shin-mu's Starry Sky legacy to break through to the Transcendent level!
And after the Starry Sky Inheritance broke through to the Transcendent God level, the Star Runes used would have a certain spirituality, which would increase the power of any combination of these Star Runes by two or three times.
That was an extremely terrifying increase!
Kang Shin-mu directly swallowed this Star Crystal!
And after he spent seven days digesting the power of the Star Crystal, he felt that the power of the Starry Sky Inheritance in his body had finally transformed!
And most importantly, after reaching the Transcendent God level of the Starry Sky Inheritance, he could master more Star Runes, and even higher-level Star Runes.
Above the white, silver, and gold runes, there were also crystal runes!
Currently, Kang Shin-mu had not mastered a single crystal rune.
But the truly powerful Transcendent God level of the Starry Sky Inheritance lay in the use of crystal runes.
Until now, Kang Shin-mu had mastered a total of 3,000 white Star Runes, 800 silver Star Runes, and 15 gold Star Runes.
When these Star Runes were combined, they could explode with very strong and diverse combat power. But Kang Shin-mu still had not reached the peak Emperor level of the Starry Sky Inheritance.
After all, in the Starry Sky Inheritance, there were a total of more than 100 types of gold Star Runes. In total, it would take at least more than 10 years to completely master them. And this was under the situation where Kang Shin-mu used his devouring power to absorb and comprehend all of them.
If it were someone else, they would probably not be able to master all of them even after a few decades.
Currently, Jiang Shenwu had cultivated 15 Golden Cosmic Runes, all of which were the main Golden Cosmic Runes related to combat. Therefore, he could cast some mainstream Starry Sky Inheritance techniques, which were more than enough to deal with the enemy.
But if he could master more gold Star Runes, Kang Shin-mu's strength would definitely be stronger.
For example, some Star Rune combination attack techniques would have one gold Star Rune, four silver Star Runes, and 16 white Star Runes.
But in fact, some of the silver and white Star Runes could be replaced.
If Kang Shin-mu used two gold Star Runes to replace two of them, the power of the techniques he used would be at least two or three times stronger.
This was the necessity of learning more Star Runes.
Moreover, Kang Shin-mu had not even learned all the white Star Runes. There were more than 10,000 types of white Star Runes. If Kang Shin-mu devoured these Star Runes, he would be able to comprehend one in almost two hours.
But there were too many of them, so Kang Shin-mu had not cultivated too many of them.
"So many Star Runes, it's really a headache!
Fortunately, now that I have learned the Crystal Star Runes, the upper limit of my strength has increased a lot! "
After obtaining the Starry Sky Crystal, Kang Shin-mu left the Crystal Palace.
The others had not come out yet, because Kang Shin-mu did not feel the marks they left behind.
"It took me more than half a year to break through to the Transcendent Grade … Wouldn't it take me several years to advance from the Transcendent Grade to the Supreme Grade?"
Kang Shin-mu smiled bitterly, but there was nothing he could do.
There was no inheritance that could be achieved overnight. Perhaps when Kang Shin-mu's devouring power reached the peak level, as the Black Dragon Consciousness had said, he would be able to comprehend whatever he devoured, and then he would be able to quickly master some kind of inheritance.
But at this stage, even Kang Shin-mu was only a few times faster than others, so he could not be allowed to improve quickly.
The growth of strength ultimately depended on the accumulation of daily life. For example, the most important thing for this Star Inheritance was to study Star Runes …
Kang Shin-mu had a feeling that if he did not spend all his time on this, his attainments in this aspect might be surpassed by Chen Chong and Wei Shaoning.
