"Can Devouring Intent really be comprehended in a place like this?"

Li Yun raised his brows slightly as confusion appeared within his eyes.

From a logical standpoint, this environment seemed far more suitable for comprehending Star Intent or perhaps even Space Intent. No matter how he looked at it, it did not appear to have much connection to Devouring Intent.

However, just as this thought surfaced within his mind, the entire dark universe suddenly trembled violently.

Then, in the empty void directly ahead of Li Yun, a tiny speck of black light abruptly appeared.

Li Yun’s gaze immediately focused upon it.

Under his watchful eyes, the tiny black speck rapidly began expanding at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, it rotated frantically like a wheel spinning millions of times every second.

In less than a few breaths, the black speck that had originally been no larger than a grain of rice transformed into an enormous black hole several hundred meters wide.

As it rotated wildly, a terrifying devouring force burst forth from within it.

The moment Li Yun sensed that devouring force, his expression changed drastically.

Compared to the terrifying suction emitted by this massive black hole, the devouring power he currently possessed was insignificant beyond comparison. The difference between the two was like comparing a tiny puddle of water to an endless ocean.

When Li Yun unleashed his own devouring force at full power, he could at most absorb the energy within a radius of several tens of thousands of meters.

Yet the devouring force emitted by this gigantic black hole covered a range of tens of thousands of li.

The gap was simply unimaginable.

At the same time, the countless massive stars floating throughout the dark star river suddenly began moving toward the black hole.

Although their movement appeared slow at first glance because of their enormous size, the actual speed was astonishingly fast. It was as though an invisible hand was dragging every star relentlessly toward destruction.

One after another, the gigantic stars were swallowed into the black hole.

The moment they entered its range, their massive bodies immediately began shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their enormous forms collapsed continuously as they were devoured and digested by the terrifying black hole.

Even stars themselves could not resist its devouring power.

Seeing such a horrifying scene, Li Yun finally understood just how terrifying true Devouring Intent could become once cultivated to a sufficiently high level.

This was not merely devouring energy.

This was the ability to devour everything.

Worlds.

Stars. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Matter.

Energy.

Even existence itself.

Yet despite the terrifying devouring force surrounding him from every direction, Li Yun remained completely unaffected. The horrifying suction brushed past his body like a gentle breeze without causing him the slightest discomfort.

Naturally, this was because everything before him was merely an illusion created by the Enlightenment Dragon Hall rather than a real black hole.

However, despite being an illusion, it felt incomparably real.

If Li Yun had not noticed that the devouring force caused him no actual harm, even he would have found it impossible to distinguish illusion from reality.

Only an environment this realistic could truly assist a martial artist in comprehending a Martial Dao Intent.

After all, if the illusion were too crude and false, allowing others to immediately see through it, then naturally it would become impossible to immerse oneself deeply enough to comprehend the mysteries of Martial Dao.

The Enlightenment Dragon Hall truly deserved its reputation as the Dragon Emperor’s supreme treasure. The realism of this scene had already surpassed the limits of ordinary illusion techniques. Everything before Li Yun felt incomparably real, to the point where he even began suspecting that this was not an illusion at all.

Instead, he believed that the Dragon Emperor must once have personally witnessed the terrifying scene of a black hole appearing within the star river and devouring everything in existence.

After witnessing such a scene, the Dragon Emperor had likely used some heaven defying Divine Ability to perfectly preserve and record it within the Enlightenment Dragon Hall. Only then could such a shocking and lifelike environment be recreated.

And the truth was indeed very close to Li Yun’s guess.

The environments within the Enlightenment Dragon Hall that assisted martial artists in comprehending Martial Dao Intents were not simple illusions created from thin air.

Back then, the Dragon Emperor had traveled throughout countless regions of the continent, searching for locations naturally suited for comprehending different Martial Dao Intents. Whenever he encountered such places, he would use his incomparably powerful Divine Abilities to record them before integrating those records into the ancient formations within the Enlightenment Dragon Hall.

Only because of this did the Enlightenment Dragon Hall possess such miraculous abilities.

After all, if Martial Dao Intents could truly be comprehended merely through ordinary illusions, then these supreme powers would not remain legendary abilities that countless martial artists dreamed of obtaining. They would have already become common throughout the world long ago.

"My decision to comprehend Devouring Intent was truly the correct choice."

As Li Yun gazed at the horrifying black hole swallowing entire stars before his eyes, he could not help but feel fortunate about his decision.

He had always known that comprehending Devouring Intent would be extremely difficult.

However, only now did he realize just how terrifying that difficulty truly was.

If he had missed this opportunity inside the Enlightenment Dragon Hall, then perhaps even after another ten or twenty years, unless he encountered some heaven defying opportunity, he might never have another chance to comprehend Devouring Intent.

The difficulty of comprehending Devouring Intent did not merely lie within the profundity of the Intent itself.

The true problem was the environment required to comprehend it.

The two difficulties combined together were enough to completely destroy the ambitions of nearly every martial artist who wished to pursue Devouring Intent.

Because if one truly wished to comprehend Devouring Intent, then they needed to personally enter the endless star river and witness the terrifying scene of a black hole devouring all existence.

And this alone created several nearly impossible obstacles.
