Meanwhile, emerald and black light swirled around both Yvonne and Gulistan, fueling their bodies with vast waves of devil force, while their hearts turned into Devil Hearts. Though the Devil Road wasn't and didn't affect bloodlines, it was a system of its own. The Devil Road built its foundation on the heart, transforming it into a Devil Variation of what it previously was. The completion of this process that Konrad dubbed Devil Conversion was the unavoidable step to reach the Heart Devil Realm.

　　 And among other things, Heart Devils could control the fear, longing, dreams, desires, and demons within a cultivators' heart. On the Three Realms' scale, even an early-stage Void G.o.d should thread carefully before an early-stage Heart Devil's abilities. Moreover, Konrad didn't doubt that in terms of same-level battle power, devils were unrivaled within the Omniverse.

　　 And as Yvonne and Gulistan reached the early-stage Heart Devil Realm, on cultivation alone, they already rivaled peak-stage True G.o.ds. Of course, such startling abilities didn't come without a cost. Devils all should possess rock-solid Dao Hearts. Without it, even with Konrad's guidance, they could never go far on the Devil Road.

　　 Leaving the two to digest their gains, Konrad donned a black robe embroidered with a nine-headed icy-blue dragon and vanished in a billowing haze to reappear within his private cultivation chambers of the Empyrean Tower's Concealed Paradise.

　　 There, he waved his hand, causing his previous body to appear before him. And as he lowered his eyes on the pale corpse, even Konrad was forced to admit that there was little to do with it. In terms of strength, it would never again be a boon. Even all those Three Realms Physiques combined, couldn't kindle his interest. Only the Three Forbidden Physiques were the exception.

　　 But Konrad already retrieved the Might Reversal Physique from his armor, absorbed the curse, and integrated it with his body to transform and upgrade it into a Boundless Sea Devil Physique. Once he obtained the remaining two Forbidden Physiques, throughout the Three Realms, no Physique could again catch his eyes. As for the cultivation?

　　 Bah!

　　 Was that even a question? But recalling how much he struggled to build this impeccable foundation, Konrad truly had a hard time to accept seeing it all turn into nothing. Meridians, Avatar, Star Quant.i.ty, all those no longer served any purpose.

　　 With a sigh, he closed his eyes and folded his arms beneath his chest.

　　 "The gains more than make up for the losses. A man of high aspirations cannot dwell on trifles."

　　 Konrad stated, and stretched out his hand, causing the corpse to burst into light particles and morph into two distinct spheres. One possessed his cultivation foundation, the other, his physiques. Although he currently had no use for them, that didn't mean they couldn't be of use in the future.
