Free Web NovelChapter 233: Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique and Soul Refinement Technique
Tang Yin waved his arms in a mysterious manner, as if he was making some sort of seal but at the same time was not.
A large number of wisps of white light converged together at an extremely rapid rate. They pulsated and conjoined with each other to become thicker.
This continued for a few moments until the outcome was a spherical ball of black light.
The black ball of light was extremely thick and radiated strong soul force. It also held a tint of aura belonging to the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
Tang Yin’s soul’s eyes became even more dreary. But he still continued, if he stopped the formation of his Soul Sea right now, all his previous efforts would go to waste, including the Spirit Soul Fruit.
Tang Yin also harboured some doubts, the process of all the wisps of white light converging together to create a ball of light was normal. However, it was a slow process.
But this process for him had happened in a rapid and fierce manner. Due to the tint of aura belonging to the Heaven Devouring Abyss lingering on the ball of black light, Tang Yin speculated that the process had been sped up and enhanced by the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
Tang Yin was at the last few steps of forming his Soul Sea, he could not falter now. He swiftly widened his arms, as if welcoming something.
The ball of black light started to thump. Furthermore, the black light emanating from it became brighter.
It then quickly began to expand. Due to the sheer size of the space in Tang Yin’s mind, the ball of black light took quite a long time to expand to the boundary of the Heaven Devouring Abyss despite enlarging promptly.
Nonetheless, its expansion came to a halt after enlarging for a whole week without end.
Tang Yin’s soul’s arms slowly dropped down to its sides, its eyes almost bleak. He had truly spent too much of his soul force to form his Soul Sea.
Tang Yin’s soul was currently standing within an extremely large spherical ball of black light. It was transparent, therefore, the Heaven Devouring Abyss surrounding the ball of light was visible.
It could be imagined as a black crystal ball surrounded by a fierce black wind. The black crystal ball represented Tang Yin’s Soul Sea, whilst the fierce black wind exemplified the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
Tang Yin’s soul sat down cross-legged and closed its eyes.
Tang Yin who was inside the cave abode opened his eyes. Everything was exactly the same, except for the almost empty look in his eyes.
He hastily brought out the Soul Nourishing Pills which he had obtained in the Mysterious Mountain Auction and stuffed them down his throat. freewebnøvel.com
An abundant amount of Soul Energy entered Tang Yin’s Soul Sea and filled it up.
An abyssal black sea appeared in Tang Yin’s Soul Sea, and his soul was sitting cross-legged above the sea. With a large inhale, some of the sea was pulled into his surreal body, the bleak look in its eyes vanishing, replaced by vivification.
Soul Energy was a type of energy that was different from Spirit Qi. It allowed a cultivator to recuperate from the expenditure of their soul and divine sense.
For example, the Sun-Moon Great Illusion Art was a soul-type attack. Therefore, it required Soul Energy to be cast.
Soul Energy is a completely different type of energy which can be used to replenish one’s soul or be consumed to fuel one’s soul attack.
The reason why Tang Yin was able to cast the Sun-Moon Great Illusion Art without Soul Energy in the past was because he had used the sheer power of his soul as a power source. Naturally, this had its demerits. If he used the Sun-Moon Great Illusion Art constantly without Soul Energy in the future, his soul could be permanently damaged.
The Soul Sea was technically a large spherical container for Soul Energy and Tang Yin’s soul.
It was similar to how a cultivator in the Physique Transformation Realm would store their Qi inside their Qi Sea.
Other than this, Tang Yin felt the difference between his Soul Sea and other Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator’s Soul Sea.
His Soul Sea was much sturdier and larger compared to others, meaning his capacity to hold Soul Energy and the strength of his divine sense was much stronger than other Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators.
As Tang Yin recalled everything he knew about Soul Energy and the difference between his Soul Sea and the Pink Vapour Clan Patriarch’s Soul Sea, he realised that it had been just over 2 months since he entered seclusion.
He had around a week or two to arrive at Sun Gazing Mountain to participate in the Exotic Distribution Tournament.
Just as Tang Yin was about to leave, he recalled something.
The Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit.
Now that he was an Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator, the techniques in the fifth layer of the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit were available for preview.
As Tang Yin browsed the fifth layer of the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit, he was stunned to the spot. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
According to the Sanskrit, he would obtain 2 techniques at the Early-stage of the Spirit Ascension Realm.
’Aren’t I already at the Early-stage Spirit Ascension Realm?’ Tang Yin thought to himself. Since this was the case, didn’t that mean he had already obtained these 2 techniques the moment he formed his Soul Sea?
The more Tang Yin read the fifth layer of the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit, the more his excitement intensified. His doubts also slowly vanished.
According to the Heaven Devouring Abyss, the first skill he would obtain was called, the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique.
Just the name was a dead giveaway. The Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit had a method which described to Tang Yin how he could obtain a Cultivation Physique, the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique.
It was actually quite simple, all he had to do was Devour resources and direct the energy obtained from them to refine his body.
’Isn’t that what I’ve been doing this whole time?’ Tang Yin suddenly realised he had already used so many resources and the Spirit Qi in the Heaven Ascension Peak to temper his body.
However, as he continued to read the description of the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique, Tang Yin realised the difference.
The method he had used before was simply to Devour energy to temper and strengthen his body. It was quite barbaric.
Whereas, the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique had a special template Tang Yin had to follow to refine his body to obtain the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique.
Take a sword for example. If one just swung a sword, it was just a simple and crude attack. However, if one swung a sword utilizing a sword technique, the efficiency and power of the sword attack would be enhanced to a higher level.
It was similar to what Tang Yin was doing in the past, he had simply swung the Abyssal Sword to create a normal sword energy. But, when he executed the Void Splitting Slash, the power and destructiveness of the skill were considerably stronger than just a normal sword energy.
The Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique depicted a detailed guide for Tang Yin to follow. Some parts of his body might need to be refined more than the other body parts. Whereas some body parts might require a special refining style.
In the end, it did not matter. The Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique could be obtained if Tang Yin followed the method described in the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit. And Tang Yin planned to do exactly that.
Additionally, the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique was also split up into 4 stages. Initial Success, Minor Success, Major Success and Perfection.
Tang Yin did not need to start from scratch either. As long as he devoured some resources to refine and amend some parts of his body, he could almost reach the Initial Success stage instantly.
According to the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit, only when Tang Yin’s body reached the standard to fight a peak Spirit Ascension Realm cultivator, would he reach the Initial Success stage in the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique.
As for Minor Success, Tang Yin would need to be able to battle peak Law Creation Realm cultivators with just his body. This was extremely far away for the current Tang Yin, and he decided to dwell on this at a later date.
After receiving the guide to obtain the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique, Tang Yin looked at the second technique. His eyes narrowed.
The second skill was called, the Soul Refinement Technique.
It was quite a straightforward technique. Tang Yin could Devour all types of soul-related resources, souls, Beast Souls etc, to strengthen his soul indefinitely.
This meant that as long as he possessed enough soul-type resources, he could strengthen his soul infinitely.
Although the Soul Refinement Technique might sound crude and short, it was actually incredibly profound.
Hypothetically, if Tang Yin’s soul was as strong as a Law Creation Realm cultivator’s soul, he could most likely kill Law Domain Realm cultivators by directly attacking them with his divine sense.
The only problem was that soul-type resources were rare and in high demand. Therefore, a better option would be to directly Devour Souls and Beast Souls.
There was also a limitation to the Soul Refinement Technique.
If Tang Yin devoured a common soul-type resource or a weak cultivator’s soul, the increment of strength added to his soul would be negligible. Of course, if he devoured in mass, the increase in strength to his soul would be much higher. So technically, this limitation was not actually a hindrance, but rather common sense.
’With the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique and the Soul Refinement Technique, I can finally put my wealth to good use and have a direct path of advancement.’ Tang Yin grinned foolishly, the convenience and value of these 2 skills were extremely important to him.
Without the Heaven Devouring Abyss Physique, he would still temper his body by devouring resources, but it would be full of defects. And without the Soul Refinement Technique, he would have to settle for some shabby soul-strengthening technique which would have detrimental flaws and limitations.
