Free Web NovelChapter 268: Soul Sanctuary and Devastating Void Roar
Tang Yin only spent 3 weeks mastering Soul Dart. He had to admit that its speed was terrifying. Even a Peak-stage Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator would find it difficult to notice the Soul Dart incoming. It would be too late once they detected the Soul Dart.
Now Tang Yin had 2 soul-type Martial Skills to attack with. However, this was not enough for him, he wanted to learn more. He also had hundreds of different soul-type Martial Skills to choose from.
After careful consideration, Tang Yin decided to choose a defensive soul-type Martial Skill.
It was a Tier 2 Martial Skill named Soul Sanctuary.
The Soul Sanctuary Martial Skill created a pure barrier of Soul Energy around the Soul Sea.
The Soul Sanctuary could defend against foreign divine senses, divination and any soul attacks. It functioned depending on the power of the user’s soul.
Tang Yin’s soul was at the Mid-stage of the Principle Manipulation Realm. This meant that the Soul Sanctuary could nullify at least one soul attack from another Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm.
If a cultivator’s divine sense was too powerful for the Soul Sanctuary to ward off, the Martial Skill would self-destruct its essence to buy the user precious time for other countermeasures.
As for divination, it could prevent any cultivator that was not too powerful from gaining any insights from Tang Yin. If the Soul Sanctuary was not powerful enough to defend against divination, it would warn the user beforehand.
The only problem was that it could only be used once.
So, Tang Yin could use a large amount of Soul Energy to erect the Soul Sanctuary around his Soul Sea. The Soul Sanctuary would protect Tang Yin’s soul indefinitely unless he manually deactivated it, or it was destroyed due to external attacks.
The Soul Sanctuary would also only consume a minimum amount of Soul Energy to operate. Tang Yin could practically recover all of the Soul Energy consumed passively, he did not need to do anything.
However, in the case of the Soul Sanctuary being under siege, it would naturally absorb more Soul Energy to strengthen itself.
Once Tang Yin deactivated the Soul Sanctuary or it was destroyed, he would be unable to use the Martial Skill again unless he paid a very hefty price.
Overall, the Soul Sanctuary was a permanent soul-type Martial Skill which protected Tang Yin’s soul and Soul Sea from all external spiritual attacks that were not too powerful compared to Tang Yin’s soul. freewēbnoveℓ.com
The main reason why Tang Yin had decided to form a Soul Sanctuary around his Soul Sea was so that he could be protected from the divination of other cultivators.
He would learn more defensive soul-type Martial Skills to defend against soul attacks. He wanted the Soul Sanctuary to focus solely on protecting him from divination, it did not have any other purpose to him except for acting as a last line of defence for his soul.
Although the chances of someone performing divination on him were minuscule, they still existed. Tang Yin did not want some busybody to snoop around his past and learn his secrets. It would put him in an annoyingly serious dilemma.
After learning how to create the Soul Sanctuary, Tang Yin got to work.
The Soul Sanctuary was a Tier 2 Martial Skill. It would require an extremely immense amount of Soul Energy to create. Tang Yin’s Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm Soul Energy was not enough to create it.
However, he would not decide to learn the Soul Sanctuary if he did not have a solution to this problem.
The Soul Energy inside Tang Yin’s Soul Sea surged and shot up under his control. It stuck like glue to the walls of his Soul Sea. However, the sheet of Soul Energy was so thin that it was indiscernible.
Tang Yin took out a drop of Myriad Spirit Milk and consumed it. More Soul Energy was instantly generated. Similar to what he had just done, Tang Yin made the new supply of Soul Energy stick to the walls of his Soul Sea.
Like this, Tang Yin replenished his Soul Energy 14 times with 14 drops of Myriad Spirit Milk.
All of the Soul Energy was directed to stick to the walls of his Soul Sea.
Once Tang Yin was done. He looked at his Soul Sea with a satisfied gaze.
The walls of his Soul Sea were glowing with a thick white light. It was almost as if the walls of his Soul Sea were being illuminated by the bright sun.
The Soul Sanctuary was not exactly a sanctuary. Its appearance was just a sheet of thick white light which surrounded the Soul Sea.
Although it did not look like much, Tang Yin could feel the overwhelming protection it offered to his Soul Sea. He was quite satisfied with the Soul Sanctuary.
Tang Yin could also feel a negligible amount of Soul Energy being absorbed by the Soul Sanctuary every couple of minutes.
Now that the Soul Sanctuary had been erected, Tang Yin moved on to the next soul-type Martial Skill he wished to learn.
It was a Tier 3 Martial Skill named Devastating Void Roar.
Tang Yin’s soul was powerful enough to learn soul-type Tier 3 Martial Skills without any backlash or consequences. There was no need to learn Tier 4 Martial Skills which did not possess a special trait.
The Devastating Void Roar utilized one’s body and soul to attack. Since Tang Yin’s soul and body were on the level of the Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm, this Martial Skill was perfect for him.
The Devastating Void Roar compromised of both Soul Energy and Spirit Qi which could unleash a devastating blast of energy that could devastate the opponent and obliterate even the most durable defences.
To perform the Devastating Void Roar, one would need to gather their Spirit Qi and Soul Energy into their mouth, forming a concentrated ball of energy that resembled a roaring dragon’s head. As one released the energy, it would explode forth into a deafening roar that could stun all opponents and cause destruction to anything in its path.
The Devastating Void Roar was known for its incredible power, versatility and group annihilation ability. Most of the time, the Devastating Void Roar would be used for offence, but in some special cases, it could be used to defend.
The Devastating Void Roar could shatter one’s divine sense and was an optimal skill to utilize when faced with an Array Formation used by the opponent.
However, the only downside to the Devastating Void Roar was that it required a huge amount of Soul Energy and Spirit Qi to use. Therefore, only cultivators with a high cultivation base and a powerful soul would be able to learn this Martial Skill.
Tang Yin practically had an infinite amount of Abyss Qi after devouring several tens of billions of Low-grade and a billion Mid-grade Spirit Stones. His soul was also at the Mid-stage of the Principle Manipulation Realm.
Another disadvantage of the Devastating Void Roar was that it could not be used too much. Tang Yin could perhaps use it twice or thrice, but after that, his soul and body would be left under severe strain.
Surprisingly, Tang Yin also had a solution to this problem. He could just Devour the body and soul of a cultivator or a Demonic Beast to allow his body and soul to return to its peak.
It almost seemed as if the Devastating Void Roar was tailor-made for him.
Tang Yin obviously could not practice the Devastating Void Roar in the underground cave, otherwise, he would completely destroy the mountain and his cave abode.
Therefore, Tang Yin decided to leave the underground cave and return to the outside world until he mastered the Devastating Void Roar.
He had also made Xiao Fei return to the Azure Luan Pouch after a long session of bickering.
As soon as Tang Yin left the underground cave, he was met with the intense illumination of the sunlight.
Tang Yin spent a few minutes basking in the sunlight and the light breeze. He hadn’t felt all of this in over 8 years.
Once the feeling of nostalgia left him, Tang Yin got to the matter at hand.
His divine sense was currently 1,200 kilometres wide. It was enough to cover 3 Regions, including the Heaven Bamboo Region.
"Who is this Fellow Cultivator?" A deep voice filled with solemnness entered Tang Yin’s mind.
Tang Yin had expected this. He knew that the sole Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator in the Heavenly Bamboo Region would notice his divine sense once he spread it out.
When he was in the underground cave, he had kept it bottled up. But now, he had let it spread for as far as it could.
"Who I am is none of your concern. Just know that I will not harm the Heavenly Bamboo Region as long as nobody provokes me. I am here to train and will be heading to the Dark Green Bamboo Grove." Tang Yin responded with his divine sense.
The deep voice remained silent for a few seconds before responding, "I hope Fellow Cultivator can stay true to your words. I will order everyone to leave the Dark Green Bamboo Grove in the meanwhile."
