Free Web NovelChapter 317: Abyssal Armour
Tang Yin coldly looked on as Rou Wei left. Once he was certain that Rou Wei had left, he exited the Abyss Firmament. Things were not over yet.
The clash between him and the Divine Retribution Lightning had practically turned this specific small Region into a wasteland. Such a thing definitely wouldn’t go unnoticed.
After all, there were only 999 Regions in the Bright Yang Continent. The loss of even a single one was a huge loss for the True Martial World.
This was also why battles between Law Domain Realm cultivators were restricted to a certain degree.
The destruction brought about by the casual battle of 2 Law Domain Realm cultivators was enough to destroy entire Regions. As a result, the 10 Sovereigns had come together and unanimously agreed to put a certain law in place.
Battles between Law Domain Realm cultivators were prohibited inside Regions. Law Domain Realm cultivators were only allowed to battle in a location that would not impact their surroundings.
An example of this would be somewhere very high up in the sky, or somewhere in the Boundless Sea surrounding the Bright Yang Continent.
Although Tang Yin’s brief clash with the Divine Retribution Lightning was not as devastating as a battle between true Law Domain Realm cultivators, the outcome was still very disastrous.
Tang Yin was sure that the surrounding Law Domain Realm cultivators would gather and try to find the ’perpetrators’ who had almost caused the destruction of an entire Region.
The Abyss Emperor Transformation had already worn off. However, Tang Yin’s speed was still quite quick. He even utilized the Phantom Steps to leave as quickly as possible.
...
A couple of hours later, a red light flashed at the centre of the wasteland of a Region. The red light turned into flames which condensed into the figure of a red-haired old man.
The red-haired old man’s expression was dark. Although he did not care about the Region, it would still trouble him. He would need to report this matter to the Rank 8 Organization he was under. Then he would need to perform some formalities and whatnot, it was such a hassle.
However, he remained hovering in the air for half an hour. It was as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
Another half an hour later, a blue and grey arc of light shot through the sky rapidly. They instantly arrived before the red-haired old man.
The blue and grey lights flashed for a moment before disappearing, a middle-aged man and an old man appeared from the blue and grey lights respectively.
"Qian Zhong, Ku Tai, what took so long?" The red-haired old man asked immediately.
The old man, Qian Zhong, laughed without care. "One of my affiliates knows what happened here. He came to inform me of the details. That’s why I arrived late. There’s no need to be so grumpy, Li Zun."
With a cold snort, the red-haired old man, Li Zun, turned to the middle-aged man, Ku Tai, for an explanation.
"Same reason. I was with Old Qian." Ku Tai said before remaining silent.
"Very well, let’s hear the reason then." Li Zun demanded.
Qian Zhong took a deep breath before speaking, "According to my affiliate, a cultivator named Feng Tian kidnapped his daughter and..." He narrated every single thing that had transpired between Tang Yin and Rou Wei. No details were missing.
"That is so idiotic. This Feng Tian obtained the Demonic Lightning’s Lightning Essence only to break his Divine Oath and perish to Divine Retribution. What was the point of this whole charade?" Li Zun spoke out loud.
"My affiliate does not know. He only knows that Feng Tian has died. He even searched the surrounding Regions but found no trace of Feng Tian or his remains." Qian Zhong shrugged.
"Whatever, I don’t really care since this Feng Tian is dead. What shall we do about the damage caused to the Serene Rainfall Region?" Li Zun asked.
"What else can we do except report to our Rank 8 Organizations? They will have to send someone to repair the Region." Qian Zhong shrugged once again.
"Tch, I wouldn’t want to be them. The amount of resources needed to repair a Region is astronomical, even for Rank 8 Organizations." Li Zun sneered. freёwebnovel.com
"Our job isn’t over yet. We need to make sure that this Feng Tian is actually dead. Otherwise, the Rank 8 Organizations behind us will demand an explanation." Qian Zhong shook his head with annoyance.
"I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we hire a Divinator and split the cost between us 3? After all, this is our responsibility as the closest Law Domain Realm cultivators to the Serene Rainfall Region." Ku Tai finally contributed to the conversion.
"A Divinator?" Li Zun and Qian Zhong asked simultaneously.
This was the first time any of them had ever encountered a situation like this. They could only come up with a plan according to their wits which had been honed over thousands of years.
A Divinator was another profession of cultivation. It was similar to Alchemists, Forgers, Formation Masters, Spirit Beast Tamers, etc.
A Divinator’s cultivation mainly revolved around prophecies, scrying, looking into someone’s past, reading one’s aura, etc. They possessed the supernatural ability to do things that normal cultivators were unable to do.
A Divinator’s services were also very expensive. Cultivators would usually only hire a Divinator in emergencies or as a last resort.
After some more discussion, the 3 Law Domain Realm cultivators came to an agreement.
They decided to go with the original plan of hiring a Divinator to see if Feng Tian was actually dead. As Law Domain Realm cultivators, they naturally possessed large amounts of wealth. Hiring a Divinator below the Law Domain Realm was not too expensive for them.
After taking a few last glances at the 10-kilometre large crater below them and the wasteland that used to be the Serene Rainfall Region, the 3 Law Domain Realm cultivators left.
...
Tang Yin had already crossed multiple Regions. He was on his way back to the Neutral Cultivation Alliance Branch.
He now possessed the Lightning Essences of Tribulation Lightning, Void Lightning, Soul Lightning, Holy Lightning, Demonic Lightning and Divine Retribution Lightning. He only needed 3 more Lightning Essences to create the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.
Since he was travelling at full speed, Tang Yin arrived back at the Neutral Cultivation Alliance by the next day.
He only had around a month remaining. If he counted the time required to travel to the Moonlit River Sect, he only had around 2 weeks remaining.
There was nothing that he needed to do in that time frame. As such, he decided to just go on some missions and obtain more contribution points. He would commission 3 missions for people to gather 3 more Lightning Essences for him. It would definitely be costly.
But before he did all of that, he hurriedly browsed the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit. Now that he was a Mid-stage Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator, he had unlocked the Abyssal Armour Martial Skill.
After reading through the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit, Tang Yin grinned with expectation. It was exactly as he had previously predicted!
The Abyssal Armour was basically an armour version of the Abyssal Sword.
It could Devour all types of energy to strengthen itself. As long as it was not instantly destroyed, it could use the energy it devoured from the attack to regenerate and reinforce itself.
Of course, Tang Yin could also strengthen the Abyssal Armour by injecting Abyss Qi into it.
Similar to all of the other Martial Skills he had received from the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit, the Abyssal Armour could grow alongside Tang Yin. The tier of its Martial Skill was also not mentioned, just like the rest.
Just as Tang Yin was basking in the feeling of obtaining the Abyssal Armour Martial Skill, his expression turned grave.
He quickly sent his divine sense into his body and towards his Soul Sea. He could see the Soul Sanctuary constantly flash with white light. It was under attack.
However, Tang Yin was not in a battle. He was currently not fighting any enemies.
’Divination... Those old coots must’ve wanted to know more about Feng Tian.’ Tang Yin did not forget his original purpose of erecting a Soul Sanctuary around his Soul Sea. It was to defend against divination.
’From the power of the cultivator performing divination, they shouldn’t be a Law Domain Realm cultivator. At most, they should be a Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.’ Tang Yin speculated. There was currently no danger to his Soul Sanctuary. At this rate, he wouldn’t even need to do anything and the cultivator performing divination on him would not be able to break past his Soul Sanctuary.
Nonetheless, Tang Yin still kept a fragment of his divine sense inside his Soul Sea to observe his Soul Sanctuary. After all, anything could happen.
Upon arriving back at the Neutral Cultivation Alliance Branch, he headed straight for the seventh floor as usual.
