But the Ethereal Slaughter Art wasn’t all that Tang Yin had at his disposal.
BANG
Tang Yin’s hair was suddenly overtaken by darkness from its original bloody crimson shade. His abyssal black eyes instead, turned crimson. It was as if his hair and eyes had exchanged colour. Abyss Emperor Transformation!
Whatever small amount of Devouring Principles wafted through the darkness rapidly changed course and surged towards Tang Yin in a spiral. However, in the Hectic Chasm Holy Land, Space Principles reigned dominant. All other Principles were almost non-existent except for Darkness Principles, Shadow Principles, Gravity Principles, Time Principles and Earth Principles.
Tang Yin had to wait for a couple of minutes for all of the surrounding Devouring Principles to gather. Usually, he would be able to finish the Abyss Emperor Transformation within a second.
However, this was only because of the average quantity of Devouring Principles lingering in the air.
In his current situation, the Devouring Principles in the air were extremely few and were not enough to augment the Abyss Emperor Transformation. Therefore, he had to summon Devouring Principles from a larger radius.
Luckily, Tang Yin was not battling an opponent, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to utilise the Abyss Emperor Transformation.
Usually, all locations contained every type of Principle. However, the quantity would greatly vary between each location. Even a place like the Hectic Chasm Holy Land contained all Principles, including Water Principles and Life Principles, however, the quantity was so few that most couldn’t even sense these Principles. freewebnovel.cσ๓
After enough Devouring Principles had been integrated into Tang Yin to activate the Abyss Emperor Transformation, the Abyss Emperor’s Crown manifested on his head. It was a metallic black crown with 3 crimson gems embedded at the forefront.
But Tang Yin was not done yet.
An opaque, black armour that was meticulously fashioned from lustrous, dusky metal incorporating jagged plates reminiscent of obsidian formed around his body. Elaborate, ever-changing runes adorned its surface, emitting an unsettling, rhythmic luminescence that added to its ominous presence.
The helmet boasted a menacing countenance with luminous eyes and pointed horns, while spikes and serrated edges embellished the gauntlets, greaves, and pauldrons. It was the fearsome Abyssal Armour!
Now, Tang Yin had 3 layers of protection that could assist him with withstanding the pressure of the surrounding Space Principles. The Abyss Emperor Transformation, Abyssal Armour and the Ethereal Slaughter Art.
Tang Yin could barely even feel the Space Principles pressuring his body. His strained body quickly recovered and relaxed.
Without delay, Tang Yin practically shot down deeper into the depths of the Depth Layer. 800 kilometres, 900 kilometres...
Only when Tang Yin reached the 995-kilometre mark of the Depth Layer did he come to a halt. Only 5 kilometres remained until he truly entered the Abyss Layer of the Hectic Chasm Holy Land.
Tang Yin could feel the weight of a mountain on his shoulders once again. But it wasn’t as intense as before, it was bearable. His divine sense hadn’t been improved or protected, so it was restricted to an even greater extent of only 300 kilometres.
There was also only a single person this deep in the Hectic Chasm Holy Land. From what Tang Yin had perceived, this person was a Peak-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
That cultivator had already sensed Tang Yin and was shocked. Nobody had ever reached this place except for himself and a few other people.
However, he felt an extremely dangerous sensation emanating from Tang Yin’s body and his cold eyes only emanated apathy. As such, the cultivator decided not to meet Tang Yin and continued with his cultivation.
Similarly, Tang Yin also ignored the Peak-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator. He was not here to socialise but to Devour Space Principles.
’Should I enter or not?’ Although Tang Yin’s goal was to enter the location with the densest quantity of Space Principles, he found his current location to be quite satisfactory.
Now, did he want to be greedy and push himself to enter the Abyss Layer for even more benefits? Of course, he wanted to enter the Abyss Layer!
Tang Yin was a Demonic Cultivator, he even considered himself as such. Without taking risks and facing danger, opportunities would be difficult to come across.
Although Tang Yin was not too confident in the Abyss Emperor Transformation, Abyssal Armour and the Ethereal Slaughter Art’s ability to withstand the pressure of the Space Principles in the Abyss Layer, he still decided to descend.
Besides, he had one more protection Martial Skill at his disposal.
WHOOSH
Golden and white specks of light spread out from Tang Yin’s body. However, these specks of light did not spread out any further. They stuck closely to his body and clung on for dear life. Starlight Veil!
The Starlight Veil that was supposed to spread out for a few kilometres was compressed by Tang Yin to only shroud his body. Now, he appeared as bright as the sun. Additionally, the power of the Starlight Veil was focused completely on his body. Its ability was enhanced several fold all in one place.
Since the Starlight Veil was a soul-type Martial Skill, Tang Yin felt a small burden lift off his divine sense. It was able to return to its previous size and range of 400 kilometres, but that was it. The other 900-kilometre range of his divine sense was still suppressed by the Space Principles.
Lastly, the Starlight Veil also somewhat helped to alleviate the pressure of the Space Principles on his body. Now, he only felt the weight of several dozen boulders weighing down on him.
With renewed determination, Tang Yin descended under the incredulous and shocked gaze of the Peak-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
1 kilometre, 2 kilometres, 3 kilometres, 4 kilometres, 5 kilometres...
BANG
As soon as Tang Yin stepped past the 1000-kilometre mark which insinuated the end of the Depth Layer and the beginning of the Abyss Layer, a monstrous pressure descended onto Tang Yin.
The feeling of nearly having his body torn apart infused itself into Tang Yin despite being under the protection of 3 Martial Skills and a Divine Spirit Skill.
The pressure in the Abyss Layer was so intense that Tang Yin knew that he wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.
The density of the Space Principles in the Abyss Layer was double the quantity compared to the Space Principles in the Depth Layer. If Tang Yin continued to descend further, the density would only increase. Obviously, Tang Yin knew that descending even further was suicidal.
His divine sense had once again been suppressed to only 150 kilometres of range and size. If not for the Starlight Veil, it would probably have been suppressed even further to only 80 kilometres.
From what he had seen so far, there were no other living beings in the vicinity. This meant that no other cultivators were currently in the Abyss Layer of the Hectic Chasm Holy Land except for himself.
Without any hesitation, Tang Yin sat down in the middle of the darkness in the lotus position.
’Heaven Devouring Abyss, please don’t disappoint me.’ Tang Yin activated the innate ability of the Heaven Devouring Abyss, Devour!
BANG
The surrounding Space Principles that were constantly colliding and pressuring Tang Yin were devoured by the Heaven Devouring Abyss. Tang Yin felt the pressure of the Space Principles disappear, only to reappear a fraction of a second later with similar intensity.
’As soon as I Devour some Space Principles, they are immediately replaced by the other surrounding Space Principles.’ Tang Yin deduced.
The speed of each devourment of Space Principles required a second. However, the replacement time of the Space Principles was barely even a fraction of a second.
Therefore, even though the pressure of the Space Principles was alleviated every time he devoured Space Principles, it only lasted for such a small time that Tang Yin could barely even notice the disappearance and quick reappearance of the pressure.
Tang Yin had no choice but to split his divine sense and send some into the Abyss Firmament. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to control the devoured or ’relocated’ Space Principles to expand the space of the Abyss Firmament.
His divine sense’s range was further reduced to only 100 kilometres.
The continuous stream of Space Principles that entered the Abyss Firmament left Tang Yin’s divine sense mentally pressured. His divine sense would need to quickly use these Space Principles to expand the Abyss Firmament’s space. Otherwise, if left unoccupied, the Space Principles could turn the current Abyss Firmament into something similar to the Hectic Chasm Holy Land.
As the Space Principles in the Abyss Firmament churned, Tang Yin controlled the Abyss Firmament’s will to guide the Space Principles to the edges of the world.
Like this, the Space Principles seamlessly incorporated themselves into the Abyss Firmament’s world, rapidly enlarging it in the process.
From its original 10-kilometre large space, the Abyss Firmament expanded to 30 kilometres from just the first few devoured portions of Space Principles by the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
