Free Web NovelChapter 328: Devouring Space Principles and Expanding Abyss Firmament
Tang Yin gritted his teeth as the continuous waves of pressure from the Space Principles assaulted his being. The small interval of space from each devourment allowed him some space to breathe, but not by much.
Inside the Abyss Firmament, Tang Yin’s divine sense quickly and efficiently redirected the devoured Space Principles to the edges of the Abyss Firmament by utilizing the Abyss Firmament’s will.
The Abyss Firmament’s size continued to grow. From 30 kilometres to 40, from 40 kilometres to 50...
Within a few minutes, the Abyss Firmament’s size had been enlarged to 50 kilometres.
Tang Yin had somewhat become accustomed to the Space Principles’ pressure since it did not increase or decrease in volume. Like this, Tang Yin had an easier time withstanding the pressure and familiarising himself with it.
Tang Yin originally planned to employ the Space Principle Attraction Flag Set to increase the rate of attraction to Space Principles. However, doing that in his current situation would be akin to suicide.
Tang Yin already had some difficulty in resisting the pressure at the periphery of the Abyss Layer. If he set up the Space Principle Attraction Flag Set, the pressure and density of the Space Principles would increase, resulting in his body and soul being ripped to shreds. There was no debate, he would absolutely die.
As such, Tang Yin refrained from utilizing the Space Principle Attraction Flag Set for now.
1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes...
Half an hour had passed since Tang Yin entered the Abyss Layer.
The amount of Space Principles he had devoured had reached an absurd level. By now, the Abyss Firmament had expanded to 120 kilometres.
It was just as Tang Yin had foreseen. Only integrating Space Principles into the Abyss Firmament had turned the world into a void with a 10-kilometre large platform floating at its centre.
Since Tang Yin had to expand the Abyss Firmament from all angles, the expansion of the Abyss Firmament became slower as it enlarged. With each expansion, Tang Yin had even more volume to expand than before, which required a larger amount of Space Principles.
At first, the Abyss Firmament was able to expand to 50 kilometres within a few minutes. Then, the Abyss Firmament was able to expand to 120 kilometres in half an hour. At this rate, it would take quite some for the Abyss Firmament to reach a size large enough to accommodate numerous Rank 8 Demonic Beasts.
However, Tang Yin had no way around this. He was already at the Abyss Layer of the Hectic Chasm Holy Land - a place where very few people were able to descend.
The only other way to increase the devourment of Space Principles was to either descend even further into the Abyss Layer or utilize the Space Principle Attraction Flag Set.
However, both solutions were suicide. They both increased the density and population of the surrounding Space Principles which in turn increased the overall pressure exuded by the Space Principles.
Tang Yin’s current location was already in a place where his being was at its limit. He had used his powerful body and even the vast array of methods at his disposal to resist the pressure, he could not afford to increase the burden on his shoulders anymore.
Besides, according to Qian Zhong, he had around a decade to cultivate in the Hectic Chasm Holy Land. This was enough time to increase the Abyss Firmament’s size by a rather sizeable chunk.
Tang Yin was not in a hurry. He had plenty of lifespan left. Furthermore, he had a longer lifespan compared to an average Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator.
Usually, a Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator had a lifespan of somewhere between 10,000 to 30,000 years.
However, since Tang Yin had utilized Soul Plunder on almost every living being he had killed, his lifespan was longer than an average Principle Comprehension Realm cultivator.
According to Tang Yin’s estimations, his lifespan was around 40,000 years. He was not even 35 years old, yet, he still had 40,000 years of life remaining!
Tang Yin also had the patience and endurance to withstand the pressure of the Space Principles for a decade whilst cultivating diligently.
As such, Tang Yin completely focused on devouring Space Principles without end. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
80 kilometres of his divine sense was allocated to the Abyss Firmament, 20 kilometres of his divine sense was concentrated solely on his body, whilst the remaining 50 kilometres were focused on his surroundings. freeweɓnovel.cøm
This was an extremely dangerous method of allocation. Only allocating 20 kilometres worth of divine sense to his body was essentially just asking for something to go wrong.
Every Space Principle particle exuded pressure. Even though the individual pressure exuded by a single Space Principle particle was minuscule, as the quantity became greater, the pressure would increase accordingly.
Once Space Principles entered one’s body, a certain internal pressure would be created within the body. If the pressure was too powerful, one’s body would burst apart.
Even if one could handle the pressure, one would need to constantly monitor the Space Principles inside their body and keep an eye on them. Space Principles were unpredictable, anything could happen.
Due to the pressure of the Space Principles, trying to monitor them with one’s divine sense was difficult as the pressure pushed away and compressed one’s divine sense.
As such, one would usually need to utilize most, if not all of their divine sense to monitor and keep track of the Space Principles inside their body.
This was also why most of the Principle Comprehension Realm cultivators in the Subterranean Layer didn’t pay attention to their surroundings. Their divine senses and attention were too busy keeping track of the Space Principles inside their bodies.
However, this problem which would restrict all other cultivators did not apply to Tang Yin.
His powerful Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm body alone could handle the pressure of the Space Principles whether they were inside or outside his body.
However, what truly made Tang Yin’s body internally unaffected by the Space Principles was the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
As soon as any Space Principle particle touched his body, it would immediately be devoured by the Heaven Devouring Abyss. The Space Principles wouldn’t even have a chance to enter his body.
Even the slightest contact between the Space Principles and Tang Yin’s body would result in the Space Principles being devoured by the Heaven Devouring Abyss.
Due to this, Tang Yin did not even need to keep an ounce of his divine sense inside his body to monitor the Space Principles. He could instead use it to keep track of his surroundings or send it to help out with the expansion of the Abyss Firmament.
However, Tang Yin did not want to take any chances. Although the chances of something going awry with his body, the Heaven Devouring Abyss and the surrounding Space Principles was abysmal, anything could happen in life.
Tang Yin did not want to take any unnecessary risks.
As time continued to pass, a few days flew by.
Tang Yin had been cultivating industriously. He devoured Space Principles without stopping.
By now, he had mostly become accustomed to the pressure of the Space Principles. Although there was still a large burden on his shoulders as well as a splitting sensation coursing through his body, Tang Yin was able to adapt to this pain. It only affected him minimally.
Of course, Tang Yin was not delusional enough to descend even further into the Abyss Layer due to his newfound ’comfort’.
The pressure and damage to his body were still the same. However, since Tang Yin had been faced with the same constant pain for a few days without end, he had mentally become used to it.
The Abyss Firmament had expanded to 400 kilometres in size. Its progress was slowing down.
Tang Yin estimated that once he reached the 1,000-kilometre mark, the Abyss Firmament’s expansion would reach a snail’s pace.
But for now, the Abyss Firmament was growing steadily.
The Abyss Firmament’s appearance was still the same. It was a large void with a 10-kilometre large platform at its centre. The only difference was that the void had become larger.
Tang Yin also checked up on Xiao Fei’s condition when he had a moment to catch his breath.
She was still evolving. However, she was showing some minor signs of awakening.
It had been over half a year since Xiao Fei had entered a slumber to evolve.
Tang Yin expected that she would continue to evolve for a few more months before awakening.
Luckily, she did not have to go through any Disasters for her next 3 evolutions.
’Xiao Fei can awaken inside the Abyss Firmament due to its size. It should be able to accommodate her awakening. This way, I don’t need to leave the Hectic Chasm Holy Land.’ Tang Yin had been feeling a bit destitute without Xiao Fei’s company, he wanted her to awaken as quickly as possible.
But for now, Tang Yin had to focus on devouring Space Principles. There was still quite a bit of time left till Xiao Fei’s awakening.
