Free Web NovelChapter 66: Soul Plunder
Tang Yin did not check if anyone was following him, he entered a shop and changed his appearance back to his normal one. Then he left the shop and returned to the inn.
Nie Jin would not be so stupid as to send someone to follow Tang Yin, this was blatantly provoking and offending him and could also cut off the chance of Tang Yin joining the Nie family.
Once Tang Yin returned to the inn, he went to sleep. The next morning, he got up and headed to the Demonic Beast Mountain. He was not going there to hunt Demonic Beasts but to advance to the 7th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm.
He brought Xiao Fei with him to guard him during the reconstruction process like the previous reconstructions. An hour later, Tang Yin was sitting down cross-legged in the same cave he had used for his previous reconstructions in the Outer Ring.
As usual, Xiao Fei stood at the entrance of the cave like a guard. Tang Yin channelled the remaining Abyss Qi within his Heaven Devouring Abyss throughout his body.
Tang Yin opened his eyes after a long session of meditation. "Xiao Fei, how long have I been in meditation for?" Tang Yin shouted, his voice reached the faraway Xiao Fei who stood at the entrance.
A long black arc shot through the cave and landed before Tang Yin. "Master, you’ve been in meditation for about 3 weeks." Xiao Fei responded, she scrutinized Tang Yin’s body to look for any changes.
"3 weeks... Alright, I will go through reconstruction right now, stay on high alert." Tang Yin thought for a moment, then he commanded Xiao Fei to remain vigilant.
Xiao Fei nodded, she turned into a black arc and returned to the entrance of the cave. Tang Yin absent-mindedly stared at the floor, he could faintly hear his father’s voice in his head. A determined look appeared on his face, he swiftly started his 6th reconstruction process.
Loud cracking noises reverberated throughout the cave, and a worried look appeared on Xiao Fei’s face.
Tang Yin had to withstand 7 minutes of reconstruction, with each reconstruction, the time would increase by a minute every time.
Tang Yin lasted through the first 4 minutes of the reconstruction process silently, during the 5th minute, his agonized roars and screams of pain resounded endlessly.
Tang Yin’s eyes turned bloodshot, he had to remain conscious. His willpower was an extremely valuable asset, without refining his willpower during the last few reconstruction processes, he would have collapsed by now.
Another minute passed, his roars slowly turned into screams and his screams only got louder and louder that they had leaked out of the cave by now. Xiao Fei’s heart had been polluted by worry, none of her prideful or happy emotions could be felt or seen, only worry remained.
The last-minute slowly ticked by, Tang Yin’s body had mostly reconstructed by now. His veins slowly surfaced on his skin, he looked like some scary monster everyone would avoid like the plague. This was especially so with the crazed expression on his face.
The reconstruction finally ended, the last second especially felt like an eternity for Tang Yin. As soon as the reconstruction was complete, he fell back and lay on the cave’s floor. He did not pass out, instead, there was a ruthless and bloodthirsty look on his face.
Tang Yin advanced to the 7th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm. This meant that the time for the extinction of the Shan family had also arrived. But for now, he had to test out his strength and make a few preparations. He also had to test out the new skill he would obtain from the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit, thinking about this, the ruthless bloodthirsty look faded to be replaced by an excited and eager look. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Anything he obtained from the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit was always heaven-defying and increased his strength and methods boundlessly.
Tang Yin sat back down cross-legged, he first calmed down. Then, he browsed through the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit in his head. He flipped to the 2nd layer of the Sanskrit and looked at the 2nd Martial Skill.
According to the Sanskrit, the skill he would receive once he reached the 7th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm was called Soul Plunder. Once he read the description, an indescribable feeling and immeasurable shock boomed in his head. He did not snap out of his stupor even after a good half an hour, he looked like a realistic scarecrow.
Soul Plunder had the ability to allow the user to search through the memories of their enemy. This ability could only be executed if the user’s hand made contact with the opposition’s skull. The ability would automatically come to a stop once the hand stopped making contact with the opposition’s skull or was deactivated by the user.
However, this was not the main ability of Soul Plunder, and also not the part that made Tang Yin so shocked. It was the 2nd and also last ability of Soul Plunder. The second ability was so heaven-defying, most people would not be able to believe such a thing existed.
The second ability of Soul Plunder allowed the user to absorb 1/10,000 of the remaining life force of any creature they used the ability on. The same requirements as the first ability applied. To use Soul Plunder, the hand must make contact with the opposition’s skull. This was clearly emphasized within the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit.
Absorbing life force was not as simple as it sounded. Absorbing vitality was absorbing the essence and being of a creature and it could strengthen the absorber’s constitution. This was the Devour ability of Tang Yin’s Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit. Absorbing life force sounded similar, but it was not, life force was referring to the lifespan of a creature.
Although absorbing 1/10,000 of the remaining life force of a creature did not sound like a lot, if it was used on millions or even billions of creatures, the lifespan gained would be akin to immortality.
It was also this ability of the Soul Plunder Martial Skill that sent Tang Yin into incomparable shock and a daze. He could not believe that such an ability could exist, nor that he would be able to wield it. If such a Martial Skill was leaked, it could send the whole Bright Yang Continent into frenzy, madness and war.
