Chapter 393 - Opening up Space and Expanding Psionic Power
Chapter 393: Opening up Space and Expanding Psionic Power
After picking up the crystal spear, Vincent was not in a hurry to leave the underground abyss. Instead, he strolled through the empty space and followed the underground river that flowed endlessly. He carefully observed the scene of the river formed by the Origin Divine Earth. It was flowing continuously against the rock layers.
Vincent realized that he had already risen to level 40 when he achieved enlightenment. The psionic power in his body was constantly flowing. It seemed to have the same effect as the surrounding river.
However, as Vincent was busy comprehending the eight forms of Heaven’s Will previously, he was not in the mood to understand the new enlightenment thoroughly.
Vincent had finally stabilized his realm. He had also grasped the fourth form of the eight forms of Heaven’s Will. Therefore, it was time for him to take the opportunity to understand the lost enlightenment.
Even though the underground river had become dry and weak after years of plundering, its momentum had never stopped. It even seemed to be flowing endlessly.
At that moment, what Vincent wanted to improve the most was the speed at which the psionic power in his body was recovering.
As long as the psionic power in his body could recover quickly after it was exhausted, or if he could maintain his peak condition for a short period of time even with little psionic power, then it would be an extraordinary help to Vincent.
That was because there was still a soul in his body that had the strength of a level 75 creature, the former leader of the Vampire Race, Justin!
It was just that Vincent was unable to summon Justin due to the limitations of his psionic power. If Justin was allowed to move freely, Vincent’s soul would disappear like flowing water. Not a single drop would be left behind in the blink of an eye. He would be no different from an ordinary mortal.
Therefore, no matter what difficulties Vincent encountered, he had never thought of letting Justin out. This was because once his psionic power was exhausted, what was awaiting him would be an even more terrifying danger.
After walking for some distance in pursuit of the underground river, Vincent seemed to have received some revelation. This hundred-circle dark river track was similar to the meridians in the human body that stored psionic power. The Origin Divine Earth was flowing rapidly in the river. Psionic power was also the same whereby it flowed endlessly in one’s body!
But at this moment, Vincent still had one more question. Psionic power would always run out. After more than ten years of mining, how could the Origin Divine Earth still continue to flow?
Vincent felt that as long as he understood this point, he would be able to break through the final hurdle and complete his understanding!
Vincent noticed that the underground river channel before him had suddenly narrowed. Moreover, there seemed to be a strange light within the surging Origin Divine Earth.
He immediately walked forward and carefully observed the river. He discovered that on the riverbed at the end of the narrow river, there stood a stone egg that was half the height of an ordinary person. The stone egg was shining with starlight, and it seemed to be constantly overflowing with the Origin Divine Earth.
“Could it be that the Origin Divine Earth was actually from this stone egg? Moreover, the end of the narrow river that contained the Origin Divine Earth is actually under Devil Flame City,” sighed Vincent in surprise.
He could not believe the coincidence. He had come to Devil Flame City and was invited into Hell’s Rose by Dave. In Hell’s Rose, he had obtained the Art of Heaven’s Will and was able to communicate with heaven and earth. After that, he discovered the anomaly at the bottom of the abyss. After diving into the bottom of the abyss, he discovered the ultimate mystery of the Origin Divine Earth!
Vincent could not believe his luck. He had barged into the Dark Elves main city and obtained the secret of the entire Dark Elves Race. Everything seemed to have gone too smoothly!
After hesitating for a while, Vincent felt that the stone egg on the riverbed must still have a secret that he had not yet discovered. As he still lacked understanding, he could only enter the river and carefully examine the stone egg. Only then could he confirm his guess and understanding.
After making up his mind, Vincent put the crystal spear into his storage ring. He then took a deep breath and jumped into the underground river.
When he entered the river that contained the Origin Divine Earth, Vincent, who had already turned into a fire spirit, once again felt a bone-piercing cold. The flames all over his body were suppressed to the point where they were about to be extinguished.
This was the first time Vincent had encountered a situation where the Flaming Sun Divine Body’s temperature was firmly restrained. However, he could no longer care about that. He endured the bone-chilling cold and swam desperately toward the bottom of the riverbed.
When Vincent approached the riverbed, the biting cold had completely penetrated his body. The Origin Divine Earth, which was like ice, flowed freely throughout his entire body. It even penetrated him from the inside out!
Vincent felt a chill enter his body. The chill became one with his skin and bones. He, who had been cultivating the Flaming Sun Divine Body, did not know if this completely opposite attribute entering his body was good or bad. He could clearly feel that his Flaming Sun Divine Body had a faint impulse to explode. It was as if it wanted to completely expel this chill from his body.
However, Vincent was currently in the Origin Divine Earth. If his Flaming Sun Divine Body erupted, it would inevitably cause the fire energy to collide with the surrounding chill. At that time, the injuries that Vincent would suffer would definitely be unbearable.
However, if he were to directly turn around and return to shore, Vincent would feel indignant. He was brimming with a fighting spirit at that moment. He was not fearful of any dangers or difficulties. Without any hesitation, he chose to continue diving into the riverbed. Finally, he successfully touched the stone egg that stood on the riverbed.
As soon as he touched it, Vincent discovered that the stone egg was not as hard as he imagined it to be. Instead, it was like jelly. It seemed to have a life of its own and was constantly trembling in response to his touch.
At the same time, Vincent could clearly feel a large amount of Origin Divine Earth gushing out of the stone egg. This proved that the stone egg was indeed the source of the Origin Divine Earth!
Vincent suddenly had a new idea. If he took the stone egg and placed it somewhere else, would he not be able to protect the Elf Race’s Origin Divine Earth from being stolen by other traitors like Andre?
After having this idea, Vincent began to lift the egg. However, he soon discovered that the bottom of the stone egg was rooted tightly to the ground. It was not something that could be pulled out from the ground using human strength.
In other words, the true source of the Origin Divine Earth was actually buried deeper underground, and part of it that was exposed outside the surface was the stone egg before him. Perhaps there was more than one stone egg under the vast elf land. There was also probably more than one source of the Origin Divine Earth.
At that moment, Vincent finally understood everything. The reason why the Origin Divine Earth could still flow incessantly despite being consumed maliciously was that the Origin Divine Earth had another source that was providing it with infinite vitality.
Vincent suddenly understood the barrier that he had yet to breakthrough. Psionic power filled his body, just like how the Origin Divine Earth filled the underground river. However, other than the speed at which the cultivator absorbed psionic power, there was no other way for one to replenish psionic power.
If he could open up a space in his body to store the excess psionic power that he had cultivated, even if his entire body was exhausted in battle, he could still have a channel to replenish it. He could even provide himself with an endless stream of psionic power! It would be endless and never-ending. He could even exhaust creatures of a higher level than himself!
At the thought of this, Vincent’s mind instantly became clear. Having already grasped the authority to modify and the tunnel token, he was no stranger to creating space. He decided to change his mind to observe the flow of psionic power in his body. He soon discovered that all psionic power had to be gathered three inches below his lower abdomen. If he could create a space there, he would be able to freely store and release psionic power. This would increase his efficiency!
With that thought in mind, Vincent began to use the modification authority to create a space in his lower abdomen. However, a space like that was not normal. One could not freely enter and exit it like an ordinary space door. It had to exist permanently like the space tunnel constructed by the Lingluo Race and be attached to his body. His proficiency level of modifying authority had to be extremely high.
After several attempts, Vincent finally had an epiphany and successfully created a space that was the size of his palm. However, he had already reached his limit. If he wanted to continue expanding it, he had to cultivate modification authority to a more profound level, or he could find others who knew modification authority to help him do it.
However, he was opening a space inside his body. If he borrowed the power of others, the slightest carelessness would cause him to fall into a place of eternal damnation. Therefore, he could only give up resentfully.
Just as Vincent was about to turn around and swim to shore, he suddenly felt a chill in his body. It began to surge rapidly into the space in his lower abdomen and expanded it.
At the same time, an endless amount of Origin Divine Earth began to fuse into Vincent’s body. It soon entered his lower abdomen. In the end, they all became nutrients to help expand the space.
After discovering the abnormality in his body, Vincent felt a little surprised. He then came to a sudden realization and sighed in his heart, “Andre once said that the Origin Divine Earth is one of the energy sources to create a world. If I have enough Origin Divine Earth, it would not be difficult to create a new world within the Black Hole World. This means that the attribute of the Origin Divine Earth is to bear the power of the world, and it just so happens to be able to help me open up a small space in my body!”
When Vincent came back to his senses, he realized that the space in his body had stopped expanding. It seemed to have reached the limit that the Origin Divine Earth could expand, and the size of the space could already store ten times the psionic power that Vincent possessed!
At the same time, Vincent also realized that the size of the space was not limited because of the Origin Divine Earth, but rather it was because of him. This was all that he could control at his current level. When his strength increased again in the future, the space that stored psionic power in his body would certainly expand again. He can then maintain the capacity of his own body by about ten times!
A large amount of Origin Divine Earth surged into his body. The chill accumulated in his limbs and bones had also reached a terrifying degree. If he did not use all the fire attribute energy of the Flaming Sun Divine Body as soon as possible, his limbs would completely freeze!
Furthermore, under the circumstances where he was unable to move, he would only die in this underground river!
After sensing the danger to his life, Vincent began to swim up the shore with all his might. However, after swimming for a short while, his right hand had completely lost consciousness and was no longer able to provide him with the power to move forward.
Following that, Vincent’s legs also began to stiffen, and his entire body began to slowly sink toward the bottom of the river. At that moment, the only parts that Vincent could still move were his brain and his Hand of God.
In a moment of desperation, Vincent suddenly had a thought. He instantly transformed his Hand of God into a long rope. His palm and five fingers turned into hard hook claws and shot rapidly toward the shore, tightly grabbing onto a crack in a random stone.
Vincent executed the whole process perfectly. After that, he began to pull himself up to shore.
After leaving the underground river, Vincent mustered all the strength in his body and rolled into an empty space.
“Flaming Sun Divine Body!”
Vincent did not have much time to catch his breath. He entered the fire spiritualization state and began to dispel the chill that was about to freeze his entire body.
Soon, wisps of flames rose from Vincent’s body and his entire body turned into a semi-transparent flame. The chill that gathered in his body turned into wisps of white smoke and spiraled into the air.
When he could feel his limbs again, he was surprised to find out that the Flaming Sun Divine Body had improved while resisting the coldness in his body!
Vincent exclaimed with a face full of surprise, “It seems that not only fire-type energy can strengthen the Flaming Sun Divine Body! Its level can also be increased and strengthened when fighting against cold energy of the same level or higher!”
He then seized the opportunity and began to work hard to dispel the coldness in his body. At the same time, he could feel that his Flaming Sun Divine Body had improved again.
After Justin shattered the fourth layer of Vincent’s Flaming Sun Divine Body, Vincent had relied on the fire attribute materials he had obtained from Jacob to restore his Flaming Sun Divine Body to the second layer.
With the help of the Origin Divine Earth, Vincent’s Flaming Sun Divine Body was upgraded to the fourth layer once again!
“Boom!”
The underground space suddenly sparkled with flames. Vincent’s perfect fire spirit slowly stood up in the flames. He lowered his head and looked down at the surging Origin Divine Earth in the underground river. He realized that the Origin Divine Earth seemed to have reduced. He must have used up quite a lot of Origin Divine Earth when he opened up the space in his body.
While shouting out his sins, Vincent collected his emotions and turned his head to look at the top of the endless abyss.
Vincent sighed softly, “It’s time to go back!”
…
On the surface, in the alley behind the main street of Devil Flame City, a large number of soldiers were gathered outside the courtyard at the entrance of Hell’s Rose. They were waiting for the return of the City Lord. Unexpectedly, what they waited for was a violent tremor.
The courtyard in front of them actually sank into the ground, leaving only a big pit filled with the remains of the ruined courtyard.
“What’s going on? What happened?”
“The City Lord is still down there! Could it be that Hell’s Rose has collapsed?”
“Impossible! Hell’s Rose has been operating for hundreds of years, and there are countless arrays in it. How could it collapse?”
The few managers and soldiers guarding Hell’s Rose could not help but shout in shock.
However, the scene in front of them was already evident. Even if they did not believe that Hell’s Rose could collapse, there was nothing they could do at that moment.
At the same time, the auctioneer who was in charge of the ninth floor of Hell’s Rose was standing at the outermost perimeter. He saw Hell’s Rose collapsing right in front of him. At first, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. He then calmly lowered his head and turned around to leave the alley, he disappeared behind everyone.
In the entire region of Hell’s Rose, only the auctioneer could guess why Hell’s Rose had collapsed. This was because he was the only one who truly knew the identity of the boss and the hatred between the boss and the City Lord, Andre.
Hell’s Rose, which had the support of countless arrays, would not collapse for no reason. The boss must have activated the self-destruct mechanism!
At that moment, whether Myron and Andre were dead or alive was no longer important to the auctioneer. He only wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape and disappear from the scene. He did not want to bear the crime of plotting a rebellion!
Just as the soldiers were discussing whether they should excavate the ruins of Hell’s Rose, a piece of soil at the bottom of the collapsed pit suddenly began to loosen. Following that, a thick black gas broke out from the soil and shot into the sky.
All the soldiers raised their weapons at the same time and looked at the dark aura in the sky. They asked in a loud and alert voice, “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Your City Lord, Andre!”
A gloomy voice came from the sky. The black gas soon dispersed and revealed a demon who was over two meters tall. He had a demon horn on his head and demon wings on his back!
All the soldiers could not help but be stunned, because they could not believe that the demon in front of them was their City Lord
“This, this is impossible! The City Lord is a Dark Elf, how is it possible…”
A soldier sighed in disbelief, but he did not dare to say anything, because to him, City Lord Andre was naturally worthy of respect, but at the same time, any demon should also be respected. After all, his faith was in the king of the Demon Race, Gajero!
At this time, Andre, who had already transformed into a demon, spread the wings on his back and slowly landed on the ground. He looked at the soldiers under him, smiled, and said, “No need to be surprised, everyone. I have completed the mission that God Gajero arranged for me, so I received the reward of being able to advance to a demon. I have gotten rid of the shackles of the weak bloodline of the Dark Elves, and successfully advanced to become an even more powerful creature! From now on, I will make Devil Flame City rise up in the world of the Dark Elves just like me!”
In fact, ever since Andre became the City Lord of Devil Flame City twenty years ago, he had never thought of doing anything for Devil Flame City. He just wanted to use his position as the City Lord to complete the mission assigned by Gajero and curry favor with that powerful demon king!
This speech was just to stabilize the morale of the army so that Devil Flame City could continue to maintain peace and stability!
After all, the array to collect the Origin Divine Earth had been destroyed. Plus, the entire Hell’s Rose had also collapsed. Therefore, it was temporarily impossible to collect the Origin Divine Earth at this time. Andre had to find a new way to continue collecting the Origin Divine Earth. Only until the entire Elf World was destroyed could he be considered to have completed the mission set out by Gajero.
If he did not produce enough Origin Divine Earth as promised, not only would his title of the twelve apostles be deposed, he would also receive the most severe punishment from Gajero. Although he had become a complete demon, in the eyes of Gajero and the true demons who were guarding the Imperial City, he was just a tool that could be abandoned at any time!
Andre’s gaze became deep. He was able to live for so long precisely because of this!
