Chapter 168 The Road is Difficult, Void Erosion
The power of heaven and earth was added to Ye Yang's battle armor phantom, and at the same time, a trace of void power descended.
This trace of void power greatly increased the power of the battle armor phantom!
"Not bad! It's just that the mental strain is a bit too great here, because there's some conflict in the operation of the descending void power. It should be changed like this..."
Ye Yang smiled, then noticed something amiss and tried to make changes.
boom!
puff-
The phantom of his battle armor shattered suddenly, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His eyes, however, were incredibly focused: "That wasn't right just now. Modifying a malfunctioning node caused even more errors. It should be done like this."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On this open ground, Ye Yang sometimes had afterimages explode on his body, and sometimes he would throw punches, stomp his feet, and make various other movements.
After a long while, he nodded with satisfaction: "The mental burden of maintaining 'stillness' has been reduced by half, and the power has increased by half a percent. Not bad."
According to our grandmaster, the current mainstream methods for exploring the Dao of the Great Void are cultivating the spirit and refining qi.
Although body tempering has advantages in the Tai Su Dao, it is difficult to explore in the Tai Xu Dao.
Therefore, in the Taixu Martial Arts, Ye Yang can be considered a path-ascending cultivator within the Immortal Alliance.
The only thing he can do now is to transplant the various spatial secret techniques of devouring the world.
"What exactly is the Great Void—the void?"
During a break, Ye Yang looked up at the sky.
The sky is an endless starry sky, but now the planets are not facing the Milky Way disk, but beyond it.
Beyond the Milky Way's disk, stars are scarce, only an endless void—the vast emptiness of the universe!
Human beings, so insignificant as they are, can only feel terror and be unable to comprehend this void, this endless abyss of darkness.
Ye Yang felt the terror and immediately retreated, pressing himself against the planet's surface, as if this would distance him from the abyss.
He was afraid that the darkness in the night sky would suck him in.
Lying on the ground for a long time, Ye Yang finally came to his senses and gave a bitter laugh: "A higher degree of compatibility with the void isn't all a good thing. The closer you get to the void, the less you can understand it and the more fear you feel."
The primordial chaos city of the universe—one year passed, two years passed, three years passed—
In the 13th year since 1000 geniuses came to Chaos City, Ye Yang comprehended the 10th spatial mystery.
The 10th method took him three and a half years in Chaos City, which is equivalent to 11.5 years in the primordial universe.
The 11th type of spatial mystery: 3 years in Chaos City, 10 years in the Primordial Universe.
The 12th type, Chaos City, 2 years and 10 months.
The 13th type, 2 years and 9 months.
The 14th type, 2 years and 10 months.
Ye Yang's research efficiency has reached its limit and will not increase further.
In the 24th year and 3 months of Chaos City, Ye Yang finally comprehended the 14th spatial essence!
"As expected, the first 9 types are the easiest, the middle 27 types are relatively difficult, and the last 72 types are the most difficult."
「混沌城30年已经过去了五分之四，我第一个10年悟透9种空间本质，第二个10年却仅悟透了3
kind."
"I have an avatar in the primordial universe. While other geniuses can only cultivate for 30 years in the initial universe, I essentially have two avatars that can cultivate for 100 years in the initial universe!"
"Even so, progress is slowing down even more."
Ye Yang knew that Luo Feng was able to comprehend the essence of space so quickly, and that his comprehension speed was not slowed down by the difficulty of the ascension, largely because of the opportunities in the Blood Luo World.
Fusion with Blood Crystals enhances compatibility with the cosmic origin; observing the phantom at the bottom of the pit helps in learning the Sky-Tearing Claw technique; and studying the Beast God statue aids in comprehending and analyzing the essence of space.
A series of fortuitous events allowed Luo Feng to completely surpass Bo Lan.
Having already learned all of this in advance, is Ye Yang going to completely replicate these opportunities?
"No, my path is different from Luo Feng's. From the moment he possessed the Golden Horned Beast, he was destined to embark on the path of fusion with the Golden Void."
"I only used the first Golden Horned Beast clone as a supplement to the combat force, and through the Blood Crystal and the future 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual', I made the two Golden Horned Beast clones quickly form a powerful combat force."
"My true talent lies in human form. My true path, my unique advantage, lies in the void, in the fusion of spacetime!"
"It's impossible to turn around and study the Way of Gold and Void now, just to imitate it blindly and lose our own advantages."
He first comprehended the laws of time and space by devouring the world, then comprehended the laws of void in the Immortal Alliance world, and finally returned to the Devouring World to merge time and space.
Both sides of the world can promote each other's development.
This is Ye Yang's biggest advantage right now.
"My master said that the Enlightenment Project will allow my Void talent to develop to its fullest potential. Hope lies there; the Enlightenment Project has two more years to go!"
Ye Yang has been receiving special training from the Daoist lineage for over six years, and he recently completed the second level of the "Extreme Power War God Body"!
He was preparing to upgrade his body tempering cultivation from the third-level 'Heavenly Bridge' to the fourth-level 'Divine Treasure'.
Although there wasn't enough time to cultivate the third level of the "Extreme Power War God Body," the combined increase of physical strength by 18 times from the two levels was still quite considerable.
Moreover, in recent years, Ye Yang has applied the principles and mysteries of the "Nine Stars Alignment" to the laws of the void, greatly improving his strength.
Even the powerful True Lord commented, "The Enlightenment Plan is almost a sure thing."
Therefore, Ye Yang was very much looking forward to what kind of training he would receive after entering the "Enlightenment Project".
Although the Immortal Alliance has invaded countless dungeon worlds, in terms of territory, it is certainly no match for the human races that have devoured the world.
It might be equivalent to a cosmic nation.
However, the Immortal Alliance invaded the heavens and used the differences in the laws between worlds to mutate the laws of objects, creating countless wonderful and heaven-defying things.
There are also many other incredibly powerful and precious treasures in other worlds, like the 'Blood Crystal' in Ye Yang's instance world.
It's not impossible for it to happen.
In short, the myriad realms are full of wonders, and the "Enlightenment Project," which gathers the elite of the entire Immortal Alliance's younger generation, will surely obtain the most outstanding resources at its level.
"I have grasped the profound mystery of the 14th type of spatial essence, and I can return to the Immortal Alliance to further improve myself."
Ye Yang's consciousness returned to his true form within the Immortal Alliance.
As usual, I re-examined the spatial secrets I had transplanted and improved from the perspective of the newly understood essence of space, and reinterpreted them in the form of the laws of emptiness. It was another day of cultivation until late at night.
"It's been six years. For these six years, I've been living with my mother in my master's manor, cultivating. Because the Chaos City in the dungeon world is also a place of cultivation, time feels exceptionally long and peaceful, as if it could last forever—but this peace is only temporary."
"The threat of the void is ever-present; it may descend at any moment. We must not forget it."
Ye Yang looked up at the night sky, but the stars were still sparse, and he couldn't see many stars.
The location of the Jili Daomai is indeed relatively close to the upper edge of the silver disk, and there are relatively few stars around it.
Suddenly, Ye Yang was taken aback.
He listened intently to the voice of time and space, and suddenly heard a series of low, calling-like murmurs.
"What is she saying?"
Ye Yang couldn't help but try his best to listen.
Unbeknownst to him, a strange aura gradually rose up. Ye Yang looked at the deep darkness and began to feel that it was not mysterious and had become less scary and terrifying.
It seems—she is actually very beautiful; if you just lift that veil, you can see all her secrets—
Six light-years away, three tiny figures floated in the endless void.
"It's been 6 years."
"Heh heh, the first ray of 'starlight' should have reached the Holy Son's eyes by now, shouldn't it?"
"I hope everything goes well."
The three men in black robes said a few words and then fell silent.
The planet's surface!
Buzz!
The inherited magic artifact of the "Tai Xu Refining Spirit Method" on Ye Yang's body suddenly vibrated, startling him awake.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yang stared blankly at the red characters that had suddenly appeared on the inherited artifact:
Void Erosion: 0.0012%
"If your condition exceeds 0.21%, please immediately seek treatment at the Taixu Refining Divine Vein! If it exceeds 2.4%, you will be considered a Void Believer and hunted down by the entire Immortal Alliance!"
Ye Yang's expression immediately froze. How could this be?
He has been corrupted by the Void, and if the level exceeds a certain threshold, he will become a Void follower.
Ye Yang immediately closed his eyes and carefully examined his body and soul.
However, nothing unusual happened.
There was no other way but to go to my master. When I was not there, I had to ask the True Immortal of Zhushan for help.
Upon finding his master writing in the study, Ye Yang quickly explained his situation.
Zhushan Zhenxian also solemnly examined the prompts on the inherited magic artifact and Ye Yang's current physical condition.
"Given your condition, you should refrain from practicing the 'Great Void Refining Spirit Method' for now, and also avoid deliberately gazing into the void," said True Immortal Zhushan, his brow furrowed.
Ye Yang immediately became anxious. If he couldn't comprehend the void, what would happen to the laws of the void?
Seeing Ye Yang's performance, True Immortal Zhushan immediately smiled and comforted him:
"Void erosion is quite common among cultivators of the Void lineage, and generally, anything less than 0.21% is not a big problem."
"However, the erosion of the void will change your body and soul at the same time, including your consciousness, without you being able to perceive it yourself."
Because your own mental framework has also been affected and changed, you are unable to distinguish the differences on your own.
"Only by comparing with others can it be detected."
"However, once you join Project Enlightenment, they will naturally help you resolve this hidden danger."
Ye Yang quickly voiced his doubts: "Grandmaster, since even Void cultivators are susceptible to Void corruption, is the only difference between normal Void cultivators and Void believers simply the degree of corruption they are affected by?"
Doesn't this mean that all Void Practitioners will eventually become Void Believers?
Being eroded by the void, and even having his consciousness affected silently, worried Ye Yang greatly.
"That's how it is—"
After a thorough explanation from the True Immortal of Zhushan, Ye Yang finally understood the difference between a normal Void cultivator and a Void believer.
Normal Void cultivators are merely using the Void as a means of cultivation; the essence of their cultivation is the law of spacetime.
It involves using rational analysis and research.
The Void Believers—in order to gain power more quickly, they completely abandoned the Great Dao of analyzing and studying the Void, and instead actively brought their consciousness closer to the Void.
It is important to understand that the Void is a terrifying, inhuman existence. Once a person's consciousness is eroded and assimilated by the Void, their entire worldview will change.
For example, when they see planets, they feel uncomfortable because the matter is too concentrated!
Just like someone with OCD who wants to arrange things neatly when they see them not in order, a Void follower might naturally think, "Why don't we just blow up the planet?"
In their consciousness, they are closer to the "void" than to humanity.
【Void】loves absolute emptiness. Its life activity is to tear apart all the “strange lumps” of “visible matter” such as galaxies, stars, and planets.
To create an absolutely empty and clean space-time.
Imagine how a human would feel if they saw cockroaches in their home?
[The Void] Seeing galaxies and stars is like seeing pests!
Humans, beings composed of "visible matter," and the "void," composed of "dark energy," are two absolutely opposing entities.
