Night of Despair-Chapter 581 - 579 Approach One

After arranging the departure time with Quan He, Yu Hong returned to the Cultivation Room, sat cross-legged in meditation, and began quietly cultivating, waiting for the final moment of fortification to arrive.

In the traits within his mind, the Three Elements Divine Light he initially cultivated had now reached Perfection, granting him a trait called ’Piercing Eye.’

’Piercing Eye (an offensive ability released by the eyes, enhancing piercing effect by 500%)’ had no embellishments, only this one effect of increasing penetration.

This trait directly amplified the power of Yu Hong’s Eye of Emosa when casting Chaotic God Heavenly Eye by several times.

Over the past three years, Yu Hong tested it; now, the power of his Chaotic God Heavenly Eye, Eye of Emosa, had far surpassed other Divinity Transformation Stage magic techniques.

Therefore, he abandoned the pursuit of other Divinity Transformation spells, as his piercing gaze and terrifyingly enhanced close combat Holy Tiger Type rendered spells and magic techniques superfluous to him.

He now uses a combat style based on the Qingwei Heart Technique and Divinity Transformation spells as his external disguise.

It deceives opponents into believing he is an ordinary Immortal Dao cultivator, only for his strong close combat destructive power to bring them a massive surprise when they engage him closely.

Time slowly passed. ƒreewebɳovel.com

A few hours quickly went by, and the final moment of Outer Eye fortification finally arrived.

Sitting cross-legged and unmoving, Yu Hong gazed at the countdown timer reflected in the mirror in front of him.

At the instant when the last minute ticked down to zero.

He suddenly felt a pain in his eyeballs, followed by a surge of new information flooding into his mind.

’Outer Eye fortification complete, you have obtained the Withered Eye.’

’Withered Eye (one of the ultimate evolutionary paths of the Eye of Emosa, enables rapid decay and decompose targets when gazed upon, dismantling their structure. Additionally, gains the King of Decay trait and Withered Body trait.)’

’King of Decay (Your abilities related to decay and withering are at the highest priority. In your eyes, even time can be shattered with sufficient power. Your body, mind, and soul gain an eternal stability trait, preventing aging from the passage of time. Your growth trait gains infinite enhancement. You gain 80% resistance to time-space related effects, and 100% resistance to decay effects. You can partially control the speed of decay and withering within a small area and reverse it at will.)’

’Withered Body (Your physical attributes are amplified 20 times, and your close combat destructive power is enhanced 20 times. All your attacks will automatically carry a decay erosion effect. Your innate control over power far exceeds that of ordinary beings, and your cultivation speed in any power system will be increased tenfold.)’

’Warning: Due to acquiring a top-tier Heavenly Human Level complete organ, your body will passively undergo Heavenly Human transformation, and your actions will automatically carry a regional influence.’

"...Tsk tsk, this time’s fortification is quite substantial, a Heavenly Human Level organ. It was definitely worth it. Everything needed has been obtained."

Yu Hong opened his eyes, reaching out with his hand to grip lightly.

Bang!

The transparent space within his palm twisted as if squeezed like a soap bubble, then rebounded back to normal.

This grip seemed to cause the surrounding space to show fine black lines due to the spatial distortion.

Although the black lines disappeared in a flash, Yu Hong still followed them to sense the deep connection to the source—the Heaven’s Eye.

The Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture was essentially a Cultivation Technique mimicking the Heaven’s Eye, and this fortification unexpectedly directly influenced the Heaven’s Eye, which Yu Hong hadn’t anticipated.

’Continuing to fortify at this pace, I wonder what level this eye can achieve.’

Yu Hong felt the immense feedback of mana starting from the Withered Eye in his eye sockets. The feedback mana, in both quality and quantity, was far superior to his previous mana, and much more viscous. He realized that the comprehensive evolution of his body, brought about by the Outer Eye, had begun, which would also accelerate his cultivation speed.

He didn’t stop but quickly decided on the next trait to fortify.

Without hesitation, he merged the Withered Body with the Innate Body to enhance his cultivation speed trait.

The countdown quickly appeared: April 11, at 8:54 AM.

Yu Hong sighed.

A hint of frustration in his heart, knowing that previous trait fusions took only a little time, but now both fusion and fortification times were getting longer and longer.

After finishing these, Yu Hong seriously closed his eyes to sense the changes in his body.

He extended his hand, feeling that any dust or gas approaching him was naturally attracted to him.

The natural heat he emitted was also wholly absorbed back by an inexplicable force.

’Is the excessive density starting to cause gravitational pull?’ Yu Hong understood the phenomenon, recognizing it as akin to stellar collapse, though currently only subtly manifesting.

He then carefully performed the Qingyuan Heavenly River Miao Technique, a pure white Heavenly River naturally emerging and revolving around him.

He had now begun to touch upon the Contamination Level, characterized by extreme mana density, which significantly amplified the area of effect with just a small amount of mana.

The huge density difference caused the mana to naturally create a big explosion-like phenomenon, resulting in contamination.

’Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivation, plus twentyfold physical attributes and twentyfold close combat destructive power... Looks like I need a suitable opponent to test the current results.’ Yu Hong didn’t know the exact gap between Divinity Transformation and later Returning to Void Mahayana Ascension, but he now considered himself a small expert within the Immortal Dao.

Time passed unconsciously.

Soon, the clock on the table showed it was 9 AM the next day.

Yu Hong stood up and, along with Quan He, tidied up the belongings in the safehouse before starting their long-awaited departure journey by controlling the safehouse.

"See you in ten years, Senior," Yu Hong transmitted in a deep voice.

"With your cultivation speed, I hope you can step into the Immortal Realm in ten years." Su Dan encouraged.

He had truly witnessed Yu Hong’s terrifying prowess and discovered something special about him in the past three years.

"I hope so!" Yu Hong smiled.

The Black Black Spirit soared into the sky, colorful threads emerging around, slowly enveloping the entire safe house in the center.

Then with a swish, the safe house completely vanished.

In the wind disaster, the Black Black Spirit sped through the colorful lines like a swimming fish, accelerating in the direction given by Su Dan.

Buzz.

Shortly, a huge, tapering colorful tornado appeared ahead in the colorful lines.

"Is the coordinate correct?" Quan He asked doubtfully.

"Correct. The coordinate given by the senior is inside this. The surface is covered by the wind disaster, but it’s actually a hidden cosmic passage inside." Yu Hong checked the coordinate recorded on the Water Instrument Ball, controlling the Black Black Spirit, and accelerated towards the tornado.

"Watch out! Something’s coming!" Quan He suddenly called out in a low voice.

Just as the safe house was about to rush into the tornado, a group of golden heads, each the size of a car, flew in from the side.

These heads, rolling and laughing, brushed past the safe house at high speed.

Their massive size caused the safe house to wobble.

And this wobbling shifted the Black Black Spirit’s direction, sending it rushing into another side of the tornado.

Boom!

The whole Black Black Spirit began to be lifted and spun at high speed.

Yu Hong and Quan He cast spells to steady themselves, activating the internal protective array, waiting for the safe passage through the tornado.

About ten minutes later.

With a pop, the entire safe house suddenly stilled.

The swirling lines in front disappeared, replaced by a dark, hexagonal tunnel entrance.

Without any hesitation, the safe house accelerated again, rushing into the tunnel in one go.

Light Calendar Year 11287.

Intercontinental strife erupted on Flame Star, as Elza, Fran, and Linglong, the three major powers, conspired through proxy wars to silently carve up the planet’s resources and reestablish a new world order.

Three months into the war, a giant alien warship descended overnight upon Ford Mountain, the largest city of Elza.

The alien civilization known as Yinluo arrived on Flame Star, initiating a full-scale invasion and colonization. Meanwhile, the powerful biochemical technology known as Life Armor also spread to Flame Star along with them,

Yuanxi City of the Linglong Empire.

In an old gray-white residential building.

Yu Hong slowly shook his head, waking up from the daze.

He glanced around.

The safe house was as usual, unchanged, with the array perfectly securing all items inside.

Quan He was sprawled near the desk, her head hitting the corner and creating a small notch, though her forehead was unharmed.

The bright and soft golden sunlight was streaming in through the window and observation window.

"I actually passed out?" Yu Hong stood up in disbelief, moving his body and swiftly scanning himself internally with his vast divine sense.

The major difference between the Divinity Transformation Stage and Nascent Soul was the birth and nurturing of a new spiritual power called Divine Sense within the Nascent Soul.

The strength of the Divine Sense lay in its deeper subtleties, higher density, and quality of spiritual strength. It originated from spiritual power but far surpassed spiritual force.

The difference in strength was like that between charcoal and diamonds.

Divine Sense was also a prerequisite for refining top-level protective magic treasures in Immortal Dao cultivation. Abilities like multitasking, photographic memory, and super comprehension were maximally enhanced at this stage.

Yu Hong walked slowly to the window and looked outside.

Outside was a bustling street.

People riding bicycles and electric scooters weaved through each other, while commuters flowed quickly along the sides of the road.

Horn sounds, shouts, and the chirping of birds on the power lines intermingled in layers.

"It looks like a very ordinary place... where is the vitality here?"

Behind him, Quan He also woke up, slowly getting up and walking to Yu Hong’s side, rubbing her temples.

"How did we pass out?" she asked in confusion.

"That tornado was problematic. Given our physique and level of cultivation, it’s impossible for us to experience dizziness or unconsciousness. Also, we seemed to have been hit by something at the last moment, skewing our direction. This isn’t the target universe pointed out by Senior Su Dan."

Yu Hong said in a deep voice.

"I suspect that we experienced a time-space shift when we entered the tornado."

In the City of No Light, he had received much guidance from Su Dan. As he entered the Contamination Level at the Divinity Transformation Stage, he had already begun preliminary studies and research on time and space.

"Time-space shift?" Quan He asked in confusion. "What’s that?"
