Chapter 142: 1000th Spirit Vein
The amount of essence of the Heaven Devouring Abyss required to condense the last spirit vein was monstrous. Even if Tang Yin devoured everything in his storage ring, it would not be enough. However, given the unlimited supply of Spirit Qi descending upon him, this was not an issue.
Tang Yin slowly took his 522nd step on the Heaven Ascension Peak. While condensing the last spirit vein, he did not stop. The higher he climbed, the more Spirit Qi he could Devour, this allowed the spirit vein to condense faster.
The Spirit Qi devoured increased with each step Tang Yin took, he did not pay attention to anything except for condensing the last spirit vein and moving ahead. On the 560th step, the last spirit vein was almost completely condensed.
A few steps later, a loud bang rang out from Tang Yin’s body. All of the cultivators ahead of him, including Scattered Soul Daoist and even Tian Huang turned their attention to Tang Yin.
This was outside of his expectations, he did not think reaching the completion of the Spirit Vein Condensation would create such a sound which everyone nearby could hear.
Before Tang Yin could even do anything, Tian Huang spoke. "Red-haired brat, if you can reach the 1000th step, I will give you an additional reward on top of the serendipity."
Then Tian Huang closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep whilst seated in the air.
All of the cultivator’s expressions changed, including Scattered Soul Daoist. Never would they have ever thought that a mere Spirit Vein Condensation Realm cultivator could catch the eye of Tian Huang, an almighty being in their minds.
Tang Yin ignored the attention brought to him by Tian Huang. He was already planning to receive the serendipity at the 1000th step, now he was even more determined to do so due to the additional reward promised.
Tang Yin slowly walked up the steps, devouring more Spirit Qi in the process. He had reached full completion in the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm. However, Tang Yin did not see the method to create a Spirit Flame in the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit when he browsed through it. This left him baffled.
The Spirit Qi he devoured was swiftly converted into massive chunks of Abyss Qi. Tang Yin thought this was a massive waste. There were many ways to accumulate Abyss Qi. He would rather use the benefits gathered on the Heaven Ascension Peak on something other than the Abyss Qi which was much harder to obtain in normal circumstances.
’Since there is still something left to complete in the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm, the Heaven Devouring Abyssal Sanskrit has not revealed the method to create a Spirit Flame. What could I be missing?’ This question rang out continuously in Tang Yin’s mind.
’All of this Spirit Qi is going to waste, I’ll have to try everything I can think of.’ Tang Yin thought, he then tried to condense another spirit vein. Although 999 spirit veins were the maximum number of spirit veins a cultivator could condense, Tang Yin was truly out of options.
He could either let the Spirit Qi go to waste or try the impossible. He was absolutely not willing to let the Spirit Qi go to waste. He only had a limited amount of time to spend in the Heaven Ascension Peak.
Theoretically, Tang Yin could just sit down and Devour the Spirit Qi in the Heaven Ascension Peak and not move an inch for years. However, this was akin to exposing the Heaven Devouring Abyss and irking a powerful being such as Tian Huang. The losses outweighed the gains.
To Tang Yin’s surprise, he was able to create the outline of his 1000th spirit vein! This left Tang Yin in shock, he was just trying out an idea, and he did not expect it to work.
Tang Yin reached the 570th step as he condensed the outline of the 1000th spirit vein.
He saw the tall, brutish man on the 572nd step. He was exhausted, panting harshly and had one knee on the ground. He looked like a dried-up oil lamp.
Tang Yin ignored the tall, brutish man. He calmly walked past him as if he did not exist. All of his attention was on the 1000th spirit vein.
Even after climbing up to the 585th step, the outline of the 1000th spirit vein was still not complete. This left Tang Yin in shock. The amount of essence of the Heaven Devouring Abyss required to condense the 1000th spirit vein was so huge that under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to condense the spirit vein. He might even be stuck at this stage for the rest of his life if it weren’t for the endless Spirit Qi descending upon him.
The tall, brutish man behind Tang Yin let out a roar filled with the unwillingness to admit defeat. His eyes were filled with madness, he took large strides and rushed up the Heaven Ascension Peak.
573, 574, 575, 576, 577, 578, 579, 580, 581. The tall, brutish man’s last bout of madness and strength allowed him to cross 9 consecutive steps. That was all though. With regret and unwillingness, the tall, brutish man stretched out his arm towards the heavens, as if he were begging for help.
Unfortunately, no help came. He collapsed on the 581st step.
