Chapter 259 - Void

The void was an unusual thing for nick since at first glance it seemed like its name suggested ,empty. the truth was that it was actually so filled with universal laws that it was like a raging ocean that he couldn't see the bottom of. the biggest difference from being on a world was the sheer ease at which one could cultivate there. when he was on restrus nick had to claw for every inch of advancement after he ascended but when he tried to cultivate in the void his cultivation began to rise far faster at nearly ten times his previous speed. the only gripe nick really had with cultivating in the void was that he had to replace to worldly laws he had fused with the universal laws that were of a far higher quality before he could advance. this was a perfectly acceptable thing for nick since doing so would only make him stronger so he had no problems doing so. oddly however the people he brought with him into the void who had not reached an ascendants level which is to say jakob and millea acted drunk because of how potent the universal laws were.

Apparently the sheer purity of the laws and by extension qi was so different for a non ascendant that it made them feel like they had drank some strong liquor. since millea was just a single body refinement tier away from ascending she was merely slightly tipsy whereas jakob was having trouble standing at all and laughed occasionally for no apparent reason. azdra and tyrion were fine however since both had reached an ascendant level even if only bȧrėly in azdras case. a huge problem had occurred however with the plants in the base as without exception all of them mutated. most irritatingly however was that the layer of blue grass nick had planted for aesthetics had mutated in a mind numbingly large amount of ways from have razor sharp edges to literally being on fire. whats worse is that the mutation went by a blade by blade standard so it was a huge mess of random attributes mashed together haphazardly. in the end nick decided to ignore it and focused his attention on cultivating while ignoring millea's bored attempts of trying to get a rise out of him. the drunkenness shown by jakob and millea slowly faded as their bodies adapted to the change which took a month for jakob and a week for millea.

A year had past since nick left restrus with him having the base travel in a straight line with no real destination in mind the entire time. in this year jakob had ascended with two laws and millea had done the same with body refinement. something that interested nick was how different millea's fiend god body looked compared to his own. her body lacked wings and a tail like his had but unlike his her body naturally had inky black skin and a silver third eye on her forehead.
