Chapter 467 Ch 467: Spiritarium

"Spiritarium?"

Ling Xiaolong endured the excruciating pain and made a mental note of the name of the Cosmic Field mentioned by the Abyss Emperor.

He had once believed that Chaos was the sole Cosmic Field, the only Realm of Existence in the infinite darkness.

However, not long ago, he learned that the Abyss was another Cosmic Field, another Realm of Existence separate from Chaos.

Later, after devouring the soul of an Abyssal, he discovered that the Abyss Emperor had devoured hundreds of Realms of Existence similar to Chaos.

Now that the Abyss Emperor was discussing these Realms of Existence, how could he not listen attentively?

Although he was enduring inhuman pain, his strength allowed him to multitask. While part of him endured the pain, another part rapidly devised a solution for the Red Particles affecting his soul. Now that the Abyss Emperor was speaking, yet another part of him focused on listening to the Abyss Emperor's words.

It can be said that merging three individuals into one has its advantages.

It is a widely accepted belief that a person can only think about one thing at a time. There is no way for a person, regardless of their strength, to think about multiple things simultaneously.

This limitation is primarily due to our brain structure. With only one brain, we are inherently limited to processing one thought at a time. Of course, there are races with more than one brain. They could also think more than one matter at a time and do things more efficiently.

However, after the fusion of Ye Xiao, Qin Feng, and Ling Xiaolong #1, Ling Xiaolong gained the ability to think about multiple things simultaneously. This could be considered a remarkable ability to have.

This is also the reason why Ling Xiaolong was able to focus on listening to the Abyss Emperor's words very clearly and note down all his words.

The Abyss Emperor was probably thinking that even if he were to say these secrets, Ling Xiaolong might not understand or even listen carefully because he is focusing on enduring the pain and trying to find a way to suppress the Red Particles.

The Abyss Emperor said, "Spiritarium is a very unique Cosmic Field, one of its kind. I have been to hundreds of Cosmic Fields and have devoured them all. The Spiritarium was the only Cosmic Field that I dare not lay my hands on."

"Oh, I forgot to mention. Perhaps due to the unique nature of my soul or the inherent Soul Energy permeating the void of Spiritarium that is like a spying tool for creatures of Spiritarium, I was immediately detected by the powerful beings inhabiting that Cosmic Field the moment I arrived. They immediately arrived in front of me and started investigating. Although they were weaker than me in the cultivation of strength, I couldn't shake off the looming sense of danger emanating from them. It was so intense that my soul trembled violently."

"As the saying goes, where there is light, there is darkness. That Cosmic Field is not devoid of darkness. Upon my arrival, the self-proclaimed righteous forces sought to apprehend me and subject me to interrogation. They even threatened to delve into my soul if I refused to cooperate, bombarding me with questions about my presence in Spiritarium, my origins, and my intentions. Blah! Blah! Blah!"

Abyss Emperor suddenly smiled, his smile seemed to be the reflection of pure evil.

Stopping for a few seconds, he continued, "Fortunately, Spiritarium harbors dark forces as well. Upon my entry, my darkness was sensed by them. They intervened, freeing me and spiriting me away. It was during that time that I gleaned insights into Spiritarium and Soul Cultivation. I also came to realize my own vulnerability. I learned how vulnerable I am despite possessing strength formidable enough to obliterate and consume countless Cosmic Fields. It was then that I resolved to ascend to a level beyond that of the King of Abyss."

"Since I myself am an embodiment of darkness, the ruler of Abyss, those dark forces felt connected to me. We exchanged information. I gave them valuable information that could cause a rapid increase in their strength, and they taught me how to cultivate my soul."

"However, as a foreign entity, Spiritarium itself did not accept me. It's a pity I couldn't harness Soul Energy to bolster my Soul Force. Yet, after years of relentless research, I eventually developed my own Soul Skill."

Ling Xiaolong's eyes sparked with light for a moment when he heard the last sentence spoken by the Abyss Emperor. But that light was quickly hidden.

With great difficulty, Ling Xiaolong spoke two words, "R-red Par_ticles..."

"You are smart!"

Abyss Emperor praised Ling Xiaolong and laughed loudly.

"It seems my words are not wasted on you. You were listening to me. It is just that I don't know how much you understood. Anyway, I'll clear all your doubts before devouring you."

"Yes, the red particles are not actually particles but the manifestation of an ability born from my Soul Force. It's an ability I created back in Spiritarium. This ability is called the Soul Abyss."

"Once your soul is completely contaminated, you will feel as if falling into the depthless abyss and being consumed by billions, even trillions, of Abyssals. You will feel as though your soul is slowly being torn into pieces and your soul force is being extracted bit by bit. The pain you will experience will be a hundred times worse than what you are suffering now."

"This is also the reason why I named this ability: the Soul Abyss."

"I learned multiple things about souls from them. Later, I left Spiritarium because staying there would be of no use to me. After all, it was much better to find other Cosmic Fields and devour them instead of wasting my time there."
