Chapter 261 - Void Starflame, Floating Island
Chapter 261: Void Starflame, Floating Island
Name: Unknown
Race: Void Behemoth
Arcana: Ultimate Physique (Awaken, Replicable, Plunderable), Void Escape (Awaken, Replicable, Plunderable), Void Starflame (Awaken, Replicable, Plunderable), Void Devouring (Awaken, Replicable, Plunderable), Inner World (Awaken, Replicable, Plunderable), Dimensional Sensing (Awaken, Replicable, Plunderable)
“Heh, it’s really no weaker than the Flame Astral Behemoth.”
After looking at the Arcana information of the Void Behemoth, Ling Jiu could not help but be amazed before asking, “Leoux, give me a detailed introduction to the Void Behemoth’s abilities.”
Leoux happily agreed, and then started introducing. “The Void Behemoth has six main Arcanas, and the first is Ultimate Physique.”
“The Void Behemoth’s body is extremely powerful, and its physique attribute index is 1 million times. So, its body is no inferior to the Flame Astral Behemoth.”
“Indeed!”
Ling Jiu nodded repeatedly.
A physical attribute index was the most prominent index to measure the strength of a being’s flesh, and how strong one’s body was, the physical attribute index will state it very clearly.
“Second, Void Escape.”
Leoux continued, “Void Escape is a movement-type skill that allows it to merge with the Void Sea, and instantly move thousands of miles away.”
“As for how far, it has to do with the level of the Void Behemoth, and a newborn infantile Void Behemoth can instantly move thousands of miles away.”
“Several thousand miles?”
Ling Jiu’s eyes lit up. “This Arcana is nice.”
He may have the Dimension Arcana, and could instantly travel from the Antarctic to Lantian Base City, but that required him to leave a dimensional mark in advance.
Without a dimensional mark, he would be helpless either way.
He may have the Wormhole Arcana now and could rush from Earth to the Moon in a short time, but that was more of a long-distance travel ability.
His Blink Arcana could at most let him travel 10 kilometers instantaneously at best.
Ten kilometers and thousands of miles were completely two different magnitudes.
“If I were to replicate this Arcana, then I could easily travel to any region in a planet without the need for leaving a dimensional mark.”
“That’ll be so convenient.”
Ling Jiu was heated up.
“Third Arcana, Void Starflame.”
Leoux smiled and said, “This flame was born in the sea of space, and is without form, or rather, it could be ever-changing, and take any form.”
“As for the power of the Void Starflame, it is, of course, unparalleled, it could burn any star into nothingness.”
“Burn any star…”
Ling Jiu’s eyes lit up even more.
“Fourth, Void Devouring.”
Leoux continued, “This Arcana is the same as the Astral Flame Behemoth’s The Devourer, but the difference is the Void Devouring directly devoured the entire void, and it could devour all energy and material that exist in the void.”
“Devour and entire void!”
Ling Jiu swallowed his saliva.
“From here, you could tell that although it is the same kind of Astral Behemoth that devours the space, the Void Behemoth’s devouring ability is significantly stronger.”
Leoux guffawed. “That can’t be helped. The Void Behemoth is after all a dimension-type Astral Behemoth, and in terms of their dimensional ability, no Astral Behemoths could match it.”
Ling Jiu nodded repeatedly.
“The fifth one, the Inner World.”
Speaking of this Arcana, Leoux’s eyes lit up.
“This is the Arcana I want to highlight to you, and also the reason why I wasted so much energy to capture it alive. It’s because the Inner World of the Void Behemoth is really powerful and I want you to replicate it.”
Ling Jiu showed a look of anticipation.
“Although both the Astral Flame Behemoth and the Void Behemoth also have Inner Worlds, the two are very different.”
“The Inner World of the Flame Astral Behemoth is full of destructive blazing flames, a world completely occupied by destructive fire.”
“Any objects that enter the Flame Astral Behemoth will only end up as one thing, being burned into pure energy and nourishing the behemoth.”
Leoux then pivoted. “But the Inner World inside the Void Behemoth is the opposite, and is a true world.”
At this point, Leoux looked at Ling Jiu and suddenly asked. “Ling Jiu, do you know the difference between a world and space?”
“The difference between world and space?”
Ling Jiu was dumbstruck for a moment before frowning and started to ponder.
“The difference is actually very simple, space alone is without life, but a world can spawn everything and give birth to life!”
Leoux answered himself, “And the Inner World of a Void Behemoth is exactly the kind of world that could breed life, not unlike those divine lands founded by a galactic lifeform.”
“Spawn everything, and give birth to life!”
Ling Jiu’s eyes gleamed.
“Of course, although everything can be spawned, the Inner World of the Void Behemoth has the same terrifying decomposition capabilities.”
Leoux added, “This is the same as the Flame Astral Behemoth’s Inner World, and it could break down life into the purest life energies.”
“It can break down minerals into atoms and can break down other substances into other forms of energy.”
“The difference is that the Flame Astral Behemoth’s Inner World’s decomposition is not controlled by it.”
“When the Void Behemoth decompose things in its Inner World, the process is controlled by the Void Behemoth, and if it doesn’t want it to decompose, it will not decompose.”
Ling Jiu nodded repeatedly.
“From this, we can see the big gap between the Flame Astral Behemoth and the Void Behemoth’s Inner World.”
Leoux smiled. “Both have the ability to decompose and transform matter, but the Void Behemoth’s one can be controlled and the Flame Astral Behemoth cannot.”
“Also, the Void Behemoth’s Inner World could spawn all things and give birth to life.”
“That is indeed a big gap.”
Ling Jiu could not help but nod. If he had to choose, he would certainly choose the Void Behemoth’s Inner World instead of the Flame Astral Behemoth.
“Ling Jiu, I suggest that you replicate the Void Behemoth’s Inner World first.”
Leoux’s eyes lit up. “The Inner World of the Void Behemoth is its very foundation.”
“The stronger its Inner World is, the stronger the Void Behemoth gets. As long as the Void Behemoth wanted to, it could draw upon all of the energy inside its Inner World for its own use.”
“Plus, when you become a galactic lifeform, you can completely expand and transform your body into the foundation of a divine land.”
“By then, not only you can bring it with you, it will be extremely sturdy as well, it’s like killing two birds with one stone.”
“I know!”
Ling Jiu nodded repeatedly.
“Sixth, Dimensional Sensing.”
Leoux said indifferently. “This Arcana is very generic, using the sea of space, the Void Behemoth could sense everything within thousand of miles, so everything… had nowhere to hide.”
“This is also a very extraordinary ability!”
Ling Jiu licked his lips. Using the Dimensional Arcana, he could also detect life around him, but that was limited to only dozens of kilometers.
Sensing thousands of kilometers?
That was impossible!
“Let’s cut the chatter, and start replicating.”
Leoux urged him impatiently. “Replicate the Inner World first.”
Ling Jiu nodded slightly. “Before I do that I have a question to ask you. What do you plan to do with this Void Behemoth?”
“What else? Kill it.”
Leoux said without hesitation. “First of all, its level is far much higher than yours, and even with the Beast Chip, you cannot subdue it.”
“Secondly, it’s a Void Behemoth, and it’s very costly to imprison it as it consumes a lot of energy every single moment.”
“So, instead of keeping it and wasting resources, better to dispose of it cleanly.”
“This is a Void Behemoth that could match a galactic lifeform, isn’t it a shame to kill it?”
Ling Jiu felt a little regretful. “If we can subdue it, won’t we have one more powerful fighting force?”
“Forget it, you can never tame it.”
Leoux said helplessly. “Besides, with the Leoux, you have no use for it, and it’s a dead weight at best.”
“Makes sense.”
Ling Jiu nodded, and immediately gave the order to Plunder.
“Plunder the Void Behemoth’s Inner World.”
Probably because the Void Behemoth was rather powerful, the time it took to Plunder lasted a full five minutes before it was successful.
“Assimilate!”
Baaam!!
Half an hour later, Ling Jiu transferred his consciousness into the Inner World.
It was a gray space, surrounded by thick grey mist, blocking his line of sight, and making it impossible for anyone to see further into the distance.
In the grey space was a small black floating island.
It was only the size of a football field, with a thickness of tens of meters as it floated solitarily in this world.
Ling Jiu landed on the black island. The surface of the island was covered with black soil and seemed to be sufficiently fertile for plant growth.
With a thought, Ling Jiu pulled Sapling Ling who was sleeping in his body out.
The little guy looked dazed and drowsy as it said. “What’s the matter, bro?”
“Test out the fertility of this soil.”
Ling Jiu asked. “If possible, you’ll live here from now on.”
“Bro, where is this place?”
Sapling Ling looked around with a confused look, but it still landed on the small island and planted its roots into the black soil.
“Whoa!”
Sapling Ling exclaimed. “Bro, the soil here is very fertile and is rich in all sorts of nutrients. It’s a good place to live!”
Ling Jiu smiled. “Since it’s a good place, then stay here from now on then, and manage this floating island for me.”
“Bro, where is this place actually?”
Sapling Ling asked incredulously.
“This is my Inner World.”
Ling Jiu explained. “Staying here is no different than staying inside my body.”
“Your Inner World?”
Sapling Ling sighed with relief. “That’s fine then. Don’t worry bro, I’ll help you manage this place.”
“I believe in you.”
Ling Jiu smiled as his consciousness left the Inner World.
“Leoux, let out a few of those Marine Behemoths you had captured in Ganymede out, I want to test the new Inner World out.”
“Not a problem!”
When the first Marine Behemoth was sent into Ling Jiu’s Inner World, and as Leoux had said, it was not being broken down by the Inner World.
After that, Ling Jiu gave the order to decompose, and the surrounding grey mist gathered around and broke the Marine Behemoth down in a frenzy.
In a short while, the stellar-level lifeform Marine Behemoth was broken down into the purest life energies.
The life energies did not flow into Ling Jiu’s body but instead fell upon the black island.
In an instant, the black island expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By the time the expansion stopped, the black island’s size had increased by half.
“The Inner World is growing!”
Ling Jiu tried harder, and in an hour’s time, the black island expanded in a frenzy…
