1645 The Void Torrent Belt!
The Endless Tornado’s success left w.a.n.g Teng overjoyed.
That was his most powerful offensive technique thus far!
No, it might still be his most powerful offensive technique in the future!
The move would continue to become stronger as his own strength grew.
This would be so when his origin powers became stronger!
It would rise whenever the level of his s.p.a.ce Physique improved!
This would also happen whenever he found more unique items, like divine flames, the Nether Frost, and the Netherworld Water!
The power of his Endless Tornado would multiply!
w.a.n.g Teng had a vague idea. If he managed to instill the power of time to the Endless Tornado… what kind of qualitative transformation would it undergo?
It was hard to imagine.
The hero didn’t have an inkling of the ultimate power this battle technique could achieve.
The potential was limitless!
Such was his evaluation of the Endless Tornado.
The sheer joy made him want to laugh out loud. To think he created such a powerful battle technique!
He was amazing!
However, Round Ball was right there, so he kept a serious expression, appearing calm and unaffected, as if it were no big deal.
As expected, his response left the little one at a loss, feeling that it couldn’t understand w.a.n.g Teng anymore.
After completing the current advancement of his tornado, the hero thought for some time and decided to switch and study another battle technique, or rather, a divine ability.
It was the World Devourer ability of the Devouring Nihility Beast!
Based on Nihility’s memories, this divine talent was incredibly terrifying, as it could engulf any and all objects!
He didn’t have time to examine it in the past, or to properly develop it.
There was one time when he executed the Dark Devour Domain during the League of Talents, after the Crown Prince was in a devilized form. Such a technique contained the power of devouring inside.
This power wasn’t as powerful as the World Devourer move, but it was also terrifying.
Thanks to that test he finally started to give the divine ability some attention.
World Devourer could become frightening if he developed it along with a domain.
It wouldn’t just devour ‘food’ to replenish himself; it would also become a mysterious and unpredictable attack method.
The universe stage warrior he fought with in the past was trapped in the Devouring s.p.a.ce because of this divine ability.
Oh right, speaking about him, the hero suddenly remembered that the fellow was still there.
Indeed, it wasn’t easy to kill a universe stage warrior. Even then, he had yet to be completely devoured.
He didn’t understand experts of that level, so he thought that the Devour Nihility Beast’s power was enough to completely devour the fellow.
However, from the looks of it, unless Nihility reached the heaven stage or even stronger, it would be unable to easily consume the other party.
w.a.n.g Teng sensed that the warrior had used some method to seal his origin, limiting his exhaustion, even in the Devouring s.p.a.ce. He was able to hold on for a long time.
The situation was regrettable. The young hero was looking forward to obtaining more treasures from the expert.
Of course, being able to suppress a universe stage warrior was enough to prove the terrifying nature of the Devouring Nihility Beast.
Boom!
A loud explosion interrupted w.a.n.g Teng’s thoughts.
“What happened?” He was surprised.
“Let’s go out and take a look,” Round Ball said.
The hero nodded and walked out of the cultivation room to reach the wars.h.i.+p’s lobby.
Sikong the Second looked at him and smiled. “Don’t worry. Our wars.h.i.+p has already left the Liuguang Territorial Domain where the Great Qian Empire is located.”
w.a.n.g Teng was surprised. “The Liuguang Territorial Domain?!”
“Looks like you’re unfamiliar with the world outside the Great Qian,” said the elder.
The young man nodded. He searched through Nihility’s memories and finally understood what a territorial domain was. He was shocked.
Sikong the Second also expounded on the subject. “A territorial domain is a vast collection of stellar domains. The human race has found 136 territorial domains, which are exceptionally vast.
“The Liuguang Territorial Domain is one amongst the 136, and the Great Qian Empire is but one of the factions inside it. Considering all existing factions, they are within the top three in terms of strength.”
“136 territorial domains!” w.a.n.g Teng compared it with the information in his memory and his surprise grew.
The vastness of the universe stretched far beyond the limits of human comprehension, and the Great Qian Empire was just a tiny speck within it. Even the Liuguang Territorial Domain was just a small component of the whole.
“Going beyond humanity’s area of influence, there are domains of other unique races.” Sikong the Second allowed the young hero to process the information before he continued, “There are many domains that are still unknown to us. The universe is boundless, and humans have yet to fully explore its depths.”
The elder glossed over the subject, not wanting to go into detail.
As for w.a.n.g Teng, the memories he had just retrieved made him realize that the instructor’s words weren’t baseless. There were indeed countless domains beyond humanity’s 136 territories, and they weren’t any weaker in comparison.
For instance, the Mecha Territorial Domain, owned by the Mecha Race.
There were mecha races like An Lan in the Great Qian Empire, but they were rare. Similarly, humans could also exist in the Mecha Territorial Domain.
That was the real home of the Mecha Race. They thrived there and all the race variants were powerful.
Humans had ventured into the territory to train, but their understanding of the Mecha Race was limited. They were a mysterious bunch.
The Mecha domain was an extremely mysterious place in the entire universe.
Another example was the Solar Dragon Territorial Domain.
That was a place controlled by the Solar Dragon race. Naming a territorial domain after a race proved how powerful the latter was.
w.a.n.g Teng frowned, suddenly realizing that the Solar Dragon Race was more troublesome than expected.
How could he compete with them, when they controlled an entire domain?
The corpse of the Solar Dragon Race expert he had acquired earlier was like a ticking bomb, ready to bring him major trouble at any moment.
The only information he had in the past was that their kind was a mighty force in the universe. He didn’t expect them to be that powerful.
This was the downside of going over the Devour Nihility Beast’s memories. The creature was a formidable existence, so it didn’t hold much regard for the Solar Dragon Race. That was the reason why it registered those dragons as insignificant.
And the hero took the information at face value, stupidly so.
He only realized how terrifying they were after the comparison.
Heavens!
w.a.n.g Teng felt regretful.
But, it was too late.
The joy of taking advantage was directly proportional to the misery experienced later.
His frustration kept growing, and could only sigh.
“What happened?” Round Ball asked.
“Round Ball, I suddenly feel that my life is filled with darkness,” the hero said.
“Are you crazy?” The little one asked with a strange expression. “The universe is vast, but given your talent, you’re capable enough to rival against their top geniuses. Don’t feel discouraged.”
“It has nothing to do with them. I just remembered something troublesome.” w.a.n.g Teng shook his head.
“Tell me about it.” The little helper was surprised.
“Forget it, I won’t talk about it. I’m afraid you’d lose sleep because of it,” the other replied.
Round Ball: …
Why are you keeping me in the dark when you’ve already said so much?!
Are you purposely trying to make me feel uncomfortable?
The hero’s unwillingness to speak made the little one even more curious. It kept pestering the former.
In the end, he relented. “Do you remember the Solar Dragon Race’s corpse?”
“I see.” Round Ball was enlightened. It smiled and continued, “That might be troublesome, but don’t worry. The Solar Dragon Race is arrogant; they wouldn’t bully a junior. Only members of your same age would come looking for you.”
“Really?” w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes lit up.
“Of course.” Round Ball stared at him weirdly. “Were you thinking you’d be forced to be on the run?”
w.a.n.g Teng coughed awkwardly and said, “No way. I’m just thinking I would need to lay low in the Seventh Stellar Academy and cultivate for a few hundred years until I became invincible if there aren’t other options. Only then would I come out.”
The little one was stunned.
What kind of thoughts is this? What is he thinking?
Does he think he can become invincible by cultivating in secret for a few hundred years?
I don’t believe it!
“Actually, it’s not a bad idea!” w.a.n.g Teng touched his chin.
“What are you saying? You’ll become useless if you stay in the academy for a few hundred years,” said the angry helper.
“You don’t understand. Staying hidden is a deep and profound skill,” the hero said.
Round Ball: …
Deep and profound skill?
Only w.a.n.g Teng had the ability to make a timid act sound so refres.h.i.+ng and righteous.
The conversation was brief, taking place in their minds. Right then, Sikong the Second waved a hand and activated the panoramic simulation. The boundless universe appeared in the air.
Right before them was a strange-looking ‘river’.
“What’s that?” w.a.n.g Teng was attracted by it.
“That’s the Void Torrent Belt!” said the little one in the hero’s mind, the tone grim.
At the same time—the instructor also offered an answer.
“The Void Torrent Belt!”
w.a.n.g Teng looked ahead, astonished.
It was like a river dotted with countless celestial bodies, with neither an evident beginning nor an end. It was a spectacular sight.
“Void torrent belts exist between the various territorial domains like natural barriers. They have various celestial bodies, complex energy currents and unknown life forms inside, making it extremely dangerous,” the instructor explained.
“When did these void torrent belts appear?” said the hero in a stern voice. He used his Real Eye to inspect the belt, but realized that he could barely see up to a kilometer in depth. This was incredible.
Sikong the Second blinked and said in a meaningful tone, “No one knows when they appeared. Some say they were naturally formed, while others say they were made by invincible warriors. There’s no clear answer.”
