Chapter 186
Advance!
Master Ti Wu stood up. “Chu Shen!” He called out.
Chu Shen immediately perked up. “Yes Master Ti Wu?”
“I believe you’ve lazed around enough. I’m going to test your domain again, get ready.”
Chu Shen became serious. Reinforcing the soul strands that made-up his domain, Chu Shen prepared for the immense Universe that Master ti Wu had summoned last time.
Master Ti Wu closed his eyes before lifting his hands. Chu Shen saw the soul energy emerge from Master Ti Wu’s forehead before condensing into multiple galaxies around him. Chu Shen stared at it in away before the galaxies suddenly enveloped his domain.
Once again the immense pressure came over him. It was similar to being in a heavy gravity, the soul force pressed down on his body. Chu Shen fell to his knees as sweat dripped down his head. The soul strands of his domain shuddered ominously as the pressure threatened to snap them despite Chu Shen’s reinforcements.
Gritting his teeth, Chu Shen forcibly withstood the pressure and kept his composure. His moves were exaggerated and painfully slow yet he was able to get back on his feet.
Chu Shen simply stood there, sweat dripping from his forehead into his eyes. His hands were clenched and the veins on his neck bulged outwards. Chu Shen tilted his head back before letting out an aggressive yell. “AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”
Who, or what, this yell was directed at was unknown. When Chu Shen let out this tremendous sound, he felt as though something had broken inside him. There was a burst of blackness from his body that quickly infested his soul strands.
Suddenly, the pressure disappeared. Instead, Chu Shen felt as though he was being refreshed. It was like he had suddenly been dunked into ice cold water. Everything became crisp and slower. The entire world seemed to finally come into focus.
Chu Shen looked around in awe as Master Ti Wu started to smile. ‘Finally. He has unleashed the true power of the Void.’ He frowned as he felt the energy from his galaxies being drained. ‘Guess I have to teach him how to control it or I’ll be completely absorbed by this brat.’
“Chu Shen! Dismiss your domain and recall your soul energy. You need to reform your galaxy.”
Chu Shen woke up from his reverie. “Yes master.” Chu Shen’s domain was no longer gray but had turned into a sinister-looking black fog. This fog made one feel as though they would lose their soul if they gazed into it for too long, making one feel as though they were looking into a bottomless abyss. It floated towards Chu Shen before being sucked into his dantian.
While Chu Shen was curious about the change, he still needed to reform his galaxy. Composing himself, Chu Shen started to create his galaxy. One thing was important to remember, the black-hole at the center of his galaxy was the only thing that didn’t dissolve into soul energy.
The reason for this was because the black hole was the foundation of Chu Shen’s domain. The black hole was simply too strong and st.u.r.dy. When he tried to dissolve it, the gravity of the black hole would force the energy to remain inside it.
The soul energy was black as well, making the stars Chu Shen reformed black as well. Normally the stars were bright points of light set in the darkness of s.p.a.ce. Now it was flip-flopped. The stars formed the abyss while the vibrant green of the forest was the backdrop for Chu Shen’s galaxy.
It took thirty minutes for Chu Shen to reform his galaxy. The last time he had reformed it, it took fifty minutes so he knew he was improving. When he finished the last star, Chu Shen realized he had some energy left over. Confused, he looked at Master Ti Wu.
Master Ti Wu sighed. “The extra energy is from when your soul just grew as a result of the pressure I put on it.”
Chu Shen nodded. “I see. So, do you know why my soul energy and Qi turned black?”
Master Ti Wu nodded. “It is what I told you last time. Upon forming a galaxy, one enters the Celestial stage, where you have formed a celestial phenomena. I remember telling you that only upon entering the Celestial stage would you be able to unleash the Void Qi in your body.” He pointed towards Chu Shen. “Well, now you finally have Void Qi.”
Chu Shen just nodded. Then his eyes widened. “What? I, I truly have Void Qi now?!”
Master Ti Wu grinned. “Yes. You see, when I pressured your domain with my soul domain you pushed back. You tried to withstand my attack with everything you had. This evolved your soul to the next level, causing the dormant Void Qi inside your body to finally be unleashed. The Void Qi quickly expanded and absorbed the Null Qi in your domain and your soul energy was converted to void energy.”
Chu Shen sat down and simply stared upwards. Finally, he turned back to Master Ti Wu. “So, what does this mean exactly. How does this change my powers.”
Master Ti Wu smirked. “Everything changes, yet everything remains the same. That is how I would describe it. With Void Qi, you can now absorb physical objects and impacts with your void Qi.”
“I remember from your time on Sparta that you told me that matter can be turned into energy in a process called nuclear fission and the opposite through nuclear fusion. Well, Void Qi can initiate nuclear fission and turn the resulting energy into Void Qi.”
“Just this alone causes a ma.s.sive increase in your fighting power. You can now use a simple boulder to replenish a large amount of your power. Your physical body can also be tempered again, increasing your body strength again.”
“The devouring power of your Qi also increased, allowing faster absorption and increased resistance against the world"s pressure allowing your domain to increase in size again. Finally, and most importantly, your soul can now absorb soul energy as a result of the void energy contained inside it.”
“To sum it up, all of your powers will advance to another tier. Yet the only additional power will be the ability to absorb soul energy. Like I said, everything changes yet remains the same.”
Chu Shen’s face was practically split in two by this time. “This is great! I can’t wait to start training.”
Master Ti Wu grinned. “Good. You can start by creating another galaxy. You need to create at least fifty million of them with just as many stars as this has.”
Chu Shen sighed. “I guess I could wait a little longer on training.”
“What was that, you brat!!!”
