Paragon of Sin

Chapter 372 - 368: Whisked Away

"...Yi?" Ori's voice seemed to proclaim its innocence. But Wei Wuyin knew full well that was utter bullshit! Just like before, it had done something to invoke a tribulation far beyond its limitations, this is what he believed!

And he was mostly right!

"...I didn't. I didn't!" Ori tried to declare its innocence once more, but its tone was far too nefarious. The lies were leaking clearly from its voice, like a scolded child that had pressed the big red button with glee. Furthermore, Wei Wuyin was linked to it, and clearly felt the reverberations of its spirit. How could it even think it could lie?!

Wei Wuyin felt a wave of headaches. He looked at the first ring, how it exceeded the Sky Layer of the Yellow Rain Continent, and he inwardly groaned. This was impossible!

To overcome the Soul-Pulse Manifestation Tribulation, one had to resist the spiritual pressure emitted by the Soul Pulse Rings, surpassing the created rings and absorbing it soon after. These Soul Pulse Rings would then become a part of his Astral Soul, used to form his Soul Idol at the end of it. They contained unique variant spiritual energies called Manifested Spirit Energy, suitable for forming Soul Idols.

To possess the qualifications to initiate the Soul Idol Tribulation, a cultivator has to comprehend the essence of this unique variant spiritual energy, this Manifested Spirit Energy. Then, they can use their Astral Souls to call forth the world's powers to conjure them into existence via an indistinct law. The distortions of colors, space, and the world was due to these energies gathering at the greatest imaginable pace.

Typically, they're roughly a few tens of meters, maybe a few hundreds of meters at the highest! But, his Soul Pulse Rings were the size of the fucking continents, of planets, of the starfield!! Why?!

How?!

How was it possible for him to travel through them?!?!

"...I might've done something…" Ori folded like a stack of cards. It too was utterly shocked by the sheer size of it! Even it hadn't expected such a massive change! But from the tone of its voice, there seemed to be more to come.

"How?!" Just like before, his other three Astral Souls were dormant, allowing Ori to take the first shot at the Astral Tribulation. Their energies were being fed into Ori to bolster her abilities. It was this form of connective means that allowed them to instigate a greater Sky-World Lightning Tribulation.

His heart stopped for a moment. He recalled that the Soul Pulse Rings were a reflection of the amount of Manifested Spirit Energy required to form specific Soul Pulses. Due to the current era's severely lacking talents, it was likely that this wasn't actually an odd event.

He quietly pondered and Ori allowed him to with its silence. Wei Wuyin used his Celestial Eyes, peering into the nine Soul Pulse Rings that formed a conical shape with the largest ninth ring being the base of the cone. He could sense the Manifested Spirit Energy that he'd comprehended, understanding that the density and quantity of it exceeded any known records.

He recalled the uniqueness of his Astral Souls. Just from the size of their Astral Cores, it was clear their foundation of the four fundamental energies were utterly capped. This meant his physical, spiritual, mental, and essence energies were to their utmost limits. He hadn't thought about it before, but had any cultivator to date reached that limit?

The average size of Sky Ruler Astral Cores was about half a millimeter, and his current size was about twenty times that. The Astral Core was the reflection of one's Astral Force quantity and quality, its size meant its World Sea's size within and the outer shell was a direct correlation to physical, mental, spiritual, and essence energies within.

As he thought more, he felt that he'd never conceived the possibility that his Astral Souls were at the pinnacle of their limits in every way. He had fed them numerous eighth-grade alchemical products suitable for middle-phase Astral Core Realm cultivators at the Sky Ruler Phase, which was the mid lower-phase. Furthermore, their rapid refinements of products allowed them to consume thousands of these products.

Moreover, he could concoct thousands of good quality products for them to refine. This fact, a fact that he hadn't considered too much, had finally hit him. His eyes glowed with a brilliant radiance as he inspected the rings above.

"A one-centimeter sized Astral Core is said to be double the size of the greatest Purist of the Sacred Light Palace in this era." Wei Wuyin recalled this fact, his heart throbbing. That figure was at the Sixth Stage of the Astral Core Realm, the Gravity Emission Phase, yet it was merely half his Astral Core size!

If those Soul Pulse Rings were reflections of his Astral Souls, then this might be…

Then it hit him.

This wasn't the Soul Pulse Rings of one Astral Soul at the pinnacle, but all four! His eyes bulged slightly, now realizing how they were manipulating this Astral Tribulation! It was the same way they manipulated the Sky-World Lightning Tribulation! He felt the dormant Astral Souls in him, feeling a throbbing sensation in his heart that invigorated his body. For some odd reason, the feeling of shock started to dissipate, replaced by excitement and anticipation.

From the beginning, he felt he needed the greatest cultivation foundation to face the Heavenly Daos, the Calamities of Hell, and anything else this world or other worlds decided to throw at him! They truly pushed their limits, testing themselves in unison. But not only that, he could feel his four Astral Souls working as one, as a single family supporting each other in the best way possible.

He no longer held any fear or anger. His silver eyes reflected an unfathomably fierce spirit that radiated from his very soul. He wasn't alone either, and if they were willing to push the tribulation to this limit, then all he had to do was accompany them! If he failed, if he died, so what?

Even if the Soul Pulse Rings were the size of thousands of starfields into one, he would still race through them without hesitation!

"You ready?" Wei Wuyin sent to Ori.

"Yi?!" Shocked, Ori could feel the fierce spirit from Wei Wuyin and soon rumbled with blazing excitement. The elemental origin energies and powerful astral force within started to thrum with a unique frequency. These energies were further bolstered by the might of the other three.

"Yes!" Ori, King, Eden, and Kratos.

While dormant, they sent their voices through Ori at this moment. Wei Wuyin grinned, pressing his foot against the Yellow Rain Continent's mountain peak. With an explosive push, he shot into the air like a hypersonic missile. The mountain peak crumbled!

In moments, he broke through the flimsy Sky Layer of a Continental Flat Earth, entering into the Dark Void. Within a split second, he felt the chaotically hazardous environment envelop him, drenching him in a horrific coldness he'd never felt before. It didn't feel 'cold' but was extremely cold. Such a feeling was so hard to describe that it was impossible.

Because he could feel the heat rays of the three solar stars hitting his skin, but the coldness didn't dissipate. In fact, as he grew further and further away from the continent and deeper into the Dark Void, he felt this coldness increase until he felt it in his bones and spine.

He instinctively tried to breathe, finding a complete absence of oxygen or other breathable gaseous within the world. His eyes bulged outwards, but he soon regulated himself. He used the innate energies within his body to sustain himself, and enveloped his body in Elemental Origin Force, creating a temporary atmospheric layer.

He could feel his astral force conjure an air-like substance within his lungs, feeling much relieved as a result. But he knew this was temporary as the astral force within him was decreasing at an extremely rapid rate! At this rate, even with four one-centimeter Astral Cores supporting him, he'd last less than two minutes!

No wonder the Dark Void was an absolute forbidden zone for all those beneath the Realmlord level! The sustaining of atmospheric conditions was extremely difficult!!

He didn't hesitate to ramp up his speed. He became a white-colored comet that exuded various elemental images as he raced towards the first Soul Pulse Ring. As he got closer, he felt a distinct spiritual pressure exert itself upon his body and Ori. It was extremely oppressive!

He felt his body temporarily slow down as a result, but this only hastened his consumption of energies. For some reason, he felt a wave of dissatisfaction from the dormant Kratos, as if he was offended. Unable to dwell due to the precarious nature, he ignored it and shot off.

If he'd known that Kratos was frustrated that their Bloodline Source exhaustion made them look so fragile, panicked, and fighting against all odds, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. But he'd also be a little shocked.

While his current form wasn't able to exist in the Dark Void, could his Draconified Void Form?

Unfortunately, he couldn't think about this as he reached a few kilometers away from the first ring. A wave of excitement entered his heart, but what happened next caught him off-guard.

Just as he was about to touch the ring, just a few brief moments away, his three dormant Astral Souls abruptly awakened!

"Finally! Our turn!" Kratos roared with excitement. Raging draconic void force circulated throughout his body, resisting the coldness to an even greater degree!

"Tch!" A surge of silver saber force flowed into Wei Wuyin's hands, forming Element without his will. Grasping the saber, his body instinctively released an extremely imposing and kingly aura, as if all things could be brought to the end by his word, by his edge!

"...It's time." Eden had remained completely silent since his decision to undergo his Astral Tribulation. For the first time, it had spoken! And Wei Wuyin could feel that it was the mastermind of what was about to come!

Suddenly, he felt the simultaneous triggering of three Astral Tribulations occur! The world shook for a fragment of a fragment of a second. He could very briefly see with his Celestial Eyes the eight other rings ahead of him vanish instantly without any sort of warning. He'd entered the first ring at this very moment, and he felt himself shift at an unimaginable speed in less than a fraction of a fraction of a second. This was not something he could react to!

He found himself in an unknown location in the Dark Void, carried away by the Manifested Spirit Energies! Before he could get his bearings, a surge of extremely potent spiritual pressure encapsulated him!

When that overbearing force pressured his body and spirit, he couldn't help but freeze in heart-sinking shock. This wasn't because of the pressure, but of what he was currently witnessing! If before the second Soul Pulse Ring was the size of a larger continent, now, he couldn't even see its edge! It was larger than the starfield!! As for the other seven?! He could see them being far larger, thicker, more radiant that he had no comparison of size.

When he realized this, a shiver coursed through his spine as he was reminded of being carried away. With shock and a tiny smidgen of fear in his heart, his head snapped backwards to see the situation behind him. When he did, his heart sunk into impossible depths.

There were three solar stars flickering in the far distance!!!
