285: Chapter 285 Born at Mid-Level Sixth Rank in Just Ten Days

The hundred-meter-wide eggshell floated quietly in the lava.

The eggshell was a treasure, containing rich Bloodline essence and world Origin.

Eating it would be a great tonic.

Lin Yun opened his massive maw and activated his Devouring Talent.

The space in front of his mouth began to warp, as if an invisible hand were kneading the space, bunching it together.

The warped space formed a vortex, and at the center of the vortex was a black dot—the core of the Devouring Power.

The eggshell was sucked toward it, slowly shrinking from its hundred-meter length, getting smaller and smaller until it became a tiny speck and vanished into the Diyang Giant Beast's mouth.

The surrounding lava was also sucked in. Countless torrents of magma poured into the vortex, decomposed by the Devouring Power into pure energy, and entered the Internal World within the Life Core along with the eggshell.

Inside the Internal World, flames surged.

After the eggshell entered the Internal World, it rapidly decomposed, turning into the purest energy to be absorbed by the world of flames.

The diameter of the Flame World grew rapidly: ten kilometers, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen kilometers.

It stopped at fifteen kilometers.

Simultaneously, the body of the Diyang Giant Beast was also enlarging rapidly.

One hundred meters, one hundred and fifty, two hundred, two hundred and fifty, three hundred meters.

It stopped at three hundred meters.

Its scales became heavier and thicker, its claws sharper, and its wings broader.

The three-hundred-meter-long red giant beast floated in the lava like a mobile mountain range.

Lin Yun felt the power of the Diyang Giant Beast, and a sense of peerless pride welled up in his heart.

That was...

Pure, unadulterated invincibility.

Even though he was only at the Early Stage of Rank 6, he could swallow a Late Stage Rank 6 Soul Ant in a single bite.

No combat was needed, no techniques required—one bite was enough.

Once the Devouring Talent was activated, the Soul Ant wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

Lin Yun spoke, his voice echoing through the lava and reaching the ears of Wang Tianming and the Soul Ant dozens of kilometers away: "Go wait outside the planet."

As if granted a grand reprieve, Wang Tianming hurriedly rose and flew outward without looking back.

The Soul Ant also followed quickly, its six legs paddling frantically through the lava, moving even faster than Wang Tianming.

Once they were far away, Lin Yun activated his Devouring Talent with full force.

He was hungry.

Having just been born, a single eggshell was nowhere near enough to fill him up.

He now needed a massive amount of energy to replenish his body's consumption, expand his Internal World, and raise his cultivation.

Devouring Talent: fully open.

The surrounding lava surged toward the Diyang Giant Beast like a bursting dam.

Lava for dozens of kilometers around began to flow, swirl, and be sucked in.

The vortex was incredibly massive, covering an area of over a hundred kilometers.

The magma churned within the vortex, letting out a deafening roar.

The temperature rose and the pressure increased, but Lin Yun didn't care.

He only wanted to eat, eat, and eat.

Lava entered his body and was decomposed by the Devouring Power, turning into the purest fire energy and flooding into the Internal World within his Life Core.

The Flame World expanded: fifteen kilometers, sixteen, seventeen.

The Diyang Giant Beast's body also grew: three hundred meters, three hundred and fifty, four hundred.

Lin Yun ate for three days straight.

Three days and three nights without sleep or rest, constantly devouring, constantly eating.

The surrounding lava was eaten clean, and a massive void appeared within a thousand-kilometer radius.

There was no lava, only empty space.

At the edges of the void, lava flowed slowly, attempting to fill the gap, but it was quickly sucked away by the Devouring Power again.

After three days, Lin Yun was finally full.

He could devour no more.

He stopped and let out a satisfied burp.

A blast of scorching air erupted from his mouth, forming a long pillar of fire in the void.

So full.

Another seven days passed, and everything was fully digested.

The Internal World now had a diameter of twenty kilometers.

Flames surged and energy was abundant.

The red patterns on the Life Core had increased and darkened, almost covering the entire crystalline sphere.

The Diyang Giant Beast's body ballooned to five hundred meters tall. Its scales were crimson, as if forged from divine fire, and its pressure shook the surroundings.

Cultivation: Middle Stage of Rank 6.

Lin Yun felt the power of the Diyang Giant Beast and felt incredibly refreshed.

Middle Stage of Rank 6.

From the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of Rank 6, it only took ten days.

Devouring was truly fast.

...

In the days that followed, Lin Yun led a dual-track life.

On one side, the Diyang Giant Beast was devouring and growing on Magic Eye Planet; on the other, Lin Yun's original body was cultivating and accompanying his family on Qilin Planet.

Two bodies, two perspectives, two lives.

The heat the Diyang Giant Beast felt while devouring lava could also be felt by Lin Yun's original body.

The tenderness Lin Yun's original body felt while holding his wives could also be felt by the Diyang Giant Beast.

Two completely different experiences intertwined and fused within the same consciousness, making his life incredibly rich.

During the day, Lin Yun's original body would meditate on Space Elements in the cultivation room.

Sitting cross-legged with eyes closed and mind focused, his Divine Thought expanded to its limit, sensing the fluctuations in space that were so subtle they almost didn't exist.

Space Elements were not like fire elements—scorching, violent, and easy to perceive.

They were very quiet and gentle.

Like a transparent membrane, they wrapped around everything and permeated everything.

Visible yet untouchable, perceptible yet ungraspable.

Far away on Magic Eye Planet, the Diyang Giant Beast stopped devouring to fully cooperate with the original body in sensing the Space Elements.

The Diyang Giant Beast was naturally attuned to Space Elements, with a perception of space dozens of times more acute than a human's.

That affinity was transmitted to Lin Yun's original body through the Soul link, making his perception of Space Elements much clearer.

But even so, breaking through to Rank 5 using Space Elements was still very difficult.

Space was a higher-order element, usually requiring one to reach Rank 8 to comprehend it.

For him, a Rank 4, to try and use Space Elements to Breakthrough to Rank 5 was in itself a Heaven-Defying act.

At night, Lin Yun's original body would share intimate moments with his wives.

The lights in the master bedroom stayed on late into the night every evening.

With the support of the Chaos Yin-Yang Taiyi Scripture, every session of Dual Cultivation steadily increased the cultivation of both parties.

Fortunately, Lin Yun had the System.

Producing offspring came with rewards.

Especially now that his Martial Arts Talent was at the Low Grade Heaven-Grade; the minimum talent of his offspring was also Low Grade Heaven-Grade.

The System rewards were incredibly rich: Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, weapons, and Heaven And Earth Treasures filled his Space Ring.

But what proved most useful to Lin Yun were actually the most basic ones.

Ten-year Martial Arts Cultivation Insight Soul Spheres.

Over the next two years, his fifty-one wives gave birth to one hundred and two children for Lin Yun.

Fifty-one births per year, one child per birth—no more, no less.

One hundred and two newborns meant one hundred and two Soul Spheres, all of which were absorbed by Lin Yun.

His total number of children reached three hundred and forty-three.

Martial arts cultivation insights: three thousand four hundred and thirty years.

Three thousand four hundred and thirty years of cultivation experience, combat experience, and understanding of the Martial Dao.

Lin Yun felt that he was no longer a young man in his thirties, but an old monster who had lived for over three thousand years.

On this day, Lin Yun entered seclusion once more, sitting quietly in the cultivation room to calm his mind and prepare to charge for the Rank 5 Realm.
