King Of Chaos

"Spiritarium?"

Ling Xiaolong endured the excruciating pain and made a mental note of the nof the Cosmic Field mentioned by the Abyss Emperor.

He had once believed that Chaos was the sole Cosmic Field, the only Realm of Existence in the infinite darkness.

However, not long ago, he learned that the Abyss was another Cosmic Field, another Realm of Existence separate from Chaos.

Later, after devouring the soul of an Abyssal, he discovered that the Abyss Emperor had devoured hundreds of Realms of Existence similar to Chaos.

Now that the Abyss Emperor was discussing these Realms of Existence, how could he not listen attentively?

Although he was enduring inhuman pain, his strength allowed him to multitask. While part of him endured the pain, another part rapidly devised a solution for the Red Particles affecting his soul. Now that the Abyss Emperor was speaking, yet another part of him focused on listening to the Abyss Emperor's words.

It can be said that merging three individuals into one has its advantages.

It is a widely accepted belief that a person can only think about one thing at a time. There is no way for a person, regardless of their strength, to think about multiple things simultaneously.

This limitation is primarily due to our brain structure. With only one brain, we are inherently limited to processing one thought at a time. Of course, there are races with more than one brain. They could also think more than one matter at a tand do things more efficiently.

However, after the fusion of Ye Xiao, Qin Feng, and Ling Xiaolong #1, Ling Xiaolong gained the ability to think about multiple things simultaneously. This could be considered a remarkable ability to have.

This is also the reason why Ling Xiaolong was able to focus on listening to the Abyss Emperor's words very clearly and note down all his words.

The Abyss Emperor was probably thinking that even if he were to say these secrets, Ling Xiaolong might not understand or even listen carefully because he is focusing on enduring the pain and trying to find a way to suppress the Red Particles.

The Abyss Emperor said, "Spiritarium is a very unique Cosmic Field, one of its kind. I have been to hundreds of Cosmic Fields and have devoured them all. The Spiritarium was the only Cosmic Field that I dare not lay my hands on."

As he spoke, he stopped for a while and shifted his attention from Ling Xiaolong to the sky reflecting the lights of stars. Of course, these 'stars' were actually Lands of Ling Xiaolong's Chaos.

He knew that even if Ling Xiaolong was listening and understanding his words, he would not be able to answer. So he continued after a while, seemingly lost in deep thought, as if recalling his tthere.

"Spiritarium is a Cosmic Field where warriors can only cultivate their souls. Just like in Chaos, Spiritarium hosts countless races, but none focus on cultivating energy; their sole focus is on soul cultivation."

"We Abyssals, and you, a creature of Chaos, primarily cultivate energy. While we can also cultivate our souls, we lag far behind compared to the beings of Spiritarium in this aspect."

"Oh, there's a race called Spiritas in your Chaos who also focus solely on soul cultivation. That's a truly unique race, rare to find in other Cosmic Fields. However, I can guarantee that even the Spiritas of Chaos understand only about 20% of soul cultivation compared to the beings of Spiritarium. Well, this 20% is already unimaginable for both of us, despite the fact that we possess strength capable of completely destroying a Cosmic Field."

Ling Xiaolong's breathing hurried. It was mainly due to his soul being poisoned at a fast speed, but part of the reason was also the information he learned from the Abyss Emperor.

Abyss Emperor once again shifted his attention. He looked at Ling Xiaolong's painful face and then waved his hand.

Rustle! Rustle!

In the void of darkness, with dim light reflecting from the Reflection of Chaos, red particles began to dance wildly. They grew larger and stronger, quickly spreading across thousands of miles of the void.

Yet, they avoided touching Ling Xiaolong. Ling Xiaolong was already suffering. If such a large amount of red particles were to cinto contact with him, his soul would be completely corrupted.

Abyss Emperor took a deep breath and sighed, "Even though I am the King of Abyss, possessing strength strong enough to potentially destroy Spiritarium, my soul would have been annihilated before I could even contemplate making a move against them."

"This is because creatures of Spiritarium possess souls of such unimaginable strength. Believewhen I say they could easily connect their soul force with ours and read our memories without us even realizing it. They could also use our Life Force and Soul Force as guides to locate our Cosmic Field. Their soul force is truly frightening. The only way to counter them is to possess an equally strong Soul Force."

"When I discovered Spiritarium, I was filled with excitement, eager to add yet another Realm of Existence to my conquests. However, upon entering that Cosmic Field, I immediately sensed the absence of Chaos Energy, Celestial Energy, Abyssal Energy, and more. Instead, the very air of that Realm seemed infused with Soul Energy, the source that could be absorbed for strengthening souls and Soul Force. I soon learned that absorbing 1,000 units of Soul Energy could be converted into 1 unit of Soul Force."

As if he suddenly realized that he missed something, he stopped and slapped his forehead, between his two horns.

"Oh, I forgot to mention. Perhaps due to the unique nature of my soul or the inherent Soul Energy permeating the void of Spiritarium that is like a spying tool for creatures of Spiritarium, I was immediately detected by the powerful beings inhabiting that Cosmic Field the moment I arrived. They immediately arrived in front ofand started investigating. Although they were weaker thanin the cultivation of strength, I couldn't shake off the looming sense of danger emanating from them. It was so intense that my soul trembled violently."

"As the saying goes, where there is light, there is darkness. That Cosmic Field is not devoid of darkness. Upon my arrival, the self-proclaimed righteous forces sought to apprehendand subjectto interrogation. They even threatened to delve into my soul if I refused to cooperate, bombardingwith questions about my presence in Spiritarium, my origins, and my intentions. Blah! Blah! Blah!"

Abyss Emperor suddenly smiled, his smile seemed to be the reflection of pure evil.

Stopping for a few seconds, he continued, "Fortunately, Spiritarium harbors dark forces as well. Upon my entry, my darkness was sensed by them. They intervened, freeingand spiritingaway. It was during that tthat I gleaned insights into Spiritarium and Soul Cultivation. I also cto realize my own vulnerability. I learned how vulnerable I am despite possessing strength formidable enough to obliterate and conscountless Cosmic Fields. It was then that I resolved to ascend to a level beyond that of the King of Abyss."

"Since I myself am an embodiment of darkness, the ruler of Abyss, those dark forces felt connected to me. We exchanged information. I gave them valuable information that could cause a rapid increase in their strength, and they taughthow to cultivate my soul."

"However, as a foreign entity, Spiritarium itself did not accept me. It's a pity I couldn't harness Soul Energy to bolster my Soul Force. Yet, after years of relentless research, I eventually developed my own Soul Skill."

With great difficulty, Ling Xiaolong spoke two words, "R-red Par_ticles..."

"You are smart!"

Abyss Emperor praised Ling Xiaolong and laughed loudly.

"It seems my words are not wasted on you. You were listening to me. It is just that I don't know how much you understood. Anyway, I'll clear all your doubts before devouring you."

"Yes, the red particles are not actually particles but the manifestation of an ability born from my Soul Force. It's an ability I created back in Spiritarium. This ability is called the Soul Abyss."

"Once your soul is completely contaminated, you will feel as if falling into the depthless abyss and being consumed by billions, even trillions, of Abyssals. You will feel as though your soul is slowly being torn into pieces and your soul force is being extracted bit by bit. The pain you will experience will be a hundred times worse than what you are suffering now."

"This is also the reason why I named this ability: the Soul Abyss."

"I learned multiple things about souls from them. Later, I left Spiritarium because staying there would be of no use to me. After all, it was much better to find other Cosmic Fields and devour them instead of wasting my tthere."
