Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 442: Chapter 296: Storm Zone (2)

Above his Spiritual World, dozens of faintly glowing stars were scattered across the four celestial quadrants.

A faint purple glow seeped out from the dense web of subspace rifts outside, transforming into slender streams of flowing light that entered his body.

Beside him, Fei Lin’s eyes were also shut tight. Her long hair, like a waterfall, swayed gently in the breeze, and a faint, dark purple layer of particles gathered on her skin.

Not far away, Sage floated above the deck. His fiery-red, flame-like body was wreathed in the Power of Void, which swirled around him like tassels.

A little over an hour later, Han Ning slowly opened his eyes, a hint of fatigue within them.

The shimmering purple particles around his body vanished.

’Phew... I never thought that in this dangerous subspace storm zone, the density of Power of Void particles would be so high. It’s Energy that’s become the scarce resource.’

Aside from the dense Power of Space, the concentration of other Elements in the subspace storm zone was extremely low.

Han Ning glanced at his remaining 110,000 Energy reserves and looked away.

These 110,000 points of Energy were the surplus Spiritual Energy he and his three Soul Beasts had spent a full seven days absorbing from the void.

An Energy Core required one million Energy. To create a finished one, he would probably need another ten days.

He suspected it was because the Power of Space was especially active in this region. While here, his speed of absorbing the Power of Void was actually about 30% faster than when he had first entered the surface layer of Subspace.

As Grey entered a normal cruising phase, Han Ning freed up some time to begin tempering the strength of his Soul Beasts.

Right now, for his three Contracted Soul Beasts to break through to the Monarch level, besides comprehending the mysteries of Divine Will, they also needed to raise their strength to Lord IV.

At this moment, Sage, who was off to the side, also slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

His current form was a Spiritual Body, so Han Ning had no idea why he would open his eyes or sigh.

"Using the Power of Void to temper my Spiritual Body is significantly helping me recover my Spiritual Realm. I believe it won’t take even three months for my Spiritual Realm to return to Tier Four." A rare look of joy appeared on Sage’s indifferent face. He reached out and gently clenched his fist.

A golden-red firelight swirled, forming an exquisite flame bird that perched on his shoulder, chirping incessantly.

A complex robe formed of blazing flames swayed in the wind. Paired with his handsome face, he looked like a Divine Being.

"Han Ning, I see your Jade Hook Spirit Wood is about to enter the final Divine Will Comprehension stage of the Lord Level. How much do you understand about ’Divine Will’?" Sage dispersed the scorching flames around him and drifted down beside Han Ning, his tone gentle.

"Not much... I generally know it’s about a Soul Beast projecting its Spiritual Power into its own Soul Techniques, imbuing them with Spirituality to greatly enhance their effects. In practice... it’s very similar to how we cultivate Spiritual Models," Han Ning said after some thought.

He had previously cultivated the "Pseudo-Divine Will" Spiritual Secret Technique, so he had a preliminary understanding of the Divine Intent Realm. At the same time, a flicker of anticipation grew in his heart. ’The great Sage is about to teach me something new.’

"That’s right. It’s having the Soul Beast construct a Spiritual Model, but one that incorporates its own Elemental Spiritual Particles," Sage nodded and explained.

"Generally speaking, the entry-level stage of cultivating Divine Will is to have the Soul Beast construct some relatively simple Spiritual Models in advance to improve its control over Spiritual Power... I see your Soul Beasts are about to pass this stage, so I won’t elaborate further."

"The second step is to choose a Soul Technique with the highest Skill Level. This technique doesn’t need to be Lord Level; Awakening or Extraordinary Level will do. Then, try to integrate some of the Spiritual Models you’ve already comprehended into that Soul Technique."

"In that case... I take it the type of Spiritual Model you integrate is also very specific?"

"Of course!" Sage was about to speak when he suddenly frowned and whipped his head around to look into the distance.

Han Ning, who was opposite him, sensed something was wrong at the same time and turned his head to follow.

In the sky not far away, a sharp, sonic BOOM suddenly echoed.

The two of them followed the sound with their eyes.

Beneath a curtain of dark blue and deep purple lightning crisscrossing through overcast clouds, a massive, blurry figure streaked past in the distance. It was indistinct, but they could faintly make out its deep purple color.

Seeing the fleeting shadow, Sage’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"It’s a Cyan Flame Thunder Tiger."

"A Cyan Flame Thunder Tiger? Wow, if I didn’t have my Spiritual Power enhancing my vision, I wouldn’t have been able to see its path of movement at all..." Han Ning said in surprise.

"See its path? You’re dreaming. That was just an afterimage projected here through countless folded space rifts. The same goes for those massive booms. Its real body is long gone, who knows where."

Sage once again put on his signature "mocking" expression.

Only Han Ning, who was relatively familiar with him, knew that it wasn’t a sneer, but just a peculiar facial expression unique to Sage.

"A Cyan Flame Thunder Tiger capable of traversing subspace storms usually has Emperor Level strength. With your Tier Four Spiritual Power, you can’t possibly track their movements."

Sage shook his head.

"Don’t be fooled by the Cyan Flame Thunder Tiger’s name. The ’Flame’ and ’Thunder’ make people assume it has a terrible temper, but they’re actually quite gentle. They don’t proactively attack creatures in subspace storms and sometimes even help Soul Beasts in distress. Pay it no mind; let’s get back to our topic."

Before he could finish, another series of strange noises reached their ears.

The sky was dim. Endless serpents of lightning surged wildly, and a heavy curtain of rain fell in a torrent, blanketing the earth. The sounds of wind, rain, and thunder rose and fell in succession...

WHOOOOSH...

Suddenly, Han Ning’s ears twitched. Amidst the sounds of wind, thunder, and rain, he thought he heard something else.

’Hmm? What’s this...’

He listened intently for a moment.

’It’s the sound of a surging tide.’

The sound of the rolling tide grew louder and louder, gradually overpowering the sound of the rain and filling his ears.

Illuminated by a flash of lightning that streaked across the sky, a colossal wave, thousands of meters high, had risen from the sea to the northeast!

And at the crest of that wave stood a deep blue Energy Body, only a little over ten meters tall.

’What’s that now?’

Seeing the figure wreathed in endless water vapor, Han Ning took a few steps forward, trying to get a clearer view of it.

The creature opposite him seemed to sense his gaze. In a flash, it turned a pair of eyes that looked like they were made of the finest blue sapphires toward Han Ning, and then—

It opened its cavernous mouth, and a terrifying fluctuation of Energy gathered within.

In an instant, a beam of bluish-purple Energy, as thick as a bucket, shot toward Han Ning’s position.

"Damn it, is that a Heavy Water Fluctuation? Fall back!" Sage, who was beside him, recognized the distant creature. He quickly grabbed Han Ning’s arm and retreated rapidly into Grey’s body, shouting unceremoniously as he ran.

"That’s a Sunflower Water Elf, a B Talent Pure Elemental Soul Beast! Due to spatial distortion, we’re at least a ten-day journey away from it. For its Soul Skills to penetrate multiple space rifts and approach us at a visible speed, its strength must be at least close to the Emperor level!"

For the first time, a tense expression appeared on Sage’s face.

However, the menacing beam of light was disrupted by an unseen force several hundred meters in front of them, exploding into a shower of blue light particles.

"High energy warning! A strong Energy flow is approaching! Please prepare defensive measures!!"

The Sunflower Water Elf’s sudden attack had instantly triggered the warning system on the Demon Whale.

A sharp, piercing alarm blared through the air.

From the building up ahead, the sound of hurried footsteps gradually grew louder.

Seeing this, Sage’s expression relaxed slightly. "Thankfully, its strength is a bit lacking. At most, it’s a Monarch who has just begun to understand Soul Force. It shouldn’t be able to break our Defense Array."

"Are the Soul Beasts in the Purple Crystal World all this strong? Any random one is a Monarch approaching the Emperor level?" Han Ning recalled his Soul Beasts, his expression grim.

"You just need to remember one thing: no Soul Beast that can survive in a subspace storm is weak. Even in the Purple Crystal World, this region is considered a Forbidden Land."

In the distance, the Sunflower Water Elf, seeing its first attack fail, opened its mouth again. An even more intense glow of Energy began to gather.
