Chapter 706 – Reaching Black Hole Revolving Core

“Xingxuan, what is it?”

“Ah, nothing’s wrong… ” Qin Xingxuan quickly shook her head. But, this action of hers looked as if she wanted to hide something.

Lin Ming’s mind stirred. He wanted to say something but eventually didn’t.

Qin Xingxuan carefully took the jade box and placed it in her spatial ring. With these treasures, in addition to her current talent, it wouldn’t be any problem at all for her to reach Life Destruction in the future.

Lin Ming said, “Xingxuan, it’s getting late; I’ll return to my room first.”

“Mm, alright.” Qin Xingxuan nodded and then escorted Lin Ming out.

A night passed without words. The next morning, Lin Ming took his parents and little sister along with Qin Xingxuan and Mu Qianyu to return to the Giant Leviathan’s dimension. The 90-mile-long Giant Leviathan flew high in the sky, soaring towards the South Sea Demon Region.

Lin Ming’s plan was to go to the South Sea Demon Region and dig up their medicine garden. The last time he went there he had simply plundered away all the medicinal herbs, but he hadn’t taken away the spiritual earth. Lin Ming intended to go back and finish the job.

After the South Sea Demon Region had suffered such a catastrophe, they had already learned from their mistakes. They now had a formation of spread-out scouts, and when Lin Ming reached the 5000 mile border of the South Sea Demon Region, the scouts discovered him and relayed the news.

When Xuan Yuqie received this true essence sound transmission, her face turned green with hate. She had never thought that after a mere half a month Lin Ming would ride the Giant Leviathan back and attack the South Sea Demon Region again!

If this could be tolerated, what else couldn't be?

Bang!

The chair Xuan Yuqie was sitting on burst into pieces from her anger. She was so mad that she could feel her stomach twisting into queasy knots. But this time, besides escaping, there was nothing else she could do.

Grinding her shiny teeth together, Xuan Yuqie calmly issued an order. “All South Sea Demon Region martial artists heed my orders. Cease all training and immediately leave the three Demon Region islands. Gather at the Abyssal Islands 1600 miles away!”

“Ah?” The Elder in charge of relaying orders was stunned. He was about to ask what had happened when Xuan Yuqie angrily shouted, “What are you doing, hurry up!”

The Elder quickly relayed the orders, frightened.

After the only person left was Xuan Yuqie, she felt nauseous from the anger raging in her heart. “Lin Ming, you have gone too far! You and I are irreconcilable enemies!”

……………

By the time Lin Ming arrived in the South Sea Demon Region, all of the martial artists had already left. This somewhat surprised Lin Ming. He slowly ordered the Giant Leviathan to fly towards the South Sea Demon Region’s medicine garden and discovered that there weren’t many medicinal herbs left. It seemed that almost everything had already been carried off by the South Sea Demon Region martial artists in their hasty retreat.

Lin Ming faintly smiled, not caring much. He hadn’t come for those trashy herbs to begin with. What he had come for was the spiritual earth.

The South Sea Demon Region’s medicine garden was already larger than the one in Yin Yang Profound palace; it was a full two square miles. Lin Ming sent out 400 to 500 tentacles, digging out the entire garden by the roots, and then took away as much as the Giant Leviathan could.

1600 miles away on a deserted island, Xuan Yuqie was watching all of this take place through the phantom shadows of an array disc. Her lungs nearly exploded with rage on the spot. Before she left, she'd had everyone pack up all their belongings and everything else valuable. It was only the medicine garden’s spiritual earth that she hadn’t thought to bring away, as it was impossible to do so to begin with. Now, Lin Ming was even looting that!

He was simply a locust!

Wherever he went, everything was destroyed!

Her full milky white breasts fiercely heaved up and down. Xuan Yuqie roared, “Lin Ming, I hope you f*cking die!”

……………..

Lin Ming commanded the Giant Leviathan to head tens of thousands of miles deep into the South Sea. There, the great beast began to slowly submerge downward. The Giant Leviathan was a Saint Beast of the vast sea to begin with; it could dive hundreds of thousands of feet deep.

At such depth, the water pressure was terrifying. Even a first stage Life Destruction powerhouse would be greatly weakened if they had to fight in such an environment.

However, the Giant Leviathan was able to regulate the pressure within and outside of its body, freely moving in the deep sea.

At this time, Lin Ming was sitting in the dimension between the Giant Leviathan’s eyes, his eyes shut. In front of him were two high-grade earth-step Demon God Bones.

“Boy, are you planning to make a breakthrough in your boundary?” Demonshine’s voice asked in Lin Ming’s mind.

Lin Ming had broken into Revolving Core when he had first entered the Eternal Demon Abyss. Now, over half a year had already passed. Lin Ming had gone to train for one month in the ancient tomb of the goddess inside the 1000 mile forbidden zone. He had reached the great success of the early Revolving Core realm. Afterward, he had formed his 12-winged Heavenly Demon Tattoo, and his cultivation had reached the peak of early Revolving Core. Now, with the support of these high-grade earth-step Demon God Bones, it wouldn’t be any problem for him to breakthrough to the middle Revolving Core realm, thus why Demonshine had asked this question.

However, Lin Ming actually shook his head and said, “No, I plan on forming a Black Hole Revolving Core first, then I will consider making a breakthrough. Every day I don’t form a Black Hole Revolving Core will be another day when I don’t make a breakthrough.”

The so-called Black Hole Revolving Core was when one’s foundation reached the pinnacle. All of the true essence pellets and other energies within the dantian would completely condense onto the crystal core, without leaving anything aside. This would create perfect Revolving Core. This sort of Revolving Core was like a black hole; it was only an entry, and the attraction force was also much greater.

For a martial artist who reached Black Hole Revolving Core, not only was the overall true essence in their dantian far greater than normal, but the speed at which they absorbed heaven and earth origin energy was that much faster than other martial artists. There was simply no comparison between the two.

“Heh! Well said! If your foundation is not solid then you will easily encounter bottlenecks in your future cultivation. The most important thing to you is not to make a break through, but to build up your foundation! I estimate that Xuan Wuji still has several months before he can leave his seclusion. That should be enough for you to reach Black Hole Revolving Core,”Demonshine said, appreciatively.

These past years, although Demonshine had been unable to help too much in the material world, he had still been able to guide and direct Lin Ming so that he would take fewer detours on his martial arts path.

Lin Ming sat down cross-legged and took out a high-grade earth-step Demon God Bone. Then, he began to absorb the incomparably pure energy contained within it.

With the support of this energy, the scattered true essence crystals that freely floated in the gaseous energy around the Revolving Core began to slowly condense, falling onto the surface of the Revolving Core.

This was an extremely arduous and time-consuming process, because the true essence crystal pellets were like stars in the sky. Not only that, but once these crystal pellets fell onto the Revolving Core’s surface they, could also fall off again, forcing Lin Ming to redo the process.

In order to overcome these difficulties, he had to continuously reinforce the compression process.

And in order to do all this, it required a massive amount of time and energy. If he didn’t have these high-grade earth-step Demon God Bones supporting him, then Lin Ming might have needed one or two years to become successful.

Thus, no matter how much of a monstrous talent one was, it was impossible to continue without the support of resources. Like that, one would only waste their potential before completely vanishing.

Training was a boring and lonesome process. Day after day passed. Because Lin Ming entered the ethereal martial intent state, he was able to rid himself of outside distractions, and fully focus his thoughts on consolidating his foundation. Because he had taken some fasting pills before this, Lin Ming didn’t even need to eat or drink. In fact, he didn’t even need to move.

Ten days…

One month…

Two months…

Lin Ming seemed to have turned into a statue. If it weren’t for the fact that there was no dust in the Giant Leviathan’s dimension, he would have already become covered with a thick layer of it.

Finally, after two and a half months, the last several true essence crystals, underneath the energy compression of the Demon God Bone, had cleanly settled onto the Revolving Core.

In that instant, there was a sudden change!

The Revolving Core that was uniformly spinning suddenly seemed as if it couldn’t withstand its own attractive force. It emitting crackling ‘ka ka ka’ sounds. Lin Ming’s Revolving Core had begun to break!

However, these were not mere cracks, but rather the entire crystal core collapsing!

In the moment when the Revolving Core began to collapse, Lin Ming gave a stuffy cough and his body shook. He felt as if his heart had been grasped by a demonic claw, and it was being squeezed to a pulp!

Because he had lost control of all the energy within his body. It furiously and violently raced through his meridians as if it wanted to break out of his body. His hands, feet, muscles, everything seemed as if it would explode. In that instant, Lin Ming even thought he would die there.

“Lin Ming, don’t worry! This is because your Revolving Core broke apart and temporarily lost its function. Once it reforms, you will be able to control your energy again.” Demonshine’s voice sounded out in Lin Ming’s mind. After a martial artist reached the Houtian realm, true essence would fully fuse into their body. But, the area where true essence gathered and condensed, the dantian, would become a martial artist’s greatest weakness. Once the dantian broke apart then a martial artist would immediately die.

Lin Ming was now almost in this situation.

Soon, Lin Ming couldn’t even breath. His heart stopped beating and all the blood froze in him. Lin Ming was distressed to the extreme. However, he couldn’t even make a painful expression, because he had lost control of the muscles in his face. action

This state continued for a full 10 breaths' time. When his perception began to fade away, the shattered Revolving Core in his body suddenly burst out with a blazing black light. From its original walnut size, it shrunk to the size of a quail egg. The speed it was spinning at increased by several times, and it had turned from a dark gray to an absolute matte black.

After the new Revolving Core formed, the lost control flushed back into Lin Ming like a surging tide. The true essence within his meridians started circulating again and his blood flow returned to normal. His entire body trembled and he fell to the floor, panting and breathing in great gulps of air. That feeling was just like dying.

“Boy, you’ve really done it this time! When the Demon Emperor was still on this planet, even he hadn’t reached this level!” Demonshine’s tone was somewhat sour. He couldn’t help but be a bit jealous of Lin Ming’s talent and ridiculously solid foundation. In the future, Lin Ming’s achievements would truly be limitless.

Lin Ming sat on the ground for a while as he caught his breath. As he examined his dantian, he found the new Revolving Core there. It was pitch black, without the slightest sheen to it, as if it were a portal that led to another time and space.

A Revolving Core was similar to a star. If the total mass was the same and the radius was smaller, then the gravitational force would be comparatively stronger.

Right now, Lin Ming’s Revolving Core was able to attract surrounding heaven and earth origin energy several times faster than before. Lin Ming could faintly feel the origin energy within the Giant Leviathan constantly gathering around him. Even if Lin Ming didn’t take the initiative to absorb it, this energy would still be swallowed up by the Black Hole Revolving Core, quietly settling on the surface and becoming a part of his cultivation.

This is the self-cultivation of the Black Hole Revolving Core?” Lin Ming was shocked. When a martial artist formed a Black Hole Revolving Core, because of its greater ability to attract energy, it could automatically train itself. Even in this aspect alone, it absolutely left all other ordinary Revolving Core martial artists in the dust!
