Outside the Crimson Devil Realm, in the Spatial Void.
”Hm?” The sensation of urgency was increasing by the second. Yan Zaizen stood calmly within the spatial void, his hands punching forth. As each punch was thrown, a burst of spacetime-based heavenly might would surge forth and pierce a thin barrier. As it was pierced, he would fly through it, only to meet another barrier.
”This spatial array is astonishing…” Yan Zaizen couldn't help but praise despite the mounting nervousness within his heart. The current obstacle before him was a multi-layered barrier of space, restricting all access from any medium.
Even if he tried to bypass it from the Non Universe, he would still meet obstruction. In truth, the issue had to do with the way the barrier worked. There was a vast amount of thin barriers layered a certain distance away from each other, but when they are destroyed or pierced through, that barrier dissipates, and another barrier formulates several barriers down.
This created a never-ending cycle of barriers. Even Yan Zaizen, with his comprehension of spacetime, found this impossible to overcome in a short period. ”This sensation keeps piling on.” Biting his lips, he tried other methods, but all ended in failure.
”What is this sensation?” Pinaka asked, realizing that Yan Zaizen kept verbalizing his thoughts, indicating his tense nerves. This was truly the first time she had saw him act this way.
”It's hard to describe,” Yan Zaizen said. He tapped out, causing a surging wave of endless time energy to flow. This time energy permeated into the barrier, and he pierced through. As he did, the barrier's deconstruction was slowed, which meant the barrier's reconstruction later should be delayed.
”It's like...if I'm late, some things in my life will cease to be a reality.” Yan Zaizen tried to explain, but it truly was hard to describe a feeling. ”But...I also feel that if I do make it on time, then...I'll lose something.” This feeling was insanely vague, borderline impossible to decipher. He didn't know the importance of his feeling, but both sides seemed to cause him to suffer. Despite this, he continued to try various methods.
”Cease to be a reality? Lose something?” Pinaka's lovely brows furrowed, her mind trying to get a more precise feel towards Yan Zaizen's soul, but it was impossible. They may be linked by their dao and have soul linked via intimacy, but feelings based on instincts like these were still vague and uncertain.
”What do you think you should do?” Pinaka decided to ask. She could see that Yan Zaizen was trying, but not too strongly. His attempts were swift, eliminating ineffectual methods, but his mind was holding back.
The time energy that surged forth indeed delayed the formation, but by too little to matter. Therefore, this method was eliminated.
”...” This was the first time that his instincts left him at a crossroads, leaving him with no good choices. ”If I lose something, I can gain it back, but if things in my life cease to be a reality, then I can only regret.” His voice was calm, but it was tinged with a bit of sadness.
His senses entered his soul, looking at Pinaka, who sat beautifully within.
Thump.
His heart deeply pounded once. A flash of despair, madness, and obsession surged in his pupils. These emotions were rarely seen in Yan Zaizen, not having been shown since that fateful day on the grassy knolls. However, it had flashed for a short period that could not be registered by any entity of this world, not even Yan Zaizen.
Pinaka noticed Yan Zaizen's spiritual sense, her eyes looked at where it was. A smile so beautiful that it could cause all things bright in the multiverse to dim beside it formed. ”If that's the case, then you have your answer. Now, stop holding back.” Berating, she closed her eyes to attune to Yan Zaizen's senses more clearly.
”Mhm.” Nodding in response, he stopped using his heavenly might and touched a barrier with his hand. A black hole formed at his glabella. This black hole seemed infinitely deep and boundless.
”My bloodline is divided into two aspects, the Law of Mimicry and the Black Hole. The black hole can devour physicality, spirituality, and essence. Essence being laws.” As he recalled his act of consuming the Non Universe's core essence, he felt enlightened.
”Essence, my glabella. Spirituality, my eyes. Physicality, my hands.” the black hole in his glabella swirled. This swirl was slow, but it was like a world eater of all things. As it swirled, the spatial barriers and even the spatial void started to contort as if it was gum being pulled.
”This bloodline is vastly inferior to the protection of my existence, like a drop of water in a planet of water. Incomparable.” This was something he understood, as his bloodline was heavily connected to the strength of his soul, hence it being a soul bloodline.
However, after reached the Perfect Astral Soul Realm, his soul bloodline could not be described as before. If he had devoured the Non Universe, it would've been thousands of times greater, yet still, it was incomparable to the original black hole.
The spatial barrier distortions started to increase, in a split second, he had directly devoured half the strength of an entire barrier. Not only was it thin, but it was nearly transparent. ”Good!” Seeing it work, he narrowed the area of effect, limiting it to just around his body.
He stepped forth, exploding with maximum speed like a comet, blazing through the spatial void with no hindrance. As he devoured sections of each barrier, a vast amount of energy was lost and thus, the reforming was heavily delayed. Before long, Yan Zaizen penetrated the last barrier, his eyes bright.
