Chapter 4896
A Step-by-Step Thrill!
"Again!"
"Again!"
"Again!"
……
Through repeated attempts, Ling Feng continuously learned from experience and perfected all the steps involved in condensing the spiritual singularity.
Having the experience of cultivating singularities before, condensing spiritual singularities now, although different, is still much simpler than starting from scratch.
hum!
With a flash of light, another spiritual singularity was successfully formed above Ling Feng's palm.
The time required to condense the energy has been compressed from the initial eighty breaths to twenty breaths!
This is undoubtedly a huge step forward!
Ling Feng's spirits lifted. "Keep going! We can go even faster! This is far from the limit!"
compression!
He had to compress the time required to condense the spiritual singularity to the extreme.
Eighteen breaths!
Sixteen breaths!
Fifteen breaths!
……
Ten breaths!
Nine breaths!
Eight breaths!!!
……
Ling Feng was completely immersed in the cycle of condensation, dissipation, adjustment, and re-condensation.
Failure is the norm, but each failure deepens his understanding of the characteristics of spiritual energy and makes his grasp of the "resonance" rhythm more precise.
Time flies when you're focused.
Ten times, twenty times, thirty times...
The forty-third attempt.
Ling Feng held his palm up lightly, his intention flowing like mercury onto the ground, perfectly resonating with the spiritual energy within his body.
The pale golden spiritual energy surged out almost joyfully, spinning and intertwining above the palm, forming a tiny golden vortex.
Ling Feng's eyes were calm and unwavering, but at the moment the vortex collapsed to its limit, his will, like a needle, gently touched the most core "singularity" position.
hum-
A soft chime.
A singularity of spiritual energy took shape in an instant.
The whole process was so smooth and seamless, it took only... five breaths!
"Five breaths!"
A dazzling light burst forth in Ling Feng's eyes.
But he didn't stop.
"Not enough, not safe enough. The environment above the darkness is unknown, and the annihilation power might be stronger. We must leave more room for error."
"Five breaths... no, three breaths! Only if it can be compressed to within three breaths can it be truly safe."
Having clarified his goal, Ling Feng once again entered that state of selflessness.
This is an extremely delicate and mentally taxing process, and it certainly takes a toll on one's mental energy.
Sweat kept seeping from his forehead, his face was slightly pale, but his eyes became increasingly sharp.
Finally, after countless attempts, when the faint primordial energy within him was once again activated, everything seemed to become instinctive.
With a thought, the primordial spiritual energy within his body resonated, and the next moment, a perfect and stable spiritual singularity floated above his palm.
Time was condensed, in just two and a half breaths!
"call……"
Ling Feng exhaled a long breath of stale air, which seemed to carry a faint golden light.
He succeeded, not only compressing the time to within three breaths, but even getting close to two breaths!
Moreover, with his leap in control over spiritual energy, the spiritual singularity he has condensed at this moment has a more stable structure and more restrained and pure energy.
He gently sent another newly condensed singularity into the edge of darkness ahead for testing.
This time, the singularity hovered steadily in the dark void, emitting a stable and profound black glow.
One breath, two breaths... ten breaths, eleven breaths... fifteen breaths!
It wasn't until the fifteenth breath that the singularity trembled slightly and slowly began to disintegrate and annihilate.
The duration has also been increased from ten breaths to fifteen breaths!
"very good!"
Ling Feng couldn't help but let out a low shout, his eyes filled with excitement.
The coagulation time is significantly shortened, and the duration of a single point is significantly extended!
This means that its fault tolerance and safety have been greatly improved!
Based on current data calculations, it takes him about three breaths to condense a singularity, while a singularity can last for fifteen breaths in the dark.
Ideally, after he steps onto a platform formed from a singularity, he has a full twelve-breath safety window to condense the next one.
Even after deducting action and reaction time, there are at least four to five chances to try as a margin for error!
That's enough!
Ling Feng clenched his fist, but unfortunately the Creation Spirit was too thin, and he was completely unable to condense multiple Spirit Singularities at the same time.
Therefore, entering that darkness still involves an element of gambling.
But this time, he had to gamble, he had no choice but to gamble!
"We've already wasted too much time here; we must press on with this momentum!"
Ling Feng clenched his fists, looking up at the deep darkness above him, his eyes as firm as iron.
Adjust your breathing to bring yourself to peak condition.
The next moment, his eyes sharpened, and he swung his right palm!
"First stage, begin!"
A spiritual singularity shot out, and the moment it flew into the darkness above, black light spread out and instantly transformed into a thick black stone brick, which hovered steadily above the dark void.
It's now!
Ling Feng lightly tapped his toes on the blue stone steps, then landed steadily on the stone bricks that the singularity had conjured.
The moment he entered this dark space, he sensed a strange force field, as if countless invisible tentacles were wrapped around his body.
Therefore, he can only move upwards one step at a time and cannot jump.
Otherwise, once you lose your footing from this "support point," you will likely be dragged into the dark abyss.
And now his only support is this singularity stone brick beneath his feet.
"call……"
Ling Feng let out a slight breath, feeling somewhat relieved. It seemed his guess was correct.
As long as the stone bricks under your feet are still there, you will be safe and sound.
This singularity of spiritual energy is the key to breaking the deadlock.
His gaze sharpened, and he dared not pause for a moment. The instant he stepped onto the stone brick, his mind had already activated the primordial spiritual energy within him, condensing another spiritual singularity and transforming it into a stone brick.
"Second stage!"
A flash of golden light appeared in his palm, and the second spiritual singularity took shape in the third breath after he stepped onto the stone brick, rising one step upwards just like the original staircase.
Ling Feng lifted his foot and stood firmly. At the same time, the process of condensing the third singularity had begun.
One step, one stage.
First level, one step.
Ling Feng's figure began to slowly ascend above this all-consuming dark abyss, stepping on the stone bricks formed by the singularity of spiritual energy.
The first few dozen steps went exceptionally smoothly.
The stone bricks formed from the spiritual singularity lasted more than fifteen breaths, while Ling Feng climbed one step every three breaths, maintaining a steady rhythm as if ascending on flat ground. He even had the leisure to carefully observe his surroundings.
All around him was an impenetrable darkness, with only the black stone bricks he had created beneath his feet emitting a faint light, and a tiny, seemingly unreachable glimmer of light high above.
Silence was the only theme here, with only the slight sound of his own footsteps and the faint "hiss" of the annihilation of the spiritual singularity.
Loneliness and a sense of oppression are ever-present companions.
But Ling Feng remained steadfast, his gaze fixed solely on the next brick that needed to be fused.
One hundred steps.
One hundred and twenty steps.
When Ling Feng stepped onto the 130th step or so, he keenly noticed that the tremor from the stone bricks beneath his feet seemed to have intensified slightly.
really!
The spiritual singularity, which could originally last for fifteen breaths, began to annihilate at an accelerated rate at this level!
He carefully counted, and found that after about thirteen breaths, the edges of the stone brick beneath his feet had begun to show slight signs of disintegration!
"The power of annihilation is increasing!"
Ling Feng felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't panic. This change was within his expectations, and it even came a little later than he had anticipated.
Fortunately, he had compressed the condensation time to within three breaths in advance. Even if the duration of the singularity is shortened to thirteen breaths, he still has a ten-breath safety window, and the margin for error is still very high.
"continue!"
He kept walking and continued upwards.
Two hundred steps.
Two hundred and fifty steps.
As the altitude increased, the annihilating power emanating from the depths of the dark abyss grew stronger and stronger.
The duration of the spiritual singularity is also constantly shortening.
At the 300th step, the duration was shortened to about ten breaths.
Three hundred and fifty steps, approximately nine breaths.
The duration of the 400th level has been compressed to only seven breaths!
Ling Feng's expression became extremely solemn.
Only seven breaths left!
It takes him three breaths to condense a new singularity. Even if other time consumption is negligible, it still takes him nearly six breaths from the moment he steps onto a stone brick until he successfully creates the next stepping stone.
The total duration of seven breaths, minus the necessary operation time of six breaths, leaves him with only a short margin of error of one breath!
The slightest mistake could prevent him from successfully creating new stone bricks before the old ones were destroyed.
At that moment, he will lose his footing and fall into the abyss!
Now, we've truly reached the brink of life and death, a moment fraught with peril!
Ling Feng unconsciously lowered his breathing, raising his entire focus to the limit.
There was nothing else in his eyes but the calculation of rhythm and the continuous gathering of new spiritual singularities.
Improve!
Improve!
Keep going up!!!
He was precise to the millimeter in every step, pushing his self-control to the limit. After all, even the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin.
Four hundred and twenty steps.
Four hundred and fifty steps.
Four hundred and eighty steps!
The duration of the singularity has been compressed to the limit of six breaths!
Ling Feng's margin for error has also completely become...zero!
Ling Feng's forehead was now covered in sweat.
Fortunately, according to his estimation, he was almost back to the original fracture location.
There are probably only twenty steps left!
He could even vaguely see the steps above, which seemed to be tempting him.
Come on up!
Jump up quickly!
Once you jump up, you'll be safe!
Ling Feng shook his head violently, his will as firm as iron.
He was naturally not swayed, but this also meant that he was about to return to the steps.
close!
Getting closer!
Hope is right in front of us!
"Hang in there! We're almost there!"
Ling Feng gritted his teeth, a crazed glint in his eyes.
He stepped onto the next step, and then, almost without hesitation, began to condense another spiritual singularity.
However, at this very moment, another unexpected event occurred!
The once calm, dark abyss below suddenly began to churn violently without warning, as if a calm sea had been suddenly engulfed by raging waves!
Immediately afterwards, a chilling, malevolent, and terrifying wave, filled with endless destructive energy, erupted from the deepest part of the abyss!
"Roar!!!"
The silent roar exploded deep within Ling Feng's soul, causing his mind to tremble violently and his vision to go black.
Immediately afterwards, a colossal creature emerged from the endless darkness and continued to extend.
It was a gigantic, pitch-black claw covered in hideous bristles!
His five fingers were like towering pillars, their tips curved like hooks, gleaming with a chilling, bone-deep gleam.
The back of its claws was covered with layers of scales, with dark red blood flowing between the gaps. Each bristle was as thick as a spear, twisting wildly, and exuding a chilling aura that could tear apart one's soul.
The moment that demonic claw appeared, Ling Feng felt his blood almost freeze.
What terrifying pressure!
Ling Feng's body stiffened. Although he didn't know what the demonic claw was, he was certain that once it touched him, not only his physical body, but even his soul would be instantly crushed and reduced to nothingness!
Damn it!
Ling Feng was horrified, his scalp tingling. He never expected that such a terrifying being would lurk in this dark abyss!
What made Ling Feng even more breathless was that as soon as the demonic claw appeared, it brought with it the power to crush everything and grabbed towards Ling Feng's location!
fast!
too fast!
Before the claws even arrived, the terrifying force field had already descended.
At this moment, beneath Ling Feng's feet was only a stone brick formed from a singularity, leaving him with no way to avoid it!
Life and death are decided in an instant!
Damn it!
Ling Feng's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and the nascent ancestral vein within his body vibrated wildly, bursting forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light.
In the palm of his hand, the next spiritual singularity had already been formed.
As the enormous, sky-covering demonic claw swept in, Ling Feng knew very well that once it landed, even if he climbed another step, he would still face certain death.
In a flash, Ling Feng made a decision.
He suddenly looked up, staring intently at the enormous demonic claw, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
"Get out of my way!"
He roared and shot the spiritual singularity directly in the opposite direction of the demonic claw.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, the spiritual singularity exploded in the air, transforming into countless fine, black arrows, each tipped with a dazzling golden light, shooting towards the demonic claws like a storm!
This attack, a desperate gamble, completely cut off Ling Feng's last escape route.
hiss hiss hiss hiss—
The jet-black arrows struck the dark scales and bristles of the demonic claw, producing a dense and ear-piercing sound of annihilation.
The spirit arrows continued to dissipate, but the destructive power of the singularity detonation did indeed temporarily intercept the demonic claw.
The bad news was that at that very moment, the stone brick formed from the singularity beneath Ling Feng's feet had begun to gradually become ethereal.
It seems like it could collapse completely at any moment.
Once he loses this only support, Ling Feng will surely die.
This moment came even faster than Ling Feng had imagined!
Just then, Ling Feng felt his footing give way to emptiness. He knew that the stone bricks formed from the spiritual singularity had reached their limit.
The enormous demonic claw had already broken through the rain of arrows that Ling Feng had transformed from his last remaining life force, and it reached out to grab Ling Feng.
Without a doubt, Ling Feng is now in a truly desperate situation.
A state of utter despair! (End of Chapter)
