Chapter 202: A Blessing in Disguise

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a series of explosions, the bottom of the toxic abyss had turned into a sea of flames. The crystals that could give birth to toxic monsters had completely disappeared. Even the green poisonous gas that covered the entire space before had been pushed into the space above by the high temperature.

Vincent quickly took advantage of the rare opportunity. He took in a deep breath and immediately smelled a rotten stench. Fortunately, he was still able to maintain his normal breathing.

After receiving some oxygen, Vincent calmly observed his surroundings again. He discovered that in the center of the space, at the bottom of the abyss, laid a green crystal. It was unmoving in the flames and showed no signs of being burned.

What surprised Vincent, even more, was that the crystal seemed different. The light inside was not flickering, but it was always bright. Moreover, there was not a single monster that was born. It was obviously not something that originally existed in the space.

“Could this be the key to breaking the Protoss’s restriction?”

Vincent suddenly thought of what the Protoss had said and could not help but make a connection. He walked forward to carefully examine the crystal.

During that time, the flames had gradually extinguished, and the green poisonous gas swept over once again. Vincent seized the opportunity to take another breath and released psionic power to protect himself.

However, what surprised him was that the poisonous gas did not spread around the green crystal. It was as if the crystal could isolate the poisonous gas!

Vincent withdrew his psionic power boldly and exposed his skin to the air. He found out that he was not poisoned. This proved his guess.

Regardless of whether this crystal was key to lifting the restriction, it was necessary for Vincent to bring it along with him. Otherwise, Vincent would not be able to move an inch in this toxic abyss!

Vincent lifted the crystal and felt its weight. He then took out a strap and tied the crystal tightly. He put it on his back and let out a long sigh of relief.

He had successfully completed the first step of entering the toxic abyss. Not only did he clear out the monsters at the bottom, but he had also found a way to stop the poisonous gas. Next, he could try to climb the endless abyss!

Vincent looked up at the surrounding mountain walls and saw countless level two and above creatures climbing down the walls. It was as if the strange creatures that suddenly appeared wanted to eat him.

“In order to make the Black Hole more stable, you creatures without intelligence and cruelty can only die!”

Vincent pulled out his Purgatory Blade and shouted at them indifferently.

All the monsters on the mountain wall seemed to have sensed Vincent’s killing intent. They roared. They then attacked and charged towards Vincent from all directions.

Vincent’s lips curled up slightly. He was least afraid of the Monster Horde tactics because he himself was an army!

“Spirit capturing and commanding!”

Vincent roared. Countless black shadows emerged from his body and instantly turned into a hundred thousand monster army. They whistled as they charged towards the surrounding poisonous monsters.

The poisonous green gas around him could not cause any damage to the monsters in their soul state. In terms of pure strength, Vincent’s soul army was also higher than the low-level monsters around him.

Therefore, the battle was one-sided from the beginning. Countless poisonous monsters were torn into pieces and fell from the sky. They turned into green rain that filled the sky.

Vincent raised his Purgatory Blade and formed a fire cloud above his head in order to block the poisonous liquid in the sky. He looked at the corpses under his feet quietly and could not help but have a thought.

Although these poisonous monsters were underground, they must have a better understanding of this poisonous abyss. Presumably, their souls would be very useful to him.

Vincent raised his other hand and pointed at the poisonous monsters on the ground. He commanded softly, “Bind the spirits and command the generals!”

However, what Vincent did not expect was that there was not a single soul that stood up from the bodies of those monsters. Only green light clusters rose from the corpses. The green light clusters did not gather around Vincent. It was obvious that they were not souls.

Vincent looked at the green light clusters floating around him in a daze. He cautiously and unwillingly moved forward.

After several attempts to absorb the blobs of light using spirit binding, Vincent finally gave up. He was quite unwilling to use pure psionic power to absorb the surrounding blobs of light.

Whoosh!

What Vincent did not expect was that he could use psionic power to gently absorb the blobs of light around him. All the green blobs of light around him surged towards him and disappeared on the surface of his body like raindrops flowing into a well.

“Oh!”

Vincent frowned and suddenly let out a cry of surprise. This was because he felt that the psionic power in his body was rising continuously!

Vincent exclaimed in surprise, “So these green light blobs are not souls, but the purest psionic power. These monsters transformed into psionic power after death!”

Not only did the monsters in the toxic abyss not have spiritual intelligence, but they also did not have souls. They were just a group of greedy predators with empty shells and bodies!

At the same time, Vincent had been promoted to a level ten creature. His training had not fallen behind during this period of time. In fact, he had long been stuck at the edge of promotion. As he had suddenly absorbed a large amount of pure psionic power, it helped him to smoothly reach the peak of a level ten creature. He was about to start advancing to a level 11 creature!

Huge flames suddenly surged out of Vincent’s body. In the midst of a blazing aura, the aura in his body began to rise rapidly as well.

Vincent had been preparing for a long time to increase his strength. He clearly had the ability to increase his strength faster, but he instead chose to take things slow and build a steady and solid foundation for himself. Only then would he be able to go further.

It was currently time for his first harvest!

The air around Vincent suddenly stopped and his rising aura came to a pause as well. At this time, he had already advanced to a level 11 creature.

“Phew! The realm that humans have never reached is indeed a brand-new experience!”

Vincent could not help but exclaim excitedly as he felt the changes in his body.

At this moment, Vincent’s physical strength had already reached the peak of the Human Race. He was already in a state that could not be enhanced. Therefore, his greatest improvement was in his spiritual power and soul state.

Vincent no longer needed any means. He could see things clearly from 300 meters away, and he could feel all the changes in his surroundings. Even if there was a speck of dust falling within a meter of his body, he could sense it clearly!

At the same time, the soul in Vincent’s body was also becoming stronger. It made him suddenly have the idea of wanting to get rid of his physical body and swim in the Black Hole in his soul state.

This was the performance of a soul that was strong to a certain extent. Vincent believed that if his soul continued to be strong, he would be able to get rid of his physical body and exist independently at any time. This was unless he could strengthen his already strong physical body again!

“There’s no time to find a way to strengthen my physical body. Now I can only make good use of this poisonous abyss and try my best to increase my cultivation!” said Vincent firmly.

Vincent looked up at the countless poisonous monsters lying on the endless mountain wall.

After clearing all the monsters on the surface and the nearby mountain wall that were hundreds of meters high, Vincent did not take back the monsters’ souls. Instead, he commanded a large number of monsters to climb up the mountain. He rode on a level ten monster that could fly. They were slowly flying upwards.

In such an inverted triangular space, the higher one went, the more poisonous monsters there were. As they continued to climb higher, the level of the monsters surrounding them would also increase. Vincent had to act cautiously.

Before he had the ability to fight against higher-level monsters, Vincent would never face them directly, unless he had the confidence to kill them in one strike.

Although escaping the poisonous abyss was just a transaction with the Protoss, Vincent did not want to take it as a big gamble. He had to ensure that he had completely killed all the poisonous monsters there.

This was because once the seal on the abyss was removed, the poisonous monsters would become a nightmare for the nearby worlds. Vincent did not want any world to suffer because of him, so he had to kill all the monsters in the abyss. This way, he would only leave an empty abyss after he left, and not a butcher’s knife hanging over the heads of the 10,000 races in the Black Hole!

As his soul army climbed the mountain wall that was more than 300 meters high, it instantly attracted the high-level poisonous monsters above it. The strength of those monsters was between level four and level seven. There were many of them. The depth of the mountain wall that they occupied was also relatively long. It was almost equal to the number of monsters in Vincent’s soul army. However, there was still a gap in strength.

“Attack!”

Under Vincent’s command, the two sides once again erupted into a fierce battle. Although the poisonous monsters were dying at a speed visible to the naked eye, the soul army was also starting to lose its members. Some of the low-level monster souls were torn apart alive in battle by the poisonous monsters. However, Vincent did not have the ability to restore them.

Only then did Vincent realize where his danger lay. In the highly toxic abyss, the death of his soul army was not something that he could replenish. After all the monster souls died in battle, he would have to personally take action!

However, before that, Vincent needed to have the ability to solve the problem on his own!

Vincent took a deep breath and looked at the monsters that kept falling from the mountain walls. He commanded the flying monster that he was sitting on to dive down into the abyss.

Aside from the new monster corpses, there were also some poisonous monsters that were dying but were still alive. Since Vincent had decided to kill all the monsters there, he had to ensure that he would not let any of them go. At the same time, he also needed to absorb the psionic power of each monster and do his best to increase his strength.

However, this method would require Vincent to constantly go up and down the abyss. As he climbed higher and higher, the cycle of going back and forth would also become greater and greater!

But Vincent had no other choice. This was both a responsibility and the only way out of the poisonous abyss!

After reaching the bottom of the abyss, Vincent stabbed all the toxic monsters that were struggling to survive, before absorbing their psionic power once again.

This time, the effect was even more significant than before. It seemed that the higher the level of the monsters were, the more psionic power they would generate after death. This made Vincent, who needed to increase a level, a little happy!

“Just wait, one day I will climb to the top!” Vincent raised his head and spoke firmly.

He then steered the flying monster high up into the sky.
