Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies Chapter 30
Advertisement
Yan Zaizen was alone in the third level room, sitting firmly on the essence chair, and his gaze honed onto the two objects in his hand.
In his left, a soul jade was given to him by Wu Yuanxu. It contained a Soul Cultivation Method — Spirit Matrix Method — which contains an essence circulation method for cultivation, a detailed information about the characteristics and dividers of soul cultivation, and a method to formulate one's soul form. At first, Yan Zaizen wasn't sure about what the latter meant, but after having it explained he was enlightened. The reason his soul was a thin, squiggly line was because there was no method being used to mold it into a proper shape. Now, he obtained one.
In his right, the Anima Syndicate Medallion. This Medallion could only be held by those who possessed soul cultivation, and it acts as proof of his membership. He learned the golden dot determined his standing in the Syndicate. Currently, he was at the lowest standing - Anima Initiate. Above Anima Initiate was Anima Lieutenant and Anima Commander. One can only rise in rankings by performing missions, but by doing so, you'll be given priority on future missions and have a few other benefits when entering the headquarters spread throughout the realm.
It wasn't just that. The Anima Syndicate Medallion even had a map, one that covers in detail the entire realm. When Yan Zaizen looked at the contents, he felt his spirit leave his body in shock. He knew there were four countries on this continent, but what he didn't know was that there were three continents in this realm. Unlike normally, a continent was like a celestial body, a planet, but on each planet was just one large area called a continent. This is why they're called continents, and the Medallion was essentially a star map.

There were also millions of islands scattered around each and every planet. The number of lives in a single realm couldn't even be determined by the trillions. This made him recognize the meaning of living as a frog in a well.
"...the world truly is endless." He couldn't help but sigh in resignation at his ignorance. It's likely the many people of this continent will die without ever knowing there were other continents or millions of islands scattered everywhere. Some might not even know that there was more than one country, now that he thought about it. Not everyone had the luxury of being educated by a large clan like him.
He stayed in the chair for another hour, reading the soul jade's contents, and absorbing the essence in the chair. However, the beautiful woman from earlier entered and escorted him out, leaving him pouting in indignation. If he could stay in that chair for several days, he felt that reaching the peak-Qi Revolving Realm would be an absolute certainty. Unfortunately, there were barely any such good things in the world.
Even his decision to join the Anima Syndicate wasn't entirely good. Besides safety at specific locations and cultivation methods detailing the soul and various soul arts, there wasn't much. That may seem like a lot, but you get no protection from their name, you have to compete with other members, and even other members can slay you if you offend them. The environment was tough and competitive, but after learning more about soul cultivation, he wasn't surprised.
Soul cultivation can only be advanced using soul essence, enlightenment, and extremely rare and unique methods. Progression of your level was much easier than breaking through a level. That required enlightenment and good fortune. A lot of enlightenment and good fortune.

The method described Nascent Level as the gateway to the soul, and a majority of the races could not even reach this point of soul cultivation. However, even an Initial Nascent Soul could allow you to be as strong as an Essence Formation Realm. While one's comprehensive soul combat strength related to the myriad of arts they learn and to what degree. An Advanced Nascent Soul rivaled a Qi Unification, and a Perfect Nascent Soul rivaled the Origin Core Realm.
"This means...my soul cultivation progressed to the point it can rival an Origin Core?!" When Yan Zaizen first learned of it, this was his reaction. He didn't even know how. His progression coincided with the development of his conceptual law, but from what he read, this only helps soul development a little and is nothing but support. He was completely clueless as to how his level of soul cultivation risen so greatly.
This was absolutely ridiculous.
He utilized the described methods in the Spirit Matrix Method to test if he truly had a Perfect Nascent Soul, and he truly did. To his surprise, he realized it was unlikely that Wu Yuanxu knew.
"He probably thought I was only at the Advanced Nascent Soul...just like Han Genji told him."
When he questioned Wu Yuanxu about his soul cultivation level, he informed him that he was in the Advanced Nascent Soul, close to the Perfect Nascent Soul. This meant his soul cultivation was greater than a monster that was hundreds of years old!
How?!
He had a headache thinking about it. He felt like the crucial parts of his life was just sheared away. Leading to this point, where he can't even recall why he was so impressive. Now he understood why Han Genji wanted to snatch him to be his disciple, he had the soul cultivation that could rival a Qi Unification Cultivator at the age of sixteen!
However, now he had the cultivation that could rival an Origin Core Cultivator at the age of sixteen!!
While walking out of the door, he looked towards the Meteor Ring on his finger. This ordinarily looking ring that descended from the sky could be the only reason. It must've awakened his soul, and when he developed his Herculean Physique, it had to have done something to advance his soul cultivation once more.
"You are beautiful, perfect, awe-inspiring, and majestic ring. You're absolutely amazing!" He complimented, kissing the ring on his finger in gratitude.
Little did Yan Zaizen know, the Meteor Ring had absolutely nothing to do with his advancement.
When he got out and didn't see Ying Sumian's group, he questioned the beautiful lady, and only to reveal that they had to take off and left him a message saying they were reporting to their guild. He didn't even know they had a guild, but if they were apart of it, then fine. He'll just find some place to rest for the night. He had a lot of cultivation to do.

A Universe of Bloody Evolution
The Void was never meant to be opened to the Multiverse. The horrors waiting inside it should have never seen the light. And yet, the biggest mistake in the history of creation led to the impossible. In an event later known as the Outbreak, gates appeared in the first Universe, and with them, the Void was free. For ages the Void destroyed universe after universe, spreading its power in every direction, leaving only death and pain behind. But before every Universe met its end, it still had a chance. A small part of the population that survived the initial Outbreak and was granted a mysterious System to help them fight against the dangers that came from the Void. They were the Multiverse's last hope even if they couldn't stop the collapse of their own world. And so the cycle continued until the 36th Outbreak came. Leo Hale, a young reporter from Wolford, was one of the lucky ones to survive when the majority of Earth's population turned into monsters straight out of nightmares. Thrust into a constant battle for his life, Leo was determined to push forward and find his remaining family. Even if it meant sacrificing what was left of his humanity. After all, you either adapt or die. Story of progression and evolution with my take at the post-apocalyptic genre. Unlike most monster evolution stories where the monster rushes to gain human form, here I plan to do something quite the opposite. After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill you, being human can be hard. Warnings are here to give me the freedom to write whatever is necessary. This is my first original novel. Also English isn't my native language so any feedback is welcome. Remember that even if initially this story takes place on Earth, fictional places, streets, etc will appear. Release Schedule: Monday - Wednesday - Friday Average chapter length: 2000-2500 words (There might be exceptions as is the case with some of the first chapters - most of them are longer.)
