Chapter 560: Slow Burn
Despite his impressive initial showing, Hou Hei was only able to make it an hour before he was sent back to the Inner World to recover. On the plus side, because of the time dilation, Hou Hei could recover for a few days in just a few minutes and then come back to explore for another hour. A short five minutes was more than a full day on the Inner World, so Hou Hei was constantly leaving and returning again. The Warp Worm kept traveling down one path, while Hou Hei would head back to prior crossroads to check the different paths.
The Fire Eater Cultivation Technique the man practiced was from the Timeless Masters Library, and was named quite literally. The cultivator would literally eat flame, and using the closeness of stomach and dantian, filter the power and cultivate with it. Quite interesting, but its strength was also its drawback. Eating fire was not easy on the throat. It took a lot of body hardening to strengthen the throat enough to handle swallowing flames. Theoretically, it was a technique that could consume energy and progress at an astounding rate, but in practice it became impossible to consume flame without causing internal injuries. Both Tujiu and Juzui had considered the technique, but even with their powerful Demonic Beast physiques with a fiery nature they still chose otherwise. Even a powerful outer body could only strengthen the inner body so much. While they had an advantage, the training path for the Fire Eater Technique was pure torture. The constant damage to the throat heavily restricted the cultivators diet while they were in recovery, which also applied to their throat. In essence, a practitioner would spend much of their early career unable to speak and living on a purely liquid diet.
Everytime Hou Hei returned from his exploration, hed be completely mute, with chapped lips and hoarse breathing. Only after his recovery was complete was he able to describe what hed seen and experienced. Sage tried to use a Messaging Jade, but just like the Messenger Flying Sword, it was blocked. They were barely able to maintain their own bodies while trapped inside the body of the giant tortoise, so these cheap magical devices had no chance to operate. If he had a really powerful communication device it might work, but hed never had the funds to get something like that. The most powerful magical devices in this world were priced in the hundreds of millions, and so hed never bothered to look into them too much, given how far out of his reach they were.
The navigation of the inside of the tortoise was slow, but on the plus side they hadnt run into any signs of outside interference over the first few days of searching. None of his other enemies had been able to catch up to him so far. All for the low low price of losing my body.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
In short, if they wanted to pass through a section of tunnel inhabited by the red worms, they had to carefully kill each and every one of them. The task really wasnt too difficult, but it was a big waste of time, and there was no telling how much time they had in here. Would he run out of mature Warp Worms? Would the Nascent Souls bust in and finish him off? Or would the Living Disaster realize he had a few new parasites and kill them off in some unusual manner?
No sense in worrying. Forward we go.
They cleared the cavern that the red worms inhabited, finding nothing of value on their bodies and taking them as some sort of giant parasite in the tortoises body. The cavern had a much higher concentration of energy than the tunnels they were passing through before, which meant the Second Skin Barrier was worn out much faster, as were Hou Hei and the Warp Worm. The greater energy density was probably why the worms were there, but there didnt seem to be anything else of interest to see.
Wait, whats that feeling?
