Chapter 607: Restoration

After getting accustomed to his new body and eyes, there was one last thing to test out. His massive bulk moved quickly and in a flash he was standing beside the small lake near the center of his territory in the Universe Ring. The limbs of the Swamp Genesis Spider were unusual for a spider. They werent uniformly thin and spindly like a web weaver, nor were they large and thick like a hunting spider. Instead, they were a mix of both. A spiders leg was quite unusual, and in the most simple of terms, it could be considered to have six knees. Six different joints along its length, as well as the joint that connected it to the body. There were many points of articulation.

At the tip of each leg were a set of three claws. From there, the first section of leg, the tarsus, was smaller than usual, and if thinking of the claws as fingers, then it would be his palm. After that first joint, the next section of the leg was called the metatarsus and for the Swamp Genesis Spider, it was absurdly oversized. It was many times longer and thicker than even a hunting spider as it bore large vent-like openings with comb-like filters in them. The next section, the tibia, was also quite large and bore thick armor plating as it rose upwards. The last few sections of the leg, patella, femur, trochanter, and coxa were all similar in that they were far slimmer, much more like a web weavers legs, but they werent covered in thick hairs or large armored protrusions like a hunting spider might have. Instead, they were only slightly larger to make room for the additional pipelines within them. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

The legs of Sages new body very much resembled that of the Swamp Genesis Spider, merely with a different coloring and of slightly thicker width. Once he dipped the thick metatarsus into the water, the vents were submerged and with well practiced ease he drew a huge amount of water into his body. It was quite strange to know how to do something, and feel as if hed done it everyday just like breathing, but also know that hed never ever done such an action before. A spiders exoskeleton was unlike most other insects in that its abdomen was not nearly as hard as the rest of its body. That was because when it fed, the abdomen would have room to expand, just like a big stomach. If it had a solid shell, then it would have a fixed limit on how much it could consume. Sages new body was similar, except that the bloodline hed enhanced had caused his abdomen to bear a layer of armored plates that hung over to either side of his body like a skirt. There was still a weak point on his abdomen from underneath his body, but it also still left room for expansion. It also gave some room for the additional limbs hed grown, and when looking at the small flipper-like appendages underneath along with the additional plating and brick red color, it gave his spider body a very crustacean feel.

Sage turned towards a small hill near the edge of his territory in the Universe Ring and released the stored water. He shot it forth at only half power, but even that was enough for the huge stream of water to rocket through the air and blast off the top of the small hill. Upon releasing the attack, he instinctively wove his Qi into the water, and realized that this attack wasnt simply based upon a physical structure, but was the Swamp Genesis Spiders inherited technique. A Qi Technique on its own could create powerful elemental and energy based attacks, so by adding a physical structure of immense size, it multiplied the effect by many times.

With the successful use of the Divine Breath technique, Sage named the special tube system inside his body as Fluid Power Lines. Considering they could handle body hydraulic as well as pneumatic power, he used a name that could fit them both. With the first test successful, he moved on to another and with a directed blast, a torrent of air fired out of each of his legs and launched his body into the air.

Shame I cant maintain the air flow for long, or I could use this method to fly.

After a few more days of experimentation, he calibrated his Human Seal and exited the Universe Ring once more. He didnt go directly to meet his friends and instead had a servant lead him to a cultivation room where he performed one last process that he was fearful of doing within the Universe Ring.

Those in the Tiankong Clan and even in the rest of the Mount Song Sword Sect were all drawn towards a strange phenomenon. Most of them didnt know what was going on, but all those at the upper echelon recognized the power of law concentrating around a certain mountain peak.
