Soul Transformation

8,760 Hours Later...

'It's been such a long time since I found myself in this place...' Jin thought while his body floated in the sea of dark energy that hasn't shown any signs of getting smaller.

Growl!!!

Suddenly, Jin's stomach grumbled, as right after, as if accustomed to this act, Jin ripped out one of his fingers and threw it in his mouth.

Crunch!!!

Crunch!!!

Crunch!!!

The sounds of Jin's teeth crunching down onto his finger's bones resounded throughout this sea of dark energy.

'It feels like when I was sealed away, the worst part is that the system is still offline.'

Urrggghhhh!!!

Jin groaned out in annoyance as he then sat in a lotus position as he started to absorb the surrounding energies.

'Hah...I even used up all of the cores in a mere few months, yet I have only reached the fourth level of Soul Forging.' Jin thought in even more annoyance, as he then prepared mentally for another long time of solitude.

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Bolts of lightning that radiated evilness and despair continuously rained down onto the body of a fifteen-year-old boy with long white hair that had strands of black on its edges. If one was a knowledgeable being, he would instantly realize this boy as he would be even more surprised by the fact that this tribulation seemed to not be aimed at actually wiping the boy out of existence.

His sharp brows and long fluttering white-colored eyelashes could put any girl to shame as his masculine and intricately sculpted jawline could put shame on any person who claims to be the hottest of males in existence.

Suddenly, his eyes opened, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils which were surrounded by an absolute blackness. The middle of his sclera had a blood-red colored line that ran across it and into the pupils. This effectively gave him off as not just pure charm but a devilish charm instead as he could make any female gain butterflies in their stomach.

He had a straight nose bridge and thin but cherry red lips as his skin was what one would consider sickly pale yet, it added another type of charm to him, as one looked down from his face, one would see the destroyed skin on his body healing at a tremendous pace as in the mere second, his skin which was previously destroyed was in perfect condition as it looked even more beautiful than it previously did.

His eight pack showcased his great genetics as he had lean but ripped muscles and a perfectly toned chest.

"How am I even getting Lightning Tribulation in this place? Yet, even now I cannot find the exit." Jin said in annoyance as his voice carried a different form than previously.

Unlike in the past when he had a childish but indifferent voice, at this moment, his voice was deep and monotone as his voice sounded more like a robot without emotions. It was akin to a dead being learning how to speak. It was not that of an indifferent person but more like someone who had absolutely nothing inside of them.

As Jin was lamenting about his unfairness, his vision suddenly turned blurry as he realized that his location seemed to have changed. No, his physical location hadn't changed as his body was still floating in that sea of never-ending dark energy but, he now realized that his very consciousness was inside of his middle dantian.

The weirdest part was the fact that he could not find his Nascent Soul as it seemed that he has instead become his Nascent Soul. He gazed towards the arms that seemed to be his own and saw it releasing a black oozing liquid as right over his head he saw another source of black energy.

If one was not aware of the drastic changes in his middle dantian for the past 87,600 hours, then they would be greatly surprised by the fact that the previous one million kilometers of empty dry land, was now a strip of land filled with sand akin to a beach, as the only difference between it, and a normal beach would be the abyss-black sand.

Suddenly, in front of the Nascent Soul, or more accurately put...in front of Jin, a perfect replica of his current physical body suddenly appeared.

Jin gazed on at the perfect replica of himself as he was then left dumbstruck by the following sequence of events.

The eyes of Jin's replica opened revealing a pair of abyss-black pupils and a normal white sclera as the mouth of Jin's replica then opened.

"Hello, Harbinger of Chaos, Death and Destruction, Ruler Of Darkness and Pandemonium. Hello, Jin, the future champion of the Abyss."

A loud booming voice that came from all sides of his middle dantian walls then resounded as the amount of indifference in the voice was even more than that of Jin.

Not sure of what to make out of those words, Jin merely nodded his head as he waited for the replica of himself to continue.

"I go by many names, but you can call me The Will Of The Abyss as that is what I am at the core.

You may have been very confused, as you were not aware of where you were trapped, but you need not worry as you have merely been located in one of the many, edges of the abyss of this mortal world, where there is only the law of Darkness present.

You will naturally leave after you comprehend the law of darkness, thereafter you would enter the world of the abyss where you will then start your journey.

Lastly, and the main reason why I am here. As you may have guessed, since the heavenly law is non-existent in places anywhere near the abyss, I would be the one to carry out your Soul Transformation trials as it would also be done fairly unlike what the heavenly law did to your previous tribulations."

Multiple seemingly important points were just mentioned to Jin as he needed some time to process them even if he had an unimpressed expression.

One of the many points mentioned was the fact that Jin was already in the Soul Transformation realm after a mere decade inside of the abyss boundary. One must know that Jin had a long run out of cores as right after entering the Soul Forging realm, his usage of the cores increased multiple times making it inevitable for him to run out of it in a mere few months.

Another thing was the fact that for normal people, once entering the Soul Forging realm, every minor realm breakthrough would incur the lightning tribulation on their Nascent Soul as it will slowly turn to the color of gold, not only that but the healing factor of the Nascent Soul would also increase every time.

Yet, for Jin, his Nascent Soul did not undergo such transformations as his instead became more and more black, eventually, it reached a level of darkness comparable to an abyss.

Anyway, after reaching the Soul Transformation realm, Jin would need to break out of nine illusions. Every time he enters an illusion, it will be harder than the last as by the last time, it is said that it is akin to reality itself.

"Are you ready to undertake the Soul Transformation tribulations? Remember, after these illusion tribulations, your soul would undergo tremendous changes.!!"
