Void Evolution System

Even while conversing with Damien, Tian Yang never stopped pouring his mana into the erupting spatial fissure.

Now, he would only need a few more minutes to close it thoroughly. But he needed to be faster!

Whether it be Damien or the surrounding Demigods, none of them were in good situations. If he could seal off a large portion of the Primal Sovereign's strength, he could ease all their burdens and make this fight progress far more efficiently.

​ Six shining lights surrounded the Primal Sovereign from all angles. They were constantly harassed by terrifying spatial phenomena, but persevered nonetheless. With their blood vitality burning to provide them power, they did everything they could!

Finally, there were the twelve Demigods who upheld the God Ensnaring Formation. In truth, these twelve bore an immense burden. The God Killing Array alone had taken a majority of their strength to activate and utilize. Now, to make sure the God Ensnaring Formation didn't burst, they were putting their lives on the line.

Even compared to the combatants, these twelve Demigods were more important. If they failed in their task, the Primal Sovereign would be released into the universe once more, regaining his entire connection with space and becoming an entity they could no longer face.

All parties were doing everything they could. At this rate, as long as they could continue, they would be able to kill the Fifth Primal Sovereign without too many more losses.

However, unbeknownst to them, a fierce struggle to define their fates was taking place within the Primal Sovereign's body.

When Damien was sucked into the Primal Sovereign's mouth, he found himself in a space filled with darkness. Surprisingly enough, the space within the Primal Sovereign's body was a naturally isolated dimension. It was no wonder why even with all the wounds he'd accumulated during the battle, he hadn't been fatally injured.

Even his organs carried space's blessing.

Of course, the isolated dimension Damien was in wasn't peaceful at all. It only retained that appearance due to the invisible nature of the forces within.

Damien's body was currently being pulled apart by multiple different suction forces coming from different points in space. This feeling was similar to a certain medieval torture machine, except multiplied to a far more gruesome scale.

If any other 4th class was placed in this space, they'd instantly be torn to shreds without being able to put up a fight. Even Damien wasn't too much better off.

His body popped and bulged as he pushed his physical strength to the maximum. Void Mana took shape around him, forming a protective shield that gave him yet another layer of protection.

In usual times, he would've added Void Essence to this shield to make it even thicker, but he no longer had to do so. His mana was essentially Void Essence, just adapted to his body.

Compared to the Void Essence he'd used in the past, his current mana was even stronger. And it'd continue growing stronger along with Damien. Only, he didn't have more than 5% control over his mana at the moment.

However, for now, this was more than enough. What he planned to do didn't depend on his understanding of his mana.

"Devour."

Damien spoke, but his words were silent, swallowed up by the devouring force. But at that moment, a counterforce spread from his body.

This was Damien's own devour ability. The Primal Sovereign used an inherent trait of Heaven Swallowing Beasts while Damien used the inherent trait of his Void Physique. Within the isolated dimension of the Primal Sovereign's body, these two forces fiercely collided.

Bzzt!

The sound of their collision was strange and static-like, two devouring forces attempting to devour each other. At first, Damien was at a natural disadvantage due to his low strength.

But this didn't continue for long. Compared to a Heaven-Swallowing Beast's swallowing laws, the Void Physique's Devour was like an ancestor.

Voom!

The devouring vortex around Damien expanded in size, slowly growing to cover his entire body. Its momentum wasn't fazed in the slightest. Even after reaching this point, it continued expanding with fervor!

Within the devouring vortex, Damien furiously pushed his mana and blood vitality. He even mixed his spiritual intent into the flow of energy he was producing, putting everything he had into maintaining the vortex.

Still, the devouring force Damien was combatting was a natural response from the Primal Sovereign's body, not one he actively controlled. This meant that no matter how Damien tried to wrest control over the opposing force, it always became stronger to perfectly counter him and then slowly chip away at the territory he created.

From Damien's perspective, this was a battle for his life. If he didn't succeed in his crazy idea, he'd be torn apart and digested by the Primal Sovereign. This wouldn't just be the end for him, but for the Human Domain as a whole.

The allied forces' assault today was sure to have deeply offended the Primal Sovereign. If he was allowed to escape, let alone escape empowered by Damien's nutrients, he was guaranteed to return for revenge.

At that time, it'd be impossible to stop him.

So Damien couldn't fail here! It was imperative that he lived through this calamity!

His mouth opened, letting out a ferocious roar. Damien's cracking body expanded once more, taking on his Demon Dragon Form! A blood-red aura enveloped his body as well, signifying his burning blood vitality.

These were all the cards Damien could logically play. As a final move, he could still sacrifice his lifespan, but he had no interest in truly burning away his life unless it was absolutely necessary.

[Heal] activated, keeping Damien's blood vitality stable as he sacrificed it. In only a few breaths time, his territory had expanded to cover the entire isolated space, warding off the surrounding devouring power!

This was a grand achievement. It could be said that Damien claimed a portion of the Primal Sovereign's body as his own. If he continued to do this, it wouldn't just help him, it'd also help the Demigods outside.

But nothing could flow so easily in this brutal universe.

As Damien's control reached such a massive level, the Primal Sovereign also noticed the abnormality within his body.

He could clearly feel that the Seed he devoured hadn't been digested, and its power wasn't flowing through his veins. Yet, he could still feel the existence of that power within his body.

And it wasn't a small amount!

The Primal Sovereign's face turned black as he realized what was happening. This brat truly did believe he had an opportunity to win! He was relying on the God of Heaven's inheritance to retain his life even at the final juncture!

The Primal Sovereign's eyes became bloodshot. To use the very inheritance that he was chasing to defeat him, wasn't this just slapping him in the face? And more than that, this disrespect was coming from a mere human!

How could he allow this to continue?

The Primal Sovereign's tactics changed immediately. He no longer harassed or attempted to kill the surrounding Demigods. Instead, he galvanized his mana wildly and formed a titanic spatial storm that revolved around him and isolated him from the outside world!

This spatial storm was intense. Even for these Demigods, to force their way to the center would consume too much energy, leaving them vulnerable when they finally found the Primal Sovereign.

In this situation, there was only a single thing they could do. They could only wait for Tian Yang to finish his duties, cutting off the Primal Sovereign's source of strength.

At that time, he wouldn't be able to continue upholding this spatial storm, allowing them a chance to attack.

But how long would that take?

Tian Yang wore a dignified expression. For others it didn't matter, but it was different for him. He flared his mana even more furiously, desperately attempting to sever the connection between the Primal Sovereign and the universe.

Until that happened, the battle became a duel between two.
