201: Tower of Nothingness, Void Essence

The nine-story pagoda, which had materialized, once again became ethereal.

The ethereal nine-story pagoda was real, while the materialized nine-story pagoda was fake.

Truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth.

Because Lin Chen chose to violently dismantle the pagoda, he broke through the illusion and saw the reality.

After becoming ethereal, the nine-story pagoda once again suppressed Lin Chen's power, with only the Void Annihilation Spear and the Dao Fall Tree retaining some of their might.

At this moment, Lin Chen inexplicably established a connection with the nine-story pagoda, learning its name and origin.

The Tower of Nothingness.

The so-called "Tower of Nothingness" is a treasure that came into being when the primordial void first formed. According to the current classification of heavenly treasures, it is a supreme treasure far surpassing Foundation Level, reaching the Transcendent Level.

What is transcendence? It means possessing incredible power, not being restricted by the current void, and being able to exist normally even after leaving the current void, whether it be a person or an object.

If the void is seen as a pond, the void itself is the pond water, and the various universes and great worlds within it are various solid substances floating in the pond water.

The pond water will unconsciously dissolve and devour various solid substances, and for various reasons, it will also give birth to various solid substances.

However, this void pond is not a dead environment; it is full of life, with all kinds of living beings being born within those solid substances.

As the void pond grows, the various living beings inhabiting it also grow.

Initially, there were only living beings that depended on various solid substances and could not come into contact with the void pond water. Eventually, divine-level beings who could break free from the restrictions of solid substances and live in the void pond water were born. These divine-level beings were like small fish and shrimp.

Finally, the small fish and shrimp continuously grew into large fish. These were Foundation Level existences, and Foundation Level existences were already top predators.

However, Foundation Level existences, being top predators, were not content with merely living in this void pond; they yearned for the scenery beyond the pond, thus giving rise to the concept of transcendence.

To achieve transcendence, one must be able to survive after leaving this void pond.

But all living beings are born in the void pond. Except for a few exceptionally talented existences who can break their own limitations and take another step to become Transcendent Level existences, most living beings can only remain in the void pond throughout their lives, endlessly cycling through birth and death.

Transcendence is like a purely aquatic fish evolving the ability to walk on land or fly, leaving the pond and being able to live on land and in the sky.

This is completely unimaginable for fish that cannot transcend, and even fish that can transcend cannot understand how this transcendence occurs; everything is a matter of chance.

Returning to the main topic, the "Tower of Nothingness," this Transcendent Level supreme treasure, appeared at the birth of the void. It is composed of the essence of this void and some external object.

The sole function of the "Tower of Nothingness" is to open up independent spaces outside the void and absorb power from outside the void to form power that can strengthen the void.

It's like an object appearing in the void pond that doesn't quite seem to belong there.

This object can burrow into the soil around the pond, absorbing soil and converting it into water, or it can float on the surface of the water, absorbing external air and sunlight from above the water surface and converting them into water.

As long as it is used properly, it can continuously obtain water (Void Power), strengthening this void pond and expanding its volume.

The first floor of the "Tower of Nothingness," which was originally empty, now inexplicably contained a pool of energy that greatly attracted Lin Chen, and a continuous stream of energy cascaded from the nine-story pagoda into the pool.

At this moment, the internal space of the "Tower of Nothingness" formed a complete whole, with no ceiling obstructing the connection between the various floors.

At the very top of the pagoda, there was a formation composed of twelve peculiar light points. Wisps of flowing light descended from the formation and were finally received by the pool on the first floor of the pagoda.

"What is this?"

Lin Chen was puzzled. He only knew the name and a little of the origin of the "Tower of Nothingness," but he did not understand its function. The pool of liquid energy before him greatly attracted him, but he was somewhat hesitant to approach it.

The more beautiful something is, the deeper the danger it contains.

Holding the Void Annihilation Spear, Lin Chen cautiously approached the center of the first floor of the pagoda. The pool, with a radius of only three meters, was where he extended the tip of the Void Annihilation Spear into the liquid energy.

At this point, he had been suppressed back to the level of a mortal, and all his investigative methods were sealed. All he could do was take the risk of using the Void Annihilation Spear to probe the depths of this liquid energy.

The moment the tip of the Void Annihilation Spear entered the liquid energy, the originally calm liquid energy began to surge violently, flowing up the Void Annihilation Spear and instantly enveloping both the Void Annihilation Spear and Lin Chen.

Subsequently, Lin Chen and the Void Annihilation Spear were drawn into the liquid energy, falling together into the unknown pool, submerged by the liquid energy.

This liquid energy is, in fact, extremely pure Void Prime Matter, energy that can directly create the void. It is Void Power generated by the "Tower of Nothingness" rooting itself beneath the void and absorbing external energy from outside the void.

And the pool located within the "Tower of Nothingness" that collects Void Prime Matter is merely a temporary storage place for the "Tower of Nothingness." Almost every so often, this pool connects to the void, transporting a large amount of Void Prime Matter into the void.

For countless years, the Void Prime Matter converted by the "Tower of Nothingness" has long since transformed into the boundless void. It has not been used for its own purposes, nor has it been stored in large quantities.

The "Tower of Nothingness" has no master, nor can any living being born in this void make it acknowledge them. It can only operate instinctively, instinctively expanding the void.

In a way, by expanding the void, it is also expanding itself. Its relationship with this void is deeply intertwined; the growth of the void is also its growth.

At this moment, Lin Chen was drawn into the pool, constantly being pushed towards the bottom by the flowing liquid Void Power.

This flowing liquid Void Power was being greedily absorbed by the Void Annihilation Spear, and after being purified, it was then fed back to the suppressed Lin Chen by the Void Annihilation Spear.

Lin Chen was currently unable to absorb this liquid Void Power directly; he could only passively rely on the Void Annihilation Spear's feedback.

The Dao Fall Tree, which had always been by his side, could absorb the liquid Void Power, but this energy could only be consumed, and the actual nourishment it provided was not much.

However, there was an enormous amount of liquid Void Power here, more than could ever be consumed. The Dao Fall Tree devoured and absorbed it in large gulps, and its growth rate was not slow at all; in fact, it was even faster than the Void Annihilation Spear's rate of devouring liquid Void Power.

After all, Void Power does not contain much Dao Power; it is more about concepts like "nothingness" and "emptiness," and its compatibility with Dao Fall Power is not high, with only a few overlapping parts.

Every supreme power has some repulsion towards other supreme powers. Powers of the same quality all have their core attributes.

And the Dao Fall Power could only absorb the nourishment, with the remaining pure Void Power being fed back to Lin Chen, further accelerating Lin Chen's Void Incarnation process and increasing his rate of becoming stronger.

"My destined opportunity has finally arrived."

Lin Chen thought this, concentrating on absorbing and digesting the Void Power fed back by the Void Annihilation Spear and the Dao Fall Tree, solidifying the foundation of his Void Power and approaching the culmination of Void Incarnation.

In this environment, he estimated that he would be able to fully undergo Void Incarnation and condense his own Void Core within a few years, achieving the divine-level Void Status in one fell swoop.

His promising future opportunity was now in place.
