Chapter 9 - Middle Ring

Half a month had passed by in the blink of an eye, currently, Tang Yin was still in the Outer Ring of Demonic Beast Mountain. Next to him was the corpse of a tiger, Tang Yin had spent quite a lot of time before he had managed to kill this beast.

Over the course of half a month, he had spent all of it hunting down beasts with no rest at all. After his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit absorbed the soul of the beast he had killed, all his fatigue and tiredness would instantly vanish. Thus, he could continue hunting down beasts without rest.

If Tang Yin wanted to, he could have spent much less time on killing this tiger. However, he did not do that, instead, he let it live for a bit longer to provide him more experience and to improve his skills.

During the past half a month, he had improved his fighting prowess by a large margin, he was no longer that inexperienced youth who had come to hunt his first beast. He had also grown accustomed to the blood of all the animals he had killed, he no longer felt uncomfortable around blood.

Tang Yin swiftly manifested his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit and used the ability Devour on the tiger. The tiger's blood and flesh were rapidly absorbed by the Martial Spirit, Tang Yin, instantly reached his peak.

Only the bones remained of the tiger, as the bones disintegrated, the illusory form of a tiger appeared above its disintegrating corpse, and the soul was swiftly sucked towards the Heaven Devouring Abyss before being Devoured.

Tang Yin had used his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit innumerable times over the past half month to Devour all his kills. He had grown used to his Martial Spirit and learned how to make the Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit Devour according to his will.

If Tang Yin wanted to Devour something, it would devour it. If he wanted it to not Devour anything, it would not Devour. If he wanted to make it devour a specific material, like only blood and flesh but leave the bones of an animal, it would only partially devour that animal.

Tang Yin had learned how to control the Devour ability of his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit.

As soon as Tang Yin finished devouring the tigers' bones, a small bang only he could hear erupted throughout his whole body. 'I've finally reached the 3rd stage of Spirit Channelling Realm.' Tang Yin had reached the 3rd stage; he was very excited as this was his goal for the past half month and he had finally achieved it.

Tang Yin knew that him reaching the 3rd stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm was due to him gaining full control of the Devouring ability of his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit.

'Hunting these normal beasts Is too easy and has no benefits any longer, it's time to head to the Middle Ring.' Tang Yin slowly thought to himself as he examined his body, after he had reached the 3rd stage, he felt stronger, he also felt as if he had gained better control over his Martial Spirit and could bring out more of its power. But he would have to test if this feeling was true in the Middle Ring.

Tang Yin got up, his blood-red hair danced in the wind, while his eyes shone with a black light. His upper body was fully naked, his shirt had been ripped to shreds after the numerous battles he had with those wild beasts. However, his trousers were still intact albeit with a few minor holes.

During his slaughter over the past month, Tang Yin had not met any humans on the mountain, hunters were scarce, and not many humans had the courage to become a hunter and venture into the Demonic Beast Mountain.

As a result, no one had witnessed him or his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit, Tang Yin wanted to keep his Martial Spirit Devouring abilities a secret. He was no idiot, he knew how rare and strange his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit was, if others found out about its devouring abilities, they might kidnap him for experimentation or other nefarious reasons.

Tang Yin ran at full speed; he ignored any wild beasts he met on his way. Unless they attacked him, he would not kill any more wild beasts.

Eventually, Tang Yin arrived at a massive tree which was 100 feet tall, it truly stood out among the other trees. This tree had a massive crown which blotted out the sunlight. According to what he had heard, the entrance to the Middle Ring was this 100-foot-tall tree.

Once one walked past this tree, they would step into the territory of the Middle Ring. With firm resolution, Tang Yin walked past the tree, as he continued on, he remained on high alert. After all, he could be ambushed at any moment.

Tang Yin was also moving at a slow pace; he did not want to run into a pack of Rank 1 Demonic Beasts out of nowhere. He would walk slowly and scout the region ahead of him before he moved forward. This would save him a lot of trouble and maybe even possible death.
