A week had passed since Liam had spoken to Vermin Eater and the Bulwark Barracudas.
For an entire week, he had done nothing except swim, train with the Psionic Rune, and cultivate.
'Cultivate' was a loose term, though. Cannibalizing a woman's corpse was more accurate.
The Stonefish's territories were still a few weeks away.
A '+' shaped border divided the four species that lived in the Stonehedge Deep, with 400 kilometers of raw, wild terrain between them.
Until then, Liam was careful not to spill any nutrients from the Empress' body into the sea.
Thankfully, there were underground water bubbles that formed between crevices and caves in certain parts of the Quadrant, allowing him to eat in peace.
Sitting by himself, Liam's eyes went distant with thought.
As of now, Liam had no cultivation technique for the fifth Rank, nor a body tempering method.
