Chapter 360 - 155: Death Night 2
Meanwhile, inside Cyan Spirit Mountain, Shen Bai had been grinding all night.
Looking at the mist before him, a hint of relief appeared on Shen Bai’s face.
The mist swirled, coalescing into text in mid-air.
[Storage Technique Level 2 (Space +2, Living Creatures +2): 1000/1000]
After a whole night of intense grinding, Shen Bai had finally pushed the Storage Technique, a Divine Power, to the peak of Level 2.
Upon reaching this Level, a new minor Attribute had appeared: Living Creatures.
Shen Bai found this "Living Creatures +2" Attribute quite interesting.
The previous Space Attribute was still the same type, but its value had doubled to +2, expanding the one-cubic-meter space to two cubic meters—a significant increase.
He would be able to store even more things from now on.
But this "Living Creatures +2" Attribute was particularly intriguing.
Living Creatures meant exactly what it said. From now on, Shen Bai’s Storage Technique could hold not only items but also people.
In any case, he could stuff as many people as he could fit into those two cubic meters of Space.
As for the "+2," it was related to the person’s strength.
As long as their strength did not exceed the +2 limit, Shen Bai could store them inside.
However, he would need their consent, or they would have to be unconscious.
At first glance, this Divine Power didn’t seem to have much combat potential. To Shen Bai, however, it was a priceless tool for murder, robbery, and ambushing others for their treasures.
Wandering the Jianghu, one was bound to encounter strange and bizarre things. If he ever came across a treasure, he could just store it away with this.
As for storing living people, if a special situation ever called for it, the Storage Technique Divine Power could prove highly effective.
This Divine Power had now reached the peak of Level 2. It would require a qualitative change to reach Level 3.
Shen Bai stroked his chin in thought. A moment later, he recited in his mind, ’Qualitative change.’
He still had sixteen wisps of Evil Qi. Even if he used one, it was only a single wisp.
The cost was not high for him.
After all, this particular qualitative change could be initiated anytime. It was only the second one that would require ten wisps of Evil Qi.
As Shen Bai had this thought, a wisp of Evil Qi vanished from the sixteen he possessed. The mist before him shattered violently, reforming into new text that floated in his vision.
[Life and Death Storage Skill Level 3 (Space +4, Living Creatures +4, Dead Objects +4): 0/5000]
As soon as the text appeared, Shen Bai felt the scenery around him begin to blur.
He knew the familiar vision was about to begin again. His expression was perfectly calm as he waited in silence.
Sure enough, in just an instant, the view before Shen Bai’s eyes shifted from blurry to clear.
This time, Shen Bai found himself above a vast ocean.
The sea was churning violently, and a hundred-foot-tall wave was rushing toward him.
Standing before Shen Bai was the same illusory figure he had seen before.
The figure was just as imposing as ever, hands clasped behind its back, exuding the air of a true master.
The hundred-foot-tall wave was like a beast that could swallow the heavens and devour the earth, threatening to destroy everything in its path.
Within the wave, terrifying, grotesque figures swam about restlessly.
Each of these aberrations radiated a chilling, terrifying aura that would make one’s entire body tremble.
Just then, the motionless illusory figure finally moved.
The figure raised a hand and tapped a single finger at the empty air before it.
In the next moment, a massive rift suddenly appeared in that once-empty space.
The rift immediately began to expand, transforming in a flash into an utterly pitch-black gate.
As the gate appeared, the surging wave seemed to freeze in place in an instant.
From within the gate, a terrifying Suction Power erupted.
The Suction Power, like a vortex, pulled in the colossal wave and all the terrifying aberrations within it.
In a single moment, the once-turbulent surface of the sea became perfectly calm.
The calm water shimmered under the sunlight, as if nothing had ever happened.
Ahead, the black gate remained, and from within, eerie and terrifying screeches could be heard from time to time.
The illusory figure waved its hand, and the gate before it closed, then vanished without a trace.
Shen Bai felt the scenery around him blur once more, as if a bucket of multi-colored paint had been splashed over his vision.
When the scene shifted from blurry back to clear, Shen Bai found himself back in his residence.
The mist before him transformed into Information and surged into his mind.
"The Storage Skill: to swallow the heavens and devour the earth."
Shen Bai took a moment to absorb all the Information, fully grasping all the abilities of the Life and Death Storage Skill.
’Not bad. This Divine Power can even be used against those aberrations,’ Shen Bai thought.
The previous Attributes had doubled, which was no different than before, but the two words that followed—"Dead Objects"—brought Shen Bai an even greater surprise.
After reaching Level 3, the Life and Death Storage Skill could store both Living Creatures and Dead Objects.
And these "Dead Objects" referred to the aberrations.
Storing Living Creatures required them to be willing or knocked unconscious, but Dead Objects had no such requirement.
As long as the aberration Shen Bai wanted to store was within the "Dead Objects +4" limit, he could successfully capture it.
The Suction Power he had just witnessed was a demonstration of this.
’But what’s the use of this Divine Power?’
Shen Bai wondered, ’When I encounter an aberration, I can just kill it directly and turn it into Evil Qi. Why would I need to go to all the trouble of trapping it inside?’
As this thought occurred to him, Shen Bai began to ponder it carefully.
