Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 128, True God-Level Talent! The Abyss of Calamity!
In his dazed state, Jiang Ming felt as if he had entered a deep abyss, where he witnessed countless scenes of darkness.

The abyss teems with countless strange creatures, some humanoid, some beast-like, and so on...

It's as if you can see billions of races in the abyss.

"What a strange dream. Why do they all kneel down and submit to me wherever I go?"

Jiang Ming could clearly feel that he was dreaming.

I'm a little curious as to why I had such a dream.

……

Slowly opening his eyes, Jiang Ming's gaze was clear, as if devoid of any impurities or desires.

"The world is different now."

The moment Jiang Ming opened his eyes, he realized that the world was different from the world he knew.

His gaze could see the deeply hidden rules governing the operation of the 'original universe'.

"My will, my soul, have become so much stronger."

……

So that's how it is, the 'Abyss of Calamity'.

This time, what was extracted was a true god-level soul talent.

Jiang Ming had just woken up, and the world he perceived was different from the world he had seen before he acquired his talent.

So I was a little confused, but I quickly sorted everything out and gained an understanding of the changes.

The talent he acquired this time is the True God-level talent 'Abyss of Calamity'.

"What a terrifying talent."

After cleaning up his new talent, Jiang Ming thought to himself with some surprise.

The Abyss of Calamity!

The opponent's will is dragged into the 'abyss of will' constructed by the caster, and they experience the painful abyss created by the caster.

There was no way to avoid it, and no way to resist it.

It can be activated the moment the will makes contact.

Even with the protection of a supreme treasure, guarding one's mind is useless, as the 'Abyss of Calamity' will directly affect the opponent's will and memories.

Unless there is a super treasure that specifically counters it, the only option is to endure it with one's willpower.

"If one's mind is strong enough to withstand the 'Abyss of Calamity,' then nothing will happen."

But if you can't withstand it, you'll become my 'slave'.

This should be considered a true god-level talent for enslavement.

Enslavement is the most unacceptable fate for any powerful being in the universe.

Even if one dies, there is still a possibility of being resurrected, but enslavement is utter and complete, placing one's life and death entirely in the hands of others.

From then on, they will lose their own will for all eternity.

To be someone else's servant.

"Although the 'Abyss of Calamity' is powerful, it is still constrained by my experiences. If the 'Abyss of Will' that I have woven is too ridiculous, then the strong can easily get rid of it."

After Jiang Ming finished sorting through all the information about the 'Abyss of Calamity', he also discovered the biggest problem with the 'Abyss of Calamity'.

While the 'Abyss of Calamity' is powerful, if the caster lacks sufficient experience, the 'Abyss of Will' they weave will not be strong enough. This talent requires years of continuous expansion to weave the most terrifying abyss.

"But this is an advantage for me."

Jiang Ming's thoughts sank into the depths of his spiritual world, and a dark abyss appeared within it.

This dark abyss is so pure and dark that it evokes a sense of extreme darkness and utter despair.

“‘The Abyss of Calamity’ needs materials as nourishment for weaving, and I imagine my experience in the Talent Awakening Space must have been quite a ‘surprise’.”

The 'Abyss of Calamity' needs "materials"—experiences that are profound enough, desperate enough, and capable of eroding one's will—to construct the terrifying and devastating scenes within it.

And what other "experience" could compare to the purgatory-like tempering of will he just endured in the depths of the Talent Awakening Space, in the 'Strongest Starshine Layer in the Universe'?
"Starlight...shattered...reassembled...undying..."

Jiang Ming closed his eyes, his consciousness instantly retracing its course, precisely anchoring itself in that memory where the core of his will had been repeatedly crushed by the torrent of starlight.

The pain that surpassed the fusion of the Blood Crystal by a hundred or a thousand times, the sense of emptiness where existence was completely denied and will was utterly shattered, the agony of each reorganization as if crawling back from the edge of hell...

He unearthed with unparalleled clarity every subtle change in perception, emotion, and will.

"Abyss of Calamity! Construct it!"

As he focused his mind, the vast abyss within his spiritual world began to churn violently!
It's not a simple simulation of starlight, but a direct extraction, replication, and even 'enhancement' of the core essence of 'will-grinding' contained in that experience!
The first layer of the abyss!
Starlight Grinding Hell!

At the outermost layer of the abyss, the scenery suddenly changed!
It was no longer a void of darkness, but filled with an endless starlight so heavy it was suffocating!

This starlight is not light, but a solidified, torrent of physical energy filled with a destructive will!
It simulates the pressure Jiang Ming felt when he first entered the Starshine Layer, the strongest in the universe, but it was distorted and amplified by the power of "Cataclysm," turning into an endless wave of destruction.

Any will that is dragged into this layer will instantly feel the insignificance and fragility of its own existence, like a lone boat facing a cosmic tsunami, enduring the suffocating feeling of its will structure being forcibly compressed and on the verge of collapse.

This is the beginning of despair, the prelude to the collapse of will by "weight".

After the first layer of the abyss was completed, another layer of the abyss was created.

The second layer of the abyss!
A hell of torment and despair!

The torrent of starlight here suddenly intensified!
As the vision deepened, the starlight ceased to be a pressure, but transformed into billions of invisible giant hammers, condensed from pure, painful will!

Each hammer blow precisely simulated the extreme pain Jiang Ming felt when he actively shattered the core of his own will!

The will was torn apart and pulverized into dust finer than elementary particles!
The sense of nothingness and annihilation—where the soul is thrown into the singularity of a black hole and the concept of existence is completely negated—is amplified infinitely!

However, amidst this utter destruction, a faint yet incredibly resilient rudimentary form of a "will core" was forcibly implanted into the target's perception.

But this is not salvation; it is a more brutal contrast!

In the excruciating pain of having their will utterly shattered, the goal "clearly" "feels" the existence of a glimmer of "hope," only to despairingly discover that they are utterly unable to muster it!
This is the most fundamental test and destruction of will, aimed at completely dismantling the foundation of resistance.

The third layer of the abyss!
Pale negation of the abyss!

The pain of being shattered had not yet subsided when the scene changed drastically once again!

Countless tiny fragments of will crystal cores, radiating a faint, immortal glow, struggled to emerge amidst the destructive starlight storm.

But what awaits them is a more violent and precise "forging"!
Jiang Ming transformed the process of condensing ten thousand will crystals into an endless torture of will.

The target will "experience" its own will being shattered again and again, and will be forced to try to condense that weak crystal core in the gaps between destruction, only to be ruthlessly crushed again by an even more powerful torrent of starlight at the moment it is about to take shape!
Each cycle of shattering and attempting to condense increases the pain exponentially, simulating the ever-increasing pressure as Jiang Ming advances step by step.

This is a terrifying test of willpower, designed to extinguish any thought of perseverance through endless cycles of failure, plunging the goal into absolute despair where "effort is met with denial."

Only in the deepest despair, a faint thought of "my conscience is not clouded" is forcibly imprinted by the laws of the abyss!
But this thought seemed so pale and laughable in the face of the endless cycle of pain, only deepening the level of despair.

……

As the abyss was built layer by layer, Jiang Ming continuously selected the most painful and desperate moments from his experiences and wove them into a series of hellish maps!
