[CH399+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 577

I fly closer to the floating forest as the dark void falling down on me expands and descends at a constant rate.

While it appears at the far edges of my perception, hundreds of kilometers in the air, it's still rapidly descending, and my assumption is I only have a few more minutes to find a way to transport the trees with me before they're engulfed in the void of nothingness too and I lose my chance.

With soul energy and yellow divine threads powering my footsteps through the air, I make my single focus the small clump of obsidian trees.

Many thoughts race through my mind about how they'll react to my spatial magic. I compile multiple tests in an order in which I'll follow them, just in case the seeds at their cores are harder to capture than I initially anticipated.

The next few minutes go by in a blur.

I push myself and make it to the floating forest just in time as the endless void is less than a dozen kilometers overhead.

With under a minute to perform my tests, I use my heightened senses to open up various spatial magic portals to test things out.

Some of the trees have grown as high as 100m into the air from where their seeds float in the water, while others have just begun to sprout and haven't even grown as tall as my greater form.

I target the smaller trees first.

Every time my aura of yellow divine energy or even leftover threads from my footsteps comes in contact with any of the trees, they immediately pull them in and reach for the sky.

Surprisingly, not a single purple thread leaves my ring. They all stay tightly intertwined with me.

I test out a few soul energy-imbued skills, as well as pure Qi and pure mana, and I find something very interesting.

The dark black obsidian trees don't react to these tests at all.

It's as if two equally strengthened solid non-magical objects are hitting each other when I try some offensive attacks out of curiosity.

The mana and Qi bounce off the tree unaltered, and the trees are always left without a dent or even a scratch.

Following this test, I let one of the smallest saplings fall into my item storage, and it freezes inside in a state of suspended animation just like a normal piece of wood.

Whatever these organisms are, they only react to divine energy.

As the black sky falls closer and closer, I decide I can figure out exactly how they work another time. For now, it's best I get as many samples as I can for future tests.

I completely suppress all of my divine threads behind my limiter and begin opening up spatial magic portals left and right to allow over a dozen black obsidian seeds to fall into my item storage.

By the time the last one within my senses falls into my possession, I don't waste any more time to wait around. I crush another teleport crystal in my fist to bring me away from the ocean and all the way down the enormous mountain back at the very start of the construct.

Immediately, I look up to the sky to make sure I traveled far enough away and let out a relieved sigh when I see the sky above me is still blue, so I have a little bit of time left before the construct dissolves down to this point too.

I re-activate my divine energy-infused aura and allow it to spread throughout the entire forest below the mountain.

When I first entered this place, I couldn't even perceive half of this black jaguar-infested forest; now I can see every rock and tree inside it with perfect clarity all the way to the cliffside.
