Armored Serpentine Beast
Without Nial actually realizing several years passed in the blink of an eye. Compared to the time he spent on Jundra, the concept of time in the unknown parts of the Universe felt completely different. It was almost as if time ran slower on Jundra because he had so many different tasks to do.
However, that didn't really make sense because Nial actually did much more in the unknown parts of the Universe than anywhere else. He spent lots of time collecting a vast amount of different resources that could come in handy in the future. At the same time, he cultivated, his darkness domain unleashed to the fullest. His Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique was unleashed, absorbing a tremendous amount of mana through the Meteorfield's outskirts. That was where Nial was most of the time, spending his time doing various things.
