Forcibly activating the soul blemish placed an immense burden on his soul.
He had severely overdrawn himself.
Chen Lin's soul had nearly suffered a breakdown.
Fortunately, the soul blemish was resilient enough that it had not collapsed outright.
But the results were astonishing as well.
Rather than requiring three infusions, a single strand of soul source had made the Black Crystal's horn protrude.
The energy fluctuations it released were several times stronger than before!
The crystal came "alive."
It shook its head and swished its tail.
It wavered in the distance, seemingly unable to determine its target's location.
Chen Lin's heart sank.
This place was too far from the Kaiyuan Realm. He had been unsure whether it would work before, and now it seemed that even with the power of the soul blemish, it could not sense the White Crystal he had left there.
If this treasure failed to work...
Then he had no better means of escape and could only grit his teeth and wait for danger to descend.
Suddenly.
Chen Lin's gaze shifted.
After wavering for a while, the Black Crystal Insect suddenly blazed with light. The small horn atop its head doubled in size, and fine, intricate mystic patterns emerged across it.
Then it swayed twice more.
And stopped.
Light poured from its pointed horn, accumulating continuously. Slowly, a black dot appeared out of thin air.
Chen Lin was overjoyed.
The treasure truly had not disappointed him. It could actually open a space passage across regions.
Its value had risen considerably yet again.
But he could also tell.
Having accomplished this much, the Black Crystal Insect had essentially exhausted its energy and seemed unable to sustain the effort.
It probably could not widen the space passage enough for a person to pass through.
Seeing this.
