Sword God in a World of Magic

Queen Primordium looked at Shang for a while.

Lucin didn't say anything.

He understood why Queen Primordium was silent.

It had been difficult for him to accept reality, and he had seen Shang reach this step himself.

For someone like Queen Primordium, who didn't see Shang all the time, this was probably beyond shocking.

"How big is your Spirit Sense?" she asked.

"Sixfold," Shang said.

Queen Primordium took a deep breath.

"What are your thoughts on that?" she asked.

"Could you clarify what you mean?" Shang asked back.

"I mean, what do you think is the reason why you have a sixfold Spirit Sense instead of a fivefold one?"

Shang thought about that question for a second.

"I think it's the consumption of momentum," he said.

Lucin and Queen Primordium waited for Shang to elaborate.

"I can get a fourfold Spirit Sense without consuming any momentum, but the only way to get a fivefold Spirit Sense is to consume the entire momentum that I have built to create a fourfold Spirit Sense."

"By comprehending more Paths, more Imposes, more Concepts, and widening my World Connection, I gained enough momentum to reforge the Mana Pathways inside my body. Without that momentum, my Mana Pathways wouldn't have grown as much as was necessary to unlock Void Break."

"Void Break is my version of Void Casting," Shang added when he noticed Lucin's raised eyebrow.

"Void Break is not something that someone at the Fifth Realm should be able to attain. Under normal circumstances, it would take a comparable amount of time as comprehending Void Casting, and you know how long that takes."

Lucin nodded.
