"I had already thought that I could soon achieve a daily growth equivalent to the height of a typical six-story building, and now indeed, just by simply upgrading the Heaven and Earth Devourer Skill, I've directly accomplished it."

As for why six-story buildings are the most common, it's because elevators need to be installed above seven stories, increasing construction costs. Therefore, Zhang Yanhang plans to set his next small goal at eleven stories, which is also a common type. The reason is that a twelve-story height requires a fire elevator, and the cost will increase again.

"However, completing such a small goal of this degree should indeed be more difficult, and there's not much hope of achieving it at the Fifth Tier."

The average body length of an adult sperm whale is about sixteen meters, so the current growth speed of 17.28 meters per day for Zhang Yanhang is roughly equal to increasing the body length by one sperm whale daily.

"With the improvement in Energy Value absorption efficiency, the time that my inventory of Subordinate Sage Stones can support has also become shorter."

Initially, the quantity of Subordinate Sage Stones in Zhang Yanhang's inventory was enough to support his absorption for fourteen days, roughly two weeks, but now, the remaining stones should at most only support his absorption for about ten days.

Moreover, with subsequent upgrades, Zhang Yanhang estimates that the supportive time of these inventories will further shorten, possibly directly reducing to less than a week, which would cause somewhat of a crisis, potentially leading to an energy crisis.

Therefore, in this situation, Zhang Yanhang feels that he might need to refine the Subordinate Sage Stones again, but certainly not now. He plans to solve this issue later, after all, the Stomach Space is still very spacious, with no need to worry about it being filled with monster corpses.

After upgrading the Heaven and Earth Devourer Skill, Zhang Yanhang did not immediately continue to clear monsters, but took another glance at his Heavenly Earth Skill.

[Heavenly Earth Form · Original Scripture LV.6 (Active Skill)]

[Active Effect: After Skill Activation, Heavenly Destiny Master can freely transform (enlarge) the body, with the maximum transformation limit being 2400%+2700%=5100% [currently 882 meters (+112 meters)], Strength Effect +600%. No cooldown time, slightly consumes Physical Strength.]

[Additional Attributes: Maximum transformation limit +2700%.]

Although only four hours have passed, and an hour spent in outer space did not increase the body size, even with only over three hours, thanks to the super-fast growth speed, Zhang Yanhang's current height has increased considerably.

Zhang Yanhang's original height was only 1510 centimeters, but has now risen to 1729 centimeters, which means his height has grown by another 219 centimeters, approximately equivalent to gaining the height of Yao Ming out of thin air.

Because of this, Zhang Yanhang's current maximum transformation limit of the Heavenly Earth Skill has also seen a significant increase, originally only reaching 770 meters, but has now directly risen to 882 meters, an increase of 112 meters compared to the original.

It can be said that despite not much time has passed, Zhang Yanhang is now taller than he was after putting on the giant suit four-piece set.

"I previously estimated that by noon, I'd likely surpass the height of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, at 830 meters, and now I've easily done it, even surpassing the height of the Burj Khalifa by 52 meters."

After easily surpassing the Burj Khalifa, Zhang Yanhang's next small target is naturally to surpass the troposphere in the atmosphere, but this small target might be more suitable as a mid-term goal, considering ten kilometers in height is indeed quite distant.

Therefore, compared to the challenging task of surpassing the troposphere, Zhang Yanhang thinks perhaps surpassing the various cloud layers beneath it might be more suitable for his current situation.

After briefly reviewing the Skill Effect of Heavenly Earth Skill, Zhang Yanhang immediately continues heading towards the Ayer Mountains, yet this time, he does not directly encounter any Permanent Teleportation Channel along the way, but voluntarily stops after flying for a few seconds.

Because he discovers a large Permanent Teleportation Channel on his side, occupying at least tens of thousands of square kilometers in range, allowing Zhang Yanhang to see the dense cluster of various monsters from a great distance.

Of course, despite saying it's very far, considering the national area of Niger and the Earth's curvature, so Zhang Yanhang only needs to fly slightly in that direction for a few seconds to reach this vast Permanent Teleportation Channel.

Zhang Yanhang quickly scans around the area, finding that this Permanent Teleportation Channel covers more than ten times the area compared to the previous Third Tier Desert Permanent Teleportation Channel, at least fifty thousand square kilometers, similar in size to the Christmas Fifth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel he previously cleared in Greenland.

Moreover, although the area is similar in size, the number of monsters in this Permanent Teleportation Channel is far greater than those in the Christmas Permanent Teleportation Channel.

Zhang Yanhang casually initiates a Time Pause, then methodically scans the entire Permanent Teleportation Channel, discovering it seems to be a Fourth Tier Permanent Transmission Channel, yet the monster count reaches as high as four hundred thousand, four times more than the Christmas Permanent Transmission Channel, a Fifth Tier one.

However, Zhang Yanhang feels although four hundred thousand monsters is already a lot, it is still not the limit for a Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel.

Given he previously cleared the Fourth Tier Region, specifically the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano with more than sixty thousand monsters, if it also became a Permanent Teleportation Channel and refreshed ten times, it would have over six hundred thousand monsters.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang figures although the monster count is high this time for the Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, it should only be considered a medium-sized area, not too bad.

Based on Zhang Yanhang's scanning results, the composition of monsters in the Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel of four hundred thousand is approximately 350,000 Third Tier monsters and 50,000 Fourth Tier monsters.

According to Zhang Yanhang's previous hunting experience, he believes these four hundred thousand monsters can at least provide him with several billion Soul points, and it's even highly possible to immediately gather the three billion Soul points needed to upgrade the Heaven and Earth Devourer Skill just by clearing them.

Also, Zhang Yanhang unexpectedly finds that this Fourth Tier Transmission Channel is located in Niger's capital, Niamey City. However, unfortunately, under the destructive force of such a wide-ranging and high-number Fourth Tier Permanent Transmission Channel, Niamey City has long become a wasteland, with not a single living person remaining.

Zhang Yanhang believes it might be precisely because the capital attracted more talent among the Awakeners that led to the Fourth Tier Permanent Transmission Channel descending upon Niamey and subsequently destroying Niamey and all surrounding cities.

It can be said that the cities in Niamey and a nearby province have been perfectly covered by this Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, not a single living person survived.

"I wonder how many government soldiers actually made it out."

Anyway, Zhang Yanhang finally understood why he hadn't seen a single government soldier or living person along the way; it turned out Niger had perished directly, and not a single person had escaped.

At the same time, Zhang Yanhang understood why the rebellion was so brazen; after all, the government army stationed in Niamey had completely fallen, so naturally, they felt they could be bold.

"No wonder the closer to the center, the more desolate, whereas, at the border, there are still some people alive. It turns out the capital is gone."

Of course, besides the capital Niamey being gone, Zhang Yanhang felt that the cities closer to the center being more prosperous and populated with more Awakeners could also be a very important reason.

After all, the more Awakeners there are, the stronger the Teleportation Channel becomes, simultaneously speeding up the city's destruction, naturally leading to the complete absence of living people in central Niger, only leaving behind some small towns on the border with smaller populations and low development potential where Awakeners aren't willing to stay, thereby surviving.

But in the end, it's merely chronic death, after all, the country is gone, the capital has shattered into pieces, even if one struggles to survive, it would likely regress from the already very low city-level civilization directly to tribal times.

After scanning thoroughly, Zhang Yanhang discovered this Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel seemed to also originate from a Desert Permanent Teleportation Channel in the Land of Slumber.

One can only say, the Sahara Desert side is indeed very prone to connect with Desert Permanent Teleportation Channels, having connected an entire series from First Tier to Second Tier then to Third Tier and now the current Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, all gathered together.

But unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang hasn't encountered a Fifth Tier Desert Permanent Teleportation Channel yet, if a Fifth Tier could show up, Zhang Yanhang would be completely satisfied.

However, even in Niamey, a capital city, there's only a Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, Zhang Yanhang feels it's unlikely for other places in Niger to appear with higher-level Permanent Teleportation Channels, which makes him feel a bit regretful.

And after roughly understanding the situation of this Fourth Tier Desert Permanent Teleportation Channel, Zhang Yanhang eagerly began the clearing operation.

Outside of this Permanent Teleportation Channel, Zhang Yanhang encountered a whole bunch of worm monsters again, resembling the previous Lord Monster, except these are much smaller in size, the longest being only twenty to thirty meters, clearly a weakened version after mass production.

Simultaneously, a whole bunch of Desert Spiny Locusts of the same kind as seen at the last Permanent Teleportation Channel is also present here.

However, compared to the few thousand Desert Spiny Locusts seen at the Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel last time, the Desert Spiny Locusts here are already pushing to overwhelming levels, each with seven to eight meter elephant-like sizes, and in terms of quantity, they are at least over a hundred thousand.

Looking at them, Zhang Yanhang felt a bit tempted, because he heard locusts can be eaten and are rich in protein.

Being a Third Tier monster, these monsters naturally have reaction capabilities much higher than those encountered in the low-level teleportation channels cleared earlier, basically reacting as soon as Zhang Yanhang flew over, beginning to gather towards his direction.

But although Zhang Yanhang indeed likes their proactive gathering, due to their gathering speed being relatively slow, he chose to actively fly towards them himself as it's faster to clear them this way.

[Successfully killed Third Tier One-star monster 'Desert Spiny Locust (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +350.]

[Successfully killed Third Tier One-star monster 'Desert Spiny Locust (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +350.]

[Successfully killed Third Tier Three-star monster 'Desert Giant Devouring Worm (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +1700.]

......

Where Zhang Yanhang flew, the sky immediately cleared, each Desert Spiny Locust with elephant-like bodies rapidly falling to the ground like raindrops, making dense thumping sounds.

Meanwhile, the Desert Giant Devouring Worms underground suddenly perished, their once tough grey skin burst open, a large amount of grey-green body fluid flowed out, along with yellow-green corrosive venom.

Adding the bodies of Desert Spiny Locusts with skin color yellow blended with green, from a distance, the whole desert seemed to suddenly appear like a sand oasis with extremely high moisture levels.

However, if any animal dared to come over to this oasis soaked with acid liquid and poisonous blood, it would instantly corrode into yellow-green sticky liquid mixed with blood strands.

Simultaneously, Zhang Yanhang had to admit that the area of this Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel was just too large, measuring a full fifty thousand square kilometers, equivalent to four Qin Island Cities, even surpassing the size of many countries like Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Denmark, which aren't even as large as this Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, having only forty thousand square kilometers.

Therefore, faced with this already roughly 1.5 times the area of Hainan's Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, Zhang Yanhang, even though he can now clear tens of square kilometers per second, still finds it difficult to rapidly clear it out, strangely making him feel a sense of déjà vu back to the Fourth Tier.

According to Zhang Yanhang's estimate, even with his current clearing speed, solving this Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel could take nearly twenty minutes, and that's with Spiritual Qi Blessing for Movement Speed; without it, it'd probably take about forty minutes to clear completely.

Fortunately, he currently has plenty of time, he's quite idle; spending twenty minutes clearing a Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel isn't a problem at all.

Furthermore, most importantly, this Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel is destined to bring him a record-breaking income of Soul points, although it takes twenty minutes, the account goes up by at least eight figures, which is over ten million in Soul points per minute.
