all-pervading

Permeating every space

All-pervading means spreading through or present in every part of something.

The term describes influences, qualities, or presences so thorough they seem to occupy all available space: an all-pervading sense of dread, the all-pervading smell of smoke.

Often applied to abstract forces—corruption, influence, atmosphere—that saturate their environment completely.
