Chapter 26 Seed of Light
I don’t know how long it took, but the small figure lying on the ground, emitting black smoke, began to move.
"This is a terrifying Thunder Dao True Pattern. It is simply a natural nemesis. It is unreasonable. This is not surprising. This is not surprising!"
Jiang Jue muttered to himself and slowly stood up while suppressing his wounds. The platinum arcs surrounding his body were still penetrating and impacting his cracked body, stinging his soul. His original body also exploded. Jiang Jue was in a more serious situation than when he faced the Willow God in the Sea of Boundaries. After all, the power of the Willow God was indeed terrible, but it was far less serious than the damage caused by thunder to Jiang Jue. This was the great power of heaven and earth that directly impacted his original source.
Originally thinking that with his own strength, even if the thunder restrained his origin, it would not cause too much harm to him, so Jiang Jue plunged directly into the sea of thunder. But in the previous moment, his entire soul was torn apart, and his origin was almost melted to exhaustion.
Jiang Jue finally understood at this moment why those immortal kings from foreign lands would risk their lives to surround and kill the Thunder Emperor who was not at the king level. The other party was simply a terrifying blade hanging over the head of the immortal king, ready to fall at any time, driving thousands of thunder spells to destroy all darkness. Once the Thunder Emperor became the king and his soul successfully transformed and the laws were sublimated, there would be only one way waiting for them: death, thunder.
“Although I was seriously injured, it was not without benefits. Under the impact of the true pattern left by Willow God and the completely opposite force of this darkness, a seed of another kind of vitality was born in my origin that broke away from the source of darkness.”
Inside Jiang Jue's body, a ball of light surrounded by golden light slowly emitted a vitality in the black ancient tripod that was completely opposite to the dead power of Jiang Jue's origin.
This is the seed that was born after the original body exploded and experienced the baptism of thousands of thunders and the true vitality of the Willow God. It is the light seed that the Dark World Tree transformed and got rid of the darkness under the baptism of thunder. It is like an ancient seed that was separated from the World Tree before it was eroded by darkness and can be bred again.
This is also the opportunity for Jiang Jue to reach the peak. It is the origin of light and the origin of the transformation of the dark world tree at its extreme.
"However, it is still impossible to peek into that power at present."
After speaking, Jiang Jue sat cross-legged on the ground to recover again, starting from the origin. With each recovery of Jiang Jue, the dark ancient tree behind him was also growing slowly, and each wave was connected to the pulse of the world. In the origin, Jiang Jue, who had completely nurtured another seed, no longer needed to keep the true pattern of the Willow God. Under the smelting of the black ancient tripod, his soul directly ushered in another sublimation.
Ten thousand years later, an ancient dark tree that was even bigger than the previous one appeared again between heaven and earth. Its branches and leaves reached straight into the sky and spread out across the galaxy, and the ripples caused by thousands of waves became more obvious.
Under the dark ancient tree, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen had a solemn appearance.
"It's grown a bit more."
After each transformation, Jiang Jue would grow a little bit, which was indeed very much like a tree. Moreover, his pale complexion also began to change.
Afterwards, Jiang Jue stood up and watched the sea of thunder slowly approaching in front of him again. However, this time he was not as reckless as last time. The scattered branches of the dark ancient tree behind him were also slowly extending into the sea of thunder.
puff!puff!
As Jiang Jue approached, his origin seemed to be burned by the heavenly fire of the Great Dao, and countless branches and leaves of the dark ancient tree near the sea of thunder behind him were turned into ashes under the impact of thunder.
These are two opposing forces colliding.
However, under the stimulation of Jiang Jue's origin, the dense true patterns of the blazing dark golden black light seemed to burst into vitality, and were also catalyzing the dark ancient tree to grow branches and leaves again.
Just like that, as it approached and turned into ashes, it also urged its origin to transform into the ancient dark tree to resist the thunder that was like its nemesis.
In repeated confrontations, Jiang Jue was able to withstand some of the power of thunder under the smelting of the black ancient cauldron. As time went by, the origin of darkness that was baptized by thunder and transformed into the origin of light was also slowly gathering.
In the ancient cauldron, the golden life force became more and more intense, and even as its golden light became stronger, Jiang Jue's soul was nourished. Over the years, the feeling of his own mana growing infinitely but with no end in sight gradually became clearer, and the boundaries that blocked Jiang Jue were loosening. Until the bright golden light of the source of light gathered in the black ancient cauldron increased to almost materialize, a vibrant breath infected Jiang Jue's dead source, and even slowly helped Jiang Jue resist the erosion of the thunder true pattern.
Almost instantly, the pressure from the Thunder Dao True Pattern as if facing a mortal enemy was decreasing, as if Jiang Jue was slowly turning into an ordinary creature. This was the effect of the source of light, and it felt like Jiang Jue's identity had been replaced.
However, even if they were not mortal enemies, this thunder was still as powerful as the destruction of heaven and earth. The violent force once again almost caused Jiang Jue's body to explode.
There was nothing he could do. In the end, he still couldn't control the thunder. The darkness that devoured everything and corroded everything was suppressed to death. Even the world tree that claimed to absorb all laws was powerless. The shackles of darkness locked Jiang Jue tightly.
"After all, there is only one Thunder Emperor. Perhaps this source of light will be able to absorb the law of thunder only after it is completely integrated. Now, forcibly swallowing it will only lead to self-destruction."
Jiang Jue was not disappointed because he could not drive the great power of heaven and earth, nor was he some extraordinary creature who was loved by heaven and earth.
Let it be darkness. Jiang Jue no longer thought about absorbing the true patterns of thunder. Instead, he focused on fighting against the thunder and transforming his own origin, as if using thunder to wash away the shackles of darkness.
As time went by, the source of light in the black ancient tripod seemed to be sublimated.
Brilliant platinum light radiated in all directions, directly and forcefully covering up the blazing dark gold light of Jiang Jue's original power. A small golden sapling took root in the black ancient tripod.
The next moment, a palm-sized golden sapling broke away from the black ancient cauldron and rushed into the Dantian, forcefully stretching out Jiang Jue's dark origin and taking root in it. If you look closely, you will find that this golden sapling is exactly the same as Jiang Jue's original body, slowly emitting ripples, but the difference is that it is too small, and it is golden.
This is a sign that the source of light in Jiang Jue's body has been fully nurtured. It turns into a tree of light and takes root in his dantian.
"The light has appeared, and the great way is clear."
Feeling the changes in himself, Jiang Jue couldn't help but smile. The darkness was suppressed under the impact of thunder, its nemesis. The source of transformation once again gave birth to a new world tree that was completely opposite to darkness.
"At present, the power of this tree of light is still too weak to balance the origin of darkness. It will still take a long time."
Jiang Jue spoke.
After a few breaths, the dark ancient tree behind Jiang Jue completely disappeared, and was replaced by a golden ancient tree that was only ten feet in size. Thousands of ripples penetrated the endless void. Although there was not the shocking sense of oppression like the dark ancient tree, the sea of thunder calmed down again after losing its traction. Of course, this was only relative, as the violent thunder penetrated the void all the time.
However, at this moment, Jiang Jue's aura was full of endless vitality, as if he could give birth to all things in the world again and reflect the will of heaven and earth. The crystal clear golden ancient leaves emitted platinum light, nourishing all things and destroying thunder. A force has two opposite laws. This is the ultimate power that Jiang Jue has been pursuing.
The World Tree should not only be an extension of civilization, but should also be able to give birth to all civilizations. However, it is obvious that the origin of the Dark Tree cannot do this. All this still depends on the source of transformation of light.
