Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 479 Instant Enlightenmen

"Should we do something about this? I am having a bad feeling just by looking at that..." General Glaivewood said in a low tone as he and Sir Xote continued to observe the energy flood warily.."No matter which way you look at that, that flood is still something that came from the Abyss. With my knowledge about those bastard monsters, having that thing come here is not good!"

"Shush! Do you think you can do something against that flood? That has the traces of the Abyss’ Law itself! Touch it, and you will immediately die!" Sir Xote hissed back as he flicked his appendages on Delia’s clones. "Only Emperor Litch can deal with that flood, and he is still not here! So there’s no way for us to deal with whatever that was!"

"So we would just watch here and let that flood wreak havoc on us?"

"No, we won’t be exactly doing that. That flood... did not appear here to wreak havoc on us. It was here... for a different kind of reason." Sir Xote replied, with its voice now full of envy. "Tsk, whoever that damned user of that tree is, he really is lucky to summon the Abyssal Flood here! Ugh.... If I was just in his place!"

"A different kind of reason? Sir Xote, you better explain what you just said!"

"...General Glaivewood, you see that black rock that was on top of the 7-branched tree? That is no ordinary rock. That rock right there is an inert Transcendence Shard, which still had no aura of Law in it." Sir Xote said as its body visibly trembled. "Tsk, why did kind of thing appear here? Now I am so f**king jealous!"

The tone that Sir Xote was speaking with right now showed the jealousy that it was experiencing, something which General Glaivewood did not understand.

Sir Xote’s next words however cleared up all of General Glaivewood’s confusion, and it also decreased his worries.

"The only thing that can activate that rock is the pure essence of Law materialized from the Abyss itself. Granted, doing that is hard, since contacting the Abyss is almost difficult, and those who do dies... But this guy clearly is not affected by that! He actually found a way to materialize the law into an effing flood and then use it on the Transcendence Shard! F****kkk! this method is just making me much angrier that I cannot help but laugh!" Sir Xote muttered as he let out a grumbling laugh.

His appendages then shook in great distress, as if what he was saying was enough to bring him to the brink.

"Hahaha! Whoever thought of summoning an Abyssal Flood to activate the Abyss Transcendence Shard is a genius and a madman! He is clearly desperate and is in need of a power-up!" Anger and envy continued to flow out of Sir Xote’s words as it spoke, which showed it clear animosity on the dark figure that has summoned the rift and the energy flood.

"Argh! F**k this man! Why should he get something like this and not me? What the f**k did this madman do to be treated this well by the Abyss, huh? Argh!"

While Sir Xote continued to rage like a child at this moment, General Glaivewood on the other hand began to cool down as he analyzed Sir Xote’s answer.

"So... this whole flood is nothing more than just a way to create a Transcendence Shard? If that’s the truth then there’s nothing that we should fear about it ." General Glaivewood’s said as relief flooded his body. "Once that dark rock absorbs all the energy from the energy flood, that energy flood will disappear. After that happens, the rift will surely close and then nothing special else will happen...."

The General then began to smile at this point, as all of his worries from earlier went away like evaporated alcohol.

" Hehehe, and here I thought a Transcendent Being will be summoned here to kill us! Thank the Emperor that did not happen!"

"Hong~"

Genreal Glaivewood appeared to be really blessed by luck today, as after he gave his declaration, the flood energy that he had been watching was suddenly absorbed by the dark rock.

"Woosh~"

All the suppressive power and domineering presence that the energy flood had were all absorbed by the dark rock too, which led to all the powerhouses regaining their powers.

Even the scared sensation that had been plaguing General Glaivewood earlier had disappeared too, probably also absorbed by the dark rock.

"Woosh woosh woosh!"

Even though its size was comparable to that of several continents, the whole energy flood was still easily obtained by the dark rock. The rock only needed 10 seconds to fully subsume the whole energy flood to its body, something that not even General Glaivewood expect to see.

"Shung~"

Once all of the energy flood was gone, the dark rock began went back to its usual inert state, with its body not showing anything special once more. It just liad back on the top of the 7-branched tree like it was just a normal rock, something that made General Glaivewood sigh in more relief.

"Now that I have seen what that rock can do, I can confirm that that rock is indeed a Transcendent Shard...." General Glaivewood uttered as he materialized 5 cat-like beings behind him. He then threw this cats towards Alina and Milo, who then began doing their best to hack these things down. "Since that is a Transcendent Shard, then I should not worry about another powerful player entering the fray..."

With General Glaivewood’s exceptional senses, he could definitely feel that the 7-branched tree was just a representation of the Abyss Power, and the real controller of it was the dark figure hovering beyond it. As for the power of this figure, General Gliavewood was sure that this figure was only at the peak of the Fifth Stage. Granted, this figure looked like he could give a fight on some Sixth Stage Beings, but that kind of power was something that just made the General shake his head.

"Since this figure is at the peak Fifth Stage, he must have been planning to use the Abyss Transcendence Shard to reach the Sixth Stage. After all, even if the Transcendence Shard is only of a great help to those who want to reach Transcendence, it’s residual aura is still enough to help a Fifth Stage Being to reach the Sixth Stage!" General Glaivewood then shook his head at this point, with the amused smile on his face showing how relaxed he is right now. "If that’s the truth, then I should be really less worried here!"

"After all, even if this dark figure reaches Sixth Stage, his power will won’t be enough to change the course of the battle. At most he can slow down one of us for a few seconds, but that’s just it! Nothing else beneficial will happen to them!" General Glaivewood continued to say with glee as he refocused 80% of his attention back on fighting. "And besides, a Transcendence Shard can only be used to assist breakthrough, and not for attacks...."

"Tsk, lucky bastard. I hope he fails in his breakthrough." The one who said these words was Sir Xote, who appeared to have recovered from his outburst earlier. His body was littered with more injuries at this point, something which had been caused by this tantrum. "Out of all the reasons that he could have, this bastard actually only summoned the Abyss Transcendence Shard to reach Stage Sixth! That f***king son of a b***h Using an important Transcendence Shard just for you to reach the Sixth Stage is so irritating! Agh! I hope you really mess up and get eaten by the Abyss later!"

"I don’t really sympathize with your words, but I also hope that whoever that dark figure was, he will fail on his breakthrough." General Glaivewood muttered in a wince as he nodded his head. "Even if this dark figure just becomes a low-grade Sixth Stage Being, he might be able to provide some nuisance on us. So as much as possible, him failing will be good for us."

"Tring!" Right after General Glaivewood said these words, the dark figure, which had been standing still since the appearance of the energy flood, began to make his move once more.

He grabbed the white jade tablet with his right hand, and he then crushed it with his power, turning the whole jade tablet into a massive dust cloud that the dark figure began to inhale.

"Swoosh..."

With the dark figure’s massive body and sudden actions, all of the dust particles of the jade tablet was sucked right into its mouth, creating a massive twister of dust that was headed straight towards the dark figure’s head.

" Swoosh..."

These dust particles successively released their own resplendent glow in a possible attempt to stop the dark figure form what he was doing. This worked, as the dark figure let out a hiss of pain from the brilliance that was hitting his body now.

But this method became short-lived, as the dark figure only let out a grunt before it resumed on absorbing the jade dust.

This time around, there was really nothing else that stopped the dark figure from inhaling all the jade dust particles.

This of course led to the dark figure continuing its task leisurely, and before anyone could stop it, the jade dust was now all gone.

....

All are now inside the dark figure’s body, who seemed to be satisfied with what happened.

"Hong~"

Some changes quickly happened right after the dark figure absorbed the jade dust, with the most notable change being the one that happened on the 7-branhced tree itself.

This tree’s 6th branch, which had not been showing signs of activity since before, suddenly let out a resplendent glow as its body began to enlarge.

"Krusa....’

Hymns of patience, wisdom and forgiveness rang out in the air as the 6th branch continued to enlarge, and it only stopped once it became as large as the other glowing branches.

"Rustle rustle..." The whole tree appeared to be in great spirits at the appearance of this 6th branch, with its first 5 glowing branches rustling in what looked like to be a welcome greeting.

Only the 7th and the final branch did nothing at all, as its body was still unlit at this point.

"THE FIRST TO SIXTH BRANCHES ARE NOW ESTABLISHED. ONLY ONE MORE REMAINS, AND MY GLORY FOR THE ABYSS SHALL BE UNLEASHED ON EVERYONE PRESENT!" The dark figure suddenly said, with its slight smooth voice making him sound a little immature. Nonetheless, the dark figure’s unsettling appearance and aura was enough to make him look just as dangerous as before.

"Tsk, so that jade was meant to light up the branches? I expected something else..." Sir Xote began to say as he did his best to not reel from the dark figure’s unsettling words. "Since this monster is counting the number of branches lit, does that mean that he can step into the Sixth Stage by lighting up all 7 branches? If that’s the case, then he only needs one more branch to light up... Oh. So that’s where’s the Transcendence Shard will be used for..."
