Chapter 1547: The Transcendent (1/2)

Nie Tian’s soul was deeply shaken.

Countless drops of Blood Essence had condensed into the endless blood sea that held the treasure that was the profound truths of life.

A winding river contained the wonders of souls, with innumerable powerful spirits rising and sinking in it.

Another glorious long river recorded pieces of rich history, with its one end representing the past and its other end representing the future, loaded with the secrets of time.

A lofty pale-gray mountain peak that seemed to be made of nothing but bones stood on the opposite side of the blood sea of life. Wreathed in the light of death, it embodied the Dao of death.

Then, there was an area of darkness that devoured all light that shone into it and emanated the ultimate, most essential dark power.

The Sea of Life, the River of Souls, the River of Time, the Mountain of Death, and the Origin of Darkness...

These were only the wonders the Tree of Life told Nie Tian about.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

There were many more colorful clouds and dashing streaks of light that contained mighty power in this chaotic heaven and earth, which also seemed to contain unlimited wonders that were waiting to be discovered.

All of a sudden, Nie Tian had a feeling that he was losing his soul power at an alarming rate.

Before his soul wisp had left the blood sea, his consumption of soul power hadn’t been drastic. Therefore, he hadn’t felt exhausted.

However, now that he had been enveloped by the Tree of Life and carried out of the blood sea his life bloodline corresponded to, while he was shocked by the wondrous scenes around him, he also started consuming his soul power at an unprecedented speed.

The same went for the Tree of Life.

He could see that the emerald ward that enveloped him like a balloon was growing thinner and less stable.

Sensing his rapid soul power loss, he hastily asked, “Where in the world is this place? Why is that river here? Is that the Netherspirits’ so-called Nether River? Wasn’t it transformed from Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s sea of awareness after his demise? Also, what are the relationships between that Origin of Darkness and the Dark King, the Mountain of Death and the Bone Emperor?”

WHOOSH!

The spherical ward morphed from the Tree of Life’s soul shadow dove back into the endless blood sea.

Upon returning to the blood sea, the Tree of Life resumed its form as a small, emerald green tree.

Nie Tian’s drastic soul power consumption also stopped the moment his soul shadow sank into the blood sea.

This Sea of Life was the origin of his bloodline, his Blood Realm. Therefore, it was fairly safe for his soul wisp as long as it stayed within it. However, once it left it, he would consume his soul power dozens of times more quickly.

The Tree of Life took its time to answer his questions. “The chaotic heaven and earth you just saw is the Blood Realm of All Beings. The Nether River you talked about is called the River of Souls. As far as I know, this Sea of Life has been here since this chaotic heaven and earth came into existence. As for that River of Souls, River of Time, and Mountain of Death, since they’re not the origin of my bloodline, I’m not sure when they appeared.

“But I know that the so-called Nether River that runs through the Void World, the Spirit World, and the Mortal World is only a reflection of that River of Souls.

“It was a product of Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s residual will communicating with the River of Souls.

“When that River of Souls first appeared here, the Netherspirits didn’t even exist yet. Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit was only the first to ever unravel the mysteries of the River of Souls and win its acknowledgment. That was why he was able to transcend the limits of the tenth grade.

“The Dark King of the Devils grasped the ultimate profundity of the Origin of Darkness.

“And the Bone Emperor of the Bonedrudes derived the Dao of death from that Mountain of Death.

“The three of them managed to transcend the limits of tenth grade, and were considered the most extraordinary figures throughout the three worlds.”

Nie Tian was full of veneration after the Tree of Life explained the reason why the Dark King, the Bone Emperor, and Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit had been so powerful to him.

Nie Tian felt enlightened. “So the so-called Nether River wasn’t transformed from Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s sea of awareness, but rather a mysterious manifestation, or reflection, resulting from Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s residual will communicating with the River of Souls.”
