17 The Fruits of Creation (1/2)

Looking at the seven fruits hanging so neatly in a row on the biggest branch of the Dark Tree within his sea of consciousness, Ling Chen had a look of anticipation on his face.

Though he didn't know why his Nascent soul was a dark tree or why his lower-dantian was a vast expanse of darkness filled with dark tree roots, he knew the origin as well the use of these seven fruits.

When he first broke through the Martial Sovereign realm and opened his upper-dantian about two years ago, the small dark tree was the only thing present within the never-ending bright space which was his sea of consciousness.

Because his lower-dantian and upper-dantian were different from the others, Ling Chen always paid close attention to them. In fact, there's never a day when he didn't check both of them. Even though he didn't know the origin of the Dark Tree and the endless void within both of his dantians, he didn't want to miss any of their changes.

As such, over the past two years, he had witnessed every single change of the dark tree and its roots within his dantians. Every single birth of a new tree root, the growing of a new tree branch and how the dark tree grew taller and bigger every time he'd killed someone and absorbed his life force. He was able to witness and enjoy every single of these moments, like a father watching the growth of his beloved child.

However, about a year ago, a major change took place within his sea of consciousness. After killing a hundred Martial Lord Ream Warriors, twenty Martial Kings and an early Martial Emperor, for the first time, the growing Dark Tree within his sea of consciousness suddenly bore fruits.

It was seven fruits in fact, and each one of them was the size of a cherry. After another year of killings and absorbing his enemies' life force, the seven fruits grew bigger and became as big as an apple.

Furthermore, from the moment the Dark tree bore those seven fruits, he had a sudden splitting headache as a pile of information about the origin and the use of these seven fruits had flowed into his mind.

It was like this information had always been there all along in his mind and was only able to access them when the Dark Tree finally bore fruits.

Because of that, Ling Chen finally was able to see the light. He has always been complaining and baffled about the origin of the Dark tree and why it was his nascent soul, however, now he knew that as long as he got strong enough, he would be able to unveil all these mysteries.

Everything he needed to know about the Dark Tree was locked in a secret place inside his mind, and the key to open that secret place was strength just like he found out about the use and the secret of the seven fruits.

According to the information he was able to unlock in his mind, the seven fruits bore by the Dark Tree were known as the Fruits Of Creation.

These fruits were like seeds that could create or produce a new life form once matured. It was unknown what kind of lifeforms these fruits would create, however, one thing was certain, these lifeforms won't be human nor kindhearted.

Though these seven fruits were still in their embryonic stages and didn't contain any sign of life, they were full with an immense destructive demonic power.

Each one of them was like a resplendent ball of destructive energy. The first one contained an immense amount of pure Lightning Energy, not any lightning but black lightning.
