An increasingly terrifying roar echoed deep within the earth as Yu Zi Yu’s Primary Root underwent constant transformations.
Upon closer inspection, the wrinkled bark covering it flickered with a faint darkish sheen, faintly emanating a sense of hardness.
Scales, resembling those of a Dragon, covered its entirety.
However, this wasn’t what was astonishing.
What was truly astonishing was that at the tip of the Primary Root had taken the shape of a vivid and lifelike Dragon Head.
The Dragon Head was quite majestic, with two long whiskers swaying, exuding a unique charm.
| Wood Dragon (Level 3) — The Primary Root has transformed into a True Dragon, bred by Heaven and Earth, possessing incomprehensible power. Currently, it is already a Half-Dragon.
(Note: True Dragons have no parents, and are born and nurtured by Heaven and Earth. All things are capable of transforming into Dragons.) |
Glancing deeply at the status screen, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly.
It really never occurred to him that Wood Dragon–the ability that had not made any progress for a long time, would advance so soon, reaching Level 3.
As a matter of fact, the Wood Dragon ability was not like other abilities.
The Primary Root was Yu Zi Yu’s most precious part of his body. The Primary Root’s transformation into Dragon was primarily fueled by his desire for self-preservation.
As long as the Primary Root existed, so did Yu Zi Yu. As such, having a certain combat power and even self-preservation ability was extremely important for the Primary Root.
At the beginning of this process, this bizarre ability might have been conceived by the System because of Yu Zi Yu’s pressing desire.
However, the progress of this ability had always been on the slow side. Even with Evolution Points, Yu Zi Yu reckoned that it would take hundreds of years to evolve.
Through continuous refinement, Yu Zi Yu also discovered that this ability was more like ‘Primary Root breeding a Dragon’ rather than transforming into a Dragon.
True Dragons had no parents. They were born and nurtured by Heaven and Earth.
As Dragons, True Dragons were even more powerful than Giant Dragons. As such, one could imagine how greatly Yu Zi Yu’s self-preservation ability would be enhanced if his Primary Root truly birthed a True Dragon.
Most people considered the Primary Root to be Yu Zi Yu’s weakness, but they couldn’t have imagined that beneath the earth, a True Dragon was lurking.
“Tsk tsk… Now it’s already become a Half-Dragon…” Muttering to himself, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled slightly.
Even though it was only a Half-Dragon, his self-preservation ability had increased a little.
Now, Yu Zi Yu could sense a fearsome force lurking beneath the earth, a force so strong that if he had a momentary lapse in his judgment, not to mention ordinary Tier-3 Transcendent, even the Emperors of the World, the peak Tier-3 Transcendents, would be instantly obliterated by Yu Zi Yu’s Primary Root, which had already transformed into a Half-Dragon.
[Superb!] While marveling once again, Yu Zi Yu looked solemnly at the gradually dissipating Quintessence of Jianmu within him.
Yu Zi Yu was in shock and awe over the fact that just this tiny bit of Jianmu’s Quintessence made his Primary Root undergo transformation, while greatly enhancing his strength at the same time.
Now, Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy alone has reached 80 million.
Such a vast amount of Spiritual Energy gathered at once place made it undergo a qualitative change.
Every moment and every second, Yu Zi Yu was forcefully suppressing himself from altering his surroundings.
The moment he stopped suppressing, the world centered around Yu Zi Yu would be covered with greenery in no time, depriving all other plants of their living space.
Despite accumulating such a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, it still was not the most important thing.
Yu Zi Yu’s gaze became focused, realizing that his Grand Divine Ability–the Nine Realms of Heaven, and the seven pocket spaces had all begun to transform.
*Crackle…* With a deafening clap, a thick bolt of lightning tore through the Pocket of Lighting before the entire Pocket of Lightning started expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, other pocket spaces, such as the Pocket of Flame and Pocket of Ice, also had a profound and mysterious energy surge within them.
*Boom, boom, boom…* Accompanied by the pockets shaking, all the space pockets were continuously expanding at a pace visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, if one looked carefully, they would notice that a phantom of a Tree had appeared at the center of these seven space pockets.
From afar it looked like an ox, and from up close, it appeared to have four colors circulating.
It was none other than the Diving Tree that bridged Heaven and Earth—Jianmu.
Jianmu was renowned for supporting the world and connecting Heaven and Earth.
Yu Zi Yu’s Nine Realms of Heaven happened to be seven spaces that were continuously developing and evolving towards becoming worlds.
The two interacted with each other, and most of the Jianmu’s Quintessence surged towards the seven pocket spaces supported by Yu Zi Yu, transforming into seven phantoms of a Heaven-Connecting Tree, expanding the entire space until it reached its current vast size.
This was the terrifying power of the Jianmu’s Quintessence and also the most correct way to utilize the Jianmu’s Quintessence.
The power of the Quintessence was most mysterious. It was inexplicable and mysterious, yet it was the most precious type of energy. Even Hegemons and Eternal Realm powerhouses would not sacrifice even a little bit of their Quintessence to nurture their successors.
Yet, by some twist of fate, Yu Zi Yu had obtained a wisp of Jianmu’s Quintessence and used it in the right way.
“My foundation has greatly improved in an instant.” Satisfied, a grin appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s lips.
At this moment, the Grand Divine Ability, Nine Realms of Heaven, finally possessed some power.
The seven space pockets, with a diameter of about 10,000 meters, not only could take in foreign objects, but their size had increased by several times or even tens of times over.
Just the fact that Mutant Beasts and Humans could now survive inside it was enough to excite Yu Zi Yu.
Storage was a bit outdated. Yu Zi Yu’s current Nine Realms of Heaven were truly independent worlds, capable of nurturing and sustaining life.
The only regret was that these seven spaces still could not nurture Spiritual Energy.
In other words, if one were to cultivate in the seven spaces, it would deplete Yu Zi Yu’s own accumulation.
“Uh…” Feeling somewhat helpless, Yu Zi Yu made up his mind not to let Mutant Beasts cultivate inside his seven pocket spaces.
It would be fine if they were ordinary Mutant Beasts, but if they were all like the Nine Great Beasts, then after just a few days of cultivation, the Spiritual Energy Yu Zi Yu had painstakingly stored in the seven pocket spaces might be completely depleted.
Yu Zi Yu didn’t want to engage in such a loss-making business.
However, there was one thing he was grateful for…
Yu Zi Yu had been worried about how to quietly take away the Mutant Beasts of Misty Mountains after the Third Spiritual Energy Tide. But now, it wouldn’t be too troublesome.
He could now put them all into the seven pocket spaces, then take them away. This would save him a lot of time and trouble.
With a smile in his heart, Yu Zi Yu once again began to examine his body.
Subtly, he had a feeling that his changes weren’t limited to this. Or rather, there were some subtle changes that he couldn’t discover at present.
…
At this moment, Yu Zi Yu had no idea that after he refused Jianmu’s inheritance and the position of the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, on a certain planet deep in the universe…
*Boom, boom, boom…* With the quaking of the entire planet, a towering giant Tree suddenly sprouted from the ground.
*Crackle, crackle…* Deafening thunderclaps echoed one after another, as endless lightning filled the sky above.
Adding more to the dread, vast swathes of dark clouds kept rolling in.
And these dark clouds didn’t just span over a few kilometers or even a few hundred kilometers; they covered the entire planet. Even half of the starfield was blanketed by stretching dark clouds.
*Boom…* With a deafening clap, a pair of eyes slowly opened within the depths of the dark gray clouds, indifferent and merciless, quietly gazing at the giant Tree that was still growing.
The moment the canopy of the giant Tree had entered the depths of the Tribulation Clouds, an extremely mysterious power spread out towards the entire universe with the giant Tree as the center.
“Heaven…Connecting…Jianmu…”
