The Universe is Innately Just - Chapter 302

Akainmhar felt the sharpness punctuating the very fabric of space around the hand of the golden colored giant in the sky. The red haired man only needed to sense it once to be sure that that sword intent was Fell’s own.

The sharp and deadly sword intent acc.u.mulated little by little in the right hand on the giant. Forming a vast area- in the shape of a longsword- in the empty space, vibrating and shacking as thought hundreds of blades were screaming at the same time.

Akainmhar felt the sharpness of the invisible sword traverse the air, and hit his face in a stinging flurry of wind. Thunder roared, and the lightning serpent coiled itself around the body in a giant, turning into a strange tattoo that moved carefully on the humongous illusory body.

For the first time in his life, he felt his intent to fight someone lessen as he saw the acc.u.mulation hidden inside of the youth unfurl one after another. His mind had found a reason- other than the army of beasts- to avoid fighting the young cultivator as he didn’t know if he would actually be pushed through his limits.

That sharpness in the hand of the giant made him dread any thought of infighting, and his alerted sense clearly transmitted him that one attack would be enough to cut his dense body in half.

“Sword cultivator have always been a cause of trouble for body cultivators…”. He sighed softly as he didn’t take his sight out of the illusory golden giant, that didn’t make any move since its appearance. “A sword cultivator who practices three path…”, he added in horror.

He could swear that even in the top realm of the universe, such individuals with over-the-top hitting power would have been rare as a phoenix’s feather.

“Well, What will you do with this much power…”, he thought as he continued looking at the youth standing across the back of the towering beast Akainmhar stood on.

And as if Fell had heard the thought of the red haired man, another change once again happened around the illusory giant, as though clearly telling him that it wasn’t over, that he still had something else to unravel. A strange pressure arose from Fell’s body, it traversed the void, and instantly appeared behind the giant in a nearly material form.

Akainmhar’s eyes swiftly identified the new source of power as being the strongest of them all. As though it merely stood on a higher realm than the other, even saying that it was their own source of stability wouldn’t be wrong.

That power was the last to manifest, and was also the manifestation that was the least noticeable in the beginning. Behind the Illusory Golden Giant, a small sapling sprouted in the void and appeared out of thin air behind the giant. It first began as a tiny seed, unnoticeable when compared to the size of Illusory Giant. But Akainmhar’s eyes didn’t miss the potent strength hidden in it.

In a split second, a change happened to the small seed, and it quickly grew in an instant. The inconspicuous seedling snowballed, with small branches forming from the base, and many leaves flourishing on the appearing branches. And as though it sucked on the energy existing in its surroundings, it grew, and grew, until it turned into a magnificent tree that stood behind the Illusory Giant.

The moment the tree bloomed ultimately, Akainmhar felt that the image in front of him was finally whole, and a sense of balance and completion was exuded by the canvas in the sky.

“That seed!”, Akainmhar’s voice rose but his word didn’t leave his throat as his faced changed in color. The experienced Akainmar didn’t recognize that seed, but through his blood essence treasure, he had managed to sense its power. Even his own treasure could only roughly judge the grade of the seed, and the information that came from the Spirit of his treasure left him shocked.

The Gigantic Tree had assumed a form similar to the one it had before Fell plucked the source of strength from it. Only his own Gigantic Tree had a clear demarcation in its branches, with three thick main branches that were clearly assimilated to Fell’s tree cultivation bases flourishing more than the other.

The moment the Gigantic Tree appeared behind the Illusory Golden Giant, a change happened to the Formation they stood inside, as the massive influx of hazardous Blood Essence and Slaughter Aura that ran through the beasts- connected to the Formation- changed their direction and coursed toward the flourishing tree in the sky.

Fell had been the one that had initiated the act, as he had felt a strange tug coming from the seed inside of his Soul Palace. As though it had explained him that he could use the ambient destructive energy to boost the seed’s growth, and his own growth at the same time.

A viscous red- bubbling- Blood Essence spiraled in the air, and as the Gigantic Tree as the eye of the steaming red cyclone, a massive Blood Essence cyclone was formed inside of the Formation. A tremendously powerful suction appeared from around the Gigantic Tree, as the golden colored Illusory Giant continued standing still without showing any intention of acting.

His golden colored body was soon hidden by the torrent of viscous blood essence that streamed around him in the same way the ocean would flow around the surface of the Earth. One only needed one look to feel tiny compared to the massive scale of energy being handled at the moment.

Not only did the Gigantic Tree had begun a large scale absorption of Blood Essence, it had also begun sucking on the Slaughter Aura that Fell had been managing. And after a few seconds, the entire Formation had been high jacked by the Gigantic Tree.

Time passed quietly, as the beasts didn’t utter a single growl or hiss during that time. They silently watched as the Illusory Giant cultivated under the flourishing tree. Magnificent light was gathered on the pure crystalline leaves, and with each passing seconds, water drops in the form of pearl were slowly acc.u.mulated on the green leaves.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Each drop that fell gave the impression that it was the lightest matter existing in the universe, but the sound released by the droplet falling on the Illusory Giant caused a tremor in the sky. As though an anvil weighing hundreds of tons was falling on the densest matter of the universe.

A crystalline, and acute, metallic sound was produced with each falling drops, turning the silent battlefield into a rhythmical providence.

Akainmhar didn’t trust his eyes, but his senses clearly told him the dramatical change of pressure happening in the air. The disappearance of this much blood essence and slaughter aura couldn’t unnoticed for long, as the red haired man felt that the air around him was being purified.

Akainmhar’s nose twitched a few times, and he was surprised to find that the pungent odor coming from the blood essence of the army of beasts was being cleansed away by the Gigantic Tree behind the Illusory Giant. One only needed a single look at the north of New Casablanca to notice that the environment was also being changed.

Even the soil that had been turned red due to the past three days of constant fighting had begun regaining a healthy color, as the Gigantic Tree greedily sucked on the ambient energy without any pause. The scale of action had risen to a tremendous height, as the Gigantic Tree could even be seen from the other side of the energy barrier.

And what was vowed to happen finally happened, the scale of Fell’s action had been grand to the point where they could no longer go unnoticed from the person that had orchestrated the evil Bestial Formation. A thundering roar clapped in the clouds, and a flash of light beamed from a distance.

If one had calculated the distance of the flash of light, then he would have come to the conclusion that the source of light had been standing dozens of kilometer afar from the walls of the city. But after the blinding flash of light, a humanoid figure had appeared high in the sky, hovering in the void with red eyes that didn’t leave the Illusory Giant.

His figure was constantly trembling, and his red eyes pierced through the void as they locked on what was standing behind the Giant. His eyes couldn’t trust the reality happening in front of him, as he couldn’t understand how the Tree had ended up in the hand of his enemies.

“You took it?!”, Thol’Yr spoke between his grounded teeth. He was clenching his jaw to the utmost due to his anger, and one look at him was enough to understand that the ongoing events had caused wrath to appear in the humanoid entity of the Third Realm.

“That’s it… Good! Good! Good!”. His face turned somber with each word that left his lips. By the end of his phrase, the scintillating entity’s face had turned as dark as a fuming black hole.
