Chapter 255 - 252: New State, Zenith Origin State!
Boom!
Wei Wuyin's arms sprayed and his body felt light. Endless colorful lights were erupting from his every orifice, causing his figure to become immersed in light. His four Astral Souls had simultaneously completed their refinement, their speed and actions were synchronized as if pre-planned.
He felt the newfound power that they refined invigorate his fleshy body! It was...it was awesome! For a moment, he felt free.
Free from all burdens.
Free from life.
Free from death.
He felt enlightened, an existence no longer a part of this world. It was as if he was his own world, the beginning of a new world. His Astral Souls were brightly lit, emitting this powerful light as they absorbed the golden lightning mana they refined.
This wasn't what Wei Wuyin was feeling. It was what they were feeling! For a moment, all his senses, thoughts, and aura vanished. They vanished from this world and were remade anew. It seemed to last for an eternity as he floated in the world without a sense of self.
Then…
Split!
BOOM!
He felt himself created, four different times in four different ways. In one of these creations, he embodied the truest source of a Saber. It was domineering, tyrannical, endlessly sharp, and creates rules, laws, and existences that conformed with its existence. Everything in this created world matched its qualities. There weren't any abnormalities.
Wei Wuyin could feel himself travel through this world, going to any location with a mere thought. He held a saber in his hand, and it seemed to dominate the world. Casually, he waved his hand, and a sun composed of fiery saber light was created. With another wave, he created a river that controlled the souls of deceased sabers.
As he continued, he felt like a god. However, he knew this power originated from the saber in his hand. It was the true god of this world, and it created everything to its desire. Everything was a saber and a saber was everything.
"Is this the Saber Dao? Or something else…" He felt odd, and his first instinctual thought was to call this ability, the way the world conforms, a Dao. Slowly, he started to regain his sense of self. The saber in his hand was facilitating his immersive awakening, bringing him back to himself.
He glanced at the saber that created suns, planets, a river for deceased sabers, and more. "...King?"
"Tch!" The sound was explosive and world-crumbling. Wei Wuyin felt his entire body zoom past this newly created world and shot out of bounds. He entered a dark void that contained absolute nothingness, but where he came from, he saw a spherical object. At the center of this spherical object was a single saber.
'Astral Core? World Sea?' Just as he came to this conclusion, he abruptly experienced a burning, chilling, searing, electrifying, heavy, soft, hard, and fragrant-filled light. He turned his head and realized he was directly approaching a white spherical object. Before he could react, he pierced into it.
When he arrived, he observed an entire world of elements. The nine elements raged, and even unique elements were shifting about. He saw verdant green lightning that struck the earth, creating endless trees in its wake. These trees emitted lightning that shot upwards from time to time.
There was a storm of fire that instantly froze anything it came across, consuming all heat it came in contact with instantly.
There were countless other variations, each weirder than the next.
Now, he felt more certain. He had entered the world of his Astral Cores.
However, this world was already created. Above was a white sun that contained all nine elements, shifting endlessly above without constant form, and it ruled over everything within this world. It was this world's god.
'Is this what an Astral Soul sees? Is this their lives? To act as gods for their own created worlds?' He was astonished to the extreme by this. Even with his connection, he never knew this. He merely drew energies from these worlds, creating astral force and manipulating it. No wonder its called the World Sea Phase.
After his amazement, he pouted slightly. "No wonder they were unsatisfied with not reaching the limits of their worlds. How selfish." The moment he thought this, he felt the brilliant rays of light from the white, ever-shifting sun.
"Out! Out! Out!" Wei Wuyin heard this voice and smiled. King kicked him out after a while, but only after showing him what he was capable of. After that, he was sent out. It seemed these Astral Souls of his were quite territorial.
And King was a show-boater.
And quite rude.
Wei Wuyin bitterly smiled as he got the message from Ori. He willed his current form away, exiting out of the world. But when he did, staying at the edge of this world, he realized there were only these two worlds here. He couldn't sense or connect with Eden or Kratos.
Well, even if he could, he didn't want to enter Kratos's world. He didn't know if he'll be sent to some ungodly journey through time once again. Moreover, he realized that in the Divine Elemental Astral Core, there was an outline of his body there.
He felt connected to it entirely. If he wanted, he could shift back into it with a mere exertion of his will. His eyes brightened as he turned to the Divine Saber Astral Core, noting the same feeling. It seemed that when he 'felt' himself split into four different pieces, these pieces were like shells for which his mind could enter.
As for now, he was merely a wad of indistinguishable light. This was the basic form of his thoughts, the truest shape of one's thoughts.
That being said, while he didn't understand exactly how or what was happening, he did know what King and Ori were experiencing at the moment.
Within their bodies was a newfound power, and it seemed capable of birthing worlds. Whatever it was, it allowed him to visit these worlds. Perhaps it was an unintended side-effect, but he soon connected with his actual body and felt it. He was currently standing completely absent-minded, his mind had been condensed in its entirety somehow and brought into his dantian.
This was his Mental Incarnation. He had performed these before, but only in his sea of consciousness. Now, he felt as if his mental energies can exist anywhere and solidify into anything. He might even be able to project his consciousness beyond his body.
While he felt it was possible, he had no intention to test this out. After all, that didn't have any purpose besides causing his body to become completely useless.
Wait…
He closed his eyes and connected with his second mind. Immediately, his second mind awakened. As if feeling an abruptly vacant void, it instantly took over his mind. He felt the connection and felt surreal.
He now had dual vision. He had the vision of his dantian and the outside world. With a little experimentation, he could control his second mind with utter ease. After a while, he sealed his second mind once more and returned to his sea of consciousness.
When he fully returned, he felt a distinctive difference. This difference wasn't simply body-based, but the nearby ambient mana was quivering slightly to his presence. It wasn't out of fear, but excitement. It reminded him of how he felt after completing his ninth-grade pill, producing the Stellar Manifestation of the Mortal Sovereign.
He stretched his body, and even without thought, the mana of the world moved alongside him. He was startled. Ambient mana, normally, didn't move. It was still and constant. The only time it shifted or changed was due to those at the Sky Ruler Phase executing their Sky Pressure, something like Long Chen's Imperial Astral Soul's unique powers, when cultivator's absorbed it, or an Astral Tribulation descended.
Besides an external force, it never reacted.
But his every movement seemed to become an external force, and this wasn't just movement, but excitement. He felt the ambient mana attempt to enter his pores, rubbing against his body as if begging to be let in. His left eyelids chaotically twitched. What was this?
The sensation was incomparably awkward. He felt as if he was being molested. While that sounded strange to hear, it truly was the case! He used his Sky Pressure, exerting his will and pushing it away a little.
WOOSH!!!
BOOOOOOOOSHHHH!!!
His action produced an unexpected reaction that was incomparably volatile and violently explosive. The ambient mana shook and left actively into every direction away from him, violently crashing against his sky palace. The protective formations and arrays activated, but it was useless as it toppled. In seconds, the gushing cascade of ambient mana caused his entire sky palace to be reduced to rubble.
Both his eyelids twitched chaotically and uncontrollably. He looked around him, realizing the devastation that was brought by a single desire. These arrays and formations would make it difficult for Third Stage Astral Core Realm cultivators to destroy his Sky Palace. But now…
He felt like crying but had no tears.
'This is abnormal!' The ambient mana came rushing back as if ignoring his previous desire, filling the space he occupied. When it reached two inches away from him, it once more became excited and started its very uncomfortable rubs once more. Despite this sensation, he realized his control over the world's mana was far, far greater than before.
Furthermore, the ambient mana seemed to be attracted to him as if wanting to return home. He hurriedly sought an explanation from his Astral Souls, but they were still undergoing their transformations. He sighed softly, but a voice resounded.
"Origin Essence! Zenith Origin State!" It was Eden. After this, it went back to slumbering as if trying very hard to achieve the best possible transformation.
"..." Wei Wuyin's heart raced uncontrollably. Did they...just��
Since he started his tribulation, he felt that his cultivation base was going to veer away from the norm, likely jumping beyond his current limits. Was this it? And if so, what will this transformation lead to?
A constant bombardment of endless, thunderous, and explosive excitement erupted within his heart, mind, and soul. He was thrilled to find out.
