Lord of All Realms

This wisp of soul had long since been isolated from his fleshly body and all of his sub-souls.

Therefore, it had no idea what his true self, sub-souls, and doppelgänger were doing at this moment.

WHOOSH!

Beams of life light continued to shoot from the depths of the blood sea like gorgeous rainbows.

His wisp of soul continued to be hit from time to time.

Every time it was hit, the profound truths of life and secrets of life power the beam of light carried would be naturally imprinted on it.

However, most of the knowledge was obscure and hard to understand.

Soon, he realized something.

This wasn’t the first time he had entered his Blood Realm. All of his previous visits had been brief, where he had felt exhausted shortly after his entry and his soul had been returned to his body.

This time, however, he wasn’t feeling exhausted at all, even though he had already been here for quite a long time.

He found this rather unusual.

All of a sudden, he spotted an emerald-green shape in the distance. “Hmm?!”

Deeply intrigued, he couldn’t help but change directions and fly towards it.

He gradually approached it.

Soon, he discovered that the emerald-green shape was also in pure soul-form, and was a cluster of soul awareness.

After he came close enough, the emerald-green shape seemed to suddenly notice his existence, and morphed into a small emerald-green tree.

It was so young and fresh that it seemed to be made of water.

A sense of familiarity instantly struck Nie Tian. “The Tree of Life! It’s the third-generation Tree of Life!”

He was convinced that this small emerald-green tree in front of him was the Tree of Life he had met once that was rooted in the eye of a titan: the third-generation Tree of Life!

The light of life shooting from the depths of the blood sea was also piercing through it from time to time, imparting the profound truths of life.

“It’s doing the same thing I am!”

Nie Tian instantly realized that like him, the third-generation Third-generation had also entered the origin of its bloodline through some special method to seek the ultimate secrets of life power.

Seeing how active the Tree of Life was, he had a feeling that compared to him, it might be easier for it to approach the heart of the blood sea, where that mysterious magnetic field lay.

Sensing his approach, the third-generation Tree of Life sent him a wisp of somewhat vague soul awareness. “It’s you... I’ve got to thank you for what you did in the Silent Star Sea.”

Grand Monarch Primal Wood of the Floragrims had only been able to join the ranks of late tenth grade grand monarchs because of the power the Tree of Life had bestowed upon him.

It was also because of it that Grand Monarch Primal Wood had been able to form an alliance with the Ancientspirits, go find him in the Silent Star Sea, and stop the branch of the Nether River with his help.

It had also created the Floragrims. Every Floragrim grand monarch, including Grand Monarch Heavenly Wood and Grand Monarch Life Wood, viewed it as the origin of their bloodline.

It was a mighty existence that was able to create new species and vest grand monarchs with power!

Every time Nie Tian recalled the unforgettable scene where the colossal first-generation Tree of Life had pierced through numerous realms with its enormous branches, he would feel deeply shaken.

This Tree of Life in front of him only looked so small because it was the third-generation, and it was just a soul shadow.

Knowing its background, Nie Tian was full of veneration when facing it.

Plus, Nie Tian had obtained Fruits of Life from it when he had been young and weak.

From what he had learned, it had been an intelligent existence with its own awareness the whole time, which meant he had only been able to pick those Fruits of Life because it had let him.

Nie Tian continued to fly towards it, saying, “You’re welcome. Who would have thought that my speculation was actually correct, and our bloodlines do share the same origin? The only difference between us is that the life power you inherit mostly carries wonders of the life of vegetation, while the life power I inherit is mainly regarding beings in fleshly forms. After all, I’m a fleshly being.”

The third-generation Tree of Life responded with a soul message. “I have sensed your existence since the day you awakened your bloodline. I also know that your soul awareness has never left the blood sea, since you spent all of your time here exploring the wonders of the blood sea. But again, your current strength doesn’t allow you to leave the blood sea yet.

“However, now that I’m here, I can show you around.”

“What do you mean?” Nie Tian was baffled.

“I’ll show you what the starry river was like at the very beginning.” With these words, the Tree of Life’s soul shadow rapidly morphed and enveloped Nie Tian’s soul shadow like an emerald-green bubble.

Then, like a beacon light, the emerald-green bubble slowly rose out of the endless blood sea that Nie Tian had been doing his utmost to explore.

Innumerable drops of scarlet Blood Essence had come together to form this endless blood sea, the origin of Nie Tian’s bloodline.

At this moment, however, he was carried out of the blood sea that he had been restricted to till this point by the Tree of Life like a fish being scooped out of the sea.

Suddenly, he discovered that his wisp of soul had left the blood sea and was rising higher and higher into the sky.

From his point of view, the endless blood sea still seemed to be boundless and filled with unfathomably immense flesh power.

However, after emerging from the sea, he could finally see things he hadn’t been able to see before.

He saw chaotic multicolored currents that seemed to contain every type of power that was known to man, such as spiritual Qi, Devil Qi, Nether Qi, Death Qi, and sparks of starlight...

The vast variety of them floated over the endless blood sea like clouds of different colors.

A misty cyan river suddenly entered his view. It floated and stretched as far as the eye could see in this chaotic heaven and earth. He couldn’t see either end of it.

“The Nether River!”

Upon seeing the river, Nie Tian shuddered and had a peculiar feeling that his wisp of soul aspired to fly into it.

In both the Silent Star Sea and the Seven Stars Realm Sea, he had derived enlightenment from the Nether River and taken soul imprints into his true soul.

All of a sudden, another glorious river manifested in another area in the heavens, though it didn’t cross the Nether River.

Staring at the river and sensing the flow of time in it, Nie Tian exclaimed, “The river of time!”

Then, he continued to glance around. That was when he spotted an area enveloped in extreme darkness in the midst of the mists of various colors. The essence of dark power exuded from it.

Then, there was an unfathomably-high pale-gray mountain peak that was filled with death power.

The Tree of Life’s soul message echoed in Nie Tian’s mind, suddenly enlightening him. “Life manifests as a sea, soul and time manifest as rivers, death manifests as a mountain peak, while darkness manifests as blackness. This is the place where the bloodlines of all species originated, and what this starry river was like at the very beginning.”
