Chapter 647: Reaching The Undying Realm...
Right in front of them was a throne room. A throne room gleamed with opulence, bathed in a pristine white palette that exuded elegance and purity.
Tall arched windows allowed streams of natural light to cascade across the marble floors, polished to a mirror-like sheen.
Intricately carved columns, adorned with lavish gold filigree, rose to meet a vaulted ceiling embellished with frescoes of celestial scenes.
At the center, an imposing crystal chandelier sparkled, casting a soft radiant glow over the room. At the far end of the throne room, in menacing contrast to the beauty of the room, was a throne painted in the crimson color of blood, and on it sat a giant!
A giant of about three meters tall, humanoid, with a waterfall of blood-red hair.
His crimson eyes radiated the light of a bloodthirsty animal, his body seemingly like that of a Greek god.
His eyes locked onto him, a strange prey-like scan on him as he studied him with a mocking smirk.
“Your Majesty...” Mr. Doraimon greeted, getting on both knees. Yet to his utmost surprise, the psychopathic prince, whose greatest fear was none other than his own father, remained on his feet.
‘Just what has come over the prince this time...’ he thought to himself silently.
“How interesting. Just what has come over my cowardly son, daring to look me in the eye...” he said out loud, his voice booming through the entire room.
Yet his call was replaced by silence as the sound of footsteps rang through the hall, and Hades walked towards his father, coming to stand just a few centimeters away from him.
Even though Hades was standing, he still had to arch his head up a little just to look directly into the man’s eyes, revealing his crazy height.
“What did you just call me?” The voice, like a quiet whisper, rang out as General Asmodus raised an eyebrow at his son’s weird behavior, but his amusement only increased, causing his smirk to widen even more.
“You, my cowardly son!” he proclaimed. Hades’ eyes looked into the distance, his expression like a man lost, before suddenly his lips parted, and a small chuckle soon escaped his lips, which soon turned into a devilish smile, as the air around Hades crackled.
“Hahahahahahaha! Son!? I am your son!?” he asked in between laughter and mockery. “Ever since I could think, I have had just a single goal that burned brighter than my own will to live.
To one day find out who my real father and mother are. And you claim to be my father. Hahahaha, now I understand! I understand it all, you damn heavens.” Hades said with a laugh of mockery, as thousands of memory pieces flashed back into his head.
Powerful astral energy undulated from his body, his silvery hair elongating by more than three times, and his gigantic astral ring revolving in the air, every revolution giving the illusion of entire planets in rotation.
An incredible law of hegemony seemingly pressed down on everything around the area, and even the Grand Elders themselves had their jaws dropping to the ground when they discovered that they were slowly losing their ability to remain stable in the air.
“I am disappointed by such a stupid test!” Zeras spat out in disdain as he watched the dark clouds slowly clear off. Zeras also retracted his rings back into his body, the anger in his eyes slowly fading away.
Stretching his hands forward, he violently tugged at the space in front of him, tearing open a dimensional hole before disappearing into it, the hole also closing behind him.
“He passed it. The Unpassable Mind Tribulation test that entraps a cultivator within his own deepest heart desire!”
“Did you notice that aura? His aura of hegemony! It reached a completely new level after he passed the test. The aura affected me! This could only mean one thing...” Grand Elder Swordsworth said, his eyes flashing with graveness...
“He has reached the Undying Rank!”
———————————–
“Undying Rank. Possessing the power to bring anything back to life...” Zeras whispered, clenching his fist tightly, his eyes flashing with a gleam of light. “Now I understand. I understand everything...” he mused to himself in understanding.
It had always piqued his curiosity how the figure from his clan had been able to bring Jason Celestria back to life, and only now did he realize how. It all rested on the new power that is forged from ever reaching the Undying Rank. A power that he had been oblivious of but could now sense in the elders. The source of undying.
It was present in the dantian of every undying cultivator, and in his own case, it was present in his spine. It was the true source of undying itself.
An accumulation of life energy since his beginning of cultivation shared into two parts. Such a power was even enough to bring back a dead person to life!
While each cultivator possesses two, they could also live on just one. That gives the Undying Realm expert their power, to bring back to life another, by sharing their one life core. But such a sacrifice wasn’t so simple. Since the core is one’s accumulation of energy since their beginning of cultivation, parting one half of it away would be like parting away with half of one’s lifetime cultivation!
It wasn’t something that could be easily given out at all. Just what type of psychopath would give out half of his own lifetime cultivation?
Only two people that Zeras knew could do that. The first was Vornek, who had willingly shared half his own lifetime potential to rejuvenate him, and the other was that guardian from his clan.
The one who had given his own life core away just so Jason Celestria could raise him up.
