Chapter 176 Achieving the Core Formation realm, The seed of Rules! (3)
Ehh?
Seemingly noticing the countless small buds of life growing within his consciousness, Leo immediately shifted his gaze toward the vast land beneath him- feeding Qi toward his Restrain skill to reduce the effects of his debuff passive skill... Wanting to avoid the accident earlier.
...
"Being born only to wait for death... Experiencing countless hardship and emotions before transcending one's life."
Countless thoughts and ideas flashed within his mind as he silently watched the vibrant grass quickly grow with his senses, watching it experience the drought, watching it experience the rain... Beholding its being enduring the heavy storm, beholding its being sway under a soft breeze...
Watching it quickly become old before dying due to its limited life span.
"I see, without elevating one's natural life order, then mortal beings could only die due to their limited lifespan..."
Leo pondered deep within him, gazing below as he quickly saw a small mouse being born under the ashes of grass, squeaking innocently as it stared around it in pure curiosity... Experience more tales on empire
Beholding again another cycle of unending death... the inevitable one.
Watching the rat grow up, experience every emotion before dying due to starvation, before becoming a powder afterwards.
***
Slowly, Leo's thoughts inexplicably become clearer as he continues watching the unending death within his consciousness... in a cold-blooded manner, already becoming numb from watching death unfold in his very senses for countless times...
Seemingly only waiting for inevitable death to claim the life below... Grasping the corner of its meaning, unhurriedly comprehending its core reason as he keeps absorbing its vast knowledge.
"Elevating one's life order, going beyond the set order of heaven... The Inevitable death...'
"Keke~ are you hinting me that going beyond the natural set order of heaven would lead beings to inevitable death?'
"Or you are hinting me that the rule of Inevitable Death was born due to the natural set order of heaven?'
Leo chuckled in a soft voice, feeling tired all of a sudden upon gaining large amounts of knowledge in just a short span of time... Unable to process them all quickly as it leads to him having a slight headache.
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon comprehending a rule under the Dao of Death, the Rule of Inevitable Death 10%! ]
...
[ Rule of Inevitable Death (10%): The Rule of the Inescapable Death. One of the major rules under the Dao of Death!
Gaining a basic understanding of death, allowing one to have a basic intuition of danger that includes death, making one able to escape and decrease the chances of Death!
Effects: Permanently increase the host Death affinity by 2.5!
Note: Mastering a certain rule would basically allow a being to go beyond its rule and fuse with its rule! ]
...
Upon comprehending the rule for a full 30 minutes, the space and land within his consciousness suddenly shook loudly, cracking similar to a thin mirror as it burst into small fine pieces, blanketing the place in familiar darkness- kicking Leo out within his mind as he appeared in the familiar passage, being bombarded by an unending streak of lightning...
Although it couldn't touch the surface of his physique due to the green aura that weakened its might.
Staring above at the weakening black lightning, Leo heaves a sigh of relief before again closing his eyes tightly- starting to create his domain based on the instinct that suddenly emerged within his being.
Knowing that the creation of heaven (after its punishment) was unconsciously guiding him in creating his domain.
Leo began to follow its lead, closing his eyes as he began to create a seed within his being, an empty yet withered seed that exists in incorporeal form- slowly filling it with his comprehension and understanding of certain rules, filling it with its vastness as its surface slowly began to emit an aura of death...
Followed by its discharging of faint aura, the surface of the seed slowly becomes smoother, as its withered figure slowly begins to expand in size, making it rounded in the process.
...
Unhurriedly, Leo's understanding of Inevitable Death fills the interior of the seed, making its figure plump as its size which was comparable to a sesame seed emitted an intense aura of Death... affecting his physique in a good way as it slowly tempered it in the process!
"It could create a new domain, but its strength might not be able to compare to my Domain of Despair...'
He thought as he glanced toward the weakening lightning above him that might dissolve in a few minutes...
"This... The creation was still flowing toward my being?'
(Since the lightning still hadn't dissipated, it was still sending a hint of creation to Leo's being.)
***
Feeling enlightened, Leo hurriedly created a new seed within the depths of his being, using the remaining creation that lingered in the atmosphere as he quickly fill it with his understanding of the rule of Life Nature.
"How amazing, so it means that a being could create at least two to three domains when they were advancing toward the Core Formation realm!
"The only thing that holding them back is their comprehension of rules! Although they might learn a number of Rules, the percentage they comprehend might not be enough to create it into a new domain!'
Leo thought, feeling excited all of a sudden as he began to fill the seed with his comprehension of Life's Nature... Making it release an unfamiliar aura as its size instantly expands by folds!
Compared to the "Seed of Inevitable Death", the size of the "Seed of Life Nature" was at least 5 times larger than the latter!
Causing him to conclude that it has a connection to the difference of percentage he comprehended in different rules!
With how high his comprehension regarding the rule of Life Nature, he should have already half expected it!

Ding!
"Huff~ Finally, I couldn't fill it any longer...'
Leo sighed softly, feeling that he already fed all of his understanding of the two rules toward the two seeds within him- quietly beholding their plump figure as they subconsciously tempered his soul, physique, and being...
Causing him to feel an unprecedented euphoria that he cannot describe, making his strength increase by a little every second.
Although his overall strength was increasing every second, it was similar to a drop of water that fell toward a vast ocean! It's almost non-existent!
"Keke~ however, the increase of strength would slowly accumulate within my being... to the point that it would show its effect after an unknown period of time...
"Even if it shows after months, years, or decades, who cares? The only thing that was important was that my strength was constantly increasing!'
Laughing within while the lightning in the atmosphere coincidentally churns in weak sound that sends ripples toward the unknown depths of the passage... Seemingly unwilling as its might begin to dissolve within the void...
Leo again closed his mind, carefully guiding the two seeds within his being toward his gaseous core, entering its depth that was churning with weak lightning, dyeing the compressed Qi in its surface with black and green colour.
"This...'
Watching things that he couldn't explain unfold within his soul, Leo's mouth couldn't help but gape slightly, seemingly understanding something, yet, at the same time not.
"They seem to be helping each other grow... The seeds make my Qi contain a minute of their understanding, making the Qi more dangerous and unpredictable in the process...
"While on the other hand, the Qi help the seeds to temper their shells, making my understanding within the interior and exterior of the seed to become solid!"
This...
"Wait! There's still an extra seed within my core!'
Leo suddenly exclaimed upon discerning the small figure of grey seed, hiding in the corner of his gaseous core, seeing its being that was emitting an intense baleful aura- causing him to fall silent as he began to ponder within...
"The Domain of Despair?'
***
Boom!
At the same time, outside his mind, the lightning within the atmosphere churned loudly for the last time, accumulating its last-ditch effort to kill the advancing being below it... Before dissolving afterwards.
Instantly shrouding the passage in familiar pure darkness as the thick ink black water that evaporated earlier began to fill the beneath, surging from the unknown depths as it again filled the dilapidated place with sticky puddles...
Its unprecedented coldness instantly seeps into Leo's physical manifestation of the soul! Instantly causing his naked yet pale body to subconsciously shiver, making his eyelids twitch before abruptly opening... Displaying his cold yet emotionless grey eyes beyond!
Ding!
Boom!
Not even a second passed by, toward the unknown depths of the passage, a loud gushing sound entered Leo's ears, attracting his attention as he behold the thick dark fog (Condense Qi), similar to water that broke through a dam instantly filled every nook of the place...
Before entering his pores in large quantities, transforming his being or to be exact, making it transcend its natural life order- making his unknown lifespan increase by large amounts... Causing him to groan in bliss.
