The blurry sword-light emanating from Ning’s entire body illuminated the Daomerge Firecloud Flower, causing it to levitate into the air. “Arise.” The black-robed Ning opened his eyes, staring at the Daomerge Firecloud Flower within the jade box. This was also the state one needed to be in order for the Daomerge Firecloud Flower to unleash its true potential. This would be the most dazzling moment of their life, and it was only in this state that the Daomerge would even be possible. This was the light of the Dao! Or to be precise, this was the light of the Omega Sword Dao, and its power was covering him and protecting him.Įvery single Daolord would emanate the light of the Dao when they began the Daomerge. Countless streaks of sword-light emanated from Ning with such power as to cause even Hegemons to shudder.
If someone was standing nearby, that person would quickly discover that the white-robed Ning and the black-robed Ning were both beginning to glow with blurry sword-light. The godgems, previously coalesced with his fourth-step Daolord energies, began to disassemble and then advance to a completely new level of existence! The towering Dao-tree within his body was shaking as well, as all of the insights represented by those branches and leaves began to gather together. Boom! Every single godgem in his body began to tremble. “The Flower of Eternity… an eternal body…” Ning exerted his will. The godgems would forever give birth to new chaosworlds. If he became an Eternal Emperor, every single one of his godgems would transform into a Worldheart, even if his truesoul was somehow extinguished. What he needed to do was to gather together all of these insights, then transform them all and cause his Dao-tree to give birth to a beautiful Flower of Eternity! His divine body would then transform to become a truly eternal body. Countless insights began to resonate through his mind and soul. The towering Dao-tree’s branches and leaves were the material representations of Ning’s insights. Ning visualized the Dao-tree within his Jindan chaos region. They also contained Ning’s insights into his Omega Sword Dao. Each godgem contained his divine power, his soul, his truesoul, and more. He began to visualize the inside of his divine body, formed from a total of 108,000 godgems. Over in Vastheaven Palace, the white-robed Ning in Vastheaven Palace swallowed his own spirit-pills, activated the incense from the Stone Censer of Reunion, and then closed his eyes. “Let the Daomerge begin!” The black-robed Ning closed his eyes. The jade box opened on its own, followed by a perfect Daomerge Firecloud Flower that was still attached to its roots and leaves to fly out. “The Daomerge Firecloud Flower.” The black-robed Ning waved his hand, causing a jade box to appear before the stone dais. He was far, far away from being able to completely solve it! In truth, the spirit of the estate also knew how unlikely it was that Ning would succeed, because even the other dazzling geniuses who had come before Ning had fallen far short of the mark of completing Autarch Awakener’s wishes. There were a total of ninety-nine layers to the Heart of Eternity!Įven after having returned from the Icewind Sea, Ning had only been able to solve the first twenty-two layers of the Heart. He had been alive for unfathomably more times longer than Ji Ning had, and he had reached incredible heights in his mastery of the Nine Chaos Seals. After becoming an Autarch, Awakener had reached a level of tremendous insight and understanding, and he had many treasures aiding him. The Autarch’s wishes were simply too hard to achieve.
Perhaps Master’s final wishes will then be completed.” If he can succeed in the Daomerge with the Omega Sword Dao, he will have achieved something which no one has ever done before. The elderly white-haired spirit of the estate watched silently, feeling both worried but hopeful: “I hope this kid can succeed.
