Bab 881: Kekuatan Duniawi, Avatar-Avatar Dunia
Gemetar ruang tetap yang tak henti-hentinya, gemetar mana ambient, serta pergeseran dan distorsi dalam cahaya, gravitasi, dan panas membungkus Wilayah Elementus. Itu adalah kekacauan, ribut-ribut dan kejam, dan setiap makhluk hidup merasakan gejolak ketakutan muncul dalam pikir mereka.
Kepala mereka bergerak-gerak, memindai untuk mencari sumber, namun terasa seolah-olah mengelilingi mereka seluruhnya. Bagi mereka yang memiliki dasar kultivasi yang lebih tinggi, dapat menentukan titik pusat kekacauan ini. Itu berasal dari Origin, planet kemahirgian mereka dan satu-satunya rumah Sekte Elemen Sejati!
Wen Mingna dan Si De bersama-sama berada di luar courtyard Wei Wuyin. Ketika mereka merasakan perubahan lingkungan yang drastis, mereka berbalik ke arah pintu masuk Wei Wuyin, tercengang menemukan asal-usulnya.
"Apa itu?!" Si De berteriak. Sebelum ia bisa investigasi secara insting, dorongan untuk menentukan kondisi Wei Wuyin, tangan yang lembut namun kuat mencengkeram lengan, sebuah Domen Duniawi merekah untuk menyelimuti dirinya, dan Wen Mingna mengambil kendali, terbang pergi dengan segala kekuatannya. Meskipun dasar kultivasi Si De berada di tingkat Timelord, ia tidak memberikan perlawanan.
Ketika ia mencoba, ia kaget menyadari bahwa semua koneksinya ke kekuatan eksternal telah dikunci. Ia bahkan mencoba melepaskan Domain Dunianya, tetapi Jiwa Astralnya tidak merespons. Justru terasa seperti kekentalan mengendalikan kekuatannya.
Domain Dunia Wen Mingna sepertinya tidak terdampak, membuat Si De kaget.
"Kami harus pergi!" Wen Mingna berseru dengan mendesak. Ia belum merasakan bahaya hingga baru saja ini, yang membuatnya kaget dan khawatir. Tidak lama kemudian ia melarikan diri pulang lain, berhenti ketika Domain Dunianya tetap stabil dan kuat.
"Apa yang sedang terjadi?" Si De bertanya dengan sedikit ketakutan dalam suaranya. Ia tidak bisa menggerakkan kekuatannya, dan Jiwa Astralnya sepertinya telah dipaksa ke dalam keadaan tidak aktif. Ia telah hidup lebih dari seribu tahun, sebagian besar hidupnya sebagai seorang kultivator dengan kekuatan yang luar biasa, jadi situasi ini membuatnya sangat tertekan.
"..." Wen Mingna tidak menjawab segeri, menguji Domen Dunianya. Ia bisa merasakan bahwa Benih Domain Neo-Dawn yang terbentuk dari Pil Gerhana Neo-Dawn sangat aktif. Matanya mencerahan. "Dia pasti sedang menjalani Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruangnya."
"Apa?" Seorang suara terdengar, membuat Wen Mingna dan Si De berbalik kepalanya, menemukan pasangan Lin Xianxei dan Lin Ming. Mereka tampaknya buru-buru datang dengan jalan kaki, tidak terbang juga. Ketika mereka melihat Domain Dunia Wen Mingna, ekspresi mereka menjadi aneh.
"Bagaimana kamu bisa menggunakan Domain Dunia?" Lin Ming bertanya. Ia sudah mencoba melepaskan Domain Dunianya, tetapi mustahil. Di samping itu, Jiwa Astralnya pada dasarnya telah masuk ke keadaan tidak aktif. Mereka harus menggunakan kekuatan fisik untuk bergegas. Untungnya, mereka tidak jauh.
Lin Xianxei menatap pusat perubahan, mata tertutupnya serius. Ia telah melihat banyak, banyak Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang sebelumnya, tetapi ini tidak ada miripnya dengan apa pun yang pernah ia rasakan. Sungguh intens, luar biasa menakutkan. Seolah-olah ditingkatkan seribu kali lipat... mungkin bahkan lebih!
Wen Mingna mengabaikan Lin Ming, fokus pada courtyard Wei Wuyin. Ia tahu bahwa Benih Domain Neo-Dawn mengandung serpihan kecil aura Wei Wuyin. Ia hanya tidak terdampak karena Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang tidak mencoba menekannya. Setidaknya, tidak secara langsung.
Alasan mengapa kebanyakan kultivator tingkat tinggi merasakan Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang dan yang lebih tinggi adalah sebuah peringatan yang dalam, menakutkan, dan tidak dapat ditembus dari surga. Intinya berarti: Jangan ganggu.
Sementara mereka yang melampaui Mortal Dao masih bisa terlibat, mereka akan menderita reaksi yang kejam.
Ketika Si De dan Lin Xianxei belajar bahwa Wei Wuyin hampir pasti sedang menjalani Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang-nya, mereka merasakan emosi yang berkompleks. Si De merasakan rasa takut yang intens. Ia telah merasakan kejamannya Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang, dan ingat-ingat masa lalunya masih membuatnya gemetar.
Lin Xianxei justru terpesona; aura Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang ini jauh melampaui apa pun yang pernah ia rasakan sebelumnya. Ia tak pernah merasakan Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang yang berbeda sebelumnya. Mereka semua memiliki aura yang sama, menghasilkan kekuatan dan kesulitan yang setara untuk semua tantang. Kenapa surga memutuskan untuk meningkatkan Kesengsaraan Astral Wei Wuyin?
Apa yang dia kultivasi untuk merasakan perbedaan yang begitu drastis?
"..." Mereka hanya bisa menyaksikan saat gelombang mulai mengalir ke luar seperti gelombang raksasa, menggelembung ke luar dengan suara mendengung. Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang pasti sedang dimulai!
Di langit di atas mereka, para Ascended dari Sekte Elemen Sejati berada di sana. Mereka semua memandang dengan tajam pada courtyard Wei Wuyin. Lin Xianxian paling concern; ia adalah satu-satunya Ascended yang hadir yang menyadari bahwa Wei Wuyin tinggal di sana. Ketika ia melihat anaknya dengan tiga orang lainnya, termasuk dua dari pengikut Wei Wuyin, emosi yang berkompleks muncul.
°Tidak ada yang bisa terjadi pada dirinya…° Ia baru saja menikmati manfaat asosiasi, enggan kehilangan apa pun. Jika Wei Wuyin menghilang atau mati, Zhang Ziyi pasti akan menghancurkan dirinya tanpa belas kasihan. Ia tidak bisa mengandalkan Wu Yu untuk memberinya pentingnya.
Ketika pemikiran ini muncul di kepalanya, ia menyadari bahwa sementara ia memperhatikannya, ia tidak berada di bawah naungan perlindungan Wei Wuyin; pengikut dan dukungannya bukan miliknya. Jika ia ingin melindungi anaknya dan dirinya sendiri...
Matanya melepaskan cahaya tekad. Keputusan telah dibuat.
Di atas, Zhang Ziyi dan Han Yuhei mengapung bahkan lebih tinggi. "Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang hampir setinggi seperti Ascension Bumi? Jika kita tidak memiliki Kontrol Mana Jiwa Mistik kami, aku merasa seperti tidak akan bisa tetap mengapung." Zhang Ziyi berkata dengan terkejut.
"Ada keinginan menekan yang menginfeksi aku, memperingatku. Aku belum pernah merasakan ini." Han Yuhei mengatakan sambil menutup mata, menguji kondisinya internal. Meskipun ia adalah Ascended sejati pada Fase Santo Bumi, tidak bisa dikendalikan oleh apa pun Kesengsaraan Fana yang ditingkatkan, fakta bahwa ia mencoba untuk melakukannya itu sangat tidak terduga.
"Ya..." Zhang Ziyi juga merasakannya. Ia hanya merasakan ini selama Ascensions Mistik. Ia dilarang oleh surga untuk mengganggu. Namun, ia tidak akan cukup bodoh untuk melakukannya. Ada banyak catatan Jiwa Mistik dan Tuan Demi-Fana sama-sama berusaha dengan giat untuk menyelamatkan sang anak atau pasangan saat mereka naik ke Realm Ascendant Mistik, tetapi selamat-selamat mati.
Ini adalah realitas yang menyedihkan.
Inilah sebabnya mengapa hal-hal seperti Cairan Asal Mistis, yang bisa memberi satu peluang lagi setelah kegagalan, sangat berharga di dunia kultivasi.
"Kenapa hal ini begitu kuat?" Zhang Ziyi bertanya. Ia tak pernah merasakan Kesengsaraan Astral Dunia-Ruang yang melepaskan aura yang begitu kuat. Ia hampir-hampir tidak mengekalkan kualitasnya. Dalam hal aura yang luas dan intensitas, jika ditempatkan di Mortal Dao, ia kira-kira sama. Seperti galon air dan galon minyak yang memiliki berat yang berbeda tetapi mengandung volume yang sama.
"Kami harus mengevakuasi populasi," Han Yuhei menyarankan, memberi kenyengaja kejutan kepada Zhang Ziyi. Ia bisa merasakan bahwa Kesengsaraan ini sedang meningkat. Belum selesai. Dan karena mereka semua secara sadar menyadari apa artinya Kesengsaraan ini, sebaiknya mengambil langkah yang aman.
Zhang Ziyi sedang akan berargumen tentang kebutuhannya. Bagaimanapun, ini terlihat seperti tindakan yang berlebihan untuk diambil tanpa bukti yang cukup. Namun, ketika ia menyedari berbagai kemungkinan, ia memikirkannya dan memutuskan untuk setuju, tidak berargumen seperti yang biasanya dilakukannya.
Di bawah, Wen Mingna merasakan Daos Surgawi berbisik di telinganya, Jiwa Astralnya berdenyum dalam musik surgawi. Tak ada yang lain siapa pun yang bisa mendengarnya, dan ia menatap langit. "Bersiap, kita pergi." Peringatnya, menahan Domain Dunianya.
Lin Ming mengerutkan kening. Wen Mingna telah secara tegas mengabaikan pertanyaannya. Dari beberapa alasan, ia merasa betulan bahwa wanita ini familiar, tetapi ia tidak bisa memastikan.
Si De mencengkeram tapi ketika ia merasakan tangan Wen Mingna di tangannya. Ia tenang, menatap ke atas dan sepertinya ingat insiden ketika ditarik jauh dari rumahnya, dibawa ke ruang yang tidak dikenal. Ia tidak tahu mengapa ia ingat ini. Gelombang rasa khawatir menyertapi hatinya saat ia melihat dengan matanya yang tak bisa melihatnya ke gedung Wei Wuyin.
"Dia akan baik-baik saja, aku janji." Wen Mingna lembut mengatakan, berusaha menenangkan emosi Si De. Genggaman tangan Si De yang sangat erat di sekitar tangan Wen Mingna mencerminkan keadaan stresnya. Kata-kata itu memiliki efek, dan cahaya perak turun di atas mereka, tercampur dengan kekuatan spasial di luar Mortal Limits.
Dengan keahlian yang tidak dapat dimengerti, dan usaha bersama dua Santo Bumi, seluruh populasi sedang dipaksa untuk dibawa pergi. Cara dan kekuatannya yang luar biasa, mengambil waktu yang sangat singkat sebelum seluruh planet dikosongkan, dibawa ke dalam sebuah Domain Duniawi, dan mengapung sebagai massa makhluk. Tidak peduli apa yang mereka lakukan atau siapa mereka, tidak ada yang bisa melawan.
Dalam kurang dari seratus detik, seluruh planet menjadi jelas dari semua kehidupan kecuali Wei Wuyin dan dipindahkan ke tempat lain.
-----
Saat planet dikosingi, Wei Wuyin berada di pusat aura yang semakin membesar. Atap ruangan terpencilnya runtuh, dindingnya runtuh, dan lantai penuh retak dengan kakinya tersematkan setengah meter ke dalam batu.
Di langit di atas, sebuah pusat cyclone energi spasial terbentuk, semakin besar dan besar. Retak pada lantai sepenuhnya adalah hasil Wei Wuyin; beratnya sedang ditekan ke bawah saat kekuatan gravitasi semakin kuat dengan pertumbuhan cyclone spasial.
Dia telah membentuk Black Hole sebagai Massa Gravitasi Pusat Jiwa Astralnya yang disimpan di dalamnya, namun gravitasi yang ia hadapi jauh lebih hebat dari Gravitasi Sumber Kesengsaraan Astral, dan semuanya ditujukan pada dirinya sendiri!
"..." Wei Wuyin diam-diam mengamati cyclone spasial yang tumbuh dari sepuluh mil hingga seratus mil, dan tidak kelihatan berhenti kapan saja. Kekuatan astronomi cahaya, panas, gravitasi, mana ambient, dan energi spasial tetap semakin liar. Mereka tak terkendali, mengoyak lingkungan dengan kekacauan dan kejam.
Ada sepotong debris yang melayang dan berubah menjadi houang, kilatan cahaya, dan spot kegelapan yang lengkap, dan suhu dari sangat panas hingga sangat dingin. Jika bukan karena tubuhnya yang telah disempurnakan oleh Energi Panas Mutlak dan Es Es Mutlak, ia akan merasakan ketidaknyamanan yang signifikan.
"Lebih! Lebih! Lebih!" Suara Ori penuh tawa yang tidak bisa dikendalikan. Sepertinya sangat terbersenang dengan acara ini. Empat Jiwa Astral bersinar dengan keagungan yang berbeda, seolah menggab
Chapter 881: Worldly Force, Avatars of the World
The incessant trembling of fixed space, the quivering of the ambient mana, and the shifts and distortions in light, gravity, and heat immersed the Elementus Domain. It was chaos, hectic and violent, and every living being felt a surge of trepidation emerge in their thoughts.
Their heads moved about, scanning for the source, yet it seemed to envelop them entirely. For those of a higher cultivation base, were able to pinpoint the epicenter of this chaos. It came from Origin, their capital planet and sole home of the True Element Sect!
Wen Mingna and Si De were together outside of Wei Wuyin's courtyard. When they felt the drastic environmental changes, they turned towards Wei Wuyin's entrance, aghast at discovering the origins.
"What is that?!" Si De cried out. Before she could investigate instinctively, the urge to determine Wei Wuyin's condition, a soft, powerful hand grasped her arm, a Worldly Domain unfurled to envelop her, and Wen Mingna took charge, flying away with all her might. Despite Si De's cultivation base at the Timelord level, she didn't offer any resistance.
When she tried, she was startled to realize that her connections to all her external forces of power had been sealed off. She even tried to unleash her Worldly Domain, but her Astral Soul didn't respond. In fact, it seemed to become inert in controlling any of its power.
Wen Mingna's Worldly Domain was seemingly unaffected, shocking Si De.
"We need to leave!" Wen Mingna exclaimed urgently. She hadn't felt any danger until just now, bringing her great shock and concern. It didn't take her long before she escaped tens of miles away, stopping as her Worldly Domain remained stable and strong.
"What's happening?" Si De asked with a wisp of fear in her voice. She couldn't move any of her strength, and her Astral Soul seemed to have been forced into a dormant state. She had lived for over a thousand years, being a cultivator with power for the vast, vast majority of that time, so this situation brought her incredible distress.
"..." Wen Mingna didn't answer immediately, inspecting her Worldly Domain. She could feel that the Neo-Dawn Domain Seed formed by the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill was overly active. Her eyes brightened. "He must be commencing his Realm World Astral Tribulation."
"What?" A voice sounded out, causing Wen Mingna and Si De to turn their heads, spotting the pair of Lin Xianxei and Lin Ming. They seemed to have rushed over on foot, not flying either. When they saw Wen Mingna's Worldly Domain, their expressions became strange.
"How can you use your Worldly Domain?" Lin Ming asked. He had tried to unleash his Worldly Domain, yet it was impossible. Furthermore, his Astral Soul had essentially entered a dormant state. They had to use their physical strength to rush over. Fortunately, they weren't very far.
Lin Xianxei looked at the epicenter of the changes, her eyes solemn. She had seen many, many Realm World Astral Tribulations before, but this was unlike anything she'd ever felt before. It was extremely intense, absurdly terrifying. It was as if it was amplified by a thousand times…perhaps even more!
Wen Mingna ignored Lin Ming, focusing on Wei Wuyin's courtyard. She knew that the Neo-Dawn Domain Seed contained the tiniest wisps of Wei Wuyin's aura. She was only unaffected because the Realm World Astral Tribulation wasn't trying to suppress him. At least, not directly.
The reason why most high-level cultivators felt the Realm World Astral Tribulation and higher is because it was a deep, unfathomably vicious warning of the heavens. It essentially meant: Do not interfere.
While those beyond the Mortal Dao could still involve themselves, they would suffer some violent backlash.
When Si De and Lin Xianxei learned that Wei Wuyin was almost certainly undergoing his Realm World Astral Tribulation, they felt complex emotions. The former felt intense fear. She had experienced the lethality of the Realm World Astral Tribulation, and it still brought her shivers recalling her own.
The latter was amazed; the aura of this tribulation was far beyond anything she'd ever felt before. She had never sensed a different Realm World Astral Tribulation before. They all had an equal aura, bringing forth equal strength and difficulty for all challengers. Why would the heavens decide to enhance Wei Wuyin's tribulation?
What was he cultivating to experience such a drastic difference?
"..." They could only watch as ripples began to flow outwards like titanic waves, pulsating outwards with thrumming sounds. The Realm World Astral Tribulation was definitely beginning!
Above them, the Ascended beings of the True Element Sect were there. They all gazed intently at Wei Wuyin's courtyard. Lin Xianxian was the most concerned; she was the only one amongst the Ascended beings present that were aware that Wei Wuyin lived there. When she noticed her daughter with three others, including two of Wei Wuyin's companions, complex emotions abounded.
°Absolutely nothing can happen to him…° She had just enjoyed the benefits of association, unwilling to lose any of that. If Wei Wuyin vanished or died, Zhang Ziyi would definitely deal with her without mercy. She couldn't rely on Wu Yu to give her any importance.
When this thought emerged in her head, she realized that while she had his attention, she wasn't under Wei Wuyin's umbrella of protection; his subordinates and backing weren't hers. If she wanted to protect her daughter and herself…
Her eyes released a glow of resolution.
Above them, Zhang Ziyi and Han Yuhei floated even higher. "The Realm World Astral Tribulation is almost as intense as an Earthly Ascension? If it wasn't for our Mystic Souls' Mana Control, I feel like we'd be unable to remain afloat." Zhang Ziyi remarked with shock.
"There's a suppressive will infecting me, warning me. I've never felt this before." Han Yuhei stated as he closed his eyes, inspecting his internal condition. While he was a genuine Ascended being at the Earthly Saint Phase, unable to be restrained by any amped-up Mortal Tribulation, the fact that it was attempting to do so was insanely unexpected.
"Yeah…" Zhang Ziyi felt it too. She had only felt this during Mystic Ascensions. She was prohibited from interfering by the heavens. That said, she wouldn't be stupid enough to do so. There were many records of Soul of Mysticism and Demi-Mortal Lords trying to desperately interfere to save their beloved children or lovers during their Ascension to the Mystic Ascendant Realm but followed along in death.
It was a depressing reality.
This was why things like Mystic Origin Liquid, capable of giving one another shot after failure, were extremely valuable in the cultivation world.
"Why is it so strong?" Zhang Ziyi asked. She had never felt a Realm World Astral Tribulation release such a tremendously powerful aura. It barely lacked in comparison to an Earthly Tribulation. While quality-wise, it was severely lacking. In terms of expansive aura and intensity, if placed in the Mortal Dao, it was roughly the same. Like a gallon of water and a gallon of oil had different weights but contained the same volume.
"We should relocate the population," Han Yuhei suggested, delivering a massive shock to Zhang Ziyi. He could tell that the tribulation was ramping up. It wasn't done. And since they all were keenly aware of what this tribulation entailed, it was best to be on the safe side.
Zhang Ziyi was about to argue the necessity of that. After all, it seemed too extreme of a measure to take without any justification. But then, as if realizing the various possibilities, she thought about it and decided to agree, not arguing as she usually would.
Down below, Wen Mingna felt the Heavenly Daos whisper in her ear, her Astral Soul thrumming in heavenly music. No one but her could hear it, and she looked to the sky. "Prepare yourself, we're leaving." She warned, restraining her Worldly Domain.
Lin Ming frowned. Wen Mingna had outright ignored his question. For some reason, he felt that this woman was familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
Si De was startled but when she felt Wen Mingna's hand in hers. She calmed down, looking up and seemingly recalling the incident of being pulled away from her home, brought to an unfamiliar space. She didn't know why she remembered this. A wave of concern stampeded her heart as she looked with her sightless eyes at Wei Wuyin's building.
"He'll be fine, I promise." Wen Mingna softly said, attempting to soothe Si De's emotions. Si De's hand grip was unbearably tight around Wen Mingna's, reflecting her stressed state. Those words had some effect, and a silver light rained upon them, suffused with spatial power beyond Mortal Limits.
With unfathomable proficiency, and the joint effort of two Earthly Saints, the entire population was being forcefully brought away. Their means and powers were exceptionally godly, taking an extremely short period of time before the whole planet was evacuated, brought into a Worldly Domain, and floating as a mass of beings. It didn't matter what they were doing or who they were, none could resist.
In less than a hundred seconds, the entire planet became clear of all life except for Wei Wuyin and relocated elsewhere.
-----
While the planet was evacuated, Wei Wuyin was in the center of the intensifying aura. The roof of his secluded room was ripped off, the walls collapsed, and the floor was filled with cracks with his feet up to his shins embedded into the stone.
Up above, a torrential cyclone of spatial energies formed, growing larger and larger. The cracks on the floor were entirely the result of Wei Wuyin; his weight was being pressed downwards as gravitational forces became increasingly stronger with the growth of the spatial cyclone.
He had formed a Black Hole as his Astral Souls Central Gravitational Mass, kept within him, yet the gravity that he faced was unimaginably greater than the Gravity Source Astral Tribulation, and it was all focused solely on himself!
"..." Wei Wuyin grimly observed the spatial cyclone grow from ten miles to a hundred miles, and it didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. The astronomical forces of light, heat, gravity, the ambient mana, and fixed-type spatial energies were growing increasingly feral. They were rampant, ravaging the surroundings in complete chaos and reckless abandon.
There were bits of crumbled debris floating and turning to dust, flashes of light, and spots of complete darkness, and the temperature went from blazingly hot to chillingly cold. If it wasn't for Wei Wuyin's body being refined by Absolute Hot and Absolute Ice Energies, he would be experiencing significant discomfort.
"More! More! More!" Ori's voice was filled with uncontrollable laughter. It seemed particularly amused by this event. The four Astral Souls were glowing with distinct brilliance, seemingly joining together as they combined their Astral Tribulations, a feat they had done many, many times before.
However, this definitely seemed to be different.
Unlike the other tribulations, this Realm World Astral Tribulation, otherwise known as the United Worldly Force Tribulation, the name that felt appropriate to Wei Wuyin who was facing it, was absolutely lethal and rumored to be unchanging. Regardless if one was at the Zenith Mortal State or the 4th Mortal State, one centimeter Astral Core or twenty centimeter Astral Core, or Red Primary Light or White Primary Light, the tribulation's strength was always, always consistent.
It was always lethal.
Wei Wuyin knew this was going to be difficult despite his incredible foundation; his Astral Souls wished to push everything to its limits to obtain the best benefits. The fact he was sent across stellar regions and survived inside a black hole was mere previews to this day.
"How does this help me?" Wei Wuyin couldn't help but ask as the spatial cyclone had already grown to three hundred miles. The Sky Layers were churning at this point, and the planet was likely experiencing all sorts of chaos.
