Chapter 78 - Birth Of A New Race (I)
Today was a bright and beautiful day. The clouds above the Heavenly Demon Sect\'s Domain drifted about, partially obscuring the sun, diffusing the harsh rays of sunlight.
This kind of weather felt extremely delightful. Occasionally, there would be light gusts of gentle wind breezing about, giving people a refreshing feeling.
It\'s already been two days since the news about Ling Chen\'s demonic devouring power which had caused a chaotic storm that engulfed the entire Heaven Desolate Region was made public.
Instead of decreasing, the amount warriors that wanted to acquire Ling Chen\'s devouring ability continued to increase exponentially and they were flying towards the Heavenly Demon Sect\'s Domain like flies, from the strongest Martial Venerable realm to the weakest Martial Warrior Realm.
Although none of them had seen Ling Chen using his devouring power with their own eyes and they held a skeptical attitude about it, they continued to fly in mass towards the Heavenly Demon Sect\'s Domain.
And the presence of many powerful Martial Sovereign and Martial Venerable realm warriors made even more warriors believed in the rumors. Thus, they continued to fly towards the Heavenly Demon Sect\'s Domain like moths drawn to a flame. The entire region became quite lively
While some of the powerful warriors came intending to capture Ling Chen no matter the cost, some of them just came for the fun because they were well aware of their strength. Nonetheless, it wouldn\'t be too bad to get some leftover soup as well.
Currently, Ling Chen had become the most wanted man throughout the whole Heaven Desolate Region. There\'s even a bounty on his head as well as rewards for whoever had news about his whereabouts.
...
Martial God Sect\'s Domain
While the whole Heaven Desolate Region was looking everywhere for Ling Chen, he was currently resting in a small village within the Martial God Sect\'s Domain.
Just like the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Supreme Sword Dao Sect, The Martial God Sect was one of the fifteen great influences within the Heaven Desolate Region.
They had their domain with countless small kingdoms and influences under their administration or rule. Among the fifteen great influences, the Martial God Sect could be rank tenth in terms of power.
After knowing that Fang Lan and Hu\'er were taking away by elder Zhuo, Ling Chen had immediately left the Heavenly Demon Sect\'s Domain and traveled non-stop to the Supreme Sword Dao Sect.
However, on the third day of his trip, he forced to stop in the Martial God Sect\'s Domain which was located between the Heavenly Demon Sect\'s Domain and the Supreme Sword Dao Sect\'s Domain because he found out that the black Lightning fruit of creation that was hung in the dark tree within his sea of consciousness suddenly fell on the ground.
Ling Chen always knew that the black Lightning fruit of creation would be the first one to ripen, however, he didn\'t know that it was going to ripen that fast.
As the dark tree was considered as his nascent soul and the black Lightning fruit of creation was also a fruit bear by the dark tree, Ling Chen had a deep level of connection with it along with the others.
As such, he knew that the black Lightning fruit of creation which was the one closest to ripen still needed a little bit of energy before it could ripen. Yet, for some unknown reason, it suddenly fell from the dark tree as though it was already ripening.
Because of that, Ling Chen was forced to put his trip to the Supreme Sword Dao Sect on stand by to check out the black Lightning fruit of creation within his sea of consciousness.
At this moment, Ling Chen was sitting in a meditative stance inside a dilapidated hut in a remote village within the Martial God Sect\'s Domain.
In the boundless never-ending white space within his sea of consciousness, Ling Chen\'s projection sat in front of the black Lightning fruit of creation that had fallen into the ground.
Currently, the black Lightning fruit of creation looked completely different from the last time Ling Chen saw it.
Not only its size had tripled, but also the small pattern and the black Lightning that used to coil around it were completely gone. At this moment, he looked like a big black smooth egg.
Ling Chen could tell that whatever was inside the black Lightning fruit of creation was ready to come out.
Furthermore, even though he was connected with the black Lightning fruit of creation, he still couldn\'t tell what was inside of it.
\' I wonder what kind of being could be inside the black Lightning fruit of creation?\' Thought Ling Chen as he was looking at the big fruit that looked like an egg in front of him.
At this moment, Ling Chen couldn\'t wait for whatever was inside the black Lightning fruit of creation to come out. He wanted to know what kind of marvelous creature it would become after hatching.
From the first day the black Lightning fruit of creation along with other fruits of creation have appeared on the dark tree within his sea of consciousness, they have swallowed a large amount of life essence and blood from the countless powerful warriors that Ling Chen had killed.
A massive amount of spiritual energy from Heavenly treasures, endless blood, and life essence… that was even enough to hatch over one thousand dragons!
It had to be something peerless and powerful in the universe since it required that much energy just to ripen.
If it wasn\'t for the fact that he had to share his life essence with the six fruits of creation, Ling Chen reckoned that he would have long broken through the legendary Martial Saint Realm already.
While Ling Chen was impatient to see what kinda creature was going to come out of the black Lightning fruit of creation, he didn\'t dare to touch it. That would be too reckless.
He just sat there patiently waiting for it to hatch on its own.
"It\'s already been a day since you fell from the dark tree, what are you waiting for...." Whispered Ling Chen to himself.
However before he could even finish his sentence, he was shocked because the black Lightning fruit of creation suddenly moved on its own.
Cha! Cha!
The next moment, a slight cha-cha sound could be heard as though whatever was inside the black Lightning fruit was trying to come out.
" So, You are ready to come out now." Ling Chen said with a huge smile on his face as well as a look of anticipation.
He has been waiting for this day for so long and now it has finally arrived.
It was time for him to see what kinda being was inside the Black Lightning fruit of creation.
