The healed Endless Summer would be able to use the Trial of World Creation’s energy to temper the Enlightenment Law while gathering the spliced Enlightenment Law.
The groundwork was laid for Endless Summer to have a smoother journey.
The Lifeform Sacrificial Fire tree core lit up with green flames that burned the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s tree core.
The plant energy in the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s tree core flowed out copiously, and a green spot appeared in Endless Summer’s tree branch that had almost been split in two.
A sprout grew from the green spot.
Endless Summer’s withered branches seemed to be nurturing the sprout by continuously squeezing what little nutrients they had out of them into the newly grown sprout.
Soon, Endless Summer turned into ashes that scattered all over the ground.
The tiny sprout was growing rapidly.
1 meter, 10 meters, 30 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, 300 meters, stopping only when it reached 500 meters.
Previously, 30 Lin Yuans would be able to wrap their arms around all of Endless Summer’s branches.
But now, not even 100 Lin Yuans would be enough.
The 500-meter tall giant tree was full of fresh foliage, and the leaves ranged from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a palm.
The tree branches spreading out of the tree were the breath of spring that contrasted against the desolate ground.
The leaves were countless, and summer was endless.
Spots of purple appeared amongst the lush green freshness.
The flower buds dotted the bows, and hundreds of small flowers bloomed all over the tree in the blink of an eye.
All the flowers weighed down heavily on the branches.
The fallen flowers rained down on Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath.
When Mystic Moon saw Endless Summer’s verdant state, the silver dragon pearls in his hand spun and drew out a scarlet lightning bolt that shot toward Endless Summer.
Endless Summer hurriedly used its flowers to defend against the scarlet lightning bolt.
The flowers detached themselves from the branches and made contact with the scarlet lightning bolt.
Now that Endless Summer was flourishing again, it could gather the broken Enlightenment Law and defend itself.
When he saw Endless Summer in defensive mode, Mystic Moon hastily said, “Don’t defend yourself. The Trial of World Creation that I’ve separated out won’t hurt you. You should use these bolts of energy to temper the Enlightenment Law. It’s the only way that you’ll be able to repay the Young Lord for coming all this way.”
Endless Summer maneuvered out of the defensive stance and allowed the scarlet lightning bolts to strike itself.
Although this attack from the Trial of World Creation would not harm Endless Summer, it did cause a wave of flowers to fall and bury Lin Yuan underneath.
The Mother of Bloodbath hurriedly plucked Lin Yuan out of the avalanche of flowers.
Lin Yuan awkwardly scratched his head as the Mother of Bloodbath carried him out of the flower pile.
The silver-haired old woman leaped up into the air and looked at Endless Summer with envy.
She did not believe that there was a fey in the world that had an easier time evolving to Creation Breed than Endless Summer.
Mystic Moon was using his overwhelming power to help Endless Summer.
Every time the scarlet lightning bolt struck Endless Summer, a rain of flowers fell.
With each rain of flowers, more flowers bloomed on the tree.
Time flew by as Endless Summer continued to temper the Enlightenment Law. Each time the scarlet lightning bolt struck Endless Summer, it took three minutes for it to absorb the energy.
However, the Trial of World Creation did not wait for them. By the time Endless Summer tempered the Enlightenment Law for the 10th time, the Trial of World Creation’s third attack suddenly struck.
Mystic Moon did not even glance at the third attack as he waved the silver dragon pearls in his hand.
The third attack was like another scarlet millipede that was pulled toward the dragon pearls.
Endless Summer had become accustomed to the crimson lightning bolts. As such, Mystic Moon increased the rate that the crimson lightning bolts were released.
Three minutes became 2.5 minutes, which became 1.5 minutes until it finally shortened to 30 seconds.
Now that Endless Summer could hold out against more lightning bolts, it could sense that its spliced Enlightenment Law was linked.
The linked Enlightenment Law turned into a world full of the power of enlightenment.
Mystic Moon nodded in acknowledgment of Endless Summer’s talent.
As Endless Summer continued to use the power of the Trial of World Creation to temper the Enlightenment Law, Mystic Moon said, “There should be 300 more lightning bolts of the Trial of World Creation. It’s a waste for you to use this power to temper the Enlightenment World. Why don’t you try using this power to temper the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s tree core into your own tree core?”
Endless Summer tried to direct the power of the Trial of World Creation toward the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s tree core.
Previously, Endless Summer had been using the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire to extract the plant energy inside the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s tree core in order to weaken the strength of the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s bloodline. This would make it easier for Endless Summer to consume the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s bloodline.
As a plant-type fey, Endless Summer could sense that the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s bloodline was much stronger than its own. Thus, it would be a struggle for it to consume the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s bloodline.
The power from the Trial of World Creation’s 300 bolts would be its best chance to do so.
Endless Summer was extremely careful. First, it used its own tree core and the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire tree core to envelop the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s tree core.
Next, it used the Lifeform Sacrificial Fire tree core to increase the power of its original tree core so as to counter the power of the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s bloodline.
The bolts of energy from the Trial of World Creation slowly broke down the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s bloodline. Endless Summer absorbed a small amount of the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s bloodline each time.
Endless Summer planned on using the 300 bolts to absorb the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s entire bloodline.
This was a smart decision as the plan was feasible and easy to carry out.
Endless Summer’s body started to grow again.
From 500 meters, it became 600 meters, then 800 meters, until it finally reached 1,000 meters.
At this point, Endless Summer’s growth rate slowed, but it still continued to rise.
Endless Summer’s original branches had been tightly spaced together, and its leaves clustered together.
Even though Endless Summer used to be 500 meters tall, its tree crown had not been very large.
But after consuming the Sky-Covering Weeping Willow’s bloodline, Endless Summer’s branches extended far and wide.
The elongated branches made Endless Summer’s tree crown look three times larger than it was before.
As the leaders of veteran and top factions, all they thought of was how to better expand their families and gain more resources.
A family needed resources to sustain their martial force, operations, and expansion.
Besides the veteran and top faction leaders whose juniors stood a chance of becoming a Radiance Envoy or Radiance Knight, the others merely regarded the news about the Azure Federation’s fourth Azure Envoy as another piece of passing information.
However, the news about the Class 6 dimensional rift made the hearts of the veteran and top faction leaders start to pound wildly.
In Class 5 dimensional rifts, dimensional lifeforms would enter the main world through the rift and start to attack. Spirit qi professionals could enter the dimensional rift after killing the dimensional lifeforms that had exited and search for resources within the dimensional rift as well as source-type lifeforms and sacred source lifeforms in the dimensional hub.
But in Class 6 dimensional rifts, the line between the main world and the dimensional world was blurred.
After the opening of a Class 6 dimensional rift, there would not be as many dimensional lifeforms pouring out as compared to a Class 5 dimensional lifeform.
However, the power of the dimensional lifeforms was not guaranteed.
A Class 6 dimensional rift was connected to the entire dimensional world.
Once a dimensional rift was opened, a dimensional membrane was created within the layers of the rift.
Due to this dimensional layer, the lifeforms inside the dimensional world would not feel the draw of the dimensional rift or be able to see the dimensional rift.
But one careless step into the dimensional rift and the lifeform would be sent to the main world.
The lifeforms inside the dimensional world had varying powers. Some were as strong as Bronze feys, while others were as strong as Creation Breed feys.
There had only been one Class 6 dimensional rift in the history of the Radiance Federation, and it had been connected to the abyssal world.
When that Class 6 dimensional rift had opened, two Class 10 lifeforms which were as powerful as Creation Breed feys, had happened to be fighting.
Luckily, the Class 6 dimensional rift had opened in the remote and desolate Scorching Desert.
The Scorching Desert was about 10,000 kilometers away from the nearest populated city, but the tremors from the fight between the two Class 10 lifeforms had been felt in the city.
The fight had also seriously affected the shape of the Scorching Desert and caused the temperature to rise significantly. The center of the desert had been melted into flowing lava.
It was only when the Spirit Guards and Chief Guard Ye had arrived to help that the Class 10 lifeforms were finally quelled.
Chief Guard Ye had sent out 20 Guard Envoys to seal off the Class 6 dimensional rift while Chief Guard Ye personally ventured into the abyssal world.
She had killed all the lifeforms within a 1,000-kilometer radius of the dimensional rift inside the abyssal world before ordering the 20 Guard Envoys to stand guard inside the dimensional rift to stop the lifeforms from spilling out to the main world.
Risk always went hand in hand with benefits.
Although unpredictable risks accompanied the Class 6 dimensional rift, the benefits that could be reaped far outweighed those risks.
The dimensional world connected to the Class 6 dimensional rift was an enormous treasure trove.
A dimensional world had much more resources than a dimensional rift. If resources could be mined from a dimensional world through a Class 6 dimensional rift, it would allow a faction to fill their pockets rapidly and push them up to another level.
Due to the uniqueness of a Class 6 dimensional rift, their existence was like a second world that was connected to the Radiance Federation.
Factions could be constructed within a Class 6 dimensional rift and expanded into the dimensional world.
The factions in the main world could be connected to the factions in the dimensional rift to transport resources from the dimensional world to the main world.
Naturally, sufficient power was required for this to be sustainable.
Moreover, that Class 6 dimensional rift was an abyss dimensional rift, and abyssal lifeforms were not vegetarian.
Since Class 6 abyss dimensional rifts were connected to the entire dimensional world, if they were also opened in other federations, experts from other federations would also be able to enter the abyssal world through those Class 6 dimensional rifts.
Class 6 dimensional rifts were the chance for all the major federations to compete in the same playing field.
The gears in the minds of the veteran and top faction leaders were all turning quickly.
Did that member of royalty mean to say that the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift in the desert that had been sealed close to a decade ago was about to open?
If so, that would be amazing news.
At that moment, Zuo Ming arrived inside the Midnight Palace and anxiously whispered a few words into Night Leaning Moon’s ear while placing one hand behind her back.
The chime of a clock once again reverberated throughout the Midnight Palace.
Night Leaning Moon stood up and said, “It’s time for the Guard Ye Banquet. Let’s prepare ourselves for it.”
She circulated her spiritual power, and water-like spiritual power flowed into the hades etutitsorp floor of the Midnight Palace. At the same time, the aura of an everlasting lonely night rippled out of Night Leaning Moon’s body.
The leaders and young disciples of the veteran and top factions suddenly felt the floor under them change shape rapidly.
The entire Midnight Palace seemed to be full of mechanisms as it split, spliced, and re-shaped itself.
Soon, the area outside and inside the Midnight Palace were combined together to form a large hall.
The 13 seats of the members of royalty were now placed all around the hall, and each had a few chairs behind them. These new chairs were only slightly shorter than the 13 original chairs. The number of chairs behind each of the 13 seats was different where some had many, while others only had a few, and there were even some of the original seats with no chairs behind them.
It was clear that the number of the new seats was intentional.
A few seats had also appeared in the center of the hall, and they were even shorter than the seats behind the 13 original seats.
Every seat in the center of the hall had an empty space behind it that could fit one or two people.
A large stage covered in complete Law Crystals appeared in the center of the stage.
Balls of high-class strange fire Burning Sun Sacred Fire hung above the stage.
The leaders and young disciples of veteran and top factions were momentarily stunned.
