Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 56 - The Insane Growth Of The Black Lightning Fruit.



After closing his eyes, Ling Chen moved his body around a little bit making sure he sat comfortably. He then inhaled and exhaled deeply.

For the first minute, he sat there quietly with his eyes closed without making any moment before he eventually reached a state of zen shortly after.

Like always, Ling Chen used his inner eye and dove within the dark space of his lower-dantian like a fish in the ocean.

No matter how many times he found himself within this endless vacuum of space with no light which was his lower-dantian, Ling Chen was still unable to hide his shock and his amazement.

This void of darkness which was supposed to be his lower-dantian was like having a constant reminder that he was different from everybody else.

He was like a constant reminder that he wasn\'t a regular human if humans at all.

At this moment, within this vast expanse of darkness, Ling Chen\'s gazed was fixated on the huge tree trunk that was filled with countless of dark roots that spread throughout the void like octopus tentacles or snakes.

Just like before, these tree roots were still moving and intertwined like poisonous snakes that hid in the darkness. They were still moving as though each of them was alive.

The only thing different this time was the fact that the number of dark tree roots has multiplied a lot for the past three months. Not only that, but they have also become longer and thicker as well.

Aside from that, Ling Chen could clearly tell how many of them were out there without the need to count them one by one.

There was a grand total of 995 dark tree roots within his lower-dantian and the longest one was at least 800 feet long while the shortest one a hundred feet.

Furthermore, these dark tree roots seemed to be giving off a more powerful ominous and evil energy than before.

Over the past three months, after killing and absorbing the life force and blood of countless people, Ling Chen had also gained more control over the dark energy within his lower dantian.

Not only that, but the amount of time also needed to absorb and control the tree roots in his surroundings greatly reduced as well. Before, it used to take him at least a day or two to completely control the tree roots in his surroundings, but now, it only took him a few hours.

Though it didn\'t look much, it was still better than before. Furthermore, as he\'s getting stronger, the amount of time will continue to reduce as well.

However, the thing that Ling Chen wanted to control the most within his lower-dantian was the space within.

Though his lower-dantian was like a never-ending void, it contained his own spatial law which was vastly different from the real world.

Ling Chen tried to control it and bring it in the outside like the dark energy within his lower-dantian many times, but he ultimately failed. No matter how many times he tried, he was still unable to build a bridge between the space within this lower-dantian and the outside world.

If he was able to accomplish that, he didn\'t even need to try in controlling the surrounding tree roots, he could simply open a portal to his lower dantian and bring out the dark roots directly to the outside world and sucked his enemies dry.

Not only that, but he couldn\'t also blend the dark energy with the spatial energy within his lower-dantian and creating a true domain.

One of the reasons that Martial Saint was revered as a god within the Great Luo world was that they were able to control space.

Unlike Martial Sovereign or Martial Venerable, a Martial Saint was able to blend his elemental domain with spatial law, creating their own little world. They called it True Domain and within that domain, they were like a god.

After checking out his lower dantian, Ling Chen moved on up to his upper dantian. At this moment, the dark oak tree stood erected within his upper dantian which was an endless white space like an ancient evil godly tree.

It had become taller and bigger since then, almost twice its previous size. It had reached a height of thirty-five feet and its tree trunk had a circumference of twelve feet now.

Just like the dark oak tree had become taller and bigger, the remaining six fruits have greatly changed as well.

After absorbing the blood and life force of hundreds of people, weak to strong, the six fruits of creation have become as big as a watermelon. Especially the black Lightning fruit, it had the biggest changes of them all. It was now twice the size of the others.

Furthermore, Ling Chen could even feel a faint life force emitting from each one of them. This type of life force fluctuation seemed to bring with it a faint reliance and familiarity.

At the same time, this type of life force fluctuation was even stronger when it comes to the black lightning fruit. It was strong to point where Ling Chen could even hear a faint heartbeat coming from within. And that heartbeat got stronger by the day.

It was as though whatever or whoever was inside could break out at any given moment.

It was one of the reasons that Ling Chen had been staying in Blue Cloud City. Even without thoroughly checking his upper dantian, he was still aware of the changes in the black lightning fruits.

Ever since he had absorbed the 7th rank demon beast core of the huge black fox which contained some of the lightning energy from the Heavenly Tribulation, the black lightning fruit\'s speed of growth had skyrocketed.

Its growth has greatly surpassed that of the other fruits and it seemed to absorb more energy than the others as well.

Over the last three months, it had sucked Ling Chen dry. No matter how much blood and life force Ling Chen had absorbed, the black lighting fruit took more than half of them.

It was the reason why even after three months of slaughter, Ling Chen was only at the Martial Venerable realm Early Stage.

Looking at the black lightning fruit, Ling Chen had an anticipation look on his face.

\' I wonder what kind of being could be in this black lighting fruit and when will it hatch or ripen...\' he thought.

After spending some time imagining what sort of creature was inside the black lightning fruit and the others, Ling Chen carefully inspected them again before he suddenly opened his eyes.
