Chapter 1664 - The Death Spring

Chapter 1664: The Death Spring

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"What is this place?! Wasn't I refining the Nirvana Trees earlier?"

Lin Huang stood naked on a blood-red beach, confusion filling his face as he looked at the golden sea not far away.

He tried to spread his Divine Telekinesis but discovered there was no response at all even though it was peak upper-rank lord-level. It was as if something had completely sealed off his Divine Telekinesis.

It was not just his Divine Telekinesis—even the Divine Power in his body could not be used at all, much less his god rules, god sequence chains, and his Sword seal.

Lin Huang tried to communicate with his Goldfingers like Xiao Hei and the Soul-controlling Tablet within his body, but they displayed no response either.

At this point, Lin Huang was really somewhat panicked.

It was his first time encountering something like this since his transmigration to the gravel world.

It was as if he had completely turned back into an ordinary person.

"What's happening?! Is this an illusion…?"

After taking a moment to calm down, Lin Huang looked around. No matter what had transpired, there had to be some clues in his surroundings. At the very least, he needed to find out where he was.

Not far away on the blood-red beach were massive trees, their branches swaying in the wind.

"Are those… Nirvana Trees?!"

As soon as Lin Huang saw the Nirvana Trees, he vaguely recalled something and immediately turned his head to look at the golden sea.

Only upon looking this time did he realize that it was not a golden sea at all.

It was an enormous river formed by countless particles that were enveloped in golden light. It stretched as far as the eye could see and seemed to have no end. From afar, it looked like a massive sea.

A small number of golden particles were stirred by the surging waves and the strong winds. They drifted toward the Nirvana Trees, and were caught by the trees' branches, turning into nutrients…

Lin Huang had a vague sense that the aura coming from the golden particles was familiar. Only upon a closer look did he discover that the particles were tiny fragments of Origin Energy…

Unlike the Origin Energy spheres in the virtual realm that were still whole, the golden particles here seemed to be crushed fragments of Origin Energy.

Lin Huang harbored a faint suspicion that the reason these Origin Energies were in particle form was most probably from continuously colliding with each other as they swirled along in this powerful current.

"Nirvana Trees… a massive golden river…" Lin Huang stared at the "sea" and muttered quietly, "Is this the death spring?!"

The minute he uttered the words "death spring", the entire world suddenly began quaking.

Countless massive waves seemed to roil and churn in the death spring.

A feeling of helplessness arose in Lin Huang's heart—the sort felt by mankind in the face of nature's power. At the same time, his consciousness blacked out suddenly, and his naked figure gradually faded.

The next second after Lin Huang's figure faded, a golden eye formed in the air above the golden river, staring at the direction where Lin Huang had disappeared.

An ancient divine tone resonated above the death spring.

If one could understand what it said, it would translate to, "What a strange little brat, descending upon my Kingdom in the form of a true spirit. (curious)"

After the divine tone faded, the golden eye looked at the stretch of Nirvana Trees not far away. A few ancient syllables could be heard after it stared at the forest.

This translated to, "Interesting. (happy emotion)"

As soon as the syllables were heard, endless golden waves emitted golden points of light, as if a golden mist had covered the entire forest…

Obviously, Lin Huang did not know what had happened after he left. When he regained consciousness, he realized he had returned to the virtual realm cabin.

"Did that happen because I'm refining the Nirvana Trees? I actually saw the legendary death spring…" In truth, Lin Huang still could not really understand exactly what had happened.

"The death spring's persona is certainly above lord-level. My power was actually sealed in the face of an entity like that; I couldn't even contact my Goldfingers…" Lin Huang still felt a trace of fear when he thought about it.

He sank his consciousness within his body again and very quickly sensed the existence of his Goldfingers.

Divine Power, Divine Telekinesis, Dao seal, god sequence chains, God Rule Powers… all of them were back.

"Xiao Hei, did all of you sense an anomaly earlier?" Lin Huang could not help asking.

Lin Huang was rather surprised at Xiao Hei's response.

"Didn't the rest of you sense it either?" Lin Huang asked the other Goldfingers—the Soul-controlling Tablet, Yin Yin, and the rest.

"We didn't sense anything unusual," the Soul-controlling Tablet and Yin Yin replied, their tones filled with confusion.

The rest of the Goldfingers' simple responses were the same.

"Didn't all of you sense that we were disconnected for a while earlier? Or that you were temporarily sealed off by some force?" Lin Huang pursued.

"Not at all," Xiao Hei responded without hesitation.

"Haven't you been sitting here this whole time refining those Nirvana Trees?" Yin Yin asked Lin Huang.

"In any case, nothing unusual happened at all in my sensory perception," the Soul-controlling Tablet said with absolute certainty.

The rest of the Goldfingers gave the same answer as well.

"So the Goldfingers didn't sense any anomalies when that entity sealed the Goldfingers in my body?!" Lin Huang frowned slightly. The Goldfingers' answers caused him to feel that the death spring was even more terrifying now.

He did not think that he had encountered an illusion earlier. If it were truly an illusion, the Goldfingers would instantly sense an anomaly in his God's soul fluctuations.

Therefore, the only logical explanation was that the death spring used some specific method to block his Goldfingers' senses.

Lin Huang did not dare dwell any further on a matter like this, which kept getting more frightening the more he thought about it.

After calming himself down a little, he set these distracting thoughts aside and checked the refinement state of the Nirvana Trees within him.

The minute he checked, he was immediately somewhat startled.

The Nirvana Trees in his inner world seemed to have been galvanized by some force and had unexpectedly broken through to lord-level. Not only that, their auras were still increasing significantly.

As he watched the Nirvana Trees growing into giant trees comparable in size to stars, their branches swaying like massive living beings gliding in the galaxy, Lin Huang was so stunned his mouth was left hanging open for a long time.

He only came back to his senses after a long while and discovered that the two hundred over Nirvana Trees only slowed down their combat strength elevation speed finally once they had reached upper-rank lord-level. Only when they had achieved peak upper-rank lord-level did they completely halt their combat strength elevation.

Impressively enough, the Nirvana Trees' God's soul strength had now reached the same level as Lin Huang's God's soul.

Lin Huang connected his God's soul to the Nirvana Trees, and a massive volume of information surged into his head like waves… The feeling was exactly the same as when he was refining the Origin Energy from the virtual realm and had obtained its inheritances.

He closed his eyes, rapidly digesting and sorting all of it out.

The volume of information was truly enormous, at least several hundred times more in total than the information he had obtained previously when refining the Apocalypse Dragon Python's memory. However, it was also very disorganized and jumbled up.

It was as if there were countless memory fragments belonging to different people. However, each fragment had a different length. Some were short, some were long, but all of them were complete segments of memory.

It took Lin Huang fully half a day before he finally managed to sort out all the memories.

Unlike the inherited memories he had previously obtained from the virtual realm that had no memory images of the material realm, the memories Lin Huang obtained this time had a massive number of images from the material realm.

He saw countless scenes from various great worlds, as well as the beauty of untold galaxies. Of these memory fragments, the weakest was only true god-level, while the most powerful was peak ultimate-rank lord-level.

He even saw numerous tragic scenes of some ultimate-rank Lords' attempts to break through to the next level…

When his consciousness returned to his body, he silently recorded these inheritances down in detail, whether they were strong or weak.. He felt that these legacies needed to be inherited by a successor.
