Chapter 673: Heart of the Continent
“And now the only way for you to get out is to master my Gravity Domain,” Feng Wu said from a lotus position on the ground.
“Your Gravity Domain” Ye Mo shouted in surprise. He deeply understood how powerful the Gravity Domain could be. When a person used it, the powder could crush a Transcendence Ninth Realm expert. If this person could even add the Gravity Domain to an attack, not only could it enhance the attack, but also weaken their enemy’s strength.
“Yep, I started to get an insight into this domain by chance when I advanced to the Profound World Realm,” Feng Wu said. “At that time, I connected to the Power of the Earth and formed this domain. Guess what, I even did it without the Will breakthrough. Now, I’m going to show you the early stage of my domain.”
Feng Wu waved one of his hands. Instantly, Ye Mo saw a gray sphere grow around Feng Wu. Within the sphere, runes with profound meanings appeared. The gray beams were like shooting stars flying around and crisscrossing.
“What is that?” Ye Mo was amazed. He sensed that the sphere was filled with rejection power, and Feng Wu was the center of that power.
“It’s the early stage of the Gravity Domain, but, as a rudimentary stage, it can’t be exploited on its own. You need a high-grade Celestial Weapon.”
As Feng Wu was speaking, he pulled out a gray pebble about the size of an eyeball. The pebble looked perfectly ordinary. n.o.body would ever notice it on the street.
“That’s the Heart of the Continent?” Ling’er was in total shock and she said, “It’s said that all the continents are spreading sporadically, and only with the presence of the Heart of Continents, can they be a.s.sembled together. Without it, the continent will collapse for good and become dust floating in the universe. For him to have a Heart of the Continent, some continent must have already fallen.”
It was such a rare treasure! Even Ling’er had only heard the story of it.
It’s true that the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons had a higher level than the Heart of the Continent. But, in terms of power and effectiveness, the seven weapons were nothing like the Heart.
“Is that the Heart of the Continent?” Ye Mo said, surprised.
“You know of it?” Feng Wu asked. “But this isn’t the Heart. It’s just a shred of the Heart. The Great War ten thousand of years ago blew up the continents and shattered the Heart into pieces. This piece I’m holding is only one of many. Luckily, I came across it in the Zone of Desolation.”
“Even the Heart of the Continent has been shattered? How devastating was the Great War?”
Ye Mo could not help imagining it and then shouted, “You’re saying the Heart of our continent is still incomplete?”
“Correct.” Feng Wu nodded. “It’s because it’s incomplete that the movements of the moon and sun in the Five Zones are so different. And my Heart of the Continent is the one in the direction of the Zone of Desolation.”
The information Feng Wu told him was even beyond Ling’er’s reach. With a much longer life span, it was natural that he knew more about the world.
“Let me give the Heart to you as a gift,” Feng Wu continued. “Hopefully, you’ll be able to gain enough power to fix the Heart one day.”
Feng Wu threw the Heart to Ye Mo. Ye Mo caught the Heart, feeling such a responsibility lying heavily on his shoulders. A tiny pebble like this could weigh thousands.
“Now, I’m going to generate an early stage Gravity Domain around you. Feel it! Try to get the insight of it. When you can get rid of the gravity, that’s when you master the Gravity Domain. If you want to escape here, bear one word in mind: Endure.”
Feng Wu bent his fingers and created a gray sphere enclosing Ye Mo.
Bzzzzzzz!
Inside of the gray sphere, the gray beams were like lightening, s.h.i.+ning and sparkling.
An extremely strong power appeared.
“Ahhhhh”
Ye Mo felt the forces pressing on him from all directions. He had to crouch down like a silkworm against such a sharp pain. Slowly, he started to float in the center of the gray orb.
Crak! Crak!
Ye Mo’s skin burst open, and then even the layer made of dragon blood started to crack.
Ye Mo could sense that all the rejection power in the Gravity Domain was squeezing him ruthlessly, almost compressing his body into a meatball.
“Ye Mo, without the Heart of the Continent, this is the strongest force of the Gravity Domain I can pull off,” Feng Wu said. “Enjoy!”
He closed his eyes and ignored Ye Mo. But in his spirit, he looked after Ye Mo every single second.
“Didn’t you just tell me to get a taste of it?” Ye Mo yelled and swore. “Now I’m suffering.”
His body twitched violently in pain; even with his Caged Dragon Power, there was no way for him to resist the overwhelming rejection power pressing from all directions.
“Brother Ye Mo, hang in there!” Ling’er said. “I know cultivating the Gravity Domain is a grueling process, but if you master it, you could gain the power to fight against Profound World Realm experts.”
“Got it.” Ye Mo ground his teeth, trying so hard to tolerate the fierce pain. And then he made himself concentrate on the forces pouring at him. He knew that to break the sphere down, he needed to escape from the domain.
But he realized that the forces from different directions were all pressing with the same strength. They lifted him in the air stably.
Crak!
Ye Mo’s body was shattered. A tremendous force pressed down on him and destroyed his skin and flesh, exposing his bones.
“The forces from different directions are all the same, so I can float in the air,” Ye Mo thought. “What if I break the balance? Maybe I can leave the domain by doing it?
“But how can I break the balance? Where do the forces come from?”
Ye Mo thought about it for a long time and entered an egoless state of meditation.
Ye Mo was trapped in the domain for three days and nights. His body was wounded severely by the gravity power. After such a long time of torture, all he could feel was numbness.
“The Society Head Lord generated this domain,” Ye Mo thought to himself. “But what’s his source of power in the first place?”
Ye Mo thought it over and over silently. A moment later, he remembered Feng Wu generating the Gravity Domain in early-stage for the first time. If he remembered correctly, runes of profound meanings had shown up.
“Zhu Immortal Imprint, breakthrough!” Ye Mo launched the Zhu Immortal Imprint, and the runes began to be decrypted.
“Using the heart power to reverse heaven and earth; the rejection power is the gravity power, and the gravity power is the rejection power; using the heart power to generate power, the power of the Gravity Domain!”
Ye Mo finally got the insight into the domain. The forces from different directions weren’t coming from anywhere. There was no force at all. If his body weren’t in the sphere, all the forces would disappear, because all of them would act on one point and be neutralized.
The rejection power pressing on his body and holding him captive didn’t confine his body but his heart. That was why he suffered the ma.s.sive pressure on his body from all directions.
