Chapter 1069: Tripart.i.te Fusion
Time ticked as the three ent.i.ties inched closer and closer to each other as if they were being pulled towards the Black Vortex.
However, that was not quite the case.
Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness was trying to wrestle the Darkness Transcendent Crystal from the soul core—only for the soul core"s position to be unshakeable.
As a result, the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness was pulled towards the soul core along with the Black Vortex, which acted as the bridge between them instead.
But even though the soul core was firm in its place, Leon could still feel the strain coming from his Darkness Transcendental Crystal wanting to be ripped out of his soul core.
The harder he tried to fight the attraction of the three ent.i.ties, the bigger the strain and the greater the pain inflicted on his soul.
And if he fought too hard to prevent the attraction, his soul core might just collapse from the Darkness Transcendental Crystal getting ripped out along with the dark power being drawn from it.
"I can"t stop this change from happening!" Leon inwardly roared with desperation.
His special soul core, Black Vortex s.p.a.ce, and the 1500-feet tall Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness were all unique existences that had rarely or never appeared in history before.
As such, no amount of knowledge would have prepared him to antic.i.p.ate such a situation would happen.
There was no guide for trailblazers; they were the guides for others.
The path he walked had not been tread before.
"Since I can"t fight it, I will embrace it!" Leon"s eyes suddenly flashed with ruthlessness.
In that instance, he stopped resisting the attraction between the soul core, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and the Black Vortex.
Whether he resisted or not didn"t change the rate of attraction; it only inflicted pain on his soul instead.
The Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness inched closer to the soul core at an ever-increasing rate, but the distance between the two and the Black Vortex also shortened relatively.
Ultimately, it was the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and Leon"s soul core being drawn together, except his soul core does not and cannot move. The soul core had always been situated in the center of his sea of consciousness, and that fact would never change.
It was the Black Vortex he needed to worry about; it was the bridge that was bringing the two together and was also the source of the danger.
Leon halted his side tasks and used all 400% of his divine consciousness to grasp the chance at life.
The clash between his soul core, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and Black Vortex was inevitable. His only choice was to harmonize the three so they don"t conflict and destroy each other.
Otherwise, the only outcome was the death of his soul.
As the soul core, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and Black Vortex inched ever closer, Leon"s mind raced for a solution—and there, he found it, a solution.
"If I can pull this off, I can"t imagine how much stronger I will become," Leon"s eyes brightened at once after grasping the chance at life.
Nevertheless, that chance at life was just an idea.
After quickly planning the steps to pull it off and carefully reviewing the overall process to make sure the theory was plausible, Leon didn"t hesitate to commence the plan.
After all, time was ticking.
The powerful Black Vortex was capable of breaking many things down into their most basic and purest forms.
However, that is only the case when they contacted the Black Vortex and were devoured by it. There was a small s.p.a.ce within the eye of the Black Vortex that was completely safe from the Black Vortex.
The 1500-feet tall Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness would have been too big to fit in the eye of the Black Vortex. But luckily, it was contained within its own private s.p.a.ce, which was enough to fit in the eye of the Black Vortex.
The problem was moving both the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and the soul core into the eye of the Black Vortex.
Considering the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness couldn"t be moved after it sprouted from the dark energy core, and the soul core couldn"t be moved, to begin with, this would have indeed posed a major problem—if he didn"t have a solution around it, that is.
Two ent.i.ties continued drawing closer to each other as if they were being roped in—and if left be, their trajectories were headed straight for the walls of the Black Vortex on either side.
However, Leon utilized his Peak Preliminary Accession-stage Transcendent-level Spatial Law and twisted s.p.a.ce to alter the trajectory path of the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and Black Vortex headed for the soul core.
The Black Vortex was the first to reach Leon"s soul core.
But thanks to the warped path he created, the Black Vortex arrived from the bottom of the soul core and rose toward it. The soul core slipped straight through the opening eye of the Black Vortex without movement.
Afterward, the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness followed its own warped path and descended down the eye of the Black Vortex from above and mounted right on top of Leon"s soul core.
As if he had calculated it, his soul core, without moving, entered the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness"s private s.p.a.ce and occupied the position of the absent dark energy core.
In that instance, the roots of the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness wrapped around the soul core.
However, Leon"s soul core wasn"t harmed by the contact. Instead, the connection empowered him like a power cell that had just been placed into its power slot.
It felt like the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness had become a part of his body; he gained access to all of its powers without needing to rely on his Divine Will.
At the same time, it provided a layer of protection for his soul.
All three ent.i.ties of soul core, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and Black Vortex had been aligned in the center of his sea of consciousness without an issue.
It was nothing short of a miracle.
