Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

Unimaginable potent essence converged in the small garden in the Blue Plains Realm, all of it going towards the man currently cultivating the Doctrine of Death for the first time!

Similar to the Law of Life, the process for the Law of Death had begun with a budding of a seed that soon erupted into a sapling. This sapling was extremely dark in color as it seemed to absorb every other color around it, a stark contrast being created with the vibrant green tree of life that was growing above it.

The two trees were currently growing while facing different directions, where if one were to draw a line at the very center of the Origin, they would see a vibrant green hue permeate the origin above the line and a dark cold hue to permeate below!

As the sapling of the Tree of Death began to bud with more and more branches and leaves, thick roots erupted out as they spread serenely through the colorful Manifested Black Hole and began to intertwine with the roots of the Tree of Life.

This reaction should have been something opposable, but it happened as smoothly as it could as for the two Ultimate Laws of Life and Death, the two were one and the same! Two sides of the same coin!

But it created for a truly beautiful scene as even Anna who had seen Alexander shine with a vibrant green in the Imperial Library before could not help but watch with an agape expression.

The Imperial Adjudicator who had lived for many years and seen many things was also moved, his own Tree of Death within his Origin ringing in a reaction as it sensed another Death Law Master being born nearby!

The one with an esteemed identity, Anastasia, also looked on with shining eyes as she saw more things than the two beside her saw. She had seen many beings embark on Ultimate and Supreme Laws in the past, and none of them had caused a reaction such as this when they first began.

When she looked at the man in front of her, it seemed like the atmospheric universal essence was fighting to get into his origin to power up the cost of using Doctrine of Death, as if this essence was not a problem for him and would even acquiesce to his wishes!

She did not know how this result was brought about, but her eyes only gained more and more surprise as the time passed.

5 minutes passed as the phenomenon of converging essence and the illusory scene of a Tree of Death coldly growing ever larger below a Tree of Life continued, the roots of the two trees wrapping around each other so tightly that they created a mysterious groove at their point of contact.

25 minutes passed, and Anastasia was convinced of this being's genius as she could see he had attained Small Success in this Ultimate Law in just half an hour since he began cultivating it, a result that would take even the Scions from her birthplace months to achieve!

Yet the phenomenon in front of them did not stop as the Tree of Death grew ever larger, its lifeless grey leaves shining splendorously as its branches shook angrily, seemingly not reconciled at the fact that the tree of life it was bound to was so much larger than it.

This caused for even more essence to converge towards it as it grew ever larger!

40 minutes!

60 minutes!

…!

Alarm rose in the eyes of Anastasia and the other 2 beings as they saw this process still continue, and their hearts only settled after they felt the essence begin to recede the moment the one hour mark was met.

The essence of universal laws began to die down around them as they could see two illusory Trees floating stably amidst the genius's colorful Black Hole.

Anastasia sighed with surprise as her thoughts were proven true, committing it in her heart to see if genius would be able to traverse the even harder path that she walked on. She was about to speak her thoughts when her eyes caught the expression of Alexander scrunch up as he felt the waning universal essence, seemingly annoyed by this fact as his body soon shone with a verdant green light.

{The Doctrine of Life}!

RUMBLE

The technique for cultivating the Law of Life was cultivated simultaneously as {The Doctrine of Death}, the appearing green light stimulating the waning universal essence to re-energize as the black essence from the Law of Death also elevated to another level!

RIIING!

A resonance seemed to occur between the two Universal Laws being cultivated at the same time as universal law essence descended down once more with stellar colors, this time even more vibrant than when the genus had begun cultivating before.

The three watching in the garden only watched with agape expressions as they did not even know where to begin.

He'd passed whatever test was laid out in front of him, you know? He didn't have to show off so much!

Yet the minutes passed as they could only watch in wonder, imprinting this memory into their brains for as long as they lived.

2 more hours passed.

Noah had taken his time as he felt the growth of the Tree of Death, this tree synchronizing with the Tree of Life as he brought the Law of Death to 12% from cultivating it in just a few hours, the Law of Life rising becoming to a full 30% at the same time!

It was only then that he stopped simultaneously activating the Doctrines of Life and Death as he opened his eyes, essence waning around him as even the skies seemed to breathe in relief at the phenomenon's ending.

His eyes opened to lock on with the sharp eyes of Anastasia that was looking at him with focus, her voice ringing out right after.

"Your talent should be at the level of the Core Scions of Ancient Organizations if not completely surpassing them. Good! We are low on time, so we shall get started right away. You two, pay attention as well and see if your talent can pick anything up."

WAA!

An aura of unique strength erupted from Anastasia as she rose in the air, her face becoming cold and devoid of emotions as she seemed like an untouchable Entity!

Her face was staring down towards Noah, her daughter, and the Imperial Adjudicator with eyes of authority, her voice ringing out all around them as it dripped of majesty.

"In the vast Universe, there are many routes of power as beings continue to search for the unknown. The most natural route is to study Universal Laws, with others relying on unique cultivation methods or even Blessing passed down from their home Galaxies in the form of Traits."

"All of these things can only support one of their path of strength, but there exists 'concepts' above things such as Traits or Laws that grant immense power to their wielder, a power that sets them apart from all others!"

RUMBLE!

Her words contained a unique charm as Noah listened with shining eyes, her cold expression continuing with no pause!

"Above the laws, there exists Daos!"

"I come from the Expansive Dragon Cluster, an Ancient Power that relies on Archaic Animus Pets to control large regions of the Dark Universe, and we study...the Dao of Summoning!"

…!!!

Daos!

Wide-ranging and extremely elusive, ranging from the Dao of Summoning to the Dao of Blood to the Dao of Destruction and many more...

The next area of study...was the Dao!
