Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 161

In the void, the sea of lightning raged violently.

The power of the thunder was truly terrifying. Even though Su Mu had mastered the Heavenly Thunder Dao Technique, his control over thunder was still far inferior to that of the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx.

Shortly after, the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx’s body was engulfed in lightning. In the blink of an eye, the lightning transformed into a gigantic Thunder Lynx, towering over a thousand feet tall.

“Roar!”

It let out a deafening roar, and the mere sound created a storm of thunder, shaking the entire Flood Dragon’s Domain violently. If this colossal Thunder Lynx were to rush into the Flood Dragon’s Domain, it would undoubtedly spell disaster and destruction.

At that moment, a silver branch of the ginkgo tree sliced through the air like a flood dragon.

Boundless Fulfillment!

Su Mu had activated Boundless Fulfillment. The ginkgo branch expanded to an enormous size, reaching a hundred feet in diameter. It appeared like the hand of the heavens.

“What?” the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx was shocked.

If just a single branch was a hundred feet thick, how terrifying must the ginkgo tree’s main body be?

The misty commanders of the Misty Forbidden Zone were also filled with intense confusion. They had seen the ginkgo tree’s true form before. While the Divine Tree’s body was indeed massive, it did not seem so exaggerated. What was going on? Could it be that this was the Divine Tree’s true form, and what they usually saw was just its contracted appearance?

The terrifying ginkgo branch struck the gigantic Thunder Lynx forcefully. With just one hit, the enormous Thunder Lynx was sent flying thousands of feet. Without pausing, the fearsome ginkgo branch continued to strike, whip after whip.

The giant Thunder Lynx was utterly crushed.

Su Mu secretly marveled at the immense power of Boundless Fulfillment and Indestructible Golden Body. The branch’s terrifying strength was mainly thanks to these two abilities. Otherwise, with his current level of cultivation at the peak of the fifth tier, it would have been impossible to suppress a sixth-tier being.

Facing such suppression, the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx was furious beyond measure. However, no matter how angry it was, it could not change the situation.

“Hehehe,” Rahu scratched his head, feeling extremely satisfied. When the Divine Tree had used this method to whip him in the past, he had felt humiliated. Now, seeing the Divine Tree doing the same to the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx, he felt utterly relieved and joyful.

Simultaneously, a sense of warmth and belonging filled his heart. It was a feeling that said, “I have a protector now.” Rahu, from this day on, also had a backer. The Divine Tree was his backer.

He had encountered strong enemies before, and each time he had to flee for his life, only surviving due to his Indestructible Golden Body. But now, things were different. When the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx came to bully him, the Divine Tree immediately retaliated in kind.

Boom!

After dozens of strikes, the gigantic Thunder Lynx could no longer withstand the blows and collapsed, shattering into pieces.

“Urgh!” the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx spat out blood violently, clearly suffering a backlash and severe injuries.

“Mist Lord, today I admit defeat. But once I’ve improved my cultivation, I’ll come back and settle this score!” the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx declared hatefully.

For a being of its caliber, to utter such a threat was already a significant loss of face. However, it now truly feared the Mist Lord. It knew it was no match for the opponent.

In response, three more massive ginkgo branches swept through the air.

Su Mu unleashed his full strength, simultaneously wielding four branches at once. Each branch was a hundred feet thick, forming a cage that trapped the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx.

“You intend to imprison me?” The Grand Lord Thunder Lynx’s eyes gleamed with malice. “Mist Lord, do not push me too far!”

“What if I do?” a calm voice echoed from within the mist.

“If you push me, we will both perish,” the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx roared madly.

“Show me how you intend to destroy us both,” Su Mu replied, unmoved.

“Fine!”

The Grand Lord Thunder Lynx howled toward the sky.

Boom!

A crack appeared in the sky. From within the rift, thunder rumbled and formed a vortex, making the crack look like a terrifying vertical eye.

“Void Thunder Eye,” the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx trembled all over, painfully forcing out these four words through gritted teeth. This showed how challenging it was for it to use this technique.

Buzz!

An unimaginable oppressive force of thunder descended from the heavens.

Under this terrifying pressure, even Su Mu’s four ginkgo branches began to tremble. Su Mu sighed internally. Indeed, a sixth-tier being was hard to deal with.

However…

From the depths of the Misty Forbidden Zone, a divine star emerged. The Primordial Spirit sat atop the divine star.

Buzz!

It opened its eyes and looked toward the Kunlun Plateau.

“Void Thunder? Is this the power of Void Refinement?” Su Mu had finally awaited this moment. He was only a step away from breaking into the sixth tier.

He hadn’t rushed to ascend because he wanted to understand what the Void Refinement power truly was.

Now, with the Grand Lord Thunder Lynx’s ultimate technique, he understood.

Reaching the Void Refinement stage meant having the soul anchored in the void and the body merging with heaven and earth. From then on, the void would be one with the self.

Thus, upon entering this realm, one’s lifespan would increase significantly, often reaching over thirty thousand years.

But how does one anchor their soul in the void? And where is this void to be anchored?

The void to be anchored was the rules of the universe.

Rules were the outer manifestations of the Dao. Upon reaching the Void Refinement stage, a cultivator could touch upon these outer manifestations of the Dao.

Then, anchoring one’s soul in the void meant understanding and mastering these rules to make them one’s own.

So, what rules did Su Mu need to comprehend?

If it were before reaching the peak of the fifth tier, Su Mu might have been somewhat confused about this. Now, however, his mind was clear.

Reincarnation Fragments, Sun and Moon Heaven and Earth, and various other abilities…

All these pointed out what path Su Mu should take and what rules he should master.

The rule he needed to master was the Heart Power!

Only an infinite heart could contain all things and accommodate all these abilities.

The mind should have no outside attachments; things exist because the mind perceives them.

Mind is the principle!

One day, when his realm is sufficient, it will be Heart is Dao!

To make the heart the foundation, the universe’s origin.

The heart is the source of everything.

This was the Heart Origin Rule.

Buzz!

Su Mu’s Divine Star began to change internally. An intense transformation created a spiritual world within. The Primordial Spirit gently moved its consciousness and arrived at the center of this spiritual world, sitting cross-legged like Pangu in the center of the universe.

Su Mu’s data panel also underwent a change. A new ability appeared: “Heart Origin World.”

This ability was not obtained through duplication but through Su Mu’s own comprehension.

At that very moment!

Boom!

Su Mu’s level finally broke through. The bottleneck of the peak fifth tier shattered.
