Chapter 1590: Limitless Tree Resonance

The Transcendent Heavenly Throne emitted a holy light, and an ink-colored tree stood tall within it. Its grandeur was indescribable, as though it connected the heavens and the earth. The top of the tree spanned tens of thousands of miles and a Golden Winged Peng lived above it. Vast amounts of space source origin energy flowed around it like a silver river, shuttling through the branches unobstructed, connecting everything.

Everyone was taken aback by this majestic sight. Even Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's eyes widened in surprise.

"Is that Mother's third resonance?" Jiang Qing'e asked in shock. The Path of Ascension was the most unique way for one to cultivate, and the birth of one's third resonance was not fixed to a specific cultivation level. Sometimes it would appear when one properly became a Transcendent Duke, other times it was when one reached the eighth or even the ninth-grade! Tantai Lan had never revealed her third resonance before, so even her children had assumed it was because it had not been born yet. However, by the looks of it, that wasn't the case.

"What sort of resonance is that?" Li Luo asked curiously.

Jiang Qing'e revealed a look of ponderance before she answered, "That is an Ink Tree that is capable of reaching the heavens. It seems to be the Limitless Tree that was written about in ancient records. It's a type of strange plant that existed in ancient times. It possesses sentience and it's rumored that it had a towering reputation as well. Once it matures, its canopy will envelope everything within tens of thousands of miles, forming a limitless prison capable of containing any manifestation of nature, also known as the Myriad Manifestations Limitless Prison. Anything falls into it, whether it's a Dragon or a Great Peng, is unable to escape."

"Limitless Tree resonance..." Li Luo mumbled to himself. All of his mother's resonances were rare and incredible, so why hadn't he inherited a single one?

As the two sighed in the distance, a set of golden Archaic Runes appeared between Tantai Lan's eyebrows, resembling a Golden Winged Peng with its wings outstretched. This was her middle ninth-grade Golden Winged Peng resonance. After which, a silverish mark appeared in the middle of the runes and then it split apart, emanating dense amounts of space source origin energy and revealing her Apex Resonance Crystal Core.

Upper ninth-grade space resonance!

Though this was not the end. Everyone saw the Apex Resonance Crystal Core, which was overflowing with silver light, suddenly reveal a dark, inky tinge. In the end, an ink-colored Crystal Core formed above the Space Apex Resonance Crystal Core. One could make out billions of inky runes within the new Crystal Core, and an ebony tree that held up the sky, its canopy all-enveloping, capable of containing anything and everything.

Upper ninth-grade Limitless Tree resonance!

Looking at the two Apex Resonance Crystal Cores with different types of source origin energy, Li Tianji, Qin Zhongyuan, and the other Kings were left in a daze. Only when one entered the Triple Crowned King Stage would their resonances evolve to the upper ninth-grade. Thus, this was a luxurious achievement that they had to obtain. That said, they could sense that the Limitless Tree resonance's source origin energy was a little weaker than her upper ninth-grade space resonance. This meant that it had probably evolved a little later.

Tantai Lan's voice rang out. "Everyone, all of you need to channel your source origin energy and assist me in building a prison that can suppress the Beast Fetus!"

Li Tianji, Qin Zhongyuan, Li Qingying, and Qin Zhiming all assented immediately and their Crowns began to emit a blinding light. Vast amounts of source origin energy swept out like a tsunami, surging towards the Limitless Tree above the Transcendent Heavenly Throne.

The Limitless Tree's endless canopy quickly absorbed all of the source origin energy. Countless branches sprouted as a result, each one emanating the aura of a different type of source origin energy. Some contained frightening thunder whereas others resembled raging waves of a sea. The sight was fantastical, as if the tree contained the aura of everything in the universe. With the full support of the four Kings, the boundless Limitless Tree grew innumerable branches. At the same time, billions of roots emerged like roaring dragons, containing the power to shake the heavens as they penetrated through the void and entangled all of the Beast Fetus' heads and tails. The Beast Fetus was enraged, its eyes filled with a lust for slaughter and frenzy. Its bluish-green aura, which was akin to a deadly plague, transformed into a nigh infinite cloud of insects that began to gnaw and devour the roots and branches that attempted to contain it.

The Limitless Tree then released a majestic wave of vitality. Despite not containing any sort of killing power, it was capable of reducing the insects into streams of black gas that dissipated harmlessly. Both sides continued to confront and whittle away at each other.

The aftershocks of the struggle caused the void to shatter continuously.

Upon seeing this, Li Tianji, Qin Zhongyuan, and the rest smiled in joy. This meant that the Beast Fetus was actually being contained!

Thus, they pushed their Crowns further, causing even more pure energy to surge out, absorbing greater amounts of source origin energy which was then directed towards the Limitless Tree.

Meanwhile, Tantai Lan bit the tip of her thumb, squeezing out three droplets of blood essence, one gold, one silver, and one black. With her thumb as a brush, she used the smeared blood essence to outline an ancient rune in the air with the Kings' source origin energy as a support. It was the character "suppress"! She then deeply breathed out, her gaze focused on the Beast Fetus, which was being restrained by the Limitless Tree. The reason why she had not revealed her third resonance all this time was because it was being nurtured.

She had obtained a secret art that was suitable for the Limitless Tree resonance within the Nobles' Battlefield; it required one to seal away that resonant palace and nourish it with a unique energy. This would allow it to evolve, but she could not utilize the resonance during the process, which was why it had never appeared. However, the Limitless Tree resonance had finally evolved to the upper ninth-grade and thus, the seal was removed.

"The Beast Fetus has been absorbing all of the negative emotions that were manifested as a result of the Other Disaster for the last few years. Its strength has greatly improved, but it's not comparable to the Human Fetus. With the four Kings supporting the Myriad Manifestations Limitless Prison, we should be able to suppress it. However, this will take a day's time to complete."

Tantai Lan then tapped her thumb lightly, and the character "suppress" shot through the void, landing on the Limitless Tree's trunk, which resembled a gigantic mountain.

Bang!

A moment later, the entire world seemed to rumble.

The colossal Limitless Tree began to expand at a ridiculous pace. Its canopy spread to cover all of the rifts connecting the World's End River Region and the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. The branches containing different sorts of source origin energy and the roots began to tightly surround the Beast Fetus, forming a terrifying prison around it. Any existence within it would be suppressed to the limit and dragged into its depths.

"Roar!"

The Beast Fetus bellowed bestially, attempting to resist. However, it was being forced into the core of the Myriad Manifestations Limitless Prison with unimaginable force, layer by layer. In the end, the Beast Fetus wasn't even able to struggle and each of its heads and tails were starting to dissipate over time.

When all of the heads and tails vanished, the Beast Fetus would also naturally disperse.

"Phew."

Tantai Lan then heavily heaved a sigh of relief. Her face was pale from the exertion. That said, everything should be resolved now, so she then turned towards Li Tianji and Qin Zhongyuan. "We've merely imprisoned the Beast Fetus. It will take some time before its truly dealt with. During this time, I will need two Kings to accompany me in the process and join hands to slowly destroy the heads and tails."

Li Tianji and Qin Zhongyuan glanced at each other and nodded. "Then let the two of us join you."

They knew how destructive the Beast Fetus could be and that Tantai Lan had put in a lot of effort to capture it. They naturally could not slack off now either.

She nodded and then pointed with her thumb. Atop the Limitless Tree, the black leaves unfurled and three cushions made of inky leaves were fashioned. The trio then sat down.

After which, each of them formed a clone that returned to the larger group.

At this point, the Other Disaster that had raged for countless years, causing the deaths of innumerable innocents, had finally come to an end.
