Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 296: Essence and Rune Integration

The aura surrounding Liang was now as formidable as that of a divine-level master; one might easily mistake him for such if not careful.

Just when it seemed everything had reached completion, seven runes emerged, one after another, orbiting around Liang silently.

Each rune now emitted a primordial and unique aura, as if it had existed since the dawn of time.

Liang’s face then turned serious, shadows deepening around his eyes. With a graceful wave of his hand, seven radiant balls of light emerged, each pulsing with vibrant energy.

Yes, seven—seven essences in total, glowing like miniature suns.

As Liang surveyed the seven ethereal essences hovering before him, he couldn’t help but feel a deep-seated sense of accomplishment coursing through his veins. Each essence shimmered with an otherworldly and seemingly primordial glow.

His eyes lingered on the three newest additions:

Absolute Derivation Essence

Absolute Spirit Essence

Pseudo Chaos Essence

The first among them was the Absolute Derivation Essence, born from his mastery of the Seventh Rune, known as the Thousand Derivation Rune. It held within it the boundless possibilities of multifarious origins and outcomes..

Next, there was the Absolute Spirit Essence, a product of the Sixth Rune - Spirit Genesis Rune. This essence radiated a serene, yet powerful energy, like the calming embrace of a gentle breeze that could, with a mere thought, become a formidable storm.

Lastly, the Pseudo Chaos Essence—a dark, enigmatic swirl of shadow and light—was not fully formed yet. This nascent essence was Liang’s current understanding of the elusive Chaos Law. While his grasp of chaos remained nascent, its raw, untamed energy hinted at an untapped reservoir of formidable power.

Even now, Liang knew his comprehension of the chaos law was still in its infancy, a mere graze upon the surface of its profound depths. Yet, despite this, a deep sense of satisfaction settled within him like a weighty but comforting cloak.

The two newly acquired runes, Spirit Genesis and Thousand Derivation, filled him with particular satisfaction. They were more than just additions to his arsenal.

The Spirit Genesis Rune granted him an inexhaustible reservoir of spiritual energy, along with an array of formidable abilities that seemed almost limitless.

But the Thousand Derivation Rune—ah, this was Liang’s pride and joy.

This rune encapsulated an intricate web of deductions and divinations, precisely what Liang urgently needed at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, the satisfaction on his face melted away, replaced by a solemn expression.

He reached into his space ring and extracted the Crystal Throne, seating himself upon it before closing his eyes. In an instant, the cave around Liang transformed dramatically.

The once barren stone walls of the cave turned into lustrous crystal. Countless dots of light began to congregate around Liang, their ethereal glow casting an almost holy aura over the space. His expression flickered through a range of emotions before settling into a serene calmness.

Suddenly, Liang clasped his hands together, initiating a miraculous transformation.

Each rune began to silently merge with its corresponding essence, one by one. If any other divine expert had witnessed this spectacle, they would have been utterly stupefied.

What Liang was doing defied conventional methods: instead of fusing the runes into one unified rune before merging each essence, Liang was intricately fusing each essence directly with its respective rune.

This complex process ultimately led to the crafting of a divine spark with every essence and rune fusion—a feat that was not only highly unusual but also incredibly advanced.

The method Liang is using is not his own creation; it originates from the Primordial Runic Ancestor.

When Liang formed the seventh rune, this technique instinctively appeared in his mind.

It’s a secret technique known as the Essence and Rune Integration Method.

According to the technique’s description, it can elevate practitioners directly to the peak of the Divine Level in a single bound.

That’s right, it’s like ascending to the heavens with a single step.

However, the technique is not easy to practice, nor is it meant for just anyone.

It has numerous strict requirements and limitations.

To utilize this technique, the practitioner must have seven runes and seven essences in total, with each essence derived from a corresponding rune.

Furthermore, each of the seven runes must be imbued with a completely different law.

This means that individuals with essences or runes similar in nature would be unable to practice this method.

There is also a crucial requirement: the practitioner needs to use a treasure with a grade no less than the Sacred Grade to accomplish the final integration.

Another significant limitation is that the newly acquired singular rune’s nature would be inclined more towards the base law of the treasure used to guide the process.

Thinking about this, Liang couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation in his heart, as though this technique was tailor-made for him.

After a certain time had passed, the fusion process between the runes and the essence proceeded smoothly.

Seeing this, Liang allowed himself a small smile. Although the outcome was predictable, since the essence had essentially been derived from the runes, it still added a layer of accomplishment in Liang’s heart.

Now came the most critical step.

Liang carefully extracted the Universe Mirror from his satchel.

Fixing his gaze on the mirror for a moment, he then gently tossed it into the air, positioning it at the center of the seven runes.

Almost instantly, a spirit array materialized with the mirror at its core.

Ethereal threads of light gradually began to extend from the seven runes, converging on the mirror’s surface.

The mirror suddenly started to radiate a peculiar, radiant light, and a terrifying aura emanated from it, sending an involuntary shiver down Liang’s spine.

Nonetheless, he tried to remain composed.

At that moment, the runes transformed into seven streaks of light, converging at a single point above the mirror.

This intricate process continued for an entire week.

On the seventh day, the mirror’s surface abruptly dimmed as it began to descend.

Liang waved his hand, his movements fluid and precise, as he effortlessly retrieved the mirror from thin air.

His gaze turned skeptical as he scrutinized the now-empty space where the mirror had hovered moments before. The once-familiar chaos rune, a constant companion on his runic journey, had vanished as well.

Such is the nature of runic cultivation—an ever-evolving path. Though it appeared as if the seven runes had disappeared, their essences had merely converged, transforming into a higher form: the Divine Rune.

The Divine Rune represents the first step in proving the origin. It possesses the singularity of one rune but holds the potential to birth the original seven runes again. This means that even with a single rune, the cultivator can summon any of the seven primary runes, employing more intricate and potent arrays and formations.

Taking a deep breath, Liang waved his hand once more. Instantly, the Divine Rune responded, flickering into existence on his forehead.

Liang closed his eyes, bracing himself for the crucial process ahead.

At the core of his consciousness, a solitary rune pulsated with a primordial energy.

Although it appeared ethereal, Liang could sense its unrivaled power.

This power was unlike any other he had encountered; even the chaos rune seemed inadequate by comparison.

Universe Rune.

Just knowing its name filled Liang with a surge of excitement.

The formation of this rune was far from simple. Each of Liang’s seven runes, while seemingly formed with ease, represented fundamental aspects of the universe. This was precisely why he was concerned about the final two runes. He couldn’t afford mistakes at this critical juncture.

The idea for the Universe Rune came from the Boundless Universe Art, that Liang had acquired from the Infernal Void Emperor.

Though Liang had not yet cultivated this art, he often revisited it in his mind, pondering its intricacies.

The universe, though complex, could be distilled into simpler components.

Void and Space.

Time and Expansion.

Darkness and Heat.

Life and Destruction.

And ultimately, Chaos.

These were merely the elements Liang could currently comprehend, the mere tip of an unfathomably larger iceberg. His limited understanding only skimmed the surface of the universe’s complex tapestry, woven with threads far more intricate than he could presently grasp.

The Absolute Frost Rune captured the essence of time and expansion. Ice, in its mightiest form, held the power to freeze time itself, preserving moments and entities for eternity. It signified stasis and the preservation of all that exists.

The Nether Flame Rune embodied the searing heat and relentless fire of the universe, mirroring the incandescent power of the stars. It was a symbol of nirvana and rebirth, evoking the cyclical nature of life and the blazing cores of celestial bodies that give life and death to the cosmos.

The Abyssal Armament Rune represents the universe’s relentless growth and advancement, reflecting the evolution of all living beings.

The Voidforge Rune, on the other hand, represented space and the forces of destruction. It illustrated the empty expanses of the cosmos, It was the crucible of creation and annihilation, where anything and everything could be forged and undone.
