Chapter 346 Five-Colored Light Orb
Chapter 346 Five-Colored Light Orb
But he quickly understood what the voice meant by choice. He saw that the endless stone tablets below began to emit orbs of light of different colors that floated around him.
Like fireflies in the night sky, he was instantly surrounded by a dazzling array of colorful orbs of light, a truly magnificent sight.
The orbs of light around him varied in size and shape; some shone brightly, while others were dim and lifeless. He had a vague feeling that he only had one chance to choose, but he didn't know what was inside the orbs of light.
"Is it all down to luck?" He had a feeling that this choice would affect the course of his future.
"I hate people who speak in riddles. Can't they just say what they mean?" But looking at the endless array of colorful orbs around him, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
"When you feel lost about the future, using the Spirit Eye might have a miraculous effect!" Suddenly, the words of the Spirit Crane resounded in his heart like a ray of inspiration.
Upon realizing this, Shen Xu felt a sudden jolt, and his previous hesitation vanished instantly.
With a slight thought, the dormant pupil runes within his body seemed to be awakened, slowly releasing a golden-red light.
The light initially appeared as scattered specks, like faint stars twinkling in the night sky, but as time passed, it gradually brightened, spreading outwards little by little, seemingly enveloping his entire spirit in this golden-red hue.
Just as the golden-red light was about to completely cover the eye runes, a cloud-white light suddenly emerged from within the runes.
Immediately following, as if in a chain reaction, sky blue, azure, and jet black light appeared one after another in the eye rune.
In an instant, the colorful lights intertwined and merged, making the entire eye rune look like a magnificent and beautiful painting.
"This is... the five colors of the Five-Colored Spirit Crane!" Shen Xu was overwhelmed with shock.
As the eye runes continued to flash with multicolored light, the numerous, densely packed clusters of light in front of Shen Xu vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Instead, only three exceptionally dazzling orbs of light remained, silently hovering in front of him.
The first ray of light shone with dazzling five-colored light. Its five colors were different from those of the Five-Colored Spirit Crane, but its brilliance was so great that it almost dyed the entire spirit body with its colors, and even the five-colored runes in its body were suppressed.
At first glance, the ball of light in the middle seemed to have no color, but after Shen Xu examined it closely, he found that it seemed to contain all the colors of the world. The wonderful visual experience was indescribable.
As for the last ball of light, strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a complete ball of light, because it is actually composed of countless fine, almost imperceptible threads that shimmer with various colors of light.
These threads intertwine and swirl together, forming this radiant ball of light.
"Why do I still have to choose?" Looking at the three orbs of light in front of him, Shen Xu felt that his pain had not lessened at all, because he felt that these three orbs of light were all unusual.
"Since it was the Five-Colored Spirit Crane that helped me choose it, and it just so happens that one of the three light orbs is also five-colored, this must be fate!"
Thinking of this, Shen Xu no longer hesitated, and the gray mist of his spirit touched the mysterious ball of light that emitted five-colored light.
The moment he touched the five-colored light, the other two light orbs vanished before his eyes, while the previously still five-colored light orb seemed to have found its home, completely enveloping him along the front of his spirit body.
Before he could even react, his spirit body suddenly seemed to lose its support and plummeted at an alarming speed, finally crashing heavily into the dazzling white light emanating from the scales below.
In an instant, Shen Xu felt as if his mind was being wildly stirred by a powerful and violent force.
Countless mysterious, profound, and indescribable Dao runes continuously gushed out from the void in his soul, repeatedly washing over it without ever stopping.
Gradually, his consciousness became increasingly blurred under the wave after wave of these runes, and the cyan veins that originally sustained his spiritual body gradually dimmed and lost their luster under this continuous erosion.
Finally, when his soul reached its limit, there was a loud "boom," as if divine thunder from the heavens had suddenly cleaved through the clouds and struck down hard on his fragile soul.
Shen Xu's soul mist collapsed in an instant, as if it had been torn apart by an irresistible force, instantly disintegrating and falling into pieces.
Those shattered fragments of souls, like withered leaves in the wind, drifted and flew rapidly in all directions, but were always confined within the five-colored light.
As his soul shattered, the void hidden in the center of his soul's gray mist was instantly exposed, and a mysterious and profound black seed, as if it had been dormant for a long time, slowly drifted out from it.
The moment the black seed appeared, the gray mist river that had been surging towards the white scales like a tidal wave suddenly changed direction and began to converge on the black seed in an almost frenzied manner.
The black seed seemed like a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring the endless gray mist.
Enveloped in this endless gray mist, the black seed began to gradually absorb the surrounding five-colored light.
As time went by, the five-colored light grew dimmer and dimmer, like a candle flickering in the wind that might be extinguished at any moment.
Just then, a slight cracking sound was heard in the completely silent gray fog space, and a crack gradually appeared on the outer shell of the black seed.
Although the sound was faint, it caused the surrounding gray mist to ripple like invisible waves, constantly stirring the entire space.
In an instant, a dazzling emerald light burst forth from the crevice, emanating boundless vitality, like the first ray of dawn at daybreak, instantly suppressing all the surrounding light.
As the emerald light spread to Shen Xu's scattered soul fragments, his soul seemed to be summoned by an invisible force, and began to slowly gather around the black seed involuntarily.
Strands of blue veins, like silk threads, quietly appeared in the cracks of his soul, quickly intertwining and reconnecting the shattered fragments of his soul.
As Shen Xu's soul was gradually repaired, the five-colored light, carrying the black seed, returned to the void in the core of his soul, while Shen Xu's spirit gradually disappeared into the gray mist space.
After Shen Xu left, the enormous illusory scales seemed to tilt slightly towards the black side.
A sigh, imbued with the vicissitudes of countless years, seemed to echo through the gray mist space, spanning billions of years.
