Chapter 2 - Great despair
This spirit stood tall and invincible as it played the role of rapidly repairing every form of damage that was inflicted upon the others.
The Supreme Spirit of Life which looked like a gigantic tree with glowing ancient runes all over its body, had countless branches that could seemingly wrap around everything in the universe multiple times, and constantly radiated a type of majestic power that could boundlessly infuse the mountains, seas, oceans and even the constellations of stars with life and endless vitality, was the one constantly releasing streams of dazzling Life Origin Energy which completely enveloped the large illusory forms of the other eleven spirits.
These enormous streams of Life Origin Energy caused the other spirits to quickly heal from the countless wounds that they sustained from the attacks sent out at them by the experts from the Azural race. While the Supreme Life Spirit itself immediately recovered from the shocking damages dealt upon it by the world-crushing attacks that incessantly struck it.
"Fellow experts, concentrate your attacks more on that damned spirit of life!" A black-robed expert who was surrounded by multiple haloes of a prismatic light, and suddenly became greatly infuriated by what he was seeing from thousands of kilometers away, suddenly screamed out in both wrath and frustration at his other colleagues using a powerful mind transmission method.
The instant the other experts received the message from the black-robed expert; a message filled with both indignation and exasperation, they suddenly focused many of their attacks more on the Supreme Life Spirit that constantly proved itself to be the bane of their powerful attacks which could rip apart multiple layers of different realities and endlessly punch massive irrecoverable holes in the fabric of space and time.
Shimmering Palm Splitting a Thousand Oceans!
Seven Haloes Divine Dragon Thundering Claw!
Hundred Heavenly Ways Great Reprisal Sword!
Nine-Hued Deity Palm Ravaging the Countless Skies!...
Once god-ranked Battle Skills were utilized by each of the experts, different types of powerful attacks in the forms of shining illusory palms, spears, swords, claws and so on that shone with the brilliancy of the largest stars and possessed the power to turn innumerable worlds into nothing in the blink of an eye, abruptly manifested and shot out in the direction of the Supreme Life Spirit.
But, other innate spirits won't just stand by and watch the Supreme Spirit of Life become gravely injured or annihilated by the numerous terrifying attacks coming its way at unbelievable speeds.
Although the Supreme Life Spirit had an unimaginable recovery speed as it could regenerate into its gigantic tree form from only a microscopic particle in just a few seconds, they couldn't take that chance.
So, the strongest of them all, which was the Supreme Spirit of Destruction that appeared as an enormous cluster of massive blue-black clouds that had countless brilliant bolts of deep crimson lightning shoot out from every area of its body, and had pole-sized arcs of dark purple electricity pulsate unceasingly about its gigantic illusory form, suddenly glowed in a blinding blue-black radiance that dyed a really large stretch of the endless void.
Immediately this brilliance erupted from the enormous cluster of clouds that was the body of the Supreme Spirit of Destruction, tens of thousands of ancient symbols that shone with intensity that was a thousandfold that of any star, suddenly appeared around the body of the Supreme Destruction Spirit and began to emit visible ripples of a nigh-immeasurable, world-splintering power.
And the moment these symbols appeared, numerous stars hundreds to thousands of kilometers away, rapidly shattered into billions of sparks that lit up that area of the void in a rather beautiful manner. While thousands of massive floating rocks that were many times larger than small worlds, abruptly turned into huge piles of dust that scattered about in that particular region of the void.
Immediately the arcane symbols bearing tyrannical power and individually radiated unlimited mights surfaced, a continent-sized dark-black beam possessing fathomless power of pure destruction, suddenly emerged from the cluster of clouds and shot out at a great speed towards the attacks sent out at the Supreme Spirit of Life by the Azural experts.
The instant the attacks released by the experts collided with the dark-black beam unleashed by the Supreme Spirit of Destruction, a wave of power that possessed great destructive capability since it could disintegrate many large worlds in an instant, suddenly emerged from the point of collision and moved in all directions at an unimaginable speed, turning absolutely everything in its paths to nothing.
If one were to give a scale of power to the degree of destruction caused by the wave that had surfaced, one could easily compare it to the devastating energy storm that will erupt from several hundred planet-sized bombs stacked together and detonating all at once.
Thus, the destruction power possessed by the wave was greatly alarming that the god-like experts themselves quickly backed several million kilometers away, or if they were caught in that terrifying, violent energy storm, it could spell absolute doom for them.
Then moment they appeared in a new location that was millions of kilometers away from where the cataclysmic storm of raging annihilating energies manifested, and where crossing such a shocking distance of even quadrillions of kilometers will only take an instant for experts at their level, they quickly erected powerful defensive shields in front of their bodies to protect themselves from the unfathomably destructive wave that was moving towards them.
But a second later, they were viciously struck by the wave that caught up to them very quickly and impacted them with an immeasurable amount of destructive force that could cause countless spatial dimensions to collapse into nothing.
If it weren't that they had powerful divinely bodies, they could have exploded into uncountable bloody splinters!
As for the Supreme Innate Spirits, they were each reduced into a mess and were sent flying away like broken kites caught in a raging gale for hundreds of thousands of kilometers through the void. Only after being shoved away for more than five hundred thousand kilometers did their furiously shooting bodies come to a full halt.
However, they didn't go unscathed as thousands of wide and deep cracks could be seen all over their huge illusory bodies, causing them to be racked with intense agonizing pains.
But these pains only lasted for a few seconds when streams of a vibrant green-colored energy known as the Life Origin Energy, suddenly appeared and permeated their bodies, causing the terrible wounds that riddled their entire mountainous bodies to quickly vanish without a trace.
Besides, they became full of vitality again, however at the expense of the Supreme Spirit of Life that had started looking really dim due to the excessive expenditure and usage of its cosmic healing power and vitality infusion ability.
As for the Supreme Spirit of Destruction that unleashed that beam bearing universal-scale devastation power, the dazzling dark-blue glow coming from its huge body of clusters of cloud had grown really faint, with the dark purple electricity that previously arced about it cloud-like body coming to a stop. Furthermore, the bolts of deep crimson lightning that previously shot out from its illusory cloud-shaped body had completely ceased, signifying that the Supreme Spirit of Destruction had greatly weakened.
The Azural experts who floated many million kilometers away, quickly popped divine healing pills into their mouths to rapidly heal from their wounds and go face the Supreme Innate Spirits once again before they could think of fleeing from them.
It was with great heavenly fortune that they had found all the Supreme Innate Spirits gathered in one place, so they couldn't let such great luck slip between their fingers into the abyss.
Therefore, they must surely obtain these spirits and force them to merge with their bodies where they will quickly attain full comprehension of a certain Great Primordial Law that a particular innate spirit was born from, and then become a thousandfold or even a millionfold more powerful than their peers.
Or, they could simply make them become supporting-spirits for their blood weapons and artifacts; a strategic move that will definitely cause such weapons or artifacts to evolve and climb up in power to a whole new phenomenal level; a level where they can effortlessly exercise astronomically great power over hundreds of thousands of other peak experts at their False Divinity or Pseudo-God level.
Then in a flash, they appeared ten thousand kilometers before the Supreme Innate Spirits who looked on at them with great despair and fury.
