Chapter 772: Chapter 606: Unified Strength_2
Although the power of the rock instantly repaired Long Yi’s lost fingers, so much so that he could hardly feel any pain, the abrupt explosion still gave him quite a fright.
"That’s it... when you, who have the power of the Black Rock, come into contact with us, who possess the power of the White Rock, the two powers collide and cause an explosion."
Old Stone Fist explained.
Long ago, the Black Rock Tribe and the White Rock Tribe were not aware of each other’s existence until they were discovered by travelers. The members of these two tribes were mirror images of each other, in terms of both appearance and temperament. People were born and died simultaneously between these two tribes, which was utterly magical.
In the beginning, the Black Rock Tribe tried to establish contact with the White Rock Tribe. However, the lethal explosions quickly halted these efforts. Both tribes understood that they absolutely could not touch each other - even standing together would cause discomfort. Therefore, they now try as much as possible to avoid each other’s presence and never mention each other.
Because of this, the appearance of Long Yi made the people of the White Rock Tribe extremely surprised.
"Actually, I’m not a member of the Black Rock Tribe," Long Yi said. "But I have acquired the power of the Sacred Rock. This might be why I don’t feel uncomfortable. I was captured by slave traders and beaten until I lost my memory. I have forgotten many things. Now I am traveling around, trying to regain my lost memories. For this, I want to make use of the Sacred Rock of your tribe... just to have a look."
Long Yi emphasized that he just wanted a look.
Old Stone Fist was quite generous. As a long-lost semi-brother race visitor, everyone was delighted. But could Long Yi truly touch the Sacred Rock?
Indeed, tragedy struck!
The white Sacred Rock was there and even before Long Yi could touch it, it was drawn towards him due to a strange force. Long Yi, cautious, extended a finger towards it and an explosion promptly blew off his hand.
It was a disaster!
Not being able to touch the Sacred Rock meant he couldn’t decipher the magic! He couldn’t gather the final power! What now?
Long Yi was dumbfounded.
Afterward, he stayed in the White Rock Tribe and his smooth journey unexpectedly halted here. But Long Yi was still glad he cleverly bypassed the White Rock Tribe. Had he visited them initially, he probably wouldn’t have made any progress by now.
He lived alone in a stone house. The White Rock Sacred Rock was kept here, but he dared not approach it. The energy of the White Rock and Black Rock colliding would cause a complete annihilation, triggering an explosion. Long Yi had tried many times, and had experienced this explosion every time. He attempted to seek help from the Giant tablet, but it too was helpless regarding this unique energy form.
Left with no other choice, Long Yi temporarily abandoned absorbing the energy of the White Rock, and instead turned to study the other energies.
Upon careful thought, Long Yi believed that this event should not be isolated.
Black Rock and White Rock signify annihilation, these are opposing energies.
What about Fire Rock and Ice Rock? One represents heat and the other cold, they too are opposing energies.
What about Wood Rock and Iron Rock? It seems there wasn’t a clear opposition between the two; using the burning wood to forge iron and then using the iron to cut down the wood, does that count? It seemed a bit forced and contrived.
Long Yi decided to start with the seemingly most harmonious Wood Rock energy.
He activated the magic in his body. The verdant energy of the Wood Rock slowly entered his body. Long Yi immediately felt a significant boost in his vitality and his healing ability even started to multiply! However, almost simultaneously, the dormant Black Rock power in his body uncontrollably began to circulate, immediately staining the Wood Rock power black. In an instant, the Wood Rock energy withered and disappeared.
No good? There was also a restrained relationship?
So Long Yi chose the Iron Rock power instead.
This time, the silvery Power of Iron Rock flowed into his body. Long Yi could feel that the strength of his bones and muscles had significantly increased, as if they were made of steel, leaving faint silvery metallic traces under his skin. At the same time, The Power of the Black Rock began to circulate immediately, merging with the Power of Iron Rock. Nothing happened this time, but the silvery Power of Iron Rock turned black, forming Black Iron. Meanwhile, Long Yi noticed that his skin darkened slightly, and his enhanced physique from the Power of Iron Rock appeared even more robust.
It seems feasible this way.
Next is the Power of the Fire Rock! To temper steel with fire!
Long Yi wasn’t sure if this made any sense, he simply chose something that seemed to make sense.
With the activation of the Power of Fire Rock, Long Yi immediately felt an intense heat throughout his body, firelight emerging beneath his skin, even spouting flames from his mouth. His explosive power greatly increased! When the Power of Fire Rock entered his body, it immediately merged with Black Iron Power. In the blink of an eye, the Black Iron was completely heated to a glowing red, turning into molten iron!
There are two more powers within my body.
Ice Rock, Wood Rock.
So, what’s next, quenching with water? Well, there doesn’t seem to be a connection with wood and molten metal, right? A tree can’t really grow in molten iron, can it?
Long Yi absorbed the Ice Rock Power directly. This time, the Ice Rock Power greatly boosted Long Yi’s endurance, giving him a longer-lasting power supply in battle even if he lost the support of Earth Power.
When Ice Rock Power combined with molten iron, steam rose and condensed into clouds, while the molten iron which had already melted immediately solidified into a clump. No cold, no burning heat, extremely gentle, surrounded by a cloud of mist.
Injecting Wood Rock.
Long Yi once again felt an increase in vitality, a boost in his recovering ability. But this time, the solidified molten iron didn’t interfere with the Power of Wood Rock. Instead, it slowly integrated itself with the solidified molten iron! Gradually, a tender sapling sprouted in the clump of iron!
Long Yi’s eyes widened in astonishment, so this is how it works!
At this moment, Long Yi slowly approached the Sacred Rock of White Rock Tribe. The night had gradually fallen, and in the darkness, the Sacred Rock emitted a hazy glow. Long Yi had seen this glow for several days, but it was only now that he truly understood its meaning.
"Grow, my little sapling."
Primed to replicate the white rock magic, Long Yi held the Sacred Rock of the White Rock Tribe in his hands, infusing it with the Power of the White Rock.
Suddenly, a beam of light illuminated the entire energy space, and the tiny sapling grew at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it had become a towering tree! The tree trunk was pitch black, but the leaves were silvery metal, and the tree bore some fruits, half of them fiery red and the other half icy blue.
Is this the essence of all Sacred Rock Powers? For this one tree only?
The six distinct powers circulated endlessly within Long Yi’s body, and he now had a peculiar feeling. He hovered in the air. And the Power of Rock did not leave his body! At this point, Long Yi didn’t need to rely on the earth anymore because his body now possessed this tremendous and infinite power.
Almost at the same time, whispers echoed in Long Yi’s ears, as if someone was calling to him from a distant underground!
"Finally, you’re here!"
Long Yi smiled.
With the first Female Demon joining Long Yi, all six Female Demons who had been waiting for Long Yi on the ground had now gathered.
"Come on, sisters, it’s time for us to leave. Let’s go save Little Zi!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
