Chapter 624: Mysterious Stone Golem (1/2)

Back inside the unburied section of the Desolate Crow Clan, Duna silently and subtly hopped off from Leon's back before circling around to his front.

Looking at Leon standing on the spot with his eyes closed, Duna could not help but give him a look of wonder and interest.

”How strange…”

Slowly, her eyes shifted to the nape of his neck with a hint of bloodthirst before she frowned and peeled her gaze away, no longer concerning herself with Leon's matter.

”He will be fine on his own since there isn't anyone around to bother him. I, on the other hand, need to finish recovering,” Duna muttered softly.

Her hands have been restored, but the gaping hole in her chest was rather unsightly to look at. She did not want to continue looking like this.

After finding herself a spot on the ground away from Leon, Duna entered seated meditation with her eyes closed and refined the remaining True Grandmist Energy in her body.

…

Meanwhile, Leon continued musing on the Great Way of Earth, unaware of the Transcendent Phenomenon forming in the skies outside.

His divine sense slowly spread out before sinking into the earth and subconsciously fusing with it.

In that instance, Leon's divine sense expanded infinitely, easily covering the entire Desolate Crow Clan's territory, allowing Leon to sense the countless lifeforms moving on the surface, as well as those living deeply underneath.

However, the new experience gave Leon a different feeling to divine sense.

While the range was great, it also came with many limitations.

He could sense the movements of all beings in the depths of the earth, but only their forms. He could not make out their image clearly as he would with divine sense like he was looking at them with his own eyes.

As for the beings on the surface, it was even more limited. He could not even tell their forms, only feel their movements.

'What kind of ability is this? It's like my consciousness had entered a whole different world...' Leon wondered.

He was astounded by the discovery, even feeling a little overwhelmed. The numerous life he could sense within his range was like countless ants gnawing on his consciousness.

'Although this detection ability is not as detailed as divine sense, just its range alone has far exceeded the level granted to Divine Practitioners at the Divine Origin Realm...' Leon ruminated.

Even at his peak, it was impossible for his divine sense to stretch this far.

'The divine sense of Divine Practitioners at the Divine King Ream might not necessarily be better than this either...'

Leon had a feeling that if he fused his divine sense with the earth and increased his connection further, the range of his detection could also increase even further.

'I can increase my detection further, but I fear the load will overburden my consciousness and collapse my mind...' Leon contemplated the risks.

'This ability isn't something a Transcendent should have... Heck, Celestials shouldn't be this impressive either.'

As Leon pondered the reason behind the situation he was experiencing, his mind suddenly lit up like a light bulb.

'No. Ordinary Celestials might be incapable, but a Celestial Ruler is a different story entirely...'

It was said that Celestials could fuse with Celestials Bodies to achieve absolute power within their domain and live as long as the sun and moon.

'I'm afraid this ability has already entered the territory of gods, even if it is only sensing the earth...'

'But for me to have this ability, does that mean I've become the Celestial Ruler of Gaia?' Leon wondered.

Alas, the thought only lasted a moment before Leon scratched the idea from his mind. It was ridiculous just thinking about it.

The detection ability was considered an earthen ability.

However, his Earth Law has yet to reach the level of Transcendents, let alone Celestials. It was impossible to suddenly become the Celestial Ruler of Gaia.

'Not unless the Celestial Realm was not the prerequisite for fusing with Celestial Bodies, but something else?' Leon suddenly thought, bringing himself back to the topic.

'For example, one's soul perhaps? If it's my soul, which is that of a Divine Practitioner at the Divine Origin Realm, it might be possible?'

Shortly after, Leon could not help but mentally shake his head and sigh, 'All this thinking is getting me nowhere.'

'If I want answers, I need to completely fuse with earth to find out. However, that might be a path of no return...” Leon mentally frowned.

He could sense an inexplicable force pulling his consciousness towards the center of Gaia as if it wanted to devour him whole.

When Leon focused his sense on the subterranean world below, he could not help but feel amazed and dreadful at the same time.

'I knew that the subterranean world exists and that it is extremely vast. Still, it is much more boundless than I had anticipated...' Leon pondered.

Using his new earth sense ability, he could feel the layout of each underground floor.

He had only been to the third floor at most. But at this moment, he could sense far, far beyond that.
