Chapter 737: Gracious Inheritor |
Tangible Nature Minor Treasure—Gracious Inheritor!
This was created by Brangara by consuming a Free Human with a Vara Human Avatar and cultivating the resultant Tangible Nature to the 10-Life Stage and successfully turning it into a Minor Treasure. It was a process that he had begun from the day the Varahan Empire was founded.
All the excess wealth amassed by the Empire was consumed by him. And unlike other regions, the Varahan Empire's wealth was none other than Natures. Millions of Iron Grade Natures were consumed and digested while he kept his Primary Nature of Voracious Cultivator active.
These Natures were digested and used as fuel to nurture the Tangible Nature of Gracious Inheritance until it became a Minor Treasure. Of course, they alone weren't enough. Brangara had been consuming Silver Grade Pranic Beasts too, those being birthed nonstop in the Nests of the Varahan Empire.
And from time to time, he sent his second body to hunt in the wilds, consuming Gold Grade Pranic Beasts. Only with the combination of them all, plus a lot of time was this created. The result was the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Gracious Inheritor which had turned into a stomach.
"Let's inspect its capacity." Saying so, Brangara poured in twenty Iron Grade Natures, watching the stomach develop faintly in response. With a snap of his finger, a team of Royal Guards entered as all the Tangible Natures stored in their Human Avatars walked out and entered the stomach one after another.
By the time they were done, the stomach had grown a food pipe and mouth. The Royal Guards returned an hour later, having been supplied with Natures by Wean Clansmen. Similar to before, Brangara collected all their Natures and poured it into the Minor Treasure, watching it condense the buccal cavity in response.
Slowly, as they dumped Natures into it, the Minor Treasure began to grow, gradually taking on the form of a human male, sporting the appearance of the original who Brangara had consumed in the first place.
3600 Iron Grade Natures!
The sheer amount of influence being generated from the 3600 Iron Grade Natures was tremendous. But the Minor Treasure only morphed according to the influence. It wasn't destroyed. However, that was the limit.
No one could fuse with it as they did with other Minor Treasures. Anyone unfortunate to fuse with the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Gracious Inheritor would lose his mind in an instant.
Technically, Brangara could endure the influence, but it was better to not fuse with it. After all, it was a Tangible Nature Minor Treasure, which meant that it was under his control. Since he could control it without fusing with it, there was no need for Brangara to risk himself.
In place of the 3600 Iron Grade Natures, Brangara could also store 360 Silver Grade Natures in the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Gracious Inheritor. That was a lot, given Brangara could freely dispose of the Natures after a single use with his Astral Chart.
He could freely make as many combinations of Iron and Silver grade Natures as he wanted according to the situation. And once they had served their use, he could digest them to recover some power and take in another batch of Natures from the Minor Treasure.
Moreover, since he could digest Natures, the Minor Treasure pretty much acted as a reservoir of Prana for him, a massive one at that. As long as they were Tangible Natures, it meant they were condensed from as much Prana that composed their bodies. This wasn't limited to their Prana capacity but the amount one could get by digesting their bodies too, which added up to a lot for the larger Pranic Beasts.
Thereby, Brangara could selectively store Silver Grade Pranic Beasts with large bodies to maximise the storage value. Even otherwise, just the mobility of being able to use so many Natures without worries empowered him to a whole other level of versatility.
However, as it was created using a Silver Grade Human Avatar, the Tangible Nature Minor Treasure of Gracious Inheritor was limited to storing only Iron and Silver Grade Natures. To create one capable of storing Gold Grade Natures, Brangara would have to consume one of the Royal Guards and then cultivate the resultant Tangible Nature to the 10-Life Stage.
She patted it, smiling jubilantly as she scratched it, commenting upon hearing mild growls from it, "My rate of growth is slightly superior to its growing resistance. As long as I maintain this pace, she'll always be mine."
Even though the Kinesis Feline was a gender-neutral entity, Yarsha Zahara addressed it as a female. With a start, she jumped on its back and nodded at Brangara, "Let's go."
"Alright!" Brangara nodded and touched Yarsha Zahara as his body fused into hers.
Tertiary Nature—Major Treasure!
Using this, Brangara fused with her body similar to how a Major Treasure did it. There was a few seconds of silence, following which grunting sounds erupted, soon accompanied by cracking sounds from Yarsha Zahara.
Sweat dripped down from her forehead as the Prana flowing through her bloodstream became excited. A vast, uncontrollable power surged through her being, almost making her drunk on power. She took in deep breaths, bringing herself under control.
An entire day later, her still figure flinched slightly, resulting in a short emission of presence, one controlled to a boundary spanning a metre from her.
Yarsha Zahara raised her hand and dusted herself, observing that in a radius of a metre from her, the soil had been broken down to its finest level, causing the faintest of winds generated by her exhale to raise a dust cloud.
"Good, I'm under control now." She muttered and seeped her Prana into the Kinesis Feline, nodding as she watched the Minor Treasure of Gracious Inheritor hover behind her. She could control it through psychokinesis.
Grrr!
The body of the Kinesis Feline bulged faintly due to the sheer power of psychokinesis supplied to it. With a start, it kicked the ground and transformed into a golden flash, disappearing from the place.
Yarsha Zahara's voice resounded a second later, addressing Yamahara and the Body Stage Brangara, "Take care of the Empire in my absence."
None of the citizens even detected the golden flash. Even the Royal Guards only managed to catch a glimpse before the golden flash was out of sight. In a matter of hours, it had traversed past the borders of the Varahan Empire, making a quick beeline into the Sandy-Grey Void.
Prana burst out of her body and condensed into a thin barrier that enclosed her along with the Kinesis Feline. Her Spirit Weapon gently landed on the forehead of the Kinesis Feline and drilled into the latter faintly, strengthening its defences against the eldritch influences plaguing beyond the borders of Sumatra Continent.
Then, without any hesitation, the Kinesis Feline entered the Sandy-Grey Void, following the route relayed to Yamahara by the Transcendent Eater to chase after the Mammoth Clan's ship. Based on what Yamahara calculated according to the distance, travel difficulties, and interferences caused by the dangers of the Sandy-Grey Void along the route, he judged a timeline that allowed Yarsha Zahara to catch up to the Mammoth Clan right as the latter arrived next to an enclave.
That was the last enclave in the route, following which the Mammoth Clan's ship would be making its way into the tunnel leading to the Node where the Transcendent Worlds hover. Yamahara was unsure whether or not the Mammoth Clan intended to leave Sumatra.
However, he was aware that the only point in time where they could be stopped was at this Enclave, which was one of the oldest and largest in Sumatra.
Having been relayed the same, Yarsha Zahara's expression hardened as she was unable to see or hear anything in the Sandy-Grey Void, 'This is nothing. We have been extensively training for this trip.'
'We'll catch up on time!' She thought, for a moment thinking of her dead daughters, 'Those bastards will all pay!'
'How dare they target my children time and again?'
