Many Treasures!

Escaping the void, Invincible appeared in a world dominated by black flames that burned so hot, it can only be called demonic.

The space around the flames collapsed in on itself, showing the flames' tyrannical might.

To Invincible, the temperature of the black flames reaches the level of a young sun. Meaning,it's only a matter of time before it grows to a frightening level.

Around the black flames, there are a few no notable items; a small tree, a staff, a drop of bicolor blood, and a red orb.

Looking at these treasures, Invincible revealed an expression of surprise as he knew what some of these treasures were.

The small tree is the Divine Yang Tree, a tree full of yang essence, and the embodiment of the highest form of 'hot' in the universe.

In his universe, there were trillions of different kinds of trees, but only a few could be called divine. Among them is the World Tree, Divine Water Tree, Sacred Pilgrim Tree and more.

The Divine Yang Tree may be small now, but in the future, it can reach the size of a universe.

The tree is capable of giving birth to all fire creatures, from a simple Fire Bird to a Golden Crow. Its dominion over the Dao of Fire was absolute, of course there are always exceptions as some beings exceed even that.

The Divine Yang Tree, according to the records in Immortal Realm, was a legendary treasure that was born from the finger bone of an Immortal Supreme.

This Immortal Supreme was responsible for the creation of the 33 Immortal Realms, while the other Immortal realms were created by new upcoming Immortals.

The Immortal Supreme was one, if not the most benevolent being in existence as he sacrificed his life to give life to the 33 Immortal Realms.

From his sacrifice, humans, beasts, and many things were born; including treasures such as the Divine Yang Tree, Dead Ocean Bead, One Inch Mountain, Metal Globe, Deep Forest Leaf, etc.

The Divine Yang Tree has numerous uses, but the most useful is to refine it into a Life Treasure, a treasure that grows along with its user.

Life Treasures are the most common type of treasure. Only a few types of treasure could grow and Divine Yang Tree is one of them.

The red orb and staff are also Life Treasures, with the red orb being a Rank 7 Life Treasure and the staff being a rank 6 Life Treasure, and the Divine Yang Tree, a rank 9 Life Treasure, the highest level of treasure.

He could sense that his luck had changed, while else would he arrive here?

Invincible looked at the drop of blood and revealed a startled expression. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, Dao Blood.

Dao Blood is the physical manifestation of the Grand Dao. Even if one is aware of the Daos, actually seeing it with one's eyes was impossible!

There are rare cases where Dao manifested, one of them was when one's comprehension of Dao reached the point where it overlapped with laws of the Great Dao.

When that happens, the Great Dao[1], while reluctant, has no choice but to reward one with Dao Blood.

Of course, the universe would benefit as well, such as when the person comprehends the laws, the limit of the universe would increase beyond its maximum capacity.

The universe would gain more energy from the void; being able to expand.

In a sense, the Dao Blood was far more important than the Divine Yang Tree because the Dao Blood can be used in the present, unlike the Divine Yang Tree, which would require many years to unleash the simplest form of power.

Like everything in existence, pros and cons come with the Dao Blood.

The advantage would be that one's limits would increase, meaning they could reach a higher realm.

Another pro would be creating an Immortal Body.

However, there are many cons. One would be restricted to only learning the Dao that the blood contained, nothing else.

Another drawback would be that one cannot surpass the limit of Grand Dao, meaning one cannot reach the exalted Immortal Supreme realm.

Thinking of all of these, Invincible revealed a hesitant expression, as he didn't want to forsake his future. However, as a simple soul, he had no future to speak of.

Making up his mind, Invincible rushed towards the Dao Blood, ready to begin his new life, however limited it was.

As long as he is alive, there will be an opportunity to fix this problem but if he is dead, he cannot do anything.

Knowing when to advance and retreat is something everyone should learn.

Coming into contact with the Dao Blood, Invincible felt like he entered a vast starry sky, that is like a separate universe.

Sitting cross-legged and he started to examine the blood and decide the process of creating his new body.

Feeling everything was in order, he commanded the blood to start creating a new body. As he did, his soul shook as the blood disappeared into him, instantly!

Invincible awoke and looked deep inside of him, revealing a stupefied expression as he noticed that the Dao Blood became a star that shone with the aura of life and death, inside his body.

He also noticed that the void energy that he absorbed had created an endless void inside of him, giving him the impression he could fit a universe inside of himself, which he knows is a misconception from having a void inside himself.

Thinking about the void energy he absorbed earlier, he wondered if he could create a body from that instead of the Dao Blood. If that was possible, his body would have the potential of an Immortal Supreme.

The benefit of it was that he would be destined to reach the Immortal Supreme realm if nothing major happens.

Not wasting a minute, Invincible brought some void energy from outside of his soul to create a body.

The first thing he created was a pair of feet, legs, waist, torso, arms, and then head.

Looking at the body he created, Invincible nodded with a smile. He was pleased with his new body, although it looked nothing like the one he initially had.

What was different, was his gray hair that reaches down to his waist and a large body that reaches 20 meters in height while sitting, and standing up, he would reach 30 meters.

It seems the cold and indifferent energy didn't seek to change my personality.

He was afraid that even after he refined the void energy, it would be beyond what he could control.

Invincible's soul didn't immediately get into his body and instead looked at the Divine Yang Tree, the red orb, and the staff.

He did not wish to abandon these items, treasures that he might not come across again.

As he approached closer to the Divine Yang Tree, the tree reacted violently as rays of colorful flames flew out of the tree and protectively flew around it, blocking Invincible's way.

Nevertheless, since his soul absorbed void energy, he was akin to the void itself, so he could fly directly through the rainbow flames and onto the Divine Yang Tree without injuries.

Enveloping the Divine Yang Tree with void energy, the tree vanished and appeared inside his Void, looking like a World Tree of myths and legends.

The small tree appeared in the center of the Void, with a single star radiating white and black glow flying above it.

If anyone from Yggdrasil was present, they would be shocked, wondering if Yggdrasil had come back to life.

With the success of the Divine Yang Tree, Invincible approached the red orb to collect it but was shocked at the scene in front of him.

The red ball that he thought was a Rank 7 Life Treasure showed more resistance than he thought.

The red ball started to shake, and a red aura spew out, with the shadow of a dragon manifesting, causing the orb to become one of its eyes.

The dragon's eyes were filled with hatred and anger, ready to smite the insolent being before it.

If it was any other person, they would not even realize someone was around, but the dragon's eyes looked directly at Invincible, and released a draconic fire that burned the void to nothingness!

Invincible knew that he was in trouble, but subduing this treasure with his void soul was easy, if he kept the dragon at bay.

Drawing void energy out of his Void and surrounding his palms as he attacks, an atmosphere of overbearingness premidate the area.

Everything his palms touch cease to be, returning to the void. There was no explosion, no noise, just a silence erasure of whatever was in his way, which was far more scary than if there was noise.

The dragon face change to a weary one, as Invincible's showcase of power shock it. While it was powerful, it was not able to draw on its true power without someone using him, and the only one that could was Ainz Ooal Gown!

It was bound to be subdue but that doesn't mean it can tolerate this person!

As a prideful child of Yggdrasil, it wasn't one to go down without a fight, especially being one of the World Items closest to the Twenty Stronges in terms of power.

The aura around the dragon seem to boil as more and more crimson aura appeared, manifesting a dozen other dragons.

There were many dragons, Asian dragons, western dragons, divine dragons etc.

All of them look powerful however, the chain around their necks, made them look weak.

Controlling the chains, the dragon issued a roar causing the suppress dragons to rush towards Invincible with no concern for their lives. Though it was hard to believe they were alive to begin with, with that huskless look in their eyes.

Looking away from the cannon fodders, the dragon cast its eyes at its main body hidden inside the Orb of Momonga, with chains wrapped around it.

On the red orb a draconic slit appeared with it looking at its incarnation and Invincible with indifference. It was the look of a hegemonic being looking at ants.

Looking at Invincible, the eye glowed with a deadly hue as if deciding to attack before choosing to obey its Master, and lay low.

The appearance and disappearance of the draconic eye seemed long, but it was quicker than the speed of light.

Looking at all the dragons that appeared in front of him, Invincible was unfazed as his palm shattered the dragons, causing them to turn into crimson aura and return to the orb.

His stride was not halted in the least, as he continued forward towards the dragon responsible for creating them.

He was constantly drawing out more void energy, making the places he passes to become pitch black and all Dao, Law and Rules to cease existing.

Considering it could only use 40-50% of its true strength, without disobeying his Master, the dragon chose to surrender.

It was scared of the colorless energy that was coming out its opponent's palms because it could hurt him, his true self. As for destroying it? Impossible.

Invincible stopped in front of the dragon and spoke, "Return to your original form. I promise I won't harm you." His voice was distant and near at the same time, and while he was talking to the dragon, most of his attention was on the staff, because he sensed its incredible power.

The staff radiated an arrogant aura that seemed to fear no one, but was instead to be feared.

Complying to his 'new' Master's words, the dragon returned to the Orb of Momonga and felt its surroundings shifted and he was inside a void, where a tree and a star are.

Other than those things, there was nothing else there, but thankfully, it could see because the small tree released flames that made the Void bright.

Getting rid of the red orb, Invincible steadily approached the staff, making sure to draw out lots of void energy into his palms, because he knew that he wouldn't be able to handle the staff like the Divine Yang Tree or the red orb. After all, most likely the void energy won't have as much effect on it as the others.
