Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies Chapter 256 Perfection

The very concept of being able to mimic any and every heavenly law was unfathomably profound and strictly speaking, absolutely heaven-defying! When Yan Zaizen had mimicked his true-essence into an attribute, the Heavenly Commanders were startled into disbelief. If they knew Yan Zaizen could apply the same scenario to his heavenly aura-infused true-essence, their jaws would sweep the floor until it could be eaten off of!
A heavenly shrine was very strict and it became the new center to execute arts and funnel true-essence! Even if you obtained a fire law heavenly shrine, your water laws would not receive any increment of power from it! If you're a fifth-floor Heavenly Genesis cultivator, then unless it originated from your shrines core law, all other laws would only be a little stronger than a fully attribute-centric peak-True Essence Realm expert.
With this as a seemingly irrevocable law, cultivators only used their heavenly shrine's law and nothing else!
Yet, the Imperial Law of Mimicry shattered this irrevocable law as if it was bullshit being stomped by a bull!
Pinaka and Yan Zaizen had eyes like twins, they couldn't contain their excitement.
Suddenly, in front of Yan Zaizen, a faint sky-blue light surged in front of him. This faint sky-blue light became a figure that was staring at the pyramid with her own eyes!
When this figure appeared before Yan Zaizen, he was rendered breathless. His eyes traced the countenance of this figure, and his breathless state was entirely warranted!
Pinaka had always been a beauty, but at the moment, she was beautiful to the point that if perfection was personified, it would cry in inferiority! Her eyebrows were thin yet perfectly position, her spiritual surface that could be called her skin looked as soft and smooth as water itself, waist-length hair as dark and beautiful as night, and a willowy physique with long legs. Her eyes were as amber-gold as Yan Zaizen, seeming as if it contained moving lava that could encapsulate the world!
As for her attire, no longer did she wear a simple robe. An appropriately fitting misty white imperial robe with an amber-gold trim that seemed to originate from the Tang dynasty graced her body. As Yan Zaizen saw this new robe, he felt that only this robe, only this robe of misty-white that seemed to contain all things yet nothing, did her justice!
As he watched this robe, it shifted in color and design. Sometimes it would be a bow and arrow, other times it would be a golden crown befitting a queen, and sometimes it would be swirling black holes!
Unlike most dresses of this design, the area around the legs did not touch the ground. Her feet and lower part of her legs were completely revealed. Just this glimpse caused Yan Zaizen to gulp slightly. This was a subconscious action!
As if sensing something, Pinaka turned around to see Yan Zaizen's dazed eyes. As one connected to his soul, she immediately felt his thoughts surge.
"You…" was all she could say. At first, she was wondering if Yan Zaizen would like the fact that his False Grand Dao had heavily changed her, but looking at his appearance, she was vastly underestimating her new appeal. In truth, the only reason she survived the inter-heavenly spatial platform before was because of Yan Zaizen developing his False Grand Dao!
Because of this, she received an inestimable amount of power!
Despite that, she was still severely wounded.
Slowly, Yan Zaizen's expression calmed down. In his eyes, an amber-gold light flickered. "In my earlier life...I always wanted a life filled with immense wealth, good food, and a beautiful woman," he stated as if he was talking about something profoundly important. "I obtained wealth! I obtained good food! Yet, I always wondered…"
As his words flowed, as an existence connected to his soul and could understand his intent in all things, Pinaka's eyes widened as her soul form slightly throbbed.
"Why did I never want for a beautiful woman?" With a burning gaze, he looked at this astonishingly beautiful woman before him. True spirit or not, this woman meant the world to him. He had met her when he only experienced nineteen years of life(at the time, he was twenty-two cause of chaotic space), and since then, she had followed him, helped him, and always been there for him.
He spent two thousand years with this woman right by his side!
With a step, he strode confidently towards Pinaka. He stopped merely an inch from her abundantly proud chest. The eyes of his was of a sovereign that seemed to desire all things in the world, ruled all things in the world, and willed for all things in this world. They shone so brightly at the moment. These eyes bore deeply into Pinaka's.
Pinaka's thoughts were chaotic. Because of their soul connection, she could already feel Yan Zaizen's emotions and intent, so it was like knowing the end of a movie, yet she felt beyond nervous inside!
As if she couldn't hold it in, she interjected nearly subconsciously, "I'm a True...Spirit...I can't bear your children or enter reincarnation with you…" her words were true, but when it was said, profound sadness reverberated throughout chaotic space. The surrounding space itself trembled slightly, it was subtle that Pinaka and Yan Zaizen had no way of knowing, but it did! This tremble seemed to signify an intense sorrow, a sorrow of the heavens!
From birth, Pinaka wished with her entire existence to one day become human! This was something she had never once told anyone, not even her old masters.
However, what happened next completely caused her to become dazed.
Yan Zaizen laughed with the arrogance of gods infused within! "If you want a physical body, I'll force the heavens to make a perfect one for you! If you want to enter the reincarnation, I'll make the heavens accept you! If the heavens dare disobey, I'll destroy its will and create my own heaven!" His voice was spoken low and deep, but it contained immeasurable might!
The pyramid that currently contained his Grand Dao faintly illuminated. Its rays of light were soft yet became the sun in chaotic space for a single moment.
All things in chaotic space, all things within the Major Canis Realm, they all went silent for a single moment. This moment was brief, but as if unified in fear, the people, the air, the atmospheric essence or rays from light, it all paused without exception!
All except Pinaka!
Her entire body trembled slightly. A deep surge of excitement surged from her core.
With a bright smile that seemed to contain perfection itself, she softly nodded, "Okay."
That word!
That single word will later cause a calamity of which even the heavens fate will be uncertain!
Yan Zaizen's hand caressed Pinaka's soft cheek, as he did, Pinaka didn't blush or feel embarrassed. Her eyes suffused with deep confidence that could never shatter, and her eyes were that of a queen! They were demanding action!
Yan Zaizen chuckled once more before he leaned in. Their lips, one made of flesh, another made of soulforce, touched! As they pressed together, although sparks did not fly, a fluctuation rippled! Yan Zaizen's physical body segregated from his soul.
Astral Projection!
His physical body moved away silently, but even then, Yan Zaizen's soul had never moved! Their two lips touched in utter completion, two soul forms were connected via the lips in the vast emptiness of chaotic space. In this realm, only these two existed. In this realm, only these two mattered!
If Ma Xiuren was his first kiss in his path as a man.
Then, this was his first kiss in his path as a true sovereign!
Their souls became indistinct. If one looked closer, they were merging slowly together into a single existence. However, this was not a fusion of souls. This was the highest form of intimacy two soul forms could ever possess!
Soul Link!
Their two souls, their soul sources, their spiritual sense, their soul energy, all of it mixed together in perfect harmony. Yan Zaizen could feel all of Pinaka's emotions and see all her memories, her fear at birth, her struggles in battle, her sadness at the deaths of her many masters - especially her last, and the happiness and content being beside Yan Zaizen. This contentment slowly transformed into something more.
He even saw her jealousy. The dislike at protecting Ma Xiuren, albeit slight, in the Asura Phantom Realm. Her hatred towards Yao Wuhen for her blatant attempts at seducing Yan Zaizen. The slap against Lang Xue for her intimate contact and annoying behavior during the Sirius Titan Realm. The kiss of Ma Xiuren!
As he felt all that, how it all started way before he even conceived a single thought of relation with Pinaka.
He realized the true turning point.
The sub-realm collapse!
At the moment, she had no regrets as long as she died with Yan Zaizen!
After who knows how long, their souls separated. However, when they did, they seemed intrinsically different. It was the light in their eyes as they looked at each other. They were...perfect.
