Chapter 3181 - 1197: Complete Original Source, Golden Punishment (Part 2)
Chapter 3181 - 1197: Complete Original Source, Golden Punishment (Part 2)
Fang Qingxue appropriately said, "If these few can break through before the Epoch Transition, perhaps they can become our companions in forcefully charging through the Gate of Annihilation."
"Let’s hope so!"
Luo Chen nodded noncommittally.
After some exchanges, Gu Fang and the others took their leave without causing more disturbance.
They both could see that Luo Chen’s current situation wasn’t favorable; he needed rest. Today’s meeting provided insights into the situation outside the Great Destruction Realm, which was already a gain.
Watching their departing figures, Luo Chen sighed quietly.
Even if Ice Emperor Xiao Lin and the others manage to break through, what of it?
Ultimately, they’re only just entering the Martial Dao Human Immortal Realm.
It’s even said that Gu Xun, an immortal of many years, at best compares to Yuan Qingzang under normal circumstances.
In the Great Destruction Realm, the only one Luo Chen truly favored was Fang Qingxue.
Not just because she’s young, but most importantly, due to her strength.
This woman has cultivated in the harsh Chaos Sea, now her strength has reached the late-stage Human Immortal Realm, not inferior to the central martial artists in the battle at the Ancient God Dojo.
Especially since she previously received extensive guidance from the clan ancestor, Master of Wuyou Realm, undoubtedly having some trump cards.
Luo Chen has witnessed firsthand the strength of the Master of Wuyou Realm.
The battle at the Ancient God Dojo!
Hundreds of Martial Dao Human Immortals charged unafraid of death, the Four Great Annihilation Kings joined forces, a battle worthy of being called tragic.
Among them, Corpse Demon and Old Monster Tianku were the most troublesome, with Heavenly Xuan Constellations achieving the best results, severing Golden Punishment Venerable’s physical body with a stroke.
But the one truly wielding the greatest power was undoubtedly the Master of Wuyou Realm.
He was the first to drag Golden Punishment Venerable in, held his ground against him head-on, and ultimately trapped his primordial spirit with the Exotic Treasure Ancient Mirror.
Such capability, truly unfathomable.
If evaluating using Immortal Dao Realm, even Void Refining True Monarch couldn’t reach such levels.
This forced Luo Chen to reevaluate the comparison between Martial Arts Realm and Immortal Dao Realm.
In the early stage of the Destruction Realm, and even the middle stage, it should be comparable to the normal Void Refining True Monarch.
But as one steps into the late stage of the Destruction Realm, the strength is likely approaching the so-called Integration Great Venerable.
Especially old monsters like the Master of Wuyou Realm, who sit at the Gate of Annihilation for three thousand years, simply immeasurable.
"What a pity time doesn’t favor me. Otherwise, with the help of Primordial Cauldron, I could’ve cultivated in front of the Gate of Annihilation for a few thousand years. Perhaps then I could genuinely attempt to reach the Nirvana Realm all martial artists dream of, becoming the legendary Creator Lord!"
Martial Arts Seventh Realm Nirvana, opening inner space, containing Martial Arts creation, respected as the Creator Lord!
Reaching that step marks the true apex of Martial Arts.
Luo Chen exhaled turbid qi and awoke from impractical fantasies.
The adverse surroundings seemed invisible to him; he focused all his energy on his physical body.
The urgent task is to heal first!
Otherwise, with these injuries, he doesn’t even qualify to cultivate at the Second Ring.
The physical body is no longer leakless; chaotic energy infiltrates incessantly, even with the protection of the Primordial Cauldron, only a regretful end of death and Dao disappearing awaits.
Everything else can wait.
Luo Chen casually chose a place and sat cross-legged.
He concentrated on the faint golden light on his body.
Under the impact of Blood Refining Divine Gang, the domineering stance of the golden light remained unchanged.
It’s worth noting that his Blood Refining Divine Gang, merged with Nine Tribulations Earth Evil, Unforgiving Heavenly Wind, and Source Blood, cultivated over hundreds of years, is immensely formidable.
Yet this golden light, seemed to ignore it entirely.
"Complete Law Power?"
Luo Chen mumbled to himself.
He had already discerned the attributes of Golden Punishment Venerable’s Law Power, being of the Metal Type.
Its inner Golden Origin, exceptionally sharp, continually cuts and tears apart the Blood Refining Divine Gang.
Truly blocking this continuous erosion of the golden light was the Martial Arts Divine Intent contained in the Gang Qi!
Previously busy traveling, now calm, he finally had energy to contemplate.
Law Origin is the goal of Immortal Cultivation.
While Martial Arts Divine Intent, is the ultimate product of Martial Cultivation.
Both should be parallel products, evident from the Martial Arts Divine Intent’s ability to counter Immortal Cultivator’s Divine Soul Attack.
This explains why Luo Chen’s vast Divine Intent could resist the further erosion of the golden light.
But Luo Chen could only defend bitterly, this even with the Law Power greatly suppressed in the Returning Ruins.
The reason for this situation lies in the fact that Golden Punishment Venerable’s Origin Power isn’t weak like what Luo Chen initially attained at the God Transformation Realm, its Golden Origin has reached Completion, undeniably complete!
Therefore, Luo Chen can only defend, unable to eliminate it.
If that’s the case...
Luo Chen’s eyes squinted slightly, he didn’t know how the Master of Wuyou Realm resolved such injuries, but he had a rough plan himself.
"Primordial Cauldron!"
Luo Chen took a deep breath, in an unobserved state, slowly revealed the Primordial Cauldron.
With a pinch of the fingertip seal gesture, he cautiously activated the Primordial Cauldron.
A grey halo diffused out, attaching bit by bit onto the golden light, then attempting to infiltrate, disassemble, devour.
This process is extremely slow but unwavering.
After three whole days and nights, Luo Chen felt a surge of energy.
"It’s working!"
He could sense that the terrifying sharpness on his body had diminished slightly.
This also verified the feasibility of his method.
"The current Primordial Chaos Tripod is no longer an ordinary Magical Treasure True Artifact, nor does it belong to the class of Spiritual Treasures; it already has the embryonic form of a Dao Artifact."
"It can refine even complex chaotic energy and slowly absorb law fragments."
"Although the complete Law Origin is troublesome, as long as I persist, I can gradually eliminate it."
Relieved, Luo Chen did not completely relax.
As the saying goes, time!
For now, time is too tight for him.
Healing alone isn’t enough; he must also prepare thoroughly for the upcoming departure from the Returning Ruins.
"I need to speed up."
Muttering to himself, Luo Chen began to fully mobilize the Primordial Chaos Tripod, increasing the rate of devouring the golden light.
...
Time quickly passed.
The changes within the Returning Ruins were different each day.
The erosion suffered by the Great Destruction Realm was becoming more severe.
The situation inside the Nine-layered Immortal Tower was also worsening.
When another century came to pass, the Martial Arts Divine Spirit left by Luo Chen in the Array Core opened the Nine-layered Immortal Tower.
The martial artists inside couldn’t wait to leave, while the martial artists in the Leakless Realm outside wanted to enter to seek refuge.
These conflicting emotions created a bizarre atmosphere in Wuyou City.
Inside the tower, however, there was good news.
Another Martial Arts Human Immortal was born.
It didn’t go against Gu Fang and the others’ expectations; the person who ascended was not from the Wild Barbarian Martial Sect with profound foundation, nor the talented Ice Emperor, but Martial Fool Xiao Lin!
Started martial arts at seven, twelve Vajra.
Entered Furnace Realm before the age of one hundred, and at two hundred entered the Annihilation Nine Rings as a newly-advanced Leakless Realm martial artist.
Four hundred years later, at six hundred years of age, achieved Martial Arts Human Immortal Realm!
This cultivation speed is not considered fast, but there were almost no bottlenecks along the process.
If only he had the guidance of top experts like the Master of Wuyou Realm, perhaps his speed would have been faster.
We can only say, worthy of being the descendant of Abandoned Immortal Xiao Lan!
When he ascended the third ring, only Gu Xun and Fang Qingxue went to greet him; Luo Chen was not there.
Because at this moment, Luo Chen was at a critical juncture.
Just one step away, he could completely pull out the golden light from his body.
On Li Chen Island, Luo Chen was drenched in sweat, with a giant wound across his chest and abdomen, almost ripping through half of his body.
Within it, the golden light like Bone Creeping Maggots was being pulled out little by little.
The Primordial Chaos Tripod was suspended above his head, spinning rapidly.
"Come out!"
A low, suppressed shout suddenly echoed, and the Gang Qi around Luo Chen shook violently.
The faint gold light finally slowly floated outward.
The Primordial Chaos Tripod cast grey light, grinding and absorbing it bit by bit.
Luo Chen, holding his body, watched as his flesh squirmed and rapidly healed, gazing at the gradually dissipating golden light, feeling utterly relieved.
And just at this moment, a sharp yet chaotic sensation rushed towards his head before the golden light completely dissipated.
"Divine Soul Attack?"
Luo Chen was startled.
But within his Sea of Consciousness, there was already a reaction.
The main soul, which had been feigning sleep for many years, suddenly opened its eyes and spoke towards the void with a thunderous sound.
"Roar!"
The soundless thunder roar exploded into thousands of golden waves within the Sea of Consciousness.
The Divine Soul Attack finally dissipated.
At this moment, the threat brought by Golden Punishment Venerable to Luo Chen vanished completely.
Luo Chen didn’t expect that within Golden Punishment Venerable’s divine power, there was a faint trace of Divine Soul Attack.
Fortunately, he wasn’t an Immortal Cultivator in the Mahayana Period but a Mahayana True Spirit.
Otherwise, just this one Divine Soul Attack would be unbearable.
Amidst the relief, Luo Chen suddenly froze.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the main soul that should have continued to slumber showed a somewhat thoughtful expression.
"Golden Punishment?"
