Wu Hong rushed to confront Wang Wei, but things were different this time. She did not use her Sealing Dao, facing him in a pure fleshly body battle. Although Wang Wei did not know her exact intention, he also followed her. These two clashed, purely using their flesh. Each strike causes intense destructive waves to the surrounding primordial chaos.
Wang Wei observed while fighting, and he realized Wu Hong's control over her body was higher than his. She had reached the [True Heavenly Dao Control] in his [Force Control Skill].
'No, it should be close to the [ TrueHeavenly Dao Control],' he analyzed. The best way to describe her level is based on Heavenly Daos, divided based on their world. Source Chaos World's True Heavenly Dao is Half-Step Transcendent, so their control of laws or Daos is on another level. However, it's different for normal Chaos Worlds.
Wu Hong's level of control should be similar to the True Heavenly Dao of a normal Chaos World. Moreover, she has reached a peak at that level. As long as she takes a step into the transcendent realm, she'll get that level of control.
'Is it possible to achieve Half-Step Transcendent by attaining a higher level of control? For example, if a Paragon's control of the law reaches the level of a Source Chaos World's True Heavenly Dao?' After mulling it over, Wang Wei realized this path was feasible and fell under the category of [Achieving Transcendence Through Skills].
'This idea is good, but how exactly could someone reach that level? Unless they could have direct access to a Source World's Heavenly Dao and its operation of the law. So, a technique that can obverse the operation of the rules of Heaven and Earth?' Such a technique is easy and challenging to create. If Heavenly Dao does not care, then this path is feasible. But if Heavenly Dao does not want anyone to peep at their core secrets, then this path is a dead end.
'An alternate method would be to observe countless True Heavenly Daos from Non-Source Chaos Worlds.' Depending on the world, any Paragon can overwhelm the Heavenly Dao of a Non-Source Chaos Worlds, meaning this approach is more feasible. However, the chances of success are lower, and it also takes a lot of time to deduce how the Source World's True Heavenly Dao operates from observing the Non-Source World's True Heavenly Dao.
"You're distracted," Wu Hong suddenly said before she punched Wang Wei into oblivion.
"Damn it, why is your body so strong," Wang Wei complained as he regenerated. "What body refining technique did you cultivate?"
"Heaven and Earth Body."
"The Body Ancestor's Technique?"
"That's right. When I was in the Divine Body Realm, I found one of the prototypes he left in the world as a fortunate encounter and completed it with my Seal Dao," Wu Hong explained.
"Doesn't that thing require using worlds to cultivate?"
"I found a destroyed Greater Thousand World and used it for my cultivation."
"What about after you ascended? Did you cultivate another technique?"
"There was no need," Wu Hong explained. "This place has countless destroyed worlds and dimensions for me to use. I only need to seal them into my body and use them to temper my flesh. Later, after becoming a Paragon and traveling through primordial Chaos, I found a Chaos World that had just been born and absorbed it."
"How come you seem luckier than me," Wang Wei complained.
"You may be the Son of Fate, but I'm the Darling of Luck," Wu Hong proudly sneered. Wang Wei wanted to complain. Although he has abundant luck, he rarely has any extraordinary fortunate encounters, and that's because his luck manifests in the form of his background — the Dao Opening Sect. Most of the rare things he needed for cultivation can be acquired by asking his sect; that's why he appeared less lucky than Wu Hong. Meanwhile, she had to start from scratch to build a lineage like the Origin Seal Continent — she needed these fortunate encounters.
"Enough with the chit-chat," Wu Hong said with a severe expression. "Do you know how many flaws you have as a fighter?"
"It can't be that bad," Wang Wei defended himself.
"Let me list a few," Wu Hong said. "Let's start with the environment. I'm sure you've learned to use the environment in battles. Do you think such logic no longer applies to you with your current strength?"
Wang Wei listened carefully.
"Primordial Chaos is a potent power with many utilization," Wu Hong continued. "It has an excellent effect on the [Essence], so most top Inextinguishable Paragons will create techniques that allow them to passively temper their bodies while fighting. In other words, the longer the fight lasts, and the more they fight, the stronger they become.
"Even the ones who have reached the peak of their realm and can no longer improve will use these techniques to give them small boosts in stats. And that's just one of the many applications. "At that level, our body has infinite stamina — unless outside forces interfered. So, if you meet someone who can weaken your body and reduce your stamina, primordial chaos is the best source to replenish yourself.
"High concentration of primordial chaos can affect the use of the Grand Dao Source, similar to how Immense Qi from the Source Qi Space can do the same. Fiendgods are masters of this technique, so you need to learn to use it and how to deal with such a method."
Wang Wei nodded while also smiling wryly: "I understand what you mean, but you should also understand."
"I know your cultivation is low, and you haven't even entered primordial chaos before," Wu Hong said. "But you should understand that your destiny means a lot of trouble awaits you. There is no telling when you'll be forced into an unprepared situation."
"You're right." "Next, it's a certain mindset regarding battle," Wu Hong continued. "It's best if I demonstrate." She rushed forward and started a hand-to-hand fight with Wang Wei. Midway through their confrontation, four arms suddenly grew from Wu Hong and punched Wang Wei's ribs. He reacted by creating a field around his body as defense, barely blocking the four terrifying punches. However, a weird scorpion tail grew from Wu Hong's back and pieced his defense. As Wang Wei was about to defend again, her hair suddenly grew long and captured him.
"We are Inhumans, meaning battles are not limited by our human form," Wu Hong warned. "Every part of our body is a weapon. I once defeated a Paragon with spit. Once she least expected it, I turned my spit into the most corrosive substance between Heaven and Earth, and it melted her body and soul."
Wang Wei was speechless. It was one thing to lose to someone but another to lose to their spit. This kind of humiliation — he wondered how that Paragon felt once she revived.
"Don't think this is weird," Wu Hong continued. "When you fight Fiendgods, you'll realize what it means to fight weird and inhumane humanoid creatures. I was almost killed by a Fiengod whose beard was cultivated by violent spatial energy. He took advantage of my ignorance to release a storm of extremely sharp spatial energy from his beard that almost sent me to Limbo."
"I'll keep that in mind," Wang Wei nodded.
"How many Paragons Artifacts do you have?" Wu Hong suddenly asked.
"None," Wang Wei replied, giving her a strange look.
"Well, that's the problem," she added. "In the Paragon Realm, your soul is powerful enough to control many weapons, meaning you cannot rely only on your Proving Dao Artifact. In fact, most Paragons will refine powerful one-time use Paragon Artifacts as their trump card."
"One-time use?"
"Yes. They sacrificed the longevity of the artifact for extreme power," Wu Hong nodded.
"In other words, wealth contributes to how powerful a Paragon is?" Wang Wei sighed
"Yes, that's why most Paragons are from a faction or build their own to help them amass wealth," Wu Hong nodded. "You need to learn or create your own Artifact Controlling Technique. Although your Dao is not enough, your soul meets the requirement."
"Can I see your collection?"
"You can find them in the library," Wu Hong replied.
"Good. Any other flaws?"
"We're just starting," Wu Hong sneered. "I noticed you heavily favored using your fist over your legs when fighting. Such a mindset will limit your variety of attacks and make you predictable.
"Speaking of predictability, you overthink too much," Wu Hong continued. "You like to analyze and plan three to five steps ahead of your opponent."
"Is there something wrong with that?"
"In 99% of battles, such approach is the best. However, what happens when you meet an opponent who is better at predicting your move."
Wang Wei wanted to say something arrogant that no one would be better than him in that area when he remembered the person before him was indeed better. In this short confrontation, Wu Hong was indeed always one step ahead of his predictions.
"Intuition," Wang Wei uttered.
"That's right. You need to learn to switch between [Analysis Fighting Mode] and [Pure Instinct Fighting Mode]."
"I understand."
"Now for your greatest weakness — your soul."
"Are you serious?"
Wu Hong shook her head in disappointment. "Haven't you realized I've been reading your mind throughout this entire fight?"
Wang Wei's face became ugly.
"You're so used to not worrying about your soul in battle that when you meet an expert like me, you become useless."
"But I've trained my soul," Wang Wei said, trying to save some face.
"Yes, but only against people weaker than you," Wu Hong explained. "You've never faced someone on the same soul level as you, let alone someone more powerful. Tell me, how much did you improve after your defeat against Di Tian?"
"The greatest improvement in strength in my life."
"Exactly. Without an opponent of a similar level for soul battles, how did you expect yourself to have any form of achievement?"
In Wu Hong's eyes, Wang Wei's soul accomplishments are good, but that's it. When it comes to an expert of her level, there are too many people who can see the flaw in his lack of soul battle experience.
