Chapter 396: The Primordial Mystery of Water, the Immortal Pearl of the Vast Sea

[Talent: Comprehension of Water's Momentum, Primordial Water Profundity.]

[Magic Treasure: Azure Sea Immortal Pearl (Top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure)]

[Mastered Divine Abilities: ...]

Fang Ming thought, "Chu Lingtian? So he is a being whose memories were recorded by the Ancient Saint Jin Bifeng over a hundred chaotic epochs."

"In this chaotic epoch, the Kui Shui tribe also has a Chu Lingtian. He has also cultivated to the Great Emperor level, but he is merely a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. He is still far from the Half-step Great Dao realm, let alone an invincible in his realm like this Primordial Profundity realm."

The power of the Ancient Saints, once divided among all individuals in a realm, would be easier to seize.

Jin Bifeng, this Ancient Saint, was far more powerful than the Primordial Origin Spirit. Upon descending, he possessed the strength of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Fang Ming could not defeat him at this moment. However, after being divided into individual beings of the realm, the situation changed drastically.

This was precisely the intention of Fú Mèng.

Chu Lingtian before him was not as strong as even the weakest Ancient Saint, Lu Ya, nor an ordinary Great Dao Saint. Fang Ming could seize all his energy almost instantly.

This was the advantage of division.

Of course, in the current situation, although he could easily crush Chu Lingtian, there was no need to seize his power directly.

Fang Ming still wanted to visit the realm of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

His thoughts were hidden from others.

However, Fang Ming quickly laughed heartily, "Chu Lingtian, you have cultivated for a hundred chaotic epochs, and you are only at the Half-step Great Dao realm. Do you think you can compare to me?"

Chu Lingtian was immediately enraged.

He had cultivated for a full hundred chaotic epochs and had finally reached the Primordial Profundity realm.

Although the Primordial Profundity realm was essentially the same as the Half-step Great Dao realm, its combat power far surpassed it. A newly entered Primordial Profundity cultivator could easily contend against a hundred Half-step Great Dao cultivators of the same level.

This was because this realm was a cultivation system deduced by the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, which transcended chaos. Naturally, it had its advantages.

But ultimately, its essence was inferior to that of a Great Dao Saint. Therefore, even at the peak of the Primordial Profundity realm, one could only resist a Great Dao Saint for a thousand or ten thousand rounds, but would ultimately be defeated.

Naturally, it could not compare to those Great Dao Saints who surpassed chaos within a single chaotic epoch, transcending chaos independently without external help, those who dominated a chaotic epoch.

To Chu Lingtian, Fang Ming before him was likely a cultivator at the Half-step Great Dao realm, at the same level as himself.

Within a single chaotic epoch of cultivation, he could reach a realm that Chu Lingtian took a hundred chaotic epochs to achieve. How could Chu Lingtian not be jealous?

"Primordial Profundity Power! Azure Sea Without Waves!"

Chu Lingtian conjured a pearl from his palm, unleashing a water-element divine ability.

Instantly, boundless waves rolled for billions of light-years, and endless floods seemed to transform the entire chaos into a vast ocean.

This was the divine ability of an ordinary Half-step Great Dao cultivator.

But it was far from the divine ability of a Primordial Profundity realm cultivator.

"Primordial Profundity Power of the Water Element! Empower me!"

Chu Lingtian shouted to the sky.

Everyone saw a phantom world manifesting within Chu Lingtian's body.

The phantom world was immensely grand, primarily based on the water element, with the other four elements as auxiliaries.

The Five Elements evolved all things, and no other laws existed.

The world was illusory, not yet materialized, but a power was rooted in its deepest core.

Primordial Profundity Power!

As long as Chu Lingtian had enough Primordial Profundity Power, he would have a chance to transform the illusory world into reality and step into the Great Enlightenment True Immortal realm.

Although the Primordial Profundity Power was insufficient at this moment, with a mere thought, Chu Lingtian channeled it to empower his water-element divine ability, almost infinitely increasing its might!

Primordial Profundity Power was no trivial matter.

Fang Ming saw that although Chu Lingtian did not possess much Primordial Profundity Power, by using only a small portion of it, he could easily defeat and kill ordinary Half-step Great Dao cultivators!

In the face of Primordial Profundity Power, those who were submerged could hardly resist. Even ten Pangus would be defeated and even killed in one move!

Fang Ming had once seen the strongest submerged beings from several chaotic epochs replicated by the Primordial Origin Spirit. None of them could compare to even one-tenth of Chu Lingtian's current strength.

The path of Primordial Profundity was indeed remarkable. When taken to its extreme, it even surpassed the path of the Primordial Origin Spirit.

If Jin Bifeng himself were here, the outcome would be self-evident.

But...

"A mere inner disciple of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace is not worthy!"

Facing the raging storm and the colossal waves sweeping across the vast chaos, Fang Ming merely glanced at them.

His gaze contained Xuan Qing Qi!

As his gaze swept over, Chu Lingtian seemed to see a sword light in Fang Ming's eyes!

Immortal Slaying Sword Qi!

Countless Immortal Slaying Sword Qi directly blasted apart the colossal waves that swept across the vastness.

Even the terrifying waves, empowered by Primordial Profundity Power and possessing partial origin laws, retreated under the approach of the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.

Finally, with a thunderous roar, they completely collapsed!

The Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, after shattering this divine ability, continued to advance at speeds many times that of light, stopping at Chu Lingtian's brow.

Chu Lingtian broke out in a cold sweat, daring not to move. He felt that this Immortal Slaying Sword Qi was definitely something that could only be unleashed by a Great Dao Saint or above!

He could absolutely not contend with such power. Most importantly, this sword qi was less than a centimeter from his brow. If he moved even slightly, it would be the moment of his death and destruction!

A single gaze, containing sword intent, could cause his death at any moment!

Chu Lingtian finally understood how powerful Fang Ming was!

This young man was at the Half-step Great Dao realm?

Go to hell! Whose brain conjured up such a conclusion!

It had no basis in reality whatsoever!

Even the golden-armored man leading this group, this inner sect deacon who had cultivated to the Great Enlightenment True Immortal realm, was not as strong as this young man, was he?

Such a person... such a person... why had he not transcended chaos, transcended the chaotic epoch, and remained in chaos?

While Chu Lingtian was still in shock.

The cultivators from various realms were also immensely astonished.

The golden-armored man made his move.

Within him resided a real world, filled with the origin laws of the metal element.

The golden-armored man channeled the power of the origin laws within his world to his palm and reached out to grasp the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.

Fang Ming watched this scene without any obstruction, allowing the golden-armored man to collect the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi.

After collecting the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, the golden-armored man's tone completely relaxed, and he bowed to Fang Ming, "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for forgiving my disciple's insolence."

"I did not harm his life."

Through Fang Ming's previous actions, the golden-armored man had fully understood Fang Ming's strength.

A single gaze, containing sword intent, could directly defeat a Primordial Profundity realm cultivator.

This was far beyond what a Great Dao Saint could achieve.
