Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 29 Harvest: Ambush

The long years of dedication have allowed the four of them to accumulate a vast amount of Heavenly Dao merit, each condensing a Golden Wheel of Merit. Moreover, the Golden Wheel is of extremely high quality, comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and has miraculous effects on protection, enlightenment, and cultivation.

If they were to spare no expense in using this massive amount of merit to directly improve their cultivation level, it should be enough to allow them to ascend to the heavens in one step and break through to the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

Moreover, their gains went far beyond that!

Over the course of more than thirty Yuanhui, the four of them traversed countless battlefields of the three races, personally experiencing the myriad laws and great principles remaining on the battlefields, confronting and colliding with them. In the process of clearing away evil energy and restoring heaven and earth, they verified their own great principles and benefited immensely, making rapid progress in their cultivation.

Currently, he, Yuanlun, and Yuanling have all broken through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and his true form has even broken through to the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and this is not even his first time entering this realm.

In addition, after clearing countless battlefields of the three races, the four of them smelted a massive amount of bloodlust and resentment, as well as the remains of beings from the three races and myriad races. They not only refined countless pure source energies that matched their own Great Dao, but also unearthed countless natural treasures, acquired spiritual treasures, and even nearly a hundred innate spiritual treasures from the battlefield ruins.

Although most of these innate spiritual treasures were damaged in the great battle, and were mainly low-grade innate spiritual treasures with few mid-grade ones, and none of them were high-grade or top-grade, their value is still immeasurable.

Although they used up a lot of source energy to repair the earth veins, the remaining source energy was three-quarters of the total source energy. All of it combined might be more than the total source energy of the three late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortals.

However, to the regret of the Yuan Realm, after more than thirty Yuanhui of effort, most of the battlefields of the three races that needed to be cleared have been cleared and repaired, with very few remaining. Their great opportunity is also coming to an end!

Although he felt some regret, Yuan Jie did not delay. He composed himself, raised his hand, and was about to tear through the void, traverse the heavens and earth, and head to the next small battlefield of the three races that needed to be cleared.

Suddenly, the ancestral aperture between Yuan Jie's eyebrows throbbed violently. A chilling sense of life-or-death crisis, originating from the deepest part of his soul, swept over his entire body in an instant. His hair stood on end, and his primordial spirit alarm bells blared, frantically issuing warnings.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Yuan Realm instantly activated the Great Luo Dao Fruit, unleashing boundless radiance of the Great Dao, and summoning the World Cauldron and the Universe Pearl.

The World Cauldron hangs above his head, its body radiating billions of rays of world light. A complete phantom of the world envelops him, suppressing the surrounding heaven and earth and isolating him from all external killing intent.

The Universal Pearl floated in front of him, radiating boundless and dazzling divine light. The Great Dao of Time and Space operated, causing the flow of time to become disordered and space to expand layer by layer in the area where he felt the danger.

As the World Cauldron and the Universe Pearl unleashed their power, a sharp, piercing sound echoed through the void. A long sword, its entire body jet black and shrouded in endless Yin and Netherworld Poisonous Qi, was forced through layers of void barriers and was already quite close to the Primordial Realm.

It is conceivable that if Yuanjie had not been so perceptive and sensed the danger, and had not used the World Cauldron and the Universal Pearl in time, that black longsword would probably have already pierced his brow.

Although his physical body and primordial spirit have both reached the level of low-grade innate spiritual treasures, this longsword may not be able to break through his physical body and primordial spirit.

However, having almost been ambushed, Yuan Yan couldn't help but feel furious. He activated his Great Luo Dao Fruit, connecting the Great Dao of the World with Heaven and Earth, and sensed an unusual void.

"You cowardly cowards, show yourself!" Yuanjie roared, his voice shaking the universe, the power of the Great Dao spreading out with his anger.

While expanding the illusory world with the World Cauldron, firmly suppressing spacetime and locking the black longsword to prevent it from escaping into the void again, he raised his hand to control the Universal Pearl in front of him. The pearl transformed into a stream of light, carrying the power of the Great Dao that crushed the chaotic spacetime, and smashed straight into that abnormal void, intending to kill the attacker.

"Young man, you're only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, yet you dare to be so insolent before the Ancestor?"

A cold, hoarse voice, filled with endless malice and arrogance, slowly echoed from the depths of the void.

At that moment, the void barrier shattered, and a white-haired old man dressed in a black Taoist robe, with a handsome appearance but a sinister and vicious aura between his brows and eyes, slowly walked out from the void turbulence.

The old man's body was churning with dark poison and malevolent energy. He raised his hand and threw a punch, his fist wrapped with endless Netherworld poison and the power of the Great Dao of Destruction, which slammed towards the incoming Universe Pearl.

The Great Dao of Time and Space clashed violently with the Great Dao of Nether Poison. Under the collision of the ultimate primal forces, layer upon layer of void barriers instantly collapsed and annihilated, and the world resounded with the mournful cries of the Great Dao.

At the same time, the jet-black longsword, which had been suppressed by the World Cauldron, also began to tremble violently under the old man's power of the Great Dao.

The sword's surface surged with black sword energy, and endless poisonous sword energy frantically washed over the illusory world image of the World Cauldron.

Accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, the longsword actually managed to break free from the suppressive force of the World Cauldron.

Although it still couldn't break through the protective illusion of the World Cauldron, the longsword instantly pierced through the void, turning into a black light that flew straight back into the old man's hand.

The old man, wielding a jet-black longsword, unleashed a powerful strike. With the sword's enhancement, the power of the Netherworld Poison Dao surged, instantly repelling the attack of the Universe Pearl.

In an instant, the energy between heaven and earth solidified.

Yuan Jie had the World Cauldron hanging above his head and the Universe Pearl in his hand. Two top-grade innate spiritual treasures protected his body, and the Great Dao of the World and the Great Dao of Time and Space were intertwined into a net. The old man opposite him held a black longsword, and his body was filled with the aura of Netherworld Poison. His cultivation at the Great Luo Perfection stage was overwhelming.

The two stood on opposite sides of the void, their Dao energy blooming, colliding, and clashing without reservation, filling the world with a deadly killing intent that could erupt at any moment.

"Boom!" The collision of two completely different Dao energies instantly tore apart the stable space around them, causing the spacetime of heaven and earth to become completely chaotic, with fragments of time and spatial turbulence flying everywhere.

However, in the blink of an eye, Yuan Jie's expression changed slightly. The old man's aura of the Great Dao was far more powerful than his own and kept pressing down. Despite his best efforts to resist, his own aura of the Great Dao was being compressed and he had already fallen into a disadvantageous position!

"The Great Luo Golden Immortal at Perfection—" Yuan Jie's heart sank instantly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Admittedly, he is a top-tier innate saint. After cultivating the Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang, his physical body and primordial spirit are comparable to low-grade innate spiritual treasures. He also possesses five high-grade innate spiritual treasures to protect him. His combat power is incomparable to that of an ordinary mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Even if he faces a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he has the power to fight and may even win.

However, within the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the difference between each minor realm is enormous. Although it's not a world of difference, being a minor realm higher generally allows one to easily defeat or even kill someone of a lower realm. He is most likely no match for a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his realm!

Moreover, he has an innate spiritual treasure with him, but the old man doesn't? The black longsword he revealed is clearly a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.
