Chapter 104 Earth Spirit Pearl
In the primordial world, numerous innate formations exist, each with a profound origin, embodying the innate principles they represent.
Among them, the Yin-Yang Principle, the Three Powers Principle, the Five Elements Principle… several innate principles supporting the primordial world have given rise to innate formations of unparalleled power, representing the very origin of heaven and earth.
But why are only the Zhou Tian Star Formation, the Du Tian Divine Fiend Formation, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation listed separately, hailed as the three top-tier formations of the primordial world?
It's not that the other innate formations are weak, but rather that the materials used to set up these three formations are far more extraordinary than the others.
It can be said that the reason these three innate formations can dominate the primordial world and overpower other innate formations is largely due to the prestige of the forces behind them; in terms of their own power, they are not significantly stronger than other innate formations.
The Zhou Tian Star Formation uses 365 main stars as its base, controlled by over 300 Great Luo Golden Immortals and several Quasi-Saints, suppressing the endless void.
The Great Divine Fiend Array, with the Heart of Pangu as its foundation, is controlled by twelve Quasi-Saint level Ancestral Witches, gathering the true form of Pangu.
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array is a set of innate supreme treasures, composed of five top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Once deployed, its ferocious aura surges forth, capable of slaying immortals and slaughtering gods; it cannot be broken by less than four cultivators of the same realm.
This is the foundation upon which they awe the Primordial World!
If these items are not gathered, although they are still top-tier arrays in the Primordial World, their world-destroying power cannot be unleashed.
Compared to other innate arrays, they have no advantage and are on the same level, unworthy of the name of the three great arrays of the Primordial World.
The innate Earth Element Array currently deployed by the Demonic Embryo is merely an array; while its power is formidable, it lacks a controlling element, preventing it from unleashing its full potential.
Therefore, although this array can suppress Feng Zichen, its power is insufficient to refine him to death.
"Haha, you think you can kill me? Your grand formation won't cut it!" Seeing his skin gradually petrifying, Feng Zichen remained unfazed, laughing loudly as his inner power erupted.
Rumble! Divine light burst forth, his entire body's divine apertures glowing brightly, with divine phantoms appearing high above.
Amidst chanting, these divine phantoms simultaneously formed hand seals, and strands of Dao light flew from their hands, mysterious and unpredictable, surging into Feng Zichen's body, forming a Heaven and Earth Furnace.
"Heaven and Earth Furnace, refine me!"
The Heaven and Earth Furnace began to rotate on its own as soon as it appeared, unleashing a massive suction force that suppressed and refined all the earth's essence flowing into Feng Zichen's body.
However, the earth's essence was inexhaustible, continuously flowing into Feng Zichen's body. Although the Heaven and Earth Furnace was refining it with all its might, it ultimately couldn't keep up, and much of the earth's essence escaped, continuing to damage Feng Zichen's body.
"Hmm, not working? Then let's try again!" Sensing that the Heaven and Earth Furnace was struggling to withstand the Earth's essence, Feng Zichen frowned slightly, his five elements surging forth and empowering the furnace.
Instantly, five-colored light shone brightly, the Heaven and Earth Furnace trembled violently, and the shadows of the Five Elements Sacred Beasts appeared on its body, its power increasing exponentially, and the speed at which it refined the Earth's essence suddenly accelerated.
"Hmm, it works, let's try again!" The changes in the Heaven and Earth Furnace brought Feng Zichen a slight joy, and he continued to use his divine powers to empower it.
Swoosh! The innate five elements' divine light swept out, enveloping the Heaven and Earth Furnace. Amidst the five-colored glow, a terrifying aura emanated, and the rules of heaven and earth emerged. The Earth's essence within Feng Zichen's body was completely absorbed by it.
Boom! The Myriad Manifestations Divine Thunder and the innate supreme yang divine light simultaneously unleashed, transforming into raging flames. The immense power distorted the void, fiercely burning towards the Heaven and Earth Furnace, helping it refine the Earth's essence.
With the blessing of various great supernatural powers, the furnace of heaven and earth underwent an astonishing change. An aura of refining heaven and earth rose from it, distorting the Great Dao and shattering the rules.
*Buzz, buzz, buzz!*
The Heaven and Earth Furnace trembled for a moment, breaking through the seal of the Innate Earth Element Array. It flew out from Feng Zichen's body, hovering above his head, spinning rapidly.
Instantly, a tremendous suction force emanated, distorting the surrounding void and causing it to collapse, forming a massive spatial vortex.
"Haha! Fellow Daoist, you suppressed me with your Earth Vortex; now it's an eye for an eye! Take this!" With a loud laugh, Feng Zichen rose to his feet, breaking free from the suppression of the Innate Earth Element Array.
Rumble, like a silver river descending, the surrounding earth essence surged wildly into the vortex, being absorbed and refined by the Heaven and Earth Furnace. In an instant, countless wisps of earth essence were refined.
At the same time, an earth-yellow light rose from Feng Zichen's body. The light was warm and gentle, incredibly heavy, radiating an aura that could bear all things—it was the earth essence refined by the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Suddenly receiving so much earth essence, under the impact of the Earth Element Dao, Feng Zichen, with his current strength, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
After all, his main cultivation was the Star Element Dao, not the Earth Element Dao.
A large amount of earth essence surged into his body, constantly changing his physique and transforming him into an innate Earth Element Dao Body. New innate Dao patterns were already emerging on his bones, and the aura of earth permeated the air. "Not good!" Changing one's Dao Body is tantamount to altering one's Dao Foundation. How could Feng Zichen tolerate this? His expression changed drastically as a yellow Dao Seal appeared within him, shaped like a giant mountain, towering and upright, exuding an ancient and vicissitude.
It was the Buzhou Mountain Imprint!
As the backbone of Pangu and the pillar of the primordial world, connecting heaven and earth, the earth essence contained within Buzhou Mountain was incredibly profound, arguably the most abundant in the primordial world! As soon as this seal appeared, the earth essence, as if finding its source, rushed towards it impatiently, making the Buzhou Mountain Imprint clearer, its divine power more intense, and its Dao charm more profound.
In this way, the pressure on Feng Zichen instantly disappeared, his whole body felt lighter, and the transformation of his body came to an abrupt halt.
From Feng Zichen's escape to his condensation of the Buzhou Dao Seal, and so on, the series of events, though lengthy to recount, were actually completed in the blink of an eye. "What? How did you escape!" Only then did the Demon Embryo realize what had happened, his expression changing drastically, his heart filled with shock.
However, he didn't have time to think about how Feng Zichen had escaped.
"Not good, Earth Spirit Pearl, suppress it for me!"
Vast swathes of the earth's essence were being refined by the furnace of heaven and earth, causing the Demon Embryo immense heartache. He immediately disregarded concealing his tracks, emerging from a certain void to personally preside over the Innate Earth Element Array.
Above the earth's essence, an earth-yellow cocoon of light appeared, swirling with innate Dao patterns, emanating an aura completely different from the primordial world. Above the cocoon of light, an earth-yellow pearl rose, the mysteries of the earth flowing around it, its body surrounded by soft light, illuminating the surroundings. (End of this chapter)
