Is the Foundation Establishment Realm This Powerful Nowadays?

Fusion Power. Ling Tianwei closed his eyes and carefully sensed the aura of this disorderly force within the Taixu Forbidden Land.

The Ling Tianwei of today was no longer the one who had first begun cultivating in the Lingxu Sacred Land. Even back then, he had been able to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it collide and undergo fission to produce immense energy—let alone now!

Yet Ling Tianwei clearly understood the difference between fusion and fission.

To achieve fusion, he had to resolve the repulsive force between spiritual energies, allowing them to combine and become a more powerful form of energy.

This transformation would produce nearly limitless energy.

In his former world, fusion had only been at the experimental stage. At most, it could be triggered, but it still could not be fully controlled. However, from the moment Ling Tianwei had learned of fusion, he had already found a few answers.

And now, he intended to apply it in this Cultivation World—and within this very body.

As for how to accomplish it? He had to establish a system within his body capable of overcoming that repulsive force.

In the modern world, that had been temperature—hundreds of millions of degrees of heat, used to weaken the repulsion between atoms.

But now, Ling Tianwei had seen another possibility. This was the Cultivation World, after all; the manifestation of power here was entirely different.

Ling Tianwei had complete confidence that he could construct an environment capable of sustaining fusion.

"Come! Immortal Qi!"

He sensed the disorderly energy within the Taixu Forbidden Land. It was far more terrifying than the spiritual energy outside.

Yet precisely because it was stronger, Ling Tianwei could sense that these forces differed from the spiritual energy outside—not merely in their arrangement, but in how incredibly close the two powers were to one another.

The closer they were, the greater the chance that they could merge and gather together. It was precisely because they were so close that their might was so much greater.

That was why Ling Tianwei believed this to be Immortal Qi.

"Looks like heaven and earth acknowledge the definition I gave this spiritual energy. Otherwise, why would the power shrouding the Taixu Forbidden Land fit so perfectly with the Qi Drawing Method I need to alter now?"

"It can't be that when I was in the Lingxu Sacred Land, I sighed that if the Taixu Forbidden Land contained power more suitable for fusion, it would simply appear here."

"No way, right? No way?"

Ling Tianwei thought to himself, but his movements were not slow in the slightest.

Having already gained a basic understanding of this power, he began the fusion process.

A vortex began to whirl above Ling Tianwei's head, while a surging power continuously pulsed outward.

The disorderly waves of power spread out. No one noticed that, as Ling Tianwei continuously guided this disorderly force into fusion—

Deep within the Taixu Forbidden Land, something seemed to sense this sudden upheaval.

It slowly awakened, and with it, the Immortal Souls within the Taixu Forbidden Land began to stir restlessly, roaming madly throughout the entire forbidden land.

"Who is it? Who is it?"

A muttering voice rang through heaven and earth, yet because the Taixu Forbidden Land was simply too vast, it only echoed through one region.

If anyone had looked, they would have discovered a faint cold gleam emerging above the Taixu Forbidden Land. A colossal body formed of layer upon layer of scales coiled across the sky, its length unknown. The moment it appeared, purple lightning curled around it on all sides.

Its imposing eyes were cold as lightning, its head like a camel's, its horns like a deer's...

When it revealed its form, it was astonishingly a Five-Clawed Azure Dragon.

Very quickly, the phenomenon vanished. The dragon's body disappeared, leaving only a small, semi-transparent Spiritual Dragon floating in midair.

"I remember now. That bastard told me to guard this place, wait for the fated one to awaken me, then have him inherit that bastard's legacy."

"Damn it, how hateful. I don't even know how long he tricked me into sleeping."

"And he still wants someone to inherit his legacy? Dream on!"

"No, something's wrong. This isn't when I was supposed to awaken. Wasn't it supposed to be tens of thousands of years from now? Why did things suddenly change?"

The semi-transparent Spiritual Dragon seemed to have lost its mind as it muttered to itself in midair.

"Could something have happened for me to wake up early?"

Just as the Spiritual Dragon was thinking, it seemed to sense something. It could not help but raise its head and look toward the distant reaches of the Taixu Forbidden Land.

```

The Three-Leaf Round Fan spun above his brow, radiating a faintly holy, pure aura. Yet deep within it, an utterly vile, evil presence was also beginning to emerge.

At this moment, Ling Tianwei had truly achieved Saint Demon Fusion.

"Gather."

Ling Tianwei called out softly.

The inverted force continued to intensify, and the vortex expanded once more.

Rumble...

If there were someone with absolute control over the entire Taixu Forbidden Land, they would have noticed that the already chaotic forces of heaven and earth had become even more disorderly. A unique evaporation phenomenon had even begun to appear.

In a frenzied state, their fervent activity had increased by severalfold.

Within this strange state, something seemed to be gestating, exuding an extreme chill and deathly stillness that even instinctively inspired fear.

At that moment, after sensing the abnormal changes in the Taixu Forbidden Land, the Spiritual Dragon immediately rushed toward their source.

When it arrived, it raised its head and stared at the scene before it in utter shock.

It truly could not describe everything it saw.

The disorderly masses of energy had taken on a mist-like form, spreading throughout heaven and earth. Below them, a figure sat upright.

An evil power so intense it reached the extreme surged forth, accompanied by a faint holy intent. This contradictory individual stirred the disorderly power compressed within the Taixu Forbidden Land.

And all that person did was stir everything in a bizarre manner.

Most terrifying of all, the Spiritual Dragon discovered that the person below was strange. He was clearly only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet a Golden Core was manifested behind him, and five kinds of Dao intent coiled around his entire body.

Every one of these methods spoke of his terror.

Yet the strangest thing was that, before the Spiritual Dragon's eyes, this person's aptitude was abysmally poor.

Not only did he possess a Pseudo-Spirit Root, even his constitution was one abandoned by heaven.

Under normal circumstances, forget cultivating immortality—even sensing spiritual energy would have been impossible for him.

Yet he had somehow reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, and was even accomplishing things that the prodigies of the Spiritual Dragon's era had been unable to achieve.

Most importantly, the abnormal changes in the Taixu Forbidden Land seemed to have originated from him.

The Spiritual Dragon looked at the disorderly power above, which had already turned into clouds and mist and was now gathering together.

Because it held control over the Taixu Forbidden Land, the Spiritual Dragon could sense that this was why it had awakened.

As for the reason? The Taixu Forbidden Land was telling it that it was about to be completely finished, and calling it over to stop this.

"What's going on? Has the era changed? Are Foundation Establishment cultivators this badass now?"

At the sight, the Spiritual Dragon was so shocked that it no longer retained even a shred of divine dragon dignity.
