Galactic Hegemony

Lan Mu's first casual, direct use of a Root Algorithm had been an enormously broad judgment.

The Five Elements—its scope was already immense.

The moment he had directly swept away the Void Matter colossus, he knew that the Five Elements encompassed far more than he had imagined.

By comparison, Inverse Light's damage amplification and reduction were hardly worth mentioning. No matter how powerful Inverse Light's spells became, he remained within the Five Elements.

But once it became root-based, it could become absurdly powerful.

And in Lan Mu's eyes, Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light was an Innate Divine Ability of a root-based nature.

Because he remembered an extremely crucial feat from the original setting.

Kong Xuan had once swept away Zhunti Daoren. Though afterward, the gap in their magical power and cultivation realms had been too great, and Zhunti Daoren had counterattacked and subdued him.

More interestingly, this Saint possessed a Dao-attaining spiritual treasure, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. It too was said to sweep away anything, and had
