The Primordial World's Six Sages

At the very least, a top-tier Spiritual Treasure or an Innate Spiritual Root is needed as a catalyst, with the Five Elements' quality being comparable. It is crucial to avoid any single element dominating the others.

Ordinary cultivators often specialize in just one path.

Focusing on a single Origin Law can indeed save the effort of comprehending other paths, serving as a shortcut.

However, for Lu Tian, a balance of the Five Elements is the superior strategy.

With his comprehension, simultaneously grasping the Five Elements, or even Space-Time Laws, is not difficult.

The mediocre seek specialization; the accomplished seek completeness.

Can true seekers of the Dao tolerate fatal flaws in themselves?

Look at the Six Sages of the Primordial World; are any of them not versatile?

The Sages merely have their respective strengths:

Taiqing excels in alchemy, Yuqing in artifact refinement, Shangqing in swordsmanship, and Nuwa in creation.

Though my two masters appear to be mediocre, they have pushed the method of Dao Enlightenment in Dreams to its peak, secretly aligning with a new Dao, almost transcending the Mystic Gate.

Such individuals, even with their shortcomings, are not to be trifled with by ordinary people.

The strongest beings in the Primordial World have always been those who are complete and without flaws.

Lu Tian's pursuit should be no different.

Therefore, the treasure used to condense the Five Elements Qi within his chest must be chosen with extreme care. He needs to find five of the most compatible rare treasures to ensure his Five Elements Body is complete and flawless.

Unfortunately, it's too difficult...

Lu Tian sighed softly.

He knew the background of the Western Teachings like the back of his hand.

His two masters were certainly capable of producing the treasures needed to forge his Five Elements Body. Jieyin and Zhunti had traveled in the East, and with their abilities, they must have amassed many good things. However, if they were to take out these prized possessions, it would likely severely deplete their strength.

It seems he still needs to personally travel to various Blessed Lands and collect more Five Elements Spiritual Items; that is the best course of action.

Lu Tian made a silent resolution: after the Blood Sea Trial concluded, he would officially head east and step into the most magnificent world of the Primordial World!

Currently, it is the Witch-Demon Calamity, and the Primordial World has not yet shattered. It can be considered the most magnificent tribulation since the creation of the world. Thinking of this, Lu Tian could not suppress the urge to participate in this grand trend of heaven and earth, and a surge of heroic spirit rose within him.

Just then—

RUMBLE!

The entire Cave Mansion shook violently, and a thousand-mile mountain range was instantly annihilated! The Cave Mansion teetered precariously, and gravel rained down. Lu Tian casually erected a shield. If not for the protection of the formation, that strike would have likely destroyed both him and the Cave Mansion.

He frowned slightly, dispelled the formation, and looked outside.

He saw an Origin Golden Immortal standing in the air, surrounded by Divine Fire, his Immortal Light dazzling.

Hiding so deeply! If not for my extraordinary Spiritual Eyes, I would have almost let you slip by!

As the opponent sneered, he condensed another blazing sun and smashed it down with a roar!

Lu Tian remained motionless, merely glancing coldly.

SWISH!

A wisp of Blade Light appeared, instantly slicing the enemy into two halves. He teleported forward and, after absorbing the enemy's memories, finally understood the current situation.

The Four Great Tribes are besieging the Allied Forces War Zone?

Only twenty years since the war began, not too long.

This discovery made Lu Tian's eyes light up. It turned out that during his eight hundred years of seclusion, the Blood Sea Continent had undergone drastic changes. Because he had killed three thousand Golden Immortals, the number of Golden Immortals had drastically decreased, and many Taiyi Golden Immortals had emerged to search for him. Friction between various forces intensified, eventually escalating into the current situation.

His place of seclusion was not far from the war zone. Since the experts of the Four Great Tribes had found him, it meant the encirclement had shrunk to its limit, and a major battle was imminent.

With the Four Great Powers jointly hunting him and their ranks filled with experts, how could he stand idly by?

Lu Tian unhesitatingly activated his escape light and headed straight for the battlefield.

How could he miss this feast?

An excellent opportunity to devour Golden Immortals!

After this battle, perhaps his foundation could be completely perfected. How could he miss such an opportunity?

The closer he got to the battlefield, the denser the auras of powerful cultivators became.

In just a short distance, he encountered over thirty Golden Immortals blocking his path.

After killing them all, he finally reached the core of the battlefield.

As soon as he entered the war zone, an unusual atmosphere assailed him.

Within the majestic city, the cultivators of the Allied Forces had grim expressions.

It's all because of that scoundrel Xianyue, the war broke out ahead of schedule!

According to the usual pattern, the Four Great Tribes would not launch their general offensive for at least another two thousand years, but now only a few hundred years have passed!

It's all because Xianyue's sharpness was too great, forcing them into a desperate move!

Curses could be heard incessantly in the tavern.

Eighty percent of them were cursing.

If not for this person, they would have had more time to improve their strength.

Now that enemies were pressing in, even survival was a luxury.

Though the rest of the crowd remained silent, their faces were equally grim.

In all previous trials, the Allied Forces' chances of victory were already slim.

The Four Great Tribes, despite having fewer numbers, held an advantage in the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals.

This kind of strategic power was enough to sway the outcome of the battle.

The original two-thousand-year buffer period was a crucial window for breakthroughs.

According to the unwritten rules, this was supposed to be growth time for the weaker ones.

Unfortunately, everything had been disrupted.

Because of Lu Tian's terrifying potential, all the Taiyi Golden Immortals felt like they were sitting on pins and needles!

After searching for a long time without success, the Four Great Tribes launched a full-scale war, vowing to turn the world upside down.

Lu Tian withdrew his divine sense and calmly drank his wine.

He hadn't expected to be the cause of the great war.

The battle in the Star Burial Sea had shaken all directions!

Those Taiyi Golden Immortals were convinced that if he were allowed to break through, he would become invincible.

Naturally, they had to eliminate him early.

As he was pondering, he was suddenly...

He turned his head, a gentle smile curving his lips: "Captain, is that you?"

The one patting his shoulder was the old captain who had guided him in practicing his blade for ten years when he was in the Golden Immortal Squad.

In his memory, this captain had just touched the Law Threshold, but now he had mastered the Origin Law. He must have gained a lot from the desperate situation.

The old captain familiarly sat down next to Lu Tian: "You've gone from early Golden Immortal to peak in such a short time? I remember your aptitude wasn't fast, but it seems you had quite an opportunity in the desperate situation."

Lu Tian smiled and nodded: "My luck has been decent."

He secretly sized up the other person—the old captain clearly didn't know that he was the famous figure on the Crimson Continent. This was understandable; there were many in the Asura Race who looked similar to him, and the truly distinctive Moon Washing Blade had not been revealed when they were in the team.

"With your understanding of the blade path, you must be at least a Law Golden Immortal by now, right?" the old captain lowered his voice. "The Four Great Tribes have been making moves recently, and war is imminent. I've gathered over eighty skilled individuals, the weakest being Law Golden Immortals. We're planning to break out together, are you willing to join?"

Lu Tian readily agreed. He had nothing else to do, so he might as well treat it as a pastime. As for his actions on the battlefield, these people certainly wouldn't be able to restrain him.

Seeing Lu Tian nod, the old captain happily patted his shoulder. This formidable fighter who could kill peak Golden Immortals while only being in the early Golden Immortal stage back then must now be a sharp blade for breaking through.

Afterward, Lu Tian met the team: among the over eighty people, there were not a few Origin Law Golden Immortals. Such a lineup indeed had a chance to break through the encirclement in the chaotic battle.

On such a vast battlefield, annihilating the enemy completely was ultimately a fool's dream.

If it weren't for this, the legends of the weak overcoming the strong in the Blood Sea Trial, as recorded in ancient texts, wouldn't have happened repeatedly.

Everyone sat around discussing strategies for breaking out. Beneath their seemingly cautious planning lay a hidden madness. Each person harbored the ambition of a dragon breaking free from its cage. This kind of frenzied state of mind was more intriguing to Lu Tian than their tactics.

Time flew by, and eight months passed in the blink of an eye.

Besides daily tactical discussions, the group often sparred and debated.

Lu Tian consistently suppressed his strength to the level of an ordinary Law Golden Immortal, without arousing any suspicion.

He was waiting for the ultimate battle; revealing his true form now would only be a laughingstock.

Until one dawn—

Black clouds descended upon the city!

Sky-obscuring blood clouds converged from all directions, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, swallowing even the scorching sun.

The entire Crimson Continent was plunged into an eternal night-like shadow.

A terrifying pressure made the mountains and rivers tremble!

Before anyone could react, four earth-shattering auras had arrived at the city, encircling the massive city like an iron bucket.

Lu Tian received a message from the old captain and tore through space to reach the assembly point.

According to the original plan, after the battle began, they would first avoid the enemy's sharpest edge. Once the first wave of cannon fodder was wiped out, they would seize the opportunity to break through at a weak point!

Direct confrontation meant certain death; only in the chaos was there a sliver of hope.

The old captain had repeatedly emphasized this.

They were willing to risk great danger by staying in the giant city precisely to escape during the most chaotic moment of the war—

The Four Great Tribes had previously split into four armies, encircling from the continent's edge towards the center. If they tried to break out early, they would face a thunderous strike.

Only now, when the war had fully erupted, was there a chance to snatch fish from the fire.

Lu Tian hid at the back of the team, but his divine sense already encompassed all directions.

The Allied Forces of the Four Great Tribes numbered over ten thousand, all of them Golden Immortal cultivators!

The mighty immortal army arrived on clouds, together forging this sky-obscuring blood curtain.

Faced with such a formation, an ant-like sense of insignificance arose spontaneously.

As soon as the Allied Forces arrived, ten thousand immortal techniques rained down like a torrential storm!

This was their battle tactic—

To raze and sweep with absolute power, to cleanse all life with a torrent of myriad techniques!

Ten thousand immortals cast spells, stars fell and continents sank!

The deadly killing move in the sky had already taken shape, charging towards the Allied Forces' position with destructive momentum!

This offensive was extremely vicious, severing all paths to survival.

Countless people witnessed this scene, only feeling that all hope was lost.

The faces of the members of the breakout squad where Lu Tian was located changed drastically.

Trying to escape in the chaos?

That's far too naive!

The Four Great Tribes' strategy was simple and brutal—drain the entire lake, leaving no chance for a muddy-water catch.

At this moment, they had only one last hope—

With a roar, an earth-shattering power erupted from within the giant city!

A crimson gold pillar of light pierced the heavens, its scorching aura like the midday sun enveloped the entire city, and a majestic spiritual pressure swept across thousands of miles!

The Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Allied Forces tribes had finally made their move!

For the first time, Lu Tian saw the appearance of this powerful expert: a single horn on his forehead, clad in a crimson gold daoist robe, with nine flying swords circling him like shooting stars.

Facing the combined attack of ten thousand Golden Immortals, he solemnly formed a dao seal.

"Everyone, follow me to meet the enemy!"

With this fierce shout, the nine flying swords shot through the air, directly meeting the overwhelming offensive!

The awakened Golden Immortals of the Allied Forces immediately unleashed their signature skills and attacked with all their might!

Lu Tian's divine sense swept across the entire city, finding only over a thousand Golden Immortals remaining.

Those cultivators who, disbelieving their luck, had evacuated early had long since become souls under the iron hooves of the Four Great Tribes.

Lu Tian also unleashed a dao technique towards the sky.

Silence.

The clash between ten thousand Golden Immortals and a thousand Golden Immortals led by a Taiyi expert strangely produced no sound at all.

The collision of these two forces had even annihilated sound itself.

Not just sound?

In confrontations of this level, the concept of space-time itself lost its meaning!

In the end...

The Allied Forces' side actually had a slight advantage!

To be precise, that one Taiyi Golden Immortal, with his own power, had offset eighty percent of the enemy's offensive.

The gap between Taiyi and Golden Immortal was terrifyingly vast!

Even though the situation was critical, some still felt boundless admiration for that Taiyi expert.

The old captain's telepathic message exploded in Lu Tian's ear.

Instantly, all survivors began to break out frantically!

High above, the Golden Immortals of the Four Great Tribes had already divided their forces to encircle and seal the giant city, leaving no room for escape.

They all drew their weapons, their killing intent soaring to the sky.

Just as Lu Tian's doubt arose—

Three more terrifying auras, comparable to Taiyi, erupted from the horizon!

As soon as the three newly appeared powerhouses appeared, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy frantically converged towards them!

The spiritual energy in the surroundings suddenly thinned.

The Power of Origin of the Five Elements was also rapidly drawn away.

Within a hundred thousand-mile radius centered on them, a vacuum of spiritual energy and the Power of Origin of the Five Elements was actually formed!

No, it hadn't completely disappeared, but was pouring madly into their bodies.

Affected by this, the Golden Immortals could not draw external spiritual energy and the Power of Origin, and could only fight using the Immortal Power stored within their bodies!

The four Taiyi powerhouses, without needing any communication, instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

The Taiyi expert of the Allied Forces tribes showed signs of weakness as soon as the fight began.

Clearly, he was not a Taiyi Realm expert capable of fighting against multiple opponents.

"While the Taiyi are fighting, break out quickly!"

"There's a chance of survival only if we break through the encirclement!"

The old captain's roar sounded again.
