Dijiang's words left Lin Heng speechless for a long time.
Houtu is indeed a big problem.
His cultivation level was suppressed to the Twelfth Grade Sovereign.
Furthermore, it possesses two Power of Origin, both of which it has mastered to the extreme.
Combat experience and skill level go without saying.
Most importantly, they harbor deep hostility towards me.
Lin Heng looked up at Dijiang and asked a question.
"What do you think my chances of winning against Houtu are?"
Dijiang smiled slightly and raised his hand, extending one finger.
"With your current abilities, you should have a 10% chance of success."
This answer surprised Lin Heng quite a bit.
I figured I had at least a 40% chance of winning.
Only 10%?
Doesn't that mean my battle against Houtu is a fight with a nine-out-of-ten chance of survival?
It is worth mentioning that on the way to the third level of Tianfu, Dijiang gave Lin Heng some instructions.
During the trials at the third level of Heavenly Estate, Lin Heng was not allowed to use the Eternal Ages.
This was not only a reminder from Dijiang, but also a rule set by Mu Chen back then.
After all, the guardian's cultivation level was restricted.
Lin Heng unleashed the Eternal Ages, which Xuanming and the others were naturally unable to resist.
Even with the same level of cultivation, relying solely on one's own strength...
There is still a significant gap between Lin Heng and the Guardians.
However, upon hearing Dijiang's words, Lin Heng smiled confidently.
"I believe Houtu should have a 10% chance of winning."
Lin Heng's words piqued Dijiang's curiosity.
"Oh?"
What do you mean?
Dijiang was eager to know where Lin Heng's confidence came from.
Lin Heng simply flipped his hand, and a ball of multicolored light appeared in his palm.
This is a cluster of light formed by the condensation of the Power of Origin.
Dijiang simply smiled and remained silent.
He was of course aware that Lin Heng possessed the Power of Origin.
However, Lin Heng is still unable to fully integrate and utilize the Power of Origin.
In this way, Lin Heng's advantage in the Power of Origin is only slightly stronger than that of the Eight Great Saint Emperors.
Based on this alone, Dijiang did not believe it could be an advantage in defeating Houtu.
But in the next second, the eight Power of Origin in Lin Heng's palm began to change.
The eight fundamental elements began to interact, intertwine, and rise together.
There is also a subtle trend of fusion and mutation.
This caused the energy in Lin Heng's hands to increase exponentially.
It's just that it's clear Lin Heng isn't yet very proficient at this.
Even so, it still caught Dijiang's eye.
He finally understood what Lin Heng was relying on.
After seeing Dijiang nod with a smile, Lin Heng withdrew his eight Power of Origin.
'call!'
Lin Heng let out a long sigh of relief; the exertion he had just used had taken a huge toll on his Divine Power.
After all, this was only thought of after the previous three major battles, and it was a last-minute measure.
If Lin Heng were given some time and could use it flexibly, things would naturally not be like this again.
Dijiang also sighed at this moment.
"What a crazy guy."
Even our former master never did anything like you.
After his initial astonishment, Dijiang took a deep breath and continued:
There is no time limit for entering the fourth level.
"I have a time-traveling artifact here; you can go inside it to cultivate."
"Now I'm starting to look forward to it."
"What kind of power will this move have after you complete it?"
Then Dijiang took out his time-manipulating artifact.
This is also a magical artifact with a time flow rate a billion times faster.
After entering the Time Treasure, Lin Heng did not take immediate action.
Instead, he sat cross-legged on a vast grassland, calming his mind first.
While meditating and calming his mind, Lin Heng also mentally simulated the application of the move he had just used.
To put it simply, it's about fusing eight Power of Origin.
The eight fundamental elements alone are already an extremely terrifying source of energy.
Combining them together would naturally make it even more terrifying.
However, Power of Origin possesses its own unique attributes.
Trying to integrate them together is easier said than done.
Lin Heng had only been testing the waters in front of Dijiang before.
This had already pushed his Divine Power to its limit.
You should know--
Integrating the eight fundamental elements requires extremely high levels of Divine Power.
Because you need to completely cover your Divine Power with the eight Power of Origin.
And during the fusion process, it is necessary to observe every part of the original energy.
Even the slightest mistake could lead to fusion failure.
The price of failure is the backlash from the Power of Origin.
If this happens, at best, one's Divine Power will be damaged, one's cultivation level will decline, and one will be unable to advance any further in their lifetime.
In severe cases, it's not impossible for them to be killed on the spot by the backlash of the Power of Origin.
This is why Lin Heng entered the Time Treasure.
The first thing to do is to calm your mind and recover your depleted Divine Power.
This time, Lin Heng sat on the grass for three whole days and three nights during his meditation.
He only got up when he felt that his mental state had reached its peak.
After Lin Heng took action, Dijiang, who was hiding in the void, also opened his eyes.
"Are we about to begin?"
Dijiang's words carried a hint of anticipation.
Even he didn't know if Lin Heng would succeed.
However, starting three days ago, Lin Heng's display in the palace hall...
Dijiang also strongly supports the supernatural Power of Origin.
It remained hidden in the void, unknown to Lin Heng.
This was also a layer of insurance that Dijiang provided for Lin Heng.
If Lin Heng were to encounter any unexpected events while researching this move...
Dijiang couldn't care less about anything else and immediately stepped in to help.
Following Dijiang's gaze.
On the grass, around Lin Heng's body, the Power of Origin slowly emerged.
Lin Heng's Divine Power covered the eight Power of Origin.
But he didn't rush into the fusion.
He used his Divine Power to constantly sense and explore the state of the eight Power of Origin.
At this moment, under Lin Heng's Divine Power, the eight fundamental sources were like eight mischievous children.
Lin Heng's task was to discipline these eight mischievous children.
He let the eight Power of Origin surround him and swirl around him for several hours.
Lin Heng finally began the fusion of the origins.
Under Lin Heng's Divine Power control, the eight fundamental elements gradually collided together.
But even a mere touch was enough to elicit a fierce resistance.
Water and fire, being fundamental elements, were at odds with each other, and a single friction nearly caused them to go berserk.
The Origin of Heaven Yang and Earth Yin Origin both yearn to devour each other.
Various fundamental elements interact and counteract each other; while they can complement each other, they are difficult to integrate and regulate.
Lin Heng had to halt his next move after only the first attempt.
I sensed that the eight fundamental sources had almost gone berserk and out of control just now.
Lin Heng shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that successfully integrating the eight fundamental elements is..."
"It's not something that can be succeeded in one or two tries."
As he spoke, an idea suddenly popped into Lin Heng's mind.
"Simultaneously integrating all eight fundamental elements is indeed very difficult."
"But what if we simply fuse the two Power of Origin?"
