Chapter – 04
Golden Immortals Are This Terrifying? I Suspect I’ve Transmigrated into a Fake Primordial World!
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Dongwanggong was not faring well either.
For the past thousand years, he had been constantly expending his magical power and was far from his peak condition. Although he had driven back the Azure Dragon, he himself had sustained some minor injuries, and his foundation had experienced a slight tremor.
The Azure Dragon could draw upon the power of water veins to restore his magical power, but he could only mobilize spiritual energy from billions of miles away to recover.
This was because all the spiritual energy within a billion-mile radius had been annihilated, and even the void itself had been shattered, requiring a certain amount of time to slowly repair.
With this ebb and flow, if they continued fighting like this, it wouldn’t take a thousand years before his magical power was completely depleted.
But he was unwilling to just give up.
He firmly believed that this was his opportunity to break through to the Taiyi realm, a chance that came once in a billion years.
Just as they were locked in a standoff, each wary of the other, Yuan Lian, who was carefully observing the outside world through the formation of Penglai Immortal Island, was utterly bewildered.
“Is this what a Golden Immortal is?”
“I suspect I’ve transmigrated into a fake Primordial World; that’s not what the books said.”
A single strike from a Golden Immortal annihilated a billion miles of void, reducing all tangible and intangible things to nothingness?
When Golden Immortal magic treasures clashed, even the laws of heaven and earth trembled, and black holes were formed?
The books said a Golden Immortal’s strike could shatter a mountain range, and a Daluo’s punch could shake the four directions!
Yuan Lian felt that if either of those two Golden Immortals outside unleashed a divine ability, they could extinguish a great thousand worlds.
“Are Golden Immortals really this strong?”
Yuan Lian clenched his right fist, feeling an urge to try it out himself.
Since he had taken form over an era ago, he had never once made a move.
Mainly, he never had the chance.
“No, I’m only at the early Golden Immortal stage, and those two brutes outside are way too ferocious. I can’t take them head-on.”
In the next instant, Yuan Lian gave up on his suicidal thoughts.
Wasn’t it better to stay alive? Why seek death?
While they were busy fighting each other, Yuan Lian withdrew the Pure World White Lotus and began to refine it.
This Primordial World was too dangerous. He urgently needed to become stronger, and the most direct way was to refine more of the Pure World White Lotus.
Although he was a spirit of light that had taken form from within the Pure World White Lotus, it only meant that his imprint was already on the innate treasure, allowing him to directly control it.
However, with his current cultivation, he had only just managed to refine one single innateē¦å¶ (prohibition/restriction) and could barely begin to unleash the treasure’s power.
The vast, profound laws contained within a top-grade innate spiritual treasure required him to refine and master them bit by bit.
And with his mere Golden Immortal cultivation, his refining speed was incredibly slow.
At present, he could only barely manipulate it, using it to reinforce his formation to withstand the Dongwanggong’s divine fire refinement, relying more on the Pure World White Lotus’s instincts and the power of the Three Lights Divine Water.
At this moment, he couldn’t even unleash one ten-thousandth of the Pure World White Lotus’s true power.
One must understand, although top-grade innate spiritual treasures are powerful, the magical power required to activate them is also terrifying.
With his early Golden Immortal stage magical power, even if others couldn’t break through the White Lotus’s defense, if an enemy unleashed force that far exceeded his defensive capabilities, the shock alone could kill him.
So, don’t think that possessing a powerful spiritual treasure means you can act recklessly and do whatever you want.
If your own strength is insufficient, no matter how strong the treasure, it’s all for naught.
Even if you held the supreme treasure of the primordial world, Pangu’s Axe, what use would it be if you didn’t even have the magical power to swing it?
Understanding this principle, Yuan Lian focused all his efforts on refining the treasure.
As a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Pure World White Lotus contained forty-eight innateē¦å¶ (prohibitions/restrictions).
So many innateē¦å¶ (prohibitions/restrictions) also signified its status, second only to innate supreme treasures.
Eachē¦å¶ (prohibition/restriction) contained infinite principles of heaven and earth, manifestations of the heavenly laws, complete and powerful.
And Yuan Lian had only just begun refining the secondē¦å¶ (prohibition/restriction).
In his mind, infinite principles manifested. As he refined it bit by bit, his Dao attainment slowly increased.
This was the change brought about by comprehending the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and clearly understanding the laws governing their operation.
Unlike magical power, improving Dao attainment was much more difficult.
But Dao attainment was the foundation, the root, the cornerstone of the path of seeking the Dao.
Once Dao attainment was reached, accumulating magical power was simply a matter of course.
However, just as Yuan Lian was focusing on refining the spiritual treasure, the Dongwanggong and the Azure Dragon, who had been locked in combat, stopped.
“Azure Dragon, out of respect for the Ancestral Dragon, I am willing to share this opportunity here with you equally. If you are unwilling, then neither of us will have it.”
The Dongwanggong’s expression was grim, the pressure of his late Golden Immortal cultivation filling the heavens.
This opportunity had originally been his, yet now he had to forcefully give away half.
No one would be happy about that.
But there was no choice. In the current situation, either he fought the Azure Dragon to the death, or he completely disrupted this place so that no one could have it.
If that was the case, it was better to share it.
When he eventually broke through to Taiyi, he would settle the score with the Dragon Clan properly.
The Azure Dragon’s eyes flickered upon hearing this, clearly considering the Dongwanggong’s proposal.
A late Golden Immortal innate deity was simply too terrifying.
Even though he himself was at the mid-Golden Immortal stage, only a hair’s breadth away from the late stage, he could only rely on his home-field advantage to contend with him.
Perhaps over the course of millions of years, he could wear him down.

But that was also predicated on the opponent stubbornly refusing to retreat.
If the Dongwanggong stopped fighting recklessly and chose to fight a guerrilla war, delaying, or simply flipped the table and spread news of the opportunity here far and wide…
Then…
“Fine, I agree to your proposal. We’ll split the opportunity here equally.” After thinking it over, the Azure Dragon finally nodded in agreement.
Half was better than nothing.
“Swear an oath on it!” The Azure Dragon raised his chin, signaling for the Dongwanggong to go first.
“Oh no, they’re going to join forces!”
Seeing this, Yuan Lian’s heart began to race wildly.
He might barely be able to handle one Dongwanggong, but if he added another equally powerful Dragon Clan expert…
The consequences would be unimaginable.
He absolutely could not let them swear an oath and join forces.
Yuan Lian hesitated no longer. His form flickered and appeared above the East Sea.
Just as the Dongwanggong and the Azure Dragon reacted, he shot two streaks of Moonlight Divine Water directly at them.
The Moonlight Divine Water bloomed with resplendent moonlight, arriving in an instant.
Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, he put away Pengxi Immortal Island, transformed into a rainbow, and fled without looking back.
In an instant, he was ten thousand miles away, heading west.
“Moonlight Divine Water!”
Both the Dongwanggong and the Azure Dragon were startled at the sight.
Moonlight Divine Water was one of the famed poisons of the Primordial World.
It could dissolve the souls of innate deities and corrode their spiritual forms. Even they dared not be careless.
The Dongwanggong pointed a finger, and his Primordial Yang Divine Fire instantly incinerated the oncoming Moonlight Divine Water.
The Azure Dragon also activated his banner treasure, using the power of the water veins to trap it, then dissolved it with his vast magical power.
“Impudent whelp! You dare steal *my* opportunity and think you can escape? Wishful thinking!”
The Dongwanggong sneered contemptuously at Yuan Lian, who had already fled a million miles, and gave chase in an instant.
The Azure Dragon likewise pushed his speed to the limit, relying on the water veins, and was not much slower than the late Golden Immortal Dongwanggong.
Yuan Lian moved swiftly, unsurprised by the pursuit of the Dongwanggong and the Azure Dragon.
Just as they were within ten thousand miles, Yuan Lian suddenly turned and charged straight at the Dongwanggong.
Golden Immortals moved at incredible speeds; ten thousand miles was but an instant, especially when they were rushing towards each other.
“Excellent! Let me send you on your way!”
The Dongwanggong reacted even faster, the Jingyang Bell materializing in his hand.
*DONG!!!*
The bell tolled, and waves of vast, lawful force rippled outwards, causing the void for a billion miles to undulate like the surface of a lake.
“Dongwanggong, return to heaven and earth!”
A flicker of ruthlessness passed through Yuan Lian’s eyes. A pure white lotus platform emerged beneath his feet.
The Pure World White Lotus radiated a brilliant light, blocking and purifying the majority of this supreme attack.
Yuan Lian unleashed his divine ability, the Pure World Spiritual Light, carrying the power to cleanse all evil and break through myriad divine powers and laws, determined to slay the Dongwanggong.
Being blockaded and burned for over a thousand years, if he said he held no hatred, it would be a lie.
Yuan Lian had been harboring this resentment for millennia.
If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t defeat the Dongwanggong, he would have come out and counterattacked long ago.
So, he put his full strength into this strike, imbuing it with his boundless killing intent, making it terrifyingly extraordinary.
“Mere parlor tricks! You dare show off in front of me? Burn!”
Seeing the brilliant divine ability hurled at him, the Dongwanggong immediately understood that his opponent was only at the early Golden Immortal stage.
Although he was somewhat surprised that someone at such a stage possessed such profound magical power, the gap in realm made him feel completely secure.
He pointed out a finger, and his Primordial Yang Divine Fire directly collided with the brilliant spiritual light.
The divine fire could burn the heavens, even igniting the void itself; its power was unmatched.
But against Yuan Lian’s Pure World Spiritual Light, it proved utterly useless.
*Swoosh!*
The Pure World Spiritual Light flashed, actually sweeping aside the divine fire and charging straight for the Dongwanggong.
“Eh?!”
For a fleeting moment, the Dongwanggong was surprised. With a thought, he summoned the Jingyang Bell to block in front of him.
*DONG!!!*
A resounding boom echoed through the clouds, and the Dongwanggong was sent flying back ten thousand miles.
Nevertheless, using the bell, he managed to block this unexpected divine ability.
Unsurprised, Yuan Lian once again marveled inwardly at the Dongwanggong’s terror as he surged forward to attack again.
But suddenly, an extreme, heart-pounding sense of danger washed over him.
