307: Chapter 307 Are these all illusions?

The other one seemed to be an Incarnation of lightning energy, possessing astonishing speed; it could roam freely even within the clouds of thunder dragons that gathered above the Thunder-Earth Mountain Range.

However, they had originally observed from the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm that this place was a treasure trove of suitable Law resources, but upon entering, they discovered that this area exhibited a Law phenomenon where thunder and earth were combined.

Even if one were merely absorbing thunder Dao energy within the thunder dragon clouds, once a certain level was reached, one would be pushed out of the clouds and forced to contend with the earth Qi of the mountain range. The Law energy originally absorbed into the body would, in the process of resistance, uncontrollably combine into thunder-earth Law.

The two thunder and earth wyverns that had been attracted here were searching the surrounding area for the possibility of cultivating to a higher level.

And that pure eruption of earth Qi immediately caught the attention of the two wyverns.

The Thunder-Evil Wyvern and the Obsidian Wyvern flew together toward the valley floor where the Laws were stable.

As soon as the two wyverns, over a dozen meters long, landed near the deep pit Wang An and his companions had dug, they immediately discovered traces of other powerful beings having been there.

"It seems some powerful beings arrived here earlier than us."

The wyvern approached the deepest pit, and a bolt of black lightning flew from the Thunder-Evil Wyvern's body, splitting open the array domain used for concealment.

Just as the two of them were about to enter and explore, dozens of thunder dragons from the thunder clouds charged toward them. Even they did not want to contend with the thunder Dao Law carried by those dragons.

"Damn it, how did this happen?"

Just after the array domain was broken, Wang An and Iret Su En immediately knew that other external Second-Stage powerful beings had destroyed the array domain hiding the entrance from the outside.

Walking to a nodal point where earth Qi had gathered and condensed into a lake, Wang An paused his steps.

Lu Tianxin, walking behind him, was puzzled.

Only then did Wang An send a message: "We need to hurry; two uninvited guests have arrived outside."

Lu Tianxin gave a soft "Mn" and scanned the earth Qi lake again, saying with some disappointment: "It's like this again; there's no path, Master. Do we have to go back and continue looking for other passages?"

Wang An thought for a moment, then used his magic power to scoop up some Second-Stage transcendent crystals growing from the passage walls and cast them into the lake of earth Qi energy that had turned into liquid.

He saw the Second-Stage crystals quickly sink into the earth Qi lake, with no shadow of the crystals' remaining forms beneath the lake's surface; they seemed to have been completely dissolved and transformed.

"Mn, I should have thought of this earlier. The real entrance to the passage is at the bottom of the earth Qi lake."

Hearing Wang An say this, Lu Tianxin's thoughts stirred.

"Master, are you saying? Are these all illusions?"

"No, these are indeed liquid earth Qi energy condensed from earth Qi."

"But what is below is not necessarily the same, or rather, this is the environment as it naturally is."

Speaking of this, Wang An moved close to the earth Qi lake and withdrew the Heavenly Curtain from one hand, but it was then wrapped in a pitch-black color.

That was the black light of the Heavenly Fire Divine Ability, Dongming Lamp Illumination, which devours and transforms energy. Lu Tianxin watched in astonishment as that hand parted the yellow earth Qi liquid, revealing the unfathomably deep space beneath.

But that was not ordinary space; it was a space of Earth-element Law energy.

Wang An immediately withdrew his hand and covered it with the Heavenly Curtain again.

At this moment, the palm had completely transformed into a hand of energy crystals resembling pure Earth-element Law.

He looked at it again; even with the palm covered by the Heavenly Curtain, the highly corrosive earth Qi energy seemed to be spreading to his entire body.

Without further hesitation, Wang An swung a blade with his other arm and severed the earth-transformed palm.

He did not study it further but stored it away in his spatial equipment.

Soon, at the site of the severed palm, surging purple-gold magic power immediately restored it to its original state.

Once a Cultivator reaches the Purple Mansion stage, they become a semi-energy lifeform, and after passing the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion, they become a complete energy lifeform. Regenerating severed limbs and regenerating from a drop of blood are almost innate Divine Ability capabilities.

Not to mention that he already possessed Golden Nature and was evolving toward becoming a Law lifeform.

Wang An thought for a moment, communicated with Lu Tianxin, withdrew his consciousness from this Puppet, and then stored the Puppet's body in his spatial equipment.

A small Six Laws Heavenly River circled the surface of his body, manifesting the aura of the six Laws: Water, Stars, Change, Life, Death, and Purification. The river of earth Qi energy, which had been flowing quietly, immediately erupted, with almost all of it surging toward Wang An.

With the Purple Mansion Divine Ability Return-to-One Heavenly River merging with the Six Laws Heavenly River, Wang An's control over this branch of the Golden Nature Magic Treasure reached a level of near-complete freedom.

At this moment, the Six Laws Heavenly River completely enveloped his body, and a light of purity slightly bloomed. The massive amount of earth-element energy gathering toward him was decomposed into more pure and basic earth-Qi energy the moment it touched the light of purity. Its offensive capability was greatly reduced, and it would then be re-swallowed by other earth Qi energy.

In this way, decomposing and then being re-swallowed, these flowing currents of earth Qi energy were completely unable to approach the Six Laws Heavenly River.

Seeing that by merely activating a bit of the Purification Law's authority, these rule-based energies, which were originally capable of turning all things into earth elements, could not harm him in the slightest, Wang An was satisfied.

Subsequently, he activated the authority of the Star Law within it. The next moment, the faint stars floating within the Six Laws Heavenly River leaped out from the surface of the river, transforming into twelve stars ranging from as small as a grain of rice to as large as a mountain.

The starlight bloomed, and countless surging earth Qi were attracted by the twelve stars, dragged into the gravitational cores of the stars to evolve into matter.

With this Golden Nature treasure, Wang An's confidence in exploring the deeper layers increased a bit more.

After checking to ensure there were no omissions, and waiting until the earth Qi here had been absorbed by the twelve stars to the point of becoming thin, the stars reluctantly returned to his side. Only then did he dive headfirst into the earth Qi lake.

The liquid earth Qi was stirred, and soon a safe passage for him to inhabit was opened.

As soon as Wang An entered the earth Qi lake, he felt tremendous pressure and Law erosion besieging him, but fortunately, with the Golden Nature Magic Treasure, these were of no consequence.

He even drove the Six Laws Heavenly River to actively carry him downward.

The lake node they reached was extremely deep; it wasn't until they had descended for an hour, estimated to be ten thousand meters deep, that he sensed the bottom of the lake.

Don't look at the depth of their progress; it was not yet as deep as the ocean floor of some ordinary material planets.

One must know that these were fully transformed transcendent mountain ranges; every bit of energy and every speck of matter would be as heavy as a mountain if placed in an ordinary material world.

The pressure of their descent alone was no less than traveling to the core of a planet, not to mention the interference from countless transcendent Law erosions.

Upon reaching the very bottom, Wang An probed the strength of the surrounding earth and stone, but a wisp of his consciousness submerged into it like a clay ox into the sea.

Even with the twelve stars approaching and using the Star Law to pry into the material Laws within the Earth element, constructing the star authority to grind and absorb them, he could only slowly scrape off some debris resembling material particles.
