Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 892 549: Imperial Might_2

Earth Immortal Treasure, a Tenth Order Heavy Weapon, a relic of the Great Emperor Tianyu!

Several months ago, that Emperor Tianyu had precisely relied on this treasure to strike from tens of thousands of miles away, destroying his Innate Five Elements Great Formation, then pursued with this bell without pause for three months, soaring through the heavens and delving into the earth, traversing a hundred million miles, only to be thrown off by his Five Elements Great Escape.

In the course of their several encounters, the might of the Imperial Arms and the capability of the Heavy Weapon, although not enough to annihilate him, had inflicted exceedingly severe damage on him, pushing this Solar Avatar to the brink of disintegration.

This was even with the protection of the "Five Elements Immortal Venerable"!

The Five Elements Immortal Venerable and Nine Rituals Heavenly Venerate are currently the only two True Immortal Mechs of the Wandao School, each with different focuses; the Nine Rituals Heavenly Venerate being a Holy Divine Weapon, capable of invoking the power of Heaven, Earth, and the human heart with the Nine Rituals and the Three Talents, its offensive capabilities are extremely formidable.

Whereas the Five Elements Celestial Venerable centers around the Innate Five Directions Banner, with the principles of the Five Elements, harmonizing and opposing Yin and Yang, reversing chaos, returning Qi to its origin, excelling most in defense, unleashing the "Impervious to All Methods" capability of the Innate Five Directions Banner to its fullest.

Yet even such a Five Elements Immortal Venerable could only take one hit from Emperor Tianyu's bell, striking from tens of thousands of miles away, before being shattered.

This demonstrates the formidable power of this Imperial Arms, a Tenth Order Immortal Treasure!

Xu Yang had previously faced a Tenth Order Immortal Treasure head-on, in the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm within the Earth Immortal Realm. The Godslayer Spear of the Nine Nether Demon Lord belonged to this category, except it was greatly damaged and corroded, nearly decaying, truly capable of displaying only the might of a Ninth Order Immortal Treasure.

Even so, that Nine Nether Demon Lord, with this spear, managed to pierce through his Innate Five Elements Great Formation in one strike.

This displays the might of a Heavy Weapon!

That was the Nine Nether Demon Lord with the Godslayer Spear, an Immortal Treasure in decay, its power greatly diminished, lacking any bloodline connection, Emperor's Scripture, or full potential of the Heavy Weapon, hence it could only pierce the formation, not destroy it.

Emperor Tianyu and the Tianyu Bell were different, they let Xu Yang truly experience the true might of the Imperial Arms, displaying the actual strength of an absolute True Immortal.

Half-step Emperor, indeed does not hold the name in vain!

This battle also gave Xu Yang a clear understanding and insight into the "Imperial Arms Heavy Weapons" passed down in the Central Region Divine Land.

The Imperial Arms Heavy Weapons circulated in Divine Land and the Earth Immortal Treasures in the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm, although both ranking as Tenth Order, had some subtle differences.

The Earth Immortal Treasures of the Heaven Reaching Secret Realm, apart from a small portion that self-evolved into "Innate Spiritual Treasures," most were the results of man-made artifact refining.

A Tenth Order Artifact Refining Immortal Master creating a Tenth Order Immortal Treasure, this is perfectly rational without any question.

But the issue is, did those ancient emperors from the history of the Central Region Divine Land all happen to be Tenth Order Artifact Refining Immortal Masters, capable of crafting Imperial Arms Heavy Weapons?

Obviously, that's impossible!

The state of Tenth Order Dao of Tools, even for the ancient emperors, is not claimed to be achievable just by talking about it; it's one thing for the occasional individual to accomplish this, but the possibility of every one of them being a Tenth Order Artifact Refining Immortal Master?

If each and every one of them was a Tenth Order Artifact Refining Immortal Master, how could the Imperial Arms Heavy Weapons possibly have only one piece handed down per era? At the very least, there should also be two or three pieces, or even four or five pieces handed down.

In fact, among the ancient emperors in the history of Divine Land, the vast majority were not Artifact Refining Immortal Masters, and some did not even engage in the Path of Artifact Refining, possessing only a single Imperial Arms Heavy Weapon.

Not mastering the Dao of Tools, how could they refine Imperial Arms?

Xu Yang was also quite puzzled about this until he case Soul Search on people such as King Ling Hui, which suddenly clarified things for him.

This was the authority of the ancient emperors!

The ancient emperors, that is to say, Earth Immortals, one Earth Immortal per territory.

Such existences already possessed the capability to carve out "Cave Heaven Blessed Lands" outside of the Tao World.

If the worlds opened by the Golden Immortal Ancestors are complete Tao Worlds with perfect Heavenly Dao and Law, then the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands created by Earth Immortals are smaller Tao Worlds with various reductions, incomplete Heavenly Dao, and Law.

Such small worlds cannot exist entirely independent from the great world, nor do they have the ability to inhale the chaotic forces and transform the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit; they must rely on the great world to exist.

Even so, it is still a world that contains the force of "Dao" and "Principle".

Great Emperors of ancient times in the Divine Land had utilized such authority, refining treasures with the power of the Earth Immortal's minor world, and ultimately crafting Imperial Arms of great importance.

From the perspective of an Artifact Refiner like Xu Yang, this was a unique Mana Point that relied on postnatal power to create innate objects.

An Imperial Arms, akin to the Fruit of Earth Immortal, was the blood, sweat, and tears achievement of an ancient Great Emperor. It took tens of thousands, or even millions of years to crystallize.

This was markedly different from the Earth Immortal Treasures that Artifact Refining Immortal Masters forged, which could be distinguished as "postnatal versus innate."

Ordinary Earth Immortal Treasures were postnatal objects.

Imperial Arms of a Great Emperor were innate treasures.

Though they were the innate treasures of a minor world, innate treasures were innate treasures, with might far superior to postnatal objects. They were also the Taoist Result achievements of ancient Great Emperors, intricately connected to them in inseparable ways.

Thus, the imperial clans of the ancient dynasties in the Divine Land could wield these weighty Imperial Arms with Great Emperor bloodlines and Emperor Scripture, exerting the formidable force of a "Half-step Emperor," far surpassing the power of other True Immortals.

But due to the uniqueness of these Imperial Arms, the Great Emperors of Divine Land history could only refine one such weapon in their lifetimes, their "life-bound" object – unreplicable and singular.

Hence, the ancient imperial clans of the Central Region each only possessed one Imperial Arms. Sects like the Great Profound Sect and Ahan Temple, as well as the Grand Academy with

their substantial potentiality, likely had no more than three Heavy Weapons.

Postnatal treasures and innate tools each have their pros and cons.

In Xu Yang's view, spending one's own Taoist Result and hundreds to thousands of years in devoted crafting of a single weapon was utterly uneconomical, even for Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Ever since he grasped the profound use of Tusita True Fire within the "Tusita Divine Edict," his Artifact Refining efficiency dramatically increased. Crafting a top-quality Immortal Artifact took at most a couple of decades, and with smooth progress, potentially just a few years.

Though an Eighth Order top-quality Immortal Artifact could not be compared to a Tenth Order Innate Spiritual Treasure, the decades, or at most hundreds to thousands of years it took to craft the former, were incomparable to the latter.

Whether from the standpoint of an Artificer or with the vision of the "Master of Ten Thousand Paths," the crafting of Imperial Arms was an endeavor with a very low cost-effectiveness ratio.

Yet, their lack of cost-effectiveness did not detract from their power.

As Tenth Order objects, the might of these Imperial Arms was far beyond that of the Nine Nether Demon Lord's counterfeit Godslayer Spear, or else it wouldn't have been able to dispel his Innate Five Elements Formation with a single strike.

He should know that he was no longer the same as before.

Having succumbed to a thousand years of arduous cultivation within the Heavenly Secret Realm, and through his insights gathered from observing treasures like the Innate Five Directions Banner, he had further advanced in the Yin and Yang Dao, The Five Elements Law, and Artifact Formation Divine Power.

Now, his Five Elements Formation reached the level of an Eighth Order Termination Array. If that Nine Nether Demon Lord were to come forward again, he would find no one-shot breakthrough; it would surely take much effort, with the Godslayer Spear, to puncture through it.

These were the fruits of his painstaking cultivation over countless eons within the Heavenly Secret Realm.

Yet such accomplishments held up only to a single blow against the Tianyu Imperial Arms!

After that single strike, the formation crumbled, and if not for the exceptional defensive power of the Five Elements Immortal Venerable, he would likely have been reduced to ash under the Tianyu Bell.

Such was the terror of a Great Emperor's might!

Imperial Arms, true specimens of the ultimate True Immortal, though only considered a Half-step Emperor—but to other True Immortals, they were undeniably oppressive in power.

Xu Yang even doubted whether he, even if he refined Xuanyuan and set up the Reverse Nine Rites Great Formation, could withstand such a mighty foe.

And yet, this Central Region Divine Land was teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. One doesn't speak of thousands of Imperial Arms, but dozens or nearly a hundred still posed a massive threat to him.

It made Xu Yang all the more glad he hadn't blindly established a Tao Lineage and created a "Ten Thousand Dao Palace" outright; otherwise, he likely would have learned a very painful lesson.

Even if it was just his Solar Avatar that perished and not his life at stake, losing the Five Elements Immortal Venerable at most, as a Taoist Master, he had to be responsible for those under his command, avoiding unnecessary sacrifices.

Therefore, the issue of the Divine Land required careful strategizing.
