Eternal Time and Space

Chapter 4, lines 5 completed in succession, ferocious beasts occupy the mine.

Zi Chen looked at the arm calmly. He had no connection with the Azure Wood God and Demon. In the chaos, the three thousand gods and demons mostly just looked at each other from afar and had no grudges. But at this moment, he needed this source.

Thank you.

Zi Chen raised his hand, his five fingers clenching loosely, and the power of time surged from all directions, enveloping the enormous arm within it.

The wood element essence within his arm was gradually extracted, transforming into a ball of azure light, so intense it resembled a blue sun.

The original essence enters the body, and Zi Chen guides it to the liver.

The azure light settled and merged within the liver, and countless fine lines appeared on its surface, like the rings of a tree, spreading outwards in concentric circles.

The Wood element is complete.

Zi Chen opened his eyes, exhaled a breath that drifted and blew across the Thunder Marsh, causing vegetation to grow wildly and flowers to bloom in abundance within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

A thousand years later, Zi Chen had fully digested the origin of the Azure Wood God and Demon. With one step, space folded, and the distance of billions of miles became a single step. When Zi Chen reappeared, he was already standing in the starry sky.

Most of the stars are still in the process of being formed. Nebulae are churning, star cores are condensing, and countless unformed stars are floating in the void, like giant, glowing eggs. In the center of this sea of ​​stars, a huge fireball is burning fiercely, its light so intense that it illuminates the entire sea of ​​stars in a golden-red hue.

The Sun Star.

Zi Chen walked towards the Sun Star. The closer he got, the more terrifying the temperature became. The true fire of the sun surged on the surface of the star, occasionally spewing out tongues of fire millions of miles long, burning everything in its path to nothingness.

This is the true fire of the sun at the beginning of creation, the purest and most violent, capable of burning anything below the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Time flowed around Zi Chen, and the flames were frozen in time before they could even touch the hem of his clothes.

Upon entering the Sun Star, Zi Chen found himself surrounded by a surging ocean of magma and an endless storm of fire overhead. In the deepest part of this fiery world, he found a divine tree.

Hibiscus.

This divine tree is rooted in the core of the Sun Star. Its trunk is tens of thousands of feet tall and its entire body is pure gold. Its branches and leaves are like solidified lava, and every leaf is burning. Countless fire crows perch on its crown. These fire crows are spirits born from the true fire of the sun. When they see Zi Chen approaching, they all flap their wings and take off, turning into streaks of fire meteors and rushing towards him.

Zi Chen didn't even look. The Eternal Bell trembled slightly, and as the sound of the bell passed, thousands of fire crows froze in mid-air, like flames frozen in ice.

Passing through the flock of fire crows, Zi Chen arrived at the foot of the Fusang tree and placed his hand on the trunk.

The origin of the hibiscus tree is like an inexhaustible volcano, fiery, violent, and inexhaustible.

Zi Chen did not extract all the essence of the Fusang Tree. The Fusang Tree is the foundation of the Sun Star. If it were completely drained, the Heavenly Dao would surely bring down divine punishment. Zi Chen only took a portion, about 30%, which was enough for him to perfect his Fire Element.

The crimson-gold essence enters the body and merges into the heart.

Zi Chen's heart suddenly jolted, its rhythm becoming heavy and long, each beat like a molten furnace surging in the earth's core. A crimson-gold light emanated from his chest, shining through his skin and white robes, illuminating the surrounding area for miles around.

The fire element is complete.

Zi Chen withdrew his hand and glanced at the Fusang tree. This divine tree had existed since the beginning of time, witnessing the birth of the Sun Star and also witnessing its end.

Zi Chen broke off a hibiscus branch and put it in his sleeve, then turned and left.

The Moon is not far away.

In stark contrast to the Sun's violent nature, the Moon is as quiet as a block of ice, its surface covered with a thick layer of lunar soil. Its silvery-white light is as cold as water, spilling across the void and turning the surrounding nebulae into a frosty white.

At the heart of the Moon Star, a laurel tree stands quietly, its trunk towering a thousand feet high, its entire body silvery-white, its branches and leaves like condensed moonlight, each leaf emitting a faint, clear glow.

Zi Chen arrived at the laurel tree and also only took three-tenths of its original essence.

The silvery-white essence enters the body and integrates into the kidneys.

A cool sensation surged from Zi Chen's kidneys, a stark contrast to the intense heat in his heart. The hot and cold, the yin and yang, achieved a delicate balance within his body.

The water element is complete.

Zi Chen also broke off a laurel branch and put it in his sleeve.

Zi Chen stood on the Taiyin Star, looking down at the primordial land beneath his feet. The elements of fire and water were already perfected, as was the element of wood. Only the elements of metal and earth were missing. After closing his eyes and sensing for a moment, Zi Chen opened his eyes and his gaze was locked on the western part of the primordial land.

In the far west of the primordial wilderness, malevolent energy soared to the heavens.

Zi Chen took a step forward and descended upon the Western Regions.

Unlike the mountains and rivers of the east and the dense forests of the south, the Western Regions are a vast expanse of Gobi Desert and mountains. The sky hangs low, and the clouds are an ominous dark red, as if soaked in blood. The earth is crisscrossed with ravines, and malevolent energy surges from the cracks, shrouding the entire world in a thin layer of blood-red mist.

The ferocious beast clan dwells here.

As soon as Zi Chen landed, a ferocious beast rushed out from the crack in the ground.

This ferocious beast resembled a giant wolf, but had three heads. Its body was covered in jet-black scales, and it spewed dark red malevolent energy from its mouth. Sensing the presence of a living being, all three heads turned towards Zi Chen, and its six eyes flashed with a violent and ferocious light.

Zi Chen didn't even glance at the giant wolf and continued walking forward.

The giant wolf howled and pounced, but before it could even touch Zi Chen's clothes, it was frozen in mid-air by an invisible barrier of time.

Zi Chen walked past it, and after a hundred steps, the barrier of time dissipated. In an instant, the beast's body had experienced millions of years. Its scales and armor weathered away, its flesh and blood dissolved, and its bones turned into dust, drifting away with the wind.

Along the way, Zi Chen encountered more and more ferocious beasts. Some were as small as hills, some as large as mountain ranges, some were shaped like beasts, and some were like birds. The only thing they had in common was that their bodies were filled with dark red evil energy, and their eyes were filled with violence and bloodlust.

Zi Chen ignored them all. The power of time flowed around him, and any ferocious beast that approached would be instantly turned into dust.

Following his senses, Zi Chen arrived at a basin surrounded by mountains.

Within the basin, a mineral vein is exposed on the surface, its entire body crimson, resembling the scorched skeleton of a giant dragon. The malevolent energy emanating from the vein is so intense that it is almost tangible, and countless ferocious beasts roam upon it, drawing upon the metal element power within the vein.

Taiyi Divine Gold Mine Vein.

This is top-grade innate divine metal, which can only be nurtured in places where the evil energy is strongest at the beginning of the world.

The ferocious beasts in this area have taken over this mine, tempering their bodies with the energy of divine metal. This is why they have been able to thrive and grow in this Gobi Desert filled with malevolent energy, occupying a large territory.

Zi Chen stood at the edge of the basin, looking down at the densely packed ferocious beasts below. He raised his right hand and loosely clenched his fist.

My heart started pounding.

A crimson-gold flame erupted from Zi Chen's chest, transforming into a sea of ​​fire that blotted out the sky.

Bing and Ding Fire, the original form of all fire elemental power, was now activated by Zi Chen with the perfect fire elemental power, making its power even more terrifying than the flames on the sun star.
