I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 751 Fifty Years

Cultivating immortality knows no time.

In the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed since Xia Daoming entered the fragments of the Primordial World.

Over the past fifty years, he has collected and consumed a large number of ancient spiritual plants and fruits, and hunted hundreds of ancient remnants.

Two of them were even ancient remnants whose combat power was approaching that of a Golden Immortal in the True Immortal Realm.

During these fifty years, he also experienced many dangers.

There are natural disasters in the primordial world.

These natural disasters are all accompanied by primordial and chaotic energy torrents from the prehistoric world. Even with Xia Daoming's cultivation level, if he were swept into them, he would feel insignificant and unable to contend with the power of nature.

However, the greater danger comes from the remnants of the primordial era.

Because in this primordial world, there still exists a primordial remnant species at the level of a Golden Immortal of the Myriad Laws Realm.

The Realm of Myriad Laws is the fourth of the five realms of Golden Immortals.

Above that is the Return to Origin Realm.

The Returning to Origin Realm has begun to return to its original state, and can be called a half-step Grand Luo Immortal Venerable. The ancient divine beast ancestors such as the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger were at the half-step Grand Luo Immortal Venerable level.

The Myriad Laws Realm is only one realm lower than the Return to Origin Realm, so one can imagine how terrifying a primordial remnant species of this level is.

It can be said that any Golden Immortal at the Myriad Laws Realm could stomp their foot and make the entire Chijiang Prefecture tremble.

Xia Daoming once accidentally stumbled into the territory of a primordial remnant of this level. If he hadn't spared no effort to expend his Purple Mansion Qi and Fire Phoenix Tree for help, he probably would have remained on this primordial land forever.

On another occasion, when Xia Daoming was fighting fiercely with a Primordial Descendant at the True Transformation Realm level, he alerted a Primordial Descendant at the Myriad Laws Realm level, which immediately killed Xia Daoming's opponent.

Fortunately, Xia Daoming reacted quickly and made a run for it, thus escaping unscathed.

Besides the three powerful and terrifying Primordial Remnant species at the Myriad Laws Realm level, which Xia Daoming dared not provoke, dozens of Primordial Remnant species at the True Transformation Realm level also inhabit this Primordial Land.

They each have their own territory, and although they belong to the same level, their strength varies.

At first, Xia Daoming didn't dare to provoke him.

However, as he continued to fight and hone his skills in the fragmented world of the Primordial World, consumed a large number of Primordial Spirit Plants and Fruits, and hunted dozens of Primordial Remnant Species, his strength grew stronger and stronger. As a result, Xia Daoming began to go to the territory of Primordial Remnant Species at the True Transformation Realm level every few days to engage in life-or-death battles with them.

Direct confrontation of physical strength, life-or-death struggle, is the best way for body cultivators to hone their skills and cultivate their abilities.

Initially, without using the Purple Qi of the Purple Mansion and the Fire Phoenix Tree, Xia Daoming could only be defeated and forced to flee.

But gradually, he began to be able to fight on equal terms with some of the weaker Primordial Remnant species at the True Transformation Realm level.

Later on, although he still couldn't kill those ancient species at the True Transformation Realm level, he was able to make them flee in disarray.

However, among them were seven of the most powerful primordial species at the True Transformation Realm level, which Xia Daoming challenged for several years but could never defeat.
-
On this day, Xia Daoming stood in a desolate place.

The mountains here are low-lying, and the rock strata are dark purple, as if they have been melted and cooled countless times at high temperatures. The surface is covered with spider web-like cracks.

An unsettling atmosphere of anxiety filled the air, yet not a single spark could be seen.

It was as if flames had once burned everything here, only to be forcibly erased by heaven and earth.

Before him stood the Ember Core Ancestral Lizard, one of the seven most powerful Primordial Remnant Species at the True Transformation Realm level.

To be precise, it should be the last of the seven.

The Ember Ancestral Lizard resembles a giant lizard, but it has no scales. Its entire body is a dark, iron-reddish-brown, and its back is covered with barbed bone blades, like a ferocious weapon forged by heaven and earth.

The strangest thing is that it has no eyes.

At the very center of the skull was a single, slowly rotating, dark red crystal core, radiating a chilling heat.

This was Xia Daoming's tenth battle with it; the previous nine times, he had been unable to defeat it. Boom!
The bone blade swept across.

The space then collapsed slightly, as if it had been softened by high temperature and then forcibly torn apart.

Xia Daoming raised his arm to block, and the patterns on his Ancestral Dragon Body suddenly lit up, but he was still shaken back dozens of feet, and a dull, burning pain came from his arm bone.

"Such a heavy fire element..."

This is the weight of fire compressed to its extreme.

The two fought for several hours.

The ground was repeatedly plowed open, and a dark red luster faintly peeked out from beneath the cracks, as if the entire earth was being baked.

Xia Daoming approached several times, slamming his fists into the opponent's body, only to find that the opponent's flesh was like divine iron that had been forged a million times, and he could not truly break through his defenses.

Finally, Xia Daoming delivered a punch and withdrew.

The Ember Core Ancestral Lizard did not pursue, but simply stood in place, its crystal core spinning and emitting a deep and ancient fluctuation.

Although the primordial remnants are limited by the laws of the primordial world and cannot develop intelligence, they still know how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune based on their intuition.

In ancient times, powerful beings tamed the ancient creatures and used them to guard mountain gates, pull chariots, and serve as mounts.

Xia Daoming is an old rival of the Ember Core Ancestral Lizard!

After each battle, it felt exhausted, its body weak and aching, as if it had fallen apart.

Moreover, its intuition told it that its old rival still had some formidable tricks up its sleeve!
In this situation, how could it dare to pursue the enemy out of its own territory?
-
Xia Daoming stood alone on a broken mountain ridge, overlooking the territory of the Ember Core Ancestral Lizard.

The wind blows from the depths of the primordial land, carrying with it scorching heat and desolation.

Xia Daoming slowly exhaled, feeling somewhat downcast.

Fifty years is but a fleeting moment for cultivators, not worth mentioning.

But Xia Daoming always thought of his beloved wife, his master and other elders, and his fellow disciples. He longed to cross the vast ocean as soon as possible to go to the Southern Flame Immortal Realm to find them and reunite with them.

Let alone fifty years, even waiting another five years would be too long.

The reason for the delay was to gain greater strength and be more confident in crossing the vast ocean, which is far more dangerous than the Nine Immortal Realms.

Xia Daoming originally planned to seize a great opportunity in the fragmented lands of the Primordial World. Even if he couldn't forge a Dutian World, he could at least touch the threshold of a Dutian World before leaving. This way, he could not only cross the vast ocean at a faster speed and reach the Southern Flame Immortal Domain, but also have greater security.

As a result, fifty years have passed.

Not only did he fail to reach the threshold of the Capital Heaven World, but he also encountered bottlenecks and stagnated in all aspects of body refinement, the Ancestral Dragon Overlord Body Divine Ability, and Qi Refining.

Even though he consumed large amounts of the flesh and blood of ancient species, spiritual plants and fruits from the ancient world, and constantly sought out powerful ancient species to fight to the death, there was no sign of any improvement.

After a long while, Xia Daoming finally withdrew his gaze, inwardly sighing and mocking himself.

"It's true that people are never satisfied! I've only been in the Primordial Fragment World for fifty years, and I'm already able to fight to a standstill against Primordial Remnants at the True Transformation Realm without using the Purple Mansion Purple Qi and Fire Wutong. How can I ask for more?"
Moreover, according to Huo Wutong, with the conditions of my Crimson Palace Divine Weapon, once I forge a world of my own, I would probably be able to directly rival a Golden Immortal of the Myriad Laws Realm.

Any Golden Immortal in the Myriad Laws Realm is a powerful figure renowned throughout the Nine Domains and Seven Seas. They must have cultivated for countless years and endured countless tribulations to reach this level. Even if I have exceptional talent and opportunities, how could I possibly reach this level in a short time?
It seems that crossing this threshold, or even just touching it, will likely take at least thousands or tens of thousands of years. Thousands or tens of thousands of years—how could I possibly wait that long? It seems this is the only option for now: I must first get out, then cross the ocean to the Southern Flame Immortal Realm!

With this thought, Xia Daoming calmed down, then slowly turned around, preparing to leave.

Just then—

The heavens and earth suddenly trembled.

Xia Daoming suddenly looked up.

　That concludes today's update.
