I Am Overlord

Chapter 1736: Divine Primal Chaos Lotus

Xiang Shaoyun could not refuse Dugu Qiubai's request. Even if it was extremely dangerous, that was still not a request he could refuse. He followed Dugu Qiubai and soon reached the center of the primal chaos world. The primal chaos energy there was dense, and the place was inhabited by a celestial primal chaos dragon. Xiang Shaoyun and Dugu Qiubai traveled cautiously due to the terrifying dragon, afraid that they would provoke the beast.

The celestial primal chaos dragon was the true tyrant of the primal chaos world. It was dreadfully strong and was most definitely in the Nine Revolutions Realm. Apart from that, many other primal chaos life forms also resided there. They were all terrifying, and every now and then, they would clash among themselves in terrifying battles. However, their surroundings would be automatically restored after each battle. The power of the world was automatically restoring the landscape.

Upon witnessing all that, Xiang Shaoyun's comprehension of the power of primal chaos became even deeper. It was only a matter of time before he obtained the ability to replicate the primal chaos world, granting his astral cosmos sea the same or even stronger ability. One could say that for both Xiang Shaoyun and Dugu Qiubai, each additional day spent in the primal chaos world would benefit them greatly.

However, Dugu Qiubai did not have a world within him like Xiang Shaoyun. Thus, he walked a different path. He walked the path of pure primal chaos, and he had an exceedingly bright future ahead of him.

After traveling in concealment for a while, the two finally arrived at the place with the thickest primal chaos energy. Xiang Shaoyun couldn't help but start absorbing the primal chaos energy around him. He could see that a concentration of primal chaos energy had formed a primal chaos lake, a lake with five-colored water. Any God Realm expert would greatly covet such water.

In the middle of the primal chaos lake was the dazzling and beautiful divine primal chaos lotus. It grew alone, and its five petals radiated energy of high purity. Five colors swirled around it, forming a mystical scene of creation and destruction. At the base of the flower was some sort of landing where strands of primal chaos energy hovered. That was the most original primal chaos energy. Each strand could give one an intense sense of comfort.

"This is the divine primal chaos lotus?" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed.

"Yes. Let's work together to harvest this flower. You can have the lotus, but I want the base," said Dugu Qiubai.

Every part of the divine primal chaos lotus was incomparably precious, while the base was most definitely the most valuable of its parts. If one could meditate on top of it, one's cultivation speed would increase considerably. One might even be able to rapidly obtain full mastery over the profundity of primal chaos. One ought to admit that Dugu Qiubai had keen judgment. He knew clearly what he wanted, and he wanted the best part of the lotus.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "Brother Dugu, you have good eyes. But what if I want the base as well?" historical

If he could obtain the base, he would basically be guaranteed a passage into the Reincarnation Realm in the future. He naturally wouldn't want to miss out on that.

"If you're willing to stay here, I won't mind letting you have the base," said Dugu Qiubai indifferently.

"What do you mean?" Xiang Shaoyun frowned.

"To undergo the nine revolutions and enter the Reincarnation Realm, one has to stay here and absorb the world's power, eventually becoming one with the primal chaos world. Otherwise, one would not be able to complete the nine revolutions no matter how hard one tries. I have decided to stay here until my breakthrough is complete. Perhaps it will take 100 years, or 1,000 years, or an eternity," said Dugu Qiubai.

Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow. "You're really planning to stay here?"

"Hehe, all I ever wanted was to step into the peak of cultivation. This place is suitable for my physique, and I believe that I can become the master of this place in the future. This might be my predestined fate," said Dugu Qiubai.

Xiang Shaoyun looked at Dugu Qiubai, trying to see any emotion from Dugu Qiubai's face. He couldn't imagine someone living all alone here. Had this fellow achieved full inner peace to the point he wouldn't even miss the warmth of the fairer sex? If Dugu Qiubai knew what Xiang Shaoyun was thinking, he would probably faint from pure anger. Here he was, with his noble aspirations, while Xiang Shaoyun was thinking about women.

After thinking about it, Xiang Shaoyun agreed, "Ok. You can have the base. I want the petals. There are no terrifying life forms nearby. Why didn't you harvest it yourself, Brother Dugu?"

"Hehe, the divine primal chaos lotus in itself is the strongest life form in the area. Watch," said Dugu Qiubai with a smile. He then made a grabbing gesture at the lotus, sending an energy hand forward.

Just as the hand was about to reach the lotus, a burst of primal chaos energy erupted from the flower and swatted the energy hand away. Xiang Shaoyun blanked out, finally understanding what Dugu Qiubai meant.

"Don't tell me this lotus is as strong as someone in the Nine Revolutions Realm," said Xiang Shaoyun, somewhat speechless.

Dugu Qiubai was at ninth-stage God Realm, and he even had the Primal Chaos Physique. If even he couldn't take down the lotus, one could only imagine how powerful the lotus was.

"Yes. It is as powerful as someone in the Nine Revolutions Realm. I'll deal with the lotus. Pay attention and watch for a chance to cut its stem. Doing so will weaken it. At that time, this lotus will be ours," said Dugu Qiubai as he started walking on the water toward the lotus.

It was at that moment that a human figure manifested before the lotus. The figure looked exactly like Dugu Qiubai, but its body shone with a five-colored light. It radiated a dazzling sense of beauty, and with a smile, it said, "You're here again? Do you really think I won't kill you?"

"If you agree to follow me, I will stop bothering you," said Dugu Qiubai.

"A loser like you dare to speak such conceited nonsense? I shall kill you and use your body to make me the true master of this place," said the lotus before attacking.

The lotus was truly powerful. A mere casual attack shook Xiang Shaoyun to his core. As the lotus pushed its primal chaos power to its limit, the world itself started withering. The many life forms around the lake were affected as well. All of them started fleeing everywhere in fear.

"This is the concept of destruction, formed by two opposing powers," exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun in shock.

He was finally experiencing how terrifying the purest profundity of primal chaos was.
