Chapter 1108: Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tus Guidance (1)
At this precise moment, it wasn't Wu Yuan's body refiner self wielding the Origin Saint Pearl technique, but rather his mana body. Though the difference in combat power between his mana body and qi refiner self was primarily attributed to the lifebound flying swords, it was not particularly pronounced. Their mana reserves and Dao comprehension remained identical.
There's no significant gap between the true self and mana or ether body of a sempiternal lifeform. Wu Yuan mused inwardly. But once one becomes an Eternal, the disparity between an eternal lifeform's true self and its mana or ether body grows vast.
The special nature of eternal lifeforms lay in the formation of the Eternal Psyche. And since the Eternal Psyche was unique, it rendered the mana and ether bodies of Eternal powerhouses considerably weaker.
The combat power of Saint Hong Yun's mana body was only equivalent to that of a Perennial Eternal. Thus, when returning to the River of Universes, her true self had to come, ultimately leading to her permanent demise.
Eternal powerhouses escaped the suffering of samsara and gained eternal lifespans, but in some ways, they also lost many privileges of sempiternal lifeforms.
River Ring. Wu Yuan multitasked. As his mana body felt the immense power of the Origin Saint Pearl, he was unable to suppress a smile.
This so-called River Ring was essentially an absolutely independent spacetime, a miniature river of space and time, cycling endlessly.
Within this ring of spacetime, beginning is end and end is beginning, an endless cycle. Wu Yuan marveled inwardly. Unless one breaks out of the spacetime constraints with absolute power, or has extremely deep comprehension of the Great Dao of Spacetime, it's impossible to leave the ring of spacetime no matter how far one flies.
In terms of offensive power, the River Ring wasn't as strong as some extremely powerful spacetime domain killing techniques. But as a supporting move, its effects were truly heaven-defying.
The Origin Saint Pearl has similar functions to the Origin Realm Pearl. I can integrate other Xiantian artifacts and divine swords into the Origin Saint Pearl, enhancing the attack power of the miniature river of space and time.
Wu Yuan's mana body gave a mental command.
