Chapter 1121: Nwa Stone Fragments (1)
Wu Yuan possessed the Origin Saint Pearl, a high-grade Xiantian artifact, and the Heavenrending Sword Array, which rivaled a high-grade Xiantian artifact in overall power. When Wu Yuan's mana body wielded these two mighty artifacts, its combat power was nearly equal to that of his qi refiner self. After all, his qi refiner self's greatest advantage in battle lay in the lifebound flying swords.
For now, I have yet to create an eternal ultimate technique. My lifebound flying swords are still top-grade Dao Instruments, unleashing power slightly inferior to the Heavenrending Sword Array. Wu Yuan's gaze turned cold.
Without the Samsara Sword's Dao resonance, relying on these two artifacts alone, my strength only reaches the fourth-stage Overlord level. At most, the River Ring is somewhat special due to its spacetime sealing ability.
The River Ring also consumed vast amounts of mana. In a normal battle against two Perennial powerhouses, Wu Yuan would be forced to retreat before long.
But once empowered by the Samsara Sword's Dao resonance, the combat power of Wu Yuan's qi refiner self or mana body would increase dramatically, approaching that of a fifth-stage Overlord. Killing two Perennial ether bodies? There was definite hope.
Perennial powerhouses were on par with most fourth-stage Overlord powerhouses who had created eternal ultimate techniques. However, they were far inferior to the likes of the Heavenly Imperator and Great Emperor Yan Tuo back in the day.
The Heavenly Imperator and Great Emperor Yan Tuo had all pioneered their own Daos at the sempiternal stage, becoming Saints the moment upon achieving eternity. It was precisely because of this that they could become Legends of the River.
If a Perennial powerhouse could pioneer their own Dao, they would have long since become a Saint. Why would they remain at the Perennial stage? Wu Yuan's gaze was cold. The mana and ether bodies of these Perennial powerhouses are merely sempiternal. In essence, they are just Overlords who have created eternal ultimate techniques.
If it were a Perennial powerhouse's true self, possessing an Eternal Psyche and an Eternal Body, they would be far stronger. With eternal ultimate techniques, they could easily unleash power close to that of a fifth-stage Overlord, even rivaling true fifth-stage Overlord powerhouses. Meanwhile, their mana bodies and ether bodies were naturally much weaker.
The peak fourth-stage Overlord level corresponded to the Threshold Perennial stage.
The threshold fifth-stage Overlord level was equivalent to the Peak Perennial stage.
