Chapter 1186: Eight Hundred Thousand Years (3)
Physical attack and defense essentially came down to the combination of three aspects: ultimate techniques, foundation or base mana, and artifacts.
The biggest gap between myself and True Saint Xiao Yao and the others lies in our foundations.
Without achieving eternity, my internal world cannot evolve further, and my vital ether won't transform to the next level. Wu Yuan mused. The only path available to me is — Matter Eternal!
How did Wu Yuan rival many Perennials in foundation despite possessing the body of an Overlord? It was precisely through the combination of vital ether and physical strength.
Similarly, once Wu Yuan fully comprehended the profundities of eternal matter, his body would undergo another transformation, allowing him to forge an Eternal Matter Body.
After achieving eternity and breaking free from the constraints of the River of Universes, one could cultivate multiple Eternal Daos simultaneously. But being a Matter Eternal remained beyond the reach of most True Saints.
Once the Eternal Matter Body is forged, not only will my physical defense and soul defense skyrocket, but the power unleashed by the divine body alone will be comparable to that of a Saint.
My self-created Dao surpasses the Great Daos! My Eternal Matter Body will be further boosted with the radiance of my self-created Dao. A gleam shone in Wu Yuan's eyes. With Saint-level combat power and True Saint-level ultimate techniques, I'll be able to fully unleash two Xiantian Instruments...
This was the only way Wu Yuan could envision slaying a True Saint as a sempiternal lifeform.
Of course, once Wu Yuan broke through and possessed an Eternal Matter Body, he would fundamentally become an eternal lifeform. For a normal powerhouse, reaching this step would mean achieving eternity, and they would face rejection and suppression from the River of Universes.
But with the Ancestral Pagoda's projection and my identity as an Ancestral Pagoda Archon, it's enough to block the River of Universes' perception. Wu Yuan smiled faintly.
Ultimately, the path of matter relies purely on one's own power rather than drawing upon the essence of the River of Universes, which is why it can be concealed.
