Chapter 1277: Dong Yis Promise (1)
Is he truly gone? Wu Yuan’s mana body and ether body watched True Saint Luan Hai's retreating presence until it vanished completely from their perception.
That man is absolutely terrifying. Even with my mana body and ether body working together, I'm not convinced we could defeat him in a life-or-death struggle. Wu Yuan mused to himself.
If his mana body unleashed its full power, wielding its psyche weapon, it would be catastrophic for both sides—a pyrrhic victory at best, as good as destroying a thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred of his own forces.
Could he actually slay True Saint Luan Hai outright? Wu Yuan didn’t have a shred of confidence. Even if he managed to inflict serious wounds and his ether body moved in for the killing blow, victory remained dubious at best.
The reason was simple: True Saint Luan Hai possessed overwhelming strength. He had not only taken the fourth step of his self-created Dao but also crafted a Dao Zenithel ultimate technique. His power had multiplied exponentially as a result.
Take Cloud Saint. Despite creating a top-tier self-created Dao, he hasn't yet developed a corresponding Dao Zenithel ultimate technique. He’s likely not True Saint Tian Chan’s match. Wu Yuan's thoughts deepened. True Saint Luan Hai's self-created Dao surpasses that. With his Dao Zenithel ultimate technique, his power will only be more formidable.
Ordinary self-created Daos, superior self-created Daos, and top-tier self-created Daos.
Different tiers of self-created Daos led to differences in strength at the same cultivation level, though the gap wasn't insurmountable. They were, after all, merely fragments of the Primordium gradually being refined toward perfection, representing potential more than immediate power.
True Saint Tian Chan illustrated this perfectly. Despite taking the fourth step ages ago and developing a Dao Zenithel ultimate technique, he remained unable to break through. The limitation was his self-created Dao's low potential, leaving him without absolute confidence in transforming his Saint Realm into an Eternal Realm.
One had to understand that a fallen cultivator might be revived, but a failed breakthrough often exacted a price far steeper than death itself.
Only Dao Masters, blessed by the essence of the Great Daos, could effortlessly establish Eternal Realms with superior self-created Daos.
Beyond Dao Masters, virtually 99.9% of all other Dao Zenithels in the cosmic sea pioneered top-tier self-created Daos.
