Chapter 72: Inanimate Tribulation Water
For Gu Chuan, reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm was not merely a matter of physical transformation. The growth of his Primordial Ancient Serpent Body and the surge in magic power within him were secondary compared to the true breakthrough—his complete comprehension of the Five Elements Law.
For a Chaos Demon God, an increase in magic power was common. But only through comprehending the laws could one truly advance toward the Dao. Without such understanding, one would remain nothing more than a reckless brute, unable to grasp the essence of the universe.
"The Law of the Five Elements..."
Deep within Gu Chuan's sea of consciousness, five primordial law runes had fully condensed—the Wood Rune, Water Rune, Earth Rune, Metal Rune, and Fire Rune.
These runes took the form of chaotic spheres, each the size of a planet, revolving in an intricate cycle. Within them, countless mystical law lines intertwined, forming a structure too profound for ordinary beings to comprehend.
The five runes resonated with one another, forming a vast Five-Pointed Star Array, endlessly cycling through creation and destruction. Through these Five Elements Runes, Gu Chuan could feel the immeasurable might contained within the Five Elements:
Wood: The source of all vitality and boundless energy.
Fire: A force of destruction and illumination, reducing all to ashes while lighting the path forward.
Earth: Steady and enduring, carrying the weight of all existence.
Metal: Sharp and resilient, cutting through all barriers.
Water: Infinite and adaptable, flowing ceaselessly without form, yet able to wear down even the hardest stone.
