Chapter 512. Fusion Innate Great Divine Power

"Eldrin (Person Name), what's wrong with you today?"

With bright eyes and pearly white teeth, her expression tinged with curiosity, she took his hand and said, "You've been asleep for a whole day. I thought you'd fallen ill."

"Was it just a dream?"

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow, but before he could gather his thoughts, he was pulled away by Xia Huaixu (Person Name).

Work, accompanying his girlfriend on shopping trips, playing the zither in his spare time, and practicing dance with her—life seemed to have returned to tranquility.

Everything appeared ordinary, yet there was an undercurrent of the extraordinary.

Eldrin raised his head to gaze at the birds soaring across the sky, as if those hundreds of years of memories were but a fleeting dream, everything gradually fading into obscurity.

On this day, he quietly perused an ancient scroll held gently in his hands.

"Mysticism is the progenitor of nature and the great ancestor of all things."

Baopuzi?

Xia Huai Xu leaned in closer, peering curiously before asking, “Why are you still reading this trivial book?”

Eldrin did not reply, gazing at her calmly before letting out a long sigh after a prolonged silence. "I was merely reminiscing about my past life. A pity your power ultimately falls just short of what is required."

"Eldrin..." Xia Huaixu's expression turned bewildered, her voice tinged with confusion as she asked, "What did you say?"

"Your power is insufficient to sustain the illusion of a realm for long."

Eldrin shook his head and said calmly.

In his eyes, Xia Huaixu before him had transformed into a mass of black mist—an incarnation of the Nascent Soul Inner Demon Tribulation.

Inner demons excel at manipulating the human heart. When breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, if a cultivator's Dao heart is unsteady or burdened by guilt, the inner demon will seize the opportunity to devour both the nascent soul and the spiritual consciousness.

Moreover, if 1 fails to fulfill a Heart Demon Blood Oath after signing it, the power of the Heart Demon Tribulation will be drastically amplified.

Eldrin's (Person Name) Dao heart remained unshakably resolute, his soul's power far too formidable for the Inner Demon Tribulation to find even the slightest crevice to exploit.

Left with no other choice, he could only stir the memories of Eldrin's past life, hoping to uncover his weaknesses.

To conjure a true world from illusion was anything but simple.

Were it an inner demon tribulation of the Dao Lord realm, it might have eluded Eldrin’s perception. Yet this nascent soul inner demon tribulation before him fell far too short.

From the very first glance, Eldrin sensed something amiss about her—the monotonously repeated news broadcasts day after day, the identical route taken each and every day.

The work that had scarcely changed, the shopping trips, the playing of the zither—these were merely the more vivid memories etched in his mind.

Were it not for his desire to reminisce about the past, he would have long since emerged from the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Now that even this inner demon tribulation could not escape his discerning eyes, Eldrin (Person Name) naturally lost all interest.

A surge of pure yang power coursed through him, effortlessly enveloping the inner demon and refining it into a wisp of azure smoke.

"The Heart Demon Tribulation has been overcome."

Eldrin murmured to himself, a faint smile gracing his lips as he gazed upon the Great Luo Nascent Soul within his body.

The Great Dao Nascent Soul was even more profound than the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, its potential and foundation virtually limitless—it could even fuse with a fourth innate supernatural power.

With this thought, he decided not to delay any further and began preparing to merge the innate divine abilities within his body.

Over the years, he had long prepared to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and had already decided which Innate Divine Ability to cultivate.

He channeled his magical power, drawing out the divine thunder patterns of Geng Metal, Bing Fire, Jia Wood, Wu Earth, and Ren Water from within his body, then fused them into his Nascent Soul.

Although the 5 Elements Divine Thunder technique comprised 5 distinct supernatural powers, they had long since coalesced into a grand cycle of comprehension. Now, the martial techniques and supernatural abilities flowed in an unending circuit, having fully integrated into a single entity.

If Eldrin (Person Name) continued to comprehend it, he might even fuse it into 1 of the strongest offensive supernatural powers in this realm—the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder (Magic Treasure).

Thus, these 5 Elements Divine Thunders, now fused into 1, could naturally be integrated into the Nascent Soul as a divine ability.

5 streaks of light shot forth, transforming into interwoven 5-colored Dao patterns that were drawn into his dantian and merged with the primordial Dao pattern.

"Indeed, it worked!"

As the Nascent Soul merged with the 5 Elements Divine Thunder, Eldrin couldn’t help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise.

After the fusion of innate supernatural powers, not only will their grade advance, but the consumption of spiritual energy will also be significantly reduced.

After the successful fusion of his 5 Elements Divine Thunder, the Dao patterns spontaneously evolved under the amplification of his Nascent Soul, and their grade actually began to rapidly ascend.

Before long, the power of each of the 5 divine thunderbolts surged dramatically, reaching a level comparable to half-step grand supernatural powers.

The Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art) had advanced in potency, its grade directly ascending to the rank of a Major Divine Ability. Augmented by the amplification of the 5 Thunders Grand Cycle, its power could now be considered truly exceptional among Major Divine Abilities.

The Tri-Phenomenon Divine Thunder was already a great divine ability in itself. After its ascension, its grade could be considered a pinnacle great divine ability. Further amplified by a 50 percent boost from the 5 Elements cycle, its destructive power had been vastly enhanced.

"Perhaps he has already touched the threshold of Half-Step Pure Yang divine abilities."

Eldrin murmured to himself, a trace of astonishment flashing across his features.

Generally speaking, only those who have reached at least the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage—the pinnacle True Lords—possess the capability to cultivate the Pure Yang Divine Art.

Although the Half-Step Pure Yang Divine Ability was considerably inferior, it was more than sufficient to serve as the ultimate trump card and killing technique for a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, Eldrin could sense that as the 5 Elements Divine Thunder had become his innate divine ability, the effects of the 5 Thunder Body Tempering Art had increased severalfold. From now on, his physical body would grow increasingly formidable and extraordinary.

The potency of 1's innate divine ability is directly linked to the quality of their Nascent Soul.

"I have chosen the 5 Elements Divine Thunder as my innate divine ability, which will further enhance the effects of the 5 Thunder Body Tempering Art. Now it seems my choice was indeed correct."

Eldrin murmured to himself, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Of course, this was merely the anticipated effect. For his innate divine ability to undergo complete metamorphosis, he still needed to refine vast quantities of 5 Elements essence.

Without another word, he struck once more, merging the 5 divine patterns of Pure Yang Radiance from his sea of consciousness into his Nascent Soul.

After this integration, the power of the 5 types of Pure Yang Divine Light had indeed increased dramatically. Though it had not yet reached the level of subjugating all things, ordinary 5 Elements spiritual treasures would likely be suppressed by it to some degree.

Most crucially, after the 5 Elements Divine Light became his innate supernatural power, Eldrin felt the effects of the 5-Color Spirit Tempering Art had multiplied severalfold.

At this rate of tempering, the intensity of his soul would likely become something that even Nascent Soul True Monarchs would covet.

After mastering 2 great supernatural powers, Eldrin no longer sought to integrate a third.

At present, he had cultivated quite a few divine abilities, yet the truly great ones could be counted on 1 hand.

For him, 2 Innate Grand Divine Abilities were sufficient for the time being. Should he continue to merge Innate Abilities, they would have to be either those with immense potential or auxiliary abilities possessing unique effects.

For even if he were to merge several other common great supernatural powers, their might would still pale in comparison to the 5 Elements Divine Thunder and the 5 Elements Divine Light. To him, they were not entirely useless, yet hardly necessary.

It is said that after Eldrin fused with his innate divine ability, he felt his Nascent Soul had reached complete perfection, with only the final heavenly tribulation remaining.

He stepped out of his cavern abode, only to find the sky above churning with tribulation clouds stretching 3 1000 miles, where serpentine bolts of lightning had been gathering for a long time.
