Chapter 1319 - 99: Law Domain Miracle: Power of Heaven and Earth (Part 2)
"Your talent [Qi Yuan Body] has been enhanced, transforming into [Celestial Body]."[Celestial Body]: Heaven and earth resonate as one, all things converge into a singular whole.
Heaven and man are connected; your physical body will constantly and silently absorb Spiritual Energy from the environment (even during combat), greatly enhancing your recovery ability. Meanwhile, your lifespan is extended to two millennia.
"Your talent [Trapped in Formation] has been enhanced, current damage bonus: 5%*7=35%."
"You have obtained a new Life-bound Sword slot! Note, the Life-bound Sword Attribute added to this slot must not duplicate existing attributes! (Available slots: 2; Available attributes: Earth, Wind, Thunder.)"
......
After advancing to Integration, besides owning a Law Domain, the greatest enhancement is having the [Three Flowers Gathering at the Top] talent, allowing you to unify your own strength.
The combat power of a cultivator consists of various components: physical body strength, Primordial Spirit Realm, Magic Artifacts, Spells, combat awareness, and so on, all included within.
But the foundation of everything originates from cultivation, from mana.
The importance of the foundation is self-evident.
However, due to differences in cultivation systems, cultivators tend to focus on different aspects during cultivation.
For example, Spiritual Cultivators emphasize the Primordial Spirit Realm, Body Cultivators emphasize the physical body, while Dharma Cultivation focuses more on mana.
This leads to differences — although everyone's realms are the same, the differences in focus make the foundation of Dharma Cultivation often more solid than other paths.
This slightly higher foundation, when multiplied by various other enhancements, is often magnified.
The higher a cultivator's cultivation, the more pronounced these differences become after magnification.
Thus, it seems that at high realms, Dharma Cultivation should dominate the scene.
But that's not the case.
This is because, after advancing to Integration, cultivators have the ability of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.
Cultivators can use their own qi-blood and divine soul to enhance their mana, thereby improving their foundation and depth, bringing them in line with Dharma Cultivation.
Lu Qingshan looked at his attribute panel.
"Lu Qingshan (Human Race), Rank: Integration (Initial Stage)."
"Element Force Value: 2200/229,000 (current element force/element force value limit)."
"Primordial Spirit Realm: Soul Realm Late Stage (4500/9300) (current Divine Sense/Divine Sense limit)."
This means that after breaking through to the Body Integration Realm, his element force foundation has been raised from 129,000 to 229,000.
Normally, the element force foundation of Integration cultivators should be within the range of 100,000 to 200,000.
Lu Qingshan's cultivation has just broken through to the Integration Initial Stage but has already surpassed the usual foundation limit for Integration cultivators.
One step strong, every step strong.
Flawless Dao Foundation, Ten Flowers Extreme State, Nine Dragons Element Veins, ultimately stacking up to create today's "monster."
But that's not all. Although Sword Cultivators do not cultivate the physical body, qi-blood strength is negligible, completely ignorable, but the Primordial Spirit Realm of Sword Cultivators who wield Flying Swords cannot be underestimated, second only to Spiritual Cultivators among the six paths.
Not to mention that Lu Qingshan's Primordial Spirit Realm is indeed his strongest aspect.
Lu Qingshan had already tested it during his previous battle with Tian Mang.
With the [Three Flowers Gathering at the Top] talent, in combination with his 229,000 element force foundation and his late-stage soul realm divine soul strength, his element force foundation would be elevated to a terrifying 350,000.
— The element force foundation of an Eighth Realm cultivator, calculated under normal circumstances without considering anomalies like Xia Daoyun or Lu Qingshan, generally falls between 200,000 and 800,000 below the Third Tribulation Realm.
Lu Qingshan's 350,000 element force foundation can already be compared to a First Tribulation Realm cultivator.
His Primordial Spirit Realm can even be on par with a Third Tribulation Realm cultivator.
From this perspective alone, Lu Qingshan, though only at the Integration Initial Stage, can entirely be seen as a First Tribulation Realm cultivator.
Tian Mang's eighth grade two-cast cultivation, although still able to overpower Lu Qingshan slightly, evidently cannot achieve the overwhelming dominance of an Eighth Grade over the Seventh Realm, so dying under Lu Qingshan's sword would be no surprise.
These attributes were all too familiar to Lu Qingshan, who had previously reached the Perfection Realm in his past life.
Thus, he merely glanced over them casually before focusing his attention on what he currently cared about the most.
The experience bar.
"Current Experience Points: 2.649 billion."
Because his cultivation has reached its utmost, his Experience Points have been accumulating with no place to spend them.
Additionally, since arriving in the Central Spirit Domain, continuous battles have turned his Experience Points into a terrifying number.
Just like money, no matter how much it's saved in the bank, it's just a number; only the money spent is real money.
Experience used is real experience.
Now, he aimed to use this enormous amount of Experience Points to bring himself an immense boost in combat power.
Lu Qingshan's gaze was somewhat fiery.
He could still recall the myriad wonders mastered during the Perfection Realm in his past life.
— The Integration Realm, due to the presence of a Law Domain, means that each small rank breakthrough is no longer merely a simple increase in cultivation and Primordial Spirit enhancement, but a qualitative transformation occurs, acquiring new Law Domain wonders.
Although from Lu Qingshan's perspective, whether his enemies were at the Integration Initial Stage or the Integration Middle Stage made no difference.
But in reality, apart from his unique situation, for most cultivators, a rank in the Integration Realm is a world apart.
"Today, barring any surprises, I should be able to ascend to the Perfection Realm once more." Lu Qingshan murmured.
The next instant, his Experience Points began to flow.
"[Great Xia Scripture] (Integration Chapter) level gained a boost, element force value limit increased by 100,000!"
"Your rank elevated to Integration Middle Stage, Divine Sense +500!"
"Your cultivation increased, Sword Domain obtained new wonders: [Power of Heaven and Earth]."
[Power of Heaven and Earth]: The Law Domain will automatically absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth from the environment, allowing the Domain Master to utilize it to recover from injuries.
As long as the Law Domain stands, the Power of Heaven and Earth remain inexhaustible, rendering the Domain Master indestructible.
Sword Domain's current Power of Heaven and Earth: 0
Sword Domain's current daily capacity to absorb Power of Heaven and Earth: 3 (for every 100,000 element force value limit, 1 unit of Power of Heaven and Earth can be absorbed; Domain Master's current element force value limit is 329,000, considered 300,000).
.......
At the Integration Initial Stage, cultivators merely initiate the Law Domain.
But by the Integration Middle Stage, cultivators can accumulate the Power of Heaven and Earth.
The Power of Heaven and Earth can help the Domain Master continuously recover from injuries.
This is a "invincible" divine technique from the perspective of low-realm cultivators.
Imagine a scenario where an Integration Initial Stage cultivator struggles to severely injure an Integration Middle Stage cultivator, only for them to instantly recover once they activate the Power of Heaven and Earth.
How despairing would that be?
How do you fight such a battle?
The difference in rank between Integration Initial and Middle Stage isn't large, but the qualitative change in strength is vast, making it an undeniable statement.
However, this wonder isn't truly invincible.
It has two significant flaws.
It's these two flaws that prevent Integration Middle Stage cultivators from being indestructible.
First, the Power of Heaven and Earth can only be automatically absorbed from the environment by the Law Domain; cultivators cannot actively absorb it.
This means that the Power of Heaven and Earth can only be slowly accumulated over time.
And this accumulation rate is quite slow — generally speaking, the Power of Heaven and Earth accumulated over decades or even a hundred years of tranquility can be nearly exhausted in a single fierce battle.
Therefore, to kill an Integration Middle Stage cultivator, it's entirely possible to drain their Power of Heaven and Earth through continuous battles, allowing for further slaying.
As a result, in the Integration Middle Stage, cultivators who don't make a move are the most terrifying, and the older they are, the better — because no one knows how much Power of Heaven and Earth these old Integration cultivators have accumulated during their long periods of inactivity.
As for the second flaw, it's even simpler.
The Power of Heaven and Earth can indeed heal the Domain Master's injuries, but it does not possess the power of resurrection.
Once dead, one cannot return to life.
If the Domain Master is instantly killed by a strong ambush, no matter how much Power of Heaven and Earth has been accumulated, it's useless.
The reason Lu Qingshan can slay Integration cultivators so effortlessly is because he perfectly capitalizes on the flaw of [Power of Heaven and Earth] with his immense explosive power.
Whenever he strikes with his sword, it is always for the kill, never giving Integration cultivators the chance to heal using the Power of Heaven and Earth!
