The four great laws of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. The four mystic arts Lin Lei had chosen were "Pulse of the Earth," "Mystic Art of Explosion," "Supple Roundness," and "Dimensional Attack." Among these, the most difficult to fuse was the "Mystic Art of Explosion." Over these five thousand years, as Lin Lei delved deeper into his study of Earth and Water, he had succeeded in perfectly fusing the "Mystic Art of Explosion" with both the "Pulse of the Earth" and the "Supple Roundness."
Now, Lin Lei had already fused the three mystic arts—"Pulse of the Earth," "Supple Roundness," and "Dimensional Attack"—into one. The fusion of the "Mystic Art of Explosion" with the "Dimensional Attack" had also reached its bottleneck. Once that was completed, only one final step would remain: the overall fusion of all four mystic arts.
"Rumble~~~" Waves crashed against the cliffs.
Lin Lei hovered high in the air. "Now, two steps remain. One is the complete fusion of the 'Mystic Art of Explosion' and 'Dimensional Attack.' The second is the fusion of all four mystic arts as a whole. Once that is done, the fusion of these four different mystic arts will be the most terrifying. Surpassing that Augustine will be simple."
Then, Lin Lei calmed his mind and surveyed his surroundings.
His Fused Divine Realm spanned only a radius of ten thousand miles, and there was no sun in this space.
Lin Lei looked up and uttered a single word: "Light!"
Instantly, centered on his "Might of a Supreme God," he gathered endless elemental energy. The elements compressed frantically, forming a dazzling sphere in the high sky—the sun! This sun hung at an immense height, radiating its light freely, illuminating this entire space.
With a mere thought, Lin Lei created a dimensional membrane around the sun, protecting it.
"It can now constantly absorb external elemental energy and release it in the form of sunlight, eternally without fading." Lin Lei smiled faintly. Then, using the same method, he created the moon on the far side of the world. In this divine realm, the sun and moon would also revolve according to the realm's orbit, constantly rotating.
When the sun rotated below the horizon, to the far side of the world, the moon would just rise above it.
"All is done." Lin Lei looked around. There was land, there were mountains, there was sea... but no life. However, creating life was not something Lin Lei could do. At most, he could bring some life forms here from other places.
"Whoosh~~"
In the distance, a huge rift suddenly tore open the sky, and two figures flew through it. They were Belute, in his black robe, and Qing Huo, in his white robe. Both seemed somewhat surprised and curious.
"Haha, Lin Lei, this Fused Divine Realm of yours, though small, surpasses even the seven great divine realms in terms of spatial stability alone. It approaches the four supreme divine realms!" Belute swiped his hand, creating a spatial rift, offering his commentary as he did so. "Moreover, in this realm, the Earth and Water elemental energies are so dense."
Lin Lei smiled helplessly. "Don't make fun of me. It took me four thousand years to create such a small realm."
"We're not making fun of you." Qing Huo looked around, smiling. "Creating a realm... it's a pity we cannot create life."
"The creation of life is still a domain that us Supreme Gods cannot interfere with," Belute said lightly. Then he looked at Lin Lei, a hint of expectation in his gaze. "Lin Lei, after spending five thousand years, with your cultivation speed—especially after becoming a Supreme God, with two Supreme God clones—your speed is now over a hundred times what it was before. In five thousand years, what level have you reached?"
Qing Huo's eyes also lit up, watching Lin Lei expectantly.
"I've fused five mystic arts of the Earth Law, and four of the Water Law," Lin Lei said, frowning with a sigh. "However, fusing the different mystic arts of the four laws still requires more work. Cultivation truly becomes more difficult the further one goes. I estimate that for me to truly complete the fusion of the four laws, it could take anywhere from a few thousand years to... an indefinite period."
Belute and Qing Huo exchanged a glance.
The achievement Lin Lei had reached did not exceed their expectations. After all, five thousand years as a Supreme God would absolutely surpass fifty thousand years of cultivation before becoming one.
The three Supreme Gods chatted and laughed within the newly born Fused Divine Realm.
"Lin Lei, when are you returning to the Yulan Realm?" Belute suddenly asked.
"There's no rush. My original body is also at Dragonblood Castle, so there's no need to hurry back. I plan to research my strongest current technique," Lin Lei replied with a faint smile. "My understanding of the mystic arts has increased, so the old technique 'Inch Earth, Foot Sky' is no longer suitable in terms of power."
"That's true," Belute and Qing Huo nodded in agreement.
"Well, we'll wait for you in the Yulan Realm. Haha, when you've figured it out, you'll have to demonstrate it for us!" Belute said with a hearty laugh. Then he and Qing Huo departed.
Researching a technique most suited to oneself wouldn't take long—typically only ten days to half a month.
The four laws of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind contained a total of twenty-seven mystic arts. Choosing the optimal four from among them was extremely difficult. However, given Lin Lei's understanding of the four laws, and his decision to focus on "physical attack," he had chosen these four: "Pulse of the Earth," "Mystic Art of Explosion," "Supple Roundness," and "Dimensional Attack."
Among them, "Pulse of the Earth," "Mystic Art of Explosion," and "Dimensional Attack" were all incredibly powerful mystic arts focused on offense.
Forcibly fusing them together was nearly impossible. Therefore, Lin Lei selected "Supple Roundness" to act as a nexus, allowing the other three to fuse together perfectly.
According to Lin Lei's plan—
He would take the strongest aspect of each of the four laws and combine them. Their combined power would surely reach an inconceivable level.
In the void, spatial currents flowed like streaking meteors, dazzling and enchanting.
Lin Lei stood in the void, holding the Shadowy Divine Sword. Sometimes he closed his eyes in contemplation, other times he casually demonstrated a technique. Each demonstration caused the surrounding space to collapse.
"Although I have only fused three so far, and the fourth, the 'Mystic Art of Explosion,' hasn't been integrated yet, that doesn't matter. The 'Mystic Art of Explosion' merely allows my attacks to condense and erupt completely in an instant, like a volcanic eruption, multiplying their power tenfold or more."
The ultimate technique he had researched now could still be used once the four mystic arts were fused.
On the tenth day of his research in the void.
"Whoosh!" The Shadowy Divine Sword flashed, and the surrounding void instantly trembled.
The Shadowy Divine Sword thrust out. In that instant, space seemed to freeze!
"Pfft—"
