657 Lin Bei’s Dream! Void Battlefield! (1)
In the desolate desert, in a distorted space, in a hall standing in the void, a black flame roared, emitting terrifying energy that tore the void into countless pieces.
“Damn it! Lin Bei, right? Just you wait! I’ll make you… wish you were dead!!!”
The Lord of Fear was furious. He wished he could skin Lin Bei alive and burn his bones to ashes!
However, he could only hold it in!
That was because his plan had reached a critical moment. If he made a mistake, he might fail at the last step!
Therefore, he had to endure it! He had to endure it ruthlessly!
“This kid… I didn’t expect that even the clone of a Ninth Revolution Saint would be unable to do anything to him! Looks like… if I want to attack, I can only use the power of the Great Dao Realm.”
The Lord of Fear was furious, “Damn it, the current me can’t easily separate my Great Dao clone. Otherwise… I might be locked down by the Will of Heaven and Earth. At that time… there will definitely be endless trouble! Looks like I can only recall those elites in the Void Battlefield to deal with the matters over there.”
At the thought of this, the Lord of Fear condensed a black mark and shot into the void, disappearing.
“Kid, just you wait. If the Saint Realm can’t do anything to you, I’ll send the elites of the Great Dao Realm to attack! A mere ant dares to challenge me! I… will definitely make you wish you were dead! Hmph!”
…
“A… Achoo!”
Beside the Gate of Fear, Lin Bei rubbed his nose and was a little puzzled. “Strange, my current strength is comparable to a Great Dao Realm expert. Why am I still sneezing? Could it be that someone is thinking about me?”
However, he quickly stopped letting his imagination run wild and continued to cultivate seriously.
He still had six ancient martial arts origin marks that he had yet to refine. Other than that, the speed at which the resources of the Gate of Fear were supplied had increased by more than a hundred times. For him now, it was a good time to quickly increase his strength!
Actually, there was still something he did not understand.
Great Dao Realm existences cultivated by opening their Dao meridians, while his Dao Integration Realm cultivation method was Dao Integration, which was combining Dao meridians.
They were both Dao Meridians, but there was definitely a difference between them.
For example, he had already possessed 100 Dao meridians when he had just entered the Dao Integration Realm. However, in traditional cultivation, existences who could open 100 Dao meridians were already known as super big shots in the Great Dao Realm.
There must be quite a difference.
Lin Bei did not think that his current strength was enough to match a Great Dao expert who had opened a hundred meridians because he could roughly sense his current strength. Compared to before his breakthrough, although he was much stronger now, he was definitely not as unbelievable as before.
In terms of comparison, the current him, who was at the first level of the Dao Integration Realm, was roughly equivalent to… the Great Dao Realm of the nine meridians. If he went further, he would probably be inferior.
“Looks like… there must be a secret I don’t know.”
Lin Bei touched his chin and thought carefully. There was only one thing he could be sure of, and that was that the power he cultivated, including the power in his Dao meridians, came from his own strength. However, it was hard to say for the cultivation of the Great Dao Realm. This was because from the beginning, they had relied on the Will of Heaven and Earth to cultivate. Perhaps… they had also relied on the power of heaven and earth to open their meridians to cultivate?
If that was the case, the difference between the Dao Integration Realm and Great Dao Realm was easy to explain.
Because the Great Dao Realm borrowed the power of heaven and earth, even a single Dao meridian could erupt with incomparably terrifying power. This was because the power of heaven and earth was almost endless. Just borrowing a little was enough to shake the world!
However, it was not the same for the Dao Integration Realm meridians. That was because the Dao Integration Realm meridians were condensed from one’s own power, and they were definitely not comparable to the power of heaven and earth. Even if one advanced, one had to do it step by step and not overnight. Therefore, if one purely erupted, it would definitely not be comparable to a Dao meridian opened by borrowing the power of heaven and earth.
Of course, Lin Bei still firmly believed in one thing—the borrowed power did not belong to him after all. If the source of power was cut off one day, their strength would plummet and they would be an ant at the mercy of others.
However, the Dao Integration Realm cultivators were different. They cultivated their own power, and even if they absorbed the power of heaven and earth, they would refine it into their own power. It was a power that completely belonged to them, and there was no hidden risk of borrowing power. Moreover, who said that heaven and earth were the strongest?
If that was the case, there would not be any legends of breaking through the void and ascending to the Dao.
Therefore, in Lin Bei’s opinion, rather than believing in the heaven and earth, it was better to believe in his own potential.
“Let’s not talk about anything else. The upper limit of this world definitely exists. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a saying that the Above the Great Dao realm can transcend the restrictions of heaven and earth.”
Lin Bei muttered. He firmly believed in one thing in his heart. If he was powerful, he was truly powerful. The power he borrowed… was ultimately just an external object.
For example, those Fear Incarnations and Fear Puppets. Their power was borrowed from the Lord of Fear. This power did not belong to them. Although it could increase their combat strength, what was the truth? These puppets and incarnations were just means used by the Lord of Fear to absorb power to improve himself.
What if the power of heaven and earth was the same?
Then wouldn’t cultivating for the rest of his life benefit others?
Hence, Lin Bei would rather take it step by step than take that shortcut.
Moreover, he had obtained a lot of information through the soul memories of Jiang Li and the members of the Ghost Face Team. In this world, there were many super experts at the perfected Great Dao Realm who were hiding.
