Chapter 1658: The Essence of Earth

There was a golden triangular object about thirty meters long. It looked like a dark gold piece of iron, and shocking fluctuations were coming from it.

It was what had broken Di Long’s hand and the spatial formation, forcing him away. This strange object was floating in the air, waves of divine pressure coming from it. It was like the world was trembling because of its existence.

“The world’s innate elemental structure is based on earth, water, fire, and air, with earth coming first. It is the first element used to stabilize the world. It should be the core of the Jade Lake Sacred Land,” said Chu Yao.

“None of us are earth elemental cultivators. We probably won’t be able to take it,” said Tang Wan-er.

The current Tang Wan-er had absorbed the wind essence. Although she hadn’t fully refined it yet, she had comprehended the essence of it. That was the comprehension the Jade Lake Venerate had had toward wind energy. It had greatly benefited Tang Wan-er. Her inheritance was something countless people would go crazy for.

Otherwise, Tang Wan-er wouldn’t have been able to use wind energy in that crisis just now to escape the lock of the huge hand and bring everyone away.

“I might be able to try it with the Daynight Furnace.” The Pill Fairy walked forward. She sent the Daynight Furnace floating over to the object.

However, when the Daynight Furnace was a few miles away, it suddenly fell out of the sky and crashed into the ground.

“What?” Long Chen and the others were shocked. It was like an invisible hand was pressing the Daynight Furnace into the ground.

“This earth essence has a terrifying gravitational field around it. My power is too low to get the Daynight Furnace close to it,” said the Pill Fairy.

“Gravitational field?”

They were shocked. This strange object actually possessed such a terrifying gravitational field that not even the Pill Fairy’s Daynight Furnace could approach it?

“Yes, it’s too powerful. I can’t sense any resistance or malice coming from it, but I still can’t get close,” said the Pill Fairy.

Chu Yao nodded. “That proves it has to be the core of the Jade Lake Sacred Land, the essence of earth. It’s the earth inheritance of the Jade Lake Venerate. Based on what she left behind, the person to receive her inheritance must have an affinity with it. There’s no way for someone to s.n.a.t.c.h it through power. That person has to have the right elemental runes with it, but we…”

Chu Yao’s meaning was clear. They had no earth elemental expert here and could not connect to this earth essence. Even if there was an earth cultivator here, it would have to be someone with high enough talent to receive it.

“I’ll try it.” Liu Ruyan refused to accept it like this. In her Undying Willow true body, she sent out countless branches at the earth essence.

Those branches exploded while they were still a long way from the earth essence. She raged, “How can this be?! Earth births wood! There’s no clash between our elements, but it won’t even let me get close!”

Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan-er, Cloud, Liu Ruyan, and the Pill Fairy were all unable to find a solution. They looked from the earth essence to Long Chen. None of them had any ideas.

Tang Wan-er suddenly pointed a finger. A thin wind blade silently shot out at the earth essence.

When Tang Wan-er unleashed an attack, Long Chen and the others were completely shocked. Tang Wan-er’s wind energy was completely different from before.

Before, when Tang Wan-er wanted to use her wind energy, it would cause spatial fluctuations. However, now she was able to unleash this thin wind blade without causing any disturbance in the air around her. This thin little blade gave Long Chen a dangerous feeling. Perhaps even his body wouldn’t be able to block this wind blade.

Shockingly, Tang Wan-er’s attack wasn’t blocked at all. It struck the earth essence just like that and exploded. However, the earth essence wasn’t affected. Tang Wan-er’s attack didn’t shake it all. It didn’t even leave behind a mark.

“Physical attacks are useless, and magical arts can strike it but can’t cause any damage. It seems we really can’t do anything to this earth essence.” Tang Wan-er shook her head.

Now they all saw how powerful this earth essence was. Even a Netherpa.s.sage expert’s attack was broken by it, and the spatial channel had been sealed shut. Perhaps this earth essence was a protective measure the Jade Lake Venerate had left behind. This Jade Lake Sacred Land was left behind to those with destiny with its inheritances, which was why Life Star experts and above were not allowed to enter.

The arrival of a Netherpa.s.sage expert’s attack had broken its rules, causing the earth essence to appear and force the intruder away. That showed the crux of the problem.

Even a Netherpa.s.sage expert was helpless to do anything to it. As for the Pill Fairy, due to the limitations of her cultivation base, she was unable to use the Daynight Furnace to strike it. No one else had any other ideas.

The women all looked toward Long Chen. Long Chen seemed very relaxed. “I never believed in fate or affinity, because fate has no affinity with me. However, I’m rather good at s.n.a.t.c.hing things.”
