Celestial Peak

Chapter 554: The Furnace

"DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY! GET THE FURNACE FROM HIM!"

"KILL HIM AND GET THE KEY!" 

At the Northern Areas of the Universe, after finding out his wife and daughter somehow returned from being turned to Abyssal Demons, Naor ran with all that he had as billions of Abyssal Demons and Revenants chased right behind him.

His wings were damaged from all the sword cuts he received. But, he kept on flying without stopping, 'I must get back to the others I must let them know about thiswe have hope!'

***

Slash! Crash! A sword broke as it touched a fair skin.

"With this, we have destroyed a 100 of the Deities' best work, attempted to cut you in the same spot in the exact same spot and failed to even replicate the effects of a World Treasure. This confirms it, these things don't work on you. It appears only World Treasures managed to yield any result."

Swords forged by the best of the best broke without so much as leaving a scratch on Wang Ling's body. No pain was felt, only a minor inconvenience for him to receive the swords he once did his best to avoid.

"Now, strike me with your Origin Water and Darkness. Use your fully power."

"Okay" The twins touched hands, their form warped and as both darkness and water was dragged out of the source of spirit qi, their silhouettes were shrouded and then appeared a giant Turtle with a Black Shell as its tail was a white serpent. They towered over the mountains in the distance, filling the vast meadows.

The Black Turtle summoned water, and the Serpent called upon the darkness. Two giant pool of elemental qi coalesced into a cascading ball of light. Darkness and Water elemental qi exploded into Wang Ling!

The giant Black Turtle transformed back into their humanoid forms, both out of breath, "So how was that, Wang Ling?"

A blast of unimaginable proportions set off. A massive blast radius was formed as it touched Wang Ling's flesh, for hundreds of meters, a crater spanned, and in the middle of it, was Wang Ling with mild cuts.

Blue blood was somehow drawn, "So I can still receive damage from Origin Elements or with the same element but it would take a lot and I have to let my muscles rest and retrieve my own essence into my body creating a pseudo dantian. I even had to manually stop the interference of the Angelic lineage, and had to make Angel shut up about the danger overall, we are close to nothing in progress of trying to kill methis time, can you show me how strong you would be if I use the Angelic Lineage?"

He said as he wiped the blood off his face and then had it touch the ground to recover from the damage. It had been hours since Wang Ling and the twins began trying to take the life of an Originator. Wang Ling had not received any major damage.

"You two, let's try it one more time. This time I'll activate my control over the elements. Let's see if it can break through!"

"Wait a minute we still need time to rest Wang Ling!" The twins, plopped on the ground, out of breath from going all out in that instant, "That was too taxing even for us we're not you who has an unlimited pool of qi."

Any sorts of weapons did not work on him, only World Treasures, showed signs of effectiveness, "With this, I can confirm that there are those that can hurt me. I should have known that the attack of a Deity could hurt me, the others managed to make me bleed, after all. But now, the question is, how could they hurt me like this? They have nothing in common." Wang Ling wanted to know.

To win is to know the weaknesses of your opponents but more importantly, how you could be beaten. Wang Ling just learned that he could die, and that, a weapon was being especially for him and Bai Xue. He would be fighting the Origin General again. It was only a matter of time, before they face again.

While the enemy had been preparing for eons, Wang Ling just learned how to control his abilities. He knows not what hidden secrets he had, not even the obvious ones. In fact, he just learned he could now call upon the elements of lightning, water, wind, frost, nature, and so much more. He could produce Primeval Elements with ease and he could feel that something else was hidden inside him, he just couldn't quite grasp what it was.

"They have something in common." Mulling over the matter of his circumstances, Wang Ling heard a tiny voice. 

"What do you mean, Azazil? Other than the twins' control of an aspect of an element, they have anything in common, then, there is nothing else."

"With all due respect Sir Wang Ling" Azazil hesitated.

"Ling is fine, you're the same as Angel. You don't have to be so formal about this." Wang Ling didn't care much about formality.

"Okay, well, it is because of the presence of Soul."

"Soul? The more you talk, the more you are losing me. I did not feel any soul force coming from neither the World Treasure nor the twins' attack exude such a force."

"Of course, they will not but. The thing with Deities is that, their existence is deeply connected to the Primeval Elements. Their power grows the closer they are to the All-Mother, the thicker their lineage gets, or in other words, the closer their soul is to the single one being who can give soul to others. Other than that, it could also be empowered by the fact that, the Origin Elements are speck of the Primeval Elements, the source of what Mortals and the Primordial Race alike could control.

"That said, the World Treasures came from the previous All-Father and those things were forged in the flames the Chaos Furnace. In the Chaos Furnace, there, the Hell Qi, and me, was born. There, I saw a lot of things, and in the flames of Chaos, Souls existed in the form of flickering lights. These lights would have no name, but today, they are referred to as"

"The Primordial Essence." Wang Ling suddenly yelped aloud, "Then, that could also mean that the Elemental Attacks of the Deities, that the stronger their soul is, and the stronger their elements are the closer their elements to the Primeval Elements which links back to me, its bloody source. That must also be why I control the elements"

Wang Ling finally connected the dots on what was it that cut him and how the Deities could hurt his so invincible flesh and why the Revenants, or the Abyss in general were hunting for the Origin Races.

The ability of the Deities to hurt Wang Ling could be attained in different ways and it was linked their very existence. The Origin Race on the other handwas different.
