“What is the Well of Origin?”
The one who posed this question was not Ye Tian, but another Child of the Era.
It was evident that not all Children of the Era within the Twelve Cosmic Eras knew about the Well of Origin. Aurora happened to be one of the few who knew this secret.
Aurora explained, “The Well of Origin is an ancient well containing origin power, distinct from the Chaos Well, and even more precious to a certain extent.
The Chaos Well merely contains a high concentration of chaotic yuan qi, with a chaotic space inside that produces some chaotic materials.
While the Chaos Well is rare, it is not uncommon in the universe. However, the Well of Origin is almost entirely legendary.
Even the Supremes haven’t found a Well of Origin; it’s only known through the legacies of powerhouses from the chaos.
For us, entering the Well of Origin and absorbing its power means comprehending countless laws in a short time, gaining a deep understanding of many laws, and even improving our mastery of the Dao and various secret techniques quickly.
To us, the Well of Origin is absolutely a treasure that can drive people mad!” Aurora was visibly excited as he spoke.“Aurora, is the Well of Origin equally rare in the Origin Realm?” Someone asked.
“Indeed!” Aurora nodded. “Even in the Origin Realm, finding a Well of Origin is not simple. The Origin Realm is dangerous; the creatures here are generally physically formidable, and our powers are suppressed. We may not even defeat some of the weaker creatures here.
Moreover, our movement will be very slow, and the Origin Realm is vast, seemingly boundless.
Additionally, I don’t know much about the Origin Realm, just what I’ve heard from the Supremes. I never thought I’d be able to enter the Origin Realm, so I never tried to understand it deeply!”
Although Aurora revealed few secrets, everyone had a clear understanding now.
First, this place was undoubtedly the Origin Realm.
Second, the greatest opportunity here was the Well of Origin. Finding one would lead to a complete rise in power, far surpassing other Children of the Era.
For example, even the weaker Children of the Era, if they obtained a Well of Origin, could quickly rival Aurora, if not Ye Tian.
One by one, the Children of the Era flew off in different directions, including Aurora, who chose his own direction and quickly flew away.
It was clear that no one wanted to cooperate. Finding a Well of Origin and deciding how to divide it would lead to conflicts, possibly even deadly fights. Therefore, searching for opportunities separately was the most reasonable approach.
Ye Tian also teleported away, but he left a mark at his location. If he couldn’t find a way out, he would return here. Even if he couldn’t open the exit, the Supremes outside, once they dealt with the Creatures of Destruction, would find the explosion site of the Heavenly Venerable Creature of Destruction and force open the passage to the Origin Realm.
The Origin Realm was difficult to find because its entrance was unknown, but once the entrance was discovered, opening it again wouldn’t be hard.
After leaving the area, Ye Tian searched for the Well of Origin.
A few minutes later, he hadn’t found the Well of Origin but did encounter a creature.
“A black panther!”
A black panther appeared before Ye Tian. It wasn’t very large, about a hundred meters long, quite ordinary compared to the powerful creatures outside.
But Ye Tian could sense the explosive power in every cell of this panther. Its muscles were perfectly streamlined without any excess.
This was no ordinary panther but a powerful creature with an exceptionally strong body.
Instantly, Ye Tian used his Copy Talent on the panther and was shocked.
“This…”
Upon investigating, he found the panther’s talent to be quite unique.
Its bloodline and speed talents were nothing special compared to other creatures, but one talent stood out: its strength talent.
[Strength Talent: Peak Mystic]
Mystic-level strength talents were not uncommon; countless people in the universe had them, and most geniuses possessed God-level strength talents.
But what made this panther’s talent strange was the peak mark beside its mystic talent, something Ye Tian encountered for the first time.
Roar! The panther roared at Ye Tian and charged at him.
Although the black panther was strong, Ye Tian didn’t worry about it, as its strength was far inferior to his own.
Even though his abilities were suppressed in the Origin Realm, he could easily kill the panther in an instant. However, instead of ending its life immediately, he gently punched it.
Boom! The black panther was sent flying backward, but Ye Tian was a bit surprised.
He had used a force comparable to the panther’s strength and even employed his God-level strength talent. Yet, despite this, he merely knocked the panther back without causing it any harm.
“My defense is incredibly strong, and my body is far superior to this panther’s. For it to push me back is unrealistic. This means my strike was actually evenly matched with the panther’s.”
“But how is this possible? I used a God-level strength talent, and it used a mystic-level strength talent. There should be a significant difference between mystic-level and God-level strength talents. This result is unexpected,” Ye Tian thought.
Moreover, he could confirm that the panther had only used its physical strength and mystic-level strength talent. It hadn’t used any special techniques, attacking directly and straightforwardly.
“It seems the issue lies with its ultimate mystic-level strength talent,” Ye Tian speculated.
Instead of killing the panther, he captured it and imprisoned it in the Ancient Chaos Realm.
He couldn’t guarantee that every creature here was like this. If this panther was an exception, he didn’t want to waste a research subject.
“It’s a pity the panther’s strength talent is only mystic-level. My strength talent is God-level, and I can’t copy a talent inferior to my own. If the panther’s strength talent were a Peak God-level, I might have had a chance to copy it.” Ye Tian sighed.
He spent some time searching and found several more creatures in the Origin Realm.
These creatures all had strength talents marked as ultimate.
They could unleash attacks far stronger than what their strength talents typically allowed. This wasn’t an isolated case; it was consistent.
This led Ye Tian to a hypothesis.
“Based on my investigation over the past few days, creatures in the Origin Realm all have ultimate strength talents. The mystic-level ultimate strength talent is evidently stronger than the normal mystic-level strength talent, almost comparable to God-level strength talent,” Ye Tian mused.
This might not seem significant, but encountering a creature with a Peak God-level strength talent would be a different story.
In the universe, the highest strength talent was God-level. Geniuses with God-level strength talents couldn’t improve further.
Because of this, these geniuses sought various ways to learn secret techniques to enhance their power, unleashing even stronger attacks.
For instance, the Tiangang Battle Technique, which enhanced overall combat power, also increased strength. This technique was considered one of the strongest in the universe.
If Ye Tian had a Peak God-level strength talent, it would exponentially increase his power, significantly boosting his combat strength. “I must find a Peak God-level strength talent!”
Excited, Ye Tian searched for creatures everywhere.
However, not everything went smoothly.
One day, Ye Tian saw a small hill and wanted to inspect it, but his expression quickly changed.
His Copy Talent detected that the hill had a talent, not a Peak God-level strength talent, but a mystic-level ultimate strength talent. This indicated that the hill was not a hill but a powerful creature.
As Ye Tian prepared to leave, two eyes appeared on the hill, staring at him. A terrifying aura emanated from it.
Boom!!!! The world changed color, and an unimaginable burst of blood energy erupted.
Then, a stone hand emerged from the hill, reaching out to grab Ye Tian.
“This creature’s body is far stronger than mine. Its physical combat power alone is likely not inferior to that of the Heavenly Venerable Creature of Destruction.”
“Even at my peak, I could only escape!” Ye Tian thought in shock.
He dared not stay. Although he had the Sea of Death, there was no one here to restrain the creature. If he were caught by the stone hand, he would only wait for death. Once the flowers of the Sea of Death died, his turn would come.
So, he had to flee! Teleport! Teleport! Teleport! The stone hand seemed to break through layers of space with sheer physical strength, trying to catch Ye Tian, but its other deficiencies prevented it from stopping Ye Tian’s teleportation.
In the end, Ye Tian escaped.
