Chapter 1270 Tulas’ Feelings
Elementium was not scary! What was scary were the principles!
For high-grade creatures, their powerful elementium resistance provided them with basic elementium immunity. Ordinary fire, frost, and wind could no longer faze them. At the very best, these elements could only cause them a little trouble.
The only things that high-grade creatures feared were laws and principles– the deeper applications of power that reached towards the origin of all power.
They could never avoid the laws and principles, let alone reach the level of immunity!
Thus, when two Fourth Grade powerhouses made up their minds to battle, the first things to clash were the elementium laws in their possession.
Fire and void energy!
Neither was superior or inferior. They were both a part of the massive system of power in the multiverse. When the two forces clashed, the primary contest was between the casters’ understanding and mastery of their respective laws, as well as their ability to move the principles using the laws as a lever.
After all, most of their own worlds did not have power systems as complete or powerful as the World of Adepts.
They had only evolved into what they were after tens of thousands of bloody battles, emerging from amongst countless other creatures as the apex predators. They lived in odd, twisted but plentiful worlds, often possessing powerful talents in certain areas. However, the worlds they lived in often had very primal, backward civilizations, if they had any at all.
In truth, this was the condition of most planar worlds!
The powerful civilizations that currently existed in the universe had not come into being naturally. They had all been elevated to their greatness with thousands of years of development.
Countless adepts had stepped out of the World of Adepts, explored the boundless space, searched for rare treasures and resources, conquered innumerable planes, gathered all their essences, and brought them back to the World of Adepts.
This selfish act of raiding that they constantly committed empowered and strengthened the world consciousness of the World of Adepts. The inclusion of foreign resources and knowledge systems allowed the World of Adepts’ planar consciousness to grow continually. In doing so, it gave back to the power system of the world.
Of the major planar worlds, the worlds that had a healthy and comprehensive cultivation system like the World of Adepts–along with proper alchemy techniques and rich resources–were incredibly rare.
Fourth Grade beings like Sand King and Sshina from alien worlds were very likely the most powerful beings in their worlds. However, in the World of Adepts, they were only at the level of elite Fourth Grade adepts.
In fact, neither Sand King nor Sshina could be considered any of the best amongst the elite adepts. They only had exceptional talents in certain areas and aspects of fighting!
That was why the two of them became cautious and fearful in front of this powerful fire adept from the World of Adepts. They were no longer as bold or arrogant as they had been when they first met him.
Meanwhile, even though Tulas believed himself to be just as powerful as Greem himself, he recognized and feared the two origin artifacts he possessed. In all honesty, it was because he didn’t realize Greem’s actual situation that he had suffered such a terrible loss in their exchange earlier.
Greem nearly laughed out loud when he heard Tulas’ venting words. He couldn’t help but reply, “In the World of Adepts, equipment is part of an individual’s power. In fact, it’s a vital component of their power.
“We human adepts do not have the natural Physique of magical creatures or your different species’ unique, innate abilities. What are we supposed to fight all of you with, if not with our equipment? You wouldn’t ask the dragon to cut off its claws, its wings, and then pluck off its scales before you fight it, would you?”
Tulas fell silent.
They had always been the strongest individuals in their homeworlds. Now that they had stepped out of their worlds and witnessed the might of individuals from other planes, it was only natural that they would lose their confidence and become desperate.
“I promised you quite a lot earlier. Why did you not help me, but the lich instead?” A short moment later, Tulas finally asked the question that he wanted answered most.
“Because he possesses a force behind him, while you are only one individual!” Greem smiled. “Putting aside the slight difference in your combat prowess, the benefits I get from helping him is much larger than what I would get from helping you.”
Tulas was once again silent!
“It seems like it’s settled,” Sand King, who had been paying attention to the battle in the palace, suddenly cried out.
Everybody lifted their heads and cast their gaze into the depth of the mists.
