Si Meihui paused briefly before smiling at him: "Who am I if not Si Meihui?"
"You're the Serpent Boulder Empress, Li Chuntao, but that's not your only identity, right?" Wang Wei asked.
"Keep going," her smile intensified.
"You're probably one of the most unique cultivators I have seen," Wang Wei commented. "The Heaven Nether Serpent is an extinct ancient Primordial Lifeform that should have been on par with Fiendgods. It's one of the few ways someone can instantly re-establish their foundation, rewalk the Eternal Path, or change their Dao, as its blessing allows a cultivator to experience a unique form of Samsara similar to rest without any punishment or side-effect.
"You must have found a remnant of the Heavenly Nether Serpent and combined it with your Nine Serpent Monarch Bloodline."
"You've even noticed that?"
"I met someone with the Nine Serpent Monarch bloodline, so I'm familiar with it," Wang Wei replied. He had secretly observed and studied Ye Dafu's wife, the Noble Serpent Empress, in the lower dimension.
"What else did you see?" Lu Chuntao asked, her smile remaining the same. freewebnøvel.com
"The way you perfectly combine these powers is brilliant. You used the concept that names have power and cultivated Name Dao. Each name you choose is a different personality, individual life experience, and unique Dao created from the unique Samsara of the Heavenly Nether Serpent; you also choose a unique bloodline.
"Lu Chuntao was created from the Primordial Earth Serpent and uses Earth Dao. Si Meihui should be the personality who has cultivated the Lust Dao. If I guess correctly, she should have the Primal Lust Serpent Bloodline from the Six Desires Seven Emotions Serpent Family."
"You were able to learn and deduce all of this in just a few seconds of battle? Your brilliant mind makes me want you even more," Li Chuntao said with burning eyes of passion. "Unfortunately for you, your attempt at stalling and secretly trying to influence my soul to a more agreeable personality is pointless.
"They are all me, and I am them. They are not different personalities, but more like alternative versions of myself with one mind and serve one purpose."
"Well, I had to try," Wang Wei sighed. Assuming she was a Primal Paragon, he could not approach this battle as he did the others. So, without hesitation, he popped the Unsoiled Body Pill and summoned the weapon the Blacksmith Flame and the Poison Demoness made for him: a purple spear. Additionally, he also connected to his Grand Constructs: Source Qi Space, Samsara, River of Time, and River of Fate.
"So, you want to get serious, huh? Fine by me," Li Chuntao said as her body changed. Her armor changed into a proper black robe, her trident turned into a saber, and her eyes released lightning.
"How about I let Lei Ehuang play with you?" she chuckled. She disappeared, leaving a trail of lightning in her path. As soon as Lei Ehuang reached Wang Wei, she slashed her saber with unparalleled force, forcing him to hold his spear with both hands to block her.
His body was forced a few meters into the sky, but he held on. 'The Devouring Lightning Serpent bloodline,' Wang Wei complained. It was another Primordial Life Form born in Primordial Chaos, with the power of Primordial Lightning and a bit of Devouring Dao. With that one attack, Wang Wei felt a bit of strength was devoured, weakening him slightly.
'Is this the strength of a Primal?' he thought. He noticed that Lei Ehuang did not need to manually connect to other Grand Constructs like him: it was natural for her. Additionally, while he had a connection to four, she only had access to two: Primordial Chaos and the Grand Dao Source.
Of course, all these requirements are the bare minimum to become a Primal. There is a difference between Primals. Things like how many Unique Skills they have, how they use them, and their control over Grand Constructs determine how powerful they are when they face each other.
"Unfortunately, you have too many weaknesses," Lei Ehuang shook her head. "Your soul is incomplete, meaning you'll be drained after using such potent techniques. And even if your soul was complete, without the nourishment from Heaven and Earth for the [Primal Title], you probably couldn't use more than 10 attacks.
"The Unsoiled Body Pill can only protect you for a few more minutes against my True Will, and while you're excellent at protecting your Time Mark, you're still far away from mastering a unique technique at finding others.
"The spear is a Primal Artifact and should have boosted your techniques, but it's obvious you're not used to using weapons to fight, preventing you from using its full power. Little boy, you're no match for even an ordinary Primal Paragon, let alone me."
Lei Ehuang admitted she was a late bloomer. She became a Primal near the end of the Second Origin War and hid the truth to protect herself. However, her time during the Seven Moon Era immensely benefited her. While her cultivation had reduced in the early stages, she experienced her last Samsara and used this opportunity to build a personality dedicated to creating unique techniques to increase her strength among Primals.
Wang Wei looked at the spear. The Flame Blacksmith is nowhere near the level of building such a weapon, but he succeeded with the Nourishing Power from the trial. However, Lei Ehuang's words were correct, at least partially.
"And one more thing," Lei Ehuang said gleefully. "Did you really think you could poison me?" Her robe changed to a dark green, and her lipstick and nail polish changed from a light pink to dark purple. Lei Ehuang, or no, now, the Poison Consort, opened her mouth to swallow the invisible and undetectable poison in her body and the surroundings.
"Hmm, whoever made this poison is talented, but their cultivation is weak and relies on foreign forces to boost its potency. Unfortunately, their understanding of that foreign force is also limited."
Wang Wei sighed. He could admit he now had an understanding of how powerful Primal Paragons were. 'Let's hope Plan B works.'
