Chapter 3259 Five Tai Assimilation
Many of the original primordial spirits had reached the supreme realm in their previous lives. They had also survived the final catastrophe in their previous lives. In this terrifying river of time, they had defeated countless giants who had achieved the fourth level of perfection.

Therefore, they are very experienced. Having experienced it once, they are not in a hurry at all. They know that they only need to deal with it step by step, and there is still great hope of surviving the disaster.

But in Zhang Qian's opinion, their performance was different. Some of the original spirits made him amazed again and again. Facing the attacks of Emperor Ji and others in this era, they showed the original spirit's magical powers and all means to the fullest.

With every move they made, unparalleled power burst out. Although Emperor Ji and his companions were flawless, they were still defeated under the attacks of many primordial spirits.

Logically speaking, this is impossible. Since Emperor Ji and others are perfect, why can't they be a match for these primordial spirits?
It was not until a long time later that Zhang Qian realized that it was not that Emperor Ji and his men were not strong, but that they had their own limitations. And this limitation was that they were evolved from the source of the Five Great Elements, and although they were perfect to the extreme, they still lacked a kind of spirituality, a spirituality that only living beings have.

And this kind of spirituality is the most important. When Emperor Ji and others display their magical powers and various killing methods, it looks flawless, but there is always a sense of disharmony between the connections.

If a real living being took action, there would not be such a feeling of disharmony. This was not the biggest limitation. The biggest limitation was that the origins of all the giants who had reached the fourth level of perfection in the Dao were not infinite. They stood firm in the long river of time and relied on the origins given to them by the Five Great Sources.

However, their own essence is limited, and once it is exhausted, they will turn into shadows and dissipate. Therefore, even if the person who crosses the tribulation cannot defeat them, as long as he exhausts their essence, he will be considered a winner.

However, this method of victory requires an extremely long time and must be achieved bit by bit. This is why many primordial spirits are not in a hurry or slow.

With these two restrictions, it seems that one can survive the final disaster by just spending a long time, but this is not the case.

Don't forget the number of giants in this long river of ancient times. The number of the four perfect giants evolved from the Five Tai Sources is astonishing, no less than hundreds of millions.

Such a huge number of Dao Four Perfection giants, even if each of them has a limited origin that can be consumed through fighting, the origin of those who are transcending the tribulation is not infinite.

When they are transcending the tribulation, they rely on their own ultimate spiritual light and their own will. Every battle consumes their own essence. Once their own essence is exhausted, the end is failure to transcend the tribulation, death, and complete transformation into nothingness.

This was destined to be a road of despair. Not long after, Zhang Qian saw some primordial spirits exhausting the essence of Emperor Ji and others.

Emperor Ji, Li Qingque and the others quietly dispersed and disappeared. The original spirits that defeated them went upstream in the long river of ancient times, step by step, one level higher, and came to the presence of many perfect giants of the fourth level of Taoism from the previous era.

There were more Taoist masters who had reached the fourth level of perfection in the previous era. Most of them were powerful giants from many ancient sects. They were the foundation or sacrifices that many ancient sects had cultivated with great difficulty.

At this moment, these sacrifices evolved again and turned into weapons to attack many primordial spirits.

This is still good. There is still a part of the original souls that could not even pass the level of Emperor Ji and others. They were besieged and killed by Emperor Ji and others. Their figures disappeared, leaving only the ultimate spiritual light of enlightenment.

Their ultimate spiritual light melted away in the long river of time, and they were completely dead and gone, without even a chance of resurrection.

Such cruel scenes were staged one after another. All the primordial spirits that triggered their own calamities were actually strong people who had devoured many primordial spirits, had a strong origin, and were extremely powerful. However, some people successfully survived the initial calamity, while others fell at the beginning of the long river of time.

In the process of going back through the long river of time, it becomes increasingly difficult for many people who are trying to overcome the tribulation. The energy they have consumed cannot be recovered. If they continue like this, sooner or later they will be exhausted and fail to overcome the tribulation.

Just when Zhang Qian was wondering how they got through this level, one of the primordial spirits told him the answer. This primordial spirit actually endured the attacks of many four-perfect giants, suppressed and bound one of the giants, and then devoured the other one savagely.

During the process of devouring, many killing techniques and supreme magical powers hit him one after another, causing his body to tremble and leaving terrible scars.

These scars are actually branded on their ultimate aura, that is, the damage to the ultimate aura, and this terrible damage is basically irreversible.

The ultimate spiritual light is the basis for the existence of powerful giants and the foundation for the supreme path. Once it is damaged, it will be extremely difficult, or even impossible, to recover.

However, this primordial spirit would rather endure the damage of the ultimate spiritual light than devour a giant who has reached the fourth level of perfection in Taoism.

It's a loss no matter how you look at it.

But the next moment Zhang Qian knew why the other party did this. After devouring a Taoist master of the fourth level, all the injuries of this scarred primordial spirit were instantly healed. His strength and his origin skyrocketed, and the great power that burst out from his every move was also greatly enhanced.

“So that’s how it is. Devouring the four perfect giants in the long river of time can actually repair the damage of the ultimate spiritual light and even restore one’s own strength. In this way, in this ultimate catastrophe, you only need to devour enough four perfect giants to maintain your peak state.

Since even the damage to the Ultimate Aura can be restored, there is no need to worry about anything. It can be overcome by just spending a long time. But is the truth really that simple? This is the ultimate calamity!"

Zhang Qian was puzzled. After a long time, he saw more primordial spirits devouring the four perfect giants in the eternal river of time to recover from their injuries and increase their strength, and slowly discovered clues.

He discovered that all the original souls that had devoured the giants in the long river, while recovering from their injuries, their ultimate aura was also tainted with other energy, and this energy belonged to the source of the Five Tai, the most fundamental of the Five Tai!
That is to say, while devouring the giants in the long river and restoring itself, it is also in the process of being assimilated by the Source of the Five Tai. If too many giants are devoured, the ultimate aura of the person who is undergoing the tribulation will be completely assimilated by the Source of the Five Tai, and then return to the Five Tai.

What will be the fate of returning to the Fifth Lady?
Just look at the strong and powerful people in Yuanyang Sect and you will know that the greatest spiritual achievement of the strong and powerful people in Yuanyang Sect is to return to the eternal origin. They practice all their lives, and what they hope most is to return to the eternal origin.

And returning to the Everlasting Origin was nothing but a scam of the Everlasting Supreme, who wanted them to be sacrificed willingly. The end of returning to the Everlasting Origin was to become the original power and become the basis for the resurrection of the Everlasting Supreme.

In the ultimate catastrophe, the result of being assimilated by the Five Tai Sources is almost the same. One will be transformed into the Five Tai Qi in the Five Tai Sources, no longer a living being, and become a part of the Five Tai Qi.
