What "invincible at the same level" meant was more due to Fang Ming's personal talent, and had nothing to do with his physique.
The Innate Li Fire Physique, however, was different.
This physique was the foundation created and deduced by Daojun Lu Ya after eighteen chaotic epochs.
Although it was only in its nascent stage, not yet perfected, it had already far surpassed the physique of Pangu, the top-tier chaotic demon god.
Even at the Immortal King realm, this physique surpassed the vast majority of Immortal Kings in terms of physical prowess.
In the Perfect Realm, those possessing the Innate Li Fire Physique were considered destined to be Immortal Kings, with an almost one hundred percent chance of cultivating to the Immortal King realm.
If this physique were perfected, it could even allow one to glimpse the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperors. Success might be uncertain, but cultivating to the level of an Unsurpassed Giant would likely be achievable.
Although Fang Ming did not intend to travel to the myriad worlds of the Sea of Void at this moment.
However, being able to elevate his physique, which represented his innate talent and foundation, to such a level was naturally a great boon to him.
Physique, representing innate talent, was not as directly beneficial as seizing cultivation, but having more of it could never be a bad thing.
Fang Ming found himself in the midst of chaos.
His black hair gradually turned fiery red, cascading down his shoulders in a gentle manner.
A flame divine pattern flickered between his eyebrows.
Clad in a robe with flowing sleeves, he resembled a stunning youth emerging from a sea of fire, the master of the fundamental origin of the Great Dao of Fire.
He commanded all fires!
With a wave of his hand, the Great Dao of Fire submitted!
Compared to the Fire Demon God, Fang Ming at this moment was the true origin of the Great Dao of Fire! He was an existence capable of defining and modifying the Great Dao of Fire at will!
"This appearance leans towards Lu Ya's appearance in his youth..."
Fang Ming almost instantly concealed the flame divine pattern and changed his fiery red long hair back to short black hair.
For a powerful being, changing one's appearance was a trivial matter.
Extremely easy.
Although the Innate Li Fire Physique was overwhelmingly powerful, and its fusion directly altered many fundamental aspects of Fang Ming's appearance.
Yet, if Fang Ming wished to conceal it, it was something he could do in an instant.
In his normal state, Fang Ming retained his original appearance.
If he were to unleash his full power and face a formidable enemy with the Innate Li Fire Physique, the flame divine pattern would naturally manifest on his appearance, making it impossible to hide.
"This is a minor matter... the focus is on cultivation."
Fang Ming paid no mind to such trivialities.
After seizing Lu Ya's physique.
Fang Ming once again used the Energy Converter, this seventeen-star treasure, to convert the energy within Lu Ya's body.
That is to say, Lu Ya's cultivation and realm within his body.
With each inhale and exhale.
The ancient Dao Saint's magic power within Lu Ya's body quickly dropped to a level comparable to that of an ordinary Dao Saint.
Then, it successively descended to the Hunyuan Wuji realm, the Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal realm... Da Luo Golden Immortal... Golden Immortal... and so on.
Not only his magic power, but even Lu Ya's primordial spirit and divine sense, as well as his physical strength, were absorbed by Fang Ming.
The Energy Converter could convert fundamental aspects such as magic power, physique, and primordial spirit and divine sense.
To the Lord of Myriad Realms, anything was merely energy, even the so-called power of the heart, the power of thought, could be attributed to energy.
Naturally, physical strength and bodily toughness were also a form of energy.
Fang Ming's cultivation continued to ascend.
His eternally indestructible primordial spirit had advanced to the domain of the pinnacle Immortal King!
His magic power was boundless, and with a wave of his hand, he could easily obliterate thousands of universes! The magic power of a pinnacle Immortal King was far superior to that of an ordinary Immortal King!
His Immortal King Physique also quickly advanced from the ordinary Immortal King tier to the pinnacle Immortal King tier.
Fang Ming's skin, though appearing as white as jade, revealed upon closer inspection that both its surface and depths were composed of countless Dao runes.
These Dao runes represented the physical strength of a pinnacle Immortal King!
Furthermore, due to the Innate Li Fire Physique, Fang Ming's physique was incredibly powerful, capable of resisting a pinnacle Immortal King with his physical body alone!
"My physique, my physical strength, has finally surpassed my magic power and primordial spirit, ranking first among the three!"
Fang Ming slowly opened his eyes, feeling the power of his physique, which could destroy thousands of universes with a mere movement of his hands.
With a movement of his hands, he could destroy thousands of universes.
The most crucial point was that he could achieve this with his physical body alone.
This was undoubtedly a significant step forward from his previous self.
Physique had long been a weakness for Fang Ming.
This was because the Primordial World lacked tribulations like heavenly lightning. The only ones present were weak tribulations like the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and the Golden Immortal Tribulation.
During his tribulation crossings, Fang Ming had constantly complained that in such a world, even with the same Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, his physical strength would be inferior to the Sacred Body in the World of Cover. This was because without countless trials by heavenly lightning, how could it possibly compare?
This was a constraint imposed by the fundamental conditions!
The lack of frequent heavenly lightning tribulations in the Primordial World had always caused Fang Ming and all humans to have inferior physical strength compared to their counterparts in the World of Cover.
This problem was only resolved later when the Heavenly Network took control of tribulations.
Even Human Emperors eventually had the Emperor Tribulation to temper their physical strength!
However, while the Heavenly Network could simulate the Emperor Tribulation, it could not simulate the Immortal King Tribulation!
In the Perfect Realm, breaking through to the Immortal King realm required enduring the Immortal King Tribulation!
The Immortal King Tribulation, when translated to the Primordial World, was a tribulation that could threaten Dao Saints!
Even though the Heavenly Network controlled all energy, Fang Ming could not simulate such a tribulation—due to insufficient technology! And also due to insufficient energy!
In this chaotic realm, the descent of the Immortal King Tribulation was fundamentally comparable to the consequences of the descent of an immeasurable calamity. The environment was too small, the consequences too severe. Most importantly—the Heavenly Network's technology was insufficient to simulate tribulations of this magnitude.
Therefore, Fang Ming was essentially an Immortal King who had not undergone the Immortal King Tribulation.
This also led to him, despite possessing the Immortal King Physique, being significantly weaker in terms of physique compared to Immortal Kings of the same level.
Among the three aspects of magic power, physique, and primordial spirit, physical strength had always been Fang Ming's deficiency.
But now, after absorbing Daojun Lu Ya's physique, the deficiency no longer existed; instead, it had transformed into an advantage.
Fang Ming's current physique was stronger than his primordial spirit and boundless magic power—capable of resisting a pinnacle Immortal King with his physical body alone.
"It feels almost like a complete transformation..."
After absorbing Daojun Lu Ya's physique, innate talent, and cultivation realm, Fang Ming's combat power had firmly entered the pinnacle Immortal King realm. It felt as if he had cultivated in this realm for many years, and he was not far from breaking through to become an Immortal King Giant.
This was progress in cultivation, or rather, progress in realm.
"How can arduous cultivation compare to cheating?"
"How can it compare to seizing another's power and directly converting it into one's own?"
In the chaos, Daojun Lu Ya's face was pale and bloodless, having had all his cultivation and physique absorbed by Fang Ming.
Meanwhile, Fang Ming's aura was long and sustained, with a mere trace of his power capable of shattering the river of time.
This was the effect brought about by the Energy Converter, a seventeen-star treasure!
For an ordinary Immortal King in the Perfect Realm, advancing from ordinary Immortal King to pinnacle would require at least a million years, with an average of possibly ten million years of cultivation.
