Meng Lin's eyes fluttered open and she found herself immersed in a stunning, cosmic tableau that was both fascinating and terrifying at the same time.

Below her was a platform of golden light that acted as a shield against the wild variety of auras that surrounded the area.

“This is” Meng Lin asked quiet confused, she had never seen or heard of this, it was as if they were in a sea of boundless energies.

“The Primeval Sea, it’s the passage to other realms, it’s filled with primal energy and chaotic power," Luang Chen finished Meng Lin's sentence, his voice filled with emotion and nostalgia. "It is said to be the birthplace of realms, where the forces of creation and destruction constantly collide."

Meng Lin took a moment to look at Luang Chen, noticing a different emotion in his voice.

The Primeval Sea stretched out endlessly, its didn’t look like a sea but more like an ethereal tapestry woven with a myriad of energies, each unique and pulsating with its terrifying rhythm.

BOOM!!! A terrifying storm of white splendor passed by the golden platform, illuminating the aura of countless energies within the storm.

Luang Chen's voice barely carried over the deafening roar of the storm. "A spatial storm, these are acclamations of spatial fractures that lead to different realms”

As the storm passed by Meng Lin tightened her grip on the Realm Breaking Crystal and continued to look in awe. It was a sight that not many had the privilege to witness, yet the beauty of the spectacle was equally matched by its inherent danger.

If they were not within the confines of the golden light then they would have undoubtedly been dead.

Meng Lin could see hundreds, maybe even thousands, of different energy strands, scattered across the vast expanse like a galaxy of radiant stars.

She felt a variety of qi within the sea. Fire, water, wind, lighting, earth and even unconventional energies like sand and dust.

They twinkled and shimmered, casting an otherworldly glow that illuminated the void around them. Each strand was an entity unto itself, a pulsating beacon of raw, untempered power that was both awe-inspiring and intimidating.

Looking into the far distance, Meng Lin could see a spatial storm enveloped by a golden light, the same golden light that surrounded them, the platform was moving towards that storm, leading them to their destination.

Even as she stood faraway from the stands, she could feel the raw, untempered power in each strand of raw energy “ it sure is mesmerizing”

Luang Chen looked at her with a hint of pity before turning to gaze at the chaotic scene, his memories recalling a certain moment. “ There was once a man at the Ascension Realm who braved the Primeval Sea.”

“Ascension Realm?” Meng Lin asked, her curiosity piqued. "What is the Ascension Realm?"

Luang Chen paused for a moment, his eyes distant as he delved into the depths of his memories. "The Ascension Realm?”he asked, his voice a mix of confusion and frustration, "i don’t know”

Meng Lin blinked in surprise. She had never seen Luang Chen at a loss for words before.

"You don't know?" she repeated, her voice filled with curiosity and concern. "But you mentioned the Ascension Realm earlier. How can you not know?"

Luang Chen sighed, his gaze fixed on the swirling energies of the Primeval Sea. "The Ascension Realm is a cultivation realm shrouded in mystery," he explained, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "It is a realm that exists beyond our current understanding, a realm where mortals become something more, transcending the limitations of their mortal forms."

Meng Lin became quiet as she once again felt the emotion in Luang Chen’s voice, her mind was racing with questions.

"The man who braved the Primeval Sea," Luang Chen resumed, his eyes dazed, "had reached the pinnacle of the Ascension Realm. He was a legendary figure, revered and feared by many for his unparalleled strength and ruthlessness."

Meng Lin's gaze turn serious as she fixed on Luang Chen. "Legend has it that this man possessed an unparalleled understanding of the energy strands within the Primeval Sea," Luang Chen continued. "He was able to navigate through the treacherous spatial storms and channel the raw power within each energy strand, using it to transcend his limits and unlock the shackles of the Immortal Realms.”

As Luang Chen spoke, Meng Lin couldn’t help but hold a confuse expression, she couldn’t understand why Luang Chen was telling her this.

Luang Chen's voice grew somber, "such power came at a great cost. The chaotic energies of the Primeval Sea took a toll on his physical body, slowly eroding his vitality and sanity."

Meng Lin felt a pang of sympathy for the man. To sacrifice so much in pursuit of power was a fate both tragic and cautionary.

"Eventually," Luang Chen concluded, his voice filled with a mix of admiration and sadness, "the man disappeared, consumed by the very energies he sought to master. His legacy, however, lives on as a reminder of the dangers that lie within the Primeval Sea."

, "Luang Chen," she began, her voice filled with curiosity and determination, "why are you telling me this”

Luang Chen's eyes met hers, and for a moment, there was a flicker of vulnerability before he composed himself. "Meng Lin," he said softly, his voice tinged with a mix of sadness and determination.

“Do you know the Physique I posses”Meng Lin looked at Luang Chen, her thoughts in shambles, suddenly her eyes widened, “you mean”

Luang Chen nodded, “that’s right, I possess the Primordial Sea Physique,"

"Luang Chen, what are you going to do?" Meng Lin asked, confused and concerned at the same time.

Without answering, Luang Chen abruptly pulled out a crystal orb identical to the realm breaking crystal, his eyes reflected a strange light and he crushed the orb within his hand.

Before Meng Lin could react, her eyes widened as the protective golden glow around them began to crack like glass.

"Luang Chen, you…!" Meng Lin cried out, but her words were drowned out by the deafening sound of the spatial storms around them.

RUMBLE!!!!

Immediately entering her Brute Qi stage Meng Lin was assaulted by a loud explosion that shook the very fabric of the Primeval Sea.

At the center of the explosion was Luang Chen, who stood with his body radiating an overwhelming aura that went beyond comprehension.

His physique, already strong and imposing, seemed to be transforming under the influence of the chaotic energies of the Primeval Sea.

Luang Chen's body began to glow, the radiant light enveloping his entire form. The energies of the Primeval Sea seemed to be drawn towards him, swirling around him in a vortex of raw power.

The sight was both awe-inspiring and terrifying, a testament to the terrifying power of the Primordial Sea Physique.

But that was the last thing in Meng Lin’s mind, the moment the Realm Breaking Crystal was broken Meng Lin didn’t even have a chance to process anything as she was swept away in the swirling chaos of the Primeval Sea.

The raw energies enveloped her, and she felt her Brute qi draining at an unimaginable level, she tried to struggle against the currents, however she was suddenly swept away into a large spatial storm.

In that moment, fear and confusion filled Meng Lin’s heart. She reached out with her left hand and tighten her grip onto the Realm Breaking Crystal in her right hand.

She was desperately searching for something, however her timer ran out and she was forced out of her brute qi stage.

Rumble

Meng Lin's scream were drowned by the chaotic energies ripping through her defenses. Her body felt weightless, lost and consumed by the vast emptiness around her.

She fought to maintain her grip on the Realm Breaking Crystal, her lifeline in this treacherous sea. But her strength was rapidly fading, her consciousness slipping into oblivion.

"Luang Chen..." she managed to whisper, her voice barely a ripple in the storm. Her mind was filled with echoes of their conversations, of his warning about the dangers of the Primeval Sea. She felt a pang of regret - had she understood him better, could this have been avoided?

The chaotic energies roared around her, the spatial storm swallowing her whole. The last thing she saw was the distant glow of Luang Chen in the heart of the Primeval Sea, his figure shrinking into a speck of light before the darkness consumed her vision.

Then, there was silence.

The golden aura of the Realm Breaking Crystal flickered and faded, reduced to a dim glow in the heart of the storm. Meng Lin's body was nowhere to be seen, her existence seemingly erased by the terrifying power of the Primeval Sea.

All that remained was the spatial storm that continued to sweep through the Primeval Sea.

"Goodbye, Meng Lin," a voice echoed in the emptiness. It was Luang Chen, his voice heavy with sad and callous ruthlessness.

He stood alone in the Primeval Sea, his figure glowing with an ethereal light. "Now, the Immortal Planes”

With those final words, Luang Chen turned and plunged into another spatial storm, disappearing from sight, and the Primeval Sea returned to its chaotic dance of energies.
