Chapter 1316 : Mystical-level Supernatural Power

After Eldrin's deduction, once he refined the 5 types of supreme source qi and advanced further into the Heaven-Opening Realm, the convergence of these 5 source qi would form the Primordial Chaos Qi. This would elevate him to the realm of profound divine abilities, granting him immense power.

The cultivation prerequisites for this divine ability are exceptionally demanding. 1 must possess at least 5 spiritual roots and master the 5 elemental laws before even reaching the threshold to practice this art.

However, Eldrin had mastered the Primordial Chaos Infinite Law, fulfilling the prerequisite for cultivating this divine ability, making his cultivation process surprisingly straightforward.

For this supreme-grade source qi was, in its very essence, the purest and most refined substance, making it the easiest to refine.

Eldrin channeled the power of 5 supreme laws, refining 5 types of supreme-grade source qi simultaneously with astonishing speed.

In merely 5 100 years, he had completely refined the 5 supreme source energies, cultivating the Primordial Chaos Qi to the Realm of Heaven's Genesis.

"It's done!"

Having cultivated the Primordial Chaos Qi to the Heaven-Opening Realm, Eldrin felt a subtle sense of reassurance settle within his heart.

After some experimentation, he discovered that the Primordial Chaos Qi had undergone a qualitative transformation, with the potency of both divine abilities contained within it greatly enhanced.

By his estimation, with his current level of magical power, if he were to encounter the Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon Ancestor again, the might of his Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand alone would be sufficient to completely subdue it.

Once the Primordial Chaos Qi True Aura was activated, he dared not claim it could withstand a late-stage Earth Immortal's assault. However, if a mid-stage Earth Immortal were to attack with a mid-grade immortal treasure, it likely wouldn’t even breach his defenses.

"As expected of a Mystique-level divine ability. With such a power at my disposal, even against a late-stage Earth Immortal, I should be able to hold my ground for about 10 moves, rather than being completely defenseless."

"A pity my spiritual power is insufficient, making prolonged combat difficult—after all, I still cannot match a late-stage Earth Immortal." Eldrin murmured under his breath, a faint tinge of regret welling up in his heart.

Though he had broken through to the Ninth Tribulation Immortal realm, his magic power had been tempered by the Primordial Chaos Infinite laws. Both its purity and profundity had doubled, reaching the level of an early-stage Earth Immortal.

Yet, the mere early-stage Earth Immortal level magic power was far from sufficient to contend with a late-stage Earth Immortal.

Most Earth Immortals at the early stage have only opened 2 or 3 layers of their celestial apertures, while those at the late stage possess at least 5 or 6 unveiled layers.

The additional realm, combined with a cultivation gap of 6 or 7 levels, was more than enough to create a vast chasm in their magical power.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, a first-level Earth Immortal likely possessed less than 1-fifth—perhaps not even 1-sixth—of the magical power wielded by a seventh-level Earth Immortal.

However, if an Earth Immortal at the seventh level opened the Seventh Heaven, while others reached the Eighth Heaven or even the Ninth Heaven, this gap would continue to widen.

The disparity was simply too vast—so vast that even if 10 ordinary early-stage Earth Immortal Patriarchs joined forces, they would likely still be no match for a single Earth Immortal Seventh Layer Patriarch.

Unless among these 10 early-stage Earth Immortals, there were 1 or 2 with mid-stage Earth Immortal combat prowess—only then would they stand a chance against a late-stage Earth Immortal.

Yet even so, 10 early-stage Earth Immortals joining forces could at most hold back a single seventh-level Earth Immortal—utterly incapable of slaying 1. Should they lose even 1 or 2 comrades by the slightest misstep, the remaining cultivators would be crushed by the late-stage Earth Immortal’s overwhelming power.

"My combat prowess is not weak, but alas, my magic power merely rivals that of an early-stage Earth Immortal—still far from sufficient."

Eldrin sighed inwardly, a trace of regret coloring his thoughts.

His magical power was roughly comparable to that of a first-level Earth Immortal at the Second Heaven. Even with the addition of his life-bound spiritual treasure, the Ren Water Blue Lotus Platform, his strength only reached approximately that of an Earth Immortal at the Third Heaven.

This amount of spiritual power is roughly only 1-fourth to 1-fifth of what a late-stage Earth Immortal possesses. While it might suffice for ordinary skirmishes, it would prove truly inadequate in a life-or-death battle.

Back then, You Tai'ao's combat prowess was nearly on par with Eldrin (Person Name). By all reasoning, Eldrin (Person Name) should have found it extremely difficult to slay him. The reason he ultimately succeeded in killing You Tai'ao lay in his possession of the Mistwater Azure Lotus Throne (Magic Treasure), which granted him a depth of magical power far surpassing that of You Tai'ao.

In the final clash, You Tai'ao exhausted all his spiritual power, becoming as defenseless as fish on a chopping board. He met an utterly humiliating end at the hands of Eldrin (Person Name).

"Alas, the supreme-grade immortal treasure-level Nen Water Blue Lotus Platform only stores an amount of magical power comparable to half a First-Level Earth Immortal. For my current needs, it is still insufficient."

"If it can advance to a Heaven-Opening Treasure and increase its stored immortal essence by another threefold, perhaps then it will provide me with sufficient magical power."

Eldrin murmured to himself, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

If the Ren Shui Qing Lian Tai were to advance once more, Eldrin's depth of magical power would likely reach a level comparable to that of a mid-stage Earth Immortal, roughly equivalent to half of an Earth Immortal's seventh layer.

By then, even if I couldn't match a late-stage Earth Immortal, I would at least be able to hold my ground for a while instead of having to think about fleeing after just a few moves.

However, advancing to a Heaven-Opening Treasure required the exceedingly rare Primordial Chaos Qi. Although his Primordial Purple Qi could serve as a substitute, he currently possessed no surplus of it.

Over the years, all of his Primordial Purple Qi had been channeled into advancing the more crucial Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), leaving none to spare now.

"1 can't make bricks without straw. My mana is insufficient; I must break through to the Earth Immortal realm before I can truly resolve this."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a trace of regret coloring his expression.

He let out a sigh, setting the thought aside, then stepped out of the seclusion chamber.

As soon as he stepped out of the seclusion chamber, he sensed a formidable aura surging from a grand hall in the distance, where boundless starlight and crystalline radiance converged like flowing glass.

"That is..."

Eldrin murmured, his eyes revealing a flicker of astonishment.

Outside the seclusion chamber, Lila had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Eldrin emerge, she immediately said, "That's the main hall where Daoist Tianfeng has been in seclusion. Judging by his aura, he must have achieved a breakthrough."

"So that's how it is."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, a trace of serenity flashing in his eyes.

During the previous great battle, Daoist Tianfeng had contributed immensely, and thus his rewards were equally substantial. Having long since gathered the 4 Extremes Pillars and lacking no supreme immortal treasures, he exchanged for 2 pinnacle Dao Origins.

It now appeared that Daoist Tianfeng had already refined 2 Sources of the Dao, his aura even stepping into the realm of a 6 Calamity Immortal.

"When he emerges from seclusion, he should have broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, ready to perform the world-shattering feat of cleaving heaven and earth."

Eldrin murmured softly, his eyes flickering slightly as if struck by a sudden thought. He then stepped forward, arriving before the hall of Daoist Tianfeng, and waited silently for the master's emergence from seclusion.

"Alliance Leader." "Eldrin." "Master."

Just as he arrived outside the great hall, Eldrin heard several voices calling out greetings.

He looked up and saw that it was none other than the assembled immortals: 6-Cycle (Person Name), Skyfeather (Person Name), Void-Refining (Person Name), and the Wind-Fire-Thunder Ape (Spirit Beast).

After years apart, each of them had reaped tremendous gains. The Stormfire Thunder Ape, Tianyu, and the 2 Void Refiners had all reached the Ninth Heaven of Ascendant Immortal realm, while Sixstar Immortal had even stepped into the Half-Step Earth Immortal stage.

In addition, there were also the various immortals of the Violet Realm, such as Lin Tianqi (Person Name), the Lord of the Dao Palace (Person Name), the Great Sage Kunpeng (Person Name), and the Misty Snow Palace Master (Person Name), all of whom had reached the seventh or eighth level of Ascendant Immortal Realm.

Even his old friend from a past life, Varen (Person Name), had now cultivated to the Sixth Ascension Realm. Not only had he regained the memories of his former life, but he had also mastered the laws and achieved the Dao Fruit. He now held the promise of becoming an Earth Immortal in the future, with a trace of the bearing of a Celestial Immortal.
