Chapter 1352 : Abyssal Genesis

As long as they secluded themselves in cultivation for several 100 1000 years and broke through to the mid-stage Earth Immortal realm, it would be difficult for others to bully them through sheer power disparity.

Thus, throughout the world, 9-Tribulation Immortals are exceedingly rare.

Only during the outbreak of each great tribulation could multiple 9-Tribulation Immortals briefly emerge. Yet these 9-Tribulation Immortals would vanish as swiftly as they appeared, soon ascending to the realm of Earth Immortals.

At this thought, Eldrin sighed and said, "The Origin of the 9 Calamities Dao is truly a rarity in this world."

"Antagonistic ninth-tribulation immortals like Eldrin (Person Name) are exceedingly rare—scarcely 1 in 10 1000. You must still prepare yourself for arduous cultivation to condense the Path Initiation Dao Fruit."

At this point, Eldrin's gaze flickered briefly, yet in the end, he fell silent.

He knew full well that the Great Tribulation was a calamity, yet also a heavenly opportunity of immense proportions.

The Great Cataclysm erupted, and immortals vied for supremacy.

The outcome of this great tribulation would inevitably see immortals falling like rain, yet in the end, some were destined to rise above the rest and forge their own path to the heavens.

"The great tribulation has yet to reach its culmination. Perhaps there is room for maneuvering."

"But the final outcome would depend on fate and destiny."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, ultimately suppressing the thought.

He set aside his thoughts and turned his gaze toward Lyra (Person Name).

After so many years apart, Lyra had finally refined the Dao Origin of the Celestial Prison Master, condensing it into a flawless Dao Fruit.

The Dao Fruit of an immortal is the culmination of a lifetime of cultivation. Its strength varies greatly, depending entirely on the foundation 1 has laid.

Lyra (Person Name) had mastered the Great 5 Elements Infinite Rule and attained the supreme Primordial Chaos True Body of the Lunar Immortal Physique. The Dao Fruit she condensed was naturally incomparably powerful.

She condensed the Primordial Dao Fruit, simultaneously infused with the power of the Lunar Immortal Physique and the Great 5 Elements Pure Yin laws. Named the 'Great 5 Elements Lunar Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit,' it stood as 1 of the most formidable Dao Fruits in existence.

The power contained within such a Dao Fruit enabled Lyra's 3 Primordial Foundations to merge and interconnect, unleashing an unprecedented supreme force that propelled her into the forbidden realm.

Moreover, Eldrin sensed that Lyra had ventured far into the forbidden realm of power, possessing strength that even surpassed his own.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but murmur in astonishment, "Lyra has condensed a flawless Dao Fruit and stepped into the forbidden realm. I fear her foundation has already surpassed mine."

"After all these years, my cultivation has finally surpassed yours once more."

Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. The last time her cultivation had surpassed Eldrin (Person Name) was back when they were both at the Nascent Soul stage.

Ever since the 2 of them stepped into the Nascent Soul stage, Eldrin's talent gradually began to shine. From that point onward, her strength had unknowingly fallen half a step behind.

This time, she condensed her Dao Fruit ahead of Eldrin, finally surpassing him once more.

After condensing the Great 5 Elements Yin Limitless Dao Fruit, her foundation not only stepped into the forbidden realm but had advanced far along this path.

By her estimation, the purity of her current spiritual power surpassed Eldrin's Primordial Chaos energy by a third, and her mastery over it far exceeded his control.

It could be said that in terms of foundational strength and cultivation level alone, Lyra (Person Name) had already surpassed Eldrin (Person Name).

However, Eldrin had mastered the Profound Mystery-grade Heaven-Splitting Divine Art, the Primordial Chaos Qi, making his techniques somewhat superior to Lyra's. Thus, in terms of overall combat prowess, Eldrin held a slight edge.

After all, foundation and cultivation are merely the base. To fully unleash 1's potential, 1 must possess sufficient means.

Unless Lyra (Person Name) had cultivated a Mystic-grade divine ability or refined a supreme Heaven-Opening Treasure (Magic Treasure), she would be unable to fully unleash her combat prowess.

At this thought, Eldrin mused and said, "In a few days, when Daoist Tianyuan completes his Heaven Opening, the Profound Yin Heaven-Slaying Sword will be entrusted to you for refinement."

"Hmm."

Lyra nodded without declining.

Eldrin's current cultivation base was still insufficient; simultaneously wielding 2 superior-grade Heaven-Opening Treasures was actually quite a strain.

She had now stepped into the forbidden realm, capable of activating a supreme-grade Heaven-Sundering Artifact. Distributing 1 such artifact between them would instead enhance their combined combat prowess.

Having settled the matter, Eldrin spoke again, "The immortals within the Celestial Alliance have now emerged from seclusion 1 after another."

"When the Abyssal Daoist breaks through, we shall discuss our next course of action."

Qing Ji also gave a slight nod and said calmly, “It’s perfect timing that we’ve just emerged from seclusion. We might as well witness his act of splitting the heavens.”

"Let us witness the hardships of opening the 9 Heavens, so we may grasp the scale of this endeavor and make better preparations for our own ascension to the heavens in days to come."

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded and smiled as well. "A cycle of 60 years isn't too long."

A cycle of 60 years could already be considered a long and substantial lifetime.

Yet for an immortal, it was but the span of a brief nap.

Since the great calamity erupted, everyone's spirits had been stretched taut in the relentless warfare, leaving Eldrin no opportunity for intimate moments with his several wives.

Now that he finally had a chance to unwind, Eldrin found himself in a leisurely mood and decided to join his several wives in pursuing the great path of dual cultivation.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, 60 years had passed.

That day, Eldrin emerged from his cave abode and arrived at the Return Abyss Sea with his several wives, only to discover Daoist Tianyuan already there, slowly inhaling and exhaling immortal spiritual energy.

To the side, Sun Ji, the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, Kael (Person Name), and other immortals had been waiting for a long while, all clearly eager to witness the act of a 9 Calamity Immortal tearing open the heavens.

Seeing this, Eldrin immediately walked over and asked with a smile, "Brother Tianyuan, how are you feeling?"

His magic power was perfectly harmonized, his vital energy surged with immense vigor, and his spiritual sea remained flawless.

Elder Tianyuan spoke calmly, "Now is the time for the breakthrough."

As the words faded, a rift tore open in the void, and the boundless expanse of the ethereal dimension gradually manifested before the crowd.

"I, the Daoist of the Celestial Abyss, have cultivated for 8 100 10 1000 years."

"Today, I shall attempt the Heaven-Parting Ascension. Fellow Daoists are all welcome to bear witness."

As the void tore open, Daoist Tianyuan slowly spoke, stepping into it with a hint of heroic ambition.

The immortals promptly followed suit, none willing to miss the monumental feat of a 9-Calamity Immortal tearing open the heavens.

Eldrin (Person Name) witnessed this and likewise stepped leisurely into it. There, within the boundless void, a light reminiscent of the dawn of chaos emerged.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, Daoist Tianyuan struck.

He did not summon any of his divine treasures, merely manifested his primordial true form spanning billions of feet. With a single earth-shattering punch, the void and chaos erupted, tearing open endless stretches of primordial chaos.

With only the strength of his physical body, the Daoist of the Returning Abyss cleaved through 1 layer of heaven and earth in a single strike.

"So strong."

The assembled immortals gasped in astonishment, their expressions tinged with reverence.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod. This Abyssal Daoist truly lived up to being a 9-Tribulation Immortal. With physical strength alone, he could rival a full-force strike from a mid-stage Earth Immortal—a truly rare feat.

Boom…

Meanwhile, after opening up a new realm, Daoist Tianyuan still possessed not insignificant reserves of power.

With pure physical strength alone, he cleaved through the endless void, tearing open 3 layers of heaven and earth before finally ceasing.
