Chapter 1358 : Taiyi Condensing Evil Art

Seeing this, the Heavenly Glaze Patriarch immediately smiled and said, "This is not a suitable place for lengthy discussion. Esteemed Senior, please follow me."

The 4 of them arrived at the welcoming pavilion, and Eldrin inquired, "With a full 5 half-step Earth Immortal deities laying siege, the divine clans surrounding the Sky Glaze Sea are unexpectedly this formidable."

"Alas."

Elder Tianli couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this. "The Tianli Sea borders the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea, so the formidable foes we face are naturally anything but ordinary."

You must understand, the Myriad Tribulation Thunder Sea is the very birthplace of the thunder tribulation deities of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea.

As the Ancient Sky Glass Elder recounted the tale in a measured tone, Eldrin gradually came to understand the circumstances of this place.

This great calamity facing the Celestial Glaze Sect originated from the 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Sea.

The Sea of Myriad Tribulations, 1 of the most renowned domains within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, is a convergence point for boundless heavenly thunder tribulations.

It is said that within the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea lies a supreme-grade thunder-attribute blessed land known as the Abyss of 10 1000 Calamities.

Within the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Abyss, there were a dozen or so Earth Immortal Patriarchs launching attacks, among them 3 at the late Earth Immortal stage, along with the master of the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Abyss—the Extinction Thunder God.

Legend has it that the Thunder God of Eternal Silence possessed unparalleled talent, a terrestrial immortal at the Great Perfection stage who had opened 8 heavenly layers. His sole purpose for undergoing this heavenly tribulation was to advance 1 step further into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm.

An Earth Immortal at the Great Perfection stage who had opened 8 layers of celestial apertures?

Eldrin's heart sank slightly upon hearing this.

Over 70,000 years had passed since his ascension, and Eldrin had gained some understanding of the immortal realm. However, due to existing information barriers, he previously knew little about the top-tier Earth Immortals of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea.

They only knew that the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Sea was a famous forbidden ground within the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, yet none had imagined its power would be so overwhelming.

A terrestrial immortal who had opened 8 layers of the heavens, once undoubtedly a 9 Tribulations Immortal-level existence—such foundational strength was simply incomparable to the Lord of 1000 Dragon Lake.

Such an existence must have cultivated 3 types of World-Forging Foundations, each perfected to their absolute zenith.

With such astonishing combat prowess, 1 could hardly claim to contend with a half-step Celestial Immortal, but it was nearly impossible for anyone to challenge him across realms.

Even if 10 Earth Immortals of the seventh layer like the master of 1000 Dragon Lake were to join forces, they would likely stand no chance against this Annihilating Thunder God.

Eldrin's current combat prowess could not even match that of the 1000 Dragons Lake Lord. Should he cross blades with this individual, he likely wouldn't last 3 moves.

At this thought, Eldrin exchanged a glance with Lyra before speaking, "You said the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder God entered the tribulation to break through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm. So where is the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder God now?"

They were in the Spirit Abyss Sea, locked in years of fierce battle against the Bright Abyss Blessed Land.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

The Lingyuan Sea Region is also extraordinary, said to be a renowned and powerful blessed land within the Western Mist Divine Abyss Sea. It is rumored to be guarded by 9 Earth Immortals, among whom 2 even possess combat prowess at the late Earth Immortal stage.

Existence.

The Lord of the Abyssal Sea, "Abyssal Daoist," was a Ninth-Level Earth Immortal. However, he had only opened 7 layers of heaven and earth and cultivated merely 2 types of World-Founding Foundations. His strength paled in comparison to the formidable foundation of the Nirvana Thunder God.

At this thought, Eldrin inquired further to confirm the overall situation in the surrounding sea regions before finally bidding farewell to the crowd of the Tianli Sea Region.

Before parting, the woman in turmeric robes offered a slight bow to Eldrin and produced a jade slip. "Years ago, when you honored the Sky Glaze Sea Region with your presence, Senior, you sought to obtain the secret technique from me."

"However, this method is the foundation upon which I've built my life and livelihood, which is why I declined the senior's offer back then."

"Senior, you have now saved my life. To express my gratitude for this profound kindness, I present this treasure to you today. I sincerely hope you will not refuse it."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a faint stirring in his heart.

Little did he expect that the secret technique he had once yearned for in vain was now being personally delivered to him by Jiang Huangyi (Person Name).

At this thought, Eldrin gave a slight nod and said, "Your consideration is appreciated."

Taking the jade slip in hand, Eldrin said nothing more.

He bid farewell to the 2, then soared out of 5 Thunder Immortal Island with Lyra (Person Name).

After leaving the 5 Thunder Immortal Islands, Eldrin examined the secret technique recorded within the jade slip, his eyes gleaming with intrigue as he remarked, "This method is truly profound and extraordinary."

Lyra could not help but taking a glance, then remarked unprompted, "This Jiang Huangyi (Person Name) does possess some talent, yet it is a pity her foundation lacks that final half-measure."

It turned out that Jiang Huangyi’s technique was divided into 2 parts: the upper section was called the "Great Unity Art of Condensing Evil," while the lower section was named the "Great Unity Way of Forging Soldiers."

Among these 2 texts, the first scroll contained the legacy Jiang Huangyi had attained upon her early enlightenment, while the second scroll was her own completion and refinement based on the original. Both scrolls were amplification secret arts.

Among the 2 secret arts, the first scroll contained a method for condensing baleful energy.

This technique can amplify the potency of supernatural powers. For instance, if Eldrin (Person Name)'s Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder were to be fused with 5 types of baleful energies through this method, it would transform into the 'Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder Baleful Aura'.

Depending on the amount of baleful qi infused, the might of the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder would receive varying degrees of amplification.

In theory, if enough baleful energy could be integrated, the upper limit of the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder's power could potentially be amplified by 50 percent under extreme circumstances.

Of course, this Great Monad Condensing Stigma Art also had its limitations—it could only be applied to offensive supernatural powers.

If it were to merge with the 5 Elements Divine Light, the baleful aura would not only fail to enhance its power but would instead render the divine light heavier, thereby diminishing its potency.

The lower volume, the Way of Taiji Artifact Refining, was a unique secret art that Jiang Huangyi had comprehended based on the Taiji Condensing Evil Qi Method.

Rooted in the Great Unity Condensing Malignance Art, she devised this method whose pivotal function lies in refining malign energy into divine weapons, thereby amplifying the potency of offensive immortal treasures.

With the power of Eldrin’s Celestial Severance Twin Swords, if enough baleful energy were refined into them, the might of these divine weapons would be greatly amplified.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, if he refined the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) with baleful energy, it would form an unparalleled sharp sword aura. Under theoretical optimal conditions, this could enhance the sword's power by 50 percent.

Of course, like the Great Unity Condensing Evil Art, this Great Unity Weapon Refining Method could only be applied to offensive immortal treasures.

If the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure), the Earthen Sovereign Bell, the Azure Lotus Throne of Profound Water, and other treasures of Eldrin (Person Name) were to fuse with baleful energy, not only would their power fail to increase, but the internal Dao patterns within them would instead be damaged by the corrosive influence of the baleful energy.

In general, only the most formidable killing treasures and divine abilities are suitable for integration with these 2 unique techniques.

"The technique is indeed excellent, but acquiring the baleful aura won't be easy." Eldrin spoke calmly, shaking his head slightly after a moment of contemplation.

Whether cultivating the Great Unity Condensing Evil Art or practicing the Great Unity Weapon Forging Path, the most crucial element is the baleful aura.

Cultivating these 2 techniques consumed an overwhelmingly vast amount of baleful energy.

If it were merely a matter of cultivating baleful energy with a superior immortal treasure like Jiang Huangyi’s, that would be 1 thing. But with a Heaven-Splitting Treasure, it’s not so easily done.

Eldrin's Celestial Severance Twin Swords, once elevated to the Heaven-Cleaving Realm, required a truly astronomical amount of baleful energy to cultivate.
