Chapter 1359 : Taiyi Immortal Soldiers

Once the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder advances further and reaches the Heaven-Opening Realm, the consumption required for such a profound-level divine ability would demand an immense volume of baleful energy—gathering it would be no easy feat.

At this thought, Eldrin shook his head slowly and said, "In truth, the Realm of Heaven Opening is manageable. But once you step into the Celestial Immortal Realm, refining a single ninth-rank 'Taiyi Immortal Weapon' consumes a truly staggering amount of baleful energy."

Lyra (Person Name) also gave a slight nod. The immortal treasures employed by those at the Celestial Immortal realm were divided into 2 types.

1 is known as the Innate Treasure, while the other is called the Taiyi Immortal Armament.

Innate Treasures are forged from innate wonders, or are formed when Supreme Immortal Artifacts fuse with innate qi.

The Taiyi Immortal Weapon is a ninth-rank immortal treasure, forged entirely from ninth-rank immortal materials.

For instance, Eldrin (Person Name)'s Marrow-Jade Golden Bamboo, if elevated to the ninth rank, would undergo a metamorphosis into the Great Metal Bamboo, which could serve as a refining material for crafting a Great Metal Immortal Weapon.

Infused with primordial qi, a Primordial Treasure's power surpasses that of a Taiyi Immortal Artifact by twofold among cultivators of the same realm.

Generally speaking, even the most ordinary Innate Treasure (Heavenly Material) possesses power comparable to a ninth-rank, superior-grade Taiyi Immortal Armament (Magic Treasure).

Under such circumstances, refining a Taiyi Immortal Weapon with the 'Taiyi Condensed Evil Art' would enhance its power by 50 percent.

By then, even if it couldn't rival an Innate Treasure, its power would have increased tremendously—enough to at least hold its own against 1.

However, Primordial Qi was exceedingly rare, and Primordial Treasures were even harder to find. Most Heavenly Immortal powerhouses possessed only 1 or 2 Primordial Treasures, which they reserved as their ultimate trump cards.

Thus, for Celestial Immortals, the Taiyi Immortal Weapon remains an indispensable treasure. This clearly demonstrates that the 'Taiyi Condensed Evil Art' must have an extraordinary origin.

This cultivation method was likely created by ancient celestial powers, and might even have originated from a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Its preciousness naturally went without saying.

"It seems I've stumbled upon a treasure."

"No wonder Jiang Huangyi had always kept it close. Were it not for the life-saving grace today, she might never have imparted this technique to us."

Eldrin murmured softly, his gaze drifting involuntarily toward Lyra.

Lyra gave a slight nod and said no more, simply stating, "As for locations with baleful energy, I do know of 1 place that certainly holds a great amount."

"You mean..."

Eldrin murmured, his gaze involuntarily brightening as he recognized the place Lyra had mentioned.

The Sky Prison Clan, 1 of the 100 Spirit Immortal Clans, was born of the world's baleful energies. Each member of this clan emerged from the most refined essence of malignant qi, essentially becoming walking incarnations of baleful forces roaming the mortal realm.

"In those days, that Tian Yu Zi possessed no small amount of baleful aura."

"Unfortunately, the baleful qi is harmful to us immortals. Prolonged exposure can damage our foundational essence, which is why neither of us has collected it."

Lyra (Person Name) murmured softly, a tinge of regret coloring her expression.

Eldrin nodded slightly before speaking, "It seems from now on, you, I, and the Sky Prison Clan are destined for a fight to the death."

At these words, Eldrin's eyes gleamed with a trace of killing intent.

An instant later, he reined in his killing intent and spoke, "The immediate priority is to fully cultivate my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body and break through to the Earth Immortal Realm before discussing anything else."

Lyra gave a slight nod and spoke, "Regarding the 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Sea, what are your plans? Do you intend to lend assistance to the master of the Spirit Abyss Sea Domain?"

"No."

Eldrin immediately shook his head, his expression turning profoundly grave as he declared, "Although the Spirit Abyss Daoist has reached the Great Perfection stage of Earth Immortality, he has only cultivated 2 types of World-Creating Dao Fruits after all, never achieving true foundational completion."

Yet the Thunder God of Silent Extinction had opened the Eighth Heaven—most likely a 9-Calamity Immortal who had cultivated 3 types of World-Originating Foundations.

"With such a disparity in foundational strength, the 2 sides weren't even standing on the same level."

At this point, Eldrin let out a faint sigh and said, "If my estimation is correct, even if the 2 Spirit Abyss Daoists were to join forces, they might still prove no match for the Annihilating Thunder God."

Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) fell silent.

He knew full well in his heart that Eldrin was right—the gap between them was far too vast.

Upon reaching the Ascension Realm, an immortal who has cultivated 3 Dao Fruits need only break through the eighth level of Ascension and master 3 perfected Ascension Dao Fruits to have their combat prowess approach the threshold of a Quasi-Terrestrial Immortal.

In the realm of Earth Immortals, those who have cultivated 3 types of perfected World-Founding Foundations to reach the Great Perfection stage naturally possess combat prowess that transcends the mundane.

Such an existence still couldn't defy a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, but even if 2 or 3 ordinary Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage joined forces, they would certainly be no match for them.

In other words, the disparity between Daoist Lingyuan and the Lord of Silent Annihilation Thunder was at least equivalent to that of a ninth-level Earth Immortal.

Were it not for the protection of the Mountain Guarding Formation, Daoist Lingyuan would never have held out this long.

Under such circumstances, even if Eldrin and Lyra went to provide support, they would be of no help at all. Even if they summoned the likes of the Abyssal Daoist and the Ancient Ruins Nether Lord, it would still be futile—they would most likely end up getting themselves trapped as well.

At this thought, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but ask, "If we cannot intervene in the conflicts of the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea, then what should we do?"

Eldrin (Person Name) remarked, "Who says cultivating the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body must inevitably lead to a life-or-death battle against the Thunder God of Eternal Silence?"

"You mean?" Lyra's eyes lit up.

"Mm." Eldrin nodded, then spoke, "You and I shall use the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to secretly infiltrate the 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Abyss."

"Now, nearly all Earth Immortal realm deities of the Myriad Realms Thunder Sea are gathered within the Lingyuan Sea Region."

"I can cultivate in secret without alerting them, as long as you stand guard for me. Once I complete my Lightning Tribulation Body Tempering, we can slip away unnoticed."

Lyra's eyes lit up, and she nodded, "Excellent idea."

Eldrin nodded gravely and declared, "There's no time to waste. I must complete my Lightning Tribulation Body Tempering cultivation before the Silent Thunder Sovereign returns."

The 2 of them wasted no time and immediately set off quietly toward the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea.

With the power of the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure), they concealed themselves within the void and soon arrived at the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea.

As soon as he stepped into the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea, Eldrin saw rolling black clouds shrouding the sky. Countless bolts of 9 heavens lightning continuously descended, striking the entire sea with apocalyptic fury.

"What formidable thunder power."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a flicker of astonishment crossing his expression.

In the Violet Realm, places like the Blazing Inferno Sea and the Zephyr Divine Peaks were once considered perilous lands, yet compared to this place, they pale into insignificance.

This sea region was filled with zones of destructive lightning, where tribulation lightning—typically encountered only during breakthroughs to the Nascent Soul realm or ascension to immortality—could manifest at any moment.

Eldrin even glimpsed a cataclysmic tribulation thunderbolt striking down from the distant void, violently cleaving through millions of li of boundless ocean as scorching radiance illuminated hundreds of millions of li of empty expanse.

And in the boundless deep sea, endless electric currents swirled within, as if it had transformed into a sea of liquid thunder.

In the depths of the sea where tempestuous waves raged, there were actually living beings thriving within. They witnessed a colossal Kun, spanning tens of millions of miles, bathing in a sea of lightning as it moved. With each surge, it stirred endless, towering waves.
