Chapter 1383 : Tianhe Ginkgo Tree

Since Immortals live eternally yet drain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without replenishing it, periodic cleansing is required to maintain the grand cycle of primordial qi. Only those who have reached the Celestial Immortal realm—the true pillars of the Qingcang Immortal Domain—possess the power to shield this realm from the Chaos Tribulation. "It seems 1 must cultivate at least to the Celestial Immortal stage to glimpse even a fragment of the boundless chaos."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a faint glimmer lighting up his eyes.

A moment later, he shook his head again. For someone like him who knew little even about the Vast Azure Celestial Realm, what right did he have to inquire about the Boundless Chaos?

With this thought in mind, he swiftly reined in his wandering thoughts and continued advancing toward the core of the Great Tribulation.

Arriving at the 100 Demons Sea, Eldrin conducted repeated investigations only to confirm he had indeed come too late.

At this moment, the 100 Demons Swarming Sea no longer had any 9-calamity immortals among the demon race—not even 8-calamity immortals remained.

Now, the 8-tribulation prodigies of the demon race were either trapped within the Western Abyss Dragon Palace or had long since withdrawn from the 100 Demons Archipelago upon sensing the unfavorable turn of events. After repeated investigations, Eldrin (Person Name) let out a soft sigh in his heart and could only depart reluctantly, his mind still clinging to unresolved ambitions.

Just before his departure, he happened to run into an acquaintance—none other than Patriarch Tiansu, who had crossed paths with Eldrin once before.

That day, when Patriarch Su saw Eldrin, he promptly cupped his hands and said, "When we last met, I failed to recognize you." "Only later did I learn that you are the renowned Master of the Returning Abyss. I beg your forgiveness, fellow Daoist."

"You flatter me."

As time passed, the renown of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance's eradication of the 1000 Dragons Lake had spread throughout the Abyssal Sea.

After all, the 1000 Dragon Lake was a powerful blessed land, its strength ranking close to the top 1 100 within the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea. The annihilation of such a formidable force naturally left everyone utterly astounded.

Therefore, when Patriarch Tiansu spotted Eldrin (Person Name) today, he approached from afar to greet him. In response, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled and returned the courtesy, engaging with Daoist Tiansu in a polite manner.

After the 2 exchanged pleasantries for a moment, Tian Su Daoist inquired, "Fellow Daoist, I heard you've broken through to the Earth Immortal realm. Have you come to the 100 Demons' Sea this time to join the siege of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace as well?"

"Not at all," Eldrin shook his head, speaking with resignation. "When celestial immortals of such magnitude clash, how would I dare intervene?" "My purpose in coming is to acquire a high-quality Dao Origin for my wife."

"Oh?"

Tian Su Daoist’s gaze flickered slightly before he shook his head and said, “The Dao Origins within the bodies of the 8 and 9 tribulation demon immortals of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace have already been claimed by the Ye Xu Divine Sea and several major forces of the Divine Clan.”

"Given our backgrounds, even if we go, we won't get our share."

Tian Su Daoist shook his head repeatedly. Recalling Eldrin's extraordinary qualities, he couldn't help but feel inclined to establish friendly relations. Without hesitation, he stated, "However, I've heard that within several of the demon race's blessed realms, there still exist demon immortals who have survived 8 heavenly tribulations."

"Oh?" A flicker of delight crossed Eldrin's face as he promptly inquired, "Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist."

Tian Su Daoist pondered briefly before speaking, "Among the Dark Roc tribe, there exists an 8-Calamity Demonic Immortal." "The Primordial Heaven Crocodile lineage also has an 8-Calamity Demonic Immortal, though this bloodline possesses 4 Earth Immortal patriarchs. You must exercise caution when dealing with them." "And then there is..."

Tian Su the Elder spoke unhurriedly, recounting the origins of several 8-calamity demon immortals from the demon race 1 after another.

These celestial fox blessed lands mostly participated in the 100 Demons Sea War, yet all were those who fled when they saw the battle turning unfavorable.

However, the forces capable of nurturing 8-Tribulation Demonic Immortals were all extraordinary entities. These several 8-Tribulation Demonic Immortals were each backed by powerful blessed lands, with the weakest among them guarded by at least late-stage Earth Immortals.

With this intelligence in hand, Eldrin felt a slight sense of reassurance.

Without further delay, he immediately headed toward the Great Desolate Skycrocodile clan.

The reason for heading to the Great Desolate Celestial Alligator Clan first was because this branch was relatively weaker in strength.

In its prime, the Great Desolate Sky Crocodile lineage boasted 6 Earth Immortal Patriarchs, their strength nearly matching that of the Lord of the 1000 Dragons Lake. The lineage's leader, the Great Desolate Crocodile Ancestor, possessed power at the seventh level of the Earth Immortal realm and had also opened 6 layers of Heaven and Earth.

However, during the great tribulation, the Primordial Crocodile Ancestor had sustained considerable injuries, and 2 of the 6 Earth Immortal elders had fallen in battle. Thus, Eldrin felt confident enough to give it a try.

By the time Eldrin arrived at the Heavenly Alligator Blessed Land, he found the mountain-protecting formation of this lineage already activated, as if they had been preparing for quite some time.

Unfortunately, the Great Desolate Skycrocodile Clan possessed no spatial Primordial Opening Treasures. Relying solely on their ordinary mountain protection array, they could not withstand Eldrin’s Yin-Yang Void Realm.

Eldrin concealed himself within the Realm of Yin and Yang Void, stealthily infiltrating the Heavenly Crocodile Blessed Land.

Without alerting the Earth Immortal elders, he located the secluded cultivation grounds of the Heavenly Crocodile Clan's 8-Tribulation Demonic Immortal. To his astonishment, 2 stalks of Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) flourished beside the meditation site of this 8-calamity demonic immortal.

"Celestial River Ginkgo, Primal Yellow Cypress!"

A surge of delight rose in Eldrin’s (Person Name) heart. In an instant, he summoned the Yin-Yang Void Mirror (Magic Treasure), uprooting both ancient trees with a single motion. "Oh no."

In the blink of an eye, the 8-Calamity Demonic Immortal of the Skycrocodile Clan felt a surge of terror and immediately sought to flee, but it was already too late. A blinding blade aura flashed, reducing him to calamity ashes in a single strike.

"Wretched fiend, how dare you!"

In an instant, the Great Barren Skycrocodile Clan sensed something amiss.

In an instant, 4 Earth Immortal elders shot into the sky, led by 1 at the late Earth Immortal stage charging forth to attack.

The remaining 3 launched a coordinated assault, even deploying the Mountain Protection Array to completely seal the void, intending to utterly annihilate Eldrin. Alone within the grand array, Eldrin stood against the Great Barren Heavenly Crocodile Clan—this was no different from a single individual confronting multiple Earth Immortal Perfection experts. Even for those at the Earth Immortal Perfection realm, such direct resistance would inevitably lead to certain death.

Eldrin swiftly collected the 8 Calamities Dao Source, then in the blink of an eye activated the Yin Yang Void Mirror, vanishing into the boundless void.

After fleeing all the way from the Heavenly Crocodile Blessed Land, Eldrin felt both exhilarated and thrilled. Taking a deep breath, he continued onward to the other territories of the demon tribes.

Unfortunately, by the time he arrived at these territories, he found he was always 1 step too late.

He was not the only 1 eyeing the 8-Calamity Dao Origins. Among these blessed lands, 1 had already been eradicated, while the 8-Calamity Demonic Immortals from the remaining 2 had fled.

Left with no alternative, Eldrin decided to head for the Howling Wind Valley, determined to confront the Dark Roc Clan residing there.

However, when Eldrin arrived at the Whistling Wind Valley, his heart sank slightly, and he immediately abandoned any intention of striking against the Dark Roc.

This Dark Roc possesses an extraordinary bloodline. Among its living descendants, there are over a dozen Earth Immortals, while the Dark Roc King himself has reached the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm.

If that were all, Eldrin could still risk a desperate struggle with the Yin Yang Void Mirror. However, the Dark Roc possessed a Heaven-Splitting Treasure imbued with spatial attributes.

With such a treasure suppressing this blessed land, Eldrin (Person Name) knew that rashly stepping into its domain would likely lead to being trapped within. Naturally, he dared not act recklessly.

At this thought, Eldrin decided to take no more risks. He concealed himself outside the Howling Wind Valley, prepared to observe the situation for a while.
