Chapter 977 : The Path of Limitless Yin-Yang

"Two supreme Laws of the Dao can converge to form the Yin-Yang Limitless Law."

"But once that path is taken, one must forsake the pursuit of the other three Laws of the Dao."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, his brow deeply furrowed in contemplation.

Whether it was the Profound Nether True Water or the Pure Yang Celestial Flame, both were supreme Laws of the Dao. Once Yin and Yang were harmonized and united, one could reign supreme across the world!

This was a Limitless Law that pointed directly to the Primordial Chaos Great Dao.

What is the Limitless?

Heaven and Earth, the cosmos, have boundaries—this is the Finite.

The Great Thousand Universe also has an end—this too is the Finite.

That which can be called Limitless exists not within the confines of Heaven and Earth, nor within the cycles of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Great Dao is boundless, ethereal and endless—this can be called the Limitless. This novel is serialized on @udio-novel.com. Visit for updates.

Boundless Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], without edge or horizon, is also known as the Limitless [the state of infinite potential].

The Limitless [the state of infinite potential], daring to take the Limitless as its name, reveals just how formidable the Yin-Yang Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation law governing the limitless interplay of opposing forces] truly is.

Yet, precisely because it is so overwhelmingly powerful, it is also inherently domineering, possessing an intensely exclusive nature.

Eldrin Chen's three paths of the Great Dao [the supreme, fundamental principles of cultivation]—the Chaos Gold [a primordial metal embodying chaos], the Myriad Things Earth [the foundational earth that gives rise to all things], and the Seed of Life [the primordial essence of vitality]—all possess the potential to gaze directly upon the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal who has transcended the cycles of fate].

They might even advance further, to glimpse the state of a Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal who has returned to and mastered the primordial chaos], a possibility that is utterly intolerable to the Yin-Yang Limitless Law.

Although these three paths may fall short of the Yin-Yang Limitless Law, which reigns supreme under heaven, they too hold the possibility of pointing directly toward the realm of a Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage [the legendary progenitor-immortals who established the fundamental laws of the Dao]. Their profound mysteries make them difficult to abandon.

"To forsake the sharpness and resilience of Chaos Gold, the profound depth and enduring nature of the Myriad Things Earth, and the vibrant vitality of the life Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing existence], in order to exclusively cultivate the peerlessly domineering Yin-Yang Primordial Chaos Law [a supreme law governing the primordial chaos through the interplay of Yin and Yang]..."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, but in the end, he shook his head.

A supreme Great Dao lay within his grasp, yet he found it profoundly difficult to choose this path.

For once chosen, myself's Primordial Chaos Foundation [the foundational cultivation stage built upon primordial chaos] would be rendered a wasted effort. Though his combat power might increase dramatically, this new path was not guaranteed to be perfect.

The path of the Yin-Yang Infinity [the supreme law governing the interplay and boundless potential of opposing cosmic forces] is overwhelmingly domineering. While those who walk this path may attain combat prowess worthy of being called sovereigns under heaven, it lacks the sharpness and resilience of Chaos Gold [a legendary metal born from primordial chaos, embodying unyielding sharpness], the profound solidity of the Myriad Things Earth [a divine ability representing the foundational, nurturing power of the earth that gives rise to all things], and the vibrant, burgeoning vitality inherent in the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing life and existence].

Although such a supremely powerful Great Dao [a supreme cosmic principle or law] is peerless in its dominance, it ultimately cannot compare to the all-encompassing nature of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao [the supreme law of the formless, primordial state from which all existence emerged], nor to the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [the boundless law derived from the unity of primordial chaos] achieved through Primordial Unity [the divine ability to return disparate forces to their original, unified state].

"Hmm…"

Eldrin Chen suppressed the impulse to fuse the two Laws of the Dao. The light of the sun and moon within his pupils gradually dimmed, and the Yin-Yang Limitless Circle [a manifestation of the boundless cycle of opposing cosmic forces] behind him slowly dissipated as he relinquished the Yin-Yang Limitless Law [the boundless law derived from the perfect harmony of opposing cosmic forces].

Abandoning a Primordial Chaos Great Dao stirred a flicker of regret in Eldrin Chen's heart, yet he felt no true attachment to it.

Eldrin Chen understood clearly that although this chosen path was more arduous, and the difficulty of comprehending the three remaining Laws of the Dao would be vastly greater…

…once myself fully comprehended all five Laws of the Dao, the ultimate Primordial Chaos Limitless Law he would cultivate would be far more powerful than the Yin-Yang Limitless Law that allowed one to claim sovereignty under heaven.

"When Yin and Yang unite in harmony, giving birth to the Yin-Yang Limitless Law, one may become sovereign under heaven."

"If I can unify the five primal elements, achieving the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law, could I then be called the progenitor of all Daos?"

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, then shook his head with a wry smile. "Regardless of what lies ahead, the important thing is to tread each step firmly."

With those words, the two Laws of the Dao behind him converged back into his body like a great whale drawing in the sea, and an increasingly formidable aura erupted from within him.

It turned out that upon mastering the power of the Profound Nether True Water Law, he had seized the momentum to shatter a bottleneck, and his Mana had surged directly into the Ninth Layer Nascent Soul realm.

Having cultivated to this stage, Eldrin Chen's Mana cultivation had reached its absolute limit. All that remained was to accumulate it to its peak, after which there would be no further room for advancement.

To take the next step, one must undergo the Immortal Ascension Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial to transcend mortality], transforming Mana into the legendary Immortal Essence [the purified energy of an immortal being].

Yet Eldrin Chen's physical body and Laws of the Dao had not yet reached their ultimate potential, nor had he cultivated the Primordial Limitless Dao Fruit [a supreme cultivation attainment representing boundless potential]. Naturally, he was unwilling to prematurely face the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the thunderous ordeal of heavenly ascension].

With this thought, Eldrin Chen concluded his cultivation session and emerged from the Seclusion Chamber. This chapter is part of a larger work available at audio-novel.com (official site).

Stepping out, he found Nyssa Qu already waiting for him. Seeing him, she smiled and asked, "How were your gains this time, Husband?"

Eldrin Chen offered a faint smile and simply nodded. "It went smoothly enough."

"Truly!"

Delight spread across Nyssa Qu's face, and she could not help but take his hand. "With you having mastered the Profound Nether True Water Law on this journey, it seems the day of your ascension to immortality is not far off."

"Why not press on with the momentum and continue seclusion to Comprehending Laws?"

Eldrin Chen shook his head, however, and said with a smile, "To Comprehending Laws is no easy feat. Yet for me, the accumulation of a Deep-Seated Foundation [a profound and stable cultivation base] has long been sufficient. To comprehend the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles governing reality], I lack only a single, elusive spark of inspiration."

"Apart from divine materials like Abyssal Depths Divine Iron and Violet Flame Immortal Gold, which inherently contain Laws of the Dao, one can only rely on a sudden flash of spiritual insight. This is not something that can be forced through seclusion."

Eldrin Chen elaborated calmly, then continued with a smile, "Now, with three hundred years remaining until the next Demonic Abyss Cataclysm, I intend to use this time to settle accounts with the Demonic Monsters [malevolent creatures born of demonic energy] that have wrought evil within the Purple Realm."

"And, in passing, to see if the Extraterrestrial Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this realm] has left any hidden contingencies within the Purple Realm."

"I see."

Nyssa Qu nodded, a smile gracing her lips as she spoke, "Within the Purple Realm, many Demonic Monsters Ancient Ancestor have indeed committed countless atrocities. Now that my Husband has attained the Dao, it is only right that you take charge and deliver justice for all living beings."

"It is precisely what should be done!"

Eldrin Chen smiled, offering no further words on the matter.

He emerged from his Seclusion Chamber and summoned several of the clan's younger generation who had reached the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, a high-level cultivation stage] realm, including Ethan Chen, Alistair Lu, and Lana Gu.

Once the group had assembled, he handed them a roster.

Taking it, they saw the names of seven or eight Nascent Soul Demons and Monsters inscribed upon the list.

"Clan Uncle, this is..."

Ethan Chen scanned the list and could not help but ask with a hint of hesitation.

The Nascent Soul Demons and Monsters named on the roster all possessed cultivation at the Primordial Spirit, Early Stage [the initial phase of the Nascent Soul realm] and had plagued the Purple Realm for many years, having refrained from action during several past Demonic Abyss Cataclysm [a periodic, large-scale demonic invasion].

This caused a flicker of understanding in their hearts, allowing them to roughly guess Eldrin Chen's intention.

Under their collective gaze, Eldrin Chen nodded and declared, "The Purple Realm harbors many Demonic Monsters, most of whom have scourged the world for years. In earlier times, I was preoccupied with my own cultivation and had no leisure to eradicate them."

"Now that my Dao has taken initial form, it is time to purge these blights from the Purple Realm."

At this point, Eldrin Chen looked again at the list and said, "These few possess Mana [the spiritual power of a cultivator] merely at the Primordial Spirit, Early Stage. I entrust their elimination to you. Do not disappoint me."

Hearing this, their expressions turned solemn. Ethan Chen nodded firmly and said, "These fiends have plagued the world for too long. Even had you not spoken, Clan Uncle, we were prepared to move against them."

"Since Clan Uncle has personally spoken, then we should not delay. Let us eliminate them as swiftly as possible."

"Very well."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. Over these years, the Mana [the spiritual power cultivated by practitioners] of Ethan Chen and the others had grown increasingly profound. Not long ago, Ethan Chen had even broken through to the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer.

With them taking personal action, it would be more than sufficient to overcome these Demonic Monsters.

However, Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator possessed extraordinary abilities to preserve their lives, capable of tearing through the void to escape at critical moments. Slaying them would likely prove quite difficult.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen retrieved the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void and said, "Take my Magical Treasure [an enchanted artifact used by cultivators] on this journey. Ensure none of them escape with their lives." Read, share, and discuss at audio~novel.com.
