Chapter 944. Casting the Immortal Body
As countless divine chains of law spread through the void, the Eye of the Xun Wind received an inexplicable power boost. Its might instantly multiplied severalfold, surpassing the very limits of the mortal realm.
Not only that, but the chains of law also enveloped the Eye of the Xun Wind, effectively trapping Eldrin within the Eye of the Xun Wind.
"There is indeed something strange."
Noticing the change in the Eye of the Xun Wind, Eldrin's gaze sharpened imperceptibly.
This Eye of the Gale was the most terrifying existence. Even a Demigod Ancestor trapped within it would have their soul scattered and spirit obliterated in no time at all.
Not to mention that the Eye of the Xun Wind was now empowered by the 7 Demon God Pillars, its might had surged severalfold, transforming into a terrifying force capable of threatening even immortals and deities.
In such circumstances, even someone like Dong Huang, who had forged an immortal body, would likely suffer a severe setback if trapped within.
Even without the risk of permanent demise, 1 would likely suffer severe injuries, or might even become trapped within for a long time, unable to escape for ages.
Eldrin's current Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body would likely be unable to withstand even a brief moment before being reduced to ashes by the gale.
Fortunately, Eldrin had come prepared. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned 40-9 formation flags into the air.
This 7-7 Xunwind Abyssal Suppression Array was handed down by the immortals of the ancient Xunwind Divine Peaks, renowned throughout the Violet Realm as the most effective formation for restraining the Eye of the Xunwind.
As the 40-9 formation banners erupted with dazzling divine light, they faintly suppressed a significant portion of the power of the Eye of the Xun Wind.
"Not enough!"
The Gale-Subduing Abyssal Array erupted with dazzling immortal light, yet relying on this method alone proved insufficient against the 7 Demon God Pillars. Eldrin immediately summoned the Wind-Calming Pearl.
The Wind-Anchoring Pearl was an unparalleled treasure rarely seen in the world. It was said that once fully matured, it could calm all winds under heaven. Even an immortal who had mastered the celestial-grade Xun Wind Great Supernatural Power would immediately turn and flee at the sight of this treasure.
It can be said that this object is the supreme treasure most capable of restraining wind-attribute divine abilities across all realms.
Although the Wind-Anchoring Pearl before his eyes was incomplete, it was still an exceedingly rare treasure in the world, bordering on the divine. It immediately stabilized a considerable portion of the Xun wind forces in the void.
After completing all this, Eldrin finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
The Eye of the Xunwind, restrained by both the formation and the Wind-Anchoring Pearl, had its power greatly diminished. This allowed him to barely endure it, narrowly avoiding having his soul scattered to ashes on the spot.
"Success hinges on this single step."
Thoughts flashing through his mind, Eldrin immediately sat down cross-legged within the Eye of the Xun Wind, allowing the vast power of the Xun Wind to continuously erode his very soul and bones while tempering his flesh and marrow.
Thus, amidst the ceaseless gales of the Xun Wind Day, his physical form grew increasingly gaunt.
In the blink of an eye, 1 100 years had passed. On this day, Eldrin sat cross-legged within the Eye of the Xun Wind, his form withered to the extreme, nearly reduced to skin and bones.
This power of the Xun wind was not overbearing, yet it was enduring and insidious, with every wisp of Xun wind energy relentlessly eroding his flesh, blood, and marrow.
Empowered by the Demon God Pillar, the Eye of the Gale possessed the terrifying might to slay deities and immortals. Even with the Wind-Quelling Pearl and protective formations mitigating its force, its power far surpassed that of the 10-1000 Tribulation Lightning Pool and the Mysterious Ice Abyss.
Eldrin remained trapped within the Eye of the Xunwind, subjected to a full century of relentless erosion by the Xunwind's power. His vital essence and primal qi had been tempered to their absolute limits.
At this point, Eldrin had reached the absolute limits of exhaustion. Had it not been for that single thread of conviction sustaining him, he might have long been utterly annihilated—his very soul scattered by the power of the Xun Wind.
Yet even so, he had reached the point where the oil was nearly exhausted and the lamp almost extinguished.
"The power of this Scorching Wind is so overwhelming. Could it be that I am truly destined to perish here?"
Eldrin sat cross-legged in the void, sensing the nearly depleted essence-blood and flesh within his body. A flicker of despair flashed through his eyes.
He lifted his head and gazed toward the distant horizon where heaven and earth met.
Within the vast expanse of the Xunwind Divine Peaks, 7 Demon God Pillars stood like an unyielding prison, suppressing all existence. In a fleeting vision, he witnessed the Violet Realm collapsing into utter ruin, with countless souls descending into the boundless abyss of demonic chaos.
"No, I cannot die!"
"If I were to fall here, wouldn't the sacrifices of Senior Haoran, Senior Tianya, and even Riverlord Chang (Person Name) all be in vain!"
In an instant, a trace of sharpness bloomed within Eldrin's pupils.
Gritting his teeth, he channeled the last trace of his lifeblood essence to nourish his flesh and blood, driving that wisp of Primordial Chaos True Qi to temper his internal organs.
“Thud!”
“Thud!”
“Thud!”
In that fleeting moment, Eldrin's heart erupted with thunderous beats as a brilliant arc of lightning ignited within his 5 vital organs.
It was an exceedingly brilliant stream of primal thunder energy, containing the power of destruction yet also brimming with the life force that nourishes all things. It continuously nourished Eldrin’s flesh and blood.
Immediately after, another surge of frigid white origin qi surged forth.
It possessed the power to freeze all things, yet did not harm Eldrin in the slightest. Instead, it continuously nourished Eldrin's fervent blood, causing his nearly desiccated life force to rapidly and endlessly regenerate.
Immediately after, a peculiar source energy began to brew from within Eldrin's marrow.
This stream of origin qi was ethereal and elusive—less domineering than the thunder origin qi, less frigid than the ice origin qi. Yet it swept through like a soul-corroding gale, or a gentle breeze that caresses all things.
As this gentle breeze swept past, the countless minor injuries within Eldrin rapidly smoothed away, visibly restoring his vitality to fullness.
Boom—
The instant Eldrin’s 3 strands of origin energy stirred within him, the 7 Demon God Pillars trembled violently.
Behold, 7 celestial pillars erupted with overwhelming divine light, a radiance that blotted out the heavens and enveloped the void. It transformed into endless streams of law energy, poised to strike down Eldrin (Person Name).
This was the moment when Eldrin (Person Name) was at his most vulnerable. After a 100 years of tempering within the Eye of the Xun Wind, his essence, energy, and spirit had all entered their most depleted state.
Now 3 types of primordial energy flourished within Eldrin's body. Once these 3 energies completely merged into 1, he would be able to forge the legendary Immortal Physique.
Once that step was taken, the 7 Demon God Pillars would find it nothing short of a fool’s dream to slay Eldrin.
At this critical moment, as Eldrin was on the verge of success, the 7 Demon God Pillars cast aside all restraint. Even at the cost of their own destruction, they were determined to strike him down.
These 7 Demon God Pillars were forged by the extraterrestrial demons from veins of otherworldly black iron—material sufficient to craft dozens of Pure Yang Spirit Treasures, all forcibly infused with the power of cosmic laws by the demon gods themselves.
Thus, their power was immensely formidable. Though they could not be considered Demi-immortal Artifacts, when wielded in unison, the unleashed force could rival that of a true Immortal.
However, the material of this object was ultimately of mortal origin. Though a vast quantity of treasures had been used, it ultimately struggled to withstand the full eruption of the power of laws.
At this moment, the 7 Demon God Pillars erupted completely, unleashing boundless power of laws. Though they burst forth with nearly god-slaying force, they were instantly covered in cracks, teetering on the verge of collapse.
