Chapter 946 Shattered Sky Pillar

The old tomb keeper spoke up to this point, then continued with utmost gravity, "However, ascending to immortal treasure is an exceedingly arduous endeavor. After Chen Qiyuan (Person Name) fell in the past, the old man and Emperor Jiang (Person Name) laid plans for many years before gaining a sliver of certainty."

"Even so, elevating it to completion is no overnight endeavor."

The old man spoke unhurriedly, finally fixing his gaze on Eldrin as he said, "Therefore, after this old man undergoes Paragon's Demise, I hope you can journey to Mount Donghuang and lend a hand to the Bell of Eastern Soverign."

"I will."

Eldrin nodded, only to notice the old tomb keeper’s face growing increasingly pale, his aura fading steadily.

His physical body began to emit streams of radiance, transforming into showers of primordial light as they scattered—this was the beginning of Dao Dissolution.

"A cultivator's foundational spiritual power originates from the Violet Realm. In their twilight years, it transforms into the most primordial source energy and returns to the cosmos—a natural cycle of heaven and earth."

"If we fail to attain immortality, such shall likely be our twilight years."

Before his end, the tombkeeper faced this moment with utter serenity. Gazing at Eldrin, he offered a somewhat relieved smile and said, "After I depart, the Purple Realm shall become your era."

"We hope you will live up to our expectations and completely quell the Demonic Abyss calamity, restoring peace to all living beings under heaven."

The Tombkeeper Elder departed; this former peerless hero who once shook the world ultimately achieved nirvana before the Zephyr God Ridge.

Eldrin stood silently atop the Xunwind Divine Peaks, his gaze sweeping across the vast mountain range without the slightest flicker of emotion on his face.

No 1 knew how much time had passed, but his eyes slowly opened, gleaming with a killing intent that seemed capable of piercing the heavens as he stepped forward.

Heaven and earth roared, all things quaked.

Before this earth-shattering killing intent, the Demon God Pillar actually began to tremble violently.

Boom—

Eldrin remained serene, neither roaring in fury nor bellowing in rage.

With a single step, heaven and earth trembled, shaking the entire landscape violently.

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin transformed into a celestial-demon form spanning tens of thousands of miles. With a sweep of his sleeve, he raised his palm to suppress all beneath it.

"Bzzz—"

The Demon God Pillar, sensing a lethal threat, trembled violently as divine chains of laws bloomed forth 1 after another, slashing toward him.

Yet Eldrin (Person Name) showed no trace of fear. His Primordial Chaos Hand blotted out the sky, allowing countless law-formed divine chains to strike against his arm—yet not a single scratch marred its surface.

Had the 7 Demon God Pillars been at their peak, they might have been capable of harming Eldrin. But now, with 1 crucial pillar missing and the remaining 6 severely damaged, their power had fallen below the realm of Immortals and Demons.

"Break!"

After a momentary stalemate, Eldrin pushed his immortal body to its limits. The Primordial Unbounded Physique erupted with an indestructible radiance that shattered all natural laws in its wake, obliterating everything it touched.

A series of cracking roars erupted. The 7 Demon God Pillars, not forged from immortal-grade materials, ultimately failed to withstand the backlash of the laws and shattered into fragments on the spot.

Eldrin ceased his assault at that point, gathering the shattered Demon God Heavenly Pillar. His expression remained as cold and unreadable as still water.

Now, having forged his immortal body, quelled the calamity at the Xunwind Divine Ridge, and shattered the 7 Demon God Pillars, not a shred of joy stirred within his heart.

"Bzzz—"

Eldrin remained silent, refining the seventh Demon God Pillar into its most primordial essence of profound iron. He forged it into an ancient stele that now stood imposingly atop the Xunwind Divine Ridge.

Tomb of the Old Tomb Keeper 'Nameless'.

Before his passing, the tombkeeper elder left no name behind. Eldrin merely carved his revered title upon the stele, alongside the chronicles of his lifetime achievements.

In the end, Eldrin bowed 3 times before finally entering the Xunwind Divine Range.

Soon after, Lyra and the others arrived at the Xunwind Divine Ridge, setting foot upon this ancient mountain range.

When she saw Eldrin, Lyra was both startled and delighted, and inquired about the course of his journey.

After he finished speaking, she sighed softly, "Your profound righteousness brings solace. To witness your Ascended Body forged before his passing surely brought him profound comfort in his final moments."

"You owe him a debt beyond repayment. The only way to honor it is to completely quell the Cataclysm of the Demon Abyss, fulfilling our predecessor's 40-1000-year aspiration."

"I understand."

Eldrin nodded slightly, reining in his despondent mood before speaking. "The great calamity of the Zephyrwind Divine Peaks has been quelled. From now on, the primordial qi of the Violet Realm will gradually restore itself."

"I am heading to Mount Donghuang to check on the progress of the Donghuang Bell's gestation."

"Very well."

Lyra gave a slight nod, then added with a hint of hesitation, "There is 1 more matter I should mention. In recent days, a treasure has taken form within the water veins of The Vast Sea."

Lyra said, retrieving a treasure box from her sleeve.

Eldrin opened it to find a lustrous pearl radiating pure yang spiritual light.

Pure Yang Spirit Pearl.

Eldrin murmured, a trace of astonishment blooming between his brows.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) nearby chuckled and said, "With this treasure in hand, you now have hope of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm)."

The Pure Yang Spirit Pearl was an exceptionally rare sixth-rank, superior-grade spiritual treasure. It contained an immensely pure and potent yang energy that could greatly fortify the foundation of a Primordial Spirit cultivator, aiding them in breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm).

It is said that during the peak era tens of thousands of years ago, the Primordial Spirit Dao Lords of the Violet Realm would use this substance to refine precious elixirs, aiding cultivators in breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm).

However, due to the cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss, many sixth-grade superior earth veins in the Violet Realm were completely shattered, causing these pure yang spiritual objects to vanish entirely from the world.

Treasures akin to the Pure Yang Spirit Pearl, capable of assisting cultivators in breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm), had not emerged in the Violet Realm for countless years.

Its last appearance was in the Celestial Mountain Abode of the far northern ice plains, where a single Mysterious Origin Purple Qi Ginseng(Spiritual Herb) was discovered.

At that time, Riverlord Chang (Person Name) leveraged this supreme treasure to achieve a breakthrough into the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) in 1 fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, with the advancement of The Vast Sea (Location)'s water veins, this Pure Yang Spirit Pearl had now been nurtured into existence once more.

At this thought, Eldrin nodded and said, “This is indeed a supreme treasure. It’s a pity that the pill formula using the Pure Yang Spirit Pearl as the main ingredient has long been lost.”

"I can only attempt it by hand, to see if I can reverse-engineer the ancient alchemical formula."

"Mm." Lyra nodded, then added, "Within the sacred grounds of the Dao Palace, there exists the refinement method for the Mystic Origin Purple Qi Elixir. If we could obtain this formula for reference, your chances would increase significantly."

"Very well."

Eldrin gave a slight nod and said, "I must trouble you, Madam, to find a few items of comparable value from the clan treasury—some pill formulas and spiritual materials. I shall take them to the Dao Palace Sacred Land."

Lyra was dispatched to prepare the elixir formula ingredients, while Eldrin did not linger at the Zephyr Divine Peaks. He immediately set out for the Eastern Sovereign Mountain.

Before long, he arrived within the Desolate Spirit Mountain Range, ascending the peak of the Zephyrwind Divine Ridge.

After so many years, upon setting foot once more on this Eastern Emperor Mountain, Eldrin beheld a scene vastly different from what he had witnessed in the past.
