Chapter 956 : The Unbreakable Immortal Body

By the battle's end, the Outer Realm Demon God had regained his icy composure.

He sat cross-legged upon the void, allowing the peerless Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] and Formation [a structured array of power] to assail him, yet they found it difficult to inflict a mortal wound.

From his seat in the void, he spoke with a cold sneer, "Indeed, Energy Abyss Chen was a worthy opponent."

"His Eastern Sovereign Indestructibility Body [an Immortal Body of supreme durability] was truly Extraordinary, so much so that even my true form could not utterly annihilate it. You mere mortals may suppress this vessel of mine, but you can never slay this Second Primordial Spirit [a secondary, independent spiritual consciousness] of mine."

Upon hearing this, the complexions of the assembled cultivators shifted subtly. They unleashed a barrage of attacks, yet found they could not completely destroy the Outer Realm Demon God's physical form, their expressions turning grim.

Among them, Heaven Abandoned Lin spoke with a heavy tone, "The Eastern Sovereign's Physical Body [the corporeal form of the Eastern Sovereign], combined with its Immortality [the state of being deathless] and Indestructibility [the quality of being unbreakable], possesses a defensive power that ranks among the pinnacle of all Immortal Body [transcendent physical forms]."

"I fear our methods are insufficient to destroy this Immortal Body."

Eldrin Chen channeled the power of wind and thunder, summoned surging tides of glacial force, and even invoked the Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame Path Principles [the fundamental laws of the Primal Sun's Celestial Flames] to refine and purge. Yet, he found he could not completely incinerate this Eastern Sovereign [a title for a supreme ruler] Immortal Body, his expression growing solemn.

He turned his gaze towards the Tribulation Transcending Divine Monk and the Lord of the Path Palace [the master of a palace dedicated to a specific cultivation path], along with the other few Demigod [beings who have transcended mortality but not yet achieved full divinity] present, and asked gravely, "You seniors hail from the Purple Seal Realm [a legendary higher realm], and your understanding of it surely far surpasses my own."

"Do any of you possess a method that could truly slay this Outer Realm Demon God?" Find this and other novels at http://www . audio-novel.com.

The assembled Demigod Patriarch exchanged glances. The Heavenly Gaze Path Master calculated with his fingers for a moment before shaking his head. "This Eastern Sovereign Indestructibility Body is impervious to ten thousand calamities [a state of near-absolute physical invulnerability]. Even within the Immortal Realm, it would need to be sealed within an Immortal Refining Furnace and burned by various 'Immortal Flames' for ten thousand years before there is any possibility of refining it away."

"With the power of the Mortal Realm, it is fundamentally impossible to utterly destroy this Immortal Body."

At this point, the Heavenly Gaze Path Master paused briefly before continuing. "However, the Eastern Sovereign's Physical Body and the Outer Realm Demon God are not truly one entity. A sliver of separation still exists between them. Perhaps this is our opportunity."

"Indeed!" The Tribulation Transcending Divine Monk nodded in agreement. "In ancient times, the Outer Realm Demon God could not destroy the Eastern Sovereign's Physical Body. It could only strike at the level of the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], which is how it managed to slay the Eastern Sovereign's Primordial Spirit."

"We may be able to emulate the Outer Realm Demon God and attack from this angle."

The Earth Mystery Path Venerable also nodded, yet voiced a doubt. "The Primordial Spirit within the Eastern Sovereign's Physical Body was split from the Outer Realm Demon God's true self. Attempting to extinguish it would likely be exceedingly difficult."

"That is true."

The Lord of the Path Palace stroked his long beard thoughtfully. "Fortunately, the Primordial Spirit within this Eastern Sovereign's Physical Body is merely a split-off Second Primordial Spirit [a secondary, lesser spiritual consciousness], not a complete Immortal or Demon Primordial Spirit. This grants us a sliver of hope."

"Within my Path Palace Sacred Land, there exists an art known as the 'Seven-Seven Heavenly Sword Soul-Slaying Art'. When unleashed, it can sever thirty percent of its target's Primordial Spirit."

The Master of Solar Fire Hall seized the moment to speak. "My Solar Fire Hall possesses a technique called the Heavenly Flame Soul Refining Art. It, too, can incinerate thirty percent of his Primordial Spirit. Regrettably, I have not yet mastered this art myself."

At this point, Master of Solar Fire Hall turned to Eldrin Chen and said, "I am willing to impart this art to Fellow Cultivator Eldrin. With your innate talent and the Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame Path Principles, you will undoubtedly master it."

"Very well."

Eldrin Chen did not decline. He spoke, "However, before I can cultivate the 'Heavenly Flame Soul Refining Art', we must first find a sacred site to temporarily imprison it."

"Let us go to the North Sea of Darkness," the Kunpeng Demon Sage spoke up, his expression grave. "The abyssal vortex of the North Sea of Darkness is one of the three most perilous places under heaven. Its extreme frigid energy [a cold so profound it can freeze even spiritual essence] can freeze all things and should be capable of sealing it."

The Lord of the Path Palace nodded in agreement. "Allow this old man to perform rites for forty-nine days, first to weaken its Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] by thirty percent. Then, with the Eight Trigrams Immortal Refining Formation and the Big Dipper Seven Stars Formation among other Formation [a structured arrangement of energy and objects to create specific magical effects], we shall trap it within the North Sea of Darkness Abyss. Success will be assured."

"Agreed."

Eldrin Chen nodded, then clasped his hands in salute. "I entrust this matter to you all."

The Primordial Spirit of an immortal or demon possesses Immortality [the state of being deathless] and Indestructibility [the quality of being unbreakable]. Even a mere Second Primordial Spirit [a secondary spiritual avatar split from the main soul] formed from a wisp of its soul is incredibly difficult for the methods of the mortal world to utterly extinguish.

Everyone joined forces to act, aiming to annihilate the Second Primordial Spirit of the Outer Realm Demon God [a powerful demonic entity from beyond this world].

The Lord of the Path Palace gathered the various required treasures and performed the rites for forty-nine consecutive days, finally succeeding in unleashing the 'Seven-Seven Heavenly Sword Soul-Slaying Art'.

Witness a Soul-Severing Heavenly Sword soaring into the heavens, it actually ignored the physical body of the Outer Realm Demon God and annihilated three-tenths of its divine soul [the spiritual consciousness and essence of a being].

"Aaaargh—!"

The Outer Realm Demon God let out a wretched scream, struggling violently on the spot. Unfortunately, Eldrin Chen personally took action to suppress it. Combined with the strength of the others, they pinned it down, rendering it utterly immobile.

With its divine soul diminished by three-tenths, the Primordial Spirit power of the Outer Realm Demon God was severely damaged. It could no longer fully control the Eastern Sovereign's Physical Body. Now, even without Eldrin Chen's direct intervention, the assembled group was sufficient to temporarily restrain it.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen nodded. "We shall take it to the North Sea of Darkness Abyss now. The ultimate frigid waters of heaven and earth will serve as its prison. Once I master the 'Heavenly Flame Spirit Refining Art', its doom will be sealed."

Eldrin Chen personally maintained the suppression of the Eastern Sovereign's Physical Body as the group journeyed towards the North Sea of Darkness. Before long, they had successfully sealed it within the depths of that abyssal sea. For the best reading experience, visit audio-novel . com.

With the power of the North Sea of Darkness Abyss now aiding their efforts, Eldrin Chen was finally able to extricate himself and begin cultivating the Heavenly Flame Spirit-Refining Art.

This 'Heavenly Flame Spirit Refining Art' was a Superior Primordial Solar Divine Abilities [a supreme-level divine art of the primordial sun], possessing the wondrous ability to specifically target and counter a cultivator's divine soul.

Among Primordial Solar Divine Ability, its raw destructive power was not considered top-tier. However, its capacity to directly assault a cultivator's Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and highest form of consciousness] made it an esoteric and specialized Divine Ability uniquely lethal to souls.

Eldrin Chen had cultivated and gained insights into the Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame Path Principles. Although he had not yet fully solidified these Path Principles [the fundamental laws and truths of a cultivation path] from the abstract to the tangible, comprehending this 'Heavenly Flame Spirit Refining Art' came to him with divine ease, as if heaven itself were assisting him.

With the aid of the Sixth Rank Enlightenment Tea [a rare tea that greatly enhances one's comprehension and enlightenment], Eldrin Chen required a mere six years to master the Heavenly Flame Spirit Refining Art [a profound technique for refining spiritual essence with heavenly fire]. After another seven years, he had cultivated it to its grand completion.

"It is done!"

Having perfected the Heavenly Flame Spirit Refining Art, Eldrin Chen wasted no time and immediately journeyed to the North Sea of Darkness Abyss [a frigid, lightless sea in the northernmost reaches of the world].

There, he summoned a cataclysmic tide of the Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame [the primordial, purifying fire of the sun]. Defying the resilience of the Eastern Sovereign's Physical Body [the indestructible corporeal form of a sovereign from the east], the flames relentlessly scoured the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and essence of a cultivator] of the Outer Realm Demon God [a malevolent deity from a realm beyond this world].

"Aaaargh!"

The Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame was supremely tyrannical. Its searing touch inflicted agony of the most excruciating kind, wrenching a shrill, wretched scream from the Primordial Spirit of the Outer Realm Demon God.

This terrifying Heavenly Flame [a flame of celestial origin possessing immense purifying and destructive power] blazed for seven times seven days—forty-nine days in total. It burned until the Outer Realm Demon God was rendered utterly feeble.

Only when the demon god's spiritual power had been whittled down to a mere thirty or forty percent did it begin to muster some resistance against the Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame.

"Heh heh heh…"

Though weakened to the extreme, the Outer Realm Demon God managed a vicious, sneering laugh. "This Heavenly Flame Soul Refining Art is indeed Extraordinary [a name meaning 'uncommon' or 'remarkable']. But at most, it can only refine away thirty percent of this venerable one's Primordial Spirit."

"Since you cannot utterly annihilate me, you must expend a vast amount of your energy to contain me," the voice snarled. "The day will come when my true self arrives in person, and I shall repay the debt incurred today."

"Is that so?"

Watching the Outer Realm Demon God [a powerful entity from beyond this world] continue its arrogant tirade, Eldrin Chen remained utterly calm, as if he had long anticipated this.

In one swift motion, he seized the Outer Realm Demon God and soared out of the North Sea of Darkness [a vast, lightless northern ocean], flying straight towards the Eastern Region Great Wasteland [the desolate and perilous eastern continent].
