Chapter 1030 : Birth of the Crimson Sun God

It is said that millions of years ago, this was a Pure Yang [a state of pure, unadulterated masculine cosmic energy] Immortal Vein [a supreme spiritual land where heaven and earth's energies converge] where the Qi [the vital energy that flows through all living things] of Pure Yang gathered.

At the very heart of that Pure Yang Immortal Vein lay a Crimson Sun Stone Womb [a primordial stone egg imbued with the essence of the crimson sun]. That stone womb, nurtured over several Calamity Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial that reshapes epochs], eventually gave birth to an Innate Divine Spirit [a god born directly from the essence of heaven and earth, not through cultivation].

And that Innate Divine Spirit, was none other than the one who would later be known as the Setting Sun Celestial God [the Celestial Deity of the Waning Sun].

Born of heaven and earth, the Setting Sun Celestial God was an Innate Divine Spirit inherently embodying the origin [the fundamental source or essence] of the Crimson Sun. His natural aptitude and Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and unshakable spiritual foundation of a cultivator] could truly be called peerless throughout the ages.

At the very moment the Setting Sun Celestial God was about to emerge into the world, his Companion Spirit Treasure [a magical treasure born alongside a being, sharing a profound destiny]—the Crimson Sun Halberd—ascended directly to the realm of an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure born from the primordial chaos of creation].

Treasures stir the hearts of men. An Innate Spiritual Treasure is a coveted object even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal who has attained the pinnacle of the Great Luo realm], let alone for the Heaven Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the celestial realm] of the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain [the Celestial Realm of the Azure Firmament].

In the end, several dozen Heaven Immortal, heedless of the immense Karmic Burden [the metaphysical debt of cause and effect incurred by one's actions] from heaven and earth, fought to seize it. They grievously wounded the newly born Crimson Sun Celestial God.

And that priceless Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Crimson Sun Halberd, was snatched away by a Calamity Ancient Immortal [an ancient immortal who has survived numerous heavenly calamities].

Thereafter, although the Crimson Sun Celestial God entered the world, he lacked his crucial companion Spiritual Treasure [an enchanted artifact of great power]. His comprehension of the Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles that govern reality and the cosmos] could never achieve perfection. The Laws of the Dao of the Crimson Sun transformed into those of the Waning Sun, and his power was greatly diminished.

It was precisely for this reason that the Setting Sun Celestial God ultimately failed to transcend his Calamity Tribulation. He passed away seated within the Setting Sun Sea [the Sea of the Setting Sun], his Dao [the fundamental principle or path] dissolving into the world to form the Setting Sun Blessed Land [the Blessed Land of the Setting Sun]. This chapter is part of a larger work available at site: audio-novel.com.

The Pure Yang Immortal Vein [a vein of land imbued with immortal-grade spiritual energy] that nurtured the Crimson Sun Celestial Deity originally had the potential to transform into a Crimson Sun Grotto-Heaven [a self-contained minor world of immense spiritual power] following the deity's birth.

However, due to that cataclysmic battle and the crucial loss of the Crimson Sun Halberd, it ultimately degraded, falling to the rank of a Blessed Land [a sacred territory of high spiritual density, lesser than a Grotto-Heaven].

Thereafter, this Blessed Land was occupied by the former Crimson Flame Immortal Sect, giving rise to what later became known as the Crimson Sun Blessed Land.

Eldrin Chen recalled the rumors surrounding the Crimson Sun Blessed Land before speaking with a trace of gravity in his voice. "Is it true that the former Crimson Sun Blessed Land was indeed absorbed into an Earth Immortal Realm [the personal inner world of an Earth Immortal cultivator]?"

"The Earth Immortal Realm has opened four times now. That fact should be beyond doubt,"

Void-Refining Immortal [a title for an immortal who refines the void] nodded and replied calmly.

It turned out that the final Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal whose power is tied to the earth] of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, unwilling to see his lineage extinguished completely, had used his own Earth Immortal World to envelop and conceal the Crimson Sun Blessed Land.

His original intention was for either himself or one of the three Earth Immortal from the Crimson Sun Blessed Land to reclaim this land once they had cultivated back to the Earth Immortal Realm [the cultivation realm of an Earth Immortal].

Unfortunately, bound by the rules of the Great Dao [the supreme, fundamental principle of the universe], once such a mighty Earth Immortal enters the cycle of Reincarnation [the transmigration of the soul], they must cultivate back to the Earth Immortal Realm before their past-life memories can be restored.

Yet, once one enters the Cycle of Reincarnation [the wheel of rebirth], uncertainty reigns supreme. The path to cultivating back to the Earth Immortal realm is fraught with immense difficulty. Moreover, with the Crimson Sun Blessed Land already destroyed, there were no powerful seniors to orchestrate their Reincarnation and lay the groundwork for their return.

Now, after tens of millions of years have passed, the treasures within this Earth Immortal Realm [a blessed land inhabited by Earth Immortals] have never been retrieved, indicating that none of the three Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal who has attained enlightenment on earth] from the Crimson Sun Blessed Land have ever returned.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen nodded gravely and spoke with immense solemnity, "The legacy of an Earth Immortal Blessed Land [a realm created and sustained by an Earth Immortal]... it seems we must still proceed with utmost caution."

As they conversed, the two arrived at the heart of the Crimson Sun Sea Region.

Within this majestic expanse of sea, Eldrin Chen swept his gaze and immediately sensed over a hundred formidable auras.

There, in the void, stood numerous Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality], poised upon the wind.

Among them were peerlessly beautiful Immortal Maidens, awe-inspiring Nine Heavens Deity [deities of the highest heavens], and peerless Demon Immortal [immortals who have ascended from demonic origins].

The auras of these Immortal varied greatly. There were Immortal at the Early Stage Ascension Immortal Realm [the initial stage after ascending to immortality], but the majority possessed cultivation at the mid or late stages of the Ascendant Immortal [an immortal who has recently ascended] realm.

With but a single glance, Eldrin Chen identified more than thirty powerful beings at the Late Stage Ascendant Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage for a recently ascended immortal].

Among them were figures like Crimson Dragon Scion, Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor, and Six Stars Immortal.

Furthermore, some individuals were truly astonishing, their auras far more terrifying than even that of Xander Qian.

"Does it feel like there are rather many Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators [those who have ascended to the final major stage before the peak of immortality]?"

At this moment, Void-Refining Immortal [a title for an immortal who refines the void] suddenly spoke.

His expression was profoundly grave, tinged with a hint of unwillingness as he said, "The timing of our ascension was not ideal. Only sixty thousand years remain until the next Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic, world-shaking calamity that occurs at fixed cosmic intervals]."

"The Immortal Domain [the realm of the immortals] has enjoyed peace for a million years. Any Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and achieved immortality] with even modest talent, cultivating diligently and free from calamity for seven or eight hundred thousand years, can amass enough resources over that near-million-year span to reach the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen also felt a wave of helplessness. He was merely over seven thousand years old and had already attained the Ascension to Immortality Realm [the realm of one who has ascended to immortality].

Compared to these ancient immortals who had lived for seven or eight hundred thousand years, his own cultivation time did not even amount to a fraction of theirs. For more chapters, visit audio-novel*com for the complete novel.

Even if his innate talent was superior, those capable of Ascending to Immortality were no dullards. Hundreds of millennia of bitter cultivation was not a gap he could close in an instant.

If not for the astonishing power of the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation art harnessing the boundless power of primordial chaos] and his absolute confidence in his own strength, Eldrin Chen might not have dared to come to this place at all.

"It seems I must not underestimate the heroes of this world," he mused inwardly.

"For this journey, it is best to maintain a low profile and avoid provoking powerful enemies."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, his gaze sharpening with a profound sense of gravity.

To be fair, an ordinary Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] was enough to give Eldrin Chen pause, but not to instill true fear.

However, among these Immortal [immortal beings], seven or eight emanated auras so terrifyingly potent that they were likely individuals who had weathered two or three heavenly tribulations.

The strength of these few was truly formidable. Though they had not reached the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a realm just below that of an Earth Immortal], their cultivation was comparable to the ninth layer of an Ascendant Immortal [a high-tier immortal], placing them a notch above even Crimson Dragon Scion in terms of power.

But the most critical factor was…

Eldrin Chen's focus narrowed, his eyes drawn irresistibly to three figures amidst the gathering.

High in the void, three individuals stood out with arresting presence: a youth clad in White Robe [a white robe], a woman of peerless beauty wreathed in crackling lightning, and another woman adorned in phoenix feathers—Nyssa.

Noticing the shift in Eldrin Chen's demeanor, Void-Refining Immortal [the Void-Refining Immortal] followed his gaze. A look of utmost solemnity settled upon his features.

"So they have come as well," he uttered.

"Be cautious. Once inside, if you see those three, steer clear without hesitation."

Void-Refining Immortal swiftly averted his gaze, his expression turning profoundly grave as he spoke.

Noticing the look on Void-Refining Immortal's face, Eldrin Chen felt a flicker of confusion and could not help but inquire, "Does the Ancient Ancestor know them?"

"I have heard whispers of their names."

Void-Refining Immortal drew a deep breath, his countenance solemn as he declared, "That White Robe-clad youth bears the Daoist title 'Duskfall Scion' and is the foremost disciple [the primary disciple under a master's direct tutelage] of the Duskfall Sect."

"He is the personal disciple [a disciple personally taught and guided by a master] of an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a foundational immortal who has attained the Earth Immortal realm]. It is said he is also a Third Tribulation Immortal [an immortal who has survived three heavenly tribulations], and though his strength has not yet stepped into the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm [a quasi-realm bordering the true Earth Immortal stage], he commands a Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal grade]."

"Thirty thousand years ago, he once single-handedly held his own against three ninth-level Ascendant Immortals [immortals of the Ascendant realm] without falling into a disadvantageous position."

Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted slightly. To contend alone against three ninth-level Ascendant Immortals... this Duskfall Scion was likely not far from the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, thirty thousand years hence, the Setting Sun Blessed Land would gain another Ancient Ancestor of the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

With this thought, he shifted his gaze to the other two figures.

Seeing this, Void-Refining Immortal spoke again with grave solemnity, "The one wreathed in crackling lightning is named Azure Firmament Goddess. It is said she is a deity born from the manifestation of the Azure Firmament Divine Thunder [a divine thunder ability of the azure heavens]."

"That woman garbed in Nyssa is most likely the one known as the Azure Simurgh Immortal Maiden [a powerful cultivator whose spirit is said to be as graceful and noble as the legendary Azure Simurgh]."

"These two possess talents of such staggering breadth and depth, even more astonishing than those of Duskfall Scion." For uninterrupted reading, go to (audio-novel.com).
