Chapter 1031 : Thunder Gods and Azure Simurghs

As Void-Refining Immortal recounted the tale, Eldrin Chen's expression grew solemn.

Compared to that Duskfall Scion, these two were true paragons of their generation, their innate talents far surpassing those of the Setting Sun Blessed Land.

Of the two, the Azure Firmament Goddess was born from the manifestation of the Azure Firmament Divine Thunder. These kinds of natural-born deities, like the Myriad Tribulations Thunder God of the Purple Realm in ages past, are among the ranks of the Nine Heavens Thunder Gods.

They are born with mastery over the Thunder Law [the fundamental principles governing thunder and lightning], their combat prowess ranking among the pinnacle even among divine beings.

The Azure Firmament Goddess before them had been born a mere three hundred thousand years ago, yet she had already cultivated to the ninth level of the Ascendant Immortal realm. Her companion treasure, the 'Azure Firmament Thunder Tribulation Mirror', had even reached the grade of a Supreme Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.

As for the Azure Simurgh Immortal Maiden, she was an Acquired Gale Azure Simurgh [a mythical azure bird born from the essence of the acquired gale], also conceived from the Acquired Gale Law [the principles of the acquired wind]. Her strength had already far surpassed the ninth level of the Ascension Immortal Realm.

"An Acquired Gale Azure Simurgh."

Upon comprehending the might of these two beings, Eldrin Chen could not help but recall the Separated Flame Vermilion Bird [a mythical vermilion bird of separated flame] he had left behind in the Purple Realm.

That Separated Flame Vermilion Bird, after being nurtured by Primordial Essence [the purest, most fundamental energy of creation], had undergone a metamorphosis in its foundational nature. Conceived from the Acquired Separated Flame Law [the principles of the acquired separated flame], its innate talent and foundation were in no way inferior to this Acquired Gale Azure Simurgh.

Noticing the shift in Eldrin Chen's demeanor, the Void-Refining Immortal spoke again with grave emphasis, "You were the one who quelled the calamity of the Purple Realm. In terms of innate talent, you may well surpass both of them." For uninterrupted reading, go to audio-novel.com.

"However, these two individuals are not only immensely powerful, but their backgrounds are also profoundly formidable."

Void-Refining Immortal spoke with measured gravity, informing him that Azure Firmament Goddess had become a disciple under a Tribulation Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal who has survived the Celestial Tribulation], and that her Master was one of the most supreme Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal who has attained the Earth Immortal realm] within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

The Phoenix Roost Sea backing Azure Simurgh Immortal Maiden was, furthermore, one of the most powerful Demonic Tribe [a powerful faction or territory ruled by demonic beings] seas within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

"Phoenix Roost Sea, Tribulation Earth Immortal…"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment, yet his countenance remained as calm and unruffled as still water.

He then lifted his gaze, looking towards the Crimson Sun Sea before him, and declared, "The time has come."

"*Hummm—*"

At that very moment, a resonant hum emanated from the depths of the Crimson Sun Sea, and a fissure manifested within the void.

Through the rent in space, a glimpse of a vast, boundless world could be seen. With but a single glance, Eldrin Chen faintly perceived the outline of an ancient path of monumental scale.

"To glimpse merely a corner, and find it vaster than the entire Purple Realm... is this the Earth Immortal World [the realm or world inhabited by Earth Immortals]?"

As thoughts flashed through Eldrin Chen's mind, he saw the eyes of numerous Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality] open within the void.

In the span of a mere Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time], the waiting Immortal swarmed forth, instantly flooding into the Earth Immortal World [a world created and sustained by an Earth Immortal].

Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title signifying mastery over void energies] and Eldrin Chen, their cultivation levels being relatively lower, did not rush to charge in. They waited until most others had entered before making their move.

"Be careful. You must stay close behind me."

Before stepping into the Earth Immortal World, Void-Refining Immortal spoke with grave seriousness.

Eldrin Chen gave a nod. Following Void-Refining Immortal, he passed through the spatial rift. A sensation of traversing vast, ethereal distances washed over him, and with a single step, the world around him transformed.

They found themselves in a world of extreme heat, a realm of flame. Endless mountain ranges stretched before them, all ablaze with scorching fire.

And high in the Firmament [the heavens, the sky], a crimson sun hung suspended, radiating boundless light and searing heat.

"The Earth Immortal [an immortal whose power is anchored to and manifests a physical world] who once ruled this Crimson Sun Blessed Land cultivated a path centered on the 'Crimson Flame Divine Fire' [a supreme divine flame], a profound art from within the Flame Law [the overarching principles and techniques governing flame]."

"Thus, within this Earth Immortal World, the dominant power is that of the 'Crimson Sun Divine Flame,' which is why it is known as the Crimson Sun Divine Fire Realm."

Gazing upon the fiery world before them, Void-Refining Immortal began to speak, his expression turning grave. "This realm still retains some of the methods left behind by the Earth Immortal of old. We must proceed with caution."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement. Together, the two of them flew deeper into the Earth Immortal Realm.

They had not flown for long when Eldrin Chen's gaze sharpened slightly. He then changed course, veering off to one side.

The Void-Refining Immortal followed closely behind, and they soon arrived before the mouth of a volcano.

"This is..."

As they flew over the volcanic crater, the Void-Refining Immortal's eyes widened in momentary surprise. Support the author by reading on @udio-novel.com.

Within the crater, molten lava churned and boiled. Growing amidst it was a cluster of strange, crimson fruits.

"Pure Yang Fruit!"

The Void-Refining Immortal murmured the name, a look of pleasant astonishment spreading across his face.

The Pure Yang Fruit is a rare type of Pure Yang Spiritual Herbs. Back in the Mortal Realm, Eldrin Chen had used this fruit to refine several types of Pill. It can be said that the value of the Pure Yang Fruit is exceedingly precious to any cultivator.

However, it is generally accepted that the Pure Yang Fruit [a spiritual fruit imbued with pure Yang energy] reaches its limit upon growing to the Sixth Rank [the sixth major stage of cultivation], rendering its value rather ordinary for an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality].

The reason these particular Pure Yang Fruit [spiritual fruits imbued with pure Yang energy] could bring delight to Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title meaning 'One Who Refines the Void'] is because they were anything but ordinary.

Before them stretched a grove of nearly one hundred Pure Yang Fruit [spiritual fruits imbued with pure Yang energy]. Most were of Nascent Soul Grade [the cultivation grade corresponding to the Nascent Soul realm], yet three among them shone with a lustrous, pure gold hue.

Those three Pure Yang Fruit [spiritual fruits imbued with pure Yang energy] were wreathed in Pure Yang Immortal Light [a radiant light of pure Yang energy], with a faint, circulating trace of Immortal Qi [the quintessential energy of immortals]. Astonishingly, they had ascended into the ranks of the Immortal Rank [the grade of items suitable for immortals].

"They are actually Immortal Grade Pure Yang Fruit [Pure Yang Fruits that have ascended to immortal grade]," Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title meaning 'One Who Refines the Void'] murmured, his face alight with profound joy.

In principle, Pure Yang Fruit [spiritual fruits imbued with pure Yang energy] find it exceedingly difficult to advance to immortal grade. Yet, nothing in this world is absolute. This volcanic crater had gathered Pure Yang Qi [the pure, masculine energy of the sun and heavens] for millions of years, nurturing far more than ten thousand Pure Yang Fruit [spiritual fruits imbued with pure Yang energy] over that immense span.

With so many Pure Yang Fruit [spiritual fruits imbued with pure Yang energy] growing continuously for millions of years, left entirely unpicked, three among them ultimately underwent a miraculous mutation. They transcended their inherent limitations and metamorphosed into the immortal grade.

Once a Pure Yang Fruit [a spiritual fruit imbued with pure Yang energy] ascends to immortal grade, a wisp of Pure Yang Immortal Qi [immortal-grade energy of pure Yang essence] is nurtured within its core.

This Pure Yang Immortal Qi [immortal-grade energy of pure Yang essence] is a potent tonic even for Immortal [beings who have ascended to immortality]. It can nourish a cultivator's Immortal Embryo [the nascent immortal form within an immortal's body]. If used to refine a Cloud-Patterned Immortal Pill [an immortal-grade pill marked with cloud-like patterns], it can even significantly accelerate an Immortal's [a being who has ascended to immortality] cultivation progress.

Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title meaning 'One Who Refines the Void'] whispered, his expression one of boundless delight.

Gazing upon the Pure Yang Fruit [a legendary fruit brimming with pure Yang energy] before him, Void-Refining Immortal [a title for an immortal who refines the void] spoke with delight, "If we refine these three Immortal Grade Pure Yang Fruit [the highest grade of Pure Yang Fruit] into Ascending to Immortality [the final breakthrough pill to ascend to immortality] pills, perhaps we can save ourselves tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation."

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen's expression was also one of great joy. He was just about to speak when his countenance abruptly hardened with alarm.

In that instant, he swiftly swept his sleeve, storing the Pure Yang Fruit away, and prepared to withdraw from the area.

Yet, from the void, two streaks of crimson light flashed, barring their path forward.

Two figures descended from the sky above. The leader, a tall and slender figure wreathed in flowing flames, strode forward with an imposing presence.

"I expended some effort this time to track your aura here, intending merely to slay you within this Earth Immortal Realm [a realm inhabited by Earth Immortals]," the figure spoke.

"I never imagined you would have discovered these Pure Yang Fruit. It seems my journey today has not been in vain."

A light chuckle echoed through the void. It was the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor [a powerful demon emperor], his gaze fixed upon the Immortal Grade Pure Yang Fruit, revealing a glint of avaricious pleasure.

It turned out the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor had followed Eldrin Chen's aura here with the intent to slay him and, in doing so, reclaim Green Chariot Island [a significant location].

"Be careful."

Seeing the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor bar his path, Void-Refining Immortal's expression shifted slightly.

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor's cultivation had reached the Late Stage Immortal Ascension Realm. With his own power, he stood no chance. He thought that Eldrin Chen possessed extraordinary methods; perhaps by joining forces, they could put up a fight.

But not only had the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor come personally, he had also brought the Grand Elder of the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Lineage. This made him certain they were outmatched.

Thus, his face grave, he moved to shield Eldrin Chen and said, "I will hold off the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor. You must flee."

"You cannot escape. In this realm, who can match the peerless speed of my Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Lineage?" This content originates from @udio-novel.com. Please respect copyright.
