Chapter 1031 : Divine Thunder and Azure Luan

As Void-Refining Immortal [a title for an immortal skilled in refining the void] recounted the tale, Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] wore an expression of profound gravity.

Compared to that Lingering Sun Child [a cultivator from the Lingering Sun lineage], these two were the true paragons of their generation; their innate talent far surpassed that of the Lingering Sun Blessed Land [a sacred cultivation site].

Of the two, the Azure Firmament Goddess [a divine being born from heavenly thunder] was born from the manifestation of the Azure Firmament Divine Thunder [a supreme form of heavenly lightning]. Such innate Divine Spirits [beings born with divine nature and power], like the Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder God [a thunder deity of immense power] from the ancient Purple Seal Realm [a former cultivation world], are counted among the Nine Heavens Thunder God [the nine supreme deities of thunder].

They are born with mastery over the Thunderclap Path Principles [the fundamental laws of thunder and lightning], making their combat prowess rank among the very pinnacle even within the Divine Spirits [the realm of divine beings].

The Azure Firmament Goddess before them had emerged into the world a mere three hundred thousand years ago, yet she had already cultivated to the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm]. Her Companion Supreme Treasure [a treasure born alongside a divine being], the 'Azure Firmament Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Mirror' [a mirror that commands heavenly thunder tribulations], had even reached the grade of a top-tier Postnatal Spiritual Treasure [a supreme treasure forged after the creation of the world].

As for the Immortal Maiden Azure Luan [a graceful immortal maiden with the form of an azure luan bird], she was an Acquired Gale Azure Luan [a mythical azure luan bird born from the power of the acquired gale], also conceived from the Acquired Gale Path Principles [the fundamental laws of the acquired gale]. Her strength had long since transcended the ninth level of the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the realm of Ascendant Immortals].

"An Acquired Gale Azure Luan," Eldrin murmured, the name heavy with implication.

Upon grasping the formidable power of these two beings, Eldrin Chen could not help but recall the Solar Fire Vermilion Bird [a mythical vermilion bird of solar fire] he had left behind in the Purple Seal Realm.

That Solar Fire Vermilion Bird, after being nurtured by the Primordial Chaos Violet Aura [the supreme violet energy from the dawn of creation], had undergone a metamorphosis in its fundamental nature. Born from the Acquired Solar Fire Path Principles [the fundamental laws of acquired solar fire], its innate talent and foundation were in no way inferior to this Acquired Gale Azure Luan.

Noticing the shift in Eldrin Chen's expression, the Void-Refining Immortal spoke again, his tone grave. "You were the one who quelled the Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly calamity] in the Purple Seal Realm. In terms of innate potential, you may very well surpass both of them."

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

Void-Refining Immortal spoke with measured gravity, informing him that Azure Firmament Goddess had become a disciple under a Path Tribulation Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal who has survived the tribulations of their cultivation path], whose master was one of the most supreme Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the realm of an Earthly Immortal] within the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea.

The Phoenix Roost Sea behind Immortal Maiden Azure Luan was, furthermore, one of the most powerful Demon Race [a race of powerful, often shape-shifting beings] sea territories within the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea.

"Phoenix Roost Sea, Path Tribulation Earth Immortal..."

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment, yet his expression 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 was revealed. With but a single glance, Eldrin Chen faintly perceived the outline of a majestic and ancient path stretching into infinity.

"To glimpse merely a corner, and find it vaster than the entire Purple Seal Realm... Is this the scale of an Earth Immortal World [a world governed by an Earth Immortal]?"

As the thought flashed through Eldrin Chen's mind, he saw the eyes of numerous Immortal [powerful beings who have transcended mortality] open within the void.

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

With their cultivation levels being relatively lower, Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title meaning 'One Who Refines the Void'] and Eldrin Chen did not rush to charge in. They waited until most others had entered before making their move.

"Be careful. You must stay behind me."

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

Eldrin Chen nodded and followed Void-Refining Immortal through the spatial rift. He felt as if Space-Time [the fabric of reality encompassing space and time] stretched into a distant, ethereal vastness. With a single step, he found himself in an entirely different Mortal Realm [a plane of existence where ordinary mortals reside].

It was a world of extreme heat, a realm of flame where endless mountain ranges were cloaked in nothing but scorching fire.

And high in the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome or firmament], a crimson sun hung suspended, radiating boundless light and searing heat.

"The Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to a realm where they can create their own small world] who once ruled this Crimson Sun Blessed Land [a land blessed with potent solar energies] primarily cultivated the 'Crimson Flame Divine Fire' [a supreme divine flame technique] from among the Flame Path Principles [the fundamental laws and techniques governing fire-based cultivation]."

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

Gazing upon the world of fire 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 heart of the Earth Immortal World.

They had not flown far when Eldrin Chen's gaze sharpened. He altered his course, veering towards one side.

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

"What is this…"

As they hovered above the crater's rim, Void-Refining Immortal's eyes widened slightly. Discover more cultivation stories at www . audio-novel.com.

Within the crater, molten lava churned and boiled. Growing amidst the inferno was a cluster of strange, crimson-hued fruit.

"Primordial Solar Fruit!"

Void-Refining Immortal murmured the name, a flicker of pleasant surprise crossing his features.

The Primordial Solar Fruit was a rare Primordial Solar Spirit Herb. Back in the Mortal Realm, Eldrin Chen had used this very fruit to refine several potent elixirs. For any cultivator, the value of the Primordial Solar Fruit was truly immense.

However, it is generally accepted that the Primordial Solar Fruit [a rare spiritual fruit imbued with the essence of the primordial sun] reaches its natural limit at the Sixth Rank [a high level of spiritual potency for herbs and treasures]. For a true Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality], its value is considered rather ordinary.

The reason these particular Primordial Solar Fruit could elicit such delight from Void-Refining Immortal [an immortal title signifying mastery over the void] is precisely because they were anything but ordinary.

Before them stretched a grove of nearly one hundred Primordial Solar Fruit plants. While the majority pulsed with the aura of the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core cultivation stage], three stood apart, their forms shimmering with a pure, radiant gold.

Those three plants were wreathed in a halo of Primordial Solar [pertaining to the primordial sun] immortal light, with a faint, unmistakable current of Immortal Energy [the purified, potent energy wielded by immortals] swirling within. Astonishingly, they had transcended their mortal bounds and ascended to the Immortal Grade.

"They are actually Immortal Grade Primordial Solar Fruit [Primordial Solar Fruit that has undergone a miraculous transformation to the immortal level]," Void-Refining Immortal murmured, his voice filled with awe.

Void-Refining Immortal whispered, his face alight with profound joy.

In theory, it is exceedingly difficult for Primordial Solar Fruit to break through to the Immortal Grade. Yet, nothing in the cosmos is absolute. This volcanic caldera had concentrated Primordial Solar Energy [the fundamental energy of the primordial sun] for millions of years. Over such an immense span, the number of Primordial Solar Fruit it had nurtured surely numbered in the tens of thousands.

With such an abundance of Primordial Solar Fruit growing undisturbed for millions of years, never harvested, it was perhaps inevitable. Three among them had undergone a miraculous mutation, shattering the limits of their kind and completing the metamorphosis into Immortal treasures.

Once a Primordial Solar Fruit ascends to the Immortal Grade, a wisp of Primordial Solar Immortal Energy coalesces within its core.

This Primordial Solar Immortal Energy is a potent tonic even for an Immortal, capable of nourishing a cultivator's Immortal Embryo [the nascent immortal form within a cultivator]. If refined into an Immortal Pill [a pill of immortal grade], it could significantly accelerate an Immortal's cultivation progress.

Gazing upon the Primordial Solar Fruit before him, Void-Refining Immortal said with delight, "If we refine these three Immortal Grade Primordial Solar Fruit into Immortal Pill, perhaps we can save ourselves tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation."

"Indeed."

Eldrin Chen's expression was also one of great joy, but just as he was about to speak, his countenance suddenly hardened with alarm.

In that instant, he swiftly swept his sleeve, storing the Primordial Solar Fruit away, and prepared to withdraw.

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

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

"I expended some effort to track your aura here, intending merely to slay you within this Earth Immortal World," the figure spoke.

"I never imagined you would stumble upon this Primordial Solar Fruit. It seems my journey today was not in vain."

A light laugh echoed through the void. The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor looked upon the Immortal Grade Primordial Solar Fruit with evident pleasure.

It turned out the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor had followed Eldrin Chen's aura here with the intent to slay him and thereby reclaim Green Chariot Island.

"Be careful."

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

The Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor possessed cultivation at the Late Ascendant Immortal Realm. With his own strength, Void-Refining Immortal knew he stood no chance. He felt that Eldrin Chen's methods were Extraordinary; perhaps by joining forces, they could put up a desperate 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 Void-Refining Immortal certain they were outmatched.

Thus, with an expression of utmost gravity, he moved to shield Eldrin Chen and said, "I will hold off the Crimson Flame Divine Eagle Emperor. You must flee for your life."

"You cannot escape. Among those of equal realm, who can match the peerless Extreme Speed of my Crimson Flame Divine Eagle lineage?" This novel is serialized on audio-novel*com. Visit for updates.
