Chapter 1217. Comprehending the Tianbei(Artifact), The Pinnacle of Laws
After the fall of the Tianyu Clan, they transformed into overwhelming baleful energy that scattered in all directions.
Eldrin channeled the Pure Yang Celestial Flame, refining the vast expanse of baleful aura into wispy trails of azure smoke.
When all was said and done, the Sky Prison Clan had been utterly annihilated, leaving behind nothing but an exceptionally refined wisp of black baleful qi.
Netherworld Earthly Fiend.
Gazing at the wisp of murderous aura before him, a faint ripple of movement crossed Eldrin’s brow.
This Netherworld Earthly Fiend stands as 1 of the most dreadful fiendish energies among all those existing between heaven and earth. Not only does it possess unparalleled destructive power, but it can also corrupt immortal essence and celestial treasures.
This mass before him was the very source of the Heaven Prison Clan’s baleful energy. So potent and domineering was it that not even the Pure Yang Celestial Flame could refine it in a short time.
Seeing this, Eldrin did not attempt further refinement. Instead, he channeled his Primordial Chaos power to draw it into a precious vessel.
This Netherworld Earthly Fiend energy is exceptionally pure, capable of refining demonic treasures and unique supernatural arts, and can also be employed to consecrate and refine specialized immortal weapons of slaughter.
Its value was hard to determine, and it might very well prove useful someday.
That being said, after Eldrin defeated the Heavenly Prison Clan, the assembled immortals finally witnessed his true power. No demon immortal or divine spirit dared to challenge him again.
Thus Eldrin waited several more days, until the slots upon the 3 1000 celestial pillars were finalized. The Sea of Celestial Steles Sword Assembly was now completely concluded.
"It's done!"
Only then did Eldrin finally breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
This time at the Heavenly Stele Sea Sword Contest, all 5 of them had secured the opportunity to comprehend the Heavenly Stele, finally achieving what they had long desired.
"Hum!"
Just as these thoughts raced through Eldrin’s mind, he felt the stone pillar beneath his feet tremble faintly.
But then, the stone pillar suddenly erupted with dazzling immortal light, and in an instant, they were transported beyond the void.
When they regained their senses, they found themselves standing before a colossal celestial stele.
"This is..."
Law Celestial Stele!
The assembled immortals exchanged whispers, each revealing a hint of a smile.
The opportunity to comprehend the Law Stele came only once every 100 1000 years. Everyone present cherished this rare chance dearly, so there was naturally no hesitation.
They immediately sat on the ground and began to contemplate the power of the Heavenly Stele.
Eldrin did not hesitate either. After a brief nod to Lyra and the others nearby, he lowered his gaze to contemplate the Heaven-Stele.
Boom!
A wisp of divine sense from Eldrin (Person Name) probed into the celestial stele. In a fleeting trance, he felt the primordial chaos enveloping the 4 directions and the formless void permeating the 8 wildernesses.
In this chaotic world, all was disorder and confusion. The laws of the heavens remained concealed, and all things existed without essence or genesis, making him feel as though he were being crushed, struggling for breath.
He had no idea how much time had passed when, in his dazed state, he faintly heard a thunderous roar—like the primordial sound of creation splitting heaven from earth.
He lifted his gaze to survey his surroundings, and within the chaos, a brilliant light emerged as an immensely majestic figure strode forth.
A figure clad in the robes of the Supreme Immortal Emperor emerged from the depths of chaos. In his hand, a cyan-gold war halberd cleaved through the void with devastating force. A streak of brilliant light pierced the boundless primordial expanse, tearing apart the endless chaos with unstoppable momentum.
"Boom!"
Heaven and earth roared, all things quaked.
Eldrin raised his head and gazed into the distance, witnessing the boundless expanse of the great 1000 worlds unfolding before him. 1 after another, grand universes emerged, carved into existence from the primordial chaos.
Like an illusory bubble, like an ancient myth from time immemorial.
This was an ancient existence creating the heavens.
Eldrin's divine sense was fixed unwaveringly on this scene. In a fleeting moment, within that newly born heaven and earth, he witnessed hundreds of millions of cosmic principles evolving into existence, ultimately imprinting themselves upon a single celestial stele.
"In the beginning of creation, all laws and phenomena emerged, all converging upon the Celestial Stele, through which the Great Dao may be comprehended."
Eldrin murmured softly, gathering the shock in his heart and tucking it away.
In ancient times, ‘Qing Cang’ cleaved the heavens to create the world, integrating the hundreds of millions of natural laws derived during the genesis into the Celestial Stele. The power of these laws contained within is all-encompassing—leaving nothing out, omitting nothing at all.
Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately sought out the 5 fundamental laws of Dao he cultivated and began contemplating their profundities.
With Eldrin's (Person Name) innate talent, bolstered by the Heaven-Stele's empowerment, his cultivation progressed as if he were in a state of sudden enlightenment. With the mysteries of the laws fully unveiled before him, his comprehension advanced with remarkable swiftness.
Before long, he had comprehended the Law of Pure Yang Celestial Fire to a state of flawless perfection.
This had already reached the ultimate extremity of the Ascendant Immortal Realm, where 1 more step forward would transcend beyond it to comprehend the power of laws.
Eldrin did not immediately attempt this step, instead turning his focus to comprehending the myriad other laws of power.
No 1 knew how much time had passed before Eldrin (Person Name) fully comprehended and perfected all 4 laws: the Profound Abyssal Water, the Primordial Chaos Gold, the Source Earth of All Things, and the Seed of Life.
After completing this step, the 5 laws within Eldrin's body merged and cycled, ultimately transforming into a flawless and harmonious Primordial Chaos Law.
It is done.
Eldrin’s heart surged with ecstasy. The Primordial Chaos Wuji Law was a manifestation of the Wuji Law’s power, and once cultivated to perfection, it would surpass the ultimate limits of all laws.
He had a feeling that with the power of the Primordial Chaos Wuji Law alone, he could now forcibly cleave heaven and earth, performing the very act of creation.
From this perspective, the power of the Primordial Chaos Wuji Law was already comparable to a nascent form of rules.
"With my current strength, I should be able to match even a Half-Step Earth Immortal."
Eldrin murmured to himself, a trace of confidence coloring his thoughts.
Having cultivated for tens of thousands of years to attain immortality, he had finally reached a realm where he possessed some ability to protect himself.
With the power of the Primordial Chaos Law, the 5-Colored Divine Light in his grasp, and the various spiritual treasures and divine abilities at his disposal, Eldrin's strength could at the very least rival that of a Quasi-Earth Immortal who had weathered 4 heavenly tribulations.
Chapter 1 1 100 years had passed. In the secluded valley veiled in eternal mist, a young man in azure robes sat cross-legged upon a moss-covered boulder. Countless spiritual energies swirled around him like ethereal serpents, converging toward his dantian. After an entire night of cultivation, he finally opened his eyes—twin pools of ancient wisdom gleaming within his youthful gaze. "My cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment realm," Lin Feng murmured, his voice echoing through the mountain stillness. "Yet the Golden Core remains elusive, as distant as the morning star." Suddenly, his expression shifted. From his storage ring emerged a jade slip that glowed with otherworldly light—the 9 Revolutions Heavenly Art (Cultivation Method). According to its records, breaking through to the Golden Core realm required 3 critical components: 32,000 spirit stones to form the energy foundation, 9 Yin-Yang Breaking Barrier Pills (Elixir) to shatter the realm confinement, and most importantly—a sliver of primordial chaos energy. "20-some years of searching," Lin Feng sighed, his fingers tracing the ancient patterns on the jade slip. "The primordial chaos energy remains but a legend in ancient texts." Just as contemplation deepened his frown, a crimson messenger talisman pierced through the mountain mist, hovering before him. The Grand Elder's voice resonated from it with urgency: "All disciples return to the sect immediately. The 100 Sect Alliance has issued a war decree—the Demon God's Abyss has begun to move!" Lin Feng's eyes sharpened. The Demon God's Abyss—a forbidden land that had slumbered for thousands of years, now stirring at this critical juncture of his breakthrough. Standing up, his azure robes fluttering in the mountain breeze, he glanced at the jade slip in his hand. "Perhaps... this turmoil conceals my opportunity." His figure vanished from the valley in a flash of light, leaving only swirling spiritual mist and the whisper of winds that had witnessed countless cycles of cultivation and strife.
Though he could not compare to those 5 or 6 tribulation Half-Step Earth Immortals, he had already gained the power to protect himself.
It must be understood that among Immortals, even a Half-Step Earth Immortal is considered a figure of ancestral stature. A single Half-Step Earth Immortal is at least capable of suppressing several dozen Immortals.
With such strength, he was no longer someone to be trifled with in the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea.
With this thought, Eldrin felt his confidence grow significantly. Suppressing his inner musings, he turned his gaze once more toward the 4 Extremes Stele.
"The hour is still early. I may yet contemplate the myriad forces of natural law, to see if I can deduce the wonders of cosmic principles."
As the words faded, Eldrin began to comprehend the Law Stele.
Logically speaking, the Heavenly Steles of Law only allowed 1 to comprehend the power of laws. For those at the peak of the Ninth Celestial Ascension Realm, who needed to grasp the power of principles, these steles should have been utterly useless.
However, comprehending the laws of nature was not an achievement that could be attained by mere armchair theorizing.
Enlightened Immortals seeking to comprehend the laws of heaven have but 2 paths: to rely on their innate comprehension, or to seek legendary celestial treasures such as the Grade-8 Enlightenment Tea.
Beyond that, this Law Heaven Monument also served a purpose.
Immortals can utilize the Law Stele to continuously comprehend the myriad powers of natural laws. By assimilating strengths and discarding weaknesses, they may innovate upon existing foundations, with a certain probability of grasping even the most fragmentary strands of primordial rules.
Precisely for this reason, whenever the Heavenly Stele of Laws opened, numerous cultivators at the Ninth Celestial Ascension Realm would gather to participate in the Sword Contest.
