Chapter 1291 : A Decisive Gambit Against Darkness

Eldrin Chen resolved to use himself as bait, aiming to deal a crippling blow to the Demonic Tribe forces in a single decisive move.

He looked at the assembled immortals, his expression grave, and spoke: "Our numbers should be sufficient. We can first reach out to these trustworthy individuals."

"Remember, they must be absolutely trustworthy."

"We would rather invite fewer allies than risk inviting those who are not reliable. If the plan were to leak, it could lead to a catastrophe."

Hearing this, Solara spoke up: "Rest assured. As you said, the people I have chosen share our fate completely—their glory is our glory, their ruin our ruin. They would never betray us."

Upon hearing these words, all the immortals present wore expressions of utmost solemnity.

They understood clearly in their hearts: if this battle succeeded, they could likely slay at least one or two Earth Immortal [a powerful cultivator who has attained immortality tied to the earthly realm] and multiple combatants of Half-Step Earth Immortal [a cultivator on the very cusp of attaining Earth Immortal status] caliber from the Demonic Tribe.

Such a victory, if achieved, might even shift the balance of the war in the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas by a small but significant degree.

It must be understood that within the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, the number of Earth Immortal Progenitor [an ancient and supremely powerful Earth Immortal, often a founder of a lineage] who had entered this great tribulation was less than a thousand.

Distributed across the thirty-three layers of sea territories, each region held barely more than thirty such beings. Support the author by reading on http://www . audio-novel.com.

The Flowing Stream Hundred Seas is considered one of the core regions of the Great Tribulation. The number of Earth Immortal Progenitor [powerful cultivators who have attained the Earth Immortal realm and founded their own lineage] who can enter the tribulation here, from both sides combined, likely numbers only just over a hundred individuals.

Among them, the Flowing Fire Star Palace accounts for seventeen, the Heaven's Malignance Tribe accounts for over forty, and the remaining Earth Immortal [cultivators who have ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] from various other factions total no more than fifty or sixty. Of these, the Demonic Tribe [a major faction of demonic cultivators] comprises fewer than thirty, with the rest belonging to the human and divine races.

Under such circumstances, if one or two Demonic Tribe Earth Immortal and several Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, on the cusp of becoming Earth Immortals] could be slain, it might truly shift the balance of the battlefield, however slightly.

After all, the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect, hailed as the third greatest power in the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas, at its zenith had only four Half-Step Earth Immortal. The Thousand Dragons Lake, with a Late Stage Earth Immortal [an Earth Immortal who has reached the later stages of that realm] presiding, possesses merely five Earth Immortal True Dragon [True Dragons who have cultivated to the Earth Immortal realm].

"This battle permits only success; failure is utterly unthinkable."

This silent vow echoed in the hearts of all present, each fully comprehending the critical importance of the coming conflict.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke with a gentle smile, "There is still time. We should first continue to digest and solidify our Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and stable cultivation base accumulated over long periods of meditation and refinement]. Once Fellow Daoist Lucian breaks through to the Earth Immortal Realm and consolidates his cultivation, it will not be too late for us to act."

"Let us set the time for one Millennium [a period of one thousand years] from now."

Solara nodded upon hearing this and then declared, "There is no day like the present. This humble one shall undertake her World Creation [the act of an Earth Immortal creating their own inner world or minor realm] today. All of you may observe my act of world-forging. It may offer some benefit to your own future cultivation paths."

The World Creation by an Earth Immortal is a spectacle rarely seen even once in a million years across an entire sea region. Naturally, none of the assembled immortals wished to miss this opportunity. They all prepared to witness her monumental act of genesis.

Behold, Solara gathered supreme true power, her Solar Divine Body and Solar Rule—two Heaven-Opening Foundation—resonating and shining with a world-shaking force never before witnessed.

In that fleeting Ksana-time, the Qing Cang Heavenly Dao stirred, and a profound, intangible consciousness of the Heavenly Dao [the supreme natural order and principle governing the cosmos] turned its gaze upon her.

The Heavenly Dao Will, sensing the World-Opening Dao Fruit [a supreme divine fruit embodying the power to create a world] within Solara, immediately tore open a rift in the Dimensional Void and transported her into a realm of Chaotic Void [the primordial, formless chaos before creation].

"This is..."

The assembled Immortals [beings who have transcended mortality through cultivation] watched this scene unfold, their faces etched with astonishment.

Eldrin Chen, who understood the matter, spoke up at once. "The act of World Creation [the supreme process of forging a new universe] does not occur within the Azure Firmament Immortal Domain."

"Its location lies within dimensional space, a separate dimension from our own." As Eldrin Chen explained, the Immortals grasped the general whereabouts of this World Creation.

The Boundless Chaos is, in truth, composed of countless dimensions. Within it, innumerable Starry Sky Great Universe [vast cosmic structures containing galaxies and stars] are born, each dimension harboring billions of great worlds.

The Boundless Starry Sky, the measureless cosmos, the Great Thousand World [a term for the totality of all worlds], the Vast and Boundless Space-Time—all reside within those endless dimensions.

And the Immortal Domain exists within the Primordial Chaos [the original, undifferentiated state of existence], situated at the highest latitude among the Myriad Heavens and Worlds [all celestial realms and mortal planes], serving as the origin point for all dimensions.

The Purple Realm where Eldrin Chen once cultivated, and even the boundless Starry Sky Great Universe, all exist within this endless dimensionality. Strictly speaking, they are considered lower Dimensional Void [a conceptual space of reduced dimensions].

From the perspective of a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal who has attained the pinnacle of cultivation], the Starry Sky Great Universe and the billions upon billions of Heavenly Circuit Stars [celestial bodies that form the circuits of cosmic energy] are, in essence, composed of countless trillions of Starry Sky Great Universe coalescing within the dimensional fabric.

Such as the Solar Star [a star of pure Yang essence] and the Lunar Star [a star of pure Yin essence] within a universe, which are fragments of the Nine Heavens Star Fragment [a shard of celestial matter from the highest heavens].

Their source entities reside within the Primal Immortal Domain [the primordial realm where immortals originate]. Their true forms exist at the source point of the endless dimensions, while what is reflected and manifested within the infinite dimensional spaces are their lower-dimensional projections.

In other words, the beings within the lower-dimensional universes are incapable of comprehending the Supreme Yang [the ultimate principle of active, creative cosmic force] that exists at the dimensional source point.

It is akin to ants crawling upon a sheet of paper, believing the world has no concept of height or depth; or mortals walking upon a star, convinced the ground beneath them is flat. Immerse yourself in the complete world at audio - novel . com.

Little do they know, from the vantage of a higher dimension, reality is far more vast and intricate.

Throughout their entire existence, what they witness is but A Drop in the Vast Ocean [an infinitesimally small part of an immense whole] of that star, and what they touch is merely a single corner of its surface.

Within the endless dimensions, the Supreme Yang perceived by all living beings is nothing more than a faint, minuscule glimmer of light emanating from that Solar Star at the dimensional source.

The worlds opened by Earth Immortal Progenitor [an immortal who has attained the Earth Immortal realm and founded a lineage] are the same. They cannot withstand the Chaotic Torrent [the violent, primordial currents of unformed chaos] from the high-dimensional source point, and thus are unable to establish their realms within the Boundless Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation].

Therefore, the worlds they open are within the dimensional space of the Boundless Chaos [the infinite, formless expanse beyond all realms], not opened at the dimensional origin point where the Primordial Chaos [the primeval, undifferentiated state before creation] resides.

Strictly speaking, once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul Realm [the realm where one's spiritual essence condenses into an independent soul entity], they already possess the capability to temporarily retreat into the Spatial Seam [the fragile boundaries between different layers of space].

In the lower realms, a Nascent Soul Dao Lord [a master who has reached the Nascent Soul stage and comprehended a profound Dao] can tear open the Void [the technique of manipulating spatial emptiness], walk within the Void Seam [the narrow pathways between torn spaces], and instantly arrive beyond the Endless Void [the infinite, starless expanse surrounding all worlds].

An Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and attained eternal life] can even recline upon the very fabric of spatial dimensions, existing as a being completely transcending Three-Dimensional Space [the conventional spatial framework of length, width, and depth].

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Great Thousand World [a collective term for the myriad major worlds in the cosmos] lack sufficient foundational grade and cannot withstand the power of an Immortal, forcing all Immortal to ascend to the Immortal Domain [the higher realm where Immortals reside].

After an Immortal ascends to the Chaos Immortal Realm [the realm of Immortals born from Chaos], they are suppressed by the spatial laws of the Immortal Domain and can no longer easily tear the Void; only a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme Immortal who has reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Immortal stage] can freely roam the boundless dimensions.

And the great world opened by an Earth Immortal [an Immortal whose power and domain are anchored to a terrestrial foundation] is precisely such a three-dimensional great world, artificially carved out within the infinite dimensional space.

Within the dimensions of the Boundless Chaos, the Sea of Worlds [the metaphorical ocean containing countless worlds] numbers in the billions, most naturally born from the tides of space and time, yet many are also opened by such powerful beings.

"The Boundless Chaos, where worlds within the Sea rise and fall."

"In the future, when an Earth Immortal World [a world created and governed by an Earth Immortal] transforms into a Celestial Immortal Cosmos [a cosmos governed by a Celestial Immortal], or even into a Chaos Immortal Realm, it may be nothing more than a process of dimensional ascension."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, withdrawing his thoughts inward.

He gazed towards the Dimensional Void [a space between dimensions, often chaotic and unstable] where Solara had departed, then spoke: "When an Earth Immortal [an immortal who has attained mastery over the earthly realm and can create their own world] opens a world, it involves the profound mysteries of the Chaos Space [the primordial, formless space from which all creation emerges]."

"This is a rare opportunity for all of us."

As his words fell, Eldrin Chen took a single step forward, crossing into that expanse of Dimensional Void.

The other immortals followed closely behind, but the moment they stepped within, expressions of astonishment dawned upon their faces.

This was a place within a Void Seam [a fissure or boundary within the dimensional void], its surroundings a hazy blur. There was no space or time, only endless Primordial Chaos Aura [the raw, unformed energy of creation] saturating everything.

It was oppressive, stifling, dark—everything was in its Primordial Chaos [the original, undifferentiated state of existence before the cosmos was formed] primal state. Not even space itself existed here.

It existed within infinite dimensions, with no distinction of high or low, no breadth, not even the concept of length remained.

It was a Zero-Dimensional Space [a theoretical point of existence with no spatial dimensions], or perhaps, this was a Void Origin Point [the singular point of nothingness from which all things potentially arise] named 'Nothingness'.

Here, there was no space, no time, nothing existed at all. Only that Primordial Chaos Aura permeated and threaded through the endless dimensions.

Time and space held no meaning for it.

Until this very day, when a dazzling golden radiance arrived at this Void Origin Point. P.S.: How long has it been since I last repaid a debt? Today, four chapters to settle the score! Your portal to cultivation novels: audio-novel.com.
