Chapter 1357 : Journey to the Myriad Calamities

"Very well."

The assembled Immortals nodded, smiles gracing their faces.

With the Celestial Prison Race gone, the current strength of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance should leave them with few rivals within the Flowing Stream Hundred Seas.

Once the council concluded, the Immortals departed one by one.

Eldrin Chen then led Lyra Jiang, Verdant Consort, Lila, and Yvonne the Violet Consort into his Cultivation Cave.

Gazing at them, Eldrin Chen spoke directly: "Now that the most perilous trial has passed, I intend to journey to the Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea to see if I can perfect my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable and born from primordial chaos]."

Upon hearing this, the women were momentarily taken aback.

Verdant Consort voiced her concern: "Traveling far during this Great Tribulation [a cosmic era of immense upheaval and danger] is fraught with unpredictable peril. Perhaps we should accompany you."

Eldrin Chen pondered briefly before replying, "The dangers of this journey are unknown. Lyra and I shall go alone."

"You should remain in the Abyssal Sea Region to oversee the Zhou Heavenly Stars Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array aligned with celestial constellations]." This chapter is part of a larger work available at www . audio-novel.com.

Upon hearing this, Verdant Consort [a powerful demon progenitor] could not help but let out a soft sigh.

She understood the logic in Eldrin Chen's words. Whether it was Patriarch of the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect or Sky Abyss Daoist, no matter how close they were, these individuals were ultimately outsiders.

Within the vast expanse of the Abyssal Sea Region, there must always be one of myself own to hold the reins and steer the course.

With this thought, she retrieved a map and handed it to Eldrin Chen, then spoke.

"This is a map of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea. It contains information on several Wind Attribute and Ice Attribute forbidden lands [places of extreme elemental concentration and danger]. They may aid your cultivation."

Eldrin Chen nodded with a gentle smile. "You are most thoughtful, my lady."

After storing the map, Eldrin Chen delayed no further. That very day, he departed from the Abyssal Sea Region.

This time, he traveled alongside Lyra Jiang. Along their journey, they activated the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a supreme treasure capable of manipulating space] to pierce through the Void [the fabric of space itself], each traversal spanning a vast stretch of ocean.

Given the Yin-Yang Void Realm's current grade, it could not be activated consecutively. Each time Eldrin Chen wielded this treasure, it required a full day of careful nurturing to recover.

During these periods, Eldrin Chen would tend to the Void Mirror [the core component of the Yin-Yang Void Realm] and restore his Mana [spiritual energy reserves], while Lyra Jiang piloted the Celestial Ark [a flying vessel], carrying them steadily towards the Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea.

Working in tandem like this, the two traversed the vast and boundless heavens and earth in an astonishingly short span of time.

"One more sea region ahead, and we will reach the Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea."

On this day, Eldrin Chen urged the Yin-Yang Void Realm across the Boundless Void, arriving within a vast and misty sea region.

He consulted his map, and a faint smile touched his lips.

The distance between the Abyssal Sea Region and the Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea was immeasurably vast. An ordinary Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] would require at least a century of flight, and even a powerhouse of Eldrin Chen's caliber would need a full decade.

Yet, with the aid of the Yin-Yang Void Realm, he had drawn near the Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea after merely a single year of travel.

Seeing this, Lyra Jiang also let out a slight sigh of relief. Gazing at the sea before them, she said, "The Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea is a notorious forbidden land, fraught with immense peril within."

"Let us rest here, recover our Mana [spiritual energy used for cultivation and magic], and then proceed."

Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement, then looked at the sea ahead with a smile. "This place is called the Sky Glaze Sea. Within it lies the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect, with whom I have had dealings in the past."

"Let us rest at the Celestial Glaze Market, and perhaps we might even chance upon an old acquaintance."

With those words, Eldrin Chen proceeded deeper into the Sky Glaze Sea, soon arriving at the location of the Celestial Glaze Market.

Yet, the moment he reached the Celestial Glaze Market, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly.

Before his eyes, the Celestial Glaze Market lay in utter ruin, its cultivators and mortals all perished, the Immortal [a being who has transcended mortality and achieved immortality] having been destroyed amidst the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic cosmic calamity].

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen sighed softly before speaking, "The Celestial Glaze Market has already met its calamity. I wonder if the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect still stands."

"Regardless, we should go and see for ourselves."

The Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea lay just ahead, but Eldrin Chen was in no hurry to enter. Instead, he flew directly towards the Five Thunder Immortal Island, intending to gather information before making any plans. This content originates from site: audio-novel.com. Please respect copyright.

He had not flown far when he discovered, at the heart of the Sky Glaze Sea, countless Treasure Ship [enchanted vessels used for travel and warfare by cultivators] besieging the Celestial Glaze Grand Formation [a powerful defensive array].

Outside the grand formation stood five figures of majestic aura, all of them powerhouses at the Half-Step Earth Immortal [a realm just below that of a true Earth Immortal, possessing immense power] level.

"It's the Deity Race,"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a flicker of surprise in his gaze. The forces attacking the Five Thunder Immortal Island were indeed from the Deity Race, and the five leaders among them were deities of Half-Step Earth Immortal caliber.

Beyond these, there were also over a hundred deities and countless Divine Descendants.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen exchanged a glance with Lyra Jiang and then spoke, "The Sky Glaze Immortal Sect once sold me a batch of Five Elements Thunder Source [a potent spiritual material refined from the essence of the five elements and heavenly thunder], so we have some ties of goodwill."

"For the sake of our shared Human Race heritage, let us lend them our aid."

"Agreed!"

Lyra Jiang gave a slight nod and instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light, shooting forth. In that very moment, the two acted with flawless synergy, their strikes aimed at two of the Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have partially transcended the mortal realm but have not fully ascended to the Earth Immortal stage].

The combat prowess of the pair now brushed against the domain of the Seventh Level Earth Immortal [the seventh major stage of the Earth Immortal cultivation realm]. Launching a surprise attack from such a level could fell even an Earth Immortal Progenitor [a venerable founder who has fully ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] with a single blow, let alone a few mere Half-Step Earth Immortal.

In the span of a single clash, Eldrin Chen cleaved one Half-Step Earth Immortal in two, while Lyra Jiang dispatched another in the flash of lightning and spark of flint.

"Disaster!"

Having lost two of their number in an instant, the remaining few wore expressions of sheer terror, scattering in a frantic flight towards the distance. Alas, it was already too late.

For in that same instant, Eldrin Chen summoned forth the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a divine technique that manifests a giant hand of primordial chaos energy to seize and crush], suppressing one Half-Step Earth Immortal on the spot. Simultaneously, he channeled the Profound Yang Heaven-Entombing Saber [a divine saber imbued with the profound power of the primal sun, capable of sealing the heavens], its blade flashing out to bisect another foe.

The final foe also proved no match for Lyra Jiang. With a single strike from her Profound Yin Heaven-Slaying Sword, she cleaved him asunder within the Void [a state of absolute emptiness or non-existence].

From beginning to end, these five Half-Step Earth Immortal [cultivators who have partially transcended the mortal realm but not fully ascended to Earth Immortality] powerhouses did not withstand a single move from the duo.

"Hah..."

Having slain the five Half-Step Earth Immortal powerhouses, Eldrin Chen let out a slight sigh of relief. He then collected their Spiritual Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts] and Dao Source [the condensed essence of one's cultivation path] before turning his gaze to the battlefield.

At that very moment, the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect seized the opportunity. A powerhouse at the Half-Step Earth Immortal level swiftly made their move, leading several dozen Immortal [beings who have ascended beyond mortality] into the fray, clashing fiercely with the Divine Race [a race of powerful celestial beings] army.

"Since we've started as benefactors, let's see it through to the end."

Eldrin Chen murmured. He immediately intervened, a master bullying the novices. In short order, he had slaughtered the hundred or so divine beings within.

With this batch of deities eradicated, the Half-Step Earth Immortal from the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect finally approached. They bowed deeply to the pair, their gratitude overflowing.

"We offer our deepest thanks, Seniors, for saving our lives."

"We are all of the Human Race. There is no need for such formality."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, then turned his gaze towards the assembled immortals of the Sky Glaze Immortal Sect. A faint smile touched his lips as he spoke, "Fellow Daoist Lyra [a respectful term for a female cultivator of similar attainment], it has been a long time. I trust you have been well."

Among the crowd, Aurelia Jiang was momentarily taken aback. As her eyes fell upon Eldrin Chen, her expression first flickered with confusion, then swiftly transformed into one of profound astonishment.

Witnessing this, the Celestial Glaze Ancient Ancestor could not help but inquire, "Senior, you actually know our Grand Elder?"

"We have met but twice,"

Eldrin Chen replied with calm detachment. Yet, he saw Aurelia Jiang hurriedly perform a respectful bow. "I never imagined that in the mere span of twenty thousand years, Senior's foundation would have grown to such heights," she said, her voice tinged with awe. "This humble one nearly believed she had mistaken your identity." This chapter is provided by audio-novel dot com. Support the original.
