Chapter 1364 : The Radiance and the Thunderfruit

As the words fell, Eldrin Chen immediately activated the Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine light capable of absorbing and manipulating the five fundamental elements].

That Five-Colored Divine Radiance was formless and intangible, coalescing and dispersing at will. As long as something belonged to the Heaven and Earth Five Elements [the five fundamental elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth that constitute all matter], it could be completely drawn in and captured.

Most crucially, the Five-Colored Divine Radiance feared not the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the divine punishment of heavenly lightning], and could pierce through the boundless Sea of Lightning [a vast domain or state composed of pure lightning energy].

*Whoosh*

With a soft, whispering sound, the Five-Colored Divine Radiance shone upon the Nine Tribulations Thunder Fruit [a legendary fruit that has endured nine cycles of heavenly tribulation, imbuing it with immense power].

This Nine Tribulations Thunder Fruit was merely at the eighth rank [a high but not ultimate level of power], and possessed the dual attributes of thunder and wood. Naturally, it could not escape the drawing power of the Five-Colored Divine Radiance, and was instantly pulled into Eldrin Chen's hand.

"Success."

Having secured the Nine Tribulations Thunder Fruit, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze towards the Central Thunder Pool [the heart of the thunderous domain, where power is most concentrated].

Within that Central Thunder Pool, the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword [a peerless immortal sword forged in the heart of thunder and tribulation] was enveloped by infinite lightning. The faintly revealed edge of its blade held an aura potent enough to slay even the Nine Heavens Immortal Deities [the supreme deities residing in the highest celestial realms].

As a Taiyi Immortal Weapon [a weapon of the highest immortal grade, embodying the primordial unity], and the sole True Treasure [a treasure of ultimate authenticity and power] nurtured over hundreds of millions of years within the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Abyss [an abyss of countless heavenly tribulations], the power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation concentrated within this Central Thunder Pool far surpassed that surrounding the Nine Tribulations Thunder Fruit.

Such power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [a cataclysmic tribulation of heavenly thunder and lightning], even an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] at the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm] would risk being reduced to ashes by the calamity's fury should they recklessly step within to seize the treasure. Eldrin Chen dared not make direct contact with the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation force. He immediately channeled the Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine light embodying the five elements] to shine upon it, attempting to retrieve this Supreme Unity Immortal Sword [a sword forged for and wielded by Immortals].

Yet, beneath the illumination of the Five-Colored Divine Radiance, the Supreme Unity Immortal Sword remained utterly immovable, not shifting a hair's breadth.

The Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword [the Sword of Supreme Unity, Thunder Abyss, and Myriad Tribulations] was originally a piece of unyielding iron. Over countless eons, it endured the endless tempering of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, etched with the boundless power of thunder Dao Principles [the fundamental laws and truths of the Dao]. Its original material had long since been refined away.

Thus, this Immortal Sword had become a vessel for the Thunder Great Dao [the supreme, overarching Dao or Way] within the Mortal Dust [the mundane, mortal world]. Its substance had been tempered into something neither metal, nor stone, nor jade.

If one were to name the material of this sword, it would be more fitting to call it 'Dao Principle Jade' [Jade of Dao Principles] or 'Great Dao Stone' [Stone of the Great Dao].

This jade is not ordinary jade, this stone is not ordinary stone; it is the vessel of the Thunder Great Dao within the Mortal Dust, existing outside the cycle of the Five Elements. "Even the Five-Colored Divine Radiance cannot claim this object?"

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly, and a contemplative expression settled upon his features.

After a moment of silent thought, he produced a piece of dazzlingly brilliant Primordial Chaos Ancient Copper [an ancient, primordial metal born from chaos].

This Primordial Chaos Ancient Copper was a treasure of immense value, a rare wonder gifted to Eldrin Chen by the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect. In terms of sheer durability, it ranked among the finest even within the category of Heaven-Opening Marvel [marvelous treasures said to possess the power to cleave open the heavens].

Originally, Eldrin Chen had intended to use this material to refine the Earth-Fortress Sovereign Bell [the Sovereign Bell of the Earth Fortress]. However, if he could obtain the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword, the loss of even ten World-Opening Immortal Treasure [Immortal Treasures capable of opening worlds] would be a worthy price.

No sooner had the thought formed than Eldrin Chen acted. He hurled the Primordial Chaos Ancient Copper directly above the Thunder Pool.

The sudden intrusion of the ancient World Creation copper disrupted the rhythm of the boundless sea of lightning within the Thunder Pool. Over thirty percent of the thunderbolts were drawn toward the Primordial Chaos Ancient Copper, while the remaining lightning descended into a state of chaotic frenzy.

"A perfect opportunity."

Seizing the moment, Eldrin Chen made his move.

Daring not to charge in himself, he instead summoned the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a divine ability to manifest a giant hand of primordial energy] to seize the Supreme Unity Immortal Sword.

Yet, even the formidable power of the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand was woefully insufficient against this infinite tempest of lightning.

In the span of a single breath, the grasping hand was shattered into motes of light. Nevertheless, it had managed to block thirty percent of the thunderous onslaught.

"Now!"

In that fleeting instant, Eldrin Chen shot forward like an arrow, plunging into the heart of the Thunder Pool.

He enveloped himself in the Primordial Chaos True Aura [a protective aura of primordial energy] to withstand the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [a heavenly trial of thunder]. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the Void Mirror [a magical treasure that manipulates space] and in one swift motion, drew the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword [a divine sword forged in the heart of a thunder abyss, capable of enduring myriad tribulations] into its depths.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword vanished abruptly, and the Primordial Chaos Ancient Copper was also pulverized into dust. The boundless power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [a cataclysmic divine punishment of thunder and lightning], having lost its target, immediately erupted into chaos.

Within the entire Ninefold Thunder Abyss, the endless power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation suddenly ran wild, blasting out in all directions.

In an exceedingly brief span of time, Eldrin Chen was struck by over a dozen attacks from the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. He was sent flying, his Primordial Chaos True Aura [a supreme defensive aura born from primordial chaos] shattered.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen seized the moment. Using the immense force of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, he was propelled toward the eighth layer of the Thunder Abyss, reaching the eighth stratum in mere moments.

Yet, the Thunder Abyss was now in utter pandemonium. An endless torrent of thunderforce surged up from the depths of the Ninefold Thunder Abyss, erupting violently through the layers of the Thunder Abyss. Blinding, searing light drowned everything.

Eldrin Chen pushed his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable, forged from the essence of chaos] to its limits to withstand the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. He flew upward with desperate speed, managing to reach the sixth stratum of the Thunder Abyss just before the full fury of the rampaging tribulation could overtake him.

"Husband, what happened to you?"

At this point, Lyra Jiang was still unaware of the cause. Seeing Eldrin Chen emerge grievously wounded, she feared he had been ambushed by a powerful foe and spoke with grave concern.

"We must leave. Now."

Eldrin Chen had no time for words. He swiftly grasped Lyra Jiang and activated the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a mystical treasure capable of traversing the void between realms]. In an instant, they traversed the Endless Void [the boundless, chaotic space between worlds] and arrived just beyond the Boundless Sea Region.

Meanwhile, within the Ninefold Thunder Abyss, endless bolts of lightning raged uncontrollably, reducing everything in their path to dust.

Many Divine Race [a race of powerful beings who cultivate divinity] cultivators who were in secluded cultivation within the first three layers of the Thunder Abyss were caught unaware and instantly turned to ashes by the thunderous force. Even the Eight Tribulations Thunder God was severely wounded, only escaping with his life thanks to a single Eighth Rank Ancient Void Talisman [a powerful, ancient talisman of the eighth rank, capable of creating a void for escape].

At the same time, within the Spirit Abyss Sea, a great battle had already drawn to a close.

The once-prosperous Spirit Abyss Sea was now a field of ruins, with the various celestial deities clearing the battlefield. The Silent Annihilation Thunder God, who had once shaken the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea with his might, gazed upon the scene, a deep frown etching his brow.

A goddess of the Late Stage Earth Immortal [the late stage of the Earth Immortal realm, a high level of cultivation] who stood nearby noticed his expression and asked with a smile, "In this battle, we have annihilated the Spirit Abyss Sea. Everyone has gained tremendously."

"My Husband has even obtained a High Grade Dao Source [a supreme treasure containing the pure essence of the Dao, the fundamental principle of existence]. Your breakthrough to the Primordial Foundation [a legendary, foundational cultivation realm of immense power] must be imminent. Why do you still seem troubled?" The Silent Annihilation Thunder God shook his head and spoke, "For some reason, I am plagued by a sense of foreboding."

Having said this, the Silent Annihilation Thunder God commanded, "Pass the order. Clean the battlefield immediately and prepare to return with me to the Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea at once." At that very moment, a message talisman streaked across the sky towards him.

The Silent Annihilation Thunder God took it and read its contents, his face instantly contorting with immense fury.

He could no longer afford to linger. Transforming into a streak of lightning, he shot forth, charging deep into the Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea. A long while later, from the depths of the Ninefold Thunder Abyss, a roar of unparalleled rage echoed forth.

"Ah, you shameless whelp!"

"Let This Sovereign know who you are! Even if you flee beyond the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, I shall ensure your soul is scattered to dust!"

In that instant, boundless thunderous rage drowned out all else.

The various deities observing from beyond the Ninefold Thunder Abyss within the Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea exchanged bewildered glances, utterly unable to fathom what had just transpired. As for the mood of the Silent Annihilation Thunder God, Eldrin Chen could well imagine.

At this moment, having emerged from the Myriad Calamities Thunder Sea with Lyra Jiang, he immediately activated the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void to slip away unseen. Inside the Treasure Mirror, Lyra Jiang, seeing Eldrin Chen's injuries, moved to administer healing elixirs.

Yet Eldrin Chen shook his head, a look of immense joy spreading across his face as he said, "My wounds are not severe. A short period of rest and recuperation will suffice for recovery."

Relieved, Lyra Jiang let out a sigh and turned her gaze towards the center of the Treasure Mirror, where the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword floated and sank in a constant, mesmerizing rhythm. "It seems your journey yielded truly remarkable gains," she remarked.
