Chapter 1368 : Tempered by the Primordial Gale

"Mm."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and immediately took a step, heading towards the summit of Gale Wind Valley.

Yet, the moment he reached the peak, Eldrin Chen was nearly thrown off balance by a colossal Liufeng [a divine wind of immense power].

As he steadied himself, he felt the onslaught of countless, overwhelmingly powerful gusts of Liufeng. This wind was the Western Pole Wind [a primordial wind from the western extremity of the world], and within it swirled strands of the Gengjin Radiance [a sharp, metallic light capable of cutting through all things].

Here, each wisp of Liufeng was like a minuscule Immortal Sword slashing forth. As it scoured Eldrin Chen's flesh, it instantly carved bloody furrow after bloody furrow into his skin.

"Such formidable power within this wind,"

Eldrin Chen thought with astonishment. He promptly shielded his Nascent Soul Immortal Embryo [the nascent spiritual form of an immortal cultivator] with the Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule [a supreme cultivation art governing primordial chaos], then settled into a cross-legged posture upon the mountain peak, allowing the endless force of the Liufeng to wash over his physical form.

The Liufeng atop this peak never ceased, perpetually buffeting Eldrin Chen's body. It not only tore at his flesh, sending blood and tissue flying, but its essence penetrated deep into his very being, reaching even into his Five Viscera and Six Bowels [the core internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine, representing the foundation of one's vitality].

Each gust of Liufeng felt like billions of microscopic Immortal Sword passing through him, relentlessly eroding his Primordial Source [the foundational life force and spiritual essence of a cultivator] and honing the Five Viscera and Six Bowels within.

Faced with the continuous ravages of the Liufeng, Eldrin Chen's Five Viscera and Six Bowels instinctively rallied in defense. The Five Divine Spirits [spiritual entities residing within and guarding the five core organs] housed within his Five Viscera [the five core organs: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys] burst forth with the World-Illuminating Immortal Light, ceaselessly nourishing and fortifying the power of his physical form.

And within this process, the Five Source Powers within the Five Viscera began to gradually intermingle and fuse. Time held no meaning within the mountains, yet a full Millennium [a cycle of one thousand years] had passed in the mortal world.

Eldrin Chen sat in meditation at the peak of Gale Wind Valley, facing alone the ceaseless, year-round blasts of the Liufeng [the Gale Winds, a powerful and destructive wind]. Day and night, he endured wind, rain, and sun, suffering the agony of the endless Liufeng piercing through his body, all to forcibly merge the Five Source Powers.

Within such torment and suffering, time stretched on interminably, yet three full Millennium [cycles of one thousand years] rushed past. Finally, after those three Millennium, on a night of raging storm and wind, a searing light of thunder illuminated the darkened sky. A figure of immense grandeur and dazzling brilliance was revealed, seated in profound meditation.

Around that figure, five radiant divine halos bloomed, colored crimson, gold, azure, black, and yellow. These five-colored halos slowly rotated, ultimately beginning to merge and become one, transforming into a hazy Chaos Radiance.

"Hmm…"

In that instant, heaven and earth fell silent, and all things became still.

Even the perpetually howling Liufeng and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder [the Celestial Thunder from the Nine Heavens] grew quiet. Everything seemed to freeze in that single moment. The figure that had sat in meditation at the peak of Gale Wind Valley for three Millennium finally, slowly, rose to his feet.

There upon the mountain peak stood Eldrin Chen, his White Robe pristine as snow, his countenance serene. The infinite Liufeng swept over him, yet failed to leave even the faintest mark upon his person.

Coiling around him were streams of Chaos Currents [currents of primordial, undifferentiated energy], forming a Chaos Barrier that was Myriad Tribulations Uneroded [impervious to the erosion of countless calamities], isolating him from the assault of all external forces.

"Has it succeeded?"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, lifting a finger as his sleeve swept through the air.

Between his two fingers, a wisp of Chaos Miasma [a primordial, formless energy of disorder] coalesced, ultimately transforming into a dazzlingly brilliant Qi Blade [a blade of condensed spiritual energy] that slashed forth. In that instant, heaven and earth were cleaved asunder, and the vast sea was parted.

A sword scar extended to the horizon where sky met sea. In its wake, a boundless expanse of the vast, misty ocean was split, as if cleaved by a Peerless Heavenly Sword [a divine sword of unmatched power, transcending all ages].

"Incredible power,"

Meanwhile, Lyra Jiang at the mountain's base could not help but draw a sharp breath upon witnessing this scene.

At this moment, Eldrin Chen stood atop the mountain peak, his White Robe pristine as snow, three thousand strands of dark hair cascading loosely about his shoulders.

He simply stood there, enveloped by wisps of Primordial Chaos [the primeval, undifferentiated state before creation] Qi [the vital energy that flows through all living things], his Supreme [a state of ultimate, transcendent power] Hugo obscured from view, like a peerless Immortal King descended upon the mortal realm.

With but a casual point of his finger, he had sundered the Boundless Sea Region, as if a sword immortal from the Nine Heavens [the highest celestial realms] had delivered a single, world-cleaving strike. "My Lady,"

Eldrin Chen withdrew the Chaos Qi [the energy of primordial chaos], and simply strolled through the air towards her. Gazing at Lyra Jiang before him, a faint smile touched his lips as he spoke.

Lyra Jiang studied Eldrin Chen intently, then drew a deep breath and sighed. "I had only just managed to step half a pace closer to your level. To think that in merely a few Millennium [a period of one thousand years], you have already surpassed me once more."

"Your natural talent is peerless, Madam, not inferior to mine in the slightest," Eldrin Chen spoke softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

This time, with the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body perfected, the Five Vein Sources within his body fused into one, transforming into the Chaos Origin Power.

Although this was merely a wisp of the most minute Chaos Origin Power, its potency was already astonishing beyond measure.

Eldrin Chen was not yet fully certain of the exact magnitude of power contained within this strand of Primordial Chaos Primordial Source [the foundational, primordial essence of Chaos], but he had an inkling that his combat prowess had now surpassed that of Lyra Jiang.

He could roughly sense that with this Primordial Chaos Primordial Source guarding his body, once activated, a shroud of Chaos Miasma [a dense, primordial mist born of Chaos] would envelop him completely.

The defensive power of that Chaos Miasma was immensely formidable. An ordinary Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm] unleashing a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact of legendary power] against him would likely fail to even pierce that layer of mist, let alone injure Eldrin Chen's physical form.

Not only that, this Primordial Chaos Primordial Source simultaneously embodied the sharpness and solidity of the Metal Vein, the tenacity and profound depth of the Earth Vein, the enduring vitality of the Wood Vein, the vast gentleness of the Water Vein, and the domineering, scorching heat of the Fire Vein.

More importantly, while encompassing these five powers, the Primordial Chaos Primordial Source far transcended them, achieving an unprecedented qualitative transformation.

As long as this strand of Primordial Chaos Primordial Source remained, Eldrin Chen's physical body would be indestructible and immortal. A mere casual emission of Chaos Miasma from him could pierce through an entire Great Thousand World [a vast cosmic realm comprising countless worlds].

For instance, just moments ago, Eldrin Chen's casual finger-point, merely channeling a trace of Chaos Miasma, had already cleaved through hundreds of millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] of the Boundless Sea Region. Its destructive force was comparable to a full-powered sword strike from a Peerless Sword Immortal [a Sword Immortal of unmatched skill].

Such power was already sufficient to World Creation [the act of creating a new world or realm], and could even cleave a Great Thousand World [a vast, complete world within the cosmos] in two.

What Eldrin Chen did not know was that this level of Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] Primordial Source [the foundational, origin-level energy of existence] was a supreme form of energy. Many Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a peak-level Heavenly Immortal cultivator] might spend their entire lives without ever touching this level.

The Primordial Chaos Primordial Source he had cultivated was, in essence, no different from the Chaos Qi [the raw, unformed energy of the Primordial Chaos] within the Primordial Chaos. The only distinction was that his was far too thin and diluted.

The Primordial Chaos Primordial Source forged by his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable by the forces of chaos] was, compared to any single strand of Chaos Qi within the Primordial Chaos, but a minuscule and insignificant force.

Yet, as his cultivation base continued to ascend, the day would come when Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Primordial Source would grow incomparably mighty. If he reached the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of a Heavenly Immortal], perhaps even the Chaos Currents [the violent, flowing rivers of chaos energy] within the Primordial Chaos would struggle to harm him.

For ordinary Heavenly Immortal Paragon, each venture into the Primordial Chaos was a gamble with nine deaths for one chance at life. But by then, Eldrin Chen might be able to roam freely within this expanse of Primordial Chaos surrounding the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the three thousand major immortal realms].

Within this Primordial Chaos where the Three Thousand Immortal Domains resided, the Chaos Currents were suppressed by an intangible field, making them far less perilous than the depths of the Primordial Chaos—yet they remained exceedingly dangerous.

Ordinary Heavenly Immortal Paragon dared not lightly step into the Primordial Chaos without a Taiyi Ancient Ship [an ancient, powerful vessel capable of navigating chaos]. For without the protection of a Ninth Rank Ancient Ship [a top-tier ancient vessel], even a Heaven Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the Heavenly Immortal realm] would find survival difficult upon entering the Primordial Chaos.

Yet, hand in hand with the peril came immense reward.

Within that unopened Boundless Chaos [the infinite, uncharted depths of the Primordial Chaos] of the Primordial Chaos, materials of staggering value lay scattered everywhere.

Some Divine Metal [a rare and precious metal of exceptional quality], a material scarcely seen even within the Immortal Domain [the realm of the Immortals], can be found and mined with casual ease within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation]. A simple piece of stone casually picked up there might well be an Heaven-Opening Marvel [a treasure of world-shattering rarity and power] or even a Taiyi Rare Treasure [a supreme treasure embodying the primordial unity of creation].
