Chapter 1289 : Breaking Through to Half-Step Earth Immortal

At the sight of Sun Ji's Primordial Chaos True Body and Solar Dao attaining perfect completion, the immortals all stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod as well, then spoke, "My congratulations, Fellow Daoist. Both your comprehension of the Dao and your Primordial Chaos Body have reached perfection. It seems your ascension to the Earth Immortal realm is imminent."

Riji, however, gave a faint smile, her gaze fixed upon Eldrin (Person Name) as she said, "I perceive your spiritual power is of unparalleled purity, carrying a subtle hint of world-sundering profundity. It seems you have already stepped into the half-step Earth Immortal realm."

"Such astonishing foundations have likely propelled you into the realm of 8-Calamity Immortals. Even if I were to break through to the Earth Immortal stage, I might still struggle to match you."

Hearing this, the immortals couldn't help but feel a stir in their hearts, their gazes turning uniformly toward Eldrin.

Seeing this, Eldrin gave a slight nod and said, "In recent years, I have been refining my spiritual power, and have finally taken that step."

At this point, even Eldrin revealed a faint smile.

It must be understood that cultivators at the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm exhibit varying levels of strength depending on the nature of their foundational World-Originating attainments.

Having cultivated the Primordial Chaos True Body at the Quasi-Earth Immortal realm, their physical strength would be greatly enhanced, possessing the power to split heaven and earth. Relying on this Primordial Chaos True Body, they were sufficient to challenge true Earth Immortal patriarchs.

Moreover, the meridians and dantian of the Primordial Chaos True Body would become increasingly expansive, capable of containing twice as much immortal essence as the Ninth Level of Immortal Ascension.

An immortal who has condensed their Dao Fruit can surpass the limits of their soul force, wielding it with unparalleled ease and precision.

By refining the power of their Dao Fruit and Primordial Spirit into their magical energy, they could refine their own mana to an even more exquisite degree. At that point, any divine ability wielded by them would become more agile and profoundly mystical.

Moreover, under the command of their soul essence, they could often simultaneously wield multiple divine artifacts and supernatural abilities in combat.

Immortals capable of wielding complete sets of array artifacts not only possess astonishing talent in the Dao of Formations, but are also often gifted with formidable aptitude on the Path of Dao Fruit.

For instance, Ao Ming, who wielded the Heavenly Dragon Subduing Demon Sword Array, was 1 who primarily cultivated Dao Fruits and Laws, and was also a top-tier Immortal-grade Array Master.

Eldrin's Primordial Immortal Body and Primordial Chaos Laws were both immensely powerful. Yet, he could not only fully master these 2 forces but also simultaneously wield multiple magical treasures and supernatural abilities against his foes.

Even during his confrontation with Patriarch Setting Sun, he still had energy to spare to activate multiple Heaven-Sundering-grade killing formations, all because his Primordial Chaos Wuji Dao Fruit had reached perfection.

The Primordial True Body was so magnificent, and the Primordial Dao Fruit so profound, that its principles were naturally no less extraordinary.

A Half-Step Earth Immortal who wielded the power of rules, though the immortal essence their physical body could contain remained unchanged and their self-mastery was less profound than the enlightenment of opening the heavens, yet the power of rules represented the ultimate laws of heaven and earth.

By infusing the ultimate power of laws into their magical energy, an immortal’s mana grows increasingly refined, eventually giving rise to a wisp of world-sundering force. Once harnessed, its unleashed might multiplies exponentially.

这一千年来，Eldrin (Person Name)闲暇之余不断潜修，将自身执掌的三种规则之力与混元无极法力交融，终于完成了质变。

At this stage, Eldrin had stepped into the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm. Every strand of his magical power now unleashed force several times greater than what he possessed at the peak of the Ninth Heaven Ascension stage.

You must understand that Eldrin, who wielded the Primordial Chaos Unbounded Law, had long possessed Primordial Chaos Unbounded Magic Power rivaling the very force that shaped heavens and earth—even before his breakthrough to the half-step Earth Immortal realm.

Now he had advanced even further, his immortal essence infused with the power of laws. Its purity had already surpassed the Primordial Chaos Force mastered by early-stage Earth Immortal patriarchs, reaching the realm of 8-Calamity Immortals.

"Alas, my Primordial Chaos rules remain incomplete. If I could master both the Soil of All Things and the Pure Yang Celestial Fire, then integrating 5 distinct rules into my magical power would undoubtedly trigger a qualitative transformation."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, a flicker of anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

He knew full well that taking that step would bring about a true qualitative transformation, elevating the purity of his spiritual power beyond its utmost limits.

Perhaps by that time, even the foundational-stage Earth Immortal Patriarchs would find their Heaven-Opening power far inferior to his in quality.

The very same divine ability, the very same Primordial Chaos Artifact, when wielded by him, would unleash power far surpassing that of an ordinary early-stage Earth Immortal.

Only such formidable power of creation could be deemed worthy of a 9-Tribulation Immortal, whose supreme magic alone sufficed to vanquish all realms.

8 Calamities combat prowess.

The immortals nearby couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in their hearts upon hearing of Eldrin's combat prowess.

How rare is the combat prowess of an 8 Calamity Immortal? Not to mention the Western Ruins Divine Abyss Sea, from what they knew, there were currently only 3 such existences across the entire 100 Seas of Flowing Rivers.

That was the Young Palace Master of the Flowing Fire Star Palace. He simultaneously cultivated the Immortal Body, Dao Fruit, and Laws. Among them, both his Immortal Body and Laws had already reached the Heaven-Opening Realm, leaving only his Dao Fruit incomplete.

Among the remaining 2, 1 was a revered ancestor from the Ancient Azure Stream Sect who had lived for 8,000,000 years, while the other was an unaffiliated immortal who had ascended over 2 100 1000 years ago.

It can be said that such beings are not only peerless prodigies with foundations of the Great Dao, but have also cultivated at least 2 types of World-Originating Foundations. Moreover, the World-Originating Foundations they have achieved are exceptionally formidable.

They were all true paragons among mortals, needing only the final step to cultivate 3 Primordial Dao Fruits. Once they took that step, they would possess the supreme combat prowess of a 9-Calamity Immortal.

Once they took that step, as long as they did not perish prematurely, they would inevitably reach at least the Ninth Level of Earth Immortal, or even the half-step Heavenly Immortal realm.

And now, with Eldrin's successful breakthrough, the Flowing Rivers and Vast Seas had gained yet another 8-Calamity Immortal to bolster their ranks.

At this thought, the crowd could not help but feel both startled and overjoyed.

After a moment of contemplation, Riyue Ji spoke with unprecedented gravity: "You must be cautious. The combat prowess of an 8 Calamity Immortal not only signifies an immensely powerful foundation but also often heralds terrifying tribulations."

"Oh?" Eldrin was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by that?"

Riyi shook her head, her gaze distant and profound as she said, "Do you know why 1000 Dragon Lake agreed to the Asura Clan’s demand to besiege the Qingchuan Ancient Sect?"

"For the Source of the Dao," Eldrin spoke, then abruptly changed his expression and declared, "For the Source of the Dao of the 8 Calamities Ancestor of the Qingchuan Ancient Sect!"

"Exactly!"

Riji nodded slightly before speaking, "1000 Dragon Lake has been blessed with remarkable fortune. 3 million years ago, a peerless genius emerged from their ranks."

That true dragon was named Youtai'ao (Person Name), having awakened a rare bloodline of the Primordial Netherdrake. He was a peerless demonic dragon who simultaneously cultivated the Dao Fruit, the Laws, and the Immortal Body.

"This child possesses extraordinary talent. It is said he has already cultivated an Immortal Body and mastered the Dao Laws, attaining combat prowess comparable to an 8-Calamity Immortal. In comparison, the Crimson Dragon Ancestor of yesteryears pales into insignificance."

"During the previous great battle, you slew 4 half-step Earth Immortals from 1000 Dragon Lake, yet they never moved against you immediately."

"Evidently, in their eyes, compared to the Dao Source of the 8-Calamity Immortal from the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect, the grudge of losing 4 Half-Step Earth Immortals could be set aside for now."

"But now, you too have stepped into the 8 Calamities Realm..."
