Chapter 1376 : A Flower of Calamity and Escape

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a look of shock coloring his features. It was undeniable that had he not stumbled upon this discovery by chance, allowing the Celestial Prison Race's scheme to succeed, it was highly probable that a Celestial Prison Grotto-Heaven [a self-contained pocket realm of immense power] would have truly manifested within the Western Divine Abyss Sea.

Given the deep-seated enmity between their factions, the Patriarch of the Celestial Prison Clan would have undoubtedly sought their utter annihilation.

At this thought, a wave of belated fear washed over them all. Solara immediately inquired, "What should we do now?"

Eldrin Chen pondered briefly before speaking. "This Tribulation Transcendence Flower [a legendary herb that feeds on the energy of cosmic calamities to mature] still requires a substantial infusion of tribulation energy to fully ripen."

"However, with the fall of the Blaze Lord of the Celestial Prison, the Patriarch of the Celestial Prison Clan will likely rush here at any cost. We do not have the luxury to wait for its maturation."

Eldrin Chen stated calmly, and without a moment's hesitation, he stored the Tribulation Transcendence Flower away.

He glanced at the group and continued, "We shall take it with us and nurture it until the next Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic cosmic event that reshapes fate and destiny]."

"Agreed."

Everyone nodded in solemn assent.

The next Great Tribulation would be the once-in-ten-million-years Dao Tribulation [a tribulation that tests one's comprehension of the fundamental Dao]. The energy of that Great Tribulation would likely be a hundred times more potent than this one. By then, the Tribulation Transcendence Flower would assuredly mature with great speed.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin Chen wasted no time and immediately led the group away.

They soon found the other immortals and then led everyone towards the Immortal Domain.

Not long after the group departed, a majestic figure wreathed in boundless tribulation aura strode forth.

He gazed silently at the battlefield for a long while, the air thick with an oppressive, suffocating weight.

Only after an eternity did an infinite, boundless killing intent surge through the Yin-Yang [the dual realms of Yin and Yang], causing all living things to tremble in fear before it finally subsided into silence once more.

"The schemes of the Great Tribulation [the cosmic calamity that tests all cultivators] have come to naught."

With a sigh, that boundless killing intent was completely withdrawn, though the murderous light in his eyes remained as sharp and tangible as a blade.

Meanwhile, Eldrin Chen brought the group into the Immortal Domain. He did not leave immediately. Instead, he had others gather intelligence to understand the full cause and effect of this Great Tribulation.

After learning the situation, Eldrin Chen spoke, "The Demonic Tribe [the race of malevolent demons] is doomed. Without some heaven-defying trump card, it will be impossible for them to turn the tide."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

During the years of Eldrin Chen's secluded cultivation, the Demonic Tribe within the Hundred Demons Archipelago had been steadily pushed back in defeat.

Of the hundreds of Demonic Tribe sea territories, aside from the Western Abyss Dragon Palace, only two others still held out, and it seemed they would not last much longer.

Seeing the tide of war had irrevocably turned, many Demonic Tribe Blessed Land [a place of immense spiritual fortune and power] began to withdraw their forces. Only the Western Abyss Dragon Palace and the direct lineage of the Dragon Race continued their desperate, bitter struggle.

Under such circumstances, once the final two sea territories were breached, and the combined armies of the Human Race and Divine Race from their various Blessed Land converged outside the Western Abyss Dragon Palace, even its formidable mountain-protecting grand formation would be unable to withstand the onslaught.

By then, even if the Lord of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace still held some hidden trump card, it would likely be insufficient to overturn the heavens themselves.

After all, while the Western Abyss Dragon Palace had the backing of the Demon Race Celestial Court, the forces of the Leaf Ruins Divine Sea and the Divine Race also possessed trump cards bestowed upon them by two Grotto-Heaven [a transcendent, self-contained paradise realm].

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Though the overall situation is settled, the power of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace's final, desperate struggle should not be underestimated."

"We should not involve ourselves, lest we blindly stumble into calamity and become mere cannon fodder."

Hearing this, the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord nodded slightly and said, "Since that is the case, I shall not linger any longer."

"Indeed." Eldrin Chen nodded in return, then cupped his hands respectfully. "This journey was greatly aided by your assistance, Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a cultivator on the same path]."

"As friends, there is no need for such formality between us," Ancient Ruins Yin Lord [a powerful Yin-aligned deity] shook his head, then cupped his hands in farewell to Eldrin Chen. After seeing off the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, Eldrin Chen did not linger either, immediately leading his companions back into the depths of the Abyssal Sea Region [a vast and perilous sea realm].

Upon returning to the Abyssal Sea Region, Eldrin Chen wasted no time in inspecting the World-Opening Spiritual Root [a legendary spiritual root capable of supporting the creation of a new world] he required for his own use.

Over the years, Eldrin Chen had prepared five such World-Opening Spiritual Roots for himself. They were: the Longevity Ancient Tree [an ancient tree embodying longevity], the Primordial Maple of Chaotic Ruins [a primordial maple born from chaotic ruins], the Fire Phoenix Parasol Tree [a parasol tree imbued with fire phoenix essence], the North Sea Great Toon [a mighty toon tree from the North Sea], and the Primordial Earth Source Tree [a tree born from the primordial essence of earth].

Among these World-Opening Spiritual Roots, the Longevity Ancient Tree was nurtured within the Abyssal Abode of Bliss [a blessed land within the Abyssal Sea] and had long since become a true World-Opening Spiritual Root. The Primordial Earth Source Tree, a gift from the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect [an ancient and powerful cultivation sect], was also a fully-fledged World-Opening Spiritual Root.

Furthermore, after years of careful cultivation, the Fire Phoenix Parasol Tree had also successfully advanced to become a World-Opening Spiritual Root.

Only the Primordial Maple of Chaotic Ruins and the North Sea Great Toon lagged slightly behind, requiring approximately eight more Millennium [a period of one thousand years] to complete their ascension. Dive deeper into the Dao at *audio-novel.com*.

"The Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of conflict and upheaval] still has ten thousand years to run. It seems I will be able to complete my advancement before its conclusion," Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a faint sigh of relief escaping him. With the Demonic Tribe [a powerful race of demons] and the Celestial Prison Race [a formidable celestial race] currently preoccupied with their own survival, the overall situation was highly favorable. It appeared he would face no further grave dangers before the end of the Great Tribulation.

With this in mind, Eldrin Chen decided to use these eight Millennium to further hone his abilities and prepare for the supreme act of World Creation [the creation of one's own inner world or domain].

He summoned Lyra Jiang and the others and stated directly, "Before we undertake World Creation, we must gather a multitude of rare treasures to prepare for cultivating the World-Opening Divine Ability [a divine ability foundational to world creation] and for the act of World Creation itself."

Upon hearing this, the group nodded in agreement. Lyra Jiang said, "Now that the Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of conflict and destiny] has entered its latter half, the outcomes have been decided in many sea regions."

"It is likely that many Immortal [beings who have ascended to a higher state of existence] have already completed their World Creation [the act of forging a personal inner world or microcosm]. I have already dispatched people to gather Heaven-Opening Polar Light [a primordial light essence used in world-creation] from all corners."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and then spoke, "Beyond that, the treasures required for your cultivation of the Primordial Unity path and the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique harnessing the five elements], namely the Five Elements Thunder Source, must also be collected with haste." "I understand."

Lyra Jiang nodded, indicating that she had already arranged for people to search far and wide for them.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen said no more on the matter.

In the time that followed, he entered seclusion within the Starry Glazed Realm [a mystical realm of stars and crystal],

tempering his foundation, contemplating and refining his various Divine Ability [supernatural powers and techniques], while simultaneously keeping an eye on the shifting landscape of the Western Divine Abyss Sea.

As the number of Earth Immortal [a powerful realm of cultivation] who had achieved World Creation increased in recent years, the speed of gathering Heaven-Opening Polar Light had also greatly accelerated.

In merely a few hundred years, he had gathered all five types of Heaven-Opening Polar Light and subsequently cultivated his Five-Colored Divine Radiance [a divine ability manifesting five-colored light] to the Heaven-Opening Realm [a profound stage of mastery].

Having broken through to the World Creation [the concept and power of world-forging] realm, the Five-Colored Divine Radiance had now ascended to the level of a Mysterious Profound-grade World-Opening Divine Ability [a supreme divine power capable of shaping reality]. When channeled with Eldrin Chen's current Mana [spiritual power and essence], it could effortlessly seize even a High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a top-tier magical artifact used in world-creation].

One Millennium [a period of one thousand years] later, Stella and Luna, the Consort achieved a breakthrough, cultivating a second Heaven-Opening Foundation [a supreme foundational cultivation art that opens the path to the heavens]. Relying on these dual Heaven-Opening Foundation, both women's combat prowess stepped into the domain of Seven Tribulation Half-Step Earth Immortal [a realm signifying immense power, just half a step from becoming a true Earth Immortal].

As they wished, Eldrin Chen used the Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal grade] Vast Sea Divine Pearl [a divine pearl containing the essence of a vast sea] to refine two External Elixir [an external pill that aids in cultivation breakthroughs] for them.

Upon obtaining the External Elixir, both women immediately began their assault on the Heaven-Opening Realm [the realm of opening the heavens, a major cultivation stage]. Borrowing a Mid-Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a mid-grade treasure specifically for the Heaven-Opening Realm], they succeeded as expected, opening the lands of the Seventh Heaven [the seventh and highest tier of the Heaven-Opening Realm, representing supreme potential].

"Congratulations to you both."

Witnessing their breakthrough, Eldrin Chen felt profound satisfaction in his heart. Both women had opened the lands of the Seventh Heaven, greatly increasing their Deep-Seated Foundation [the depth and solidity of one's cultivation base]. From this point onward, they were destined to be figures of at least Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm].
