Chapter 1378 : Forging a World with Divine Flames

The two treasures in his hands were the Infernal Prison War Halberd and the Profound Yang Heaven-Entombing Saber, both of which were formidable High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts used to assist in the creation of a new world].

"Both of these treasures are peerless weapons of slaughter. Which one do you think I should infuse?"

Gazing at the two artifacts, Eldrin Chen spoke.

As the time for World Creation [the supreme act of a cultivator forging their own inner world or cosmos] drew near, Eldrin Chen had spent the recent years in meticulous preparation.

To increase the certainty of success for World Creation, a superior World-Opening Treasure [a specialized magical treasure designed to stabilize and empower the process of world creation] was essential. Thus, Eldrin Chen sought to further enhance the power of his Infernal Prison War Halberd and Profound Yang Heaven-Entombing Saber.

In his possession was the Blazing Malignancy Qi [a potent, condensed essence of destructive fire energy] left behind by the fallen Blaze Lord of the Celestial Prison. By using the Supreme Unity Forging Armaments Path [a profound method for refining and empowering magical weapons] to fuse this essence into a World-Opening Treasure, its power could be increased by half.

Both the Infernal Prison War Halberd and the Profound Yang Heaven-Entombing Saber were aligned with the fire element, making them seemingly suitable vessels for this Blazing Malignancy Qi.

Lyra Jiang pondered for a moment before speaking. "With the power of a top-grade World Creation [the foundational concept of forging one's own cosmos] treasure, an increase of half would likely bring its might to about seventy percent of a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [the legendary pinnacle of world-creation artifacts]."

"Both the Profound Yang Heaven-Entombing Saber and the Infernal Prison War Halberd are suitable. However, since this Baleful Qi [a type of destructive, malignant energy] and the Infernal Prison War Halberd share their origin from the Blaze Lord of the Celestial Prison, the fusion might yield results beyond our expectations." "A valid point."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement, finding Lyra Jiang's reasoning sound. Read, share, and discuss at @udio-novel.com.

Having confirmed his choice, he immediately channeled the Blazing Malignancy Qi [a potent and malevolent energy born of fire and corruption], infusing it into the Infernal Prison War Halberd through the Supreme Unity Forging Armaments Path [a profound method for refining and empowering artifacts].

Unbeknownst to him, as time passed, this High Grade Heaven-Opening Treasure [a top-tier artifact capable of cleaving the heavens] gradually developed a formidable Baleful Qi [a deadly, murderous aura], its destructive power steadily increasing.

Only after a long while, when the Infernal Prison War Halberd had been tempered to its absolute limit, did Eldrin Chen discover that the treasure's might had increased by half.

"A fine treasure indeed," he murmured.

Eldrin Chen hefted the halberd, testing its weight and balance. He found it exceptionally well-suited to his grip. Combined with the raw power of his Chaos Indestructible Body [a physique forged to withstand the chaos of creation itself], its force surpassed that of an ordinary Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade artifact of heaven-rending power] by a significant margin.

"With this weapon in hand," he thought, a cold glint in his eyes, "should I encounter Blaze Lord of the Celestial Prison again, thirty moves would be more than enough to end him."

Savoring the halberd's newfound potency, Eldrin Chen could not help but voice his satisfaction.

Observing his delight, Lyra Jiang smiled and remarked, "By my reckoning, the time for your two Spiritual Root [rare plants that are the foundation of spiritual power and cultivation] to mature is nearly upon us."

"Indeed," Eldrin Chen replied softly, a long-absent warmth touching his heart. "It is time for World Creation [the ultimate act of a cultivator: forging an inner universe within their dantian]."

He returned to the heart of the Abyssal Abode of Bliss [his personal sanctum, a pocket dimension of profound spiritual energy]. There, he found that of his two Spiritual Root, the Primordial Maple of Chaotic Ruins [an ancient tree whose leaves hold the essence of primordial chaos] had already successfully ascended its rank. The North Sea Great Toon [a legendary tree from the northern seas, known for its immense vitality] now stood on the very cusp of its own momentous transformation.

After waiting another three hundred years, the two finally witnessed the North Sea Great Toon complete its ascension successfully.

"The day has finally arrived,"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly. He gathered all the World-Opening Spiritual Root [a legendary spiritual root said to possess the power to cleave open new worlds] and then stepped out of the Abyssal Abode of Bliss.

Within the Abyssal Sea Region, many Immortal [beings who have transcended mortality and attained immortality] sensed something and looked up towards Eldrin Chen.

They wished to witness the ceremony, but as Eldrin Chen had not extended an invitation, their gazes held a silent inquiry.

Eldrin Chen shook his head. Given the profound nature of his foundation, the act of World Creation [the supreme act of forging a new world from primordial chaos] would undoubtedly be earth-shattering. To prevent the news from leaking, the fewer who knew, the better.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen shook his head once more and spoke, "Today, I undertake World Creation. It is not convenient for others to observe. I hope you will not take offense."

"Your Excellency, please proceed. We shall await the auspicious news,"

The immortals of the Immortal Alliance were momentarily taken aback but quickly grasped the reason. They nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. He then stepped into the Void [a profound art of traversing the emptiness between realms] and departed for the location of the Dimensional Void.

Only a select few of his closest kin, such as Lyra Jiang and Verdant Consort, accompanied him into the Dimensional Void to witness the ceremony.

Upon stepping into the boundless Dimensional Void, Eldrin Chen felt myself manifest within a singular point of origin, where Primordial Chaos [the primeval state of undifferentiated matter and energy before creation] had yet to be parted.

Heaven and Earth were yet unformed, a seamless expanse of Void and Primordial Chaos, where neither space nor time held any meaning.

It was oppressive, stifling, utterly silent, and pure Primordial Chaos. "So this," he realized, "is the state before Primordial Chaos is cleaved asunder."

Eldrin Chen opened his eyes, attempting to draw a deep breath, only to find this space devoid of all things—there was not even air to breathe.

Within this extreme, suffocating stillness, Eldrin Chen's eyes blazed with golden light. He gripped the Celestial Prison War Halberd firmly. Discover more cultivation stories at audi0-n0vel.c0m.

"Since nothing exists here, I shall be the one to forge creation!" "BOOM!"

In that instant, the Celestial Prison War Halberd swept out in a mighty arc. A torrent of immeasurable force erupted, sundering the endless layers of Void dimensions.

In the span of a single breath, countless billions upon billions of Li-lengths of Void were torn open. Layer upon layer of nascent heavens and earths began to manifest.

The First Heaven, the Second Heaven, the Threefold Heavens—onward it continued until the Sixfold Heaven and Earth itself was cleaved in two.

With a single strike, Eldrin Chen cleaved through the Sixfold Heaven and Earth. He had merely channeled the power of his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body to wield the Celestial Prison War Halberd, not even depleting his own Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and stored within a practitioner].

"So this is the so-called World Creation [the act of forging a new world or reality]."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a look of serene indifference flashing in his eyes. For an ordinary Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the Earth Immortal realm, a master of worldly powers], consecutively opening up the Sixfold Heaven and Earth might very well be their absolute limit.

Without the aid of various World-Opening Treasure [powerful artifacts specifically designed to assist in the creation or stabilization of new realms], it would be impossible to withstand the immense pressure using only the strength of a World-Opening True Body [a divine physique forged for the purpose of world creation].

But for Eldrin Chen, it was no longer a significant feat. His current Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had long since transcended the pinnacle of the World-Opening True Body. Bearing the pressure of the Sixfold Heavens felt to him as trivial as a mortal donning a heavy cloak.

"Then let us continue."

Eldrin Chen spoke calmly. Relying solely on his physical might, he gripped the Celestial Prison War Halberd and swept it across the cosmos, cleaving through the boundless, formless Void [the primordial emptiness from which all things are born]. Layer after layer of heaven and earth were sundered by his blows.

The Seventh Heaven, the Eighth Heaven, the Ninefold Heavens, and even the Ten-Layered Heaven were each split open, one after another.

After successively cleaving through the Ten-Layered Heaven, Eldrin Chen finally let out a slow, measured breath, feeling only the faintest whisper of fatigue.

The Ten-Layered Heaven, a realm unreachable for even a Ninth Tribulation Immortal [an immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations], was, in the eyes of Eldrin Chen, nothing more than a minor obstacle.

At the moment of World Creation [the act of forging a new world within one's inner cosmos], one must not only muster their full power to World Creation, but also withstand the immense pressure of the heavens and earth converging.

Ordinary Ninth Tribulation Immortal [an Immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations] possess physical bodies insufficiently robust; after opening the Ninefold Heavens [the nine foundational layers of the inner world], they feel as if bearing a great mountain. Even if they still possess Mana [the refined spiritual energy used by cultivators] and a World-Opening Treasure [a rare artifact specifically designed to aid in the creation of an inner world], they lack the remaining strength to continue the World Creation.

Yet for Eldrin Chen, bearing the weight of a Ten-Layered Heaven [a world with ten heavenly layers, surpassing the standard nine] was nothing significant.

His physical strength alone had already allowed him to step into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary state of physical cultivation beyond conventional limits], let alone the further enhancement his body received after condensing his Dao Fruit [the ultimate crystallization of one's cultivation path and comprehension of the Dao].

While a Ten-Layered Heaven world appears astonishing, in truth, compared to the standard Ninefold Heavens and Earth [the complete inner world structure of nine heavens and one earth], it merely adds a single layer, increasing the burden by only one-tenth.

And how could Eldrin Chen's Primordial Indestructible Body [a legendary physique of unparalleled resilience and strength] be merely twice as strong as that of an ordinary Ninth Tribulation Immortal? It far surpassed that.

With such a formidable Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [an even more supreme version of the indestructible physique, born from Primordial Chaos], bearing a Ten-Layered Heaven world was trivial; it would have been sufficient to bear ten layers of the standard Eight-Layered Heaven and Earth [a world structure of eight heavens and one earth].

Precisely because of this, Eldrin Chen relied solely on his physical might to successfully open a Ten-Layered Heaven world.

At this moment, Eldrin Chen had a premonition. Perhaps the ultimate limit of the world he could forge would not be determined by how many layers of celestial pressure he could bear, but rather by the insufficiency of his Mana and the inability of his World-Opening Spiritual Root [the unique spiritual foundation within a cultivator that enables world creation] to sustain the process.
