Chapter 1325 : A Master's Timely Intervention

The youth murmured inwardly, yet still gathered every shred of his Immortal Essence [the foundational energy of an immortal], preparing for a final, desperate strike—to unleash his last sword technique.

At that very moment, a World-Illuminating Immortal Light [a radiant divine light capable of illuminating the world] blossomed forth, and a figure clad in snow-white robes appeared high upon the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome of the heavens].

Upon arriving, the newcomer swept his long sleeve with immense force, actually sending the Supreme-Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal grade] wielded by the Black Fiend Demon Venerable flying away.

"Who might you be?"

Seeing his prized Immortal Treasure [an enchanted artifact used by immortals] knocked aside, the Black Fiend Demon Venerable's expression shifted slightly. He immediately abandoned his assault on the youth, turning a gaze of utmost gravity towards Eldrin Chen.

The youth also looked over. The moment he saw Eldrin Chen, his face froze in stunned disbelief, then transformed into overwhelming joy. He dropped to his knees, his voice choked with emotion as he spoke.

"Your disciple, Fate Birth, pays respects to his honored master!"

"The Great Encompassing Foundation [a foundational cultivation realm representing vast potential]... you have done well."

Eldrin Chen glanced at the youth, nodding with satisfaction. With a flick of his sleeve, he gently lifted the kneeling disciple to his feet, then turned his gaze back to the Black Fiend Demon Venerable.

Feeling that gaze upon him, the Black Fiend Demon Venerable's heart sank with dread. Without a moment's hesitation, he turned and fled into the distance, desperate to save his life. Official source: audio - novel . com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

"Since you chose to bully the weak, why be in such a hurry to leave?"

Eldrin Chen spoke with utter calm. With a flick of his sleeve, the Primordial One Energy Grasping Hand [a divine technique that manifests a giant hand of pure energy to seize and crush] descended to suppress the space. In a single move, he annihilated Black Fiend Demon Venerable within the void.

Witnessing how Black Fiend Demon Venerable had not lasted even one exchange against Eldrin Chen, the remaining Demon Immortals [demonic cultivators who have ascended to immortality] were gripped by terror.

Three Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm] Demon Immortals immediately shot into the sky, fleeing desperately into the distant void.

Yet how could Eldrin Chen let them escape? With another flick of his sleeve, the Celestial Abyss Twin Swords transformed into streaks of sword light that shot forth. Boundless sword energy surged and cleaved through the heavens. In that instant, the fallen immortals rained down like a storm.

In the span of mere moments, several dozen Demon Immortals, including those three Ascendant Immortal 9th Tiers, were utterly exterminated.

Only then did the Human Race immortals react. They bowed deeply towards the Earthly Path [the path of cultivation Eldrin Chen follows, representing profound and grounded power]. "We offer our deepest gratitude for your lifesaving grace, Senior."

Eldrin Chen gave a faint nod and, with a wave of his sleeve, gently raised them all to their feet.

He tossed the three Path Sources [the condensed essence of a cultivator's cultivation path, a precious resource] from the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tiers to Fate Birth, then nodded with satisfaction. "In just tens of thousands of years, you have not only forged a Great Encompassing Foundation [a supreme and all-encompassing foundation for one's cultivation path], but also stepped into the realm of the Ascendant Immortal 7th Tier."

"Such a foundation is no weaker than that of your two senior brothers."

Speaking to this point, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Are you willing to return with your master?"

Fate Birth's face lit up with ecstatic joy, and he immediately prostrated himself on the Earthly Path [the foundational cultivation path]: "To be able to serve at my master's side is this disciple's greatest honor."

"Mm."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, then spoke again: "Wait here for now. Your master will return to fetch you in three days."

With those words, Eldrin Chen did not linger. He immediately headed deeper into the Crimson Sun Sea Region, soon coming to a halt before a submarine volcano.

"This is the place."

Gazing at the volcano, Eldrin Chen gave a slight, approving nod.

In ages past, when the Crimson Sun Blessed Land shattered, the Primordial Solar Flame Vein [the primordial vein of solar fire energy] scattered across the entire Crimson Sun Sea Region, forming several thousand Fire Vein [subterranean channels of concentrated fire energy] of varying sizes.

Among these Fire Vein, the smallest were merely at the Fifth Rank or Sixth Rank level. Several dozen reached the immortal-grade realm, and among those were three supreme-grade Fire Vein.

The Fire Vein before him was one of those three supreme-grade Fire Vein.

Having attained immortality for a mere seventy thousand years, Eldrin Chen had already refined two Earth Vein [powerful spiritual energy currents rooted deep within the earth] for his Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique of immense resilience and power]: a supreme-grade Metallic Gold vein and a supreme-grade First Wood vein.

Of the remaining three Earth Vein, he had obtained a supreme-grade Bulwark Earth Vein vein from Earth Spring Patriarch and, not long ago, acquired the Supreme-Grade Water Vein from the Grand Granary Black Fish within the Grand Granary Sea Region.

Now, only this final supreme-grade Fire Vein remained for Eldrin Chen to gather the complete set of five elemental Earth Vein.

"Once the five supreme-grade Earth Vein are assembled, the Five Elements Origin [the foundational essence of the five primal elements] required for my Primordial One Indestructibility Body will be fully replenished," he mused.

"Refining these three Earth Vein will trigger a qualitative transformation in my physique, elevating it into the true World-Opening True Body [a body capable of withstanding the forces of world creation]."

Eldrin Chen channeled his Primordial One Energy Grasping Hand [a mighty spectral hand formed from primordial energy] to seize the Earth Vein, then stored it safely within his Polarity Void Mirror. Official source: audio-novel . com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

With this task complete, a wave of relief finally washed over Eldrin Chen.

He sensed that once his Primordial One Indestructibility Body assimilated the power of the five supreme-grade Earth Vein, his physical form would reach an unprecedented level of strength.

Perhaps then, relying on his bodily might alone, Eldrin Chen could contend with a Middle Stage Earth Immortal [a cultivator of significant power within the Earth Immortal realm], his combat prowess potentially stepping into the domain of a Nine Tribulations Immortal.

Furthermore, the evolution of his Primordial One Indestructibility Body into the World-Opening True Body would forge an even more formidable vessel—his meridians would expand into vast channels, capable of containing a far greater reservoir of magical power.

At that time, Eldrin Chen's overall combat prowess would undoubtedly undergo a qualitative leap.

"When that time comes, will I be able to advance further, to tread into the legendary Forbidden Domain, possessing a bearing comparable to that of an Immortal Court Imperial Lord?"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a flicker of hesitation crossing his expression.

Soon, however, his expression firmed with resolve. Whether he could truly step into that realm, even Eldrin Chen did not know for certain.

Yet he was supremely confident. Relying solely on the Primordial One Limitless Path Principles, his combat strength should already rank among the pinnacle of Nine Tribulations Immortal.

If he succeeded in cultivating the World-Opening True Body, his power would undoubtedly advance another step. Regardless of whether it allowed him to enter that fabled domain, any increase in his strength, any greater assurance of surviving the Great Tribulation, would be more than sufficient.

With his mind settled, Eldrin Chen wasted no more time.

Once he had fully secured the premium-grade Fire Vein, he returned to the Human Race Immortal Isles. From there, he took Fate Birth and set off for the Returning Abyss Sea Region.

Back in the Returning Abyss Sea Region, Eldrin Chen summoned his first disciple Alistair Ye, his second disciple Literature Abyss Lu, and his nominal disciple Exquisite Fragrance Su. To the gathered disciples, he introduced the newcomer.

"This child is named Fate Birth. He has come into being through the inheritance of my Path Fruit [the condensed essence of a cultivator's understanding of their chosen Dao, a prerequisite for ascension to immortality]."

"From this day forth, he shall be your Fourth Junior Brother, and my fourth personal disciple."

Eldrin Chen recounted the tale, narrating the Karma [the cosmic principle of cause and effect that binds all actions and their consequences] from the days of the Verdant Spirit Ancient Star, then addressed Fate Birth: "These are your Eldest Senior Brother Alistair Ye and your Second Senior Brother Literature Abyss Lu."

"And Little Seven…"

Eldrin Chen's voice paused briefly as he looked at Exquisite Fragrance Su. "Little Seven is named Exquisite Fragrance Su. She is one of the seven nominal disciples I accepted in my earlier years and can be considered your senior sister."

"Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Senior Sister Su."

Fate Birth bowed respectfully. His gaze swept over the three, and a look of profound astonishment dawned in his eyes.

He had believed himself to be a heaven-defying talent, that forging a Great Encompassing Potential [a constitution of legendary rarity and power] was a feat unseen for ages. Never did he imagine his two senior brothers would be his equals.

Among the three senior siblings before him, the nominal disciple, Senior Sister Su, possessed a foundation that was merely ordinary. Yet, the personal disciples, Literature Abyss Lu and Alistair Ye, both boasted peerless, world-shaking aptitudes.

That Literature Abyss Lu harbored the Four Symbols Path Body [a constitution allowing simultaneous cultivation of four distinct Path Principles], cultivating four types of Path Principles Power [the fundamental laws and energies that define a cultivator's chosen Dao]. His combat prowess seemed to surpass Fate Birth's own by a noticeable margin.

The Eldest Senior Brother was even more formidable, his aura suffused with the power of the Primordial Solar [the pure, primordial essence of the sun]. He appeared to have mastered the Primordial Solar Limitless Path [a supreme cultivation art harnessing boundless solar energy]. Though his cultivation was only at the Ascendant Immortal 6th Tier [the sixth tier of the Ascendant Immortal realm], the sense of threat he emanated far exceeded anything Fate Birth had felt from himself.

"The combat prowess of these two senior brothers likely surpasses the Ascendant Immortal 9th Tier realm," he mused inwardly, a tremor of awe running through him. "Their foundational cultivation and inherent potential seem even more profound and unshakable than my own."

Fate Birth whispered the thought to himself, his heart swelling with a profound sense of reverence and astonishment. For the best reading experience, visit audio–novel.com.
