Chapter 1329 : The Final Threshold of Enlightenment

Simultaneously, within the Abyss of the Returning Abyss, Eldrin Chen slowly opened his eyes.

He stood guard before Exquisite Jiang's Seclusion Chamber, continuously manifesting the Primordial One Limitless Rule Power [the foundational power of the Primordial One Limitless Law], quietly awaiting something.

Inside the cavern abode, Exquisite Jiang sensed something. A wisp of her divine consciousness continuously observed Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Limitless Rule Power, striving to comprehend the mysteries of this profound power.

In truth, a full century prior, Eldrin Chen had already refined three Earth Vein [underground spiritual energy channels], initially cultivating his Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique of unbreakable resilience] to the World-Opening Realm.

After his World-Opening True Body [a divine ability associated with the World-Opening Realm] was initially forged, Eldrin Chen immediately emerged from seclusion, intending to aid his companions without delay.

However, upon sensing Exquisite Jiang's unique state and finding the Cosmic Stellar Formation [a grand defensive array] still largely intact, Eldrin Chen decided to postpone his emergence.

For a hundred years ago, Exquisite Jiang's comprehension of her fifth Great Law [a fundamental cosmic principle] had already reached its most critical juncture, standing on the very threshold of mastering the Great Five Elements Limitless Rule.

Yet, taking this final step was no simple feat. It could be achieved within a single millennium, or it might require several thousand years of dedicated effort.

Inspired in that moment, Eldrin Chen chose to manifest the essence of his own Primordial One Limitless Rule, intending to guide Exquisite Jiang across that final threshold.

And so it proved. As Eldrin Chen unreservedly unveiled the mysteries of his Primordial One Limitless Rule, Exquisite Jiang, through constant contemplation, made rapid strides in her fifth Great Law. Now, it was on the verge of taking its final, complete form. The story continues at audio-novel.com (official site).

"Almost there, just the final sliver remains,"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, his expression turning solemn.

He understood clearly that once Exquisite Jiang took this step, their side would gain the combat power of a Nine Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations, possessing power nearing that of an Earth Immortal].

And a Nine Tribulations Immortal, with their astonishing might, often rivals even those at the fifth or sixth level of the Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal realm where one's power is deeply connected to the earth].

In the current situation, having one more Nine Tribulations Immortal on their side could very well tip the scales of victory.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Eldrin Chen fully unleashed the profound mysteries of the Primordial One Limitless Rule [the supreme law of the boundless primordial unity] while simultaneously sensing the transformations within his own body.

Within Eldrin Chen's body at this moment, his Five Viscera [the five vital organs: heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys] were brimming with five types of supremely majestic power.

His Five Viscera resembled five blazing suns, each radiating dazzling immortal light, as if five Nine Heavens Imperial Lord [Imperial Lords who reign over the Nine Heavens] were garrisoned within, each possessing vast and boundless, world-shaking divine might.

His heart blazed like fire, his lungs resembled Immortality Immortal Gold [a legendary, indestructible immortal metal], his liver was like the Longevity Verdant Emperor [the Verdant Emperor who embodies eternal life and vitality], his spleen was akin to the Earth Mother Divine Spirit [the Divine Spirit of the Earth Mother, representing nurturing and stability], and his kidneys echoed the Nine Heavens Black Emperor [the Black Emperor who governs the profound waters of the Nine Heavens].

These five awe-inspiring forces, each possessed boundless and majestic power.

When the five powers converged, their combined force continuously nourished the physical body of Eldrin Chen, bestowing upon him the power of Immortality [the state of being undying and eternal] and Indestructibility [the quality of being impossible to destroy or damage].

"A physical body with Immortality and Indestructibility, five Supreme-Grade Earth Vein [a supreme-grade terrestrial spiritual energy leyline] gathered into one being. The strength of my flesh is nearly boundless and inexhaustible."

"By physical strength alone, I am now comparable to a Nine Tribulations Immortal [an immortal who has survived nine heavenly tribulations], having at least taken the first step into that realm."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, roughly estimating the extent of his own power.

He felt a profound confidence. Even relying solely on his physical might, he would not fear an opponent like the former Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon Patriarch in the slightest.

For his current Five Viscera [the five internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys] had absorbed the empowerment of five Supreme-Grade Earth Vein. The energy contained within each of these veins was comparable to a World-Opening Treasure [a divine artifact of immense power capable of shaping worlds], akin to housing a World-Opening Divine Spirit [a primordial divine entity associated with the creation of realms].

With the power of five such Earth Vein [a terrestrial spiritual energy leyline] simultaneously empowering his Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique of primordial unity and unbreakable durability], it naturally granted him limitless, inexhaustible strength. This strength was sufficient to rend apart a Primordial Era Desolate Dragon [a mighty dragon from the primordial epochs] with bare hands and to contend on equal footing with a Middle Stage Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has reached the middle stage of the Earth Immortal realm].

Moreover, he was acutely aware that his physical body had not yet reached its state of ultimate perfection.

His Primordial One Indestructibility Body had only just achieved initial completion at the World-Opening [the World-Opening cultivation realm] stage. To reach true, flawless perfection, it still needed to undergo tempering by endless Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering [a cultivation art that uses heavenly thunder to refine the body], quenching by boundless Gale [a powerful wind-based formation or energy], and marrow-forging by primordial, eternal ice.

Only after being tempered by these three most formidable forces, after absorbing and channeling these supremely powerful energies throughout his entire being, could his physical form be polished to flawless perfection, reaching the absolute pinnacle of this realm.

By that time, Eldrin Chen's physical strength alone would likely rival that of a top-tier Nine Tribulations Immortal, enabling him to contend with the mightiest of Sixth Level Earth Immortal experts.

"My current physical body is already robust enough to withstand attacks from a Middle Stage Earth Immortal. There are likely few places left in this world potent enough to temper it further."

"Only within terrifying seas like the Myriad Tribulations Sea of Thunder [a legendary, boundless ocean of endless, world-shattering thunder tribulations] could sufficient pressure be found to push my physical form to its next evolution."

"For now, I cannot find such an ultimate cultivation ground, and even if I could, I lack the leisure to venture there."

"The immediate priority is to prepare for the impending Great Tribulation."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, sensing the boundless power contained within his flesh, yet a faint smile touched his lips. This content originates from audio-novel . com. Please respect copyright.

After cultivating his Primordial One Indestructibility Body to its initial World-Opening stage, his overall strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

This leap did not stem primarily from his physical might. While formidable, his Primordial One Indestructibility Body had only just entered the Nine Tribulations Domain and could not yet compare to his mastery of the Primordial One Limitless Rule.

Without having condensed the Primordial One Limitless World-Opening Path Fruit, he could not achieve the Trinity Unity [a supreme state of harmony where essence, energy, and spirit fuse into one, causing a cultivator's power to undergo a fundamental metamorphosis], which would trigger a true qualitative transformation of his power.

The most significant boost to his prowess, in truth, came from his spiritual energy [the refined vital force cultivated and circulated by immortals].

Since breaking through the World-Opening True Body [a divine physique capable of splitting the heavens and earth], his meridian channels had expanded by a full twofold, allowing them to contain twice the amount of spiritual energy [the vital energy that flows through all living things].

Most crucially, his five types of Rule Power [the fundamental powers governing aspects of reality] intertwined with the energies of the Supreme-Grade Earth Vein [a supreme-grade terrestrial spiritual leyline] residing within his Five Viscera [the five vital organs in traditional Chinese medicine], giving birth to five supremely powerful divine deities.

Any single one of these Five Divine Deities possessed power comparable to a World-Opening Treasure [a treasure of legendary power capable of cleaving creation]. Combined, their strength was sufficient to contend with a Middle Stage Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has reached the middle stage of the Earth Immortal realm].

Now, after merging with his Rule Power, their power could be unified with Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Limitless Rule [the primordial, boundless law of unity], producing an unprecedented qualitative transformation.

Eldrin Chen could clearly sense that he had stepped into an unprecedented domain.

Within this domain, every strike he unleashed possessed the power to World-Opening [split the heavens and earth]. Even a casual blow, requiring minimal expenditure of spiritual energy, was comparable to the full-force strike of an ordinary Earth Immortal Patriarch.

If he were to wield this unified power, any Divine Ability [a supernatural technique or power] he activated would possess the might to slay or awe even immortals—a power that had already transcended the realm of Middle Stage Earth Immortal.

"The true combat prowess of a Late Stage Earth Immortal."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, roughly gauging his current level of strength.

Previously, he could only barely attain the combat power of a Seventh Level Earth Immortal by activating a Mysterious Grade Divine Ability [a divine ability of the mysterious grade], and even that could only be maintained for an extremely brief moment.

However, upon stepping into this realm, his power had truly become permanently anchored at the Late Stage Earth Immortal level.

Previously, when he activated the Primordial One Energy True Aura [a supreme defensive technique that forms an impenetrable barrier of unified primordial energy], it was nearly shattered by the Blaze Lord of Heaven's Prison.

Yet, at this moment, Eldrin Chen felt absolute confidence. Before his magical power was exhausted, even if he were to withstand simultaneous assaults from two or three High-Grade World-Opening Treasure [treasures of immense power capable of cleaving through the fabric of reality], the Primordial One Energy True Aura would not be breached.

"My combat prowess has reached its zenith. Even if I were to formally step into the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of terrestrial immortals, marking a cultivator's transcendence beyond mortality] now, there would be no qualitative leap in strength."

"The sole difference between breaking through to the Early-stage Earth Immortal and my current state would be a massive surge in magical power and a vastly improved endurance in battle."

"Yet, as I stand now, the depth of my magical reserves should rival that of a Fourth Level Earth Immortal who has opened a Sixfold Heaven [a measure of an Earth Immortal's foundational strength, representing the opening of six celestial apertures within their dantian]."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, a glint of self-assurance flashing in his eyes.

Previously, the profundity of his magical power was roughly comparable to a Fourth Level Earth Immortal who had opened a Threefold Heaven.

Now, his power rivaled that of a Fourth Level Earth Immortal with a Sixfold Heaven foundation—an immense and profound depth, having doubled in magnitude.

One must understand, setting aside the Positive Water Verdant Lotus Throne [a spiritual treasure that augments a cultivator's energy reserves and purity], his inherent magical power was originally only on par with a first-level Earth Immortal of Threefold Heaven. This increase was equivalent to tripling his original foundational reserves. Read, share, and discuss at audio–novel.com.
