Chapter 1318 : Primordial Lotus Throne

At this thought, a trace of delight surfaced on Daoist Tianfeng’s face. He retrieved the Primordial Chaos Qi from his sleeve and handed it over, saying,

"This artifact I entrust to you, Fellow Daoist. May it aid you in shattering our foes and guiding us through this great tribulation."

Seeing this, Eldrin took the Primordial Chaos Qi and said with a light laugh, "With this, perhaps I can attempt to make some plans."

At this critical moment, Daoist Tianfeng successfully achieved his breakthrough, adding an Earth Immortal-level combatant to their ranks—equivalent to giving everyone a stabilizing pill.

Eldrin obtained the Primordial Chaos Qi and wasted no time in fusing it into the Nen Water Blue Lotus Throne. He then journeyed to the Abyssal Chasm of Returning Ruin, ceaselessly drawing upon the boundless Primordial Heavy Water to advance the Nen Water Blue Lotus Throne's grade.

For the Mystic Water Azure Lotus Throne to ascend into a Heaven-Opening Treasure, it would require an astronomical quantity of resources and a considerably prolonged period of time.

Eldrin could not wait that long. Urgently activating his Yin-Yang Void Mirror, which contained vast quantities of Primordial Unity Heavy Water, he placed the Nephrite Water Lotus Throne within it to undergo continuous refinement. Stealthily, he began making his way beyond the confines of the Chaotic Abyss Sea.

Hidden within the Yin Yang Void Realm, he simultaneously aided the Ren Water Blue Lotus Throne's ascension while soundlessly soaring across the boundless sea. Unbeknownst to him, he had already ventured beyond the Qingchuan Sea Region.

When he arrived beyond the Azure River Sea, Eldrin couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief. "I've come 5 100 years early, and the Ancient Sect of Azure River is indeed still holding on."

Seeing that the Verdant Stream Sect had yet to be breached, Eldrin felt a slight sense of relief. He then began to survey the battlefield.

After just a single glance, a faint frown appeared between Eldrin's brows.

Yet within the vast expanse of the Azure River Sea before them, countless immortal isles and spiritual islands had already dimmed their radiance, with numerous formation cores and celestial islands breached by the onslaught.

The protective formation of the Azurestream Ancient Sect had now been reduced to only the core guardian array of the Azurestream Blessed Land.

And this final mountain-protecting array was already teetering on the brink of collapse under the assault of the demon clan's countless treasure ships.

"It seems that without a hidden trump card, the Verdant Stream Sect can likely only hold out for another 3 100-some years."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his gaze growing ever more solemn.

Outside the Greenhaven Blessed Land, over 5 100 demonic immortals, 20-some half-step Earth Immortals, several full Earth Immortals, and 2 seventh-level Earth Immortals had laid siege. 1 could say they had cast a net from which not even a fly could escape.

Moreover, both the Prison Flame Monarch and the Master of 1000 Dragon Lake were supreme beings who had opened 6 layers of celestial dominion, with their cultivation having reached the seventh level of Earth Immortal. Either 1 of them would be exceedingly difficult to deal with.

Under such circumstances, unless a late-stage Earth Immortal arrived with a massive army for reinforcement, even if the Return to Void Immortal Alliance and its allies deployed their full forces, it would merely be a futile sacrifice.

Eldrin's journey this time was never intended to culminate in a life-or-death struggle against the demonic races or the Blaze Monarch of the Celestial Prison.

His purpose for this journey was to rescue the several Earth Immortal progenitors of the Qingchuan Ancient Sect by utilizing the power of the Yin-Yang Void Mirror, a primordial treasure of creation, when the sect faced imminent destruction.

If they could rescue the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer expert—the master of the Azure Stream Ancient Sect—along with the other Earth Immortal elders at the critical moment, then there might still be a fighting chance in the upcoming battle of the Chasm Sea.

And if we cannot rescue them, then the upcoming battle in the Eldritch Abyss Sea will likely be unwinnable.

Facing 2 late-stage Earth Immortals, hundreds of celestial beings, and the assault of a Primordial Chaos Ark simultaneously, even the repeatedly reinforced Zhou Tian Star Formation would likely be unable to withstand the onslaught.

At this thought, Eldrin grew increasingly tense.

Whether they could rescue the master of the Azure River Ancient Sect, and how many Earth Immortal elders they could save, would determine the landscape of the impending great war.

It was foreseeable that if 2 or 3 Earth Immortal Patriarchs were successfully rescued, both the master of the 1000 Dragons Lake and the Flaming Prison Monarch would surely cough up blood in fury.

But rescuing someone from the hands of 2 late-stage Earth Immortals was undoubtedly like dancing on the edge of a blade. The slightest misstep could trap Eldrin within.

Although the Yin Yang Void Mirror was excellent, capable of instantly transporting Eldrin across a vast stretch of sea, each activation required a certain period of time to recover.

After all, the void within the immortal realm was exceptionally stable. To traverse through void space in the immortal realm was a feat only Celestial Immortals could accomplish. Although Eldrin could achieve this by relying on spatial treasures, there were still certain limitations.

"The chance comes but once. How many I can save ultimately depends on the timing of my strike, as well as my own strength and methods."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his gaze shifting toward the Rising Water Azure Lotus Platform currently undergoing its ascension.

Under normal circumstances, with 2 seventh-level Earth Immortals besieging him, he was only confident he could rescue 1 person.

However, if this Ninesprout Aqua Lotus Throne (Magic Treasure) were to successfully advance, its capacity to store spiritual energy would increase by more than threefold. By then, he would be able to fully activate the Primordial Chaos Aegis (Cultivation Art) to protect himself, and perhaps have the confidence to rescue a few more people.

At this thought, Eldrin immediately took action, assisting the Ren Water Blue Lotus Platform in refining the Monadic Heavy Water while keeping a grave watch on the battlefield.

Thus time slipped away, and 3 100 years had passed.

Over the past 2 to 3 100 years, with Eldrin's full assistance, the Renwater Blue Lotus Platform finally achieved its ascension, reaching the realm of Heaven-Opening Treasures.

Eldrin inspected it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief. After successfully advancing, the Renwater Blue Lotus Platform now possessed 3 wondrous functions.

The first type is the storage of magical power.

After his successful breakthrough, the amount of spiritual power he could store tripled.

However, Eldrin's current magical power was immensely profound, and the amount he had stored was equivalent to that of a first-level Earth Immortal who had opened 3 layers of the celestial realm.

Combined with Eldrin's own mana, it roughly reached the level of a fourth-stage Earth Immortal, which should barely suffice for Eldrin to sustain high-intensity combat for a period of time.

The second wondrous function, which is also an inherent 1, allows it to transform into a 12-grade azure lotus throne. By sitting atop it, 1 can withstand the assaults of formidable foes.

Moreover, its defensive capabilities were remarkably robust, roughly comparable to a heterodox-level Heaven-Sundering divine ability. Even a mid-stage Earth Immortal would need to unleash several full-powered strikes to breach this protective barrier.

The third marvelous function was derived from the Primordial Unity Heavy Water. Within this Azure Lotus Throne of Ren Water lay the profound mysteries of Primordial Unity Heavy Water, capable of refining a cultivator's spiritual power, making it more condensed and substantially enhancing its quality.

These 3 wondrous functions were all quite extraordinary. However, Eldrin had now mastered the profound-level divine ability 'Primordial Chaos Qi', and when driven by his own spiritual power, both his offensive and defensive capabilities rivaled those at the late Earth Immortal stage.

Therefore, the latter 2 wondrous functions held little significance for him. What could truly enhance his strength by a significant margin was the ability to store magical power.

At present, the Ren Shui Qing Lian Tai could store magical power equivalent to that of a first-level Earth Immortal, which could be said to have resolved Eldrin's urgent need.

With this thought, he withdrew the Ren Water Blue Lotus Platform into his dantian and turned his gaze toward the battlefield within Qingchuan Blessed Land.

The 2 sides were still locked in a bitter struggle. The Azure Stream Ancient Sect, relying on the power of their grand formation, continuously fended off the demonic horde's siege, while the demonic horde had already committed their last reserves.
