Chapter 1323 : The First Aurora of Creation

After reading it, the leader of the Qingchuan Ancient Sect spoke, "The Heaven-Splitting Primordial Light is far too rare. Even after years of accumulation, our Qingchuan Ancient Sect now possesses only 1 Heaven-Splitting Primordial Light."

"The supreme-grade 5 Elements Thunder Origin is even more rare. Within the Western Divine Abyssal Sea, I'm afraid only the 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Domain might yield such a treasure—and we possess none in our grasp."

"There is indeed a piece of Primordial Chaos Bronze that could serve your needs."

At this point, the master of the Qingchuan Ancient Sect handed over the Primordial Bronze and that strand of World-Sundering Primordial Light to Eldrin (Person Name).

This Primordial Bronze of Chaos is a top-grade immortal metal of the earth element, perfectly suited for refining the Loam-Sovereign Bell of Celestial Honor. As for the Primordial Light of Genesis, it was naturally intended for Eldrin (Person Name) to advance his 5-Colored Divine Radiance.

Eldrin had cultivated the 5-Colored Divine Light for many years. His comprehension of this divine ability had already surpassed all ancient and modern sages of the Violet Realm, elevating it into the realm of Mysterious-grade divine arts.

Similar to Primordial Chaos, elevating the 5 Elements Divine Light to the realm of profound mystical arts requires consuming exceptionally rare and precious treasures.

This supreme treasure was none other than the first aurora born between heaven and earth at the dawn of creation.

The Primordial Radiance is a treasure of creation, yet its value ranks among the lowest within this category—roughly equivalent to a supreme-grade immortal artifact, not particularly extravagant.

However, Eldrin's 5-Colored Divine Light required 5 Primordial Splitter Rays, each corresponding to 1 of the 5 elemental attributes.

Such a heaven-defying treasure could only be born at the dawn of creation, its value beyond compare in this world.

Moreover, the nature of the Primordial First Aurora is profoundly connected to the laws governed by the 1 who initiated the creation of the world, as well as the foundational principles upon which the cosmos was established.

In the primordial era when the Solar Sovereign cleaved heaven from earth, a strand of world-sundering primal light of fire attribute was born between the cosmos. This divine radiance was later obtained by Eldrin through an exchange.

The Daoist Tianfeng gave birth to a wind-attributed Primordial Polar Light upon the creation of heaven and earth, yet it could not be harnessed by Eldrin (Person Name).

At this moment, the Primal Chaos Primordial Light presented by the Azure River Ancient Sect was of the wood attribute, making it suitable for Eldrin (Person Name) to utilize.

Eldrin added another measure of Incense Ashing Silver using a supreme-grade immortal treasure, exchanging it for the Primordial Chaos Bronze and a portion of Primordial Genesis Light. He then let out a faint, involuntary sigh.

This Primordial Splendor of Creation was exceedingly rare. To gather the final earth, water, and metal attribute Primordial Splendors of Creation would likely prove immensely challenging.

"I have had people searching for many years, yet there is still no trace. I wonder when the final 3 will be gathered." Eldrin murmured inwardly as he stored away the Primordial Light of Creation and the Primordial Chaos Bronze.

Seeing this, the Ancient Azure Stream Sect pondered briefly before saying, "This Sky-Cleaving Aurora is the very first aurora that appeared when the heavens and earth were first formed."

"Whether infused into immortal swords or used to refine divine abilities, it is an exceptional material, hence its scarcity is quite pronounced. However, after the great calamity concludes, the Western Divine Abyssal Sea is certain to witness numerous newly-ascended Earth Immortals."

After the great calamity concludes, when the first trade assembly of Ryusen Hyakukai is held post-cataclysm, it will undoubtedly be possible to acquire the final 3 Primordial Zenith Lights.

"Thank you for the reminder."

Eldrin nodded slightly and then inquired, "Divine abilities are of secondary importance. What truly matters is the supreme earth vein I require, for it will determine whether my Primordial Chaos True Body can achieve perfection."

"Fellow Daoist, you have trodden the path of cultivation for many years. Do you possess some insight into this matter?"

After a moment of contemplation, the Verdant Stream Ancient Sect spoke, "The Western Divine Abyssal Sea is a realm of water sources. I am familiar with quite a few supreme-grade earth veins of the water attribute."

"Back then, the Great Cang Black Fish Dojo you slaughtered was actually an ultimate-grade water vein. As for the fire-attribute earth veins..."

The master of the Qingchuan Ancient Sect pondered briefly before suddenly remarking, "Why not visit the ruins of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land?"

"That's right, why didn't I think of that?"

A flicker of delight crossed Eldrin’s face as he recalled the past, when the Sky Prison Clan and the Western Abyss Dragon Palace had joined forces to coerce the Flowing Fire Star Palace into joining the tribulation. 2 Earth Immortals at the 8th level had besieged 1000 Streams Daoist together.

After that battle, the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Earthly Immortal Realm collapsed, and the Crimson Sun Blessed Land within it was also destroyed.

After the collapse of the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, the vast Pure Yang Fire Veins scattered throughout the Crimson Sun Sea. Barring unforeseen circumstances, this should be sufficient to nurture new supreme-grade fire veins.

At this thought, Eldrin could no longer afford to delay. He quietly departed the Sea of Returning Abyss and first made his way to the Taicang Sea. There, he discovered that the aquatic vein once occupied by the Taicang Blackfish still remained, though it was now held by a demon immortal at the 9th level of the Ascension Realm.

Eldrin naturally showed no hesitation in this matter. He promptly eliminated it on the spot, then used the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void to seize this supreme-grade water vein.

After completing this step, Eldrin flew toward the Crimson Sun Sea once more.

When he arrived at the Crimson Sun Blessed Land, he discovered a great battle raging across this stretch of sea, with humans and demons contending for control of the maritime territory.

Eldrin had never paid this much mind, for on this battlefield, the strongest commanders from both sides were merely a few experts at the ninth level of Ascension—hardly worthy of drawing Eldrin’s attention.

Yet to his surprise, a rather familiar presence lingered upon this battlefield.

"It's him?"

Meanwhile, a brutal and bloody battle raged on within the Crimson Sun Sea.

The Allied Forces of the Human Race mobilized over a 100 1000 treasure ships of various sizes, clashing with the 100-million-strong demon horde in an endless struggle for control over spirit islands and territories.

Upon a celestial isle, a group of immortals gathered, their expressions turning profoundly grave as they gazed upon the sea ahead.

Among the leading figures, an elder in gray robes coughed, his face pale as he declared, "Honored colleagues, not long ago, Daoist Tianming was slain, and that 9-Headed Hydra seized the opportunity to break through to the Ninth Level of Ascension."

"Now that the balance of power between us has been disrupted, we must consider our retreat." The assembled immortals nearby exchanged bitter smiles at these words.

As early as tens of thousands of years ago, the Crimson Sun Sea Region was still a fairly formidable domain, where human factions reigned supreme.

At that time, the human race in the Crimson Sun Sea possessed several dozen immortals, among whom 3 had reached the Ninth Level of Ascension. Their strength surpassed even that of the Crimson Dragon Sea, the predecessor of the Abyssal Return Sea.

What a pity that during the war in the Crimson Sun Earthly Paradise back then, the entire Crimson Sun Blessed Land exploded, reducing all life in the Crimson Sun Sea to utter devastation.

Of the 3 human cultivators at the Ninth Ascension Realm, 2 had perished in that great calamity.

Then came the Great Cataclysm, and the demonic tribes seized the opportunity to rise. For over 6 1000 years, they have been locked in conflict with the human race. The demonic tribes of the Crimson Sun Sea already possessed 1 Ninth-Level Ascendant Immortal, and during the cataclysm, another source of Ninth-Level Ascendant Immortal emerged, tipping the scales firmly in their favor over the human forces.

That was nothing, however. Not long ago, a half-step Earth Immortal from the demon race arrived from beyond the seas and intervened in this battlefield.

The human race was caught completely off guard. In the great battle, a cultivator at the Eighth Level of Ascension was slain, and his Dao Origin was seized by the 9-Headed Hydra Dragon of the demon race.

Seizing the opportunity, the 9-Headed Hydra Dragon broke through to the 9th Layer of Ascension. The ratio of 9th Layer cultivators on both sides now stood at 3 to 1, and the demon race had gained another Half-Step Earth Immortal. It was clear the battlefield had tipped completely out of balance.
