Chapter 1427 : Sealing the Void Rift

"This fissure."

Eldrin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, observing the crack for a long while before speaking thoughtfully, "If we can enter the Yin Plane Microcosm [a small, self-contained universe aligned with Yin energy], can the powerful beings within it emerge from it?"

"That is also my concern."

Sky Abyss Daoist spoke, his expression gravely serious. "If we fail to completely pacify the Yin Plane Microcosm, the powerful beings inside could very well fight their way out. That would likely become a significant problem."

Ancient Ruins Yin Lord, however, was well-prepared. He smiled and said, "Over these years, I have infiltrated the Yin Plane Microcosm three times to investigate the situation."

"Currently, within the Yin Plane Microcosm, the Heavenly Dao [the supreme natural order and law of the cosmos] has collapsed. Most of the entities who once held its authority have perished. There are no supreme powerhouses of the Taiyi Realm [a profound cultivation realm] left."

"As long as we seal the Void Rift [a tear in the fabric of space] with a Spatial Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact capable of manipulating space], it will be utterly impossible for them to fight their way across." Hearing this, Eldrin Chen finally nodded in agreement.

To set foot into a Minor Universe [a smaller, self-contained cosmos], one must tear through its cosmic membrane. This is a feat not easily accomplished, even for a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a pinnacle-level Heavenly Immortal].

This is because every Minor Universe possesses a Heavenly Dao, whose power rivals or even surpasses that of a Heavenly Immortal Paragon. Without capabilities at the level of a Heaven Immortal [a foundational immortal realm], it is fundamentally impossible.

However, the Heavenly Dao of this Yin Plane Microcosm has already crumbled. Consequently, spatial fissures have appeared upon its cosmic membrane, granting them this opportunity to venture inside. Continue your cultivation journey at (audio-novel.com).

At present, this fissure is not large. As long as they seal the rift with a space-attribute World-Opening Treasure [a rare treasure capable of stabilizing or creating spatial boundaries], the enemy would find it impossible to breach through.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke: "Then let us first enter and investigate. If the situation proves untenable, we can always retreat and reconsider."

As he spoke, he was the first to step into the Minor Universe [a self-contained, smaller dimensional realm]. Seeing this, the others followed closely behind, entering the Yin Plane Microcosm [a minor universe aligned with Yin, the passive, dark, and feminine principle].

"Such dense tribulation energy [a malevolent and destructive force associated with cosmic calamities and heavenly punishments]."

The moment he stepped into the Yin Plane Microcosm, Eldrin Chen sensed the fundamental differences between this Minor Universe and the Immortal Domain [the primary realm of immortals].

Within this Yin Plane Microcosm, an endless, pervasive tribulation energy emanated. The Void [the formless, empty space between dimensions] was riddled with Void Rift [tears in the fabric of reality]. These fissures mostly connected to the profound depths of infinite dimensions, brimming with terrifying Chaos Qi [the primordial, unordered energy that existed before creation]. Even a powerhouse at the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm [a realm just below that of a true Celestial Immortal] would likely meet their end if they ventured into such places.

"Be careful. Do not step into the fissures."

Ancient Ruins Yin Lord spoke, his expression grave. "These rifts pierce through the boundless dimensions. Without strength at the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of a true Celestial Immortal], anyone who enters would surely perish within the turbulent currents of the Void and the Primordial Chaos [the state of undifferentiated matter and energy before the cosmos formed]."

"Understood."

Eldrin Chen gave a nod. While activating the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a treasure that creates a protective domain balancing Yin and Yang forces] to shield the group, he surveyed the vast expanse of the Yin Plane Microcosm. This Yin Plane Microcosm was not overly large, yet it was by no means small either.

Its diameter spanned roughly thirty million light-years, containing nearly one hundred Ronan systems. Yet, the most central Ronan system was ten times more vast than the combined size of those nearly one hundred smaller systems.

Within the current Yin Plane Microcosm [the dark, spiritual reflection of the material cosmos], apart from the grand central Ronan system, the remaining minor Ronan systems had already been devoured by the rifts of the Endless Void. Reaching them would be no easy feat.

Of course, this largest Ronan system was the very heart of the Yin Plane Microcosm, and the very location of the Netherworld Yin Court [the governing court of the underworld].

Yet, a pity it was, for this place was the Yin Plane Microcosm. Its boundless dark stars were merely the other side, the shadow, of the Yang Plane Microcosm [the luminous, material reflection of the cosmos].

To harvest the endless stars for refining the Galaxy Star-Sand Pill [an elixir forged from the essence of celestial bodies], one would have to start from the Yang Plane Microcosm.

At this thought, the Ancient Ruins Yin Lord cautioned, "The so-called Yin Plane Microcosm and the Yang Plane Microcosm are two sides of the same coin. Logically, if we attack the Yin Plane Microcosm, the beings of the Yang Plane Microcosm will surely sense it."

"Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao [the supreme natural order and cosmic law] of the Yin Plane Microcosm has now collapsed. The passages bridging the Yin-Yang [the dualistic cosmic forces of dark and light] realms have crumbled as well, making it difficult for those from the Yang Plane Microcosm to cross over."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. The Yin Plane Microcosm had become an exceedingly perilous ruin. Even if the passages were somehow restored, the denizens of the Yang Plane Microcosm might not be inclined to venture here.

With this understanding, Eldrin Chen acted to conceal the aura emanating from the spatial rift. "In that case," he declared, "let us proceed and investigate."

As his words faded, the group set their course towards the nearest Ronan system.

As they journeyed onward, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord began to recount detailed intelligence regarding the Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature universe governed by the principles of Yin, the passive, dark, and feminine force]. Through his narration, Eldrin Chen gained a foundational understanding of this realm.

Within this Yin Plane Microcosm, at its zenith, there were nearly a thousand Netherworld Ghost Progenitor [powerful ancestral spirits who have attained a profound level of cultivation within the Netherworld], who jointly governed this miniature universe.

The strength of these Netherworld Ghost Progenitor varied, with the mightiest among them being the three Netherworld Imperial Lord [supreme sovereigns who rule over vast domains within the Netherworld].

These three Netherworld Imperial Lord were named the 'Stygian River Imperial Lord', the 'Lethe Imperial Lord', and the 'Abyssal Sea Imperial Lord'. They were the supreme rulers of the Yin Plane Microcosm.

It is said that at their peak, these three Netherworld Imperial Lord had all cultivated a Primordial Foundation [the most perfect and stable foundational stage of cultivation, granting immense potential], and each wielded one of three supreme treasures: the 'River of Lethe' [the mythical river of oblivion], the 'Stygian River Sword' [a divine sword forged from the essence of the Stygian River], and the 'Abyssal Sea Pearl' [a pearl containing the boundless power of the abyssal seas].

"These three treasures are all Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [legendary artifacts of world-shaping power, said to have existed since the dawn of creation]. It is said they were born from the endless Netherworld Origin [the primordial essence from which the Netherworld was formed] at the very inception of this Minor Universe [a self-contained cosmos smaller than the main universe]," Ancient Ruins Yin Lord explained. The story continues at audio novel.com.

At this point, Ancient Ruins Yin Lord paused briefly before continuing, "When the Heavenly Dao [the fundamental natural order and cosmic law] of the Yin Plane Microcosm collapsed, the three Netherworld Imperial Lord who held its authority perished."

"Of the three treasures, the River of Lethe retreated into the location of the Primordial Source [the origin point of all spiritual energy and existence within a realm] within the Yin Plane Microcosm. The Stygian River Sword was taken away by the supreme powerhouse of the Yang Plane Microcosm [the counterpart miniature universe governed by Yang, the active, light, and masculine force]. Only the Abyssal Sea Pearl remains within the Yin Plane Microcosm."

"The entity we must face this time is precisely this Netherworld Supreme Treasure."

Eldrin Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this. His gaze turned toward the vast Ronan system before them, and a flicker of movement passed through his eyes.

A single supreme treasure of the World-Opening Supreme Treasure Grade [the highest known grade of magical artifact] is not something they could easily contend with. Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen spoke: "Proceed with caution. Let us see if we can catch them off guard."

Although the Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature realm governed by Yin energy] was vast, its spatial suppression was not overwhelming. The group traversed through the Void [a mystical technique for spatial travel], and before long, they arrived at the periphery of the Netherworld Galaxy [a starry domain suffused with ghostly and Yin energies].

They infiltrated deep into the Netherworld Galaxy, swiftly making their way towards its heart.

After another round of reconnaissance, Eldrin Chen stated gravely, "Within this Netherworld Galaxy, I fear there are still close to one hundred Netherworld Ghost Progenitor [powerful Earth Immortal-level ghost cultivators]."

"We must act with decisive speed. If we cannot seize the Abyssal Sea Pearl [a legendary pearl of immense power] swiftly, this battle will likely end in our retreat." Their expressions were uniformly grim. Utilizing the power of the Yin-Yang Void Realm [a treasure that conceals its users within the fabric of space], they concealed themselves within the Void and advanced towards the depths of the Netherworld Galaxy.

After an immeasurable time, they reached the heart of the Netherworld Region [the central domain of the Netherworld Galaxy]. There, they beheld a majestic Yin Court [a palace or seat of power in the Yin realm] floating solemnly within the Endless Void [the boundless, empty space between realms].

They could keenly sense that within this Yin Court resided several dozen beings of imposing aura. Among them, three had even reached the Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle stage of the Earth Immortal realm].

Witnessing this, Sky Abyss Daoist could not help but ask, "Several dozen Ghost Immortal [immortals who cultivate the ghostly path] at the Earth Immortal Realm [the realm of an Earthly Immortal]. Are you confident we can prevail?" Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at audio-novel . com.
