Chapter 1357 : Journey to the Eternal Thunder Sea
"Very well."
The immortals nodded in unison, their faces blossoming into smiles.
With the Celestial Prison Clan gone, the current strength of the Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance should leave no rivals for them within the 100 Streams Sea.
After the council concluded, the immortals departed 1 after another.
Eldrin led Lyra, Qing Ji, Lila, and Yan Zi Ji into the cavern abode.
Looking at the group, Eldrin said directly, "Now that the most dangerous hurdle has passed, I intend to venture into the 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Sea to see if I can achieve perfection in the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body."
Upon hearing this, the women couldn't help but feel slightly taken aback.
Qing Ji was quite worried about this and couldn't help saying, "Traveling far during the great tribulation is bound to be fraught with unpredictable dangers. Why don't we go with you?"
Eldrin pondered briefly before speaking, "The perils of this journey remain unknown. Lyra and I shall go alone."
"You shall remain within the Sea of Returning Abyss to preside over the Cosmic Starfall Grand Array."
Upon hearing this, Qing Ji (Person Name) couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
She understood that Eldrin made a valid point—whether it was the master of the Azure River Ancient Sect or the Abyssal Daoist, no matter how close they seemed, they were ultimately outsiders.
Within the vast expanse of the Emberveil Depths, a realm of profound mysteries and boundless dangers, the need for a trusted confidant to oversee its affairs had become paramount.
At this thought, she still took a map and handed it to Eldrin, then said.
"This is a map of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea, containing information about several wind-attributed and ice-attributed forbidden lands. It may offer some assistance to your cultivation."
Eldrin nodded with a gentle smile and said, "Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated, my lady."
After obtaining the map, Eldrin did not delay any further and departed from the territory of the Lord of the Return Abyss Sea that very day.
This time, he traveled alongside Lyra (Person Name), activating the Yin Yang Void Mirror to traverse through voids along the journey. Each crossing carried them across a vast stretch of distant sea.
At its current level, the Yin Yang Void Mirror could not be activated consecutively. Each time Eldrin (Person Name) wielded this treasure, it required a full day of nurturing.
During this time, Eldrin nurtured the Void Mirror while restoring his magical power, while Lyra piloted the celestial vessel, carrying him toward the 100 Tribulations Thunder Sea.
Thus, the 2 cooperated seamlessly, traversing the boundless expanse of heaven and earth in an astonishingly brief span of time.
"Just 1 more sea ahead lies the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea."
That day, Eldrin activated the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to traverse the boundless void, arriving amidst a vast and desolate expanse of sea.
He glanced at the map, then revealed a faint smile.
The Sea of Returning Ruins and the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea were separated by an unimaginable distance. An ordinary immortal would require at least 1 100 years of flight to traverse it. Even for someone of Eldrin's combat prowess, the journey would demand no less than 10 years.
Yet with the aid of the Yin-Yang Void Mirror, he had flown for merely 1 year before nearing the 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Sea.
Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) also breathed a slight sigh of relief. Gazing at the expanse of sea before them, she remarked, "The 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea is a notorious forbidden zone, filled with immeasurable dangers."
"Let us rest here for a while and recover our spiritual power before entering."
Eldrin gave a slight nod, then gazed at the sea before him with a smile. "This place is called the Celestial Glaze Sea. Within it lies the Celestial Glaze Sect, with whom I've had dealings in the past."
"Let us rest at the Tianli Market, and perhaps we may encounter old acquaintances along the way."
With that, Eldrin (Person Name) headed deeper into the Sky Glaze Sea and soon arrived at the location of the Sky Glaze Market.
However, upon arriving at the Celestial Glaze Market, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow.
Yet before his eyes, the entire Skyglaze Market had been utterly shattered. Every cultivator and mortal within had already fallen, and even the immortals had perished in the great cataclysm.
Seeing this, Eldrin sighed and said, "The Heavenly Glaze Immortal Market has already been plundered. Who knows if the Heavenly Glaze Sect still stands."
"Whether he's there or not, I'll go check it out first."
The 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea lay before him, yet Eldrin was in no hurry to enter. Instead, he soared directly toward the 5 Thunder Immortal Isle, intending to gather intelligence before making his next move.
Before he had flown far, he discovered countless treasure ships besieging the Skyglaze Grand Formation at the heart of the Skyglaze Sea.
Beyond the grand formation stood 5 majestic figures, all at the half-step Earth Immortal realm.
"It is the race of divine spirits."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, a flicker of astonishment passing through his gaze. The forces assaulting 5 Thunder Immortal Island belonged to the Divine Race, with the 5 leaders among them being half-step Earth Immortal-level deities.
Apart from this, there were over a 100 deities and countless divine descendants.
At this thought, Eldrin exchanged a glance with Lyra before speaking, "The Sky Glaze Immortal Sect once sold me a batch of 5 Elements Thunder Sources. I suppose we share some degree of connection."
"Seeing as we are all fellow humans, let us lend a hand."
"Agreed!"
Lyra nodded and instantly transformed into a stream of light, darting away. In that fleeting moment, the 2 moved with flawless synergy, striking at 2 of the Half-Step Earth Immortals.
The 2 of them had now reached the threshold of the seventh-level Earth Immortal realm. With a surprise attack, they could strike down even an Earth Immortal Patriarch in a single blow, let alone a few Half-Step Earth Immortals.
In the blink of an eye, Eldrin cleaved a Half-Step Earth Immortal with overwhelming force, while Lyra eliminated another in the fleeting space between lightning and flame.
"Not good!"
In the blink of an eye, 2 Half-Step Earth Immortals had fallen. The remaining few wore expressions of sheer terror, scrambling to flee into the distance—but it was already too late.
In the blink of an eye, Eldrin summoned the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand, instantly suppressing a Half-Step Earth Immortal. With another motion, he unleashed the Profound Sun Heaven-Severing Saber, cleaving another adversary in 2.
The last opponent also proved no match for Lyra (Person Name), who summoned the Profound Yin Heaven-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure) and struck him down with a single blow amidst the void.
From beginning to end, these 5 Half-Step Earth Immortal experts could not withstand a single move from the 2 of them.
Hah
After slaying 5 Half-Step Earth Immortals, Eldrin (Person Name) let out a slight sigh of relief. He collected their spirit treasures and Dao Origins before turning his gaze back to the battlefield.
At that very moment, the Sky Glaze Sect seized the opportunity. A powerhouse at the half-step Earth Immortal realm swiftly took action, leading dozens of immortals in a fierce assault against the divine army.
"Since we're helping, we might as well do it properly."
Eldrin murmured under his breath, then immediately took action—using his superior power to crush the weaker. In but a moment, he had slaughtered nearly every 1 of the over 100 deities trapped within.
After slaughtering this group of deities, the Quasi-Terrestrial Immortal from the Celestial Li Sect finally approached, bowing to the 2 with profound excitement.
"Many thanks to you 2 Seniors for lending a hand and saving our lives."
"We are both of the human race, no need for formalities."
Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod before turning his gaze to the celestial assembly of the Heavenly Glaze Immortal Sect. A faint smile graced his lips as he spoke, "Daoist Jiang (Person Name), it has been quite some time. I trust you have been well?"
Amidst the crowd, Jiang Huangyi froze momentarily. When her gaze fell upon Eldrin, a flicker of bewilderment first surfaced in her eyes, soon replaced by a wave of astonishment.
Seeing this, Patriarch Tianli couldn't help but inquire, "Senior, you actually recognize the Grand Elder?"
"We've only met twice."
Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment, only to see the woman in ginger-yellow robes swiftly bow in respect. "To think that in just 20 1000 years, Senior has already built such a profound foundation. This humble 1 nearly mistook you for someone else."
