Chapter 1362 : 9-Layer Thunder Abyss, Taiyi Immortal Arms
Eldrin's Primordial Immortal Body was exceptionally formidable, capable of neutralizing all manner of aberrant laws and exhibiting remarkable resistance to thunderforce.
An ordinary Earth Immortal at the late stage would likely not last even 1 shichen (2 hours) here before being utterly annihilated. "And this is only the eighth layer of the Thunder Abyss—its power is already this overwhelming."
"If even the ninth level of the Thunder Abyss poses such danger, wouldn't even a Ninth-Level Earth Immortal struggle to protect themselves?" Eldrin murmured inwardly, overwhelmed by astonishment.
He had a feeling that within the ninth layer of the Thunder Abyss, aside from the Silent Thunder God, no deity in the entire 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Sea could set foot there.
For even this eighth layer of the Thunder Abyss was already astonishingly perilous; even a late-stage Earth Immortal who commanded the laws of thunder and lightning would find it difficult to endure here for long.
Eldrin had set foot in this place not only because of the formidable power of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Body, but more importantly, because he had mastered the Law of Life.
Both his Primordial Indestructible Body and Primordial Chaos Laws were of the chaos attribute, capable of eradicating all foreign energies and remaining impervious to suppression by any external laws.
Unless the opponent employed means far surpassing his own cultivation level, such as injuring Eldrin with the power of dao principles, ordinary wounds inflicted by Earth Immortals would leave no lasting repercussions on him.
And without the erosion of foreign energies, no matter how severe his injuries, the Primordial Chaos Life Law could restore him in an instant.
Thus, even though the heavenly lightning within this eighth layer of the Thunder Abyss was potent enough to slay late-stage Earth Immortal elders, it could not completely annihilate Eldrin (Person Name).
Instead, in the process of repeatedly severely injuring Eldrin (Person Name) and his subsequent recoveries, his physical body was tempered into an indestructible form. Throughout this ordeal, the 5 earth veins within Eldrin (Person Name)'s 5 viscera were refined, growing increasingly pure and potent.
In the past, Eldrin had crudely refined the supreme-grade earth vein, forcibly assimilating vast amounts of impure 5-element energies into his 5 viscera.
If Eldrin were to use the power of the Primordial Chaos rules to continuously refine the impure energies within his 5 viscera, it would likely take hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years.
Yet now, under the relentless forging of the heavenly lightning, the countless impurities within those 5 organs were refined and expelled, instantly reduced to scattered ashes of calamity.
Throughout this process, the 5 deities within Eldrin's body grew increasingly flawless, as if 5 primordial beings of absolute purity and sanctity were seated within his organs, their power becoming ever more refined.
In the blink of an eye, 8 100 years had passed in a rush.
8 100 years later, Eldrin finally opened his eyes only when not a trace of impure energy remained within his 5 viscera, having achieved absolute purity.
"The cultivation of Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering has reached perfection."
Opening his eyes, Eldrin sensed the power coursing within him and murmured softly.
He had a sense that the 5 earth veins within his organs, forged relentlessly by the heavenly thunder, had been completely purified of all impurities and chaotic energies, reaching a state of flawless perfection.
Moreover, his physical body's resistance to the power of the heavenly tribulation had significantly increased, and the overall strength of his physique had been greatly enhanced.
At this moment, Eldrin was filled with absolute confidence. Even without relying on external aids, his physical strength alone could contend with a Sixth-Level Earth Immortal elder.
"Since my cultivation has reached completion, it is time to depart." This thought crossed Eldrin's mind as he murmured inwardly.
Yet just before parting, he cast a final glance toward the Ninth Layer of the Thunder Abyss, his eyes flickering with contemplative silence.
Within the eighth layer of the Thunder Abyss, his Body Forging through Heavenly Thunder cultivation had already reached perfection. Even if he were to step into the ninth layer now, it would hold no further use for him.
For his physical form had already been tempered by the heavenly lightning to its absolute limit. Unless he advanced further and stepped into the realm of Earth Immortals, even the most formidable heavenly lightning would no longer bring him greater enhancement.
Instead, the more potent heavenly lightning might very well harm Eldrin’s foundation and severely injure the visceral deities that had only recently taken form within his body.
However, Eldrin was still quite curious about the ninth layer. As the final level of the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Abyss and the cultivation ground of the Silent Thunder God, it was highly likely to contain treasures of immeasurable value.
And within this, there might even be secrets of the 10 1000 Realms Lightning Abyss.
At this thought, Eldrin murmured thoughtfully, "With the Primordial Chaos True Aura protecting my body, combined with my current Indestructible Primordial Chaos Body, I should be able to withstand the ninth-level heavenly tribulation lightning for over a quarter of an hour."
"Let us see what lies within this final level." With these words, Eldrin immediately sprang into action.
Fearing that the ninth heavenly tribulation might prove too overwhelming, Eldrin dared not summon the Yin-Yang Void Mirror. Instead, he channeled the Primordial Chaos Qi to shield himself, then stepped resolutely into the ninth layer of tribulation.
As soon as he stepped into the ninth layer of the Thunder Abyss, Eldrin sensed an overwhelmingly scorching bolt of lightning force surging toward him. In an instant, it struck the Primordial Chaos Unified Qi True Aura, causing it to tremble faintly.
Fortunately, this Mysterious-grade divine ability was truly extraordinary, managing to withstand even the power of the ninth layer of the Thunder Abyss. "Such formidable lightning tribulation power."
Eldrin took a deep breath. The thunderous power of the ninth layer of the Thunder Abyss was comparable to a full-force strike from a late-stage Earth Immortal—even his Primordial Chaos Unity Aura couldn't withstand it for long.
Thinking of this, he dared not delay in the slightest and immediately flew deep into the 9th layer of the Thunder Abyss.
As he ventured deeper into the heart of the storm, the power of the thunder grew increasingly formidable—so overwhelming that even his Primordial Chaos Unification Aura (Cultivation Art) began to falter under its relentless onslaught.
"Such formidable thunder power, this is the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss where lightning is nearly inexhaustible."
"Could it be that the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea is destined to gain a supreme Thunder Tribulation Paradise?" Eldrin's heart trembled with awe, his expression shifting repeatedly.
In such a situation, let alone lasting 15 minutes, even half that time would likely be his absolute limit. Yet having come this far, turning back now would be a true pity.
Eldrin immediately began evading the bolts of lightning while descending toward the depths of the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss. Before he realized it, he had already reached the very bottom.
"Taiji Immortal Weapon, Heaven-Cleaving Ancient Elixir!"
The moment he arrived at the bottom of the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss, Eldrin couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
It turned out that at the bottom of the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss stood a thunder mountain hundreds of zhang high, and atop this mountain were 3 Heavenly Tribulation Pools.
The 3 Lightning Tribulation Pools were all enveloped by endless tribulation lightning, seemingly drawing the surrounding thunderforce toward themselves. This granted Eldrin a rare moment of respite, allowing him to spare some energy to observe these tribulation pools.
But within the lightning tribulation pond on the left stood a 3-foot-tall miniature thunder tree, from which grew a luminous fruit coursing with flowing lightning power.
In the central Lightning Tribulation Pool, a peerless immortal sword wreathed in thunder hovered in flux. Neither stone, jade, nor metal, the blade was being tempered by countless lightning strikes, faintly radiating devastating arcs of thunderous sword radiance.
The Thunder Tribulation Pond on the right, however, stood completely empty, its treasures evidently already claimed.
