Chapter 1364 : Thrilling Treasure Hunt

As the words fell, Eldrin immediately summoned the 5-Colored Divine Light.

The 5-colored divine light was formless and intangible, coalescing and dispersing at will. It could capture and absorb all things within Heaven and Earth that pertained to the 5 Elements.

Most importantly, the 5-Colored Divine Light fears no heavenly tribulation, capable of piercing through the boundless sea of thunder.

Swipe

But with a light chime, the 5-colored divine light fell upon the 9 Calamities Thunder Fruit.

This 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit, being only at the eighth-tier realm and possessing dual attributes of thunder and wood, naturally could not escape the grasp of the 5-Colored Divine Light. In an instant, it was seized into Eldrin’s hand.

It is done.

After taking the 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit, Eldrin turned his gaze toward the central lightning pool.

At the center of the Thunder Pool, the Myriad Tribulations Sword of the Primordial Thunder Abyss was engulfed in boundless lightning, its faintly revealed edge emanating the power to sever all immortals and deities across the 9 heavens.

As a Celestial Artifact of the Great Ultimate and the sole true treasure nurtured over hundreds of millions of years within the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Abyss, the tribulation lightning contained within this central thunder pool far surpasses that of the 9 Tribulations Thunder Fruit.

Such heavenly tribulation lightning, even a perfected Earth Immortal rashly stepping into it to retrieve the treasure could be reduced to ashes. Eldrin dared not directly touch the tribulation force, immediately channeling the 5-Colored Divine Light to shine upon it, attempting to claim this Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

Alas, under the radiance of the 5-Colored Divine Light, this very Taiyi Immortal Sword remained utterly motionless.

This Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss was originally but a crude piece of iron that, over hundreds of millions of years, endured endless tempering by heavenly tribulations. Etched with the boundless power of thunderous dao principles, its original substance had long been refined away.

Yet now, this immortal sword had become a vessel for the Dao of Thunder within the mortal realm. Its material had long been tempered into a substance neither metal, nor stone, nor jade.

If 1 were to truly give a name to the material of this sword, it would be more fitting to call it "Jade of Dao Principles" or "Stone of the Great Dao."

This is no ordinary jade, nor is it any common stone—it is the very vessel through which the Dao of Thunder manifests in the mortal realm, transcending the cycles of the 5 Elements. "Could even the 5-Colored Divine Light seize such a thing?"

Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly as he fell into contemplative silence.

A moment later, after a brief moment of contemplation, he produced a dazzling piece of Primordial Chaos Bronze.

This Primal Chaos Ancient Bronze was of immense value, a rare treasure gifted to Eldrin by the Ancient Azure Stream Sect. In terms of sturdiness, it ranked among the finest even amidst Heaven-Opening Treasures.

Originally, Eldrin intended to use this item to refine the Earth-Sovereign Emperor Bell. However, if he could obtain this Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, even expending 10 Creation Immortal Treasures would be worth the cost.

Thinking it, Eldrin acted. He immediately tossed the Primordial Chaos Bronze above the Thunder Pond.

Suddenly, a piece of Primordial Chaos Bronze was hurled forth, instantly disrupting the endless sea of lightning within the Thunder Pond. Over 30% of the thunderbolts were drawn to the Primordial Chaos Bronze, while the remaining lightning descended into a state of violent chaos.

"Perfect timing."

Eldrin’s heart stirred, and he struck without hesitation.

He dared not charge over himself, merely urging his Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand to seize the Great Empyrean Immortal Sword.

Yet even the formidable power of the Primordial Chaos Qi Hand was far from sufficient to contend with this boundless sea of thunderbolts.

In the blink of an eye, the Primordial Unity Grasping Hand was shattered to pieces. Yet even so, it had managed to block 30 percent of the thunderbolt's force.

"Now."

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin abruptly soared into the Lightning Pool.

It expanded its Primordial Chaos Qi Barrier to withstand the heavenly tribulation, then with a flick of its sleeve, summoned the Void Mirror, instantly drawing the Taiji Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulation Sword into its grasp.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At that very moment, the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword vanished abruptly, while the Primordial Chaos Bronze was shattered into dust. The boundless power of the heavenly tribulation, having lost its target, erupted into violent chaos.

Throughout the entire 9-Layer Thunder Abyss, the boundless power of the heavenly tribulation suddenly ran wild, striking out violently in all directions.

In an extremely short span of time, Eldrin was struck by a dozen or so heavenly thunder tribulations, instantly sent flying backward. Even his Primordial Chaos Unitary Qi True Aura was shattered.

Fortunately, Eldrin seized the moment, riding the boundless power of the heavenly tribulation to soar toward the eighth layer of the Lightning Abyss, reaching the Eighth Thunder Abyss in an astonishingly short time.

But at this moment, the Thunder Abyss had descended into utter chaos. Endless torrents of lightning energy erupted from the Ninth Layer of Thunder Abyss, violently surging upward through the abyss. The blazing radiance devoured everything in its path.

Eldrin pushed his Primordial Indestructible Body to its limits, desperately soaring upward through the tempest. He finally breached the Sixth Thunder Abyss mere moments before the rampaging heavenly tribulation could engulf him.

"Husband, what has happened to you?"

At this moment, Lyra remained unaware of the truth. Witnessing Eldrin breaking through with severe injuries, she assumed he had been assaulted by a formidable foe. With utmost solemnity, she immediately declared,

"Go, quickly."

Eldrin had no time for further words. He swiftly grabbed Lyra and activated the Yin Yang Void Mirror. In the blink of an eye, they traversed through endless void and arrived beyond the Boundless Sea.

Deep within the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss, endless bolts of lightning raged in a frenzied dance, reducing all in their path to dust.

Before many of the God Race cultivators training within the first 3 layers of the Thunder Abyss could even react, they were instantly reduced to tribulation ashes by the thunderforce. Even that 8-Tribulation Thunder God suffered severe injuries, barely managing to escape with his life by activating an 8th-tier Void Ancient Talisman.

Meanwhile, in the Lingyuan Sea Region, a great battle had already drawn to a close.

Once a flourishing expanse, the Spirit Abyss Sea had now been reduced to ruins, with deities of the heavens clearing the battlefield. The Thunder God of Silent Extinction, whose might had long shaken the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, gazed upon the scene before him, a furrow forming between his brows.

A female deity at the late-stage Earth Immortal realm nearby saw this and immediately asked with a light laugh, "In this battle, we annihilated the Lingyuan Sea Region, and everyone has gained immense rewards."

"My husband, you have even obtained a top-grade Dao Source and are on the verge of establishing your Taiyi Foundation. Why do you still seem so troubled?" The Lord of Silent Thunder shook his head and replied, "For some reason, I cannot shake this ominous premonition."

At this point, the God of Silent Extinction declared, "Pass down my order: clean the battlefield immediately and return with me to the Sea of 10 1000 Calamities Thunder as soon as possible." Just then, a message talisman (Cultivation Tool) flew across the sky.

The God of Silent Extinction took 1 look and immediately revealed an expression of boundless fury.

Without another moment's hesitation, he instantly transformed into a streak of lightning, darting straight into the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea. Much later, from the depths of the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss, a voice of unparalleled fury erupted.

"Ah, you shameless brat!"

"If I ever learn your identity, even if you flee beyond the 3 1000 celestial realms, I shall scatter your soul to the winds!"

In an instant, the boundless fury of thunder and lightning submerged everything.

Beyond the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss, the myriad deities of the 10-1000 Calamity Thunder Sea exchanged bewildered glances, yet none could fathom what had truly transpired. As for the state of mind harbored by the Thunder God of Silent Extinction, Eldrin could well surmise.

At this moment, he and Lyra (Person Name) emerged from the 10 1000 Tribulations Thunder Sea and immediately activated the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) to stealthily make their escape. Within the treasure mirror, Lyra (Person Name) observed Eldrin's (Person Name) injuries and at once sought to administer medicine to Eldrin (Person Name).

Yet Eldrin shook his head, a look of immense joy spreading across his face as he said, "My injuries are nothing serious. I merely need to rest for a short while to recover."

Lyra breathed a sigh of relief at this sight, her gaze instinctively drifting toward the center of the treasure mirror where the Taiyi Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword Dao (Cultivation Method) floated in constant flux. "It seems your journey has yielded remarkable gains indeed."

"Tell me the whole story, from beginning to end."
