Chapter 1411 : The Five-Colored Aurora Evasion

The first is its original wondrous function: it can release the light of the Five Elements [the fundamental energies of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth], capable of drawing in treasures of heaven and earth that contain Five Elements essence.

The second transformation, however, was newly created by Eldrin Chen. He named it the Five-Colored Aurora Evasion [a divine evasion technique that transforms the user into a streak of five-colored light].

Once this technique is unleashed, the user's body transforms into a streak of Five-Colored Aurora [a radiant, multi-hued celestial light], instantly traversing beyond the void.

Eldrin Chen emerged from his Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared chamber for undisturbed meditation and cultivation] and tested this evasion art. He found it to be among the supreme Extreme Speed [divine abilities focused on unparalleled velocity] under the heavens.

In an exceedingly brief span of time, Eldrin Chen's evasion speed accelerated to its limit, reaching twenty-five times his maximum normal flight speed.

"Incredibly fast," he murmured.

Eldrin Chen felt a surge of elation. In the many years since his ascension to immortality, he had witnessed numerous secret arts of Divine Ability [supernatural powers attained through advanced cultivation], including Escape Technique Divine Ability [specialized divine abilities for rapid flight or teleportation] of the World-Opening Grade [a supreme tier of power capable of shaping worlds].

Yet, most of these evasion techniques, once activated, typically only increased one's instantaneous flight speed by four or fivefold.

Only a rare few top-tier Escape Technique Divine Ability could achieve a speed multiplier of eight or nine times and above.

To Eldrin Chen's knowledge, even the Escape Technique Divine Ability 'Flowing Fire Starlight Evasion' [an evasion art that merges flowing flame with starlight], wielded by the Master of Flowing Fire Star Palace, could only accelerate one's flight speed fifteenfold.

It is said that the Flowing Fire Starlight Evasion is a genuine-grade Divine Ability [a supernatural technique or power cultivated by immortals]. After being cultivated to perfection and refined to an even higher level, it reached the domain of a half-step Mysterious Grade Divine Ability [a divine ability of the profound and mysterious grade, one of the highest tiers].

Back then, the reason why the Master of Flowing Fire Star Palace managed to escape with his life from the hands of the Western Abyss Dragon King was, by all accounts, primarily due to his reliance on this particular Divine Ability.

Yet, the evasion technique of Eldrin Chen has already surpassed that Flowing Fire Starlight Evasion, which speaks volumes about the formidable power of this Escape Technique Divine Ability [a divine ability specialized in flight and evasion].

"From this perspective, it seems this Five-Colored Aurora Evasion could very well be counted among the most supreme-tier Escape Technique Divine Ability even within the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea," murmured Eldrin Chen to himself, a faint smile flickering across his brow.

Eldrin Chen spoke softly, a trace of a smile unconsciously gracing his features.

Mysterious Grade Divine Ability represent the pinnacle of such techniques within an Immortal Domain [a realm or world inhabited by immortals], surpassed only by the legendary Patriarch Level [a realm associated with founding patriarchs] and the peerless-grade Divine Ability.

As for those peerless-grade Divine Ability, only Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [an immortal sage who has founded a cultivation path] and the most exceptional Quasi-Sage Imperial Lord [an imperial lord on the verge of sagehood] possess the potential to master them.

Patriarch Level Divine Ability are techniques cultivated by beings at the level of Great Encompassing Golden Immortal [a supreme golden immortal realm], and the conditions for mastering such Divine Ability are exceedingly harsh.

Even for those Celestial Immortal Great Power [powerful celestial immortals], achieving mastery over a Mysterious Grade Divine Ability is a task as difficult as scaling the heavens.

Therefore, within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, the most supreme-tier Divine Ability one can commonly encounter is the Mysterious Grade Divine Ability.

Some of the weaker Celestial Immortal Great Power may not even be able to cultivate a Mysterious Grade Divine Ability, which illustrates the formidable power of such abilities.

Eldrin Chen's Five-Colored Divine Light was already a Mysterious Grade Divine Ability. Now, having evolved into the Five-Colored Aurora Evasion, its utility ranks among the most potent even within the Mysterious Grade Divine Ability category.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, while this Five-Colored Divine Light might not claim a top ranking within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, it is very likely the foremost Escape Technique Divine Ability within the Western Essence Divine Abyss Sea.

"The Polarity Void Mirror cannot be used consecutively; it can only serve as a last resort for preserving one's life."

"This Five-Colored Aurora Evasion, however, is the true means for pursuing enemies and making one's own escape."

Contemplating the profound mysteries of the Five-Colored Aurora Evasion, a sense of calm settled within Eldrin Chen's heart.

Currently, his offensive arsenal included the Celestial Abyss Twin Swords, the Infernal Prison War Halberd, and the Primal Radiance Heaven-Entombing Blade. For capture and suppression, he possessed the Primordial One Energy Grasping Hand. His defense relied on the Primordial One Energy True Aura. As for auxiliary Divine Ability, he had the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Now, with the Five-Colored Aurora Evasion for pursuit and flight, supplemented by the life-saving spatial rupture of the Polarity Void Mirror, his array of techniques could truly be considered astonishing.

Reflecting on this, Eldrin Chen assessed, "With my current strength, aside from my spiritual energy reserves not matching a Late Stage Earth Immortal, my other capabilities leave me unafraid of ordinary Eighth Level Earth Immortal."

"As long as I do not encounter those at Earth Immortal Great Perfection or beings who have cultivated three types of World-Opening Foundation, I have no fear whatsoever of ordinary Earth Immortal at the seventh or eighth level."

"Even if I encounter an Earth Immortal Great Perfection [the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm], unless I am trapped in an inescapable dead end, my means of preserving my life are exceedingly potent."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. He had circled the Returning Abyss Sea Region twice before finally returning to Green Chariot Mountain.

Upon returning to his abode, Eldrin Chen found his wives were still in secluded cultivation.

Seeing this, he did not disturb them. He simply waited quietly for them to emerge, while continuing his own cultivation in seclusion upon Green Chariot Mountain. Thus, a full millennium passed in the blink of an eye.

A thousand years later, Exquisite Jiang, Verdant Consort, and the others emerged from their cultivation one after another. Their spiritual foundations and reserves of magical power had all grown significantly.

Furthermore, Lila and Violet Consort Yan had both successfully achieved their World-Opening [the critical breakthrough of opening one's inner world]. With Eldrin Chen's assistance, they had borrowed the Primal Radiance Heaven-Entombing Blade and the Primal Shadow Heaven-Slaying Sword, and aided by External Elixir [a supreme pill that aids in critical breakthroughs], they had both, though not without peril, successfully opened their Ninefold Heaven [the highest tier of inner world, comprising nine celestial layers].

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen smiled warmly. "Congratulations, my loves. Your successful World-Opening means the Great Path [the ultimate Dao of cultivation] lies within your grasp from this day forward."

"It is all thanks to your support and the guidance of my elder sisters,"

Lila replied with a gentle smile, offering a graceful bow of gratitude.

Seeing this, a flicker of profound joy passed through Violet Consort Yan's eyes. In her heart, she understood perfectly that the single most crucial reason she had been able to reach this height was her fortune in being able to follow Eldrin Chen on the path of cultivation.

To this day, she still feels a sense of contentment regarding the decision she made all those years ago.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen retrieved two precious items from his sleeve and presented them to the two women, saying, "Since you have both achieved your breakthrough, consider these gifts as my congratulations."

"Thank you, husband."

Violet Consort Yan smiled with delight and promptly accepted her gift.

The treasures Eldrin Chen bestowed upon the two women were both exceedingly rare and valuable.

The one given to Violet Consort Yan was named the Violet Flame Immortal Furnace, a Mid-Grade World-Opening Treasure [a powerful artifact capable of creating or stabilizing pocket dimensions].

The gift for Lila was the Frost Mist Essence condensed from a Northern Dark Cold Mist Tree, which could be refined into a protective treasure of shifting mist that could gather or disperse at will.

Exquisite Jiang and the others, witnessing this, also offered various gifts of their own.

After the exchange concluded, Exquisite Jiang inquired, "Now that Violet Consort and Lila have successfully ascended, what is your plan for our next course of action, husband?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before replying, "The Great Wasteland Celestial Crocodile Clan does not possess a Spatial Spiritual Treasure [a treasure that manipulates space, like a storage artifact or teleportation device], yet they brought one to ambush us. This suggests there may be a hidden hand manipulating events from behind the scenes."

"What are you implying?"

Verdant Consort furrowed her brow slightly and spoke, "Could it be that the Flowing Fire Star Palace intends to move against us?"

"Impossible," Nyssa Qu shook her head and replied. "The Master of Flowing Fire Star Palace is currently severely wounded, his strength reduced to barely half."

"For him to risk offending both the Glazed Blessed Land and the Western Abyss Immortal Palace by attacking us now is highly improbable."

Eldrin Chen also nodded, a flicker of insight in his eyes. "They dare not risk a direct confrontation with us, but they would certainly dare to covertly support the Great Wasteland Celestial Crocodile Clan."

"By having those Great Wasteland Celestial Crocodile constantly harass us, they not only weaken our forces but also prevent us from cultivating and trading in peace."

"This way, our cultivation progress will be severely hampered, giving him a better chance to find an opportunity to deal with us later."

Hearing this, Exquisite Jiang's beautiful eyes turned cold. "What a sinister scheme."

It was undeniable that the Great Wasteland Celestial Crocodile Clan possessed a World-Opening Treasure with Spatial Attribute properties, granting them first-rate survival capabilities.
