Chapter 1386 : The Great Calamity Subsides

In the great siege of the Western Abyss Dragon Palace that year, the God of Silent Extinction struck down the mightiest warrior of the Golden-Winged Heaven Ape clan, along with 10 Earth Immortal elders, decimating nearly half of their high-ranking experts.

Such deep-seated enmity naturally made the Golden-Winged Sky Ape harbor bitter hatred toward the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea.

The deity currently besieged by them was a Thunder Deity from the 10 1000 Calamities Thunder Sea lineage.

Eldrin had encountered this Thunder Deity before. Back when Eldrin infiltrated the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss, this Thunder Deity was still an 8-Calamity Deity. To avoid alerting the Extinction Thunder God, Eldrin had refrained from taking action against him.

Later, when the cataclysm erupted in the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss, the Thunder Deity suffered devastating injuries. Fortunately, as a follower of the Annihilating Thunder God—a Half-Step Celestial Immortal—it recovered from its wounds before long under this mighty being’s patronage.

Soon after, to bolster this Thunder Spirit, the God of Silent Extinction personally took action against the Golden-Winged Sky Ape lineage. He slaughtered over a dozen Earth Immortal ancestors of their bloodline and even obtained an 8-Calamity Dao Origin.

With this 8 Calamity Dao Source, the Thunder God stepped into the 9 Calamities Realm. Not long after, he broke through to the Earth Immortal stage and opened 8 layers of heaven and earth.

Alas, the prosperity was short-lived. Not long after, the Dragon King of the Western Abyss broke through to the Heavenly Immortal realm, and the situation took a drastic turn for the worse. After the great war that year, the Thunder God of Annihilation was severely wounded and vanished without a trace—clearly having gone into hiding within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

Even the Thunder Tribulation Deity could only evade, stealthily slipping into the boundless sea. Yet somehow, it was discovered by the Golden-Winged Celestial Ape Clan.

"Perhaps it's because the Thunder Deity holds some rare treasure that has been marked with a tracking spell?" Eldrin murmured inwardly, roughly deducing the reason the Thunder Tribulation Deity had been located.

In fact, it is common practice for immortals to leave tracking methods on important treasures.

In previous years, Eldrin had seized 2 Heavenly Spiritual Roots, both of which bore tracking runes left by the Great Desolate Heavenly Crocodile Clan.

Fortunately, Eldrin's Primordial Chaos Rules of the Ultimate were extraordinary, capable of eradicating all manner of aberrant rule patterns, and had long since obliterated the tracking runes.

Even so, Eldrin had spent these years constantly shifting locations, wandering throughout the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea to avoid being tracked down through extraordinary means by the Dark Roc and the Great Desolate Heavenly Crocodile.

At this moment, the Thunder Deity found its path blocked—it most likely carried some treasure marked with the tracking runes of the Golden-Winged Celestial Ape lineage. "It seems this Thunder Deity is doomed to face its tribulation."

Witnessing the great battle before him, Eldrin murmured inwardly, yet showed no intention of intervening immediately.

The Dao Origin of this Thunder Deity was exceptionally precious, enough to help Qing Ji break through to the 10 Tribulations realm. However, Eldrin (Person Name) was in no hurry at the moment. With his enemies exposed in the open while he remained hidden in the shadows, he only needed to seize the Dao Origin at the critical moment.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin remained hidden within the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, quietly awaiting the outcome of the great battle. On the battlefield, the situation for the Thunder Tribulation Deity had grown increasingly precarious. With only the early-stage Earth Immortal realm cultivation, confronting 5 Earth Immortal Patriarchs—1 of whom had even reached the late-stage Earth Immortal realm—was nearly an impossible feat.

After all, 2 fists are no match for 4 hands. Even as he continuously activated all manner of rare treasures to defend himself, he was still steadily forced into retreat.

The great battle raged for several days, until the Thunder Deity could hold out no longer. With 1 final blow, it was utterly vanquished, reduced to a vast expanse of scattered tribulation ashes. In that fleeting moment, the light of Dao dissolution flooded heaven and earth, as a dazzlingly brilliant Dao Origin slowly materialized.

"Hahaha, 10 1000 Tribulations Lightning Sea, we’ve finally reclaimed a fraction of what we are owed."

Witnessing this scene, the several Earth Immortals of the demon clan chuckled heartily, their expressions revealing a hint of pleasant surprise.

Yet at that very moment, ripples stirred in the void as an ancient mirror materialized, drawing the Dao Origin into its surface. A brilliant spatial distortion bloomed forth, and the mirror vanished into imperceptibility.

Witnessing this scene, the several earth immortals of the demon race were momentarily stunned before snapping back to their senses and exclaiming in shock, "Who dares to steal prey from the tiger’s mouth?"

At the same time, the Yin Yang Void Mirror manifested beyond the boundless void. Eldrin (Person Name) plunged headfirst into the sea domain, gazing at the Dao Origin in his hand as an involuntary smile crept across his face.

Once more, he sensed the profound mystery of the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure).

This time, he had seized the Dao Origin using the Yin-Yang Void Mirror. Without even showing his face from start to finish, he had already obtained the greatest reward of this grand conflict.

Having obtained the priceless Dao Origin, Eldrin decided to quit while he was ahead, focusing henceforth on ensuring his own safety. Concealing his presence along the way, he journeyed toward the direction of the Returning Abyss Sea. In the blink of an eye, 1 1000 years had passed.

By the time Eldrin returned to the fringes of the Abyssal Sea, the calamitous energies between heaven and earth had noticeably thinned—the great tribulation was finally receding.

Witnessing this, Eldrin concealed himself beyond the Sea of Returning Abyss for nearly a century. Only when the aura of the great tribulation had completely dissipated did he finally return to the depths of the Sea of Returning Abyss.

After returning to the Sea of Returning Abyss, gazing at the purified energy between heaven and earth and the surging immortal spiritual energy, Eldrin sighed: "30 1000 years have passed in the blink of an eye. The great calamity has finally ended."

Meanwhile, Lyra (Person Name), Seiki (Person Name), and the others had already returned.

They stood beside Eldrin, sighing involuntarily as they remarked, "Since the onset of this tribulation, the landscape of the Western Mist Divine Abyss Sea has undergone a profound transformation." "Mmm."

Eldrin nodded, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Since the Great Calamity, everything has come to an end, and the power dynamics among humans, demons, and gods have undergone a drastic transformation.

As early as 5 100 years ago, the Western Abyss Dragon Palace had breached the defenses of Ye Xu Divine Sea, completely obliterating this supreme blessed paradise in a single decisive campaign.

That Lord Ye Xu was outmatched by half a move, and it was said he had undergone corporeal dissipation to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Even his supreme treasure, the Taiyi Xu Tian Sword, was seized by the Western Abyss Dragon Palace.

After obliterating the Divine Sea of Ye Ruins, the Western Abyss Dragon Palace plundered over half of its resources.

Then, using the Primordial Ruins Heaven Sword and the Triad Wonder Pearls as foundations, he laid down a world-shaking grand formation at the Western Abyss Dragon Palace, ultimately condensing a supreme True Dragon Paradise.

This realm was known as the 'Celestial Dragon Grotto-Heaven,' the second True Dragon Grotto-Heaven within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

At this thought, Eldrin sighed deeply, "With the emergence of a True Dragon Cave Heaven, the balance of power in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea has been completely overturned." Lyra nodded, her expression grave as she replied, "We've annihilated 1000 Dragon Lake. Do you think they'll come seeking revenge?"

"I share your concern," Eldrin nodded, his expression turning grave. "That is precisely why I intend to visit the Glazed Paradise and seek audience with the Glazed Divine Sovereign."

Yan Zi also gave a slight nod before speaking, "Xian Dao serves in the Celestial Court, and his master, the True Monarch of Heaven's Halberd Who Slays Demons, reigns as the lord of the Western Abyss Immortal Palace. I shall send him a letter."

"Very well."

Eldrin nodded, then retrieved 3 Dao Origins from his sleeve and presented them to Aoi, Yanziji, and Lila respectively. "This journey has yielded me considerable gains," he said.

"You should first refine these rare artifacts and see if they can fulfill your aspirations." The women couldn't help but feel startled upon hearing this.

High-quality Dao Origins were exceptionally rare. They never imagined that Eldrin (Person Name) could produce, in 1 go, 2 8-Calamity Dao Origins and 1 9-Calamity Dao Origin.
