Chapter 1493 : Tempering the Primordial Chaos Body

Heavenly Sword Peak [a legendary mountain shaped like a celestial blade], also known as the Celestial Sword's Beacon.

This peak stands like a colossal Immortal Sword [a divine weapon of immense power], tempered by countless millions of years of celestial lightning. It is one of the premier locations within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [a vast and perilous sea realm] for body tempering and physical cultivation.

Gazing upon the Heavenly Sword Peak, Zixuan the Daoist stroked his beard with pride and declared, "My Heavenly Sword Peak allows one to bathe in endless lightning to temper the body. It rivals even the famed Ninefold Thunder Abyss [a legendary abyss of ninefold thunder]."

"In the past, my own Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Physique [a rare and powerful body constitution attuned to divine thunder] was perfected to its grand completion precisely through the power of this peak." "I have no doubt that tempering your body here will allow you to achieve the grand completion of your physical form."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement and praised, "With the aid of this peak, my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a supreme body constitution of unyielding chaos] finally has the opportunity to advance to the next level."

With those words, Eldrin Chen clasped his hands in a respectful salute to the others, then strode forward to ascend to the very summit of the Heavenly Sword Peak.

The moment he set foot upon the peak's zenith, Eldrin Chen was assaulted by a torrent of powerful lightning.

A force of thunderous energy, supremely potent, crashed against his physical form. The impact was so intense it sent a faint, tingling numbness through even his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.

"The power of that single strike rivals that of a Late Stage Earth Immortal [a cultivator who has reached the advanced stage of the Earth Immortal realm]," Eldrin murmured inwardly.

Eldrin Chen felt, with each pulse of lightning tempering him, the previously somewhat unstable foundations of his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body gradually condensing and solidifying. Read, share, and discuss at audio‑novel.com.

After refining a vast quantity of resources, the Five Divine Spirits within the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a supreme physique said to be as unyielding as the primordial chaos before creation] possessed increasingly abundant power, yet it appeared somewhat unstable and unsubstantial due to its rapid growth.

Now, subjected to the relentless hammering of the thunder, it was akin to a piece of immortal iron being forged under heavenly lightning, becoming ever more resilient and tempered without notice.

Thus, time flowed swiftly by. Bathed within the boundless sea of thunder, Eldrin Chen passed thirty-three thousand years in what seemed like a single moment. Until one day, amidst the searing flashes of lightning, Eldrin Chen finally, slowly, opened his eyes.

"BOOM!"

A majestic bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder [a supreme heavenly tribulation lightning] crashed down, striking Eldrin Chen's physical form as if shattering some unseen bottleneck.

An intangible barrier was shattered. Eldrin Chen felt as if his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had broken through a certain ultimate limit, undergoing a metamorphosis to become as indestructible and eternal as ancient gold from the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state of existence before the cosmos was born].

"The Great Perfection of the World-Opening True Body [the ultimate stage of a physique capable of withstanding the forces of creation]!"

Eldrin Chen murmured, a flicker of profound satisfaction lighting his eyes.

At this moment, a faint, primordial golden radiance shimmered across his flesh. He endured the endless torrent of Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering [a method of using heavenly tribulation lightning to refine and strengthen the physical body] without suffering the slightest injury.

He could perceive with absolute clarity that his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had reached its absolute zenith within this realm. To advance any further would require stepping into the Taiyi Realm [the realm of the Grand Unity, a legendary stage of cultivation].

The power contained within the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body at its Great Perfection stage was of an unprecedented and astonishing magnitude.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, from now on, I should be able to contend against three Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivators relying solely on physical strength. Without activating the Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure or my Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated by an Earth Immortal], my combat prowess should be on par with Zixuan the Daoist.

If I were to add the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron and my own Mana into the equation, it is estimated that even an Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivator from the Eighth Heaven realm, wielding a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, would likely be no match for me.

"Separated Flame Deity opened up the Ninefold Heavens and commands the Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure 'Separated Flame Heaven Lantern'. I wonder how my current combat strength compares to his?"

Eldrin Chen pondered silently. After achieving Great Perfection in the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, his physical form had become flawless and leak-proof, essentially placing him on the path of Fleshly Body Sanctification at the level of a Late Stage Earth Immortal. It was just that his Mana and Earth Immortal World [the inner world cultivated by an Earth Immortal] had not yet reached completion.

Setting aside the Earth Immortal World and Mana, the gap in true cultivation realm between him and Separated Flame Deity was actually not that vast anymore.

Based on the information he knew, an existence like Zixuan the Daoist, who had opened up the Eighth Heaven, was capable of fighting one against two and defeating three Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivators.

An Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivator from the Ninefold Heavens was somewhat stronger. However, since both were built upon three Heaven-Opening Foundation [the foundational act of opening one's inner heavens], there was no qualitative leap in their combat power. According to the common consensus within the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, the true combat strength of a Ninefold Heavens Earth Immortal Great Perfection should be comparable to that of four ordinary Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivators.

Separated Flame Deity had once stepped into the Forbidden Realm [a legendary state beyond the standard cultivation realms]. His combat prowess was likely half a step stronger than an ordinary Ninefold Heavens cultivator, estimated to rival five Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivators.

With such power, augmented by the Separated Flame Heaven Lantern, a genuine Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, Separated Flame Deity's true combat strength would be equivalent to at least eight Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivators.

According to Eldrin Chen's understanding, even the weakest Sixfold Heavens Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator who has transcended the Earth Immortal realm but not yet fully ascended to true Celestial Immortality], upon forging a single Primordial Foundation [the foundational Dao core of a Half-Step Celestial Immortal], would undergo an unprecedented qualitative transformation in combat power.

To contend with such a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, at least ten Earth Immortal Great Perfection [cultivators at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm] would need to join forces to barely stand a chance. "The strength of Separated Flame Deity is comparable to more than half of a Taiyi [the first major realm of true Celestial Immortals] realm powerhouse."

"With my current strength, augmented by the Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure [a legendary artifact of immense power], I could likely match the combined force of six Earth Immortal Great Perfection. There remains a gap compared to him, but I should now possess the capability to engage in battle."

Eldrin Chen mused inwardly. He understood that while his physical body was formidable, his Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to power divine abilities and techniques] and combat techniques were still somewhat lacking. His Profound Grade Divine Ability [a supreme-level mystical technique] was powerful, yet it had not reached the Great Perfection Realm [the ultimate mastery of a technique or cultivation stage]. Facing Separated Flame Deity with this would still leave him at a disadvantage.

With these thoughts settling, Eldrin Chen gradually reined in his contemplations and descended from the summit of Heavenly Sword Peak. Zixuan the Daoist had been waiting for some time. Upon seeing him emerge from seclusion, Zixuan could not help but scrutinize him with a keen eye.

In but an instant, Zixuan the Daoist faintly sensed an immense pressure emanating from Eldrin. With a note of astonishment, he remarked, "Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator], your World-Opening True Body [a supreme body-refining technique] has reached Great Completion. It seems henceforth, even an ordinary Half-Step Celestial Immortal would find it difficult to restrain you." Dive deeper into the Dao at audio - novel . com.

"You flatter me. Compared to a true Taiyi realm powerhouse, I am still far from sufficient,"

Eldrin Chen shook his head, then smiled and clasped his hands in salute. "This advancement in my cultivation was only possible thanks to Fellow Daoist's willingness to assist." "Between us, such formalities are unnecessary."

Zixuan the Daoist offered a gentle smile, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

After a brief exchange, Eldrin Chen inquired further, "By my reckoning, there are still over ten thousand years before you, Fellow Daoist, attempt your breakthrough into the Taiyi Realm. How are your preparations proceeding?"

"All preparations are complete; we only await Fellow Daoist's ancient cauldron to enter the formation." Zixuan the Daoist spoke slowly, a look of solemn gravity appearing on his face.

The reason he had invited Eldrin Chen to assist in his attempt to break through to the Taiyi Realm [the Taiyi Realm, a profound stage of cultivation representing the unity of heaven and earth] was not only due to Eldrin Chen's formidable combat prowess, but also because of the Heaven-Opening Ancient Cauldron [a legendary magical treasure of immense power] in his possession.

Whether it was the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron or the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron, as long as one could be used to set up a grand formation, then combined with the Supreme Grade Earth Vein [a supreme-grade spiritual energy vein of exceptional purity and power] of this Zixuan Abode of Bliss, the unleashed power would be sufficient to withstand attacks from a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator who has taken half a step into the realm of Celestial Immortals].

Eldrin Chen also understood this. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Fellow Daoist aided me last time; naturally, I will assist with my full strength this time."

"I will use the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron as the Formation Eye [the core and control point of a formation] to set up a Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Formation." Zixuan the Daoist nodded, then smiled slightly and said, "In that case, my thanks."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod of agreement and stated, "I shall first return to the Abyssal Abode of Bliss to have several Fellow Daoist from my clan come to assist." After bidding farewell to Zixuan the Daoist, Eldrin Chen made his way back to the Abyssal Sea Region. Find this and other novels at audio‑novel.com.
