Chapter 1500 : A Pact of Flames and Ambition

Even so, Eldrin Chen still did not agree.

He was seen shaking his head, then opening his mouth to speak: "I have an idea. Would the Divine Lord [a title for a powerful deity or immortal] care to hear it?" "Oh?"

Separated Flame Deity raised an eyebrow, gesturing for Eldrin Chen to continue.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke calmly: "Let us cooperate to seize the Flowing Fire Star Palace. Upon success, the Divine Lord may cultivate within the Flowing Fire Abode of Bliss [a paradisiacal realm of cultivation]."

"When the time comes to attempt a breakthrough into the Taiyi Realm [the Taiyi Realm, a high stage of immortal cultivation], this Blessed Land [a land rich in spiritual energy] can also provide Immortal Spirit Qi [the purest form of spiritual energy] to aid the Divine Lord in your breakthrough."

At this point, Eldrin Chen paused briefly before continuing: "However, the ownership of this Blessed Land, along with all the resources within it, shall belong to my Chen Immortal Clan."

"Leased to me for cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Separated Flame Deity could not help but furrow her brow slightly.

Her primary objective in coming to the Abyssal Abode of Bliss was naturally to obtain a Peerless [a grade denoting supreme, matchless quality] Blessed Land to aid her own breakthrough into the Taiyi Realm. However, to be fair, after slaying the Lord of the Flowing Fire Palace, Eldrin Chen had already claimed nearly half the credit for the destruction of the Flowing Fire Star Palace.

Moreover, relying solely on her own strength, her chances of successfully taking the Flowing Fire Star Palace were not particularly high. Join our community of readers at audio-novel . com.

Under such circumstances, her desire to enlist Eldrin Chen's aid while claiming the most valuable Peerless Blessed Land [a supremely auspicious and spiritually potent realm] was something Eldrin Chen would certainly never agree to. Therefore, she had promised him her protection.

Now that Eldrin Chen still disagreed and had proposed his own conditions, she was plunged into deep contemplation. Her ultimate goal in scheming for the Peerless Blessed Land was fundamentally to achieve a breakthrough into the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm [a transcendent state bordering on true immortality].

Thus, if she could secure the right to use the Blessed Land, using it to break through to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal Realm would be the absolute limit of her concession.

Having reached this conclusion, Separated Flame Deity pondered briefly, then fixed her gaze upon Eldrin Chen and declared, "If you wish to claim the Flowing Fire Star Palace [a celestial palace associated with flowing fire and stars], you must first demonstrate your capabilities for me to see."

"Very well,"

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, understanding that Separated Flame Deity wished to gauge his strength.

If his power proved insufficient, then he naturally would lack the necessary leverage to claim the entire Flowing Fire Star Palace. In that case, Separated Flame Deity would likely still demand a share of its resources.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke calmly, "I have long heard of the mighty reputation of the Separated Flame Divine Lord. Today presents a fine opportunity to witness it firsthand. This is no place for a clash. Let us ascend to the Nine Heavens [the highest celestial realms] for our contest."

As his words faded, he stepped forth from the Abyssal Sea Region [a vast and profound sea realm] and soared upwards towards the Nine Heavens Above.

After flying for an immeasurable time, he halted and looked back, standing firm between heaven and earth. The immense Abyssal Sea Region below had shrunk to a mere, insignificant speck.

Simultaneously, Separated Flame Deity also stood firm in the Nine Heavens Above, appearing not far from them.

The Earth Immortal and Immortal experts of the Abyssal Sea Region all soared into the distant sky to observe the battle, each and every one wearing an expression of utmost gravity.

This was a duel between the mightiest Immortal of two different eras, separated by a span of a million years. One had once reigned supreme in his own age, his cultivation reaching the Earth Immortal Great Perfection realm, nearly invincible beneath the Taiyi level.

The other had risen to prominence only four hundred thousand years ago, yet had already achieved astonishing feats, remaining undefeated among those of equal cultivation. The clash of such two figures captured everyone's attention from the very outset.

Behold, Separated Flame Deity stood upon the Firmament, clad in a fiery red gown. With her hands clasped behind her back, she gazed at Eldrin Chen and spoke with serene composure.

"You may make the first move." "Oh?"

Eldrin Chen's pupils contracted slightly. In that instant, his palm cleaved through the air. His Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body erupted with a Chaos Gold radiance as he struck directly towards Separated Flame Deity.

"The path of Fleshly Body Sanctification [the art of refining one's physical form to an indestructible, sacred state]."

A faint frown creased Separated Flame Deity's brow, yet she showed not a moment's hesitation. Raising her hand, she gathered a vermillion light into her palm and met his strike head-on. Confident in her own invincibility within the same realm, she intended to contest Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body with the sheer power of her own fleshly body.

"BOOM!"

In that instant, as fist and palm met, the Void trembled violently, followed by a blinding shockwave that swept across the vast expanse, its impact reaching across countless billions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] of heaven and earth.

The Separated Flame Deity [a powerful deity associated with flame] was forced back three steps, a sharp pain shooting through her wrist, her bright eyes widening with a flicker of shock and awe.

She could not help but lift her gaze towards Eldrin Chen, and saw him standing firm upon the Firmament [the vault of heaven], his divine countenance calm and composed as he regarded her.

"Such formidable physical prowess."

A profound gravity settled in the heart of the Separated Flame Deity. From that single exchange of blows, she had already gauged the measure of Eldrin Chen's strength.

The Eldrin Chen before her was undoubtedly a formidable opponent. She understood clearly that even if she were to unleash her full power, she might be able to defeat him, but she herself would be left grievously wounded. The complete novel can be found at audio-novel.com.

With this thought, she did not press the attack further, merely nodding and saying, "Your natural talent surpasses my own, and your physical body is mightier. However, for a World-Opening True Body [a legendary physique of immense power] such as yours, to continue surpassing its limits, to cultivate it to the perfect Supreme Unity Immortal Physique [the pinnacle of immortal physical constitutions], and even to step into the Heaven Immortal Realm [a supreme realm of immortal cultivation]... I fear that would be a task more difficult than scaling the heavens themselves."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod of acknowledgment, naturally understanding the Separated Flame Deity's point.

His Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [an ultimate physique born from primordial chaos] was simply too powerful; its future advancements would naturally become increasingly arduous.

Over these past years, Eldrin Chen had already deduced the method for advancing his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body. For this constitution to undergo a complete metamorphosis into the Taiyi True Body [the True Body of the Supreme Unity, a legendary state of being], the resources required were truly staggering.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, he would need to refine at least five PeerlessBlessed Land [a land imbued with immense spiritual fortune and energy] to trigger the metamorphosis of the Primordial Source [the foundational origin energy] within his Five Divine Spirits [five divine spiritual entities cultivated within oneself].

Only after the Primordial Source of his Five Divine Spirits underwent this transformation, and he subsequently endured the trials of Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering [a body-forging art using heavenly lightning], Frost Soul Meridian Refining, and Gale Wind Bone Erosion [a bone-strengthening art using gale-force winds], could his Five Divine Spirits truly reach a state of flawless perfection.

At that time, the power of each of the Five Divine Spirits would rival that of a deity in the Taiyi [a high celestial realm] realm. When the power of these five divine spirits merged into one, he would be able to sweep through the Taiyi realm with virtually no equal.

Even more daunting was the fact that after Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [an ultimate physique born from primordial chaos] advanced to the Taiyi Realm, cultivating it into the Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [the supreme innate form of the indestructible body] would require a full five strands of Innate Qi [the primordial energy present at the birth of the universe].

Only when the Five Divine Spirits fused with the Innate Qi, transforming into five foundations of Innate Divine Spirit [a divine spirit of innate origin], could the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body fully step into the Innate Realm [the realm of innate, primordial existence].

Yet, Innate Qi is exceedingly rare. Many Immortals [beings who have ascended to immortality] in the early Heaven Immortal [Celestial Immortal] stage spend their entire lifetimes acquiring only two or three strands of Innate Qi.

Take Dragon King of the Western Abyss, for example. Although he stepped into the Innate Realm, he obtained merely two strands of Innate Qi. Unless he encounters a monumental stroke of fortune, hoping to acquire more Innate Qi hereafter is little more than a fool's dream.

"The path of Fleshly Body Sanctification [the art of refining the physical body to a sacred state] consumes far too many resources,"

"Throughout the ages, among the Heaven's Chosen [those favored by heaven with exceptional talent], unless one possesses heaven-defying talent, encounters a destiny-shaping opportunity, or has the backing of a Great Luo Golden Immortal [a supreme immortal of the Great Luo realm], attempting to walk this path is nothing short of delusion."

Eldrin Chen could not help but sigh inwardly, a trace of solemn contemplation settling upon his features.

The Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable and eternal] is truly formidable, yet walking this path to its end is no simple feat.

A full five strands of Innate Qi [the primordial energy from which all creation is born]! I fear that even an existence at the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm [the pinnacle stage for Celestial Immortals] might not be able to produce such an amount in one breath. And even if they could, a Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the Heavenly Realm] would likely be reluctant to hand it over to myself.

After all, the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme powerhouse among Heaven Immortals] also has a great need for Innate Qi [the primordial energy from which all creation is born]. The story continues at AUDIO-NOVEL.COM.
