Chapter 1537 : Ascendant Power of the Indestructible Body

My physical strength should now be comparable to a true Supreme Unity Immortal Physique. Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, able to roughly estimate that his physical power alone should be sufficient to contend with ten Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivators, rivaling a Half-Step Celestial Immortal who has established a Single Taiyi Foundation within a Sixfold Heavens.

If my physical body and Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by immortals] were combined, augmented by various Immortal Treasure [powerful artifacts forged by or for immortals] and Divine Ability [supernatural powers mastered through cultivation], I could likely match twenty Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivators.

It must be understood that most Dual Taiyi Foundation cultivators possess combat power roughly equivalent to thirty Earth Immortal Great Perfection cultivators.

This level of power is already exceedingly formidable. Although it still falls short of a powerful Half-Step Celestial Immortal with a Dual Taiyi Foundation, it at least grants me the capacity to engage them in battle. With the addition of the Supreme Unity Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword, Eldrin Chen might even gain the upper hand against a Dual Taiyi Foundation opponent—at least until his Mana is exhausted.

"At this rate, once I refine five Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [paradisiacal realms of supreme spiritual quality], the power of my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body alone should rival an existence with a Dual Taiyi Dao Fruit." "If I further temper it with the power of the Wind, Ice, and Thunder Three Anomalies [three rare and potent cosmic phenomena used for cultivation], my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body should be sufficient to contend with the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor by itself."

Sensing the power within himself, Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a flicker of excitement appearing between his brows.

Within the Immortal Domain, strength represents nearly everything. As his cultivation has deepened over these years, Eldrin Chen's power has grown increasingly formidable, and his confidence has steadily increased.

If he takes the next step and ascends to the Heaven Immortal Realm, he will become a mighty figure whose name resonates across the entire Azure Firmament Immortal Domain. Only then will he truly be free from days filled with constant apprehension.

"A pity. These final two Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss will not be easy to find." Having completed his cultivation session, Eldrin Chen slowly rose to his feet, a pensive look flashing in his eyes.

Within this Minor Universe, the only Blessed Land [realms abundant with spiritual energy and natural treasures] still brimming with ample Primordial Source [the fundamental, primordial energy of creation] are the four great Ancient True Spirit Domains. Of these four domains, Eldrin Chen has already completely refined the spiritual essence of three: the Dragon Turtle, the Kui Ox, and the Great Roc Blessed Land.

The remaining Great Roc Ancient Domain [a primordial realm associated with the Great Roc], being a wind-attributed Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [a paradise of the highest cultivation grade], held little practical use for Eldrin Chen.

Therefore, the remaining metal and wood-attributed Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [paradises of the highest cultivation grade] still needed to be sought from within the Immortal Domain [the overarching realm of immortals].

After much contemplation, Eldrin Chen finally smiled and said, "Fortunately, only two Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [paradises of the highest cultivation grade] remain. With careful planning, securing them will be far simpler than searching for five."

With this thought, Eldrin Chen let out a hearty laugh and strode forth from the depths of the starry void, heading towards the Yin Plane Microcosm [a miniature cosmos associated with the underworld or Yin plane].

He had not traveled far when a Spirit Talisman [an enchanted paper slip inscribed with mystical seals] in his hand began to glow, signaling an event.

"The Horizon Remote Sensing Talisman [a talisman capable of sensing and communicating across vast cosmic distances]," he murmured.

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly, his expression turning grave. This particular Horizon Remote Sensing Talisman [a talisman for long-distance communication] consisted of one master and nine subordinate talismans, allowing communication across immeasurable stretches of the starry expanse.

Years ago, Eldrin Chen had left one with the Human Sovereign's Palace [the seat of power for the ruler of humanity]. Unless faced with a crisis of monumental scale, the Human Sovereign [the sovereign ruler of the human race] would not use this ancient talisman to send a message.

Indeed, as Eldrin Chen probed the information within the talisman, his countenance grew profoundly solemn.

He immediately changed course for the Human Sovereign Nebula [the stellar nebula under the Human Sovereign's dominion]. As he approached, he confirmed that beyond the nebula's borders, a cataclysmic battle had already erupted.

Within the Boundless Starry Sky [the infinite expanse of stars and cosmos], more than forty Half-Step Celestial Immortals [cultivators who have ascended to the peak of mortality, one step away from true immortality] from the Divine Race [a powerful race of celestial beings] and the Demonic Tribe [a formidable race of demonic entities] were besieging the grand Formation [a powerful defensive or offensive array of magical energy] protecting the Human Sovereign Nebula [a celestial region under human dominion].

Inside the Formation, twenty-one Human Race Half-Step Celestial Immortals were resisting with all their might. Among those Eldrin Chen saw were Aethelred, the Human Sovereign, the Archaic Emperor [a title for an ancient and venerable ruler], the Future Emperor [a title for a ruler who embodies the potential of times to come], and the Eastern Pole Great Emperor [a title for a mighty sovereign of the eastern realms].

In addition, there were several other Human Race Half-Step Celestial Immortals present, including the Great White Celestial Maiden, the Pure Yang Holy Son [a sacred scion of the Pure Yang path], and the Buddha's Child of the Great Desert Ancient Temple.

"The Demonic Tribe and the Divine Race have truly joined forces," Eldrin Chen murmured, his expression turning grave.

He did not immediately intervene to offer aid. Instead, he swept his spiritual sense through the Void [the empty space between stars and realms], quickly locating Lyra Jiang and the others concealed within the starry expanse.

At this moment, Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor, Separated Flame Deity, Zixuan the Daoist, and other Half-Step Celestial Immortals had all gathered.

Upon seeing them, Eldrin Chen inquired without delay, "What is the situation?"

"The assault has only just begun," the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor replied slowly, his face somber. "This alliance between the Demonic Tribe and the Divine Race... it seems their primary target is likely the Ethereal Void Holy Son."

Divine Lord Glaze's countenance was etched with deep concern. "What should we do?" he could not help but ask.

"We must still lend our aid," Eldrin Chen stated, his resolve firm.

Eldrin Chen spoke, his brow furrowed with concern: "If we allow the Human Race to be besieged by the Demon and God Races, the human forces will inevitably suffer grievous losses. Following that, the demon and god factions will proceed to clear the field."

Zixuan the Daoist also gave a slight nod, then stated calmly, "Regardless of the outcome, this battle will inflict massive casualties on both sides. How, then, will we withstand the Celestial Emperor's Avatar afterward?"

"Then let us act."

Once their resolve was set, the group moved in an instant.

The first to strike was the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor. Activating the Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree, he swept his sleeve, unleashing a torrent of myriad Divine Ability techniques that cascaded down upon the Half-Step Celestial Immortal experts of the Demon and God Races.

"Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor, it is indeed you." The story continues at audio novel.com.

Sensing the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor's assault, the combatants on both sides shifted their focus. From the heart of the battlefield, five Grotto-Heaven Direct Descendant—the Yuezhuo, the Phoenix Maiden, the Western Qi Divine Son, Ancestor Western Geng, the True Dragon Crown Prince, and the Kunji Divine Son—instantly retaliated. Wielding their Taiyi Immortal Weapon artifacts, they joined forces to counter the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor.

Although the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor possessed power that awed even immortals, confronting five Grotto-Heaven Direct Descendant armed with Taiyi Immortal Weapon pushed him to his very limits. The remaining forces still held a significant advantage against the Human Race within the Human Sovereign Nebula.

Fortunately, at that moment, five others joined the fray: Eldrin Chen, Divine Lord Glaze, Zixuan the Daoist, the Life Emperor, and the Separated Flame Deity. Their intervention dramatically alleviated the pressure on the battlefront.

Among these newcomers, Eldrin Chen's current combat prowess was already comparable to that of a top-tier Half-Step Celestial Immortal.

Divine Lord Glaze wielded the Taiyi Immortal Weapon Seven-Colored Heaven-Scrolling Ribbon, and Zixuan the Daoist also possessed the Taiyi Immortal Weapon Kui Ox Heavenly Drum. Coupled with Separated Flame Deity, whose combat prowess rivaled that of a Dual Taiyi Foundation cultivator, they managed to dramatically reverse the tide of battle for a time.

"The Kui Ox Heavenly Drum... so it was you who slew the Kui Ox."

As Zixuan the Daoist swept across the battlefield with the Kui Ox Heavenly Drum, Golden Radiance Deity from the Golden Radiance Grotto-Heaven watched with a chilling gaze, intent on seizing the drum. However, he was firmly held at bay by the Great White Celestial Maiden.

Western Qi Divine Son's expression turned even colder. He glared at Separated Flame Deity and demanded, "Li Yan [Separated Flame], you are of the Divine Race. Why do you aid the Human Race against us?"

"Come to our aid swiftly, and I, this Divine Son, promise to grant you entry into the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven."

Separated Flame Deity merely offered a faint smile, his gaze profound. "The Western Qi Celestial God governs the virtue of Water [one of the Five Elements/Phases], which is fundamentally incompatible with my fire-aligned Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator]."

"In ages past, how was the Crimson Sun Celestial God ensnared by the schemes of the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven, losing his life-bound Innate Treasure [a treasure born with or intrinsically linked to a being], the Crimson Sun Halberd, and thus transformed into the Setting Sun Celestial God?"

"For me to follow you into the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven would be like a lamb willingly entering a tiger's den."

As Separated Flame Deity spoke these words, the Separated Flame Heaven Lantern in his hand unleashed boundless Southern Brightness Sunfire, forcing his opponent into a relentless retreat.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen pricked up his ears, a spark of curiosity igniting within him.

In ages past, the Setting Sun Celestial God was a name of great renown. Born with the Innate Ancient Treasure Crimson Sun Halberd as his companion weapon, his innate foundation rivaled that of the most supreme Innate Divine Spirit. By all rights, he should have at least attained the realm of a Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm.

Yet, he was discovered while still in gestation. What was once thought to be a mere accident now appears, in hindsight, to have been the machinations of the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven [a mystical realm aligned with the energies of the Western direction and the Qi element].
