Chapter 1544 : Primordial Vase of Chaos

Gazing at that Innate Light, Eldrin Chen felt a subtle stirring within his heart.

He understood this was an Innate Marvels [a treasure born from the primal forces of creation] birthed from the intertwining of Primordial Source [the original, undifferentiated essence of existence] and the Chaotic Torrent [a primordial river of formless chaos] at the moment the Cosmos met its end. "So, at the extremity of destruction lies vitality..."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, sensing the vast Rule of Life [the fundamental principle governing life and vitality] contained within, and seemed to grasp a faint, elusive insight.

Simultaneously, far away within the nameless void, the Abyssal Pearl rotated slowly, gradually absorbing the essence of destruction and the lingering traces of the Abyssal Dao Traces [the residual imprints of the profound Abyssal Dao].

An immeasurable span of time passed. As the Minor Universe continued its inexorable collapse, at the very heart of the Cosmos, within the churning Chaotic Torrent, the Innate Light gradually condensed inward, transforming into a simple, ancient-looking small vase.

The vase was of a pale violet hue. Its material was neither metal, stone, nor jade, yet it was crystalline and translucent throughout. Within it swirled the Qi of Heaven and Earth [the primordial energies of Heaven and Earth], two distinct gases intertwining, emanating an innate, hazy luminescence that coalesced into a Hue of Primordial Chaos's Dawn [the first light that emerged from the formless chaos at the dawn of creation].

"The Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth."

In but an instant, the assembled figures recognized the treasure's origin and surged toward the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth with frantic zeal. Immediately, several Imperial Sons and Holy Sonss charged forth, each desperate to seize the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth, igniting another chaotic melee. Eldrin Chen lifted his gaze and identified the Demonic Tribe's Yueling the Phoenix Maiden, the True Dragon Crown Prince, and Ancestor Western Geng.

From the Human Race, there were Great White Celestial Maiden, the Pure Yang Holy Son, and the Buddha's Child of the Great Desert. From the Divine Race, there were Kunji Divine Son and the Western Qi Divine Son. They had seemingly formed a tentative alliance, simultaneously vying for the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth while jointly besieging Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor.

Clearly, in the eyes of these contenders, Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor posed the greatest threat. For the best reading experience, visit site: audio-novel.com.

Facing the assault of eight supreme Half-Step Celestial Immortal wielding Taiyi Immortal Weapon [an immortal-grade treasure of the highest order], even the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor, for all his earth-shaking prowess, found himself subtly pushed onto the back foot.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen exchanged a slight nod with the Ethereal Void Holy Son.

In that fleeting Ksana-time, Eldrin Chen and Jiang Daoxu moved simultaneously. They did not rush to aid the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor, but instead charged straight for the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth [a legendary vessel said to contain the primordial energies that birthed heaven and earth]. "Damn it!"

Seeing the two attempting to seize an advantage, the True Dragon Crown Prince, the Kunji Divine Son, and the Western Qi Divine Son disengaged to intercept them. Another fierce battle erupted in full force.

Aethelred, the Human Sovereign did not hesitate either. Grasping his Aethelred's War Halberd, he strode through the void to confront the True Dragon Crown Prince.

The True Dragon Crown Prince, seeing Aethelred, the Human Sovereign approach, sneered coldly. "You, a Human Sovereign [a supreme ruler of humanity blessed by cosmic mandate] with but a Single Taiyi Foundation [the foundational cultivation base required to wield a single Taiyi-grade immortal treasure], were always the weakest of the Three Sovereigns [the legendary trio of supreme human rulers].

"Now that this Cosmos has perished, stripped of the Mandate of the Human Sovereign [the divine right and cosmic authority granted to a true Human Sovereign], what fraction of your former power remains?"

Aethelred, the Human Sovereign's expression remained serene, the cold light of his Aethelred's War Halberd gleaming faintly. "You are welcome to test that for yourself." "Seeking death!"

With a derisive laugh, the True Dragon Crown Prince surged forward, commanding his Taiyi Immortal Weapon to meet Aethelred, the Human Sovereign in a bloody clash.

It was a battle of unparalleled ferocity, a final, desperate struggle waged within the ruins of the Cosmos. It was also a dirge—the last Human Sovereign of this dying world, fighting with every fiber of his being against the invaders from the Outer Realm [a realm or dimension beyond the known cosmos].

In the final throes of battle, the Celestial Halberd shattered, his body a canvas of grievous wounds. Yet, Aethelred, the Human Sovereign [the ruler of humankind], his battered frame drenched in blood, still gripped the broken haft, sweeping it in a defiant arc against all foes. "Boom!"

Finally, embracing death in combat and trading wound for wound in a desperate gamble, Aethelred, the Human Sovereign succeeded in grievously wounding the True Dragon Crown Prince.

The shattered remnant of the Celestial Halberd pierced through the True Dragon Crown Prince, pinning his physical form upon the fabric of the Void [the formless primordial emptiness]. Dragon blood stained the fractured Cosmos [the ordered universe]. "Agh!"

The True Dragon Crown Prince screamed, his eyes now wide with a flicker of terror.

He could scarcely believe it, his mind reeling in disbelief. Possessing a Dual Taiyi Foundation [a supreme dual-primordial cultivation base] and wielding a Taiyi Immortal Weapon [a weapon of primordial immortal grade], how could he have been defeated by this mere Aethelred, the Human Sovereign?

"Die!"

Aethelred, the Human Sovereign spat blood, ignoring his own body which verged on disintegration. He took the True Dragon Crown Prince's full-force blow head-on, using the grievous injury as the price to close the distance. With a roar, he spread his hands and tore.

A single, piercing shriek echoed as the True Dragon Crown Prince was rent in two by Aethelred, the Human Sovereign.

His Taiyi True Dragon Physique [Primordial True Dragon Body] destroyed, the True Dragon Crown Prince's Nascent Soul Immortal Embryo [the nascent immortal soul-embryo] sought to flee. But Aethelred, the Human Sovereign was prepared. Gripping the broken blade, he thrust it forth, piercing the fleeing Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] in an instant.

In a Ksana-time [an infinitesimal moment], the True Dragon Crown Prince fell, his Primordial Spirit beginning to disintegrate into motes of light. "A forged vessel, possessing only the semblance of strength, ornate yet hollow."

With a single move, he slew the True Dragon Crown Prince. Aethelred, the Human Sovereign spoke coldly, his tone laced with a hint of disdain as he offered his evaluation.

In that moment, everyone was stunned. Even the Phoenix Maiden and Western Qi Divine Son and others could not conceal their shock.

To suppress and slay a Dual Taiyi Foundation cultivator wielding a Taiyi Immortal Weapon while oneself was only at the Single Taiyi Foundation—such a world-shaking, earth-shattering feat truly struck awe into the hearts of all present. They looked at Aethelred, the Human Sovereign, shaken by the sheer, ruthless determination he displayed.

A fighting style like Aethelred, the Human Sovereign's, even if victorious, would leave the user crippled, likely to perish not long after. The True Dragon Crown Prince, cherishing his own life and power, was unwilling to trade injury for injury. Little did he expect this very reluctance would cost him his life.

"From the very beginning, you never intended to return alive."

The Pure Yang Holy Son gazed at Aethelred, the Human Sovereign and could not help but sigh as he spoke. For uninterrupted reading, go to https://audio-novel.com.

Aethelred, the Human Sovereign offered no reply. He merely tightened his grip on his war halberd and strode towards the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth.

In that instant, the others sought to intervene, only to find Eldrin Chen, Jiang Daoxu, and the Myriad Spirits Ancient Ancestor unleashing their full power to hold them back. Struggling amidst the onslaught, the Phoenix Maiden and the Pure Yang Holy Son managed to disengage, aiming to seize the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth from Aethelred, the Human Sovereign's grasp.

Yet, in that very same moment, Aethelred, the Human Sovereign suddenly struck out with a mighty palm, sending the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth flying. And the direction in which the Primordial Qi Vase of Heaven and Earth soared was precisely towards where Eldrin Chen stood.

"Now!"

In that fleeting instant, Eldrin Chen grasped the Heaven One Qi Vase [a magical vessel that can contain and refine primordial energies] in his hand and immediately fled into the distance using the Void [a profound cultivation art that allows for instantaneous spatial traversal].

The group gave chase once more, yet Eldrin Chen continuously shifted through the Void, vanishing in the blink of an eye to an unknown location. "What a formidable Spatial Spiritual Treasure [a magical artifact capable of manipulating space]! To think it can navigate this shattered and unstable Cosmos [the fabric of reality, the ordered universe]."

Perceiving the extraordinary nature of Eldrin Chen's Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, the pursuers were filled with immense frustration. They were determined to encircle and intercept him.

But at that very moment, a thunderous roar echoed from within the Endless Void [the infinite, formless expanse beyond the cosmos]. On the other side of the Cosmos, another rift in space tore open, and a torrential flood of Boundless Chaos [the primordial, disordered state before creation] came surging down.

And this was merely the beginning. As the group looked up, they saw endless spatial storms and infinite Chaotic Torrent [raging currents of primordial chaos] relentlessly assailing the Cosmos, churning it until it was nearly torn asunder.

Even the Minor Cosmos Entrance [the gateway to a smaller, self-contained realm], which the several Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme cultivation realm, the pinnacle of immortal attainment] were stabilizing with their full power, now began to tremble and sway, on the verge of complete annihilation. "We can linger no longer."

Ancestor Western Geng's expression shifted slightly. He could no longer spare a thought for the Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos, possessing innate laws and immense power] and immediately made for the Minor Cosmos Entrance. Seeing this, the others also understood that the Innate Treasure was beyond their grasp, and they all began to depart in haste.

Before leaving, the Western Qi Divine Son cast a cold glance at Eldrin Chen and sneered, "Though I know not who you are, since you conceal your form, you are likely not a Grotto-Heaven Direct Descendant [a direct descendant or chosen heir of a major immortal sanctuary or powerful sect]."

"Without the backing of a Grotto-Heaven [a blessed land, a paradise realm for cultivation, often the seat of a major power], all your efforts will ultimately become another's harvest." Read the full novel exclusively on audio-novel*com.
