Chapter 1589 : Sword Qi of the Void

"Oh no."

In that instant, Golden Spirit Holy Son's heart lurched. He instantly sensed a lethal threat descending upon him and immediately sought to disengage and retreat.

Alas, it was already too late. The Divine Ability unleashed by Eldrin Chen was the Mysterious Profound-grade 'Supreme Unity Ethereal Void Sword Qi'.

This Supreme Unity Ethereal Void Sword Qi was an exceedingly rare spatial-type Divine Ability. Once activated, the Sword Qi became formless and invisible, yet it possessed the power to cleave through all things between heaven and earth, its might virtually unstoppable. Just as Golden Spirit Holy Son tried to flee, a strand of Sword Qi swept across his waist. His supposedly indestructible Vajra Immortal Saint Body was instantly severed in two.

"Aaaargh—!"

After a single agonized scream, Golden Spirit Holy Son hastily fled, spitting blood as he flew away with half his physical body into the depths of the Void.

Eldrin Chen did not pursue. He understood clearly that a direct disciple of such a Great Luo Sects undoubtedly had a Heavenly Immortal Paragon-level existence backing them.

Bound by the unspoken Rule that Heaven Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to the celestial realm] do not intervene against Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal still residing on the earthly plane], such supreme beings generally refrain from meddling in conflicts among juniors. However, if he were to press for a killing blow, the other side would unlikely hold back. With Golden Spirit Holy Son defeated in a single exchange, both Celestia, the Myriad Blossoms Heavenly Maiden and Severus Duan paled dramatically. The two swiftly retreated a great distance, withdrawing from the battlefield.

"The Art of Weapon Derivation, the Void Slaughter Divine Ability."

Severus Duan could not help but glance at Eldrin Chen, drawing a deep breath before speaking. "Who exactly are you, sir, to possess such a formidable slaughtering Divine Ability?" Discover more cultivation stories at audio–novel.com.

Eldrin Chen did not answer, merely stating with detached calm, "Do you still wish to fight?" "Your jest is too kind," Celestia, the Myriad Blossoms Heavenly Maiden replied with a light smile. "If Profound Divine Ability [a supreme mystical technique] were to be ranked in tiers, then the Void Slaughter Divine Ability [a technique of slaughter born from the void] would be among the highest of the high. We are no match for you."

Within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the myriad realms of the immortals], Mysterious Profound-grade Void Slaughter Divine Ability are exceedingly rare. Having never witnessed this particular Divine Ability before, they surmised it must have been created by some Great Luo Immortal Lord [an immortal lord of the highest heavens].

That Eldrin Chen could master such a Divine Ability led her to believe he was likely the heir of a top-tier Great Luo Ancient Sect [an ancient sect of the Great Luo heavens].

Severus Duan also gave a slight nod. "Since Fellow Daoist [a respectful term for a fellow cultivator] is unwilling to reveal your origins, I shall not press the matter," he inquired.

"Today, I concede defeat. On the day I step into the Heaven Immortal Realm [the realm of the Heavenly Immortals], I shall seek a rematch to determine the superior."

With those words, both Severus Duan and Celestia, the Myriad Blossoms Heavenly Maiden departed, leaving Eldrin Chen alone upon the Jia Wood Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of cultivation].

Simultaneously, high upon the Firmament [the vault of heaven], three figures stood facing one another, their gazes calmly fixed upon Eldrin Chen's back as he entered the Blessed Land.

The cultivation bases of these three were unfathomably deep; they were the Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme master among Heavenly Immortals] backing Severus Duan and the other two.

After a moment, the female immortal from the Myriad Blossoms Ancient Sect [an ancient sect of myriad blossoms] asked, "Have you discerned his origins?"

"My divinations have yielded nothing."

The Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme cultivator who has transcended the earthly realm and ascended to the celestial plane] of the Azure Firmament Ancient Sect shook his head, his expression placid as he spoke, "Even with the Innate Treasure [a treasure born of heaven and earth, containing innate laws] 'Celestial Mechanism Diagram', I could not glimpse his origins. It seems the ancient sect behind him must possess an Innate Spiritual Treasure [an even more profound innate treasure capable of suppressing and anchoring a force's destiny] to anchor its fortune."

"Then it must be the Great Luo Ancient Sect."

The Heavenly Immortal Paragon of the Golden Spirit Clan spoke, then continued with a grave expression, "Judging by the Grand Unity Refined Gold War Halberd, it is likely this individual emerged from the Minor Universe [a self-contained, smaller dimensional realm] in ancient times."

"To depart without a trace from under the watchful eyes of so many Heaven Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the heavenly realm], he must have Ancient Immortals [immortals from a bygone, primordial era] guarding his path. He undoubtedly hails from a top-tier Great Luo Ancient Sect."

"For such Ancient Immortals to conceal their identity suggests a grander scheme is afoot. If we force him into the open and disrupt his plans, we may invite a calamity upon ourselves."

"Enough. There is no need for us to antagonize such a power. It is merely one Earth Vein [a subterranean conduit of concentrated earth-attribute spiritual energy]. We shall simply select another."

With these words, the three Heavenly Immortal Paragon departed one after another.

Only after the three had left did Eldrin Chen feel an intangible pressure dissipate, a profound sense of relief washing over him.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the Jia Wood Abode of Bliss [a blessed land imbued with the essence of the Jia Wood, the first of the ten heavenly stems, representing vigorous growth] to assess the gains from this venture. Soon, Eldrin Chen had inventoried the resources within the Jia Wood Abode of Bliss, discovering several precious Immortal Treasures [objects of immense power and rarity used by immortals].

Within this Jia Wood Abode of Bliss, aside from the Blessed Land [a realm of concentrated spiritual energy and natural wonders] itself, the only item that caught Eldrin Chen's eye was a single Top-Grade World-Opening Rare Treasure [a supreme-grade rare treasure of the highest order, said to possess the power to assist in the creation or stabilization of a world].

This rare treasure is named the 'Jia Wood Primordial Essence' [a primordial essence of pure Wood element, the highest grade of its kind]. It is the supreme treasure born from this Jia Wood Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of profound Wood-element spiritual energy]. This object can be used as an ingredient in Alchemy [the art of refining spiritual pills and elixirs], and is also a top-tier treasure for cultivating Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power or technique].

Eldrin Chen's 'Primordial Unity Qi' [a divine ability that unifies the primordial energies], this Divine Ability, has been deduced by him to the level of half-step Patriarch Grade [a realm denoting the pinnacle of power for a clan or sect progenitor]. However, to successfully cultivate it, he still needs to gather five types of Peerless [a grade denoting supreme, unmatched quality] World Creation [pertaining to the foundational energies used in creation] Primordial Source [the original, foundational essence of an element]: namely, the Wood-First Divine Thunder [Divine Thunder of Primordial Wood], Earth-Fortress [the Unshakable Earth-Fortress], Water-Flood Divine Thunder [Divine Thunder of the Great Flood], Separated Flame [a primordial flame essence], and Metallic Essence [a primordial metallic essence].

Over these years, the Chen Immortal Clan [the Chen Clan of Immortals] has continuously searched and has already gathered three of these Primordial Source: the Earth-Fortress, Separated Flame, and Metallic Essence. They only need to find the Ren Water Origin [the Primordial Source of Ren Water, one of the celestial stems representing Water] to cultivate this Divine Ability to the half-step Patriarch Grade level.

With Eldrin Chen's current Mana [spiritual power or cultivation base] comparable to a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of ascending to true immortality], once he activates a Profound Grade Divine Ability [a divine ability of the profound grade], the power unleashed would be comparable to that of a Taiyi Immortal Weapon [an immortal-grade magical weapon of immense power].

If he could cultivate the Primordial Unity Qi to the half-step Patriarch Grade, its power would undoubtedly undergo an unprecedented qualitative transformation.

According to Eldrin Chen's knowledge, if a half-step Patriarch-Grade Divine Ability is cultivated to great completion and is wielded by an Ancient Immortals [a cultivator who has achieved immortality in ancient times], the power unleashed could even rival that of an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure born from the chaos of creation], far surpassing ordinary High-Grade Innate Treasure [high-grade treasures of innate origin].

Such Supreme Divine Abilities [divine abilities of the highest order], even if Eldrin Chen's cultivation base is far from sufficient to display their full might, would likely far exceed the power of a Taiyi Immortal Weapon.

"The Divine Ability can wait, but this Earth Vein [a concentrated ley line of earth-element spiritual energy]..."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a faint smile touching his lips. Without any hesitation, he immediately began refining this Supreme Grade Abode of Bliss [a blessed land of the supreme grade].

This time, refining the Blessed Land [a place of concentrated spiritual energy and natural blessings] proceeded without the interference of Demonic Qi [corruptive demonic energy], allowing Eldrin Chen's speed to increase significantly.

In merely eight Millennium [a period of one thousand years], he had completely refined this Blessed Land [a land imbued with potent spiritual energy and fortune].

After he had fully refined the Blessed Land, Eldrin Chen perceived the Five Divine Spirits [the five divine spirits corresponding to the internal organs] within his body begin to emit a fierce, radiant light.

Within his Five Viscera [the five internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys], the Crimson Emperor [the spirit of the heart], the Yellow Emperor [the spirit of the spleen], the White Emperor [the spirit of the lungs], and the Black Emperor [the spirit of the kidneys] blazed with incandescent brilliance. As boundless Primordial Source [the foundational, primordial energy of creation] surged into his liver, the divine spirit of the Azure Emperor [the spirit of the liver] grew increasingly dazzling. With the Five Emperors achieving equilibrium, their five powers merged into one, causing that strand of Chaos Miasma [the primordial, chaotic energy from which all things are born] to swell and thicken dramatically, multiplying severalfold in the blink of an eye.

And Eldrin Chen's physical body, empowered by this force, underwent an unprecedented qualitative transformation.

"My physical strength seems to have undergone a kind of ultimate metamorphosis,"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his gaze now shimmering with traces of Chaos Qi [the primordial, formless energy that predates the universe].

In that moment, he felt that the power of myself his own flesh could tear apart a Golden-Winged Roc [a mythical bird of immense size and power] with bare hands and reduce a half-step Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a cultivator on the verge of achieving the Heavenly Immortal realm] to dust.

Eldrin Chen knew in his heart that this was no mere illusion.

After the Five Elements [the five fundamental phases of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth] Primordial Source was replenished, his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique born from primordial chaos, granting near-absolute resilience] had undergone a qualitative leap, one could say it had truly stepped into the Taiyi Realm [the realm of the Grand Unity, a profound stage of physical cultivation].

Although it was merely at the stage of Initial Entry [the initial stage of entry into a new realm or ability], and had not yet been tempered by the three Earth Vein [the spiritual energy currents of wind, ice, and thunder that flow through the earth] to achieve a state of flawless perfection, it could already be called a true Taiyi Primordial Indestructible Physique [the physique of Grand Unity Primordial Indestructibility].

Having reached this realm, Eldrin Chen could contend with a Half-Step Celestial Immortal of the Dual Taiyi Foundation level using only the raw power of his physical body, without even activating his various Divine Abilities [supernatural powers derived from profound cultivation] or Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to fuel spells and techniques].

"If I augment that with my various Taiyi Immortal Weapons [powerful enchanted artifacts forged with Taiyi-level power] and Divine Abilities, my combat prowess should be equivalent to at least two cultivators of the Dual Taiyi Foundation,"

murmured Eldrin Chen, a glint of confidence flashing in his eyes. Support the author by reading on audio-novel.com (official site).
