Chapter 1298 : Primordial Void Mirror
After refining this Gold Essence Earth Vein, Eldrin's power had grown by several degrees.
He concluded his cultivation session and rose to his feet, only to discover Yin Yang Void standing guard beside him. "Did you succeed?"
Eldrin murmured under his breath, instinctively counting on his fingers before realizing that secluding himself to refine that supreme-grade earth vein had consumed a full 1 1000 years.
During this time, the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) had also successfully advanced, transforming into a Heaven-Opening Treasure.
After this treasure advanced to the rank of a Heaven-Opening Treasure, its spirituality and power had surged dramatically. The faintly discernible void energy and primordial magnetic light it now emanated were easily several times more potent than in the past.
Moreover, this mirror was profoundly mystical, containing 3 unorthodox-level supernatural powers: Magnetic Polar Radiance, Void-Rending Escape, and Ethereal Domain.
These 3 divine abilities were not meant for slaughter, yet each was an incredibly profound and unique art.
Among them, the Primordial Magnetic Aurora specifically countered all kinds of metal-based immortal treasures and rare artifacts, while the Void-Sundering Escape Technique could tear through the fabric of space, allowing Eldrin to instantly break through any confinement and flee to the distant void beyond.
The Void Ethereal Realm is a spatial domain within the Yin-Yang Void Realm, containing spatial energy that can seal the void upon activation.
Except for those Earth Immortals proficient in the laws of space or possessing spatial treasures, even late-stage Earth Immortal elders would struggle to breach it swiftly.
"At present, the Yin-Yang Void Mirror's offensive power still falls short of top-tier immortal treasures."
However, each art has its specialty. The Primordial Magnetic Aurora could suppress metal-attributed Primordial Chaos Treasures, the Void-Rending Heavenly Escape was a top-tier life-saving technique, and the Ethereal Void Domain served as the ultimate trump card for slaying Earth Immortals.
Eldrin murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.
Most ordinary low-grade Heaven-Opening Treasures possess only a single unorthodox-level Heaven-Opening Divine Ability.
Heaven-Opening Treasures capable of simultaneously wielding 2 divine abilities are often considered exceptionally formidable even among artifacts of the same tier.
This Yin Yang Void Mirror possessed 3 Heaven-Sundering Divine Abilities simultaneously, making it a top-tier treasure even among Heaven-Sundering Treasures.
"It seems this Void Treasure truly lives up to its reputation as the most supreme treasure of its rank."
Eldrin (Person Name) said with a light laugh, "The myriad paths of heaven and earth, the hundreds of millions of rules—they are beyond counting. Some say these forces of rules hold no inherent superiority over 1 another, for their strength ultimately depends on the 1 who wields them."
Even the most insignificant rule, when pursued to its extreme, can lead 1 to gaze directly upon the Great Dao.
Yet it is undeniable that within this chaos, the truly supreme experts are always those who wield the power of greater Daos.
For instance, the Primordial Dao Ancestor wielded the Great Dao of Primordial Beginning, 1 of the 5 Primordial Origins, while the Primal Chaos Sovereign reigned supreme through the Great Dao of Primal Chaos.
The Violet Emperor of the God Clan and the Solar Celestial Emperor of the Demon Clan both attained the realm of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal through mastering the cosmic authority as Sovereigns of All Stars.
From these observations, it appears that the pinnacle Rule Daos may be the very key to obtaining the threshold of the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Eldrin's Soil of All Things, Primordial Chaos Gold, Pure Yang Celestial Flame, Seed of Life, and Profound Abyssal True Water are each 1 of the most ancient and primordial Great Daos of heaven and earth. In theory, if cultivated to their ultimate extremes, any of them could grant 1 the qualification to touch the realm of Primordial Unity.
The same holds true for the Dao of Space. As the saying goes, Time is supreme, while Space reigns as king. Pursuing this path to its ultimate end leads to a supreme Great Dao that points directly to the Primordial Chaos realm.
Thus, treasures born of such rules naturally rank among the finest of all marvels, and it seems only fitting that artifacts forged from them would stand peerless among those of their rank.
At this thought, a flicker of joy arose in Eldrin’s heart. He had a premonition that once the Yin-Yang Void Realm ascended to a top-grade immortal treasure, the evolution of its internal laws would cause the 3 supernatural abilities nurtured within it to advance to the rank of orthodox-grade supernatural abilities.
"With this treasure, our chances of luring and slaying Youtai'ao have increased by severalfold."
Eldrin murmured inwardly. With a subtle shift of Yin and Yang Void, it carried him across countless billions of miles of void, returning to the depths of the Returning Abyss Sea.
As ripples stirred faintly upon the void, Eldrin returned in utter silence. Even among the ranks of the Immortal Alliance, many remained unaware that he had been absent from the Abyssal Sea for a 1000 years.
In an instant, he traversed the vast sea and arrived at the Return Abyss Sea. Though it couldn't compare to the Void Gate, its advantage lay in convenience—with a single Eldrin (Person Name), 1 could cross a distant sea.
Sensing the distance traversed through the Yin-Yang Void Realm, Eldrin nodded in satisfaction.
With this Yin Yang Void Space at his disposal, even a Ninth-Level Earth Immortal would find it an exceedingly difficult task to kill him.
With such a trump card in hand, Eldrin let go of his last lingering concern regarding the battle to lure and slay Youtai'ao.
He set aside his thoughts, found Lyra (Person Name), and said, "The time is about right. It's time we cast the bait."
"Hmm, it's about time."
Lyra nodded, her expression involuntarily turning grave.
Seeing this, Eldrin immediately summoned the immortals of the Abyssal Return Alliance to the main hall of Verdant Chariot Mountain. Within the celestial palace, the gathered immortals stood in solemn silence. A single glance across the assembly steadied Eldrin’s heart with subtle reassurance.
Over 4 1000 years have passed since the Great Calamity erupted, and the Abyssal Sea has nearly fully assimilated the gains from the previous 2 battles.
In those 2 great battles, the Abyssal Sea had vanquished foes several times their number. Nearly every immortal of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance obtained multiple Dao Origins, their gains rivaling those achieved by many Third Tribulation immortals.
It could be said that with just 100,000 years, the immortals of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance would face no bottlenecks in their cultivation until reaching the seventh or eighth tier of Ascendant Realm.
Though time was still rather pressing, most of the immortals in the Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance had now reached the middle stage of Ascendant Realm cultivation.
Apart from this, within the Immortal Alliance, there were also 7 newly-ascended immortals, all rising stars who had emerged over the past several 1000 years.
Among them, the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) accounted for 4, while the remaining 2 were descendants of Tianyu Daoren (Person Name) and Liuchen Daoren (Person Name) respectively.
The last figure was none other than Daoist Haoyuan, a disciple of Riverlord Chang. He was a testament to late-blooming genius, having cultivated for nearly 50 1000 years before finally attaining immortality.
After remaining in the Violet Realm for over 10 1000 years, he left an immortal foundation for the Riverlong Sacred Land before finally yielding to restlessness and ascending to the Elysian Realm.
During the previous great war, although the Immortal Alliance had lost several immortals, their overall strength had not diminished but instead increased. Now, with 7 more immortals added, their power has grown even more formidable.
At this thought, Eldrin declared with full confidence, "Everyone, after 2 1000 years of recuperation, we have not only restored our pre-war foundation, but our strength has also increased tremendously."
"Now the Flowing River of a 100 Seas is in utter chaos, as the Celestial Demon Sea is suffering relentless invasions from the demon tribes."
"I am prepared to mobilize a grand army to contribute to the human cause—to aid the Empty Radiance Ancient Temple in the Celestial Demon Sea and eradicate the 2 demon kings of that realm."
Upon hearing this, the immortals were momentarily taken aback.
An uninformed Immortal’s expression turned grave as he immediately asked, “Fighting far from our homeland is undoubtedly far more challenging than relying on the safety of the Abyssal Sea. Are we not taking too great a risk by doing this?”
Seeing this, Sunlight Fairy immediately chimed in with tacit understanding, "Indeed. If we were to intervene and lose the augmentation of the Cosmic Star Formation, what should we do if we encounter an ambush by Earth Immortals?"
