Chapter 1486 : Nether Miasma

The Netherdragon Emperor roared in agony, writhing through the boundless starry expanse.

Upon his physical form, the boundless power of the apocalyptic thunder tribulation dao principles was annihilating all existence.

Had it been at the peak of his power, the Netherdrake Emperor might have forcibly suppressed the injury from such a strike.

If the Netherdragon Emperor had cultivated the methods of the immortal realms, creating boundless cosmic realms, he might have relied on his severalfold vaster spiritual power to forcibly suppress this force of Dao principles.

But now, with his already grievous wounds compounded by the fatal strike from the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, he could no longer suppress the boundless power of the Dao principles.

It tumbled through the starry expanse for a long while, but in the end, its primordial spirit was utterly annihilated by the boundless thunder tribulation dao principles, falling forever among the stars.

Hah

With a single sword strike, Eldrin slew the Netherdragon Emperor and exhaled deeply.

He had brought out the Taiji Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword merely as a precaution, never truly intending to wield it. Yet, unexpectedly, it became the most crucial lifeline.

At this thought, a wave of exhaustion washed over him, nearly causing him to lose his footing in the void. Lyra (Person Name) quickly steadied him and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Seeing this, Qing Ji Qu and several dao companions including Seraphina Qu immediately understood that Eldrin was in an extremely weakened state. They swiftly moved to form a protective circle around him. "It's nothing serious," he explained. "This single strike merely drained all my magical power and nearly half the primordial essence from my Inner Cosmos."

Eldrin spoke slowly, a bitter smile gracing his lips.

The might of this Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss is indeed formidable, capable of severely wounding a Half-Step Celestial Immortal with a single Taiyi foundation in 1 strike. Yet, the energy required to activate it is far too immense.

Eldrin now possessed cultivation comparable to a Perfected Earth Immortal, having opened a full 13 heavenly realms within him. Yet even with such power, wielding this sword would drain him completely after a single strike.

Moreover, after unleashing this single strike, he had not only completely drained his magical power in an instant, but had also consumed nearly half of the World Origin within his body.

To replenish this depleted Primordial Essence of Heaven and Earth, 1 would likely need to refine 30 vials of Galaxy Starfall Elixir (Pills), or alternatively procure a specialized eighth-grade superior-tier Spirit Replenishment Pill (Pills) dedicated to restoring foundational energy.

Upon hearing this, Lyra took out several Grade-8 Immortal Pills for Eldrin to refine, then said with immense concern, "Your energy depletion is so severe—you should restore your cultivation first before anything else."

"Hmm."

Eldrin hastily swallowed several immortal pills, immediately feeling his depleted mana and vital essence recover slightly, his combat power vaguely restoring by a few degrees.

It was only then that the Lord of the Ancient Ruins cautiously approached, gazing with awe at the Great Primordial Thunder Abyss Sword of Myriad Tribulations. "Had it not been for your single sword-strike that slew the dragon today, Fellow Daoist, we would likely have suffered a grave setback."

Elder Tianyuan also nodded, his voice filled with boundless envy. "I never imagined you actually possess the Taiyi Immortal Blade, Fellow Daoist."

You must understand, within the Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi (Mystical Realm), aside from the bygone Yè Xū Shén Jūn (Divine Monarch) and Wàn Líng Lǎo Zǔ (Ancestral Sage), only a handful of Half-Step Celestial Immortals possessed such treasures.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin’s expression turned exceedingly grave as he said, “Such a Taiyi Immortal Artifact is far too precious—even a top-tier Half-Step Celestial Immortal with dual Dao Fruits would covet it.”

"If word of my possession of this item were to leak, it would surely bring about a cataclysmic disaster."

"Therefore, I hope you can all keep this confidential for me, and remember—this information must not spread."

Upon hearing this, the group nodded with utmost solemnity. The Eldrin of the Ancient Abyss spoke, "Every individual participating in today's battle must swear a Heavenly Oath—this information must not be divulged."

"In addition, all Immortals, Deities, and Ghost Immortals who participated in the battle must seal away all memories related to this conflict. Only when you grant permission 1 day may these seals be lifted."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod upon hearing this.

This method is indeed a brilliant solution, but Immortals no longer dwell within the mortal realm. To seal their memories, 1 must first ensure they offer no resistance themselves.

He then turned his gaze to the assembled immortals and deities, inquiring, "Regarding the words spoken by the Lord of the Ancient Ruins, are you willing to consent?" Upon hearing this, the immortals nodded slightly and replied, "We have no objections."

"Good."

Eldrin nodded slightly, first storing away the bones of the Primordial Netherdrake, then proceeding to seal the memories of the gathered immortals and deities. After completing these tasks, he directed the assembly to cleanse the battlefield before withdrawing into the supreme blessed realm.

Deep within that supreme blessed land, Eldrin discovered an ancient, shadowy pool and an aura of profound darkness.

Nether Miasma.

The moment he caught sight of this aura, Eldrin couldn’t help but exclaim in pleasant surprise.

Back in the Day of the Violet Flame Paradise, Eldrin obtained a scroll titled "The Alchemical Codex of the Grand Mystery," which recorded 2 supreme eighth-rank pill formulas: the "Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill" and the "Pill of the Golden Immortal Form of the Great Unity."

Between these 2 pill formulas, consuming the Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object) enables 1 to commune with the celestial Dao of the immortal realm, thereby gaining insight into the legendary power of the Taiji Dao Principles.

The Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object) requires 2 primary ingredients: the Pure Qi of Heavenly Yang and the Turbid Qi of Nether Darkness. Among these, the Pure Qi of Heavenly Yang originates from the heavenly essence of the celestial realm's primordial Dao, and only a Celestial Immortal of profound power possesses the ability to gather it.

'Nether Miasma' is its polar opposite, born from the primordial essence of the Netherworld—a supreme substance nurtured at the very end of the Netherrealm.

These 2 treasures were both of immeasurable value. Even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, without sufficient destiny, might expend tremendous costs yet fail to obtain even 1 of them.

Eldrin (Person Name) had actually managed to locate the "Netherworld Turbid Qi (Cultivation Resource)"—truly, his destiny was immense.

At this thought, Eldrin declared without the slightest hesitation, "This Nether Miasma is of great use to me. I intend to keep it for refining immortal pills in the future. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

The Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins chuckled heartily, "You contributed the most in this battle, fellow Daoist. This treasure rightfully belongs to you." Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and stored away the Turbid Yin Aura (Netherworld Energy).

Before long, the group had thoroughly combed through this blessed land and gathered within a grand hall.

In the grand hall, Eldrin sat facing the various Earth Immortals. After handing them a ledger, he declared, "These are the spoils and treasures acquired from this battle. Let us discuss how to distribute the 32,000 spirit stones and countless magical artifacts."

Hearing this, everyone revealed faint smiles.

They each took the ledger, and after just 1 glance, their faces lit up with ecstasy.

In this great tribulation, they completely seized the Netherworld Microcosm. 1 must understand that this represented the wealth of an entire microcosm—even if it was merely the Netherworld Microcosm, the treasures contained within were utterly staggering.

Among the treasures they obtained, the number of Nether Ghost Treasures alone reached over a 100 1000.

20 10,000-grade Nether Immortal Herbs, along with various types of Incense Divine Silver and special spiritual materials, were by no means a small quantity. The combined total of eighth-rank Nether Ghost Treasures, eighth-rank Rare Treasures, and eighth-rank Immortal Herbs amounted to over 2,000 items.

Among the most precious Eighth-rank treasures were 2 in particular: the Abyssal Pearl and the Nether Miasma.
