Chapter 1488 : Ancient Dragon Pearl
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, the Nether Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins gave a slight nod. This Netherworld Immortal Herb, valued at 30 million Immortal Sources, was split 50-50 between him and the Abyssal Daoist. If divided equally between the 2, each would receive resources worth 7,500,000 Immortal Sources.
This amount of Immortal Source could purchase 70-5 bottles of Galaxial Starfall Elixirs, sufficient to cultivate 2 individuals to the Great Perfection stage of Earth Immortal realm. Refining a single bottle of Galaxial Starfall Elixir would require nearly 8 1000 years of dedicated effort. Currently, there remained 6 100 90 1000 years until the next Heavenly Tribulation's descent.
After obtaining these resources, the 2 of them theoretically should have been able to cultivate to the Great Perfection stage of the Earth Immortal realm before the next Heavenly Tribulation. Of course, breaking through the 7th and 9th levels of the Earth Immortal realm each presented a significant bottleneck. Although their foundations gave them absolute confidence in overcoming these barriers, it would still require hundreds of thousands of years of refining their spiritual power.
Moreover, achieving mastery in both the Primordial Chaos True Body and the Primordial Chaos Laws—let alone cultivating Primordial Chaos supernatural abilities and magical treasures—would require a staggering amount of resources.
Therefore, to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm, they still needed to make some preparations and acquire treasures that could help them break through their bottlenecks.
However, no matter what, with this windfall and the several Grade 8, top-grade exotic treasures they had received, the 2 of them should have no major issues cultivating to the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal realm.
Especially the Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins, who not only obtained a vast quantity of treasures but also received a share of the most precious Chaos Primordial Treasure, making his gains truly immense.
Seeing the 2 agree, Eldrin gave a slight nod before turning his attention to a unique treasure recorded in the list.
Primordial Netherdragon.
Observing the materials of the Primordial Netherdragon, Eldrin’s heart stirred faintly as a subtle smile graced his lips.
The greatest gain from this battle, aside to the Nether Yin Miasma and the Abyssal Pearl, was none other than this Primordial Nether Dragon.
The true dragon was inherently a treasure trove in itself, its materials far more precious than those of demonic beasts of the same rank. This Primordial Netherdragon before him, which had cultivated a Taiyi Immortal Body, represented an unprecedented fortune for Eldrin (Person Name).
After a preliminary sorting, Eldrin discovered that the dismembered Primordial Netherdragon had yielded 6 exceptionally precious materials. They were: the Primordial Dragon Pearl, the Netherdragon's Reverse Scale, the Primordial Netherdragon Bone, the Netherdragon Flesh and Blood, the Netherdragon Horns, and the Primordial Dragon Eyes.
Among these treasures, only the Dragon Pearl and the Reverse Scale had fully reached the peak of Eighth Rank. The others, while not attaining the pinnacle of Eighth Rank, had still surpassed the upper-tier of Eighth Rank.
For instance, the flesh and blood of the Netherdragon were exceptionally extraordinary. According to Eldrin's estimation, they could be divided and refined into 3 furnaces of 6 Revolutions Immortal Pills, with quality far surpassing that of ordinary flesh from Earth Immortal Perfection realm demonic cultivators.
At this thought, Eldrin mused thoughtfully, "Everyone, let us divide the Ancient Nether Dragon among ourselves.
The Ancient Ruins Yin Lord shook his head upon hearing this and immediately responded, "Brother Guixu contributed the most in this battle, and your Chen Clan shouldered 90-8 percent of the credit. How could we dare claim such a treasure?"
"Indeed." Daoist Tianyuan nodded, then remarked with deep emotion, "9 late-stage Earth Immortals within a single clan, along with 2 at the Great Perfection realm and 2 Heaven-Sundering Supreme Treasures."
"The 2 of us combined contributed less than 10 percent of your Chen Clan's efforts. Having already received a considerable share of treasures, how could we possibly have the audacity to lay claim to such an artifact?"
Eldrin's brow twitched almost imperceptibly at those words.
In this battle, the Chen Clan dispatched 9 Earth Immortal Elders. The combat prowess of Kael (Person Name), Chen Ethan (Person Name), and others was no less formidable than that of Abyssal Heaven and Ancient Ruins.
It could be said that in this assault on the Netherworld Microcosm, if battle merits were to be calculated separately, Eldrin's single sword strike that annihilated the Primordial Netherdragon would account for a full 70 percent of the credit.
With her late-stage Earth Immortal cultivation, Lyra (Person Name) wielded the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron (Magic Treasure) to repeatedly withstand the assaults of the Abyssal Sea Pearl (Magic Treasure), accounting for approximately 20 percent of the overall contribution. The remaining 10 percent was nearly evenly distributed among the 10 combatants possessing seventh-level Earth Immortal strength.
If we set aside the Yin Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins discovering the Netherworld Microcosm, the Chen Clan's claim of taking 90-9 percent of the credit might be an exaggeration—but 90-8 percent would be far closer to the truth.
In the previous distribution, the Nether Sovereign of the Ancient Ruins obtained the Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure, the Abyssal Sea Pearl.
In the past, to acquire the Eightfold Celestial Dragon Scroll, Daoist 7 Mysteries expended over 30 million immortal sources, yet that scroll was merely a single-rune Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure.
The Abyssal Pearl before him was a 3 Rune Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, its value at least twice that of the Eightfold Celestial Dragon Diagram.
It could be said that, excluding the unforeseen Primordial Netherdrake, the value of this treasure alone accounted for 40 percent of the total gains.
Although the Nether Miasma (Eldrin) was precious, it was ultimately just a single material, its value not even half that of this 3-patterned Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure.
"It is indeed about time."
Eldrin pondered silently for a moment before speaking, "Regardless, all of you contributed when we slew the Ancient Netherdrake. It's only right that you receive a share."
"In that case, the horn and eye of the Primordial Netherdrake shall be bestowed upon you 2."
Hearing this, the 2 felt a slight stir in their hearts. The value of these 2 treasures, even if not comparable to a Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure, was at least equivalent to half of 1.
They repeatedly declined, but ultimately accepted the 2 treasures.
After the 2 had taken their treasures, Eldrin collected the remaining few items.
Among the remaining treasures, the Primordial Netherdrake Bone could serve as the foundation for forging an ancient vessel of Heaven-Sundering Artifact grade. He intended to use it as the core framework to construct an Ark of Primordial Ascent, preparing for his impending Heavenly Tribulation of Dao.
The Primordial Dragon Pearl was to be refined by Eldrin into an External Elixir, intended to empower the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.
The Netherdrake's Reverse Scale is excellent material for forging a supreme Heaven-Sundering Immortal Sword. However, crafting this treasure requires vast quantities of resources as supplementary materials.
The last of the Netherdragon's flesh and blood would naturally be used to refine the 6-Revolutions Golden Elixir.
In addition, there were some dragon scales and hides that could be refined into armor and precious talismans—these too were exceptionally valuable treasures. After distributing these treasures, Eldrin felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.
Eldrin glanced at the vast Yin Small Universe and spoke, "Within this Yin Small Universe, there are billions of ancient stars. I intend to harness their stellar power to set up a formation."
Everyone had anticipated this outcome, yet when the news was confirmed, solemn expressions still clouded their faces.
Lyra (Person Name) pondered briefly before asking, "What kind of formation do you intend to set up?"
Eldrin rose to his feet, gazing at the power of hundreds of millions of stars, and declared, "With the countless stars of the entire Styx Galaxy and over 100,000 Netherworld Supreme Treasures, we shall construct a grand formation."
"This formation uses the Abyssal Pearl as its core, channeling the boundless power of the stars from the entire nether cosmos to withstand assaults from multiple half-step Celestial Immortals."
Hearing this, the expressions of the group shifted slightly. Daoist Tianyuan let out a sigh and remarked, "Such a super-complex formation would likely prove impenetrable even for a Celestial Immortal expert within a short timeframe."
