Chapter 1493 : Great Perfection of the Primordial Immortal Body

Heavenly Sword Peak, also known as the Heavenly Sword Summit.

This peak stood like a celestial sword, tempered by tens of millions of years of thunder and lightning, making it 1 of the finest body refinement sites in the Western Vast Spirit Abyss Sea.

Gazing upon the Heavenly Sword Peak before him, Daoist Zixuan stroked his beard with pride and declared, "My Heavenly Sword Peak allows 1 to bathe in boundless thunder for body tempering, rivaling even the 9-Layered Thunder Abyss."

"In the past, my Violet Heaven Divine Lightning Body was also perfected by relying on the power of this peak." "I believe that by tempering your body here, you will undoubtedly achieve the Great Perfection Realm in physical cultivation."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this and exclaimed in admiration, "With the aid of this peak, my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body finally has the opportunity to advance further."

At these words, Eldrin cupped his hands toward the assembly before striding up to the summit of the Heaven-Sword Peak. *RUMBLE—*

The instant Eldrin reached the summit of Heavenly Sword Peak, a formidable thunderstorm surged toward him.

An overwhelmingly powerful force of thunder struck his physical body, causing even his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body to feel a faint tingling sensation.

"The force of this strike rivals that of a late-stage Earth Immortal."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, sensing his once-unstable Primordial Immortal Body gradually refining under the baptism of thunder.

After refining a vast amount of resources, the 5 deities within the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body brimmed with increasingly abundant power, yet their rapid growth left their foundations somewhat unstable and ungrounded.

At this moment, being continuously tempered by the thunderbolts was like a piece of immortal iron forged by heavenly lightning—unbeknownst to all, it grew increasingly resilient.

Thus time flew by. Bathed in the endless tempest of thunder, Eldrin had spent 33,000 years in the blink of an eye. Then 1 day, amidst the scorching arcs of lightning, his eyes slowly opened at last.

Boom

A magnificent thunderbolt from the Ninth Heaven descended with overwhelming force, striking Eldrin’s physical form as if shattering some unseen bottleneck.

An invisible barrier shattered, and Eldrin felt as though his Primordial Indestructible Body had broken through some kind of limit, transforming into something as eternal and indestructible as primordial chaos gold.

"Great Perfection Heaven-Opening True Body!"

Eldrin murmured, a faint glimmer of amusement lighting his eyes.

At this moment, a faint golden chaos radiance shimmered across his physical form. He allowed the boundless heavenly lightning to temper his body, yet emerged completely unscathed.

He could distinctly sense that his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had reached its absolute limit; to advance any further, he would need to step into the Great Unity Realm.

Yet the power contained within the perfected realm of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was also unprecedentedly astonishing.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, relying solely on his physical strength alone, he should now be capable of contending with 3 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage. Without even activating the Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure or channeling his magic power, his combat prowess would likely be on par with Patriarch Zi Xuan's.

Even with the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron and his own cultivation base combined, Eldrin would likely remain unmatched—even if an Earth Immortal at the peak of the Eighth Heaven were to assault him with a Primordial Chaos Treasure in hand.

"Li Yan, the Divine Spirit, forged the 9 Heavens and wields the Heaven-Sundering Artifact, the 'Li Yan Celestial Lamp.' I wonder how my current combat prowess compares to his?"

Eldrin pondered inwardly. With the grand completion of his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, his physical form had become flawless and impervious, essentially placing him at the Earth Immortal realm’s late stage on the path of physical sanctification. Yet, his own magical power and the inner world of an Earth Immortal remained incomplete.

Setting aside the Earth Immortal realm and magical power, the true gap in cultivation between him and the Liyan Divine Spirit was no longer that vast.

According to the information he possessed, an existence like Daoist Zixuan who had opened 8 heavenly layers could single-handedly defeat 3 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage.

A Great Perfected Earth Immortal of the Ninth Heaven is slightly more powerful, but since both possess the foundation of 3 Heavens opened, there is no qualitative gap in their combat prowess. According to the general consensus within the Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi (Mystical Realm), the true combat strength of a single Great Perfected Earth Immortal of the Ninth Heaven should be comparable to that of 4 Great Perfected Earth Immortals.

The Flame-Severing Deity had once trespassed into forbidden realms, their combat prowess perhaps half a step beyond ordinary Ninth Heaven cultivators. It was estimated their strength could rival 5 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage.

With such combat prowess, augmented by the Eldritch Flame Celestial Lamp—a supreme treasure born at the dawn of creation—the true strength of the Flame Deity now rivaled at least 8 Earth Immortals at the peak of perfection.

As far as Eldrin knew, even the weakest Half-Step Celestial Immortal of the Sixth Heaven, once they had cultivated a single Taiji Foundation, would undergo an unprecedented qualitative transformation in combat prowess.

To contend with a Half-Step Celestial Immortal, at least 10 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage would need to join forces, merely to stand a chance in battle. "The strength of the Li Flame Divinity rivals that of a majority of a Taiyi realm expert."

"With my current strength, augmented by the Heaven-Sundering Artifact, I could likely match 6 Earth Immortals at the peak of perfection. Though there remains some disparity compared to him, I should now possess the capacity to stand against him in battle."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, aware that while his physical body was formidable, his magical power and techniques were still somewhat lacking. Though his Profound-grade divine abilities were powerful, they had not yet reached the Great Perfection realm. If he were to face the Li Fire Deity with his current strength, it would still prove insufficient.

With these thoughts in mind, Eldrin gradually withdrew his contemplations and descended from the summit of the Heavenly Sword Peak. Daoist Zixuan had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing him emerge from seclusion, the Daoist couldn't help but scrutinize him with a careful glance.

In the blink of an eye, Patriarch Zi Xuan faintly sensed an overwhelming pressure and remarked with astonishment, "Fellow Daoist, your Primordial Chaos True Body has reached perfection. It seems henceforth, even ordinary half-step Celestial Immortals would struggle to restrain you."

"Not at all, compared to a Taiyi realm expert, I still fall far short."

Eldrin shook his head, then smiled and cupped his hands in salute. "My cultivation breakthrough this time is all thanks to your willingness to assist, fellow daoist." "Between you and me, why stand on such ceremony?"

Daoist Zixuan smiled faintly, and the 2 naturally fell into courteous conversation.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Eldrin inquired further, "By my calculations, you still have over 10 1000 years before attempting the Great Unity Realm breakthrough. How are your preparations progressing?"

"All is in readiness, save for Fellow Daoist's ancient cauldron to complete the formation." Daoist Zixuan spoke slowly, his expression unconsciously revealing profound solemnity.

He sought to break through to the Great Unity Realm, and the reason he asked Eldrin for assistance was not only because of Eldrin’s formidable combat prowess but also because of the Heaven-Sundering Ancient Cauldron in his possession.

Whether it was the Crimson Dragon Ancient Cauldron or the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron, as long as 1 could use it to set up a grand formation, then combined with the supreme-grade earth vein of this Purple Mystic Blessed Land, the unleashed power would be sufficient to withstand an attack from a Half-Step Celestial Immortal.

Eldrin was well aware of this fact. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Since you aided me last time, Fellow Daoist, I shall naturally offer my full assistance on this occasion."

"I shall use the Black Dragon Ancient Cauldron as the formation's core to set up the 9 Heavens Thunder Dragon Grand Formation." Daoist Zixuan nodded slightly, then smiled. "In that case, my gratitude."

Eldrin gave a slight nod and said, "I shall first return to the Abyssal Paradise to summon a few fellow Daoists from our clan for assistance." After bidding farewell to Daoist Zixuan, Eldrin journeyed back to the depths of the Return-to-Abyss Sea.
