Chapter 1589 : The Unseen Sword of Void

"Not good!"

In that instant, Golden Spirit Holy Scion'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 Grade 'Primordial Unity Void Cosmos Sword Energy'.

This Primordial Unity Void Cosmos Sword Energy was an exceedingly rare spatial-type Divine Ability. Once activated, its sword energy 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 Scion tried to flee for his life, a strand of sword energy swept across his waist. His supposedly indestructible Immortality Saint Body was instantly severed into two halves.

"Aaaargh—!"

Following a wretched scream, Golden Spirit Holy Scion was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth, clutching the remaining half of his physical form as he hurtled into the depths of the void.

Eldrin Chen did not pursue. He understood clearly that a direct disciple of a Great Encompassing sect like this would undoubtedly have a Celestial Immortal Great Power-level existence backing him.

Bound by the unspoken rule that Celestial Immortal [powerful immortals who have ascended to a higher celestial realm] do not intervene against Earth Immortal [immortals anchored to the earthly realm], such beings generally refrain from meddling in the conflicts of juniors. However, if he were to press for a killing blow, the other side would unlikely hold back.

Having defeated Golden Spirit Holy Scion in a single move, both Myriad Blossoms Celestial Maiden and Severing Heaven's Spine paled drastically. The two hastily retreated a great distance, withdrawing completely from the battlefield. Enjoyed this chapter? Read more at audio-novel.com.

"The Art of Weapon Manifestation [a divine ability to materialize weapons from one's will], the Slaughter [a divine ability of absolute annihilation] of the Void."

Severing Heaven's Spine could not help but glance at Eldrin Chen and, drawing a deep breath, said, "Who exactly are you, sir, to possess such a Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power] of Void Slaughter?"

Eldrin Chen offered no answer, merely stating with detached calm, "Do you still wish to fight?"

"You jest, young master," said the Myriad Blossoms Celestial Maiden with a light laugh. "If profound Divine Ability were to be ranked, the Void Slaughter would stand at the very pinnacle of the highest tier. We are no match for you."

The Myriad Blossoms Celestial Maiden smiled faintly as she continued. Within the Three Thousand Immortal Domains [the collective name for the myriad immortal realms], Mysterious Grade [a classification denoting profound and obscure power] Void Slaughter Divine Ability are exceedingly rare. Having never witnessed this particular power before, they surmised it must have been created by some Great Encompassing Immortal Lord [an immortal lord of immense power and comprehension].

That Eldrin Chen had cultivated such a Divine Ability led her to believe he was likely the heir of a top-tier Great Encompassing Ancient Sect [an ancient sect of immense legacy and power].

Severing Heaven's Spine also nodded in agreement. "Since Fellow Daoist is unwilling to reveal your identity, I shall not press further," he said.

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

With those words, both Severing Heaven's Spine and the Myriad Blossoms Celestial Maiden departed, leaving Eldrin Chen alone upon the First Wood Blessed Land [a land blessed with the essence of primordial wood].

Meanwhile, high upon the Heavenly Vault [the celestial firmament], three figures stood facing one another, their gazes calmly fixed upon the retreating back of Eldrin Chen as he entered the Blessed Land [a land imbued with potent spiritual fortune].

The cultivation bases of these three individuals were unfathomably profound; they were the Celestial Immortal Great Power [powerful beings who have ascended to the celestial realm] standing behind figures like Severing Heaven's Spine and the other two.

After this moment, a female immortal from the Myriad Blossoms Ancient Sect inquired, "Have you discerned his origins?"

"I have not been able to deduce them."

The Celestial Immortal Great Power from the Azure Firmament Ancient Sect shook his head, his expression placid as he stated, "Even with the Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the primordial chaos of heaven and earth] 'Celestial Mechanism Chart', I could not glimpse his background. It seems the ancient sect behind him must possess an Innate Spiritual Treasure [a supreme spiritual treasure of innate origin] to suppress its Fortune [the collective destiny and luck of a lineage]."

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

The Celestial Immortal Great Power from the Golden Spirit Clan spoke, his expression turning grave. "Observing that Primordial Unity Adamantine War Halberd, it is likely this person is one who emerged from the Small Universe [a self-contained pocket dimension or microcosm] long ago."

"To depart without a trace under the watchful eyes of so many Celestial Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the celestial realm], he must have an Ancient Immortal [an immortal from a bygone era of immense power] guarding his path. He undoubtedly hails from a top-tier Great Encompassing Ancient Sect."

"For such an Ancient Immortal to conceal his identity suggests a grander scheme is afoot. If we were to force him out and disrupt his plans, we might inadvertently invite calamity upon ourselves."

"Enough. There is no need for us to antagonize a force of that magnitude. It is merely one Earth Vein [a terrestrial ley line concentrating spiritual energy]. We shall simply select another."

With those words, the three Celestial Immortal Great Power each departed.

Only after the three had departed did Eldrin Chen feel an invisible pressure lift, and a profound sense of relief washed over him.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the First Wood Blessed Land [a realm of immense spiritual power aligned with the Wood element], beginning to take stock of the gains from this expedition.

Soon, Eldrin Chen had finished inventorying the resources within the First Wood Blessed Land, discovering he had acquired several precious Immortal Artifact [powerful enchanted objects forged by immortals].

Within this First Wood Blessed Land, aside from the Blessed Land [a spiritually rich and auspicious realm] itself, the only item that truly caught Eldrin Chen's eye was a single Top Grade World-Opening Marvel [a supreme-grade treasure born at the dawn of a world's creation].

This rare treasure was named the 'First Wood Primordial Essence' [the primordial essence of the Wood element, born from this blessed land]. It could be used to refine elixirs or as a supreme treasure for cultivating Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power or technique].

Eldrin Chen's 'Primordial One Energy' [the unified primordial energy of creation] Divine Ability had already been deduced by him to the Half-Step Patriarch Level [a realm just below that of a full Patriarch]. However, to cultivate it to completion, he still needed to gather five supreme World-Opening [pertaining to the dawn of creation] essences: First Wood [Wood essence], Bulwark Earth [Earth essence], Positive Water [Water essence], Solar Fire [Fire essence], and Metallic Gold [Metal essence].

Over the years, the Chen Immortal Clan had continuously searched and had already gathered three of these essences: Bulwark Earth, Solar Fire, and Metallic Gold. They only needed to find the Positive Water essence to elevate this Divine Ability to the Half-Step Patriarch Level.

With Eldrin Chen's current cultivation base, comparable to a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a realm just below that of a true Celestial Immortal], the power he could unleash by activating a Mysterious Grade Divine Ability [a divine ability of profound and mysterious grade] was already on par with a Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [an immortal weapon of the Primordial Unity realm].

If he could cultivate the Primordial One Energy to the Half-Step Patriarch Level, its power would undoubtedly undergo an unprecedented qualitative transformation.

From Eldrin Chen's knowledge, if a Half-Step Patriarch Level Divine Ability were cultivated to perfection and wielded by an Ancient Immortal [an immortal from ancient times], the power unleashed could even rival that of an Innate Ancient Treasure [a treasure born with the world itself], far surpassing ordinary Upper Grade Innate Treasure [high-grade innate treasures].

Such a supreme Divine Ability [a supreme mystical technique], even if Eldrin Chen's cultivation base was far from sufficient to unleash its full might, would undoubtedly surpass the power of a Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [a weapon forged at the Primordial Unity Immortal realm].

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

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately began refining this Supreme Grade Blessed Land [a land of supreme spiritual fortune].

This time, with no demonic energy to interfere, Eldrin Chen's refinement of the Blessed Land [a land imbued with spiritual fortune] proceeded at a significantly faster pace.

In merely eight thousand years, he had completely refined this Blessed Land.

Once the Blessed Land was fully refined, Eldrin Chen felt the Five Divine Deities [the Five Divine Deities technique] within him erupt with a brilliant, intense radiance.

Within his Five Viscera [the five vital organs], the deities of the Crimson Emperor, the Yellow Emperor, the White Emperor, and the Black Emperor blazed with dazzling light. As boundless primordial essence surged into his liver, the divine form of the Verdant Emperor grew increasingly resplendent.

As the Five Emperors achieved equilibrium, their five distinct powers merged and intertwined. This fusion caused the Chaos Mist [the primordial mist of chaos] within him to swell and thicken dramatically, multiplying severalfold in the blink of an eye.

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

"My physical strength seems to have undergone a profound, ultimate transformation,"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his gaze radiating a faint aura of Primordial Chaos Energy [the primordial, undifferentiated energy from which all creation emerged].

In this moment, he felt his physical power was sufficient to rend a Golden-Winged Great Roc [a legendary avian demon beast of immense size and power] with his bare hands, capable of pulverizing a half-step Celestial Immortal Great Power [a cultivator who has partially ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm] into dust.

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

With the Five Elements Origin [the primordial source essence of the five fundamental elements] now fully integrated, his Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable and eternal] had undergone a qualitative metamorphosis, truly stepping into the Primordial Unity Realm [the foundational stage of the Primordial Unity cultivation path].

Although he had only just entered this realm and had not yet tempered his body with the three Earth Vein [powerful, concentrated spiritual energy currents found deep within the earth] of Wind Ice Thunder [the elemental forces of wind, ice, and thunder], thus not achieving a state of flawless perfection, it could already be called a true Supreme Unity Primordial One Indestructibility Physique [the perfected, supreme form of the Primordial One Indestructibility Body].

Having reached this level, Eldrin Chen could contend with a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the cusp of the Celestial Immortal realm] who possessed a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation [a cultivation foundation built upon two aspects of Primordial Unity] using only his raw physical strength, without even activating his various Divine Ability [supernatural powers granted by advanced cultivation] or his magical power.

"If I augment this with my Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon [an immortal-grade weapon forged for the Primordial Unity realm] and Divine Ability, my combat prowess should at least rival that of two cultivators with a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation."

Eldrin Chen whispered to himself, a glint of confidence flashing in his eyes. Access the full story on audio-novel*com.
