Chapter 1617 : Thunder Tempered Body

"Boom—"

The moment these Thunderclap Creature sensed Eldrin Chen, they erupted with boundless Slaughter aura [a palpable killing intent and destructive energy] and surged towards him to attack.

Yet, Eldrin Chen's expression remained utterly serene. He strode forward, ascending into the sky, and unleashed a single, unstoppable fist. One of the Thunderclap Creature was instantly blasted apart.

"Crackle—"

Having shattered one of the beasts with his fist, Eldrin Chen immediately felt a surge of Thunderclap Force [a violent, lightning-infused energy] coursing through his physical form. To his surprise, he detected a subtle enhancement in his bodily strength.

"Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering!"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a flicker of pleasant astonishment crossing his features.

These Thunderclap Creature were not weak. The potent Thunderclap Force they unleashed upon striking Eldrin Chen's body possessed the wondrous effect of tempering his Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique known for its near-unbreakable resilience].

Most crucially, their bodies contained traces of Thunderclap Origin [the primal source energy of thunder and lightning]. By refining this energy, Eldrin Chen could accelerate the replenishment of the Thunderclap Origin required for his Primordial One Indestructibility Body.

Eldrin Chen's heart surged with delight. Without hesitation, he strode forward, ascending into the heavens to engage in fierce combat with these Thunderclap Beings [thunder-attuned spiritual creatures].

These Thunderclap Beings were not weak. A single one could be subdued by a mere flick of Eldrin Chen's finger, yet the onslaught of hundreds and thousands of these creatures pouncing upon him still exerted considerable pressure on the cultivator.

Even so, Eldrin Chen refrained from activating the power of his Immortal Treasure [a supreme enchanted artifact] or his Divine Ability [a supreme supernatural power]. Relying solely on the might of his Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique of near-unbreakable resilience], he charged headlong into the fray, unleashing his full strength against the Thunderclap Beings.

Throughout this relentless battle, Eldrin Chen endured repeated heavy blows from the Thunderclap Beings. A deluge of Thunderclap Force [a potent energy of thunder and lightning] nearly drowned him completely.

The offensive power of these Thunderclap Beings was truly extraordinary. Each strike was comparable to a full-force assault from an Earth Immortal [a powerful immortal realm cultivator] expert. With hundreds, even thousands, joining forces, even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator on the verge of ascending to the Celestial Immortal realm] would likely be overwhelmed and slain within their midst.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen's Primordial One Indestructibility Body was profoundly extraordinary. Despite the ceaseless barrage of attacks, he never suffered a crippling injury. Instead, under the immense pressure of the myriad Thunderclap Force energies, his body grew only stronger and more refined.

"Slaughter them all!"

Time lost all meaning. After what felt like an eternity, Eldrin Chen erupted from the boundless sea of Thunderclap Force with a mighty roar. As he finally crushed the last remaining Thunderclap Being, he realized the entire expanse of this thunderous sea had been cleansed of its inhabitants by his hand alone.

Eldrin Chen surveyed the now-quiet surroundings and slowly released a long-held breath. To single-handedly shatter a horde of hundreds of Earth Immortal-realm Thunderclap Beings was a feat that even the Myriad Spirit Patriarch might not have been able to accomplish.

In this moment of clarity, he could feel it distinctly—his Primordial One Indestructibility Body had achieved a new level of flawless harmony and seamless integration. It now radiated a soft, luminous glow, infused with the very essence of Thunderclap Force.

Every fiber of his being seemed forged through countless trials, capable of shattering a vast Starry River [a metaphorical or literal celestial river of stars] with a single explosive release of power.

"The Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique of absolute resilience and unyielding power] is nearing perfection."

"If I can take just one more step and assimilate the power of the Thunderclap Origin [the primordial source essence of cataclysmic thunder], the Supreme Unity Primordial One Indestructibility Physique [the ultimate perfected form of the legendary indestructible body] should reach completion."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his gaze piercing towards the deepest heart of the Ten Directions Annihilation Sea [a perilous sea of destructive energies].

He was but a single step away from fully cultivating the Primordial One Indestructibility Body. Though the deepest reaches promised greater peril, Eldrin Chen had no reason to turn back now.

He lifted his foot and continued his advance into the Ten Directions Annihilation Sea. Unexpectedly, the inner depths seemed devoid of the Thunderclap Creature [beasts born of and dwelling within cataclysmic thunder], presenting instead an unnerving calm.

"Strange."

Puzzled, Eldrin Chen pressed onward.

He journeyed for an immeasurable time. When he finally reached the absolute core of the Ten Directions Annihilation Sea, he discovered ten islands, each radiating a different hue of Thunderclap [destructive thunderclap energy].

These ten islands were divided into 'two primaries and eight secondaries.' The two larger islands occupied the Central position, holding the place of the Polarity Supreme Polarity [the supreme principle of opposing yet complementary forces]. The eight smaller islands encircled them in the eight directions, forming the pattern of the Eight Trigrams.

After eight such cycles, they formed an incredibly profound and arcane Polarity Eight Trigrams Formation [a defensive formation based on the interplay of opposing cosmic forces]. Even to the discerning eyes of Eldrin Chen, its depths seemed unfathomable.

"This is the Ten Directions Annihilation Grand Formation [a grand formation of ultimate destructive power encompassing all directions]," he murmured.

Eldrin Chen performed a quick divination with his fingers, instantly grasping the origins of this formidable Formation [a structured arrangement of energy for defense, attack, or cultivation].

It was revealed that this Formation was an Innate [born of the primordial world, possessing supreme natural power] killing array from the Primordial Era [the mythic age of creation]. Its power was such that even an existence at the level of an Ancient Immortal Great Power [a venerable and immensely powerful immortal from ancient times] would likely perish on the spot if they tried to assault it by force.

"Who in the world," Eldrin wondered aloud, his voice filled with awe, "would lay down such a peerless grand formation here?"

His mind reeling with shock, Eldrin Chen was about to voice another thought when his gaze fell upon a stone stele at the edge of one of the ten islands. Published by audio-novel . com. All rights reserved.

Upon it was inscribed a single line of text.

From this line of ancient script, Eldrin Chen understood the provenance of these Ten Directions Annihilation Islands.

It was revealed that the Ten Directions Annihilation Sea domain was, in fact, a Path-Field [a sacred realm or testing ground left behind by a supreme cultivator to pass on their legacy] bequeathed by an ancient Immortal from the Primordial Era.

That Immortal was named the 'Annihilation Path Master'. He had pioneered the Ten Directions Annihilation Great Path [a supreme cultivation art focused on the destructive power of annihilation] and was an Innate Humans [a human born with a direct connection to primordial cosmic laws] who had attained the Ancient Immortal Realm. Furthermore, he was a close friend and confidant of Great God Vast Azure.

Later, when the Primordial Era Cataclysm erupted, not only was the Primordial Era Divine Court severely crippled, but even the Innate Humans found it impossible to remain unscathed. The Annihilation Path Master fell at the hands of a formidable foe, and before his demise, he entrusted his legacy to Great God Vast Azure.

Subsequently, Great God Vast Azure transferred the Path-Field of the Annihilation Path Master into the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, leaving it within this Ten Directions Annihilation Sea.

Any being below the Celestial Immortal realm who comes to this Ten Directions Annihilation Sea and comprehends the power of the Ten Directions Annihilation Path Principles can obtain the inheritance of the Annihilation Path Master.

Alas, the Ten Directions Annihilation Great Path is far too profound and powerful, making its comprehension exceedingly difficult. To this day, no one has truly succeeded in mastering it.

"The Innate Humans of the Primordial Era?"

"Wouldn't that make them Innate Ancient Human Race from the same era as the Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor and the Seventy-Two Human Race Sages?"

After reading the stele's inscription, Eldrin Chen could not help but feel a surge of profound astonishment.

Although the Human Race only rose to prominence in the late ancient era, and only produced its second Path Ancestor Immortal Sage three Kalpa Tribulation ago, it is nonetheless one of the earliest Innate Being in the Primordial Immortal Domain of the Universe.

The seniority of the Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor is on par with, if not surpassing, that of the Primordial Beginning Divine Sovereign.

While the Innate Humans could not be said to be born as Great Encompassing Golden Immortal, they were beings comparable to Innate Divine Spirit. The fact that the Annihilation Path Master was an Innate Humans speaks volumes about the formidable nature of his origins.

According to the inscription on the stele, Annihilation Path Master was born possessing the Innate Thunderclap Origin [the primordial source of thunder and lightning energy].

His talent was peerless and unrivaled. He simultaneously cultivated the Bulwark Earth [the essence of unyielding earth], First Wood [the essence of primordial wood], Metallic Gold [the essence of sharp, unyielding metal], Blazing Third Fire [the divine ability of the third, most intense blaze], and Positive Water Divine Thunder [the divine thunder of pure, positive water]. Furthermore, he comprehended the Frost Soul [the power of a frozen soul], Extinction Wind [the annihilating power of wind], Extinction Silence [the power of absolute stillness and cessation], Solar Sun [the supreme yang power of the sun], and the Supreme Lunar [the supreme yin power of the moon], ultimately grasping the power of ten distinct Divine Thunders.

Using this as his foundation, the Annihilation Path Master further comprehended the Ten Mysterious Grade Divine Abilities [ten divine abilities of the highest Mysterious Grade] and the Ten Directions Annihilation Grand Formation [a grand formation of annihilating power encompassing all directions], among other astonishing techniques.

Relying on these ten Slaughter Divine Ability [divine abilities of ultimate destructive power], the Annihilation Path Master's combat prowess was nearly invincible among the Ancient Immortal [powerful beings who have transcended mortality for eons].

Later, the Annihilation Path Master sought to fuse these ten Divine Thunders into one, thereby creating the Great Path of Ten Directions Annihilation Divine Thunder [the supreme cultivation art of divine thunder that annihilates all directions].

The power of the ten Divine Thunders was too terrifying; fusing them would inevitably cause a qualitative transformation. If this endeavor succeeded, the Annihilation Path Master might even have had the potential to reach the realm of a Path Ancestor Immortal Sage [a supreme being who has mastered a fundamental cosmic principle and attained sagehood].

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed. Merging the power of ten Path Principle [fundamental cosmic principles] was far too arduous. In the end, his efforts fell just short, and he failed to cultivate the Great Path [the supreme cultivation art].

Because he failed to cultivate the Ten Directions Annihilation Great Path [the great path of annihilating all directions], the Annihilation Path Master remained forever at the Ancient Immortal Realm [the realm of ancient immortals] and, to his great regret, perished within a Path Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial faced when advancing one's cultivation path].

"According to the ancient stele, these ten Immortal Isles [floating islands imbued with immortal energy] contain records of ten Divine Ability [supernatural powers] that are at or above the Mysterious Grade [a high rank denoting profound mystery and power]."

"Among them, the two Divine Ability related to the Supreme Lunar and the Solar Sun are even supreme Slaughter Divine Ability of the Patriarch Level [a level of power comparable to a Path Ancestor]." Join our community of readers at audio novel.com.
