Chapter 1716 : The Unbreakable Vessel

By this point in the great battle, even formidable figures like Solaris, the Golden Crow and Verdant Sun Imperial Son felt a tide of despair rising within their hearts.

The reason was simple: Eldrin Chen's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was overwhelmingly powerful. His Physical Body was forged into an indestructible vessel, further tempered by the infusion of five strands of Innate Qi [the primordial energy inherent to all things]. Its might now approached that of a Perfected Celestial Immortal True Body [the ultimate physical form of a perfected Celestial Immortal] from the Late Heaven Immortal Realm.

Such a resilient Physical Body possessed immense resistance to all manner of exotic energies. Augmented by the Innate Primordial Limitless Dao Principle, it had reached a state of near-immortality and indestructibility, capable of withstanding the chaos of Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation].

In essence, unless confronted by an existence beyond the Great Perfection Celestial Immortal Realm, one capable of utterly crushing Eldrin Chen's Physical Body with absolute, overwhelming force...

...even beings of the Late Heaven Immortal Realm would find it exceedingly difficult to slay the present Eldrin Chen.

The sole method to truly eradicate Eldrin Chen would require a great power from the Late Heaven Immortal Realm to take action. They would need to employ a Top Grade Innate Ancient Furnace [a supreme-tier innate artifact of immense refining power] to slowly, meticulously burn away Eldrin Chen's Primordial Source [the foundational life-force and essence of a cultivator] until it was utterly exhausted. Only then, by targeting the vulnerability of his Nascent Soul Dao Fruit [the coalesced core of a cultivator's power and soul at the Nascent Soul stage], could he be completely annihilated.

Otherwise, even several opponents of comparable combat prowess joining forces could not inflict fatal wounds upon Eldrin Chen.

As the relentless clash continued, merely three hundred exchanges later, the two found themselves thoroughly overwhelmed.

Despite unleashing their ultimate trump cards, employing Profound Divine Ability [mystical powers of immense depth and complexity] and various ancient treasures in combat, they remained entrenched in absolute disadvantage.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the peerless Heaven's Chosen from the Demon and God Races could no longer remain seated on the sidelines.

Amidst the chaotic melee, Five-Colored Immortal Phoenix and Zhu Yan Imperial Son were blocked by Ethereal Void Holy Son and others, unable to intervene. However, several Forbidden Prodigy managed to break free from their entanglements and charged forward to join the fray.

In a Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time], three Forbidden Prodigy from the Divine Race and the Demonic Tribe joined forces, unleashing an unstoppable, razor-sharp pressure to suppress their target.

"Hmph—"

Facing the assault of several powerful foes, Eldrin Chen remained utterly unperturbed, his expression unchanged.

The combined might of three Forbidden Prodigy would give even a peerless genius of the Twelve Calamities realm pause for thought. Yet, Eldrin Chen maintained a profound and unshakable calm.

With the Celestial Halberd in hand, he repelled Solaris, the Golden Crow. In the same fluid motion, with a flick of his sleeve, the Yin-Yang Twin Resplendent Sword Rays shot forth.

The twin sword rays intertwined and instantly fused into a single, dazzling beam of Sword Qi [a concentrated blade of energy formed from a cultivator's will and power]. It cleaved through the void, aimed directly at the Forbidden Imperial Sons of the Divine Race.

"*Clang!*—"

In that fleeting moment, the ultimate sharpness of the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords Union pierced through the boundless Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], displaying a world-shaking divine might capable of severing all things.

The Divine RaceImperial Son [a prince of a divine lineage] channeled his Innate Treasure [a treasure born from the fundamental principles of the world] to block, yet it was pierced through in an instant. His Bodyguard Supreme Treasure [his paramount defensive artifact] was shattered, and he was cleaved in two on the spot, his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] utterly extinguished.

"Disaster!"

Witnessing his companion's death, another Divine RaceImperial Son was seized by terror and immediately sought to flee.

But in that same moment, a dazzling blade-light tore across the heavens, annihilating his Physical Body [the corporeal form of a cultivator] on the spot.

"Flee, now!"

The last survivor wore a mask of utter despair. Facing the present Eldrin Chen, even as a figure of Forbidden Imperial Sons [Imperial Sons who have reached the pinnacle of power, comparable to the strongest prodigies] caliber, he felt an overwhelming sense of hopelessness.

All present were astounded. Any single Forbidden Imperial Sons possessed combat power rivaling an Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the initial stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation realm].

That Eldrin Chen could now slay an Early Celestial Immortal Realm in an instant meant his ultimate offensive prowess was already comparable to a sixth-layer Heaven Immortal [the cultivation realm above Celestial Immortal] Innate Divine Spirit [a being born from primordial chaos, possessing immense innate power].

"Perish!"

And so it was. Eldrin Chen unleashed his full might. He used the Earth-Fortress Sovereign Bell to withstand the assaults of Solaris, the Golden Crow and Verdant Sun Imperial Son, then, fueled by his Innate Magical Power [the innate mystical energy within a cultivator], he unleashed the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme divine thunder technique harmonizing the five elements and pure yang energy].

In a single Ksana-time [an infinitesimal unit of time from Buddhist cosmology, less than a second], the Half-Step Patriarch Grade Divine Ability manifested once more within the Immortal Domain. A blindingly brilliant arc of Five-Colored Divine Thunder cleaved the firmament, descending with annihilating force upon the final foe.

"My life ends here!"

In that fleeting moment, the third Forbidden Prodigy desperately activated a Void-piercing secret treasure, attempting to rend the fabric of space itself to flee.

Alas, under the suppression of the Yin-Yang Lunar Mansions Heaven-Sealing Grand Formation, even an Innate-grade Void-piercing treasure could not tear open an escape route. He could only watch helplessly as the Five-Colored Divine Thunder shattered the air before him, reducing his form to scattered ashes on the spot.

"This battle... is lost."

High above in Void Heaven, Solaris, the Golden Crow witnessed this scene and murmured to himself. For more chapters, visit www . audio-novel.com for the complete novel.

A moment later, a fierce light ignited within his pupils as he fixed a deathly stare upon Eldrin Chen. "Then let us fight to our utmost limits," he declared.

With those words, Solaris, the Golden Crow stepped forward through the void.

In that instant, his Physical Body blazed with intense heat, radiating peerless golden brilliance like a miniature Golden Sun.

"Beware! It is the 'Ultimate Ascent Art' of the Supreme Yang lineage!"

Above Void Heaven [a celestial realm or domain], Qiang Sun witnessed this scene, his expression turning profoundly grave as he spoke.

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen furrowed his brow slightly. The ultimate sublimation art of the Supreme Yang [Supreme Sun] lineage was precisely a life-forging gambit of the Golden Crow Clan [a clan associated with the mythical sun-birds].

The principle behind activating this technique was akin to a Supreme Yang [Supreme Sun] star, pregnant with boundless energy, unleashing the power accumulated over countless eons in a single instant, transforming into the most dazzling supernova explosion.

Once this method was initiated, it entered an irreversible process.

It would incinerate the cultivator's foundation, their Deep-Seated Foundation [the profound and stable base of one's cultivation], their vital Qi and blood, and even their Divine Soul [the spiritual core of a being], all in exchange for a brief, peerless surge of power.

After the battle, regardless of victory or defeat, Solaris, the Golden Crow would vanish like the most brilliant firework.

"Come, fight!"

In that moment, Solaris, the Golden Crow gripped his Solar Divine Spear [a divine spear imbued with solar power] and thrust forward, charging at Eldrin Chen with overwhelming force.

Their clash lasted but an instant. Eldrin Chen immediately felt a torrent of divine might assail him, a pressure so immense it was staggering.

"Such astonishing power."

"Truly worthy of being called an ultimate sublimation art."

Eldrin Chen felt an immense gravity in his heart. At this moment, he could sense that Solaris, the Golden Crow's body contained a divine power unprecedented, like an ancient Primordial Era sun from the dawn of time exploding with inexhaustible energy.

Were it not for the extraordinary strength of his Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique, even a Mid Celestial Immortal Realm Innate Divine Spirit would likely have had their Innate Physique torn asunder on the spot.

Facing Solaris, the Golden Crow in such a state, the wisest course would be to disengage and evade.

For after his ultimate sublimation, although Solaris, the Golden Crow had gained unprecedented power, he could not sustain it for long before his Soul Spirits and Primordial Source [the foundational life-force of a cultivator] would be utterly consumed, leading to his eventual disintegration into dust.

Yet within the grand formation, besides Eldrin Chen, there were many other Human Race Heaven's Chosen [prodigies favored by destiny]. If Eldrin Chen retreated now, the others would stand no chance against Solaris, the Golden Crow.

Thus, in an instant, Eldrin Chen made his decision.

"Since retreat is not an option,"

"Then I shall grant you this ultimate battle!"

His resolve solidified in a flash. Surging with peerless fighting spirit, Eldrin Chen gripped the Chaos Heaven Halberd and met Solaris, the Golden Crow head-on.

A battle of unparalleled brilliance erupted atop the Ethereal Void Mountain Range, where Eldrin Chen and Solaris, the Golden Crow clashed like two primordial Supreme Yang [the ultimate principle of the sun and masculine energy] stars, unleashing a radiance of unprecedented, searing intensity.

With each exchange, boundless divine power cascaded across the vast expanse, every wisp possessing the force to shatter the heavens themselves.

The ferocious duel raged for over three thousand exchanges, pushing Eldrin Chen to the point where his Mana [the spiritual energy used to fuel magical arts] was utterly depleted, forcing him to rely solely on the reinforcement of his Dao Principles [the fundamental laws of cultivation one has comprehended] to bolster his Physical Body [a cultivator's body, tempered and strengthened through cultivation] in the desperate struggle.

The divine might displayed by Solaris, the Golden Crow was truly astonishing, a sight never before witnessed. Yet, such a technique, which incinerated the very foundation of his cultivation body, could only grant a fleeting moment of ultimate glory. Your portal to cultivation novels: audio–novel.com.
