Chapter 1536 : Mortal Body to Taiyi

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly inquired, "Please, do tell."

The Heavenly Dao Consciousness spoke unhurriedly, then stated calmly, "The key to breaking the deadlock lies within the Netherworld Microcosm."

"You mean?"

A glint flashed in Eldrin's eyes as if he had thought of something.

The light of the Heavenly Dao shimmered faintly as it responded with certainty, "You have been weaving your schemes in the Netherworld Universe for over 2 100 1000 years. Countless formation patterns have been carved across endless minor universes."

"The essence of the Netherworld Universe, though accounting for merely 10 percent of the entire cosmos, constitutes the indispensable other half of the whole."

"If you further refine the power of the formation patterns, you could temporarily halt the Extraplanar Ancient Demons at a critical moment."

"As long as we slay the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation of that ancient Outer Realm Demon within this period, the entire situation will naturally be completely reversed."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

He never could have imagined that the layout within this Netherworld Microcosm would ultimately become the final trump card against the Outer Realm Demonic Gods.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke up: "I understand. I will handle this matter."

Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao consciousness spoke indifferently, "Within this minor universe, there remain several blessed lands that can aid your cultivation. You may go and refine them."

"I shall lend you a hand, hoping only that you shall not need to break the vow made this day."

"Rest assured, I shall make proper arrangements."

Eldrin slowly opened his mouth and withdrew from the state of Heavenly Dao resonance.

Only then did he notice Lyra and the others standing guard by his side, all of them staring at him with astonished expressions.

The Venerable Spiritus couldn't help but take a deep breath, his voice tinged with astonishment as he said, "To fully refine this supreme-grade blessed land in merely 3 100 years—I fear even a Celestial Immortal would be incapable of such a feat."

"Do not be surprised. The reason I succeeded is because the Heavenly Dao aided me."

Eldrin replied indifferently, sharing the news of his communion with the Heavenly Dao with everyone.

After hearing the full account of what had transpired, everyone’s expressions shifted slightly. Lyra (Person Name) could not help but remark, “With the Heavenly Dao itself aiding you, it’s no wonder you succeeded.”

"Yes."

Eldrin gave a slight nod, then proceeded to inform everyone of the Heavenly Emperor’s scheme with the ancient extraterrestrial demons.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions shifted dramatically. Daoist Zixuan’s face turned exceptionally grave as he said, "This news is far too significant. We must prepare ourselves without delay."

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded calmly and said, "I've made up my mind. For now, we should prepare for 2 possible paths."

"The first step is to further strengthen the array patterns within the microcosm, which can prevent the Ancient Fiend from Beyond from sacrificing the entire cosmos."

"Step 2 is to inform the Human Emperor of our universe about the extraterrestrial demon gods, preparing in advance to sever the Heavenly Emperor’s incarnation along with its karmic ties." Hearing this, the Liyan Spirit still felt somewhat uneasy and spoke up, "That Heavenly Emperor’s incarnation wields an innate treasure, so its combat prowess must be unparalleled throughout the ages. Will we truly be able to slay it even if we join forces?"

"Should we inform the God Tribe and the Demon Tribe of the news?"

Eldrin pondered briefly before speaking, "The demon race holds grudges against us, and the divine race remains distant. If we disclose this matter to them, the Netherworld Microcosmos Array will inevitably be exposed, and all our schemes shall come to naught."

"Moreover, they are highly likely to seize this opportunity to scheme against us. Even the ultimate Primordial Chaos Artifact of the Universe could very well end up in their hands."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into a profound silence.

Eldrin had laid his plans hundreds of thousands of years in advance, all to scheme for the universe's primordial treasure of origin. Naturally, he would not abandon this object.

At this moment, it was the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor who spoke: "As for the formation patterns, we can join forces to rearrange them."

"As for uniting the various major factions, there is no need for concern. When the Celestial Emperor's incarnation prepares to sacrifice this universe, all major powers will naturally join forces."

At this point, his voice paused briefly before he continued, "If a Celestial Immortal expert were to arrive in person, we might not possess the power to put up a fight."

"But it is merely an avatar. We should have a very high chance of success." As the being closest to the Celestial Immortal, the Myriad Spirits Ancestor held the most authority. Seeing his acknowledgment, the Flamesever Deity finally voiced no further objections. With the matter settled, Eldrin ultimately decided, "Then we shall proceed as planned. First, we must inform the Human Emperor and allow him to make preparations in advance."

In the days that followed, everyone returned to the Netherworld Microcosm and began revising the formation patterns anew.

Meanwhile, Eldrin did not linger. He traversed the boundless void, journeying toward the cosmic depths until he unwittingly arrived within the Dragon Turtle Star Domain.

The entire Dragon Turtle Star Domain was formed from the condensation of this universe's water vein essence, and the Dragon Turtle True Spirit nurtured within it was an unparalleled existence with dual Taiyi foundations.

But in the present-day Dragon Turtle Star Domain, this revered Dragon Turtle True Spirit had already been slain by the demon race, its treasures thoroughly plundered, leaving behind only an empty, supreme-grade blessed land in this place.

To refine a supreme blessed land, the karmic burden 1 must bear is far too immense. Even the great powers among the demon race dared not take this step. With the promise of the Cosmic Heavenly Dao, Eldrin (Person Name) faced no karmic consequences in refining this supreme earth vein. Aided by the Cosmic Heavenly Dao itself, he spent merely 5 100 years to completely assimilate this terrestrial meridian.

After refining it, Eldrin discovered that his kidneys now emitted a profound radiance, resembling an unfathomable abyss, within which an immense water elemental power lay dormant.

After completing this step, Eldrin ventured into the Astral Serpent Domain, only to discover that this ancient realm, much like the Dragon Turtle Ancient Domain, had long since had its cosmic true spirit slain, and all its resources had been thoroughly plundered.

Eldrin, however, continued his cultivation within, harnessing the power of the Heavenly Dao of this universe to refine the earth-attribute ley lines contained within.

Thus time flowed on, and roughly 8 100 years later, Eldrin had completely refined this supreme blessed land.

"For now, this matter has reached its conclusion."

After refining the Soaring Serpent Blessed Land, Eldrin discovered that within his 5 viscera, the heart, kidneys, and spleen were already saturated, radiating dazzling primordial power.

Eldrin tentatively channeled his energy, feeling 3 supreme powers surge through his being. Every inch of his skin seemed imbued with primordial divinity, as if endowed with indestructible and eternal power.

"The fluid persistence of water, the profound solidity of earth, the domineering fury of fire."

Eldrin slowly lowered his gaze, sensing the power within his physical body, and gave a slight nod of approval.

Within his 5 viscera, the 3 supreme deities seemed to undergo a startling metamorphosis. Their inner essence stretched boundlessly, as if possessing the power to cleave heavens and annihilate worlds.

In that moment, Eldrin could feel boundless physical strength coursing through him—enough to tear apart primordial ferocious beasts with his bare hands and contend against those half-step Celestial Immortals.
