Chapter 1537 : Crisis in the Renhuang Nebula

"My physical strength should be comparable to a true Taiyi Immortal Body." Eldrin murmured softly. He could roughly estimate that with his physical strength alone, he could likely contend with 10 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage, rivaling a Half-Step Celestial Immortal who had established a foundation with 6 layers of heavenly apertures through a single Taiyi path.

If the physical body and magical power were combined, augmented by various immortal treasures and divine abilities, it would likely be enough to rival 20-some Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage.

It should be known that most dual Nascent Primordium foundations possess combat prowess roughly equivalent to 30 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage.

This level of combat prowess was already truly astonishing. While it still couldn't compare to the mighty Half-Step Celestial Immortals with dual Taiyi foundations, it at least granted him the capability to stand his ground in battle. If augmented by the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, Eldrin might even gain the upper hand against those with dual Taiyi foundations—provided his magical power hadn't been depleted first.

"At this rate, once I refine 5 supreme-grade blessed lands, the power of my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body alone should rival that of dual Great Unity Dao Fruits." "If I further temper it with the 3 anomalous powers of wind, ice, and lightning, the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body itself ought to suffice against the 10-1000 Spirits Ancestral Master."

Sensing the power within, Eldrin murmured softly, a flicker of excitement lighting up his features.

In the celestial realm, strength represented nearly everything. As his cultivation deepened over the years, Eldrin's power grew increasingly formidable, lending him a gradually fortified sense of confidence.

Now, he only needed to take that final step—to ascend to the Celestial Immortal realm. Once achieved, he would become a truly formidable power, renowned throughout the entire Vast Azure Immortal Domain. Only then would he finally escape the days of living in constant fear.

"What a pity, these last 2 supreme blessed lands won't be easy to find." After successfully completing his cultivation, Eldrin rose slowly, a contemplative glimmer flashing between his brows.

Within this miniature cosmos, only the 4 great True Spirit Ancient Domains remained as blessed lands abundant with primordial essence. Now, among these 4 domains, Eldrin had completely refined 3: the Dragon Turtle, the Kui Bull, and the Great Roc.

The remaining Great Peng Ancient Domain was a top-grade blessed land of the wind element, yet it held little practical value for Eldrin.

Thus, the remaining Metal and Wood supreme-grade blessed lands must be secured from within the immortal realm.

Eldrin pondered for a moment before finally chuckling, "Fortunately, only 2 supreme-grade blessed lands remain. With careful strategizing, securing them would be far simpler than searching for 5."

At this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) let out a hearty laugh and strode out from the depths of the starry sky, heading toward the minor universe of the netherworld.

However, he hadn't traveled far when a talisman in his hand suddenly glowed, indicating something had occurred.

The Remote Perception Talisman of the Horizon's Edge.

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly, a trace of gravity crossing his expression. This Endless Sky Remote Sensing Talisman consisted of 1 primary and 9 subordinate tokens, capable of transmitting messages across immeasurable cosmic distances.

Back in the day, Eldrin had left this ancient talisman with the Human Emperor's Palace. Unless faced with a calamity of immense proportions, the Human Emperor would never have used this ancient talisman to send a message.

Indeed, as Eldrin delved into the ancient talisman's secrets, his expression grew profoundly grave.

He headed straight for the Emperor's Nebula and, just as expected, found a cataclysmic battle already raging beyond its borders.

Amidst the endless starry expanse, over 40 half-step Celestial Immortals from the divine and demonic races were jointly besieging the grand protective formation of the Human Emperor Nebula.

Within the formation, 20-1 Half-Step Celestial Immortals of the human race were resisting with all their might. Among those Eldrin could see were the Heaven-Mourning Human Emperor, the Ancient Reverence Emperor, the Future Supremacy Emperor, and the Polar Zenith Emperor.

In addition, there were numerous other quasi-Celestial Immortals among the human race, such as the Celestial Maiden of the Great White, the Pure Yang Saint, and the Buddhist Ascetic from the Ancient Desert Temple.

"The demon race and the god race have truly joined forces."

Eldrin murmured softly, his expression turning grave. Instead of immediately offering assistance, he swept his gaze through the void until he located Lyra and the others concealed within the starry expanse.

At this moment, all the Half-Step Celestial Immortals had gathered—the Ancestor of 10 1000 Spirits, the Li Flame Deity, the Violet Mystery Elder, and others.

Eldrin spotted the group and immediately inquired, "What's the situation?" "Things have just begun."

The Venerable Spirit Ancestor spoke slowly, his expression turning grave as he continued, "The alliance between the Demon Tribe and the Divine Clan this time... it seems most likely aimed at eliminating the Crowned Son of the Great Void."

The Glazed Divinity Sovereign’s expression turned exceedingly grave as he could not help but utter, “What should we do?”

"I must lend a hand after all."

Eldrin (Person Name) frowned slightly as he spoke, "If we allow the Human Race to be besieged by the Demon and God Races, the Human Race will inevitably suffer devastating losses. After that, the Demon and God Races will proceed to clear the battlefield."

Daoist Zixuan also gave a slight nod before calmly stating, "Regardless of the outcome, this battle will inevitably inflict massive losses on both sides. How would we withstand the Celestial Emperor's incarnation afterward?"

"Then let's begin."

With their resolve set, the group struck in the blink of an eye.

The first to strike was the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor. In but an instant, he channeled the Myriad Laws Wondrous Tree, and with a mere flick of his sleeve, unleashed countless divine abilities cascading down upon the half-step Celestial Immortals of the demon and god races.

"Eldrin, it truly is you."

Sensing the arrival of the Myriad Spirits Ancestor, both combatants’ expressions shifted subtly. On the battlefield, 5 core disciples from the cave heavens—the Yuè Zhuó Phoenix Maiden, Western Mist Divine Son, Western Geng Ancestor, True Dragon Crown Prince, and Kunji Divine Son—instantly sprang into action. Wielding their Grand Unity Immortal Artifacts, they confronted the Myriad Spirits Ancestor.

Even though the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor possessed battle prowess that could startle immortals, facing 5 Cave Heaven direct disciples wielding Great Supreme immortal weapons single-handedly had pushed him to his absolute limits. As for the remaining crowd, they still held a significant advantage when dealing with the humans within the Human Emperor Star Cloud.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Eldrin (Person Name), the Glazed Divine Lord, the Violet Mystic Daoist, the Life Emperor, and the Li Flame Deity all took action simultaneously, immediately alleviating much of the pressure on the battlefield.

Among these individuals, Eldrin's current combat prowess was already comparable to that of a peak half-step Celestial Immortal.

In Liuli Shenjun’s hand was the Great Immortal Artifact, the 7-Colored Heaven-Spanning Ribbon, while Zixuan Daoren wielded the Great Immortal Artifact, the Kuiniu Heavenly Drum. Coupled with the Liyan Shenling, whose combat prowess rivaled that of 2 Great Immortal foundations, the tide of battle was dramatically reversed in an instant.

"The Heavenly Thunder Drum of the Kui Bull—so it was indeed you who slew the Kui Bull."

As the Violet Mystic Daoist wielded the Kui Bull Celestial Drum to strike across all directions, the Golden Radiance Deity from the Golden Radiance Cave Heaven cast a frigid glare, his intent to seize the sacred artifact burning fiercely. Yet the Celestial Maiden of the Great White firmly barred his path, preventing his advance.

The Child of Western Qi’s expression turned even colder as he stared at the Eldrin and demanded, "Eldrin, as 1 of the divine race, why are you aiding the humans against us?"

"Hasten to lend your aid, and this Divine Scion promises to grant you entry into the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven."

However, the Li Flame Spirit God merely smiled faintly, his gaze profound as he said, "The Xī Qi Heaven God governs the virtue of water, which has always been fundamentally incompatible with fire-element deities."

"How did the Crimson Sun Celestial of yore fall prey to the schemes of the Western Aether Grotto-Heaven, losing his innate primordial treasure, the Crimson Sun Halberd, and become the Waning Sun Celestial?"

"Would I not be a lamb willingly walking into the tiger's den if I followed you into the Western Qi Grotto-Heaven?"

The Flamesprite Deity narrated unhurriedly, while the Celestial Lantern of Parting Blaze in her hand unleashed boundless Southern Brilliance Fire, forcing her opponent into relentless retreat.

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) perked up his ears, a flicker of curiosity stirring within him.

In his prime, the Crimson Sun Celestial God was a figure of great renown. Born with the innate ancient treasure—the Scarlet Sun Halberd—his origins rivaled those of the highest primordial deities. By all reasoning, he should have at least attained the Perfection Stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Yet it was discovered during its incubation. What was initially thought to be an accident now appears to have been orchestrated by the Western Mist Heavenly Grotto.
