Chapter 1539 : Primordial Dao Ruins Sword

And the innate supreme treasure was of such noble stature that its prestige needed no elaboration.

Speaking of the profound mysteries within the Primordial Genesis Qi Sutra, Jiang Daoxu continued, "Since breaking through to the Grand Primordial Unity Realm, I've gained the ability to condense the Primordial Genesis Qi."

"Now that the Dao Ruins Sword has reached the Great Ultimate realm, it only requires the infusion of Primordial Qi to undergo metamorphosis into a Primordial Treasure."

Jiang Daoxu spoke with measured deliberation, then turned his gaze to Eldrin and said, "Regrettably, the primordial qi I’ve accumulated is insufficient, allowing me to condense only a single wisp of primordial energy."

"Wait a few more years. Once I've condensed my second strand of innate qi, I might be able to offer you significant assistance."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes glimmered faintly as he spoke, "If your Dao Ruins Sword evolves into the Innate Dao Ruins Sword, our chances of weathering this great calamity will be significantly greater."

"Resolving the Great Cataclysm?"

Jiang Daoxu was momentarily taken aback, a trace of bewilderment flickering across his features. "It's like this—the matter is connected to the ancient fiends from beyond the realm..."

Lyra spoke slowly, revealing to Eldrin the sinister plot of the ancient extraterrestrial demon and the Celestial Emperor's avatar.

After hearing this, Jiang Daoxu’s expression tightened slightly, and he said coldly, "An ancient demon capable of seizing the body of a Heavenly Emperor ruling over this minor universe is most likely an existence rooted in the 3 Taiyi Foundations, or perhaps even at the level of a Celestial Immortal."

Within his microcosm, he had laid down countless formation patterns, further augmented by the support of the Cosmic Genesis Treasure. His power was undoubtedly beyond any hope of confrontation.

"Fortunately, you've laid down formation runes within the Yin Minor Universe, which can temporarily prevent him from sacrificing the cosmos. As long as we eliminate him within this timeframe, it will indeed be sufficient to resolve the great calamity."

Eldrin also gave a slight nod and said with a smile, "Originally, even with the combined assault of the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor and several dozen Half-Step Celestial Immortals, we wouldn’t dare claim absolute confidence."

"However, once your Daoxu Sword completes its metamorphosis into the peerless weapon of slaughter—the Primordial Daoxu Sword—I doubt any significant mishaps will occur."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Daoxu gave a slight nod.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke: "Although Innate Treasures(Magic Treasure) far surpass peer-level Taiyi Immortal Artifacts(Magic Treasure) in power, they also consume an immense amount of magical energy. Generally speaking, only those with Triple Taiyi Foundation(Cultivation Base) can barely wield them."

"Having just reached the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm, I currently possess only a single Great Primordial Foundation. My spiritual power hasn't even reached half of what 3 Great Primordial Foundations could provide, making it theoretically impossible to activate this."

"Fortunately, the Sword of Dao Ruins is my life-bound treasure, requiring only 30% of my mana to activate. Thus, at full strength, I should be capable of unleashing 1 full-powered strike."

The Force of a Single Sword.

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow.

To activate an innate treasure, 1 generally requires innate spiritual power to do so.

The quality of acquired spiritual power is inherently insufficient; attempting to forcefully activate an innate treasure with it often requires several times the amount of energy to unleash comparable force.

Jiang Daoxu could typically unleash a full 100 strikes when wielding the Taiyi Immortal Artifact Daoxu Sword, yet when channeling the Innate Daoxu Sword, he possessed only a single blow's worth of strength.

Of course, the power of an innate treasure is unparalleled. Its lethal force is sufficient to annihilate a Half-Step Celestial Immortal with a single strike, and it can severely injure or even slay a true Celestial Immortal. The potency of the 2 cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

In a battle between Half-Step Celestial Immortals, this was a force sufficient to decide the outcome. Spending so much magical power in exchange for a single strike from an Innate Treasure was well worth it.

However, this meant Jiang Daoxu’s Innate Daoxu Sword could only be used as a hidden trump card. Once exposed, its impact would be significantly diminished.

Because the quality of his mana was insufficient, he had only a single strike at his disposal.

Thinking of this, Eldrin said, "In that case, Grandfather, you must keep this absolutely confidential. Only when absolutely necessary should you unleash the power of this sword."

Jiang Daoxu (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this and said, "The demon race and god race are watching me like a tiger eyeing its prey, wishing they could eliminate me at once. I will naturally be cautious."

"Let us conceal ourselves for now. When the great battle commences, we shall remain hidden and strike only at the critical moment."

With those words spoken, Eldrin said, "The ascension of an Innate Treasure is no small matter. To prevent any mishaps, please accompany me back to the Netherworld Microcosm first. We shall discuss everything after the treasure successfully advances."

Jiang Daoxu pondered briefly before giving a slight nod. "Very well."

Seeing Jiang Daoxu agree, Eldrin brought him back to the Netherworld Microcosm.

He had Jiang Daoxu enter seclusion to advance the Daoxu Sword, while he himself began modifying the formation. Thus time flowed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, several 1000 years had passed.

When the small universe was finally engraved with countless array patterns, everyone ceased their actions.

Just as the formation patterns were completed, Jiang Daoxu finally succeeded in advancing his Daoxu Sword, reversing its nature to become the 'Primordial Daoxu Sword'.

After Jiang Daoxu emerged from seclusion, Eldrin felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

He entered the minor Yang Universe and gazed at the increasingly sparse and dim stars scattered across the heavens, then spoke softly.

"The formation patterns are complete, Grandfather has emerged from seclusion, and all preparations are in place." "By my calculations, this minor cosmos should meet its destruction within 10 1000 years."

Eldrin murmured softly, his gaze drifting into the depths of the cosmos as he said, "That ancient fiend from beyond the realm will soon make its move."

"Yes."

Beside him, Jiang Daoxu also gave a slight nod.

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing calmly at the starry cosmos, a flicker of immortal primordial sword qi seeming to ignite within his pupils.

"The end of the cosmos approaches. The mastermind lurking in the shadows, having bided their time for years, must be preparing to make their move."

At this point, he looked at Eldrin (Person Name) and asked, "I heard you sent Lyra (Person Name) back to the immortal realm. What do you plan to do this time?"

Eldrin pondered briefly before speaking, "Our wings have yet to fully spread—we cannot risk exposing our identities. Moreover, Lyra and the others remain insufficiently prepared. Rashly intervening in a clash between half-step Celestial Immortals would carry a significant risk of annihilation."

"Since the grand formation has been established, sending them all back would be the wisest course of action."

Jiang Daoxu gave a slight nod upon hearing this. It turned out that not long ago, Eldrin had instructed the 8 Earth Immortals from Tianyuan, Jiuxu, and the Chen Clan to return to the Immortal Realm. Now, within the Yin World Miniature Universe, only 3 individuals with Half-Step Celestial Immortal combat prowess remained: Daoist Zixuan, Divine Lord Liuli, and Eldrin himself.

Among the 3, the Glazed Divine Lord would wield the 'Abyssal Ocean Pearl', the Violet Mystic Daoist would command the Taiji Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword, and Eldrin (Person Name) would hold the pivotal Yin-Yang Void Mirror.

With 3 Half-Step Celestial Immortals presiding over the Netherworld Microcosm Array, this would become their ultimate trump card to counter the ancient extraterrestrial demons’ schemes and seize the supreme treasure of the cosmos.

As for the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor, the Li Flame Deity, the Life Great Emperor, and Jiang Daoxu (Person Name), they would directly participate in the final battle.

At this thought, Jiang Daoxu nodded slightly. "We will assist you in contending for the Cosmic Primordial Treasure. However, the ensuing battle will undoubtedly descend into utter chaos. Should the situation become untenable, you must withdraw immediately."

"Understood, I shall make the necessary arrangements."

Eldrin nodded slightly and said no more.
