Chapter 1544 : A Vessel of Porcelain Casting, Merely an Empty Shell

Gazing at that ray of innate light, a faint stirring arose in Eldrin's heart.

He understood that this was an innate marvel born from the intertwining of primordial essence and the torrents of chaos at the moment of the universe's destruction. "So the end of annihilation... is vitality..."

Eldrin murmured softly, sensing the vast life principles within, as if vaguely comprehending something.

Meanwhile, far away in the nameless void, the Pearl of Returning Abyss rotated slowly, gradually absorbing traces of destruction and primordial return.

No 1 knew how much time had passed. As the miniature universes continued to crumble, at the very heart of the cosmic turbulence within the primordial chaos, the light of inception gradually coalesced inward, transforming into an ancient-looking vial.

The small vial was of a pale violet hue, crafted from a material neither metallic, stony, nor jade-like. Its entire form was crystalline and translucent, containing within it the primordial energies of Heaven and Earth. These 2 forces intertwined, emanating an innate, hazy luminescence that transformed into the hue of primordial chaos at the dawn of creation.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Vase.

In the blink of an eye, several individuals recognized the treasure's origins and immediately lunged madly toward the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Vase. Instantly, multiple Imperial Sons and Holy Sons surged forward, vying to seize the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Vase as chaos erupted once more. Eldrin (Person Name) looked up and spotted the Phoenix Sage Maiden of the demon tribe, the True Dragon Crown Prince, and the Western Geng Ancestor.

The Human Race's Tai Bai Celestial Maiden, Pure Yang Saint Child, and Desert Buddha Child, along with the Divine Race's Kunji Divine Child and Xiqi Divine Child, had seemingly joined forces. While contending for the Primordial Chaos Qi Vase, they simultaneously besieged the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestral Elder.

Clearly, in the eyes of these people, the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor was the greatest threat.

Facing the assault of 8 supreme half-step Celestial Immortals wielding Great Immortal Artifacts, even the 10 1000 Spirits Ancestor, despite his earth-shaking abilities, was now faintly at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Eldrin gave a slight nod to the Crown Prince of Taixu.

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin and Jiang Daoxu struck simultaneously. Instead of aiding the 10-1000 Spirits Ancestor, they charged straight toward the Primordial Vessel of Universal Qi. "Damn it."

Seeing the 2 attempting to seize an advantage, the True Dragon Prince, Kunji Divine Son, and Xiqi Divine Son broke away from their engagements to intercept them. In an instant, another fierce battle erupted in full force.

The Heaven-Mourning Human Sovereign did not linger either. Grasping the Heaven-Mourning War Halberd, he strode through the void to intercept the True Dragon Crown Prince.

The True Dragon Crown Prince watched as the Heaven-Grieving Human Emperor descended upon him, a cold sneer curling his lips. "A Human Emperor with but a single Taiyi foundation—you were always the least among the 3 Sovereigns."

"Now that this universe has been destroyed, without the Human Emperor's authority to empower you, how much of your combat prowess remains?"

Heaven’s Lament, the Human Emperor, remained utterly composed, the Heaven’s Lament War Halberd in his hand gleaming with a faint, chilling light. "Be my guest and try." "You’re courting death!"

The True Dragon Crown Prince sneered coldly, riding forth on his Supreme Immortal Weapon to stand alongside the Heaven-Mourning Human Emperor's Blood.

This was an exceptionally fierce melee, with both sides locked in their final confrontation amidst the ruins of the cosmos. It was also a tragic elegy, as this realm's last Human Sovereign fought with every ounce of his strength against the extraterrestrial foes upon this blood-soaked battlefield.

In the final battle, the Heaven Piercer Halberd shattered, his flesh was riddled with scars, yet the Human Emperor, his battered body stained with blood, still gripped the broken halberd and struck out in all directions. "Boom."

Finally, the Human Emperor fought with a death-defying resolve. Trading injury for injury in a desperate struggle, he finally inflicted grievous wounds upon the Crown Prince of the True Dragons.

The broken half of the celestial halberd pierced through the Dragon Prince, impaling his physical form against the void. Dragon blood drenched the shattered cosmos. 「Ah!」

The Crown Prince of the True Dragons let out a miserable shriek, his eyes brimming with a trace of sheer terror.

He never could have imagined—found it utterly unbelievable—that with his dual Great Unity foundations and the Great Unity Immortal Weapon in hand, he would now be defeated by the mere Heaven-Mourning Human Sovereign.

Slay

The Human Emperor spat blood, disregarding his own injuries that had nearly shattered his body. He forcefully intercepted the Crown Prince of True Dragons’ full-powered strike, trading brutal injuries at a grievous cost. With a furious roar, he tore through the air with his bare hands.

But a heart-wrenching shriek pierced the air as the True Dragon Crown Prince was torn in 2 by Heaven’s Lament, the Human Emperor.

The Supreme Primordial True Dragon Body was shattered. The True Dragon Crown Prince’s primordial spirit and immortal embryo attempted to flee, but the Heaven-Mourning Human Emperor had long been prepared. Gripping a broken blade fragment, he struck out, instantly piercing through the Crown Prince’s primordial spirit.

In the blink of an eye, the True Dragon Crown Prince was drenched in blood, his primordial spirit beginning to disintegrate into motes of light. "A forged vessel—merely an ornate facade, all flash and no substance."

With a single move, he slew the True Dragon Crown Prince. Human Emperor Tian’ai spoke coldly, his tone tinged with a hint of disdain as he remarked.

At this moment, everyone was stunned. Even the ■ Phoenix Maiden and the Divine Son of Western Qi revealed looks of utter astonishment.

With a single Great Unity foundation, he suppressed and slew an opponent wielding a Great Unity immortal weapon and possessing dual Great Unity foundations. Such an earth-shattering battle achievement truly struck awe into the hearts of all present. As they gazed upon the Heaven-Mourning Human Emperor, they could not help but be stunned by his ruthless ferocity.

Fighting in the manner of Eldrin (Person Name) was akin to self-annihilation—even if he emerged victorious, his cultivation would be crippled, and he would likely face imminent demise. The True Dragon Crown Prince (Person Name), ever mindful of his prestige, refused to engage in such mutually destructive combat. Little did he expect that this very reluctance would cost him his life.

"From the very beginning, you never intended to return alive."

The Pure Yang Saint gazed at the Heaven-Mourning Human Emperor and could not help but sigh as he spoke.

Heaven mourned, but the Human Sovereign remained silent, gripping his war halberd as he strode toward the Primordial Vessel of Universal Qi.

In that very instant, the crowd sought to intervene, yet they discovered Eldrin (Person Name), Jiang Daoxu, and the Ancient Minister of 10 1000 Spirits had already unleashed their full power to hold them back. Amid the struggle, the Phoenix Maiden Yanzhu and the Pure Yang Saint managed to break free, striving to seize the Primordial Chaos Vial from the hands of the Heaven-Mourning Human Emperor.

But at that very instant, Sovereign Tian'ai abruptly struck the Cosmic Primordial Vessel with a palm, sending it flying directly toward Eldrin (Person Name).

"Now."

In an instant, Eldrin grasped the Heaven-Unity Qi Vessel and immediately soared toward the distant void.

The group gave chase once more, yet Eldrin continuously traversed through the void, vanishing in the blink of an eye to parts unknown. "What a formidable spatial spirit treasure—to think it can navigate through this shattered cosmos!"

Sensing the extraordinary nature of Eldrin's Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, the crowd grew deeply resentful and sought to pursue and intercept him relentlessly along his path.

But at that very moment, a deafening roar echoed from the endless void. Across the cosmos, another rift tore through space, unleashing boundless torrents of primordial chaos that surged forth like a raging tide.

And this was only the beginning. As everyone looked up, they saw endless spatial storms and boundless chaotic currents continuously assailing them, tearing the cosmos until it was nearly shattered.

Even the entrance to the miniature universe, which all the Celestial Immortals had exerted their full power to stabilize, now began to teeter on the brink of complete annihilation. "We can linger no longer."

The Western Geng Patriarch's expression shifted slightly. Without another thought for the Primordial Treasure, he immediately headed toward the entrance of the miniature universe. Seeing this, the crowd understood they had no chance of seizing the Primordial Treasure and promptly dispersed in succession.

Before parting, the Western Qi Divine Son cast a cold glance at Eldrin and sneered, "Though I know not who you are, since you conceal your form, you are likely no true disciple of the grotto-heaven."

"Without a grotto-heaven to support you, all your efforts will ultimately become another's harvest."
