Chapter 1765 : Clash in the Primordial Chaos

"Clang—"

In that instant, Chaotic Sword Qi crisscrossed and slashed through the surging Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before the creation of the cosmos], cleaving a path into the Chaos Lair.

Yet, at that very moment, a furious roar erupted from the Chaos Lair. Several colossal beasts, resembling mastiffs with three heads and Nine-Tails, burst forth from the lair, creatures born of the Primordial Chaos itself.

"Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiffs."

The moment he saw these titanic beasts, Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly.

Any Ancient Beast capable of surviving within the Primordial Chaos was, at minimum, a Chaos Ancient Beast of the Taiyi Realm [a profound stage of cultivation]. The Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff dwelling within this Chaos Lair were an ancient bloodline among such Chaos Ancient Beast.

They were born from Chaos Rule [the fundamental laws of primordial chaos], naturally feeding upon Great Thousand Universe [the myriad worlds and realms]. Upon reaching adulthood, their cultivation rivaled that of a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a pinnacle-level Heavenly Immortal].

"This will not be easy to handle."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. With a flick of his sleeve, he recalled the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords. He noted that the blades were stained with the blood of Primordial Chaos.

Among the pack of Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff, one Ancient Beast of the lower Ninth Rank bore a deep, bone-exposing sword wound—clear evidence of a significant injury. Continue your cultivation journey at http://www . audio-novel.com.

Though he had gained a great advantage by ambushing and severely wounding a Chaos Ancient Beast with a single sword strike, Eldrin Chen felt a tremor of shock in his heart.

"The power of my Heavenly Separated Twin Swords Union, combined with the element of surprise, should have been enough to instantly slay even a Mid Celestial Immortal Realm expert caught off guard," he thought, incredulous. "Yet it failed to kill a mere Ninth Rank lower-grade Chaos Ancient Beast?"

"ROAR—!"

Even as Eldrin's mind reeled, five Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiffs [ancient, ferocious beasts of chaos with nine tails] roared and surged into the sky, closing in to encircle and kill him.

The leader, the most powerful of the Nine-Tailed Mastiffs [the nine-tailed mastiffs], swung its massive claw downward. A torrent of overwhelming force split the vast expanse of Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] as it swatted towards Eldrin.

Intent on testing their strength, Eldrin channeled his Primordial Chaos Limitless Dao Principle [his supreme comprehension of the boundless Dao of Primordial Chaos] to empower himself. He raised his palm to meet the blow head-on. Yet, under the crushing weight of that Celestial God [a realm of cultivation denoting immense divine power]-level force, he was forced back several paces.

The Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff, however, came off worse, sent flying backward by the impact and churning up titanic waves within the Primordial Chaos.

"What formidable Physical Body [the cultivation and refinement of one's corporeal form to extreme durability]," Eldrin murmured.

Having repelled the foe with a single move, Eldrin used the momentum to break free from the encirclement, his expression turning grave.

Empowered by his Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule [a supreme art governing the boundless principles of chaos], that single palm strike had possessed force comparable to an attack from a Late Heaven Immortal Realm [a high realm of immortal cultivation] powerhouse. Yet, it had failed to inflict even a scratch on the Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff. This realization left Eldrin deeply unsettled.

"Although this Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff possesses cultivation comparable only to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm, its Physical Body [the strength and resilience of a cultivator's corporeal form] far surpasses that of other beings in the same realm, akin to a Heaven Immortal, and is potent enough to rival a Great Completion Innate Physique [a perfected, heaven-defying physical constitution]."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a flicker of caution replacing the initial underestimation in his gaze.

Within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation], the Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to power techniques] and comprehension of Dao Principles [the fundamental laws of existence] of ordinary Heavenly Immortal Paragon are suppressed by the pervasive Chaos Qi [the primordial, untamed energy of creation]. Only the Physical Body can unleash its full power here.

Conversely, Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial beasts born from chaos] derive their entire combat prowess from their Physical Body. One at the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm possesses a Physical Body comparable to a Late Heaven Immortal Realm. No wonder Heavenly Immortal Paragon who venture deep into the Primordial Chaos are no match for Chaos Ancient Beast of equivalent cultivation.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen's foundation was profound. His Primordial Chaos Limitless Rule and Immeasurable Dao Fruit remained utterly unaffected by the Chaos Qi, allowing him to wield their full might.

Moreover, his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a physique forged in and harmonized with primordial chaos] could absorb and utilize the Chaos Qi itself. Thus, Eldrin Chen's combat power was not diminished but had subtly increased. Facing these five Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff, he still held a measure of confidence.

"Chaos Ancient Beast possess formidable Physical Body, making a single, decisive kill difficult. The best strategy is to defeat them one by one."

"Then from the weakest to the strongest, I shall eliminate them in turn!"

As this thought solidified, Eldrin Chen summoned the Chaos Heaven Halberd with a flip of his palm. He manifested his Chaotic True Body [a divine form embodying chaos], towering a million light-years tall, and clashed with the Chaos Ancient Beast in a fierce battle that shook the depths of the Primordial Chaos.

This fierce struggle raged on, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of exchanges had passed.

It is undeniable that the Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial monsters born from the chaos before creation] are truly extraordinary. Each of their strikes possesses the power to shatter Cosmos [the ordered universe]. An ordinary Heaven Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] of the seventh level, facing these five Chaos Ancient Beast, would likely have perished long ago.

Eldrin Chen pushed his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique forged in the primordial chaos, granting near-invulnerability] to its absolute limit. His raw power was not inferior to that of the Chaos Ancient Beast, and further bolstered by his profound Dao Principles [the fundamental laws of existence] and immense Mana [the spiritual energy cultivated and wielded by immortals], he faced the five beasts with ease, his movements fluid and unstrained.

After more than eight thousand exchanges in this fierce battle, Eldrin Chen finally seized an opening. He summoned forth the Supreme Unity Ethereal Void Sword Qi [a supreme sword energy that embodies the unity of all things and cuts through the void], directing its devastating edge towards the most grievously wounded of the Chaos Ancient Beast.

"*Screech—*"

The moment this Half-Step Patriarch Grade Divine Ability [a divine ability of such power it approaches the level of techniques used by the founding ancestors of cultivation] was unleashed, augmented by the Chaos Void Cosmos Sword Art [a supreme sword art that harnesses the power of chaos and void], it displayed its world-sundering, heaven-parting divine might.

A cataclysmic surge of Sword Qi [condensed spiritual energy shaped into a blade or projectile] cleaved through the boundless Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before the creation of the cosmos], and in its wake, severed the three heads of the Chaos Ancient Beast.

"*Arooo—*"

The Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff [a specific type of Chaos Ancient Beast resembling a massive, nine-tailed mastiff] let out a final, agonized howl. These Ancient Beast [a general term for monstrous beings from the primordial era] possess no Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and true self of a cultivator, which can survive the death of the physical body]. Once its heads were severed, not a shred of life remained. It thrashed for a few moments before sinking forever into the depths of the Primordial Chaos.

Witnessing one of their kin, the Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff, slain, the remaining four Chaos Ancient Beast grew even more savage and brutal. They roared forth with power sufficient to tear the Heavenly Layers [the stratified realms of heaven] asunder, their sole desire to utterly annihilate Eldrin Chen.

The lead Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff, driven into a frenzy, unleashed the full fury of its three wolf-like heads. From their maws erupted three terrifying forces: crackling lightning, devouring flame, and shredding gales.

"Hmmmm—" [a deep, resonant hum]

Facing such an assault, Eldrin Chen neither retreated nor evaded. He raised a palm, unleashing the Primordial Chaos True Aura [a defensive aura of primordial chaos] to block it. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords [a pair of legendary celestial swords] crossed and merged once more, unleashing the formidable power of the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords Union [the ultimate combined attack of the twin swords].

With a sharp *clang*, the Heavenly Separated Twin Swords instantly cleaved through the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state of existence], severing one of the heads from another Chaos Ancient Beast [an ancient monster born from primordial chaos] and inflicting a grievous, near-mortal wound.

Yet, before Eldrin Chen could deliver the finishing blow, another Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff [a mastiff-like beast with nine tails, born of chaos] roared and charged, slamming into him with immense force. The impact sent Eldrin Chen hurtling sideways, causing him to miss the opportunity for a decisive kill.

"Troublesome."

Eldrin Chen steadied himself, feeling a violent surge within his Qi and Blood [the vital life force and physical essence of a cultivator]. Only then did he realize he had sustained significant internal injuries.

He hastily consumed a dose of Innate Spiritual Water [a rare spiritual liquid with potent healing properties] and circulated his Life Dao Rule [a profound cultivation art governing the principles of life and vitality] to mend his wounds. Instantly, he felt his injuries heal completely, as if they had never been.

Only then did he tear through the Primordial Chaos and rise, his gaze falling upon the four Chaos Ancient Beast roaring towards him. A sliver of certainty settled in his heart.

With one Chaos Ancient Beast severely wounded, only four remained to besiege him. Eldrin Chen now had the confidence to force a kill through sheer power.

In that fleeting moment, Eldrin Chen unleashed his Primordial Chaos True Aura once more. With an aura of unstoppable, fatalistic resolve, he charged directly towards the grievously wounded Chaos Ancient Beast.

The Chaos Ancient Beast [a primordial creature born from the chaos of creation] recoiled in shock and terror. The other three Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff [a ferocious, nine-tailed canine beast of chaos] surged forward without regard for their own safety, desperate to block Eldrin Chen's path.

Yet, at this moment, Eldrin Chen had become an unstoppable force.

"BOOM—"

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin Chen unleashed the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand [a divine technique that manifests a giant hand of primordial chaos to seize and suppress], its immense pressure instantly pinning the leader of the Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff pack.

Without pause, he followed with the Grand Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique harmonizing the five elements and pure yang energy]. The blast struck the second Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff, one at the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm [the middle stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation realm], sending it hurtling backwards.

The remaining beast, merely at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the early stage of the Celestial Immortal cultivation realm], was far too slow. Eldrin Chen evaded it with ease, leaving it powerless to intervene.

"Shatter!"

Free from the three Chaos Ancient Beast's entanglement, Eldrin Chen hurled the Chaos Heaven Halberd [a polearm of immense power, forged from the essence of chaos] with devastating force. It pierced straight through the heart of the grievously wounded Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff leader.

The Chaos Ancient Beast roared, thrashing in its death throes within the boundless Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation]. Its violent convulsions gradually subsided, until finally, an absolute silence fell.

"ROAR—"

Witnessing the second Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff fall in battle, the leader of the Chaotic Nine-Tailed Mastiff pack descended into an even more savage frenzy.

It roared ceaselessly within the Primordial Chaos, its will now forged for a final, desperate clash, a death-duel against Eldrin Chen. For the best reading experience, visit audio‑novel.com.
