Chapter 1614 : Primordial Xunwind Ancient Gourd

"To be frank, I left behind the Ancient Gourd of Xun and the Ancient Xun Wind Sword precisely to lure someone into fishing me out of this place."

The God of Xunfeng gazed with profound, shadowed eyes, his voice rasping as he spoke, "I had hoped a fellow Daoist at the Celestial Immortal realm would come to aid my escape. Never did I expect to draw in a mere youngster."

"To survive the 8 Winds, it seems you truly possess some skill."

At this point, the Celestial Deity of Xun Wind looked at Eldrin and said, "Young man, if you have the means to help this old 1 escape, I shall reward you handsomely."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin shook his head without hesitation and said, "This wind vortex is extremely perilous. Without the strength of a late-stage Celestial Immortal, it's simply impossible to break free from it."

In truth, Eldrin was not lying. Given the power of the 8 Winds permeating this space, not even a late-stage Celestial Immortal could break free by force—much less him.

Of course, with the Abyssal Pearl of Returning as his contingency, Eldrin was still able to extricate himself from the predicament.

However, the Void Pearl was an innate spiritual treasure. Without knowing whether the Zephyrwind Celestial was friend or foe, Eldrin could not risk exposure by rescuing him.

"You don't have any ideas either, kid?"

The Celestial Deity of the Xun Wind spoke with an air of detachment, a trace of frost gleaming in his eyes as he said.

A smile spread across his face, tinged with excitement, as he remarked, "But it matters not. I can see that your cultivation has reached a point where your physical form is truly extraordinary—undoubtedly that of a supreme Taiyi Immortal Body."

"If I refine your physical body, not only will my damaged divine form and origin be restored, but I believe they will surpass their peak state. Perhaps this will even allow me to break free from this confinement."

"Esteemed Senior, as a deity of your standing, would you truly stoop to such vile deeds?"

Eldrin's face paled dramatically, yet a faint glimmer of cold light flickered in his pupils.

The Celestial God of Xunfeng let out a thunderous laugh and immediately pressed down with a palm strike, his eyes gleaming with frosty intensity. "Boy, to merge with a Celestial God—what supreme honor could possibly compare?"

“你放心，今日汝为老夫献上血肉精气，等老夫脱困之后定然会送你轮回转世。”

Boom—

As the words faded, the Wind God of Xun unleashed his full power, striking forth with the intent to crush Eldrin (Person Name) where he stood.

Yet Eldrin did not retreat but advanced instead. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a palm strike that actually forced the Celestial of Xun Wind to stagger backward.

"Ah—"

Suddenly suffering a hidden setback, the God of Xun Wind let out a muffled grunt.

He cast a scrutinizing gaze at Eldrin, eyes gleaming with fervor as he exclaimed, "What formidable physical prowess! Should you refine this constitution into an Innate Body, you could very well contend with a mid-stage Celestial Immortal in raw combat."

The Celestial God of Xunfeng was greatly astonished and remarked with a tinge of regret, "What a pity—a body seized through possession can never truly become 1's own. The essence, energy, and spirit remain imperfect, barring any path to further advancement. Otherwise, this old man would have been tempted to possess your immortal body."

"Old fiend, you’ve been trapped for 80 million years—how much of your combat prowess remains?"

Eldrin let out a cold snort and suppressed the opponent with a single palm strike.

The 2 sides erupted into a staggering battle. Had it occurred in the outside world, the residual shockwaves alone would have been sufficient to shatter the Great Myriad Ancient Domain, pulverizing entire star rivers into dust.

Alas, within these 8 whirlpools, all power was dissipated by the 8 Winds, unable to cause much impact on the surroundings.

"Child, to defy the Celestials is a transgression so grave, even the shattering of your soul cannot cleanse your sins."

The God of Xunfeng went berserk. From his withered flesh, a wisp of innate origin power surged forth, empowering the ancient Xunfeng Sword. An overwhelming killing intent erupted, aimed at utterly annihilating Eldrin (Person Name).

Yet Eldrin (Person Name) stood unwavering and fearless. He stepped forward to close the distance, using the Primordial Chaos Unitary Qi True Aura to deflect the strike. In the same motion, he unleashed a palm strike that sent the Zephyr Celestial God (Deity Title) flying backward on impact.

In terms of pure physical strength alone, Eldrin (Person Name) had already surpassed many Celestial Immortals. Although Xunfeng Tianshen (Deity Name) possessed an innate constitution, his physical body had long been nearly depleted. Engaging in fierce combat with Eldrin (Person Name), he no longer held the upper hand.

"So what if you're a celestial god? Today, I shall defy the heavens and slay a deity!"

With a single palm strike that repelled the Zephyr Celestial, Eldrin’s battle intent surged like a raging tide.

The Wind God of Xun was sent flying backward, but unfortunately, he hadn't gone far before the eye of the storm swept him back in.

He was about to unleash his fury for revenge when he found himself struggling to maintain balance against the howling wind. Eldrin’s fist struck him squarely in the face, sending several teeth flying instantly. Bruises and swelling soon bloomed across his visage.

"Argh! You little brat, you deserve to die!"

Having suffered consecutive setbacks in silence, the Heavenly Lord of Xun Feng was seething with overwhelming killing intent.

Here, the 8 Winds buffeting technique erodes both magical power and spiritual force, preventing them from manifesting their full might. Only the strength of the physical body can be fully unleashed.

But at this moment, the Wind God of Xun was consumed by overwhelming hatred, no longer caring about preserving his innate divine power. He continuously stirred his primordial essence to fortify his divine body, engaging in a desperate life-and-death struggle with Eldrin (Person Name).

"Hmph—"

Under the frenzied assault of the Whirlwind Heavenly Deity, Eldrin let out a muffled grunt, his expression turning grave.

A deity unleashing their full power was truly a sight to behold. This was no coordinated assault against the Congenital Filth Serpents, but a 1-on-1 duel.

Eldrin knew full well that were it not for his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, which granted him strong resistance to wind-attribute attacks, and the environmental constraints limiting the divine powers of the Celestial God of Xun Wind in this place, he would stand no chance against the Celestial God of Xun Wind.

"As expected of a Celestial Deity."

Eldrin (Person Name) cast aside all carelessness, no longer daring to underestimate his opponent, and engaged in a full-scale battle against the Celestial God of Xun Wind.

This was a rare confrontation, with both sides possessing astonishingly formidable strength.

Eldrin (Person Name) had now nearly perfected the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, with physical strength alone rivaling that of 3 experts with dual Taiyi foundations combined.

With the additional empowerment of the Primordial Immortal Physique, Eldrin’s current strength, though not yet on par with 1 possessing a Triple Primordial Foundation, was already remarkably close. At the very least, his close-combat prowess far surpassed that of a Triple Primordial Foundation cultivator.

The God of Xunfeng was a formidable deity whose might had shaken the Vast Azure Immortal Realm for hundreds of millions of years. At the peak of his power, his cultivation had reached the Third Heavenly God Realm, a realm far beyond what the Western Abyss Dragon King could ever hope to rival.

If he were to encounter the Xun Feng Heavenly God at the peak of his power, Eldrin’s first instinct would undoubtedly be to flee for his life.

Fortunately, the Cyclone God had been trapped for 80 million years, his strength reduced to merely 50 or 60 percent. Further constrained by the 8 Winds of the Fuyao Grotto-Heaven, he could hardly unleash his full prowess. Thus, Eldrin (Person Name) possessed the capacity to contend with him in battle.

Yet even so, facing such a formidable foe, Eldrin was still no match for him.

Although the Wind God of Xun was weakened, his vital energy and physical form withered to the extreme, his divine body remained indestructible. His bones were as eternal as the Immortal Gold of Taiyi, and with the empowerment of his innate origin, he actually dared to strike Eldrin (Person Name) so fiercely that the latter coughed up blood and was sent flying.

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Eldrin immediately activated the Yin-Yang Unity Vessel, using the treasure to amplify his magical power and abilities. With this boost, he finally managed to suppress his declining momentum and subtly gained the upper hand.

"Die!"

After another 30-some exchanges, Eldrin pressed his advantage relentlessly, driving the Celestial God into retreat. He then declared coldly, "Elder Xunfeng, after 80 million years of imprisonment, how much of your Primordial Origin can you possibly still drain?"
