Chapter 1812 : The Unstoppable Fist of Primordial Chaos

In that instant, the Heavenly Layers [the highest celestial realms] fell silent, All Things Lose Color [a supreme technique that drains all color and vitality from existence], and even the flow of space and time seemed to congeal.

Immediately, the God-Slaying Ancient Spear shattered into several fragments that flew back with tremendous force, each piece striking Cang Jun's Physical Body [his corporeal form, forged through cultivation].

The residual power of that single finger strike did not end there; it transformed into a blade of Primordial Chaos [the formless state before creation] that surged through the Firmament [the vault of heaven], violently hurling Cang Jun backward.

"Aaaargh—!"

In that very moment, a scream of utter agony tore through the void.

Every bone and sinew in Cang Jun's body was shattered. His once-overbearing, arrogant aura was extinguished in an instant, leaving him with wounds of unprecedented severity.

"Impossible!"

In a flash, Cang Jun roared with immense indignation and sought to disengage from the battle.

Yet, in that same fleeting moment, Eldrin Chen manifested his Innate Primordial Indestructible True Body [a supreme, unbreakable physique born of primordial essence], his form swelling to a height of millions upon millions of light-years. With a single, effortless step, he traversed the vast celestial expanse, caught up to Cang Jun, and unleashed a devastating fist.

It was a display of world-shaking, majestic Immortal Grace [the transcendent elegance and power of an immortal], a peerless demeanor that looked down upon all under heaven. With that single punch, he unleashed a divine might capable of shaking the Heavenly Layers and the eight directions of the world. This chapter is provided by audio-novel dot com.

The Heavenly Layers [the higher planes of existence] wailed, the Great Dao [the fundamental laws of the cosmos] wept in sorrow.

Under this single fist, ten thousand Daos shattered, gods and ghosts were annihilated, all things crumbled—utterly unstoppable.

"No—!"

Cang Jun roared in despair, yet was so terrified his very soul seemed to rupture. At this Life and Death [a moment of utmost peril between life and death] juncture, he desperately hurled an ancient cauldron at Eldrin Chen, hoping to seize a sliver of survival.

But Eldrin Chen was resolved to slay him this time. This strike not only channeled the invincible true power of his Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [a legendary constitution born with unbreakable primordial essence], but also pushed his own Mana [the refined spiritual energy cultivated by immortals] and Dao Fruit [the ultimate crystallization of one's cultivation path] to their absolute limits. Its might was sufficient to shatter the heavens, cleave the earth, and subdue gods and demons alike.

It would sever everything!

"BOOM—!"

In a Ksana-time [an infinitesimal moment], the ancient cauldron exploded violently into three massive fragments, smashing directly into Cang Jun's Physical Body [the corporeal form of a cultivator, refined through cultivation].

The fist arrived in the same instant, instantly causing Cang Jun's Physical Body to disintegrate. A cataclysmic surge of Chaos Qi [primordial, formless energy from before creation] erupted in its wake, sweeping through the eight directions and grinding all to nothingness.

When the chaos finally settled, the onlookers realized that Cang Jun's Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and true essence of a cultivator] had already been extinguished, and even his Physical Body had completely dissolved into oblivion.

"He... is dead?"

Western Qi Celestial God murmured, his face etched with disbelief.

At the same time, Eldrin Chen slowly withdrew his hand, his expression calm as he spoke. "You could not withstand even two of my strikes. I overestimated you."

"BOOM—"

In that moment, the Heavenly Layers [the stratified realms of heaven] roiled, the assembled deities were gripped by terror, and every onlooker was struck dumb with shock.

Taiyang, the Imperial Son of Tai Cang looked towards Eldrin Chen, his throat working soundlessly for a moment, words failing him.

In the end, he could only release a sigh, leaving behind a profound and speechless silence.

Eldrin Chen stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his countenance remaining utterly serene. Though this battle seemed to involve only two strikes from him, each blow was a full-powered, all-out assault. Once unleashed, such attacks required a period of recovery to restore his Qi and Blood [the vital life force and essence of a cultivator].

Yet it was undeniable—the Innate Primordial Indestructible Physique [a legendary, heaven-defying body constitution born with supreme durability] was truly and extraordinarily powerful.

To shatter a High-Grade Innate Treasure [a top-tier magical artifact born from the primal forces of heaven and earth] with the power of one's Physical Body [the cultivated mortal frame]... such a physique was likely robust enough to contend directly with most Innate Ancient Treasure [ancient magical treasures of innate origin].

"Hmmmm—" [a deep, resonant hum]

In that very instant, the Void erupted with a violent, thunderous roar.

Western Qi Celestial God and the others snapped to awareness, desperately trying to shatter the Void to flee for their lives, yet they failed utterly.

For there, at the very edge of the Void Heaven, the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void spun, its world-shaking divine power having already frozen this entire layer of the Heavenly Layers. The cultivators crashed against the solidified Void as if against an unyielding wall.

Seizing this opportunity, Lyra Jiang and her companions traversed the Heavenly Layers and swiftly surrounded the trapped group.

"BOOM—" The complete novel can be found at http://www . audio-novel.com.

Eldrin Chen also took a single, decisive step forward. With a mere flick of his sleeve, a palm descended to suppress all. In an instant, Western Qi Celestial God was pulverized into a crimson mist.

The other Celestial God [deities who have ascended to a high level of celestial cultivation] witnessing this were filled with terror and furious despair. "Western Qi has doomed us!" they cried out in rage.

Yet Eldrin Chen showed no mercy. His palm strike ground everything to nothingness, annihilating the gathered deities in a heartbeat. Even the two Late Heaven Immortal Realm [cultivators who have reached the late stage of the Heaven Immortal realm] from the Demonic Tribe were extinguished between one breath and the next.

When the chaos settled and silence reclaimed the space, only Yuanzhi the Daoist and his partner, the Violet-Azure Sword Immortal, remained standing in the field.

"Spare me!"

In that fleeting instant, Yuanzhi the Daoist was gripped by unparalleled terror.

As the lord of a Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm of profound spiritual energy], he shamelessly threw himself to his knees, pleading, "Senior, spare me! I beg you, for the sake of our shared Human Race heritage, grant me a chance to live!"

"Yuanzhi the Daoist?"

Eldrin Chen spoke softly, his gaze resting calmly yet with a trace of complexity upon the kneeling figure of Yuanzhi the Daoist.

To be fair, Eldrin Chen harbored rather complicated feelings towards the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven.

It was the first Human Race Grotto-Heaven he had encountered after ascending to the Immortal Domain [the higher realm of immortals]. For a very long initial period, the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven had been an utterly unattainable existence for him.

Back then, Yuanzhi the Daoist was a figure akin to a Myth [a legendary tale] in Eldrin Chen's eyes.

Who could have imagined that millions of years would pass in the blink of an eye? The once lofty and unapproachable Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven now seemed insignificant in my sight.

And now, this supremely dignified Lord of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven knelt before me, begging for nothing more than a chance to live.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to Yuanzhi the Daoist and inquired, "After the death of Divine Abyss Daoist, your lineage still had several Heaven Immortal [immortals who have ascended to the celestial realm], including Qingxuan, Golden Flame, Violet Lightning, and Azure Frost. Why have only the three of you come today?"

"This..."

Hearing this, Yuanzhi the Daoist stammered incoherently, at a loss for how to respond.

Witnessing this, the Violet Lightning Sword Immortal beside him turned away with a sigh and said, "After our Founding Patriarch of Divine Abyss fell, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan and Golden Flame Ancient Ancestor both abandoned the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm of profound spiritual energy]. They have long since defected from the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight, understanding nod.

He looked at Yuanzhi the Daoist, a trace of mockery in his expression, and remarked, "Golden Flame Ancient Ancestor was merely a guest Grand Elder of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven. His departure is within my comprehension."

"But Fellow Daoist Qingxuan was your dual cultivation partner. Yet even she chose to abandon you. You truly are a failure as a man."

These words left Yuanzhi the Daoist utterly speechless.

Observing his silence, Divine Lord Glaze spoke up with a cold laugh. "That Qingxuan, the Immortal Maiden was originally the most Heaven's Chosen [a prodigy blessed by heaven] Holy Maiden of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven thirty million years ago. She had a true love in her heart, but was forcibly taken by him because he desired her."

"Although Qingxuan, the Immortal Maiden later broke through to the Heaven Immortal Realm, she was compelled by the pressure from Divine Abyss Daoist to unite with him. Thus, she harbored deep-seated Grudge [a profound resentment born of injustice] in her heart. Her defection from the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven after Divine Abyss Daoist's fall was only to be expected."

At these words, Divine Lord Glaze could not help but reveal a cold, mocking smile.

Back then, Yuanzhi the Daoist, relying on the influence of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven, had tried to force her to become his concubine. Had it not been for the solidarity among the Hundred Clans of Immortal Spirits and the fact that myself had offered thirty-six Vast Sea Divine Pearl [divine pearls containing the essence of the vast sea], she would likely have been humiliated by Yuanzhi the Daoist long ago.

Now, witnessing Yuanzhi the Daoist abandoned by all, a sliver of vindictive pleasure surfaced in her heart.

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. He turned his gaze to Yuanzhi the Daoist, his expression calm as he spoke, "There is a secret. It is time I told you."

"A secret?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanzhi the Daoist felt a premonition of doom.

Eldrin Chen nodded, stating placidly, "Your grandfather, Divine Abyss Daoist. I killed him."

"No..."

Despair flashed across Yuanzhi the Daoist's face, and he immediately tried to turn and flee.

He knew that if Eldrin Chen had not revealed this secret to him, there might have been a sliver of a chance for survival. But now that Eldrin Chen had told him, it was absolutely certain his life would not be spared.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen flicked his sleeve and pointed a finger. In an instant, a dazzling divine radiance pierced through the Void [a profound spatial manipulation technique], reducing Yuanzhi the Daoist to a bloody mist, his soul and bones utterly annihilated into dust.

If you cut the weeds but do not remove the roots, they will sprout again with the spring breeze.

Although Eldrin Chen felt that Yuanzhi the Daoist posed no possible threat to myself, to prevent future calamity, he still utterly extinguished this person.

As for whether Yuanzhi the Daoist could revive after Reincarnation [the cycle of death and rebirth], Eldrin Chen truly did not care in his heart.

In this life, he could slay this man; thus, he could slay him in the next life, and the life after that, until he completely ground his Soul Spirits [the spiritual essence of a being] to dust. Only when the True Spirit [the fundamental, indestructible spiritual origin] gave birth to a new soul would he finally become another person entirely.

After killing Yuanzhi the Daoist, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze towards the two Immortals, Violet Lightning and Azure Frost.

Seeing this, the two Sword Immortals, Violet Lightning and Azure Frost, could not help but turn pale.

Finally, Azure Frost let out a sigh and spoke, "Coming here today, it seems my husband and I were fated to face this tribulation. Whether you kill or dismember us, we are at your mercy."

Eldrin Chen saw this and smiled faintly. With a sweep of his sleeve, he lifted the two of them and said, "Now that all others from the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven have fled in betrayal, only you two, a husband and wife, have remained. This shows you are truly people who value loyalty."

"Such individuals, I cannot bear to kill."

"Enough. Considering your many years of cultivation were not easily attained, I shall not execute you both today."

After these words, Eldrin Chen looked at the two and said, "This Sovereign punishes you to guard the Chaos Abyssal Cavern for one Calamity Tribulation [a vast cosmic cycle of immense duration], transforming Immortal Spirit Qi [the supreme spiritual energy of the immortal realm] for the myriad beings of the Immortal Domain. Are you willing to accept this punishment?"

Upon hearing this, the two sword immortals, Violet Lightning and Azure Frost, were visibly shaken.

Their cultivation over the years had been arduous. Now that they could avoid death, how could their hearts not stir with hope?

The Violet Lightning Sword Immortal immediately bowed deeply, clasping his hands in gratitude. "If the Divine Lord is willing to spare our lives, we are naturally endlessly grateful."

"For the remainder of our existence, we two shall guard within the Chaos Abyssal Cavern, never again to emerge from the Cavernous Abyss Sea."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. With these two guarding the Chaos Abyssal Cavern, it would alleviate some pressure on both the Chen Immortal Clan and the Abyssal Immortal Alliance.

Most crucially, the character of these Violet and Azure Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality] was quite commendable. Among the seven great Heaven Immortal [immortals of the heavenly realm] of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven, they were rare individuals of noble virtue. Eldrin Chen was also reluctant to simply destroy them.

He waved his hand dismissively and spoke calmly, "You may go now."

Upon hearing this, the Violet and Azure Immortals once more clasped their hands in salute, and finally departed from the Abyssal Heaven Domain.

Thus, this farce came to an end in this manner.

Afterwards, Eldrin Chen cleaned up the battlefield and, together with the members of the Abyssal Immortal Alliance, entered the Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm of higher spiritual energy] to convene a grand assembly of Heaven Immortal [a powerful immortal realm cultivators].

Within the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven, in the Violet Ye Palace.

Eldrin Chen sat upon the central dais of the Grand Hall, gazing at the assembled Immortal [powerful immortal cultivators] of the Immortal Alliance before him, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.

To his astonishment, seated within the Grand Hall were more than forty Heavenly Immortal Paragon [peak-stage Heaven Immortal cultivators]. This was a development Eldrin Chen had not anticipated.

Over these past years, Eldrin Chen had spent most of his time either within the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation] or in secluded cultivation, wholly focused on preparing for his breakthrough to the Late Heaven Immortal Realm. Consequently, he had paid little attention to the affairs of the Immortal Alliance or the unfolding Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic era of conflict and destiny].

He had not imagined that in the brief span of a few million years, the Abyssal Immortal Alliance would have gained more than twenty additional Heavenly Immortal Paragon.

Among these newly ascended Heaven Immortal, five hailed from the Chen Immortal Clan, including figures like Soren Gu Chen and Valerius Chen. Six were Heaven's Chosen [prodigies blessed by destiny] from the Immortal Clam Race. The remainder were Heaven's Chosen from the various clans within the Abyssal Immortal Alliance.

Among them, Soren Gu Chen was Eldrin Chen's direct grandson, the son of his third son, Caelan Chen, and the most outstanding Heaven's Chosen among Eldrin's grandchildren. It was said he had been one of the central figures in the previous Great Tribulation, having achieved his Dao foundation through the legendary Triple Taiyi Foundation [an immensely rare and powerful foundational cultivation method].

"A single alliance, encompassing the Nine Great Grotto-Heavens, now boasts more than forty Heavenly Immortal Paragon."

"And this doesn't even include Taiyang, the Imperial Son of Tai Cang, Future, Chronos, Eastern Pole, and the other Heaven Immortal [a powerful immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] guardians of the Primordial Chaos Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm of profound spiritual energy and natural laws], nor does it count Xander or Xander Dao and the others."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a flicker of pride coloring his thoughts.

At this rate, it seemed likely that before the Calamity Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly trial that reshapes the world], the Abyssal Immortal Alliance would boast at least fifty Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a pinnacle-level immortal within the Heavenly Immortal realm].

Fifty Heaven Immortal [a powerful immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] within a single alliance—such strength and Deep-Seated Foundation [a profoundly stable and powerful cultivation base] could be considered peerlessly formidable. Even within the vast Azure Firmament Immortal Domain, such power would rank second only to the five great Supreme-Grade Grotto-Heaven [the highest classification of blessed realms].

"Our present Abyssal Immortal Alliance can already be called the foremost Grotto-Heaven [a blessed realm of profound spiritual energy and natural laws] beneath the Ancient Immortals [a venerable and immensely powerful group of immortals from antiquity]."

With this thought, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to the assembled group and declared, "After today's battle, the authority of the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact [a supreme treasure embodying the will and power of the Heavenly Dao] is entirely in our grasp. The Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea now belongs to our Abyssal Heaven Alliance."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, everyone present broke into expressions of profound satisfaction and hearty laughter.

They understood perfectly. With the fall of the two Grotto-Heaven [blessed realms of profound spiritual energy and natural laws]—Western Qi and Divine Abyss—the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven would become the sole sovereign power over the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea.

Contemplating this, Zixuan the Daoist chuckled and said, "With the two great Grotto-Heaven [blessed realms of profound spiritual energy and natural laws] of Western Qi and Divine Abyss destroyed, what sense is there in still calling this place the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea? In my view, from now on it should be renamed the Abyssal Heaven Domain."

"Indeed, indeed! The name Abyssal Heaven Domain [the newly proposed name for the vast immortal territory], what an aura of majesty does it command?"

Upon hearing this, Sky Abyss Daoist [a powerful immortal cultivator] also clasped his hands together and laughed heartily.

Ancient Ruins Yin Lord [an ancient and venerable immortal lord] nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed. As far back as three million years ago, the waters of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [the former name of the vast territory] had already receded by more than half, transforming into endless Great Wilderness [a vast, untamed region of mountains and wilds] mountain ranges."

"The current Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea is a place where the Water Elemental Primordial Qi [the fundamental, primordial energies of creation] has retreated, allowing the Fire, Earth, Wood, and Metal Primordial Qi to resurge. It has become far more prosperous and vibrant than it was in the past."

"In my view, it should have been renamed long ago."

The other assembled immortals all wore smiles, voicing their support for the name change one after another.

Seeing everyone's insistence, Eldrin Chen could only say, "Having been called the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea for millions of years, suddenly changing it to Abyssal Heaven Domain does feel somewhat unfamiliar."

With a faint smile, Eldrin Chen thus formally changed the name of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea to the Abyssal Heaven Domain.

After the renaming, Eldrin Chen raised a hand to quiet the excited chatter of the immortals and continued, "Now, within our Abyssal Immortal Alliance [a grand coalition of immortal forces], we already have more than forty Heavenly Immortal Paragon [the pinnacle stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm, cultivators of immense power], among whom are not a few in the middle and late stages of Heaven Immortal [a high realm of immortal cultivation]."

"Relying solely on the Primordial Qi from the Nine Great Grotto-Heavens [nine supreme paradises and sources of immense spiritual power] to sustain the cultivation of so many powerful Heaven Immortal is already becoming somewhat insufficient."

"Therefore, I intend to merge the two Grotto-Heaven of Western Qi and Divine Abyss, elevating the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven to the rank of a Supreme-Grade Grotto-Heaven [a Grotto-Heaven of the highest possible quality and spiritual density]. I request your aid in this endeavor."

Upon hearing this, the assembled Immortals' faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

For a Heaven Immortal [an Immortal who has ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Realm], a Supreme-Grade Grotto-Heaven not only provides a far greater abundance of Immortal Spirit Qi [the highest grade of spiritual energy used by Immortals], but also offers a significant boost to their cultivation speed.

Although, once elevated, the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven would become the Daoist Assembly Ground [the primary gathering and cultivation site] of the Chen Immortal Clan, and thus unlikely to permit ordinary Heaven Immortal to cultivate at its core.

Yet, given Eldrin Chen's established character, he would most likely open Cultivation Cave [personal meditation chambers] within the periphery of the Abyssal Grotto-Heaven, making them available for the Heaven Immortal Ancient Ancestor [venerable senior cultivators] of the Immortal Alliance to practice within.

Considering this, all the Immortals clasped their hands in delight and declared, "We are willing to lend our strength to the Alliance Lord."

"Excellent."

Eldrin Chen nodded, a faint smile gracing his lips as he announced, "Tomorrow, we begin the work of merging the three Grotto-Heaven." Visit audio_novel.com to enjoy the complete series.
