Chapter 1644 : Violet Capital

Although this primordial chaos beast had suffered severe injuries, it was, after all, a creature of the Innate Realm. In terms of physical resilience alone, its body could even rival a top-tier Innate Physique.

Such a primordial chaos beast thrives in the chaotic void like a fish in water. Even an early-stage Celestial Immortal would likely be no match for it. As for mid-stage Celestial Immortals, not even these mighty figures could claim absolute certainty in slaying it.

It was only because of Eldrin's (Person Name) extraordinary Innate Primordial Indestructible Body, which allowed him to unleash 1 100 and 20 percent of his combat power within the chaos, that he managed to slay it today. Even so, this battle was exceptionally arduous for Eldrin (Person Name), requiring immense effort to finally achieve victory.

"Let's see what we've gained."

After slaying the Chaos Ancient Beast, Eldrin was in high spirits.

The Primal Chaos Beast possessed no spiritual intellect, leaving behind only a handful of treasures. Beyond its flesh and bones, the most precious item was an Innate Chaos Inner Core. This core, forged from nearly half of the beast's essence, contained primordial qi within—making it the ultimate resource whether for tempering 1's physical body or refining magical treasures.

"This item as the primary material might be suitable for refining a low-grade Innate Treasure." Gazing at the Primordial Chaos Inner Dan in his hand, Eldrin contemplated the possibility.

He had no intention of extracting the Primordial Qi within, for it had already merged completely with this Chaos Inner Core. Even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal were to intervene and attempt the separation, more than half of the Primordial Qi would inevitably be lost.

Entrusting him with the task of separating this Primordial Chaos Qi would, at best, yield only 30%, likely wasting this rare innate treasure. With this thought, Eldrin stored away the Primordial Chaos Inner Elixir and lifted his gaze toward the heart of the Chaos Nest.

This Chaos Lair did not appear to be naturally formed; it seemed more like an artificially created remnant of an ancient realm. Since he had come this far, he naturally intended to explore it thoroughly. With this thought in mind, he strode forward without hesitation, stepping deep into the heart of the Chaos Lair.

As he ventured deeper, Eldrin grew increasingly certain that this Chaos Lair was anything but ordinary.

This Chaos Nest seemed to have been continuously tempered and reinforced with boundless divine power since its creation, with nearly indestructible Dao marks carved into every inch of its soil.

It was precisely for this reason that even in its broken state, this primordial ancient realm had never been devoured by the chaos.

Unfortunately, this fragmented ancient realm had been eroded day and night by the torrents of chaos, leaving no traces of its former glory. Eldrin could not discern its origins or past.

Eldrin pressed onward through the Chaos Nest, only vaguely sensing the presence of ancient ruins when he reached its heart. There, at the very core of the swirling chaos, a palace drifted in and out of view as though floating upon unseen tides.

It was entirely constructed from piled purple jade, with eaves and beams completely carved with true dragons and immortal phoenixes. Even after hundreds of millions of years, enduring the erosion of chaotic energy, it remained utterly undamaged.

Chaos Ruins.

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly, immediately revealing a hint of delight.

He strode forward to the Violet Jade Palace, discovering a plaque erected before this immortal abode. Upon it were inscribed 3 large characters:

Ziyue Palace.

The Violet Night Palace was preserved in remarkably pristine condition, with even the inner formations still operating flawlessly.

Fortunately, after being eroded by the primordial chaos energy for hundreds of millions of years, the formation's remaining power had drastically diminished—it was no longer sufficient to stop Eldrin. With sheer physical strength, Eldrin forcibly tore through the formation and stepped inside.

In just a few steps, Eldrin entered the Violet Jade Palace, only to discover an ancient stone platform within 1 of its halls. Upon the platform lay 3 treasures: a mysterious yellow war halberd, a white jade precious vase, and a green meditation cushion. Floating before these 3 treasures was a single jade slip.

Eldrin unrolled the jade slip, only to find it densely inscribed with a message: "I, the Violet Night Taoist, am the master of the Violet Night Heaven."

"I have endured countless kalpas of arduous cultivation to attain the Ancient Immortal Realm."

However, the Great Luo Heavenly Pass is difficult to transcend. Of the 9 heavenly barriers—Primordial Spirit, Divine Abilities, Immortal Treasures, Magical Power, the Great Dao, Physical Body, Dao Fruit, Dao Heart, and Fate—I have weathered 6 catastrophic tribulations and broken through 6 barriers, yet I possess no certainty of surviving the seventh tribulation.

Once more, under the protection of the Celestial Court, he arduously cultivated through dozens of kalpas. The barrier of the Dao Fruit was nearly broken—only the trials of Dao Heart and Fate remained formidable to transcend.

“Having taken refuge in the Celestial Court to evade tribulation, my Dao heart bears flaws that can only be tempered by confronting the Cosmic Cataclysm. As for the Trial of Destiny, it demands defying heaven’s decree—a feat as arduous as a mayfly scaling the 9 heavens. I myself hold no certainty of overcoming it.”

"This time I go to breach the Heavenly Pass, glimpsing the rugged path that lies ahead. I leave behind the Purple Ye Heavenly Manor and 3 sacred treasures. Should I not return, those destined shall claim them." "Yet remember well – to claim my treasures is to inherit my karma..."

Eldrin finished reading the jade slip, largely grasping the origins of this Chaos Lair.

It turned out that the Violet Night Daoist was an ancient human immortal who had lived over 80 kalpas ago. He held an official position in the Human Immortal Court and had survived for nearly a 100 kalpas.

And this Chaos Nest was originally named the Violet Night Heaven, a cultivation sanctuary opened by the Violet Night Elder within the primordial chaos.

In his time, Daoist Ziye possessed unparalleled talent, a supreme Ancient Immortal who had shattered the 7 Heavenly Barriers. Within the Human Race's Celestial Court, he stood as a pinnacle existence, second only to the Great Luo Immortal Lords.

In those years, to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he had no choice but to emerge from seclusion and enter the Tribulation of Measurement, seeking to leverage its opportunities to attain the Great Luo realm.

Alas, now that dozens of kalpas had passed, not only had Daoist Ziye failed to return, but even the Ziye Heaven had completely shattered. The outcome, it seemed, needed no explanation.

"The Great Dao Realm is actually this difficult to transcend."

Eldrin murmured softly, his gaze tinged with solemnity.

Over the years, he had encountered several ancient immortal sites, among them an 8-Calamity Ancient Demon, the Fairy Fuyao who once ruled the Qingcang Immortal Domain, the Daoist Jumie hailed as invincible among ancient immortals, and a primordial ice phoenix with astonishing bloodline.

Adding this Elder Ziyie, there were a full 5 ancient immortal mighty experts.

Among these 5 individuals, each was a true prodigy, having shattered at least 6 or 7 Heavenly Barriers.

Throughout an entire immortal realm, they are existences that might not emerge even once in several kalpas, or even dozens of kalpas.

Yet, despite such prodigies of unprecedented talent, not a single 1 could set foot in the Great Perfection Realm. This alone reveals how astonishingly difficult it is to break through to the Great Perfection Realm.

"No wonder it is said that even a Dao Ancestor or Immortal Sage cannot guarantee their disciples will surely break through to the Great Perfection Realm." Eldrin sighed inwardly, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

He suppressed his thoughts and turned his gaze to the 3 treasures upon the stone platform.

These 3 treasures were all immensely valuable, yet they held no further use for the Violet Night Daoist, who thus left them behind. Among the trio, the profound yellow battle halberd was named the Chaos Heaven Halberd (Magic Treasure). Though not an Innate Treasure (Magic Treasure) itself, it surpassed even such treasures in its awe-inspiring power.

Forged from Primordial Chaos Bronze, it was a rare supreme-grade Taiji Immortal Weapon, also known as an Ancient Taiji Treasure.
