Chapter 1767 : Forging Immortality in Chaos

Behold, Eldrin Chen ventured into the depths of the Chaos Lair. He laid down an Innate Formation for protection, then set about refining Immortal Pills.

Refining Immortal Pills from the flesh and Inner Pills of Chaos Ancient Beasts was not overly complex. The primary challenge lay in the sheer potency of the beast's flesh, requiring a sufficiently powerful True Flame to refine it.

For an ordinary Early Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator, this task would be immensely difficult. Yet, for Eldrin Chen, who had cultivated the Chaos Primordial Solar Heavenly Flame, it posed no great obstacle.

He first extracted the flesh and Inner Pill of a Ninth Rank lower-grade Chaos Nine-Tails Mastiff. Using his Chaos Flame, he tempered the materials continuously. In just over three thousand years, he had successfully refined a cauldron of Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills.

"Not bad," he murmured.

A faint smile touched Eldrin Chen's lips as he watched seven Immortal Pills fly forth from the alchemical cauldron.

Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills greatly benefited one's Innate Physique. This single batch yielded a full seven pills. For a typical Early Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator, absorbing all seven would likely bring them to the threshold of the Minor Achievement stage for their physique.

Alas, Eldrin Chen's Innate Primordial One Indestructibility Physique was far too formidable, demanding resources several times greater than a common Innate Physique. This handful of Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills was still insufficient.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen began refining once more. Not long after, he produced a second cauldron of Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills, this batch yielding eight pills.

After refining these two batches of Immortal Pills, Eldrin Chen did not cease. He directly brought out the flesh and Inner Pill of the Nine-Tails Mastiff chieftain for another refinement. After ten thousand years of meticulous work, he finally produced a cauldron of Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills. Official source: audio~novel.com. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

The Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill contained several times the Vital Essence [the foundational life force and spiritual energy that constitutes a being's physical form] compared to the Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill, but unfortunately, its success rate in pill formation was considerably lower. Eldrin Chen had only managed to refine three of these Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills.

"Fifteen Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills plus three Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills should be sufficient," he murmured to himself.

After successfully refining the three batches of Immortal Pills, Eldrin Chen gazed at the elixirs and whispered softly. After a brief calculation, he immediately began to refine and absorb a Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill.

This Seven Revolutions Immortal Pill possessed heaven-defying Vital Essence. Consuming a single pill could save a cultivator with an Innate Physique [a cultivator's natural, superior physical constitution] a million years of arduous cultivation.

An ordinary cultivator at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm typically needed only five to ten pills to break through the bottleneck into the Minor Achievement stage of their Innate Physique.

Eldrin Chen's foundation was extraordinary. After refining ten pills in succession, he found that while his physical body had improved tremendously, there was still a significant gap before he could break through to the Mid Celestial Immortal Realm.

Having refined all fifteen Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills, Eldrin Chen realized his physical body still had not reached its absolute limit.

"My physical divine power has increased by twenty percent, yet it seems the peak has not been attained," he assessed.

After refining all the Seven Revolutions Immortal Pills, Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before decisively continuing his cultivation with the Immortal Pills.

He immediately retrieved the three Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills and consumed one of them.

"Boom—"

The moment he swallowed the Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill [a legendary pill capable of refining one's foundation through eight cycles of transformation], Eldrin Chen was instantly assaulted by a torrent of immense energy.

To his astonishment, Eldrin Chen felt an incredibly dense and pure vital essence surging within his body. The Chaos Origin [the primordial source energy at the core of his being] powering his Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable and eternal] had grown substantially.

At this realization, a flicker of joy stirred in Eldrin Chen's heart. Without hesitation, he consumed a second Eight Revolutions Immortal Pill.

After ingesting all three Eight Revolutions Immortal Pills, Eldrin Chen discovered his Primordial One Indestructibility Body had reached a state of absolute saturation. It teetered on the very brink, a mere half-step away from shattering its ultimate barrier.

The once-thin stream of Chaos Origin within him had now expanded into a veritable pond, brimming with an intensely concentrated Chaos Primordial Breath [the most ancient and potent form of chaotic energy].

"Now is the time for the breakthrough,"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, then channeled his divine power to its absolute peak.

With a world-shaking roar, his Primordial One Indestructibility Body shattered that final, extreme barrier, ascending to the Minor Achievement realm.

"Hah—"

Eldrin Chen took a deep breath and swiftly refined ten strands of Innate Energy [the purest form of energy born from the primordial chaos], solidifying his Innate Primordial One Indestructibility Physique [a legendary body cultivation art that grants near-immortality] at the Minor Achievement stage.

"The Innate Primordial One Indestructibility Physique has reached Minor Achievement."

"Success!"

Eldrin Chen spoke softly, a faint smile touching his lips as he sensed the newfound power coursing within his body.

He slowly clenched his fist, discovering that the strength granted by the Innate Primordial One Indestructibility Physique had increased by more than eighty percent—a qualitative leap from its previous state before reaching Minor Achievement.

"With my physical body alone, could I now contend with a cultivator at the Seventh Layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm?" Original publication: audio‑novel.com - The source of this chapter.

Eldrin Chen pondered inwardly, his gaze blazing with a thirst for battle.

Using the combat prowess of Divine Abyss Path Master and Western Essence Heavenly God as benchmarks, he quickly estimated his current level and arrived at a conclusion.

That conclusion was this: relying solely on his physical strength, he might not be confident of defeating these two Seventh Layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm experts, but he could at least ensure he remained undefeated.

If Eldrin Chen's previous combat power was comparable to two Seventh Layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators joining forces, his current self should now be capable of facing three such opponents simultaneously.

This level of combat power, while still not quite matching the pinnacle figures of the Eighth Heaven Celestial Immortal realm, had already drawn remarkably close to them.

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen emerged from his secluded cultivation chamber and said with a faint smile, "They all say the Chaos holds boundless Opportunity and Fortune. To have achieved a minor completion of my Immortal Body so soon after arriving seems to prove it true."

Heartened by this success, Eldrin Chen decided it was time to move on.

After thoroughly scouring the Chaos Lair, he gathered a few pieces of mid-to-low grade Ninth Rank Chaos Divine Material and set his course deeper into the Depths of Chaos.

Thus began a journey that would span over one hundred thousand years.

In the ages that followed, Eldrin Chen wandered the Boundless Chaos, encountering three more Chaos Lair and slaying several Chaos Ancient Beast.

Regrettably, none of these lairs held a Chaos Pool, and thus he obtained no Innate Energy [the primordial, untainted energy from which all things are born].

This left Eldrin Chen somewhat disappointed, a weight of contemplation settling upon him.

"Could it be that even within the Chaos, Innate Energy is exceedingly rare?" he mused.

After a moment of silent thought, Eldrin Chen finally turned his gaze towards the outer fringes of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains.

He understood in his heart that within the bounds of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, suppressed by the invisible formation patterns of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, the Primordial Chaos Energy [the raw, unformed energy from before creation] consequently grew more temperate the closer one moved to the core regions.

And the more temperate the Primordial Chaos Energy, the lesser the risk it posed, and the greater the likelihood it had already been explored.

Conversely, the more violent and turbulent the region, where the Primordial Chaos Energy surged with overwhelming ferocity—places where an ordinary early or mid-stage Celestial Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] would likely perish upon venturing deep—the lower the chance it had been explored.

Therefore, the further one went towards the periphery of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains, those areas bordering the Chaos Deep Sea [the fathomless, turbulent ocean of primordial chaos], the greater the possibility of discovering Innate Energy [the pure, foundational energy inherent to all things at their origin].

"Head for the edges of the Three Thousand Immortal Domains."

Eldrin Chen murmured to himself, and after further contemplation, he set off towards the regions where the Primordial Chaos Energy was most dense.

He traversed the Boundless Chaos [the infinite expanse of unformed reality], and before he knew it, arrived at a turbulent stretch of the Depths of Chaos. He discovered the concentration of Primordial Chaos Energy in the surrounding area had increased severalfold.

And it was within this expanse of Chaos [the primordial state of undifferentiated existence] that Eldrin Chen suddenly sensed the explosive eruption of several incredibly violent auras.

"That is…"

Eldrin Chen whispered, a trace of solemn gravity appearing between his brows.

Behold, within the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before the creation of ordered worlds], several figures of immense and majestic stature were locked in combat.

The battle was between two sides: one was a female immortal at the Early Celestial Immortal Realm [the foundational stage of true celestial immortality], and the other consisted of two Chaos Ancient Beast [primordial monsters born from and dwelling within the Chaos].

The female immortal was already grievously wounded, clearly outmatched by the two Chaos Ancient Beast, and could only rely on a defensive Ice Snow Lotus Throne [a magical throne forged from eternal ice and snow, shaped like a blooming lotus] to protect herself.
