Chapter 1718 : Sweeping Through the 30-3 Heavens

"Slay the old self, and be reborn in nirvana?"

Eldrin murmured softly, his thoughts drifting to Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

In her past life, Li Huang was an ancient demon immortal of the primordial Ziji Realm. In her early years, she ascended to the Immortal Realm, leaving behind a contingency measure in the Ziji Realm to face a future heavenly tribulation.

Later, her true form perished in the Immortal Realm, while the Phoenix Egg in the mortal world was reborn from nirvana with the aid of Eldrin (Person Name).

In a sense, the current Li Huang is the nirvana incarnation of her former self, and the 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix Nirvana Method likely follows a similar principle.

As a native true spirit of the Abyssal Realm, Lihuang had now reached the Grand Unity Realm in cultivation, yet her memories remained unreturned.

"Could it be that in her past life, she was actually a mighty Celestial Immortal?"

Eldrin murmured softly, then quickly shook the thought away, refusing to dwell on it further.

With the battle now decisively won, there were still countless matters awaiting resolution—this was no time for idle contemplation.

The great battle had now drawn to a complete close. After cleansing the battlefield, everyone soon gathered within the grand hall.

In the grand hall atop the Empyrean Summit, the assembly could not help but reveal ecstatic expressions as they beheld the countless treasures before them.

In this battle, the top prodigies of the demon and god races were nearly annihilated. The group had seized so many treasures that every present individual could multiply their wealth several times over.

Among these treasures, there were over a 100 Dao Origins transcending the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation alone—80-9 from the Ninth Tribulation, 13 Forbidden Dao Origins, including 4 that rivaled the protagonists of the Dao Calamity in potency.

There were over 20 Primordial Treasures, along with a considerable number of Primordial Marvels and divine objects.

As for the Dao Origins below the 9 Tribulations, they were virtually countless.

Gazing upon so many divine artifacts, even the direct disciples of the great Luo Ancient Sect felt their hearts stir with profound excitement.

Everyone watched Eldrin, anticipating that he, as the most powerful among them, would distribute the treasures.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly and said, "As per convention, all of you may exchange based on your military merits, and the order of exchange shall prioritize those with greater achievements."

At this point, Eldrin looked at Sun Qian and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, you have endured humiliation to fulfill a greater mission and are the greatest contributor to this battle. Let us begin the replacement with you, Fellow Daoist Sun."

"Very well."

Sun Qian did not decline. He directly took over the Dao Origin of the Azure Sun Imperial Scion.

This Dao Origin of the Azure Sun Imperial Scion was 1 of the 3 most precious Dao Origins, sufficient to aid him in assailing the 12 Tribulations Realm.

Seeing this, Eldrin returned the Dao Origin of the 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix. This object held little use for Eldrin, and giving it to Lyra and Jiang Daoxu would merely be adding flowers to brocade.

Yet it resonated perfectly with Ye Qingfeng’s cultivation path. As the foremost disciple of Eldrin (Person Name), his cultivation had already reached the Great Unity Realm. If he could merge with this artifact and undergo arduous training for 1,000,000 years, he would inevitably step into the forbidden domain.

If Ye Qingfeng were granted sufficient serendipity to comprehend his own path to the heavens, it would be entirely possible for him to even set foot in the forbidden realm of the 12 Heavenly Tribulations.

After Eldrin (Person Name), Jiang Daoxu did not take the Source of the Path, but directly exchanged for the Golden Crow clan’s Grade 9, Superior-Class ancient ship.

This 9-tier, superior-grade ancient vessel was of immeasurable worth, the most valuable treasure to emerge from this Dao Calamity. Yet, it held comparatively less allure for those who had once again stepped into the forbidden realms.

Jiang Daoxu had already reached the Twelfth Tribulation realm, and the Source of the Dao was no longer of use to him. Thus, he exchanged it for this object to enhance the foundation of the Taixu Grotto-Heaven.

The final 12 Calamity Dao Origin thus fell into Lyra's hands.

This object held little use for Lyra (Person Name), yet for the venerable Eastern Emperor Chen Qiyuan, it was a supreme treasure—1 that could enable his Solar Dao Principles to undergo yet another metamorphosis.

Seeing this, the rest of the crowd also began exchanging for Dao Origins.

A full 13 forbidden Dao Origins were swiftly divided among the assembly, with the Chen Clan securing 7 of them.

The remaining 80-9 9 Tribulations Dao Sources were not taken in such great quantity by the Chen Clan, who claimed only 20-8 of them.

No 1 present had any objections to the Chen Clan taking so many Daozhiyuan (Dao Origins).

After all, the Chen Immortal Clan possessed 2 Tribulation Transcendence protagonists—Eldrin and Lyra—along with 4 taboo prodigies: Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu, Chen Qiyuan, and Kael. Their peak combat strength accounted for half of all present human forces, making it only fitting they received such a substantial share.

Afterward, the group divided the Innate Treasures and rare wonders among themselves. The Chen Clan obtained over a dozen Innate Marvels and treasures, including the Cyan-Gold Ancient Cauldron and the Golden Sun Bell.

After the treasures had all been distributed, Eldrin gazed at the delighted expressions of the crowd and could not help but speak up.

"Esteemed colleagues, the protagonists of the Heavenly Tribulation from both the demon and god races have been nearly eradicated, with only the Glacial Soul Sanctum of the 6 Northern Celestial Domains still holding firm."

"Now it is time for us to sweep across the Qingcang Immortal Realm and bring this Dao Tribulation to its final end."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Fengyun Daozu gave a faint smile, stroking his beard as he said, "The Dao Calamity spans 1 100 1000 years, and only 40 1000 have passed thus far."

"Once we sweep through the Eldritch Heaven Realm, we’ll still have at least 50,000 years left to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm."

Eldrin nodded and said with a smile, "I intend to gather the destiny of the Qingcang Celestial Realm and combine it with the power of the 30-3 Heavens to construct a Grand Formation of the 30-3 Heavens."

"At that time, with the creation of the 30-3 Heavens and the boundless power of fortune, should you refine the Source of Dao to breach the forbidden realm, your foundation might advance yet another step."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts swelled with even greater excitement.

If Eldrin's plan succeeded, their cultivation might truly advance to the next stage.

Individuals like Chen Ethan (Person Name), Yan Purple Maiden, and Luo Ming were highly likely to harness boundless providence and the Origin of Dao to comprehend their own paths. Supplemented by the 30-3 Heavens Creation, they could break through the forbidden realms.

Even the Pure Yang Saint Son, Feng Wuyi, and others could potentially rebuild their foundations, advancing a 100 feet further from the pinnacle, and cultivate a world-shaking foundation of 11 heavenly tribulations.

At this thought, Sun Qian opened his eyes and declared, “Then let’s not delay. We must act immediately.”

As the conflict in the Taixu Mountain Range drew to a close, the human prodigies immediately divided their forces and advanced in all directions, sweeping across the entire Vast Azure Immortal Domain.

Wherever he passed, the demons and gods either turned to dust and ashes or scrambled to conceal themselves and evade the tribulation.

Eldrin and Lyra personally journeyed to the Frostsoul Celestial Realm, only to discover upon arrival that the conflict there had already concluded.

Back when the Void-Severing Mountains were sealed by the Yin-Yang Star-Sealing Grand Array, the Ice Soul Celestial Maiden had sensed the impending danger. Without hesitation, she broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm to evade the calamity.

After the Ice Soul Celestial Maiden achieved her breakthrough, Taiyang Wuji swept through the 6 Western Celestial Domains unchallenged, establishing himself as the dominant force of the 6 Northern Celestial Domains.

Deep within the Frigid Jade Sky Domain, Eldrin met with Taiyang Wuji.

Taiyang Wuji gazed at Eldrin (Person Name), sighing with emotion as he remarked, "I long suspected you were no ordinary soul confined to a pond, yet I never imagined you had already swept through all opposition."

"This victory was achieved through the united efforts of all our fellow Daoist comrades of the human race, not by my merit alone."

Eldrin smiled, not claiming all the credit for himself.
