Chapter 1745 : Chaos Yin Yang Sword Art

Eldrin still possessed a wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi. By infusing it into the Whirlwind Gourd Vine, he could empower the Whirlwind God-Slaying Gourd with enough potency to vanquish a Seventh-Level Celestial Immortal.

However, the Gale-Severing Divine Calabash, being merely a mid-grade innate treasure, likely possessed power comparable only to the combined might of the Sky-Sundering Twin Swords.

Eldrin already possessed the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss. While this object couldn't be considered entirely useless to him, its practical value was ultimately rather limited.

Most crucially, what Eldrin wished to advance was not the Innate Wind Gourd Vine, but the Innate Primordial Chaos Vial.

The Primordial Vessel of Heaven and Earth Qi possessed supreme and wondrous functions, capable of nurturing the Supreme Immortal Root and even accelerating the growth of Primordial Ancient Trees. It was the very foundation of Eldrin's path to enlightenment.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) calculations, if the Primordial Heaven and Earth Qi Bottle were to advance into an Innate Ancient Treasure, the innate spiritual water it nurtured would contain a trace of the profound mysteries of the Heaven and Earth Qi Dao, transforming into the Primordial Heaven and Earth Qi Water.

And that Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth Water might help the Primordial Ancient Tree break through its bottleneck and advance to a mid-grade Primordial Ancient Tree.

If all 20-4 of Eldrin's (Person Name) Primordial Trees were to advance to the middle grade, his cultivation speed would undoubtedly soar to unprecedented heights. Breaking through a single layer of cultivation in 1 million years might no longer be a distant dream.

"To advance to an innate ancient treasure requires at least 6 strands of Primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi. At my current rate of refining 1 strand every 200,000 years..."

"It seems to have been merely 1 million years."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, a ripple of emotion shimmering in his gaze.

He took a deep breath. By lying low for a million years, relying on the colossal immortal source mine and the Heaven-Earth Qi Vessel—a primordial ancient treasure—he would usher in his moment to soar.

"For now, I shall lie low for a time. When my cultivation reaches the Third Heavenly Layer of the Celestial Immortal realm, that will be my moment to venture into the Primordial Chaos."

"Before that, I must cultivate more techniques to guard against unforeseen perils when stepping into the Chaos."

Eldrin suppressed his thoughts and began to contemplate the other 2 methods of enhancing his combat prowess.

The method of combining 5 innate natal treasures as array vessels was something Eldrin had yet to fully comprehend. However, he had already grasped some preliminary insights into deducing sword techniques.

With this thought, Eldrin immediately stepped into the Return to Void Grotto-Heaven, embarking on a period of seclusion to deduce the sword art techniques.

A sword art, in essence, is a lethal combat technique specifically devised for swordplay.

This path is 1 of ultimate extremity. They have forsaken all other methods of attack and mystical applications, focusing solely on the art of sword-based assault. Though their destructive power remains unparalleled under heaven, it carries with it a profound flaw.

Back in the mortal realm, there were indeed those who specialized in this very path—take Lin Tianqi, for instance, who also walked this road.

However, this path, despite its formidable power, possesses an extreme exclusivity.

Take Lin Tianqi as an example. He attained enlightenment through sword cultivation, forging immortal essence of unparalleled sharpness capable of unleashing ultimate destructive power. This heightened the lethality of his divine ability, the Immortal Slaying Sword, by 50 percent.

However, such sword essence could only be employed to wield immortal swords and sword-based divine abilities. If used to activate other types of immortal treasures or other forms of supernatural powers, its efficacy would be drastically diminished.

An identical immortal treasure, when wielded by a sword cultivator, would manifest less than half the potency of an ordinary immortal.

It is precisely for this reason that immortals who specialize in the Sword Dao often find their defensive capabilities lacking by a slight margin.

Of course, Celestial Immortals had already transcended the mundane. Upon reaching this realm, they became capable of resolving certain inherent flaws. Thus, sword cultivators beyond the Celestial Immortal realm would diverge into 3 distinct paths.

These 3 paths represent 3 distinct schools: Ultimate Annihilation, Balanced Sword Dao, and Myriad Dao Convergence.

Among the 3 schools, the Path of Extreme Annihilation through Sword Dao represents the ultimate pursuit of destructive power. Practitioners of this path wholly forsake all magical treasures and divine abilities, refining their immortal essence to an indestructible state.

Even their physical bodies could transform into swords of slaughter.

It can be said that sword cultivators who master the ultimate path of slaughter wield the most terrifying offensive prowess in sword dao, enabling them to challenge foes beyond their cultivation realm.

However, lacking any means of self-protection, they could easily fall prey to ambushes and be slain by immortals whose cultivation was far inferior to their own.

The Way of Equilibrium Sword Art was precisely the sword path cultivated by the Daoist of the Divine Abyss. The Divine Abyss Sword Art he obtained embodied this balanced approach, harmonizing both offense and defense.

The immortal origin cultivated through such sword dao, though sharp and fierce, could still drive other types of immortal treasures—and even unleash 90 to 1 100 percent of their power.

However, due to its emphasis on defense, this sword art offered only a modest boost to offensive power—merely amplifying the might of immortal swords and sword-based divine abilities by 20 to 30 percent.

The Path of 10 1000 Converging Streams is the most unique, requiring those who walk this road to simultaneously comprehend the Way of the Sword while gaining insight into another Great Dao.

For instance, the Void-Severing Sword Dao pioneered by the Void-Severing Sword Master of the Ethereal Abyss Sect exemplifies this approach, seamlessly merging the Dao of Space with the Dao of the Sword.

With the unparalleled lethality of sword arts, combined with the formless mobility of spatial laws, he possessed not only overwhelming offensive power but also astonishing means of self-preservation.

The Grand Void Sword Master cultivated the Grand Void Sword Art, which not only posed a threat to the Ancient Immortal mighty ones but also allowed him to traverse the void and escape at will. Even the Ancient Immortal mighty ones found it exceedingly difficult to eliminate him.

The Path of Ultimate Sword, The Path of Equilibrium Sword, The Path of Convergent Sword.

Eldrin murmured softly, his heart now set upon the path he would tread.

The Way of Equilibrium Sword Art was far too moderate and mediocre, something Eldrin did not hold in high regard. His Primordial Chaos Heavenly Scripture encompassed all things and was capable of amplifying the power of all spells, divine abilities, and ancient treasures by 50 percent, far surpassing this Equilibrium Sword Art.

Although the Path of Ultimate Sword Art boasts unparalleled offensive power, it requires abandoning all other methods to cultivate the sword dao exclusively.

For Eldrin to abandon his lifelong cultivation achievements in pursuit of the ultimate sword path would be putting the cart before the horse.

In Eldrin's view, abandoning everything in pursuit of the sword path was ultimately nothing more than a heretical doctrine.

The true path to the heavens lies in directly harnessing the Sword Dao for oneself—completely subduing, suppressing, and ultimately mastering this great Dao, integrating it into 1’s own cultivation path.

He aspired to be the master of the sword path, not its slave.

"The Chaos Heavenly Scripture encompasses all things, capable of manifesting every facet of heaven and earth—thus it can naturally give rise to the Dao of the Sword."

"Using this as a foundation, I have derived a volume of Chaos Sword Art to serve as my path of slaughter and self-preservation."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly as he brewed a cup of Innate Enlightenment Tea (Spiritual Item). Savoring it slowly, he suddenly slipped into a state of profound epiphany.

Thus time flowed on, with heaven and earth shifting and the mountains and rivers transforming. When Eldrin opened his eyes, a chaotic sword qi erupted between his opening and closing eyelids, splitting into a light of yin and yang that seemed capable of tearing apart the primordial chaos.

"Countless millennia have passed in this great dream; what year is this very night?"

Eldrin's gaze cleared from his state of sudden enlightenment, and he largely comprehended the sword path he had just realized.

Chaos Yin Yang Sword Art!

The Chaos Yin-Yang Sword Art encompasses the Great Dao of Pure Yang Heavenly Flame and Profound Abyss True Water. Eldrin fused it with the way of the sword, creating an exclusive sword art for the Twin Swords of Heavenly Departure.

By employing this sword art to wield the Twin Celestial Swords of Separation, 1 could amplify the might of these immortal blades twofold, elevating their power to a level approaching that of a superior-grade innate treasure.

If Eldrin (Person Name) were to unleash the combined power of the Twin Li Swords with this sword technique, the resulting offensive force would be amplified to such an extreme degree that it could likely pose a threat even to a late-stage Celestial Immortal.
