Chapter 1765 : Chaotic 9-Tailed Mastiff
Clang—
In an instant, chaotic sword energies crisscrossed and intertwined, cleaving through the vast primordial chaos as they surged into the heart of the Chaotic Nest.
But at that very moment, the Chaos Nest erupted with a thunderous roar. Immediately after, several Chaos Beasts—resembling wolf-mastiffs with 3 heads and 9 tails each—burst forth from the nest.
Chaotic 9-Tailed Ao.
The moment he laid eyes on the several colossal beasts, Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly.
Ancient beasts capable of surviving within the Chaos were, at minimum, all Chaos Ancient Beasts of the Taiyi Realm. The Chaos 9-Tailed Ao within this Chaos Lair before them was an even more ancient bloodline among the Chaos Ancient Beasts.
They were born of the primordial chaos, naturally feeding upon the myriad universes. Upon reaching maturity, their cultivation rivaled that of Celestial Immortals.
"He's not an easy mark."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, then with a flick of his sleeve summoned back the Sky-Sever Twin Swords, only to find them stained with primordial chaos blood.
Amidst the Chaotic 9-Tailed Ao, an ancient beast of the ninth-tier lower grade bore a sword wound so deep the bone was visible, clearly having suffered no light injury.
Eldrin had managed to severely injure a primordial chaos beast with a single ambush strike, seemingly gaining the upper hand. Yet, inwardly, he was deeply shaken.
"The might of my Heavenly Union Twin Blades, combined with the advantage of a surprise attack—even a mid-stage Celestial Immortal caught off guard would be slain in 1 strike. How could it fail to kill a mere ninth-tier, lower-grade Primordial Chaos Beast?"
"Argh—"
Just as Eldrin was reeling in shock, 5 Chaos 9-Tailed Mastiffs roared and soared into the sky, closing in on him from all directions.
The foremost and mightiest 9-tailed mastiff swept its claw downward in a devastating slash, its overwhelming force cleaving through the vast primordial chaos as it struck toward Eldrin.
Intent on testing his opponent, Eldrin (Person Name) channeled the Primordial Chaos Wuji Dao Principle into his palm and met the strike head-on. Yet a overwhelming divine force crashed down upon him, forcing him back several steps.
Yet the Chaos 9-Tailed Ao suffered a hidden loss, sent flying backward by the blow and stirring colossal chaos waves in its wake.
"What a formidable physical body."
With a single strike to defeat his foe, Eldrin seized the momentum to break free from the encirclement, a trace of solemnity crossing his face.
Empowered by the Primordial Chaos rules, his palm strike rivaled the full-force blow of a late-stage Celestial Immortal, yet it failed to inflict even a scratch upon the Chaos 9-Tailed Ao. This left Eldrin profoundly shaken.
"Although this Chaos 9-Tailed Ao's cultivation is only comparable to a mid-stage Celestial Immortal, its physical body far surpasses others of the same rank, strong enough to rival a perfected Innate Physique."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, the faint trace of disdain in his gaze fading away.
Amidst this chaos, the magical power and Dao principles of ordinary Celestial Immortals and mighty figures would be suppressed by the chaotic qi. Only the physical body could unleash its full strength.
In contrast, the Primordial Chaos Beasts derived all their combat prowess from their physical bodies. At the mid-stage Celestial Immortal realm, they already possessed physical strength comparable to that of late-stage Celestial Immortals. No wonder Celestial Immortal experts who ventured deep into the Chaos found themselves no match for these beasts of the same realm.
Fortunately, Eldrin possessed a formidable foundation. The Primordial Chaos Unity Rule and the Immeasurable Dao Fruit remained completely unaffected by the chaos energy, allowing him to wield their full power.
Moreover, the Primordial Chaos Immortal Body allowed Eldrin to draw upon the essence of chaos for his own use. As a result, his combat prowess not only remained undiminished but had even grown subtly. Facing these 5 Chaos 9-Tailed Ao Hounds, he now held a measure of confidence.
"The Chaos Ancient Beast possesses a formidable physical body, making it difficult to kill with a single strike. The best approach is still to eliminate them 1 by 1."
"Then we shall eliminate them 1 by 1, from weakest to strongest!"
As his thoughts drifted, Eldrin (Person Name) summoned the Chaos Heaven Halberd with a turn of his palm, manifesting a chaotic true form spanning millions of light-years to fiercely battle the Ancient Chaos Beast within this expanse of primordial chaos.
In the blink of an eye, this fierce battle had already raged through thousands of exchanges.
It must be admitted that the Primordial Chaos Beasts were truly extraordinary. Each of their strikes possessed the power to shatter the cosmos. An ordinary Seventh-Level Celestial Immortal facing these 5 Primordial Chaos Beasts would likely have perished long ago.
Eldrin pushed the Primordial Immortal Body to its absolute limit, his power now rivaling even that of the primordial chaos beasts. Augmented by the Dao Principles and his magical energy, he faced 5 opponents simultaneously with effortless grace.
After battling for over 8 1000 exchanges, Eldrin finally seized the opening and unleashed the Taiyi Void Cosmos Sword Qi, striking toward the heavily wounded Primal Chaos Ancient Beast.
Clang—
A half-step Sect Master-level killing technique was unleashed, augmented by the Chaos Void Sword Art. From the very outset, it displayed world-sundering divine might capable of cleaving heaven and earth.
The overwhelming sword aura cleaved through the vast chaos, severing the 3 heads of the primordial beast in 1 fluid motion.
"Argh—"
The Chaos 9-Tailed Mastiff let out a cry of agony. This ancient beast possessed no primordial soul, and once its head was severed, not a shred of vitality remained. After thrashing violently for a brief moment, it sank into the churning chaos.
As 1 Chaos 9-Tailed Ao fell, the remaining 4 primordial chaos beasts grew increasingly savage. Roaring with power capable of rending heaven and earth, they charged forth to utterly annihilate Eldrin (Person Name).
The leading Chaos 9-Tailed Ao went berserk, its 3 wolf heads spewing forth 3 terrifying forces: thunder, flames, and astral winds.
"Bzzz—"
Facing such a strike, Eldrin neither retreated nor evaded. Instead, he raised his palm to summon the Primordial Chaos True Aura as defense. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the Heaven-Severing and Earth-Parting Swords crossed and merged as 1, unleashing once more the formidable power of their combined might.
With a sharp clang, the Heaven-Severing Twin Swords tore through the primordial chaos, instantly beheading 1 of the ancient chaos beasts and leaving it grievously wounded.
But before Eldrin could strike again, another Chaos 9-Tailed Ao roared and charged forth, violently slamming into him and sending him flying backward. He missed this single strike, kill-or-be-killed opportunity.
"Troublesome."
Eldrin steadied himself, only to feel a violent surge of qi and blood within his body. He then realized he had sustained considerable internal injuries.
He hastily consumed the Innate Spirit Water and circulated the Life Dao Principles to heal his wounds, instantly feeling his injuries restored to their original state.
Only then did he break through the chaos and rise, gazing at the 4 roaring primordial beasts charging toward him, and felt a slight sense of reassurance in his heart.
1 of the primordial chaos beasts was gone, leaving only 4 to gang up on him. Eldrin now had confidence he could force a kill.
In the blink of an eye, Eldrin unleashed the Primordial Chaos True Aura, charging with indomitable resolve toward the severely wounded Primordial Chaos Beast.
The Primal Chaos Beast immediately recoiled in shock and burst backward, while the other 3 Primal Chaos 9-Tailed Mastiffs charged forth recklessly, desperate to block Eldrin's advance.
Yet at this moment, Eldrin had become utterly unstoppable.
Boom—
In the blink of an eye, Eldrin unleashed the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand, suppressing the leader of the Chaotic 9-Tailed Ao in an instant.
Right after, he unleashed the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, striking the second mid-Heavenly Immortal realm Chaos 9-Tailed Ao and sending it flying backward.
The remaining early-stage Celestial Immortal was far too slow, and was effortlessly evaded by Eldrin (Person Name), utterly incapable of mounting any obstruction.
"Break—"
Shaking off the 3 Chaos Ancient Beasts, Eldrin hurled the Chaos Heavenly Halberd with explosive force, piercing straight through the heart of the severely wounded 9-Tailed Chaos Lynx.
The Primordial Chaos Beast roared in its death throes, writhing violently within the chaotic void until it finally fell into eternal silence.
"Roar——"
As the second Chaos 9-Tailed Mastiff fell in battle, the leader of the Chaos 9-Tailed Mastiffs grew increasingly frenzied.
Amidst the chaos, it roared incessantly, bearing a death-defying resolve to engage in a final showdown with Eldrin (Person Name).
