Chapter 1782 : Chaotic Saint Spirit, Ao Hong

"Very well."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded, watching as the 2 departed.

After they had departed, Eldrin returned to the Chaos 9 Dragon Nest.

He gazed at the Chaos Saint before him, channeling the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang Stars Dao for what felt like an eternity, yet still found himself unable to discern whether this primordial spirit could truly be revived.

"Chaos Saint is of the Primordial Chaos God-Demon lineage. With my Mystic-tier deduction divine ability, I ultimately cannot calculate whether it can be revived."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, and after repeated hesitation, finally steeled his resolve.

Eldrin slowly exhaled, releasing a wisp of primordial Primal Chaos Purple Qi that descended into the Chaos Saint Spirit's sea of consciousness.

"Bzzz—"

The Primordial Purple Qi descended from the heavens, causing the Chaos Holy Spirit to emanate a faint, shimmering luminescence.

After a moment of profound silence, a faint violet spiritual light gradually emerged within the consciousness of the Primordial Black Dragon, while an indescribable aura of supreme nobility surfaced in its eyes.

"This is..."

Eldrin's heart quivered. He had a distinct sense that the Chaos Black Dragon Iron had undergone some form of metamorphosis.

A trace of violet light now shimmered within the black dragon mark etched upon his body, bestowing an otherworldly and supreme aura far more majestic than before.

"Hymn—"

In a daze, Eldrin heard a dragon's roar resound through the air. The nascent true spirit gazed at him with a hint of affection.

Eldrin felt a stir in his heart. He gently stroked the Chaos Black Dragon's head, and a faint smile unconsciously graced his lips.

He discovered that this Primordial Black Dragon was not the revival of the original Primordial Saint Spirit, but rather a newborn dragon soul that had gestated within its corporeal shell after absorbing the Primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi.

This dragon soul was born of Eldrin, and within its divine soul lingered a wisp of Eldrin's aura. By nature, it felt an innate closeness to Eldrin, regarding him as its creator and divine father.

Gazing upon the chaotic black dragon, Eldrin felt overwhelming joy surging within him. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "As a Chaos Holy Spirit of dragon lineage, you belong to a race that often bears 'Ao' as their surname. Born from the Primordial Violet Qi, you shall henceforth be named Ao Hong."

"Roar——"

Ao Hong let out a joyous dragon's roar upon receiving the name bestowed by Eldrin (Person Name).

Seeing this, Eldrin patted the dragon's head once more and calmly stated, "Although you have gained sentience, you are still in gestation and have not yet fully taken form."

From this day forth, you shall remain within this Chaos 9 Dragons' Nest, steering it deep into the primordial chaos. Along the journey, continuously inhale and exhale the essence of chaos to cultivate, until the moment of absolute perfection arrives for your emergence.

"Father God...when...shall we meet again..."

Ao Hong felt a vague reluctance upon hearing this, sending out a wisp of hazy intent to ask when they might meet again.

Eldrin pondered briefly, his fingers tracing invisible calculations before he spoke. "Should fortune favor you, you may emerge into this world within 10 million years. At the latest, it shall be no more than 30 million years."

"Journey into the depths of chaos. Where the chaos qi grows denser, your gestation shall accelerate. When the time of your emergence draws near, we shall meet again."

With these final words, Eldrin accompanied the Chaos 9 Dragons Nest toward the outer reaches of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains. For 3 1000 years they journeyed together through the vast expanse, until at last he watched it vanish into the primordial chaos.

As the Chaotic 9 Dragons' Lair vanished from sight, Eldrin slowly withdrew his gaze, a flicker of excitement stirring within his heart.

After repeated calculations, he discovered that Ao Hong's aptitude and potential had undergone a qualitative transformation after being nurtured by the Primordial Purple Qi.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, when Ao Hong came into this world, his innate talent and combat prowess should have already rivaled that of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal.

Yet, 8 Calamity Ancient Immortals were all beings who had shattered the 8 Heavenly Barriers. Such legendary ancient immortals were only A Step Away (Time & Distance) from becoming Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Even among Chaos Holy Spirits, the vast majority are born with only the combat prowess of a 7-Calamity Ancient Immortal.

Ao Hong was born with the potential to achieve the 8 Calamities Ancient Immortal realm, making him a standout even among the Chaos Holy Spirits.

Further up the chain were the 9 Calamities Ancient Immortals and Chaos Holy Spirits, who were genuine Chaos Fiend Gods. The moment such beings were born, they would attract a Great Chaos Tribulation. Surviving it would elevate them to supreme existences comparable to the Great Luo.

To give birth to a Chaos Demon God, 1 would require at least a fourth-grade Chaos Nest of the Great Luo level. A Chaos 9 Dragons Nest that had merely opened 2 apertures could never possibly nurture such an existence.

Born an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, even among the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, he was 1 qualified to become a protagonist-level figure in the cosmic tribulation.

"If it could emerge before the cosmic tribulation, it might become a significant asset to me."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his eyes blazing with an intense light.

Legend has it that the Measureless Tribulation unfolds with magnificent grandeur, sweeping across all 3 1000 immortal realms. Unless under the protection of a Great Luo Immortal Lord, none can stand apart from its reach.

Eldrin knew that his current strength was far from sufficient if he wished to navigate the cataclysmic tribulations, transcend the boundaries of the Qingcang Immortal Domain during the Great Calamity, and step onto the grand stage of the 3 1000 immortal realms.

Originally, Eldrin had merely intended to use the opportunity of a 100 calamities and rebirths in the Vast Azure Immortal Realm during this cosmic tribulation to solidify his foundation, then break through to the Great Luo Realm in the next tribulation.

But now he harbored even greater ambitions, for with the aid of a Chaos Saint Spirit who was an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal, there might truly be a sliver of possibility—a chance to seize this cosmic tribulation and break through to the Great Perfection Realm in 1 fell swoop.

Even the mightiest of Celestial Immortals cannot ultimately transcend the tribulations. Only by shattering the Heavenly Gate of Fate and attaining the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal can 1 rise above both destiny and calamity.

"Child, having absorbed the Primordial Purple Qi, I have great expectations for you. May you be born into this world before the great tribulation of calamity."

Eldrin whispered 1 last thought in his heart, then finally turned and headed toward the Great Cold Immortal Realm.

He knew full well that although the Chaos Saint Spirit was powerful, it was ultimately not his own strength.

At present, the most urgent matter for him was to cultivate as quickly as possible, striving to break through to the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm, or even achieve the Great Perfection of Celestial Immortality.

If he could reach the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm before the Kalpic Tribulus, only then would he truly have a chance to glimpse the realm of the Great Luo.

If he were merely at the mid-stage Celestial Immortal realm, then no matter how many opportunities he obtained during the cosmic tribulation, it would be impossible for him to break through to the Great Perfected Golden Immortal realm in a mere 1,000,000 years.

Once he had resolved in his heart, Eldrin hurried back to the Taihan Immortal Realm and arrived within the Tianya Grotto-Heaven.

At this moment, Celestial Horizon Elder was still in seclusion, striving to break through to the Great Perfection of the Celestial Realm, while the Celestial Maiden was also in retreat consolidating her cultivation. Seizing this opportunity, Eldrin began refining immortal pills.

This time, Eldrin held a total of 11 Chaos Ancient Beasts in his hands.

Apart from 1 superior-grade Chaos Ancient Beast, there were also 3 mid-grade Chaos Ancient Beasts and 7 inferior-grade Chaos Ancient Beasts.

Eldrin began with the simplest methods, refining 1 cauldron every 3 100 years. Over the course of more than 2 1000 years, he completed 7 batches of 7 Revolutions Immortal Pills, yielding a total of 50-4 successfully refined pills.

He then fired up the cauldron once more to refine Eighth Revolution Immortal Pills, spending 2,000 years to complete 3 batches. In total, he successfully produced 15 Eighth Revolution Immortal Pills.

The final cauldron of 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills proved exceptionally difficult to refine. Eldrin had labored for over 6 1000 years before finally succeeding in refining the Chaos Wolfdragon chieftain, ultimately obtaining 2 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills. (End of Chapter)
