Chapter 1812 : Abyssal Haven

In an instant, all sound vanished from heaven and earth, all color faded from creation, and even time and space seemed to freeze in place.

Then, the God-Slaying Ancient Spear instantly shattered into several fragments that shot backward, striking Sovereign Cang’s physical body 1 after another.

The residual force of that finger strike did not end there. It transformed into a primordial divine edge that tore through the heavens, violently hurling the Azure Sovereign backward through the sky.

"Ah—"

But in the blink of an eye, a piercing shriek tore through the air.

The Azure Sovereign’s entire body was shattered to the bone, his once-overbearing arrogance extinguished in an instant as he suffered unprecedented devastation.

"Impossible!"

In an instant, Lord Cang let out a roar of utter unwillingness and attempted to withdraw from the battlefield.

In that very instant, Eldrin manifested his Primordial Indestructible True Body, standing tall at a height spanning tens of millions of light-years. With a single, effortless step, he traversed the vast celestial expanse and caught up to Cangjun, then threw a devastating punch forward.

It was a celestial grace that shook the heavens and earth, a peerless elegance that overlooked the mortal realm. With each swing of his fist, he unleashed divine might capable of stirring the 8 directions of the universe.

Heaven and Earth lamented, the Great Dao wept.

Under this single strike, 10 1000 laws crumbled, gods and ghosts were obliterated, all creation shattered—utterly unstoppable.

"No—"

Cang Jun let out a desperate roar, yet terror gripped his very soul. At this life-or-death moment, he summoned an ancient cauldron and hurled it toward Eldrin (Person Name), desperately grasping for a sliver of survival.

But this time, Eldrin was determined to slay Him. This strike not only channeled the invincible true power of his Innate Primordial Indestructible Body, but also pushed his own magical prowess and Dao attainment to their absolute limits. Its might was sufficient to shatter the heavens, cleave the earth, and suppress gods and demons alike.

Sever All Creation!

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, the ancient cauldron shattered into 3 massive fragments, brutally embedding themselves into Cangjun’s physical form.

This punch arrived at the very same instant, instantly shattering Cangjun's physical form into dissolution. The overwhelming chaos energy surged forth, sweeping across all directions and eradicating everything in its path.

When all finally fell silent, the crowd realized Eldrin's primordial spirit had already dissipated into nothingness, his physical form completely disintegrated.

"He... is dead?"

The Western Qi Heavenly Deity whispered, a look of disbelief spreading across his face.

Meanwhile, Eldrin slowly withdrew his hand, his expression calm as he spoke, "You couldn't even withstand 2 moves. I overestimated you."

Boom—

At this moment, the heavens and earth roiled, the gods trembled in fear, and everyone present was utterly stunned.

Tai Cang Di Yang gazed at Eldrin (Person Name), his throat moving faintly for a moment, yet he could not find the words to speak.

In the end, he let out a sigh, leaving behind only a profound and wordless silence.

Eldrin stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression perpetually serene. Though it appeared he had only unleashed 2 moves in this battle, each strike had been a full-force blow that drained his reserves. Now, he needed time to recover his vital energy and blood.

Yet it must be acknowledged that the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was truly and profoundly formidable.

Shattering a superior-grade innate treasure with pure physical strength—such a physique was likely robust enough to withstand most primordial ancient treasures.

"Bzzz—"

And in that very instant, the void trembled with a deafening roar.

The Western Qi Heavenly Deity and the others abruptly snapped to their senses, attempting to shatter the void and flee for their lives—yet they failed.

Yet the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) spun at the edge of the void, its divine might having frozen this expanse of heaven and earth, causing all present to collide against the fabric of space.

Seizing the opportunity, Lyra and the others traversed heaven and earth, surrounding everyone.

Boom—

Eldrin also took a single step forward, then with a flick of his sleeve, he pressed down a palm to suppress his opponent. In that instant, he reduced the Western Qi Heavenly God into a mist of blood.

The other Heavenly Gods, witnessing this scene, were all seized with terror and cried out in furious dismay, "The Eldrin has betrayed us!"

Eldrin showed no mercy. With a single palm strike that obliterated all in its path, he annihilated the deities in an instant. Even the 2 late-stage Celestial Immortals of the demon tribe were vanquished in the blink of an eye.

When all had settled into tranquility, only the Eldrin Daoist and the Violet Azure Sword Immortal couple remained in the arena.

"Spare me!"

In that very instant, Daoist Yuanzhi was seized by incomparable terror.

As the master of a celestial grotto, he fell to his knees without the slightest regard for dignity and pleaded, "Senior, spare my life! I beg you, in recognition that we are both of the human race, show mercy and let me live."

Daoist Yuanzhi?

Eldrin spoke softly, his gaze calm yet tinged with complexity as he observed the Taoist of the Abyss before him.

To be fair, Eldrin harbored rather complicated feelings toward the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven.

As the first human cavern realm he encountered after ascending to the Celestial Realm, the Divine Abyss Cavern Heaven remained an elusive existence beyond Eldrin's reach for a considerable period.

At that time, Daoist Yuanzhi was nothing short of a mythical legend to Eldrin (Person Name).

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, several million years had passed? The once unreachable Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven now seemed like nothing in my eyes.

The master of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven, a figure of incomparable prestige, now knelt before him—begging only for a chance to survive.

At this thought, Eldrin turned his gaze toward Daoist Yuanzhi and asked, "After Daoist Shenyuan's demise, your lineage still had several Celestial Immortals such as Qingxuan, Jinyan, Zidian, and Qingshuang. Why have only the 3 of you come today?"

"This..."

Hearing this, Daoist Yuanzhi hemmed and hawed, at a loss for how to respond.

Seeing this, the Violet Lightning Sword Immortal beside them couldn't help but turn away, sighing softly. "After Patriarch Divine Abyss fell, both Fellow Daoist Qingxuan and Golden Flame Ancestor abandoned the Divine Abyss Grotto-heaven. They have both been traitors to the Divine Abyss Grotto-heaven for many years now."

Eldrin nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He looked at Daoist Yuanzhi with a hint of mockery and said, "The Golden Flame Patriarch is merely a guest elder of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven. His departure is still within my comprehension."

"But Fellow Cultivator Qingxuan is your Dao Companion, yet even she intends to abandon you. How utterly you have failed in life."

Hearing this, Daoist Yuanzhi was momentarily left speechless.

Observing this, the Glazed Divine Monarch couldn't help but sneer as he spoke, "That Verdant Xuan Immortal was originally the most gifted Holy Maiden of the Divine Abyss Paradise from 30 million years ago. She already had a beloved in her heart, yet he forcibly took her as his own simply because he desired her."

Though Fairy Qingxuan later broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, she was forced into union with Daoist Shenyuan due to his coercion. Resentment had long festered in her heart, making her defection from the Shenyuan Grotto-Heaven after the daoist's demise an entirely foreseeable outcome.

At this, a cold sneer also surfaced on Divine Lord Liuli's face.

Back then, Daoist Yuanzhi, relying on the influence of the Divine Abyss Paradise, attempted to forcibly take her as a concubine. Had it not been for the united front of the 100 Clans of the Immortal Spirits and her offering of 30-6 Oceanic Divine Pearls (Divine Artifact), she would have long suffered humiliation at the hands of Daoist Yuanzhi.

Now that she saw Daoist Yuanzhi being abandoned by all, a faint sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart.

Hearing this, Eldrin gave a slight nod. He turned his gaze toward Abyssal Halter, his expression calm as he spoke, "There is a secret I should now reveal to you."

"Secret?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Yuanzhi felt an ill foreboding stirring within his heart.

Eldrin nodded and said calmly, "It was I who killed your grandfather, the Divine Abyss Daoist."

"No..."

Elder Yuanzhi's face paled with despair, immediately seeking to withdraw and flee for his life.

He knew that if Eldrin had not revealed this secret to him, there might still have been a sliver of hope for survival. But now that Eldrin had disclosed this information, it was certain his life would be spared no longer.

Seeing this, Eldrin flicked his sleeve and pointed a finger. In that instant, a dazzling divine radiance pierced through the void, reducing that Daoist Yuanzhi into a mist of blood, his soul and bones utterly obliterated into dust.

To cut the weeds without removing the roots, the spring breeze will bring them back to life.

Though Eldrin felt that this Daoist Yuanzhi posed no threat to him, to prevent future troubles, he utterly annihilated the man.

As for whether the Abyssal Cessation Daoist could revive after reincarnation, Eldrin truly held no concern in his heart.

In this life, he could slay this man; thus, he could eradicate his next life, and the life after that, until his soul was utterly obliterated. Only when his true spirit gave birth to a new soul would he ultimately become another person entirely.

After slaying the Daoist Yuanzhi, Eldrin turned his gaze toward the Violet Lightning and Azure Frost Immortals.

Seeing this, the Sword Immortals Zidian and Qingshuang couldn't help but turn pale.

In the end, Qing Shuang let out a sigh and spoke, “Our coming here today was fated—this tribulation was meant for my husband and me. Do as you will, whether it be killing or slicing.”

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly. With a sweep of his sleeve, he lifted the 2 individuals before speaking: "Now that all others from the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven have defected, only you 2 spouses remain. This proves you truly value loyalty above all."

"A figure such as this, I cannot bear to cut down either."

"Very well. Considering your many years of cultivation have not come easily, I shall spare your lives today."

As the words fell, Eldrin looked at the 2 and declared, "I sentence you to guard the Chaos Abyss for 1 kalpa, transforming immortal spiritual energy for all beings of the celestial realm. Do you accept this punishment?"

Upon hearing this, the 2 Sword Immortals Zidian(Purple Lightning) and Qingshuang(Azure Frost) visibly shuddered, their expressions shifting dramatically.

After years of arduous cultivation, how could their hearts remain unmoved by the prospect of immortality now within reach?

The Sword Immortal of Violet Lightning immediately bowed and cupped his hands in gratitude. "Since the Divine Lord is willing to spare our lives, we are eternally grateful."

"From this day forth, we 2 shall guard the Chaos Abyss, never again to leave the Abyssal Sea for all eternity."

Eldrin nodded slightly. With these 2 guarding the Chaotic Abyss, the pressure on both the Chen Immortal Clan and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss Alliance would be alleviated.

Most crucially, the Violet and Azure Immortals were individuals of exceptional character—rare paragons of virtue among the 7 Celestial Immortals of the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven. Even Eldrin (Person Name) had no desire to strike them down.

He waved his hand and said calmly, "Go now."

Upon hearing this, the Violet and Azure Immortals cupped their hands once more before finally departing from the Returning Abyss Heavenly Realm.

Thus, this farce came to an end in such a manner.

Eldrin swiftly cleared the battlefield before joining the Return to Void Immortal Alliance members within the hidden realm. There, they convened a Celestial Assembly of Immortals.

Void-returning Grotto-Heaven, the Violet Night Palace.

Eldrin sat upright in the center of the grand hall, gazing at the assembly of Immortal Alliance cultivators before him, a trace of astonishment inadvertently flashing across his expression.

At this moment, there were actually over 40 Celestial Immortals seated cross-legged within the grand hall—a sight far beyond Eldrin's expectations.

Over the years, Eldrin had spent most of his time either wandering in the primordial chaos or secluded in cultivation, wholly dedicated to preparing for his breakthrough to the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm. Thus, he rarely concerned himself with the affairs of the Immortal Alliance or the impending cataclysm.

Who would have thought that in just a few million years, the Abyssal Immortal Alliance would have gained over 20 more Celestial Immortals.

Among the newly added 20-some Celestial Immortals, 5 were from the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), including Chen Sigu (Person Name) and Chen Bufan (Person Name). Another 6 were prodigies from the Immortal Shell Clan (Organization), while the remainder consisted of talents from various clans within the Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance (Organization).

Among them, Chen Sigu was the direct grandson of Eldrin (Person Name), as well as the legitimate son of the third son Chen Xianzhang. He was also the most outstanding prodigy among Eldrin (Person Name)'s grandchildren. It was said that he had been 1 of the key figures in the last great tribulation, having attained enlightenment through the foundation of 3 Great Unity realms.

"The alliance of 1 and the 9 great grotto-heavens boasted over 40 Celestial Immortals."

And this did not even include the Celestial Immortals such as Tai Cang Di Yan, Wei Lai, Su Gu, and Dong Ji, who guarded the Primordial Chaos Grotto-Heavens, nor did it account for Xian Zhu, Xian Dao, and the others.

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a trace of pride coloring his thoughts.

At this rate, I'm afraid the Abyssal Immortal Alliance will have over 50 Celestial Immortals before the kalpic tribulation arrives.

With 50 Celestial Immortals in the alliance, such strength and foundation could be considered overwhelmingly powerful. Even within the Vast Azure Immortal Domain, they stood as a force second only to the 5 supreme-grade blessed paradises.

"Today's Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance can already be considered the foremost blessed realm beneath the Ancient Immortals."

Eldrin contemplated this, then turned his gaze to the assembly and declared, "After today's battle, the authority of the Heavenly Dao Source Artifact has fallen entirely into my hands. The Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea now belongs to our Heavenly Return to Void Alliance."

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, everyone present broke into hearty smiles.

They knew full well that with the fall of the Western Qi and Shenyuan cave heavens, the Guixu Cave Heaven would become the sole ruler of the Western Qi Shenyuan Sea.

At this thought, the Violet Mystic Daoist chuckled and said, "With the destruction of the 2 great cave heavens, Western Qi and Divine Abyss, what right does the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea have to keep its name? In my opinion, it should henceforth be renamed the Heavenly Domain of the Returning Abyss."

"Indeed, indeed! The name 'Abyssal Heaven Domain' carries such domineering grandeur!"

Hearing this, the Heavenly Abyss Daoist also clasped his hands and laughed heartily.

Hearing this, the Ancient Ruins Yin Sovereign couldn't help but nod. "Indeed, as early as 3 million years ago, the waters of the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea had already largely dried up, transforming into the Endless Great Desolate Mountains."

"Today's Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea is a realm where water element recedes, while the energies of fire, earth, wood, and metal resurge—far more prosperous than it was in ages past."

"In my opinion, it should have been renamed long ago."

The other immortals all wore faint smiles as they voiced their support for the name change.

Seeing everyone so insistent on changing the name, Eldrin could only remark, "After calling it the Western Aether Divine Abyss Sea for millions of years, suddenly renaming it to the Heavenly Realm of the Returning Abyss feels rather unfamiliar."

At this point, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly, and thus renamed the Western Mist Divine Abyss Sea as the Returning Abyss Heavenly Domain.

After changing the name, Eldrin waved his hand again, quelling the excitement of the immortals, and continued, "Currently, our Abyssal Return Immortal Alliance boasts over 40 Celestial Immortals, including many in the middle and late stages of Celestial Immortality."

"The spiritual energy from the 9 great grotto-heavens alone is no longer sufficient to sustain the cultivation of so many powerful Celestial Immortals."

"Therefore, I intend to merge the Western Qi and Divine Abyss Paradises to elevate the Return to Ruins Paradise into a supreme-grade paradise. I ask for your assistance in this endeavor."

Upon hearing this, all the immortals revealed expressions of ecstasy.

For Celestial Immortals, a supreme-grade grotto-heaven not only provides an abundance of immortal spiritual energy but also significantly enhances their cultivation speed.

Although the upgraded Abyssal Grotto-Heaven had become the training ground of the Chen Immortal Clan, it would never permit ordinary Celestial Immortals to cultivate at its core.

However, given Eldrin's (Person Name) typical approach, he would most likely establish several cave dwellings along the periphery of the Abyssal Return Grotto-Heaven to accommodate the Celestial Immortal Ancestors from the Immortal Alliance for their cultivation.

At this thought, the immortals all exchanged delighted glances and cupped their hands respectfully. "We are willing to lend the Alliance Leader our aid," they declared in unison.

"Very well."

Eldrin nodded and said with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, we shall begin merging the 3 cave realms."
