Chapter 1832 : Indestructible Verdant Dragon Fruit

Clang—

In the blink of an eye, the Chaos Heaven Halberd clashed with the Azure Dragon Halberd in a cataclysmic collision. A scorching shockwave erupted from their intersection, unleashing a towering tsunami of force that swept through the vast primordial chaos.

Eldrin felt a surge of astonishing divine power strike, the impact so fierce it left his palms tingling and numb.

"What formidable power."

Eldrin felt a flicker of surprise within. Ever since his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had reached perfection, he had clashed with 7 or 8 Chaos Beast Kings, yet each time he had been able to overwhelm them through physical strength alone.

Yet this time, he felt a numbing pain shoot through his tiger’s mouth and failed to gain the slightest advantage.

At that very moment, the chaotic azure dragon roared and soared into the sky, transforming into a majestic figure clad in cyan-gold armor and wielding the ancient Azure Dragon Halberd.

"Human?"

The Primal Chaos Dragon stood serenely, his gaze fixed upon Eldrin as he spoke, "Should you depart now, I shall regard this matter as if it never occurred."

"Such formidable physical strength—truly worthy of the Chaos Azure Dragon lineage."

Eldrin smiled faintly, unable to hold back a murmur of admiration.

He gripped the Celestial Halberd and stepped forward, speaking with unwavering calm: "No more words are needed between us. Let our battle speak."

"Hmph, do you think my Chaos Dragon Clan has no 1 left to stand against you?"

With an icy expression, Chaos Azure Dragon spoke coldly, gripping the ancient Azure Dragon Halberd as he tore through the void to strike. Thus, a world-shaking battle erupted.

At almost the same moment, roars erupted from the Chaos Nest as 2 azure dragonfish tore through the skies, poised to lend their aid to the Primal Chaos Azure Dragon.

These 2 dragon fish appeared to possess the bloodline of the Primordial Azure Dragon, yet had not fully transformed into true Primordial Azure Dragons. Clearly, they were exotic variants born from the Primordial Azure Dragon’s lineage. Their cultivation had already reached the realm of Ancient Immortals, and their combat prowess was truly not to be underestimated.

Fortunately, Eldrin was not without aid. In the blink of an eye, the Ancestor of the Distant Shores unleashed the Twin Swords of Horizon's End, immediately engaging 2 primordial chaos beasts in fierce combat.

Seeing this, the Celestial Maiden also intercepted the pack of Primal Chaos Ancient Beasts, preventing them from interfering in the main battlefield between the 2.

Free from the interference of other primordial beasts, Eldrin was finally able to fight at full strength. Gripping his Chaos Heaven Halberd, he engaged the Chaos Azure Dragon in relentless combat. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over 3 1000 moves, yet he never managed to gain the upper hand.

This battle was an exceptionally rare and thoroughly exhilarating fight for Eldrin in many years.

This Primal Chaos Azure Dragon possessed formidable combat prowess, its strength far surpassing that of ordinary Primal Chaos Beast Kings. Wielding the power of a 20-4-ring Innate Supreme Treasure, its combat ability even approached the level of a 4-Calamity Ancient Immortal.

In the heart of the Chaotic Sea, even a sixth-tribulation Ancient Immortal would likely struggle to subdue him.

Fortunately, Eldrin remained unaffected by the chaotic suppression. Even relying solely on his physical strength and the Chaos Heaven Halberd, he fought on equal footing without yielding an inch.

Thus, the battle raged on for a full 3 1000 years. Only when the power of the Primordial Azure Dragon had diminished considerably did Eldrin gradually gain the upper hand, slowly suppressing his foe.

"Almost there."

Seeing the Chaos Azure Dragon at a disadvantage and seemingly showing signs of retreat, Eldrin resolved to end the battle swiftly and decisively.

But then Eldrin no longer held anything back, instantly summoning the Celestial Li Swords and slashing toward the Chaotic Azure Dragon with the combined might of Heaven and Earth's union.

"Roar—"

In that very instant, the Primordial Azure Dragon sensed imminent peril. It instantly manifested its true form, tearing through the void as it transformed into a draconic sword aura that shot through the air.

This draconic sword aura possessed astonishing power, actually managing to withstand the combined force of the Heavenly Union, without even falling into a disadvantageous position.

Azure Dragon Severing Heaven Slash!

Eldrin's expression darkened slightly. The vast majority of primordial chaos beasts possessed only extraordinary physical strength, while their magical power, primordial spirit, supernatural abilities, and other means remained comparatively feeble.

Yet the Primordial Azure Dragon was truly extraordinary. This bloodline possessed the potential to break through to the level of a Primordial Saint Spirit, or even a Primordial Chaos God. Not only was its physical form astonishingly powerful, but it had also nurtured the ultimate innate divine ability.

This Azure Dragon Severing Heaven Strike is the innate divine ability of the Primordial Azure Dragon lineage. In its complete form, it manifests as a peerless divine art of the Great Luo (Cultivation Realm) level.

At present, the Chaos Azure Dragon's cultivation was insufficient, and the innate divine ability it nurtured was merely in its embryonic form. Yet, its power was already extraordinary, far surpassing that of ordinary Half-Step Patriarch-level divine abilities.

"He's not an easy mark."

Eldrin spoke softly, yet with profound tranquility.

With his current abilities, his combat prowess ranked among the top even among Fourth Tribulation Ancient Immortals. Naturally, he held no fear for this mere innate divine ability of the Primordial Azure Dragon.

Boom—

But then Eldrin immediately unleashed his full power, activating the Chaos Weapon Manifestation Art to conjure countless divine weapons across the sky. Simultaneously, he summoned the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder and the Primordial Unity Grasping Hand to suppress the enemy.

Thus, with all these methods deployed, in merely a few 100 years, Eldrin had suppressed the Primordial Azure Dragon, inflicting successive heavy wounds upon it. Though the Primordial Azure Dragon possessed heaven-defying combat prowess, not a sliver of hope for victory remained.

"Human race, for the grievances of this day, this venerable 1 shall repay you handsomely in times to come."

Seeing that defeat was imminent, the Primordial Azure Dragon spat out a final threat before attempting to flee for its life.

In that very instant, an ancient mirror descended to pacify the heavens, its boundless power of the void enveloping the chaos, sealing off all retreat through the chaotic void.

It turned out Eldrin had long been prepared. Seeing his chance to escape, he immediately activated the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void.

"Not good."

The Primordial Azure Dragon’s heart sank. The Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) was merely an ancient innate treasure, and its range of influence within the Chaotic Sea was limited. If he could put enough distance between himself and the mirror, he could evade its grasp. Moreover, by unleashing his full power, he could shatter its confinement outright.

Yet how could Eldrin, watching him like a tiger eyeing its prey, allow him to break through the blockade with full force?

Boom—

But with a violent roar, Eldrin tore through the sky, gripping the Chaos Heaven Halberd. With power capable of suppressing all things, he struck down relentlessly, forcing the Chaos Azure Dragon into a steady retreat: "You cannot escape."

"Ah—"

The Primordial Chaos Azure Dragon was nearly driven to madness. Its scorching dragon blood blazed like divine radiance, illuminating all heavens as it unleashed a combat prowess never before witnessed.

Such astonishing combat prowess was already comparable to that of a Chaos Beast King. Even if a 6-Calamity Ancient Immortal were to strike, without adequate preparation, the Chaos Azure Dragon would likely manage to escape with its life.

Who Eldrin (Person Name) was, none could say, but they witnessed the Chaos Heaven Halberd in his grasp crashing down relentlessly. The power of his physical body, Dao principles, and magical energy all converged upon the halberd, each strike possessing the divine might to shatter chaos itself. Under this onslaught, the Chaos Azure Dragon was sent reeling, blood spraying endlessly through the void.

After another several 1000 exchanges in their fierce battle, Eldrin unleashed an all-out strike, driving the Chaos Heavenly Halberd to pierce through the primordial void and impale the Chaos Azure Dragon upon its chaotic nest.

"Hoo—"

Eldrin (Person Name) drew a deep breath before finally turning to survey the other battlefields.

They saw that nearly half of the Chaos Beasts had been slain, while the rest had all fled. Of the 2 Chaos Dragonfish Kings, 1 had escaped unnoticed at some point, while the remaining 1 was suppressed by the Tower of Immortal Suppression. Already, it was faltering under the combined assault of the 2.

"This battle ends here."

Eldrin smiled faintly and channeled his power, merging the Heavenly Li Swords into a single strike that pierced through the Chaos Dragonfish King, pinning it lifeless in the void.

Watching the Chaos Dragonfish King meet its demise, Patriarch Tianya also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile, "This battle proved somewhat more arduous than anticipated."

The Celestial Maiden nodded, her expression turning grave as she said, "I never expected that the Primordial Azure Dragon would possess the combat prowess of a 4-Calamity Primordial Beast King."

At this point, both of them still felt a lingering fear.

Fortunately, this Chaos Beast King's cultivation was only at the Third Tribulation Ancient Immortal realm. Had it reached the Fourth Tribulation Ancient Immortal level, not only would victory have been impossible in this battle, but they might have also suffered devastating losses.

Eldrin remained as composed as ever. With the Primordial 7 Treasures Gourd in his possession, this set of primordial ancient treasures could unleash the power of a Sixth Calamity Ancient Immortal when deployed in an array formation, making it effortless to suppress and slay Fourth or Fifth Calamity Chaos Beast Kings.

However, when Eldrin (Person Name) broke through to the Eighth Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it severely depleted the origin essence of the 5 Elements Gourd. Until its origin essence fully recovers, Eldrin (Person Name) is currently unwilling to overexert it.

In this battle, though the Primordial Azure Dragon was formidable, it had yet to compel the activation of these 7 innate treasure gourds.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin spoke up, "From now on, whenever we encounter powerful bloodlines like the Primordial Azure Dragon, we must exercise greater caution and consider their combat prowess as 1 full rank higher than they appear."

"Very well."

The Celestial Maiden nodded, also finding Eldrin's words reasonable.

Seeing this, Eldrin turned to the Celestial Maiden and the Ancient 1 of the Heavens, asking, "How much of your spiritual power has been depleted since the battle began?"

Tianya Ancestor (Person Name) slightly focused his senses, then spoke moments later, "This battle consumed 60 percent of my magic power. Fortunately, I had a Spirit Storage Artifact (Magic Treasure) to replenish it, so I can still maintain peak combat strength."

The Celestial Maiden also nodded. "I'm in a similar state."

Eldrin nodded. The Stored Yuan Pearl now contained twice the usual amount of magical power, meaning they could sustain another 4 or 5 battles at this level without resorting to single-use external elixirs.

At this thought, Eldrin said, "Let's first take stock of our gains."

With that, the group swiftly cleared the battlefield before stepping into the Chaos Azure Dragon's Lair.

"What incredibly rich and pure Chaos Wood Essence."

Upon entering the Chaos Azure Dragon's Lair, Eldrin's gaze faltered momentarily before he spoke with unconcealed delight.

The Ancient 1 of the Horizon was momentarily taken aback, then chuckled softly. "Such a dense concentration of Primordial Wood Essence—it appears this ley line conceals a supreme-grade marvel of the wood attribute."

Eldrin, however, smiled faintly and said, "What I value is not this supreme treasure."

As they spoke, the 3 arrived at the heart of the Chaos Nest and finally laid eyes upon the treasures housed within this lair.

It was a magnificent dragon's lair, its floor paved with divine gold and rare treasures. Each piece of divine gold was an extraordinary chaos-grade divine material—treasures that could drive even a half-step Celestial Immortal to madness.

Yet such treasures were strewn all across the ground within this dragon's lair.

Even more astonishingly, at the heart of the chaotic nest lay a massive Immortal Pond, beside which grew an ancient miniature tree bearing the striking likeness of a true dragon.

Verdant Dragon Immortality Elixir.

The moment he laid eyes on the fruit tree, Patriarch Tianya suddenly spoke, his face revealing an expression of unparalleled ecstasy.

The so-called Immortal Verdant Dragon referred to an exceedingly rare Primordial Ancient Tree. The fruit it bore was known as the Indestructible Verdant Dragon Fruit.

This fruit, much like the Innate Saint Embryo Fruit, is an exceptionally rare supreme immortal fruit. If a cultivator consumes it, they can defy the heavens and alter their fate, obtaining a supreme constitution.

It is said that consuming this Everlasting Azure Dragon Fruit would allow 1 to cultivate the legendary Indestructible Azure Dragon Body.

The Indestructible Azure Dragon Physique is also 1 of the supreme constitutions across the heavens. Upon consuming it, 1 could shatter the mortal body's natural limitations. By cultivating the Indestructible Azure Dragon Physique to perfection, 1 could attain the Tenth Limit of the physical form.

Theoretically speaking, the Eternal Azure Dragon Body was 1 of the dragon race's 10 Supreme Physiques. Legend held that the Azure Dragon Emperor—1 of the 10 Directional Celestial Sovereigns of the Demon Empire—had achieved enlightenment through this very physique.

It is said that before the Azure Dragon Emperor ascended to the Great Perfection Realm, he had not only mastered the Azure Dragon Immortal Body to its pinnacle, but also shattered its inherent limits, advancing it to the Eleventh Limit.

From this, 1 can see how immensely powerful the Azure Dragon Indestructible Body is.

"Legend has it that once the Azure Dragon Immortal Body reaches perfection, it would be scarcely inferior to even the Chaos Body and the Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus."

"This physique is considered extraordinary even among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, with nearly limitless potential."

Recalling the formidable power of the Verdant Dragon Immortality Fruit, Patriarch Tianya couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, a flicker of covetous gleam flashing in his eyes.

Eldrin shook his head, speaking with serene composure, "Since time immemorial, there has never been an ultimate physique—only those who forge themselves into the ultimate existence."

The reason the Azure Dragon Great Emperor was able to become a Primordial Chaos Emperor was not merely due to the astonishing nature of his Indestructible Azure Dragon Body, but because he had perfected this physique and then shattered its limits once more.

Tianya Ancestor was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, then responded with a wry smile, "I've been too attached to form."

Hearing this, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly.

In truth, whether it was the True Dragon Immortal Body, Chen Qiyuan’s Indestructible Golden Body, or even the Innate Saintly Dao Fetus and the Chaos Body—strictly speaking—they all belonged to the same tier.

Although these physiques differed somewhat in combat prowess, they ultimately remained within the same tier. Theoretically, cultivating any of them to perfection would only lead to the 10 Limits Realm.

To advance even further, reaching the Eleventh Limit or even the Twelfth Limit, 1 does not rely solely on innate physical superiority, but rather on the ability to shatter the body’s limits once more upon that foundation.

After the Azure Dragon Emperor cultivated the Indestructible Azure Dragon Body to perfection, he once again shattered the limits and advanced to the Eleventh Limit Realm, transcending the tier of top-tier constitutions.

Even a Chaos Body or an Innate Sacred Saint Body Dao Fetus would be unable to rival this transcendent Eternal Azure Dragon Body, should they fail to break through their limits.

In other words, even the weakest constitution across all heavens, if cultivated to the Eleventh Limit, could effortlessly suppress a perfected Innate Saint Body and Dao Fetus.

The Ninth Limit is the celestial gate of the Great Luo Physique, while the Tenth Limit marks the threshold of the supreme constitution. Beyond the Tenth Limit, each successive layer of breakthrough represents a chasm so vast it is nearly insurmountable.

Any being who has cultivated their physical body to the Eleventh Limit can suppress a Sixth Calamity Ancient Immortal through physical strength alone.

Yet those who could cultivate their physical bodies to the Twelfth Limit were beings capable of suppressing 10 1000 paths with a single 1, effortlessly subduing even 8 Tribulation Ancient Immortals through sheer physical power alone.

The 12 Limits supreme physique was an unparalleled constitution of body refinement. Such an existence could suppress the other 7 heavenly trials through physical strength alone, even shattering the Heavenly Trial of Fate by brute force to attain the Great Perfection Realm without difficulty.

Since time immemorial, those capable of suppressing 10 1000 dao with a single dao were invariably peerless geniuses rarely seen across the ages. Upon breaking through to the Great Luo Realm, each became a standout among the Great Luo Golden Immortals.

All Dao Ancestors, Immortal Sages, Divine Sovereigns, and Celestial Emperors had at least 1 of the 9 Heavenly Gates reach this standard during their breakthroughs.

Eldrin prided himself on possessing talent unparalleled throughout the ages, yet he still had a long road ahead to meet such a standard.

At this thought, both Patriarch Tianya and the Celestial Maiden seemed to feel that this Indestructible Azure Dragon Fruit was not so extraordinary after all.

After all, as precious as this Eternal Azure Dragon Fruit might be, it was unlikely to surpass the innate divine foundation that the Violet Immortal Lord had forged for them. Strictly speaking, both existed on the same level.

Happy Qixi Festival to all, and may you have a joyous celebration!
