Chapter 1835 : Sky Soul Fruit Tree

The ancient Golden Crow immortal was utterly enraged. His Solar Godspear swept across all directions as he exchanged over 30 moves with Eldrin, yet he consistently failed to gain the upper hand. A wave of profound shock surged within his heart.

He gazed intently at Eldrin, drawing a sharp breath. "10-Limit Physique, 10-Limit Mana... With such an formidable foundation, you should hardly be an unknown figure even in the Violet Sun Immortal Realm."

"Who exactly are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

"You are not worthy of knowing who I am!"

Eldrin sneered coldly, his Heaven-Suppressing Halberd descending with overwhelming force. Radiating divine power that shook the heavens, he battled the Golden Crow Ancient Immortal to a deadlock, their clash reverberating across the cosmos.

Only then did Luo Xingxuan snap back to reality, hastily lending a hand while gazing at Eldrin with overwhelming joy. "Thank you for your assistance," she said.

"You're welcome."

Eldrin responded with detached calm, the celestial halberd in his hand blooming with cosmos-rending brilliance as he continuously engaged the Golden Crow Ancient Immortal in fierce combat. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over 3,000 moves, yet neither could gain decisive advantage over the other.

This battle was the most exhilarating fight Eldrin had ever experienced. With his physical form shattered and the 2 great heavenly barriers of magic power broken through, he faced a sixth-order Ancient Immortal at the Second Tribulation realm, yet never once showed the slightest disadvantage. Truly, it was an utterly satisfying clash.

Although this was partly due to the Golden Crow Ancient Immortal being suppressed in the Primordial Chaos Sea, it was undeniable that Eldrin (Person Name) possessed formidable power.

The frenzied battle raged on, yet Golden Crow Ancient Immortal and Eldrin (Person Name) remained locked in stalemate, while the other 2 4-tribulation ancient demonic immortals could no longer hold their ground.

For with the Heavenly Maiden and the Ancient Ancestor of the Heavenly Abyss joining the fray, coupled with the sudden betrayal of the 2 4-tribulation ancient immortals from the Flower Goddess Palace, the 2 ancient demon immortals had become cornered dogs, forced into a desperate retreat within moments.

If this continues, they would likely suffer severe injuries or even perish.

The Golden Crow Ancient Immortal was well aware of this fact. He could only grit his teeth and force Eldrin back, his expression turning frigid as he declared, "Today, my demon commanders are not at full strength. Consider yourselves fortunate."

"When the day comes that I muster my demon generals, I shall surely offer you as sacrifices to our battle standard."

As the words faded, the Golden Crow Ancient Immortal tore through the primordial chaos, charging forth with 2 other 4-tribulation ancient immortals.

Watching the 3 depart, Eldrin made no move to pursue them. Given his current strength, defeating a 6-Calamity Ancient Immortal was already a monumental challenge—let alone slaying 1.

After the 3 had departed, the 3 ancient immortals of the Flower Deity Palace breathed a sigh of relief. Falling Star Xuan (Person Name) spoke up, "We thank the 3 of you for your assistance."

"To think that despite your seemingly modest cultivation, you have already shattered 2 layers of the Tenfold Heavenly Barriers. Truly astonishing."

At this point, not only did Luo Xingxuan (Person Name) show astonishment, but even the 2 other Ancient Immortals from the Flower God Palace (Sect Name) revealed looks of profound surprise.

Since time immemorial, those who have cultivated through the 10-Limit Heavenly Barrier were all genuine seeds of the Great Luo. As long as such individuals did not meet an untimely demise, their chances of breaking through to become 7-Calamity Ancient Immortals were exceedingly high.

As for whether 1 could break through the 8 Calamities, that would depend on whether a Great Luo Golden Immortal was willing to bestow an Innate Spiritual Treasure to offer support.

At this thought, Roxana couldn't help but glance at Eldrin once more. "I never expected to have misjudged you. Little brother, your strength ranks among the top-tier experts even within the Violet Sun Immortal Realm."

"You flatter me."

Eldrin shook his head and said modestly, "The Violet Sun Immortal Realm is filled with countless powerful experts, including 7-tribulation and even 8-tribulation Ancient Immortals. What am I compared to them?"

Luo Xingxuan, however, gave a faint smile and shook her head. "The Purple Sun Immortal Realm has no shortage of Ancient Immortals—their numbers reach into the thousands, and every single 1 of them has undergone at least 3 heavenly tribulations."

"However, those possessing the combat prowess of a 6-Tribulation Ancient Immortal numbered barely over a 100. The 7-Tribulation Ancient Immortals did not exceed 10 individuals, while the 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortals were merely 2 or 3 at most."

"Those 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals might not return to the Violet Sun Immortal Domain even once in tens of millions of years. As for 7-Calamity Ancient Immortals, they appear and vanish like divine dragons—now you see them, now you don't. Even 6-Calamity cultivators already represent the peak combat strength we could ever hope to encounter."

Hearing this, Eldrin finally understood the status of a 6 Calamities Ancient Immortal in the Violet Sun Immortal Domain.

In fact, not only within the Violet Sun Immortal Domain, but across all 3 1000 immortal domains, a 6-Tribulation Ancient Immortal could be considered a top-tier combatant.

For a Great Luo Golden Immortal gazing down upon the mortal realm, a single session of secluded cultivation spans an entire kalpa, leaving little concern for the conflicts among those at the Ancient Immortal and Celestial Immortal realms.

The 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals roamed the depths of the primordial chaos. Were it not for the onset of the Great Calamity, they would seldom emerge even once in tens of millions of years. The 7-Calamity Ancient Immortals, too, ventured through the chaos for eons, chasing but a wisp of chance to obtain an elusive Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Only 6 Tribulation Ancient Immortals are the peak combat strength acknowledged across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains.

In truth, Sixth Tribulation Ancient Immortals were also exceedingly rare. Such individuals stood as top-tier powerhouses beneath the Great Perfection realm within the vast majority of ancient Great Perfection sects.

For if an ancient immortal of the Great Luo Ancient Sect were to break through the seventh tribulation, they would very likely obtain a Primordial Spiritual Treasure and directly ascend to the realm of an eighth-tribulation ancient immortal.

As for the 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals, they typically either succeeded in attaining the Great Dao of the Grand Luo or perished in the primordial chaos upon failure. They would never occupy an Innate Spiritual Treasure for more than 3 kalpas.

For once a Primordial Treasure becomes bound, it is impossible to nurture another 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal unless its master perishes in the primordial chaos.

Allowing an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal to maintain prolonged control over the innate spiritual treasure did not align with the long-term interests of the Great Luo Ancient Sect.

It was precisely because seventh and eighth calamity Ancient Immortals were exceedingly rare that sixth calamity Ancient Immortals already constituted the peak combat strength in the open.

At this thought, Eldrin's gaze flickered with subtle realization. He now understood that within the chaotic expanse of the Violet Sun Immortal Realm, he had already ascended to become 1 of its paramount powers.

Though he could only maintain this status within the Chaos, it was already considered extraordinary.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly before turning his gaze to Luo Xingxuan. "How did you manage to offend the Golden Crow clan?"

"This—"

Beside them, the ancient immortal from the Flower Deity Palace slightly changed expression, pulling Luo Xingxuan aside as if to say something.

Luo Xingxuan, however, shook her head. Gritting her teeth, she retrieved a fruit from her sleeve and declared, "It is all because of this."

"This is..."

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, his voice trembling with disbelief as he exclaimed, "Heaven Soul Fruit?"

"This is the very item."

Luo Xingxuan spoke softly, her eyes gleaming with a hint of excitement.

The Heaven-Soul Fruit Tree was an exceedingly rare primordial ancient tree born of chaos, producing but a single batch of Heaven-Soul Fruits every kalpa-cycle.

That Soul Nurturing Fruit was a special treasure for cultivating the soul, and 1 of the innate marvels required to break through the Soul Nascent Divinity Barrier.

However, the Heaven Soul Fruit Tree is exceedingly rare, and each kalpa yields only 8 Heaven Soul Fruits, making them eternally invaluable.

It was precisely for this reason that individuals like Luo Xingxuan had drawn the attention of the ancient immortals of the Golden Crow tribe.

At this thought, Luo Xingxuan's expression turned exceedingly grave as he said, "Because of what happened today, you have offended the Golden Crow Clan's Elder Dienie. He broke through to the Sixth Tribulation Ancient Immortal realm many years ago, and his strength ranks among the powerful even within the Sixth Tribulation Ancient Immortals."

"This matter began because of us, so it is only right that we make amends to you."

As she spoke, Luo Xingxuan took out 6 Soul Heaven Fruits and handed them to Eldrin (Person Name), saying, "Consider these 6 Soul Heaven Fruits as compensation for your assistance."

Eldrin (Person Name) froze for a moment—the value of these 6 Soul Convergence Fruits was nothing to scoff at.

At current market prices, their combined value starts at no less than 1,000 strands of Primordial Qi.

However, such a precious gift made Eldrin hesitate to accept it outright. After all, he had only intervened briefly in the battle and hadn’t truly engaged in a life-or-death struggle against Patriarch Dienie.

Eldrin’s hesitation made Luo Xingxuan think he considered the gift insufficient. With a bitter smile, she explained, “This Soul Heaven Fruit was found in a Chaotic Abyss Nest.”

"However, the primordial beasts within the Chaos Nest were far too powerful. The 3 of us were incapable of subduing them, and could only rely on our unique secret technique to infiltrate the area and steal the Soulheaven Fruit. We were unable to obtain the Soulheaven Tree itself."

"If you feel it is insufficient, then I shall give you all 8 Soul Convergence Fruits."

With that, Luo Xingxuan made to retrieve the remaining Heaven Soul Fruits.

Eldrin (Person Name) raised a hand to stop them, unable to resist asking, "How formidable are the primordial beasts within the Chaos Nest truly?"

"You mean..."

Luo Xingxuan was momentarily taken aback, her eyes suddenly gleaming as she said, "With your strength combined with our alliance, there might truly be some hope of seizing the Heaven Soul Fruit Tree."

Hearing this, Eldrin asked, "Can you still locate the Chaos Lair?"

Luo Xingxuan made a few calculations on her fingers, then said with a smile, "We haven’t traveled far yet. Retracing our steps should give us a very good chance of locating the Chaos Nest."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin said with a smile, "If you can help me secure the Heaven-Soul Tree, I won't take a single 1 of these Heaven-Soul Fruits for myself. All I want is that Heaven-Soul Tree."

At this moment, before Luo Xingxuan could speak, the 2 4-tribulation ancient immortals beside her interjected, "It's settled then."

Seeing this, Eldrin merely smiled faintly. While the Soul-Spirit Tree could serve as 1 of the foundational assets for an ancient sect, for a 4-Tribulation Ancient Immortal, the tangible Soul-Spirit Fruit was far more practical than a single Soul-Spirit Tree.

Seeing the 2 agree, Luo Xingxuan (Person Name) said nothing more.

After all, with their own abilities, they stood no chance of seizing the Celestial Soul Fruit Tree.

The 3 of them ventured deeper into the Chaos.

They flew for 3 1000 years before finally locating that Chaos Nest amidst a sea of primordial chaos.

Chaos Moon Nest.

Gazing at the Chaos Lair before him, Eldrin couldn't help but murmur under his breath.

Within the chaos, there are nearly 10 1000 Chaos Nests, yet only a handful can truly be considered top-tier.

This Chaos Moon-Nurturing Nest contains the power of the Great Yin. Cultivating within it greatly benefits the soul, and it is also brimming with the primordial essence of the Great Yin.

If Lyra's Lunar Immortal Body was highly compatible with this Chaos Nest, obtaining this Lunar Origin would surely cause her cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

However, this was not the time to worry about other matters. After carefully observing the Chaos Nest, Eldrin (Person Name) frowned slightly and said, "There is a Chaos Beast King at the Fifth Heavenly Tribulation realm of the Ancient Immortal stage. Its strength is likely not to be underestimated."

"Indeed, even with our combined strength, subduing it would prove exceedingly difficult."

Luo Xingxuan spoke, her gaze revealing a trace of solemnity.

She pondered briefly before speaking, "My suggestion is to utilize the secret arts and rare treasures of our Flower Goddess Palace to infiltrate the Chaos Lair. We should seize the Primordial Ancient Tree while the Chaos Beast King remains unaware."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, casting a glance at the Ancient 1 of the Skyline and the Celestial Maiden before saying, "With less than 10 1000 years remaining until the Chaos Tide arrives, lingering here too long would pose significant risks for all of us."

Seeing this, the Ancient 1 of the Distant Skies also spoke up: "Then we shall steal the Heaven-Soul Fruit Tree."

Seeing this, Luo Xingxuan stated plainly, "I possess an innate treasure that can bypass the barriers of primordial formations, allowing passage through the Chaos Nest."

"However, the Chaos Beast King possesses considerable intelligence. It would most likely detect the anomaly. Most crucially, that Soul Nurturing Tree is connected to the spiritual veins of the Chaos Lair, making it nearly impossible for us to steal it without alerting the Chaos Beast King."

"Once we begin harvesting the Celestial Soul Fruit Tree, the Chaos Beast Kings will undoubtedly strike within days—especially that 5-Calamity Chaos Beast King. We must have someone capable of intercepting it."

"Leave it to me."

Eldrin spoke softly, a flicker of battle intent surfacing in his gaze.

Seeing this, Luo Xingxuan let out a slight sigh of relief and said, "Once the battle begins, please hold Him back for at least 1 shichen (Time & Distance)."

Eldrin nodded slightly. Within the Chaos Sea, the combat prowess of a 5-Calamity Chaos Beast King could already be considered utterly astonishing.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of 6-Calamity Ancient Immortals were no match for 5-Calamity Chaos Beast Kings. Only a 7-Calamity Ancient Immortal could reliably suppress 1.

Eldrin (Person Name) currently had no absolute certainty in his ability to confront a Fifth Tribulation Chaos Beast King with his present combat prowess.

Thinking this, Eldrin said nothing more, simply adjusting his combat prowess to its peak condition, ready to unleash his full strength at a moment's notice.

Seeing this, Luo Xingxuan immediately activated a secret art to conceal their auras, then rode atop an ancient shuttle to proceed.

It was at this moment that Eldrin truly grasped the profound mysteries of the Great Luo Secret Art of the Flower Goddess Palace.

This secret art was known as 'Myriad Blossoms Befuddling the Eyes'. It could shroud all 5 senses of its targets, rendering them oblivious to their surroundings and naturally causing them to overlook the presence of the group.

In contrast, Eldrin (Person Name) shrouded himself in chaotic mists, essentially merging his entire being with the primordial waters of chaos—a far more crude and direct approach.

"What a formidable technique."

Eldrin murmured, and to be safe, he once again stirred the Chaos Mist to envelop everyone.

Upon witnessing this, Luo Xingxuan couldn't help but marvel, "Fellow Daoist, this Chaos Mist of yours has reached such mastery that it's indistinguishable from the real thing."

As they spoke, the group advanced, silently traversing the Primordial Ancient Formation until they reached the depths of the Chaos Nest.

When they reached the heart of the Chaotic Lair, they discovered an ancient Luan bird slumbering within.

Lunar Eclipse Roc.

Eldrin spoke softly, his gaze growing slightly solemn.

The Lunar Black Luan is a rare variant among phoenixes, holding a status as unique as the Vermilion Bird. Its combat prowess rivals that of the Primordial Golden Crow. A Lunar Black Luan that has weathered 5 heavenly tribulations and reached the realm of an Ancient Immortal is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.

At this thought, Eldrin withdrew his gaze and looked deeper into the Chaos Nest. There, a small tree had taken root—precisely the Heaven Soul Fruit Tree.

Seeing this, Luo Xingxuan said with a solemn expression, "Apart from this Dark Lunar Luan, there are 5 other Chaos Beast Kings within the nest."

"I shall return shortly to claim this Soul Attunement Tree. I pray you hold them off without fail."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and said calmly, "Let's begin." (End of Chapter)

Chapter 1 The young man knelt in the snow, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His gaze, however, burned with unwavering defiance. "This disciple has offended the sect rules. I await my punishment." Elder Minghe’s voice was cold as the mountain wind. "Lin Feng, for stealing the sect’s foundational cultivation technique—the 9 Revolutions Mystic Art—your dantian shall be shattered, and you will be expelled from the Azure Cloud Sect." A collective gasp rippled through the crowd of onlookers. Shattering the dantian meant the complete annihilation of 1’s cultivation base—a fate worse than death for any cultivator. Lin Feng laughed bitterly, a harsh, broken sound. "Stealing? That technique rightfully belonged to my father! You conspired against him, and now you frame me?" Before he could finish, a surge of energy struck his abdomen. Agony, sharp and absolute, tore through him as his dantian fractured. His cultivation, painstakingly built over a dozen years, evaporated like mist. He collapsed into the snow, the cold seeping into his bones. Darkness swallowed his vision. *** When Lin Feng awoke, he found himself at the foot of the mountain, discarded like rubbish. Every fiber of his being screamed in pain, and his body felt hollow, utterly drained. Just as despair threatened to consume him, a faint, ancient voice echoed directly within his mind. *"Bloodline of the Ancient Dragon... confirmed. Inheriting the legacy of the Primordial Chaos Dragon Emperor."* A flood of profound, alien knowledge surged into his consciousness—the Primordial Chaos Dragon Art. This technique was infinitely more profound and powerful than the 9 Revolutions Mystic Art he had been accused of stealing. Simultaneously, a warm, immense energy began to course through his destroyed meridians, miraculously repairing them. The pain receded, replaced by a strength he had never known. His shattered dantian was not just mended; it was reforged, vaster and more resilient than before. He clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with a renewed, fierce light. "Elder Minghe... Azure Cloud Sect... I, Lin Feng, will return. And I will reclaim everything that is mine." A spatial ring materialized on his finger. Probing it with his spiritual sense, he found it contained 32,000 spirit stones and several bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills. This was the first step on his new path. *** Days turned into weeks as Lin Feng traveled toward a remote, desolate mountain range mentioned in the inherited memories—a suitable place for secluded cultivation. Deep within a hidden cave, he sat cross-legged, circulating the Primordial Chaos Dragon Art. The spiritual energy of the world swirled around him, visible as faint, shimmering tendrils of light as it poured into his body. After 7 days and nights of unwavering focus, a powerful aura erupted from him, shaking the very walls of the cave. "Foundation Establishment Realm, accomplished!" He opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. Compared to his previous power at the Qi Refining stage, his current strength had increased tenfold. The Primordial Chaos Dragon Art was truly heaven-defying. He recalled the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, his father’s former magic treasure, now held by Elder Minghe. "Soon," he whispered to the silent cave. Consuming a Foundation Establishment Pill, he solidified his cultivation base. According to the legacy memories, the first major trial of the Primordial Chaos Dragon Art was the Heavenly Tribulation at the Golden Core stage. He needed to become stronger, much stronger, and he needed to find the rare and precious materials to prepare for that calamitous trial. His journey of vengeance and ascent had only just begun.
