Chapter 2010 : Forbidden Land's Supreme Revelation

"Within that Forbidden Land [a perilous and restricted realm], I obtained the Opportunity [a rare chance or catalyst for advancement] to cultivate the eighth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art [a supreme cultivation technique involving nine cycles of refinement]. I also acquired the complete remains of a Great Emperor realm powerhouse and a single Innate Supreme Treasure [a peerless magical artifact born from the primordial essence of heaven and earth]."

"By utilizing the Opportunity [a rare chance or catalyst for advancement] I obtained at that time, I successfully cultivated two True Spirit Divine Form [a divine manifestation of one's true spiritual essence, granting immense power]."

"A pity. Even the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art [a supreme cultivation technique involving nine cycles of refinement] at the eighth revolution can only forge six True Spirit Divine Runes [mystical sigils that form the foundation of a True Spirit Divine Form]. Otherwise, I would have already cultivated a seventh True Spirit Divine Form [a divine manifestation of one's true spiritual essence, granting immense power]."

As he spoke thus, a trace of regret could not help but surface within Black Abyss Great Emperor.

According to his words, once a seventh True Spirit Divine Form [a divine manifestation of one's true spiritual essence, granting immense power] was cultivated, his combat power would transcend the domain of a Great Emperor, placing half a foot into the Sage Ascendant [a supreme cultivation realm beyond that of a Great Emperor] realm. Even facing a true Sage Ascendant [a supreme cultivation realm beyond that of a Great Emperor], he would possess the strength to contend.

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. Gazing at the Indestructible Battle Armor [a legendary suit of armor renowned for its near-unbreakable defense] in his hand, he spoke, "With Your Highness's strength, augmented by this Indestructible Battle Armor [a legendary suit of armor renowned for its near-unbreakable defense], venturing into the desolate seas of the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state of existence before creation] would surely be met with unbroken success. You should continue to wield it."

Black Abyss Great Emperor, however, shook his head. Around his form, a suit of Thunder [a move or technique imbued with the power of lightning] battle armor materialized, radiating a supreme light of the Great Dao.

Eldrin Chen's heart quivered. He could not help but inquire, "This is…"

"This is the Thunder Emperor Battle Armor [the battle armor of the Primordial Thunder Emperor], the Innate Supreme Treasure [a peerless magical artifact born from the primordial essence of heaven and earth] I obtained from this journey."

As Black Abyss Great Emperor spoke these words, a faint smile surfaced within the depths of his gaze.

Eldrin Chen nodded slowly, his thoughts drifting back to the origins of the Thunder Emperor Battle Armor.

The Primordial Thunder Emperor was a peerless hero of the Primordial Era. He once shook the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss with his might and was one of the Divine Race Great Emperors from the Myriad Gods Primordial Domain.

Later, he ventured into the Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea and never returned. Who could have imagined he had already fallen within a Forbidden Land of that treacherous sea?

The Thunder Emperor Battle Armor left behind by the Primordial Thunder Emperor is not only an Innate Supreme Treasure, but it also possesses formidable defensive and Slaughter powers. It was merely a shade inferior to the purely defensive Indestructible Battle Armor.

And it was precisely this slight deficiency that sealed the Primordial Thunder Emperor's fate, leading to his calamitous fall.

Because the Thunder Emperor Battle Armor was not strong enough in resisting the Desolate Decay Power [a corrupting, entropic force], it ultimately allowed the Primordial Thunder Emperor's Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] to be completely eroded by that power.

Within the Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea, the consequences of having one's divine sense [spiritual perception] eroded by the Desolate Decay Power are dire. Even a Great Emperor-level powerhouse, lost within its depths, would gradually lose their sanity.

Under such circumstances, once one falls within the Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea, revival and return become nearly impossible.

Returning to the matter at hand, seeing that the Black Abyss Great Emperor now possessed the Thunder Emperor Battle Armor, Eldrin Chen said nothing more.

Noting this, the Black Abyss Great Emperor took out a batch of rare treasures and handed them to Eldrin Chen, saying, "The remains of the three Great Emperors and this Innate Supreme Treasure are useful to me, so I will not give them to you."

"The remaining treasures shall be yours, as per our agreed-upon share."

Eldrin Chen took the treasures and examined them, a surge of wild elation rising within him.

The treasures given by Black Abyss Great Emperor were astonishingly numerous. Among them were five strands of Innate Primordial Qi and more than ten portions of Primordial Unity Spiritual Treasure.

Most crucially, there was also a vial of Chaotic Divine Liquid.

Chaotic Divine Liquid is a type of primary Chaos Rare Treasure. For a Chaos Celestial Emperor, it is merely a relatively common cultivation resource, but for a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch, it is considered a supreme treasure beyond compare.

The value of a single drop of such a treasure is equivalent to a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. This vial contained a full one thousand drops, a value so staggering it defies description.

Black Abyss Great Emperor handed the Chaotic Divine Liquid to Eldrin Chen and then spoke, "This Chaotic Divine Liquid was one of the greatest Opportunity [a chance encounter or resource that can dramatically advance one's cultivation] I obtained on this journey."

"To cultivate the eighth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art, I consumed three thousand drops of Chaotic Divine Liquid."

"The remaining thousand or so drops are insufficient for me to achieve the ninth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art. They shall be yours, to serve as nourishment for your own cultivation."

Eldrin Chen's heart quaked. With this batch of Chaotic Divine Liquid, his physical body cultivation was certain to advance by leaps and bounds after his breakthrough to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm.

At least until the late stages of the Primordial Unity Emperor Body, he would not lack for cultivation resources.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he hurriedly declined, "This object is far too precious. Your Majesty should keep it for yourself."

"The agreed-upon share cannot be changed on a whim."

The Black Abyss Great Emperor waved a hand dismissively, leaving Eldrin Chen no room for refusal.

Then, he looked at Eldrin Chen with a grave expression and said, "The Chaotic Divine Liquid [a primordial liquid of immense power born from chaos] is exceedingly rare and precious. It was for this very reason that the Primordial Thunder Emperor met his end."

"Remember this well: this treasure is for your cultivation alone. You must not reveal its existence to anyone."

Eldrin Chen nodded, already planning to later conceal it within the nameless Void [a state of absolute emptiness and potential] where the Abyssal Pearl resided, shielding it from the prying eyes of any powerful foe.

Seeing this, the Black Abyss Great Emperor changed the subject. He looked at Eldrin Chen and inquired, "I see your foundation is exceptionally solid. When do you plan to attempt your breakthrough to the Emperor Lord realm?"

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before replying, "I wish to first conquer the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames [a primordial, flame-scorched plain imbued with the essence of departing fire] before making my breakthrough."

"The Ancient Plain of Departing Flames?"

Black Abyss Great Emperor [the sovereign ruler of the northern polar abyss] nodded, then spoke: "Indeed. Once you achieve your breakthrough to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [the sovereign realm of primordial chaos], that Departing Flame Chaos Fiend [a powerful fiend born from chaos and departing flames] will surely flee."

"However, that is, after all, a Primordial Unity [the foundational realm of primordial unity] nest. Its defenses are likely formidable. What are your chances of success, roughly?"

"Seven or eight out of ten."

Eldrin Chen replied, his thoughts turning to the Primordial Demonic Ape [an ancient and powerful demonic ape].

Ever since that fateful battle years ago, where the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend suffered grievous losses, the Primordial Demonic Ape had been nurtured with great care by its master. Its cultivation had now advanced to the Seventh Layer Great Luo Golden Immortal [the seventh layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm].

As a being personally cultivated by the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend, the Primordial Demonic Ape had become one of the core pillars within its master's forces.

Though unaware of this detail, the Black Abyss Great Emperor still advised: "Proceed with confidence. I will keep watch over the Demon Race [the collective forces of demonkind] on your behalf."

Eldrin Chen gave a nod of acknowledgment and continued, "However, after this campaign, I will require Daoist Abode [a secluded dwelling for cultivation] attuned to the elements of Wind, Ice, and Thunder within Primordial Unity territories. I must ask Your Majesty to arrange this for me."

"That can be easily managed."

The Black Abyss Great Emperor stated, then elaborated, "The Immortal Court [the celestial court of immortals] commands the Ancient Thunder Abyss Realm and also the Myriad Winds Ancient Land. Both can fulfill your cultivation needs."

"As for the earth vein of the ice attribute, you can go directly to seek out Grand Frost Emperor Lord [the sovereign ruler of the frost and cold domains]. I hear he is your ally."

Eldrin Chen smiled faintly, then immediately cupped his hands in a respectful salute and said, "Then I offer my thanks to Your Majesty."

Departing from Black Abyss Heaven [a celestial realm of profound darkness], Eldrin Chen returned to Eastern Departure Flame Domain [the dominion of the eastern flames] without delay.

Upon arriving at Eastern Departure Flame Domain, Eldrin Chen immediately proceeded to the Departing Flame Immortal Domain [the immortal sanctuary within the flame domain] and sought out Departing Flame Emperor Lord [the sovereign lord of the departing flames], who was in secluded cultivation there.

Several dozen Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles of destruction and renewal] had passed, and Departing Flame Emperor Lord's injuries had improved considerably.

The two met within the immortal hall, and Eldrin Chen came straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Departing Flame, I am preparing to move against the Li Yan Plateau."

Upon hearing this, Departing Flame Emperor Lord felt a tremor run through his heart.

He looked at Eldrin Chen with immense surprise and delight before asking, "For this battle, are you confident of success?"

Having said that, Departing Flame Emperor Lord quickly shook his head.

During the great battle amidst the stars in years past, Eldrin Chen had joined forces with Meng Huang, the Emperor Lord [the sovereign lord of the Meng Huang domain] to hold their own against a mid-stage Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [a sovereign ruler whose power stems from the primordial chaos]. By now, who did not know that Eldrin Chen's combat prowess shook the heavens?

Reflecting on these Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of destruction and rebirth] where individuals like those on the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a cultivation method requiring great personal sacrifice] had successively attained the Dao, Departing Flame Emperor Lord grew deeply suspicious. If the present Eldrin Chen was preparing to move, it most likely meant his strength had advanced yet another step.

With this thought, Departing Flame Emperor Lord swiftly changed his tune and asked, "When do we act?"

Eldrin Chen smiled faintly before replying, "In the coming days. For this battle, we join forces. Upon success, you claim the Dao Authority [the sovereign right and power over a specific aspect of the Dao], and all else shall be mine. Agreed?"

"It is settled."

Departing Flame Emperor Lord agreed without hesitation, fearing Eldrin Chen might reconsider his words.

Swiftly, the two forged their alliance. The war machines of the entire Abyssal Immortal Alliance and the Eastern Departure Flame Domain [a vast region under the rule of the Departing Flame Emperor Lord] began to grind into motion.

Across the Eastern Departure Flame Domain, nearly one hundred Immortal Domain [realms governed by powerful Immortals] belonging to the Human Race began to marshal their strength.

And before the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend [a primordial demonic entity of chaos and flame] could even react, the two mighty powers—Eldrin Chen and Departing Flame Emperor Lord—along with close to two hundred Grand Luo Golden Immortal [peak-stage Immortals of immense power], had already encircled the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames [a primordial plain scorched by eternal, departing flames].

After surrounding the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames, Eldrin Chen did not strike immediately. Instead, he directly conscripted the Celestial Soldiers and Generals [heavenly armies] from the various Immortal Domain, mobilizing them to raise the curtain on the coming war.

As time flowed onward, after more than ten million years had passed, the various Immortal Domain had organized several thousand Heavenly Soldier Legions [elite military formations of celestial troops]. Over one hundred Great Luo Ancient Ship [ancient, colossal vessels capable of traversing the void and warfare] now formed a siege around the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames.

To utterly annihilate the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend [a formidable demonic entity born from primordial chaos and flame], this Great Dao Adversary [a being whose destiny is fundamentally opposed to the Great Dao], Departing Flame Emperor Lord even borrowed from an ally an ancient vessel of the Primordial Unity Level [the highest tier of cultivation, representing the unity of all primordial principles].

It was a Chaos Ancient Ship [a legendary ship forged in the primordial era] crafted from the skeletal remains of a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [an emperor-level being from the primordial chaos], serving as the ultimate treasure guarding a top-tier Imperial Court [a powerful, empire-like organization of cultivators]. It was armed with a colossal cannon refined from Primordial Unity Divine Gold [a divine metal infused with the power of Primordial Unity].

With this Primordial Unity Ancient Ship [an ancient, immensely powerful ship of the Primordial Unity level] as their core, the Human Race launched a fierce assault upon the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames [a legendary, flame-scorched plain from ancient times].

"Has Eldrin, the Abyssal Daoist [the Daoist title of Eldrin Chen, meaning 'Daoist of the Abyss'] truly gone mad?"

As the external forces pressed their relentless attack, chaos reigned within the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames.

The Departing Flame Chaos Fiend watched the Primordial Unity Ancient Ship bombarding his domain from without, his face contorting with fury and alarm.

He tore his gaze away, looking into the precious mirror before him, and could not help but demand, "Fellow Daoist Golden Spirit, it was you who urged me to assault the Abyssal Immortal Domain [the immortal domain ruled by Eldrin Chen] all those years ago. Now that Eldrin, the Abyssal Daoist attacks with such overwhelming force, will you truly stand by and watch me perish?"

Within the mirror, Golden Spirit Daoist [a powerful cultivator associated with golden spiritual energy], clad in resplendent golden imperial robes, maintained an expression of serene detachment.

He sighed softly before speaking. "The Black Abyss Great Emperor [a Great Emperor associated with the Black Abyss] has returned, and his power now surpasses what it was by more than double."

"With him secretly backing this conflict, the situation has become exceedingly difficult to manage."

Golden Spirit Daoist spoke thus, then added, "But rest assured, we have already gone to report this to the Vermilion Bird Sage Ascendant of the Demon Race. As long as you can hold out for a period of time, there is still a chance to turn this situation around."

With those final words, the Golden Spirit Daoist directly terminated the communication.

"Damnation!"

The Departing Flame Chaos Fiend was utterly enraged, so furious he nearly smashed the precious mirror [a magical artifact used for long-distance communication].

At the same time, the Golden Spirit Ancient Ancestor was within the Celestial Court [the central governing palace of the Demon Race] of the Demon Race, surrounded by a group of Demon Race Emperor Lord [a title for a supreme ruler among cultivators, equivalent to an emperor].

Among the many Demon Race Emperor Lord, the Desolate Ape Emperor Lord wore a cold, mocking smile as he spoke: "This Departing Flame Chaos Fiend is truly foolish. Although the conflict between our demon race and the human race is immense,"

"what does the life or death of a mere Chaotic Fiendgod [a powerful, primordial demon born from chaos] have to do with us?"

Only the Golden Spirit Emperor Lord felt a sense of shared sorrow, like a fox mourning the death of a hare, and could not help but ask: "Are we truly not going to rescue him?"

"We are not!"

The Pure Yang Great Emperor declared, then stated: "We and the other Sage Ascendant [a supreme cultivation realm, one step below the legendary Earth Immortal] are individuals who value our honor. As long as Eldrin, the Abyssal Daoist does not break through to the Emperor Lord realm, it would be improper for us to move against him."

"To avoid unforeseen complications, having Eldrin, the Abyssal Daoist step into the Primordial Unity [the highest known cultivation realm, representing the state of primordial oneness] realm as soon as possible and swiftly subdue him would indeed be a sound strategy."

Upon hearing this, Golden Spirit Emperor Lord fell into a contemplative silence.

If Departing Flame Chaos Fiend could be sacrificed as a pawn today, would he himself become a pawn to be discarded in the future?

Burdened by this unsettling sense of shared peril, thoughts flickered incessantly within Golden Spirit Emperor Lord's mind before he ultimately suppressed them.

While the Demon Race emperors were plotting, the battle on the front lines had already reached a fever pitch.

The Human Race heroes relentlessly assailed the grand Formation [a complex arrangement of energy channels and nodes used for defense or attack], gradually depleting its power. However, Departing Flame Chaos Fiend commanded a Primordial Unity-grade Daoist Abode [a cultivator's sanctum, often a cave or palace imbued with profound spiritual energy].

At this rate, it would likely take several Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles spanning billions of years] to breach the formation, and there was a significant risk that Departing Flame Chaos Fiend would simply escape in the end.

Realizing this, Eldrin Chen was unwilling to delay any further and resolved to end the battle swiftly.

He silently transmitted a message into the heart of the Formation, which was finally received by the Primordial Demonic Ape on the other side.

As one of Departing Flame Chaos Fiend's most trusted lieutenants, the Primordial Demonic Ape controlled one of the seven most crucial Formation eyes [core energy nodes] within the grand Formation of the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames.

At this moment, upon receiving the message, Primordial Demonic Ape [a powerful ancient ape demon] immediately took action. It ambushed and severely wounded the powerful expert who was jointly guarding the grand formation with it, and directly returned to this crucial formation node.

With one of the seven core formation nodes lost, the power of the grand formation instantly diminished drastically, its potency reduced by more than half.

Simultaneously, Eldrin Chen, Departing Flame Emperor Lord, and the Primordial Unity [a supreme cultivation realm] Great Cannon struck together. Before the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend [a powerful fiend from the Chaos] could react, they forcefully blasted the grand formation open.

"Disaster…"

The Departing Flame Chaos Fiend felt its heart lurch, only then realizing it was the Primordial Demonic Ape who had played the treacherous hand.

Incredulous, it sought to slay the Primordial Demonic Ape, but a bolt of Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder [a supreme thunder technique born from primordial chaos] came sweeping across to intercept.

The Departing Flame Chaos Fiend, its wounds not yet fully healed, faced the full-force strike from Eldrin Chen. Caught off guard, it was sent flying, sustaining significant new injuries.

Seizing this opportunity, the Primordial Demonic Ape had already retreated to a position behind Eldrin Chen.

"Splendid. Just splendid."

Having suffered this grievous blow, a look of utter despair surfaced on the face of the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend.

He stared fixedly at Eldrin Chen, his face a mask of utter shock as he declared, "What a masterful ploy, sir. To have planted such a deep agent within my Ancient Plain of Departing Flames... No wonder I have suffered defeat after defeat in every engagement with you over these years."

Witnessing this, Departing Flame Emperor Lord also could not help but feel a tremor of astonishment.

Consider this: Eldrin Chen had only attained the Grand Luo realm less than thirty Kalpa Tribulation ago. Yet, the Primordial Demonic Ape had been placed under the command of the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend for nearly thirty Kalpa Tribulation already.

By that reckoning, did Eldrin Chen not plant this agent almost immediately after his own breakthrough to Grand Luo, right into the heart of the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend's forces?

Such foresight and audacity truly left Departing Flame Emperor Lord reeling.

In contrast, Eldrin Chen remained utterly composed. He gazed coolly at the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend, a glint of frost in his eyes as he stated plainly, "All is fair in war. Your predicament today, sir, is simply a testament to your own inferior skill."

"'Inferior skill,' you say?!"

The Departing Flame Chaos Fiend let out a roar of manic laughter. He immediately summoned a blazing Divine Spear to bear down upon his foe—a weapon that radiated the power of a twenty-four-patterned Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

In response, Eldrin Chen merely channeled his power into the Abyssal Seal with serene focus. The treasure transformed into the twin blades of the Sky-Severing Twin Swords, which met the spear's assault in a flash of clashing light. In that single, decisive exchange, Eldrin Chen effortlessly suppressed the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend.

By now, Eldrin Chen's combat prowess had reached a level comparable to a cultivator at the Fifth Layer of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm.

At the peak of its power, the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend possessed a cultivation base merely at the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord. While such combat prowess was not insignificant, it was by no means a match for Eldrin Chen.

Moreover, in the past, the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend had its physical body completely seized by Eldrin Chen. Its newly cultivated Primordial Unity Dao-body was still extremely weak from this re-cultivation, causing its strength to plummet to the level of the First Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm.

With such diminished power, no matter how desperately it resisted, its struggle was ultimately a futile last stand.

Furthermore, Departing Flame Emperor Lord had borrowed a Void supreme treasure to seal the heavens and earth. Even the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend could find no opportunity to escape.

Under these circumstances, the two sides clashed for merely over thirty thousand exchanges before Eldrin Chen once again shattered the physical body of the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend.

Seizing this moment, Departing Flame Emperor Lord pressed the attack relentlessly. Approximately three thousand years later, this Great Dao Adversary was finally and utterly annihilated.

"My gratitude," said Departing Flame Emperor Lord.

Having eradicated the Great Dao Adversary, Departing Flame Emperor Lord could scarcely contain his elation. Facing Eldrin Chen once more, a shade of reverence colored his demeanor.

In response, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, his expression calm as he offered a faint smile. "My congratulations, Fellow Daoist. You have finally achieved your wish and slain your Great Dao Adversary."

A flicker of joy passed over Departing Flame Emperor Lord's features before he spoke. "With this Great Dao Adversary slain, I can now attempt my breakthrough. I shall not linger any longer."

With those words, Departing Flame Emperor Lord departed directly from the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames, vanishing into the depths of the Vast Chaotic Void.

Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen immediately made his way into the heart of the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames.

By now, the battle had reached its conclusion. Although these Chaotic Fiendgod possessed formidable Force Extreme power, they ultimately proved incapable of achieving a true Heaven-Defying Fate Alteration against opponents like Lyra Jiang and the other True Spirit Prodigies.

Even with Lyra Jiang and her companions revealing only a fraction of their true strength, they swiftly annihilated the formidable foes.

Once all enemies had been subdued, Eldrin Chen immediately directed his people to scour the battlefield. Meanwhile, the many powerful observers from beyond the conflict swiftly disseminated the news of the outcome.

"As anticipated, the power of the Path of Self-Sacrifice appears roughly equivalent to that of a mid-stage Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch," came the analysis.

Within the halls of the Demonic Celestial Court, a gathering of Demon Race Emperor Lord reviewed the intelligence reports, nodding slightly in agreement.

Pure Yang Great Emperor gave a firm nod and stated, "According to the deductions of Heaven's Derivation Sacred Emperor, his power likely stems from the Dao Authority force inherent to the Path of Self-Sacrifice."

"Even if he were to break through to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm, his strength would not increase dramatically—at most, it might elevate to around the sixth layer of that realm."

Primordial Thunder Abyss Great Emperor nodded in assent and declared, "In that case, we shall proceed according to the established plan."

"As soon as he breaks through to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm, we shall be ready to strike at any moment."

After securing the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames, Eldrin Chen immediately relocated the dozen or so Immortal Domain [a celestial realm where immortals reside] belonging to the Abyssal Immortal Alliance to the periphery of the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames.

Thereafter, with the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames as its core, Eldrin Chen linked over one hundred Great Luo Nest [a sacred cultivation site for Great Luo immortals] and Immortal Domain to reconstruct and deploy a Primordial Grand Formation [a formation of immense, world-shaping power].

This formation could withstand the sustained assaults of several mid-stage Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch cultivators, its power surpassing even that of the one previously laid down by the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend.

Once all this was accomplished, Eldrin Chen convened a council of the Chen Clan's Grand Luo [a supreme immortal realm] elders, gathering them within the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames.

"Excellent, truly excellent."

"Henceforth, our Abyssal Immortal Alliance shall possess its own Primordial Unity [the foundational realm of a Primordial Unity cultivator] Daoist Abode [a sanctified dwelling place for a powerful cultivator]."

Within the grand hall of the Departing Flame Chaos Fiend, located deep in the Ancient Plain of Departing Flames, several dozen Grand Luo Golden Immortal [a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo realm] stood gathered, each unable to suppress a smile of satisfaction.

Seated at the center of the hall, Eldrin Chen reviewed the inventory scroll in his hand, a faint smile also gracing his lips.

The Abyssal Immortal Alliance now boasted not only several dozen Grand Luo Golden Immortal, but also multiple combatants at the Emperor Lord level, and finally, its very own Primordial Unity Daoist Abode. Within the vast hierarchy of the Primordial Emperor Court [the celestial court of the Primordial Era], they had truly become a force to be reckoned with.

It is a truth widely acknowledged across the Three Thousand Immortal Domains that the vast majority of Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarchs [the supreme rulers who have attained the pinnacle of cultivation] possess no Primordial Unity Daoist Abode [a supreme personal sanctum or pocket dimension created by a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch] to call their own.
