Chapter 1841 : Chaos Storm

"Not good."

In that instant, Patriarch Dienè’s heart sank as he immediately sensed something amiss.

The 10 Great Demon Generals glared with icy eyes, immediately gathering the power of over 1,000 Celestial Demons to strike across the cosmos, attempting to block this blow from the Innate 7 Treasures Gourd.

But it was already too late. The Innate 7 Treasures Gourd descended with overwhelming force, instantly shattering the power of the 10 great demon commanders. Its residual might swept across the heavens, mercilessly obliterating 3 of them.

"No—"

Eldrin Ancestor’s expression shifted drastically at the sight, his face revealing incomparable terror.

1 must understand that the 10 great demon generals, who had merged their essence with the grand formation, possessed combat prowess comparable to Fifth Tribulation Ancient Immortals. The battle strength of such individuals could truly be described as utterly astonishing.

Even if a 7-Tribulation Ancient Immortal were to strike, without employing a Patriarch-level divine ability, it would be extremely difficult to easily suppress and kill a 5-Tribulation Ancient Immortal.

Eldrin's strike was truly astonishing, almost rivaling the full-force blow of a 7-tribulation ancient immortal.

This was not only due to the might of the Primordial 7 Treasures Gourd, but also because Eldrin, wielding it through his Indestructible Primordial Spirit, had unleashed the artifact’s power to its absolute limit.

"Perish."

With a single strike slaying 3 great demon commanders, Eldrin decisively stored away the Innate 7 Treasures Gourd and urged the Chaos Heavenly Halberd to sweep across in a horizontal assault.

Although the power of the Innate 7 Treasures Gourd was immense—under Eldrin's (Person Name) activation, it rivaled a full-force strike from a 7-tribulation ancient immortal—the mana consumption was equally enormous, making it difficult for Eldrin (Person Name) to wield it repeatedly.

At this moment, Eldrin wielded the Chaos Heavenly Halberd, sweeping across the 8 directions. Alone, he faced several great demon generals, and with every effortless move, he drove them back in relentless retreat.

"You are a Seventh-Tribulation Ancient Immortal?"

Witnessing Eldrin unleash his overwhelming power, Dì Niè’s face revealed an expression of disbelief, his eyes now tinged with a flicker of terror.

If the only advantage lay with the Innate 7 Treasures Gourd, Di Nie would still remain utterly unshaken. After all, a formidable treasure demanded immense expenditure of magic power, and without sufficient cultivation, 1 could never hope to wield it continuously.

Eldrin harnessed the Indestructible Primordial Spirit to command his very being, converging all his essence, energy, and consciousness into perfect unity. Every strike he unleashed possessed power sufficient to rend the heavens and shatter the cosmos, transcending the limits of a 6-Calamity Ancient Immortal.

At this thought, a chill ran through Dì Niè's heart. Without hesitation, he tore through the void and charged into the depths of chaos.

Faced with the invincible combat prowess displayed by Eldrin, Emperor Nie chose to flee for his life without a moment's hesitation.

"He ran away?"

Watching Empress Nieve make her escape, Eldrin was momentarily stunned, yet he made no move to stop her.

A 6-tribulation Ancient Immortal fleeing at full strength would be difficult to detain even for a 7-tribulation Ancient Immortal, and Eldrin naturally could not accomplish such a feat either.

But as a 6-calamity ancient immortal, Dì Niè had actually fled without a fight, which truly took Eldrin by surprise.

At this thought, Eldrin turned to the 7 great demon generals beside him and declared, "Since he has escaped, then I must ask all of you to return to heaven."

Clang—

As the words fell, Eldrin struck with his full power, unleashing unparalleled divine might to confront the 7 great demon commanders.

Although these 7 great fiend generals possessed formidable strength, they clearly understood they were no match for Eldrin and immediately fled deep into the chaotic void.

The 3 of them struck decisively, yet only managed to slay 2 demon commanders. Fortunately, they seized the opportunity to claim that small, supreme-grade Primordial Ancient Vessel.

As for those celestial demons at the Heavenly Immortal realm, over half were slain by the trio, while the remainder scattered and fled into the primordial chaos, their whereabouts unknown.

Seeing this, Eldrin couldn't help but chuckle, "With this Primordial Ancient Vessel, it seems we can venture deeper into the Chaos."

Eldrin nodded slightly. Although the small, supreme-grade primordial ancient vessel was not particularly formidable in terms of offensive or defensive capabilities, it could store an immense amount of immortal spiritual energy.

This batch of immortal qi was sufficient to sustain the ancient vessel's navigation through the primordial chaos for 3,000,000 years. Were it utilized to replenish the arcane energy of an Ancient Immortal, it could approximately restore the power of a 6-Calamity Ancient Immortal 10 times over.

With such a Primordial Ancient Vessel at their disposal, they could not only venture through the Chaos for extended periods but also replenish their spiritual power aboard the ship.

Of course, small primordial arks cannot withstand fierce tempests—should they encounter a chaos storm, they would inevitably meet destruction, with the vessel shattered and all souls lost.

Eldrin did not dwell on it further. After a brief inventory of the spoils from the battle, he discovered he had acquired over 5 100 sets of weapons and armor from the celestial demons, along with numerous rare treasures—each 1 exceptionally valuable.

After taking stock of his gains, Eldrin turned his gaze toward the Chaos Nest nearby and remarked, "With the assistance of the Golden Crow Clan this time, we've obtained yet another supreme-grade Chaos Nest. They truly are good people."

The Celestial Maiden giggled upon hearing this. "This supreme-grade Chaos Nest is of the metal attribute, and its origin essence is perfectly suited for cultivating the Primordial Indestructible Chaos Body."

Now, most of the primordial beasts in the lair had fallen in battle, while the rest had scattered and fled, leaving behind only an empty primordial nest.

Eldrin had no reason to refuse such an opportunity delivered right to his doorstep.

He activated his Primordial Divine Vault, drawing in the essence of this chaotic nest, then declared, "This is no suitable place for cultivation. Let us retreat deeper into the chaos and take refuge for now."

As the words faded, Eldrin flew tens of thousands of dao-paths deeper into the chaos before finally discovering a secluded cultivation retreat.

Before entering seclusion, Eldrin first refined the Primordial Ancient Vessel 3 times using the Primordial Chaos Wuji Dao Principle. Only after confirming that no traces had been left by others did he finally retreat to begin his cultivation.

Thus, in the haste of cultivation, 3 1000 years passed in the blink of an eye. When Eldrin opened his eyes, he slowly let out a breath.

"This Golden Elemental Essence is finally fully replenished."

Eldrin murmured softly. After refining the Golden Origin, he discovered that his Innate Primordial Indestructible Body had grown another 20 percent stronger. Though the Eleventh Limit remained a distant horizon, he could feel himself drawing ever closer.

"The wood, water, and metal primordial essences have been fully replenished. Now, I only need to supplement the fire and earth essences to achieve minor completion of my Half-Step Great Perfection Body."

Eldrin murmured softly, then rose decisively and addressed Ancestor Tianya and Celestial Maiden Dao, "I wish to attain the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body as soon as possible. I beseech both of you to lend me your assistance."

Grand Elder Tianya nodded, his gaze serene as he spoke, "We are now over a 100 1000 dao-paths away from the 3 1000 Immortal Domains. With numerous Chaos Nests scattered throughout this region, if the 3 of us split up to search the periphery, we should swiftly locate a suitable target."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, cupped his hands and said, "I appreciate your assistance. Remember, we must not exceed a distance of 1,000 Pathsteps. Should any situation arise, do not engage—wait until we have gathered our full strength."

The Celestial Maiden also nodded and said calmly, "Then there's no time to waste. Let us split up and begin our search."

After making their decision, the 3 immediately split up to search, continuously seeking suitable Chaos Nests.

Because Eldrin required a Chaos Lair with compatible attributes, locating these final 2 lairs proved to be an exceptionally time-consuming and laborious task.

They continued their search through the primordial chaos, discovering countless chaotic nests along the way. Yet few were suitable for cultivating the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body.

Thus time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, 10 1000 years had passed. The Celestial Maiden finally discovered a supreme-grade chaos nest imbued with the essence of earth.

Drawing upon the primordial essence of this chaotic lair, Eldrin replenished his earth origin, leaving him merely a step away from achieving minor completion of his Half-Step Great Perfected Body.

Yet further on, the required fire-attributed supreme-grade Chaos Nests proved exceedingly rare to find. They had scoured the lands for tens of thousands of years, yet never once did they come across a fire-attributed Chaos Nest.

Until this day, when the 3 of them arrived at another chaotic realm, they discovered an unexpectedly dense concentration of chaotic nests in the vicinity. Most crucially, the majority of these chaotic nests were severely damaged, as if they had suffered heavy blows.

"What dense Chaos Nests, and they all seem to have endured brutal battles."

Gazing upon these chaotic nests, Patriarch Tianya couldn't help but pale slightly as he spoke.

The Celestial Maiden also furrowed her brow slightly. Since they had set foot in this realm, they discovered that the surrounding Chaos Nests were unexpectedly dense. In just a few 100 years, they had encountered dozens of Chaos Nests.

In normal times, 1 might not encounter so many even after exploring for tens of thousands of years.

Eldrin arrived before a dilapidated Chaos Nest, only to find it reduced to half its original form, as if torn apart by some supreme power. It retained merely 1-tenth of its complete structure.

"What a pity, these nests are all broken and their essence has long since dissipated."

Eldrin sighed with regret. Before him lay a Chaos Nest of the fire element—a peak-grade treasure that, had it not been damaged, would have allowed his Primordial Indestructible Body to reach the initial completion stage.

At this thought, Eldrin took out the Primordial 7 Treasures Gourd and pointed toward the Chaos Nest before him, asking, "Do you recognize this supreme-grade Chaos Nest?"

Chaos Crimson Li Nest!

The Primordial Li Fire Gourd suddenly spoke up, explaining, "This Chaos Crimson Li Nest is 1 of over 180 supreme-grade chaos nests surrounding the 'Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest'."

"In its prime, it was guarded by 8 Chaos Beast Kings, its power rivaling even our Chaos Gourd Nest. Who could have imagined it would now lie completely shattered."

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow upon hearing this and said, "It seems we are approaching the Chaos Violet Phoenix's nest."

Hearing this, the 7 Sacred Calabashes began discussing animatedly. The Innate Pure Yang Calabash felt tempted and said, "Since we've arrived near the Chaos Purple Phoenix Nest, should we go take a look?"

The Celestial Maiden pondered briefly before speaking, "Currently, all major ancient sects are exploring the Chaos Purple Phoenix Nest. Wouldn't it be too perilous for us to venture there now?"

Tianya Ancestor, however, voiced his support for the venture. "Even within the primordial chaos, supreme-grade chaos nests are far from common," he declared. "Let alone 1 that specifically aligns with your fire attribute requirement."

"My suggestion is that we might as well go and investigate. If the situation turns unfavorable, we can leave immediately."

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly, his gaze settling upon the Innate 7 Treasures Gourd.

Seeing this, the Primordial Pure Yang Gourd spoke up, "The Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest is our ancestral home. We are intimately familiar with its inner workings."

"Why don't the 7 of us lead the way? If things turn sour, I doubt anyone could stop you from leaving."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. With the protection of the Abyssal Pearl, his escape techniques could be considered unrivaled beneath the Great Luo realm.

The Innate Pure Yang Gourd understood this very point, which was why it suggested he withdraw from the current situation and venture forth to explore.

At this thought, Eldrin simply said, "Then the 7 of you lead the way."

As the words fell, the Innate 7 Treasures Gourd immediately and joyfully stepped forward to scout the path.

After several million years apart, the 7 innate gourds were exceptionally thrilled to finally return home.

They continued to traverse the chaotic void with the 3 in tow, soon arriving at a region of utterly turbulent chaos.

It was a vortex of chaos, surrounded by raging storms of primordial energy that enveloped the entire Chaos Nest.

Seeing this, the Innate Pure Yin Gourd explained, "This is the Chaos Storm Domain, akin to the moats of your human cities. It was forged by Her Majesty the Chaos Purple Phoenix, who summoned the primordial tempests to create it."

He enveloped the entire Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest, filling it with the power of the Great Dao of Thunder. The more powerful 1 was, the more terrifying the thunderous assault they would face when attempting to pass through.

And at the eye of the storm lay the Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest and its 3 1000 subordinate chaos nests.

As the explanation of the Innate 7 Treasures Gourd unfolded, Eldrin's brow subtly furrowed.

According to the explanation of the Innate Pure Yin Gourd, even an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal would have to pay an immense price to traverse the Chaotic Tempest, requiring at least 1 million years to cross this expanse of chaotic storms.

Even if the Chaos Storm had now torn open a rift amidst the great battle, it remained an exceedingly perilous passage. Even ancient immortals who had weathered 7 or 8 heavenly tribulations would need to pay a certain price and expend considerable time to cross it.

Given their strength, how could they possibly traverse this chaotic tempest?

At this thought, Eldrin turned his gaze back to the 7 Innate Treasure Gourds. Noticing his attention, the Innate Pure Yang Gourd spoke up: "There is actually a hidden passage within the Chaos Tempest. Passing through it poses minimal danger."

With that, the Innate Pure Yang Gourd began to lead the way, guiding everyone to a secluded corner of the Chaos Tempest.

At that very moment, Eldrin noticed dozens of Chaos Nests hovering amidst the chaos not far away, poised before the raging storm of chaos.

"They are..."

The 7 Treasures Gourd opened its mouth and declared, "If I'm not mistaken, they intend to gather the power of numerous Primordial Ancient Ships and Ancient Immortals to jointly withstand this Chaos Tempest."

"This move can indeed reduce the lethality of the Chaos Tempest, but it requires a certain price and quite some time."

Just then, the 7 Treasures Gourd noticed that those primordial ancient ships were already traversing along a rift of chaotic storms and couldn't help but say, "Let's hurry. We'll take the hidden passage—it should get us there a bit faster than them."

Seeing this, Eldrin immediately slipped through the hidden door.

The group pressed onward, only to discover that within the chaotic tempest raged overwhelming currents of primordial thunder. Each bolt possessed cataclysmic power sufficient to vaporize even ancient celestial masters into drifting dust.

Fortunately, as they moved along the secret passage, they were not struck by these chaotic thunderbolts.

But the treatment of the Primal Chaos Ancient Ship on the other side was entirely different. 1 chaotic lightning bolt after another rained down incessantly, battering the vessel until it teetered on the verge of collapse.

Countless celestial soldiers and generals, along with ancient immortal experts, desperately unleashed their divine abilities and archaic treasures to block the assault. Yet, in the blink of an eye, they were utterly shattered into fragments.

Even an innate ancient treasure would instantly shatter into fragments under such chaotic heavenly lightning.

"What a terrifying Chaos Tempest."

Eldrin was utterly astounded. In that moment, he finally grasped the true horror of the Chaos Godfiend Nest.
