Chapter 1842 : 7 Tribulations Body

Even the chaotic storms at the periphery, where the primordial treasure ships navigated through torn weak points, were enough to annihilate ancient Immortal Lords with ease. No wonder the River of Stars Immortal Monarch of old had to mobilize 1,000,000 celestial soldiers and generals for the assault.

"Bzzz—"

Just as Eldrin was inwardly reeling with shock, the Great Dao in the void suddenly began to tremble.

Within the boundless treasure ship, 1 Eternal Immortal Light after another blossomed forth, as the supremely majestic radiance of the Great Dao tore through the primordial chaos, blocking the ferocious and overwhelming Chaos Divine Thunder.

"It is an innate spiritual treasure."

Tianya Ancestor murmured, his eyes brimming with incomparable astonishment.

For countless immortals, Primordial Spiritual Treasures were supreme marvels they dreamed of possessing—for the Ancient Immortals, they were even more, treasures embodying the very essence of the Great Dao.

To break through the Eighth Tribulation realm, Ancient Immortal powerhouses must anchor their nascent Great Dao within an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Through this process, the Great Dao merges and becomes 1 with the treasure, ultimately binding it irrevocably as their personal Dao-Ascension Artifact.

Only by refining a Primordial Spirit Treasure into a Dao-Embodiment Treasure could an Ancient Immortal unleash the full might of such a treasure.

At this moment, several 8-tribulation ancient immortals joined forces, activating their innate spiritual treasures to withstand the primordial chaos tempest. Sheltering the ancient innate vessel as it traversed the storm, their speed noticeably quickened by several degrees.

Witnessing this scene, Eldrin immediately remarked, "At this rate, they might traverse the Chaotic Tempest within tens of thousands of years."

"We can delay no longer. Let us depart at once."

As the words fell, the 3 immediately quickened their pace, heading toward the Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest.

Thus time flew by, and in a mere 8 100 years, they had traversed the boundless chaotic storm layer and arrived within the territory of the Chaotic Violet Phoenix Nest.

No sooner had they arrived at the Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest than Eldrin's expression shifted imperceptibly.

But deep within the chaos, a chaotic nest vaster than the immortal realm itself loomed across the void, bathed in an endless sea of thunder.

This endless sea of lightning was boundlessly terrifying. Each bolt of thunder was powerful enough to annihilate ancient celestial experts, and its density surpassed that of the chaotic storm layer by over a hundredfold.

Such a terrifying sea of chaotic lightning, where any single strike was potent enough to pierce through a great universe. Yet the Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest endured the endless bombardment of these divine chaotic thunderbolts day and night without showing the slightest sign of damage.

"This... is the Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest?"

Tianya Ancestor murmured under his breath, his eyes filled with unparalleled terror.

At this moment, even Eldrin was somewhat astonished. Could such a terrifying Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest truly be explored by mortals?

At the same time, the Innate Pure Sun Gourd (Magic Treasure) nearby remarked, "This is a defensive measure of the Chaos Violet Phoenix Nest, known as the Sea of World-Annihilating Heavenly Tribulation."

"That battle back then erupted so abruptly, the Flawless Celestial Phoenix Emperor had little time to prepare. If my deduction is correct, He likely departed without the chance to gather certain treasures."

"Thus I surmise that to prevent others from seizing the opportunity to steal the treasures, His Majesty deliberately stirred the colossal chaos tempest, unleashing this sea of world-ending heavenly tribulation to shield the Chaos Nest."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod upon hearing this and said, "This Sea of World-Annihilating Heavenly Tribulation is far more terrifying than the Chaos Tempest. Let us not dwell on it for now."

"The immediate priority is to locate a supreme-grade fire vein."

Speaking thus, Eldrin calmly surveyed his surroundings, but with just a single glance, his gaze halted and lingered.

Beyond the Chaos Purple Phoenix Nest, there stood over a 1000 chaotic nests. Most of these nests lay in ruins, yet a number remained relatively intact—some even preserved in perfectly flawless form.

Yet within this chaos, countless bolts of chaotic thunder still descended, each strike possessing terrifying power.

The Primordial Renshui Gourd timely reminded, "In that great battle back then, the Chaos Storm Layer was breached, triggering countless chaotic thunder tribulations that leaked all the way to the edges of this Chaos Lair. We must proceed with caution."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and said, "Follow behind me."

With these words, Eldrin immediately activated his Primordial Chaos Aegis to shield the group, then took the lead in striding forward—step by measured step—toward the location of these chaotic nests.

They had not traveled far before they had explored quite a few Chaos Nests 1 after another. To their astonishment, however, most of the treasures within these Chaos Nests had already vanished.

Few artifacts remained, most of them damaged beyond repair. Only within the chaotic nests brimming with formidable restrictions did precious treasures still endure.

"In that great battle of yore, the Chaos Godfiend commanded no small number of followers. If my deductions are correct, most of these treasures were likely taken by those acolytes."

The Primordial Pure Yang Gourd spoke, and at this point he added, "Of course, the Chaos Beasts under the command of the Violet Extremity Ancient Phoenix likely wouldn’t have been completely wiped out either."

Eldrin nodded calmly, striding forward for what felt like an eternity before finally arriving before a chaotic nest shaped like a crimson phoenix. His expression grew solemn as he came to a halt.

Chaos Phoenix Roost.

At the very moment he laid eyes on this Chaos Nest, the Innate Li Fire Gourd (Magic Treasure) slightly changed his expression and immediately spoke, "He actually hasn't destroyed it yet."

Eldrin's gaze flickered slightly as he recalled the origins of this lair.

The Chaos Nirvana Phoenix Nest, also known as the Chaos Crimson Phoenix Nest, stands as 1 of the 7 Chaos Phoenixes. Innately wielding the primordial power of the Chaos Nirvana Flame Dao, it is revered as the progenitor of the Vermilion Bird of the Southern Li lineage.

Before them lay the Chaos Li Phoenix Nest, a primordial sanctuary discovered by the Violet Ultimate Ancient Phoenix in the chaotic void and meticulously nurtured for dozens of kalpas.

Within this chaotic lair dwelled a supreme Chaos Saint Spirit known as the 'Chaos-Severing Phoenix', whose cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal realm, making it the foremost powerhouse under Her Majesty the Violet Ultimate Ancient Phoenix.

"The foundation and combat prowess of this Primordial Chaos Phoenix are likely on par with the Primordial Chaos Black Dragon, Eldrin (Person Name)."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a flicker of astonishment gleaming in his eyes.

The Primordial Pure Yang Gourd also nodded slightly, its tone tinged with envy, "The Primordial Chaos Phoenix possesses battle prowess that shakes the heavens and has earned the profound favor of His Majesty the Purple Ultimate. He even bestowed upon it a wisp of Primordial Indestructible Radiance, enabling the ascension of its bonded treasure—the Blazing Phoenix Ancient Tapestry."

"If He had not fallen this time, this kalpic tribulation would have been her moment to prove her Dao."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow but refrained from speaking further.

Cultivating to this day, Eldrin had come to understand the true terror of heavenly tribulations. The Cosmic Tribulation was not merely the calamity of the Qingcang Celestial Realm, nor was it confined to the 3 1000 celestial domains. It was the manifestation of the Great Dao of Tribulation and Fortune within the primordial chaos.

It is 1 of the foundational Great Daos of chaotic cycles and the revolutions of the heavens, capable of affecting the boundless chaos itself.

During the Quantumn Cataclysm, when the Great Luo do not emerge, it presents not only the prime opportunity for ancient immortals across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains to prove their path toward Great Luo, but also the most opportune moment for those Primordial Sacred Spirits within the chaos to break through and become Chaos Demon Gods.

Whether it is entrusting oneself to the Great Dao to attain the rank of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, or seizing control of the Great Dao to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm—these have never been the exclusive domain of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains.

In that moment, Eldrin suddenly felt that perhaps the 3 1000 celestial realms weren't particularly special places within the chaos.

Just as mortals dwelling upon the stars initially believe their own celestial sphere to be the cosmic center, it is only when they step beyond its confines that they comprehend the countless stars scattered across the infinite cosmos like grains of sand in the Ganges.

Looking back now, 1 realizes that a single life-bearing star, in the vast expanse of the cosmos, may be so minuscule as to be negligible.

From this perspective, when looking back at the 3 1000 celestial domains, could the same be true?

Eldrin dared not dwell on it further and swiftly severed the wandering thoughts in his heart. To him now, the Chaos was as boundless as the vast, fathomless sea.

As for whether this vast sea was a realm of rivers, lakes, and oceans or an endless expanse of cosmic starry skies, he was merely a drifting leaf upon its currents—still unworthy to comprehend its depths.

At this thought, Eldrin gazed upon the Chaos Li Phoenix Nest before him and calmly declared, “This place shall be the first step for my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body to truly cross the threshold of the Great Luo.”

The moment his words fell, Eldrin stepped onto the Chaos Phoenix Nest.

Boom—

The moment Eldrin set foot into the Chaotic Phoenix Nest, he instantly sensed a colossal wave of flames surging toward him, while endless bolts of thunder descended from the highest heavens, crashing down upon him.

Eldrin expanded his Primordial Chaos Aura, impervious to thunder strikes and fire burns, and calmly instructed, "This place is perilous. Step back and wait."

Tianya Patriarch and the Celestial Maiden knew full well that with their current strength, enduring this Chaos Divine Thunder would entail immense risks. Without hesitation, they withdrew beyond the Chaos Nest.

Witnessing this, Eldrin continued to press forward. Braving the raging flames and roaring thunder, he finally arrived at the heart of this chaotic lair.

It was a celestial flame pool, brimming with dazzling Primordial Li Fire intense enough to smelt divine metals and ancient treasures. Even a mighty ancient immortal would be reduced to ashes upon setting foot within.

Unfortunately, aside from this, there was nothing else in the nest. Judging by the absence of any signs of battle here, it was clear that the contents had been taken away by someone.

"It seems the Chaos Phoenix still lives, and has taken the rare treasures within this Chaos Nest."

Eldrin spoke with an air of nonchalance, utterly unperturbed.

The collection of an 8-Calamity Chaos Saint might indeed be considered rare and extraordinary, but what Eldrin truly valued was the essence of this Chaos Nest itself.

Without delay, he stepped into the Flaming Immortal Pool.

The moment he stepped inside, a torrent of Primordial Li Fire surged forth—its intensity potent enough to incinerate even a 6-tribulation Ancient Immortal.

Fortunately, Eldrin’s Innate Primordial Indestructible Body was exceptionally resilient against all forms of aberrant energies—even this Primordial Li Fire struggled to completely consume him in its flames.

"Perfect timing to refine my golden body with this innate Li Fire."

Eldrin’s voice faded as he immediately began drawing upon the Primordial Li Fire, inhaling and exhaling the fire essence of the Li Fire Nest to temper his golden body.

At the very moment the Innate Li Fire entered his body, the overwhelming power of Li Fire began to scorch within Eldrin. Coupled with the tempering of the primordial Li Fire that could incinerate all things, it actually set his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body ablaze.

Throughout this process, Eldrin burned as if set ablaze, his flesh sizzling and crackling under the flames.

Yet upon closer inspection, 1 would notice that within the charred flesh, countless impurities transformed into black smoke, vanishing without a trace.

Throughout this process, Eldrin's physical body grew increasingly radiant, shining with the dazzling brilliance of immortal gold.

This was the accumulated impurities after Eldrin refined 5 strands of supreme Chaos Nest origin. Under normal circumstances, it would take Eldrin at least several tens of millions of years to completely refine them all.

Yet now, with the aid of the innate Li Fire, tempered from within and without, it was swiftly purged and refined for the most part.

"Forging the physical body is akin to crafting a divine artifact."

Drawing upon the essence of the 5 Elements, then tempering it with True Flame to purge its impurities—what remains is a rare and extraordinary metal.

However, to fully forge a divine treasure, it must endure tempering through thunder and blizzards, undergoing thousands of hammer strikes before it can ultimately reveal its peerless edge.

Eldrin murmured softly, his path of cultivation crystal clear in his mind. He had fully perfected the cultivation method of the Great Luo Primordial Immortal Body.

He took a slow, deep breath, then abruptly inhaled the earth vein's origin energy, instantly drawing countless flames of origin into his body.

As he continuously refined the origin of fire, Eldrin's Innate Primordial Indestructible Body grew increasingly powerful. Upon breaking through a certain limit, he refined 20-4 strands of primordial qi in 1 breath. At last, a world-shaking roar erupted from within his body.

The Minor Completion of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, the eleventh-limit supreme physical form.

Eldrin murmured softly, taking a moment to sense the extent of his power before a ripple of emotion shimmered in his gaze.

In this moment, Eldrin, possessing an 11-extremity physical body, could contend against 6-calamity ancient immortals through physical strength alone, wielding combat prowess that few across heaven and earth could rival.

Yet even so, Eldrin did not cease.

He opened his Primordial Divine Treasury, and countless streams of gold, wood, water, and earth essence surged forth, all of which he refined into his physical body.

At the same time, he continued to inhale and exhale the power of Fire Origin, replenishing its essence while simultaneously refining impurities within the 5 Elements Origin through internal and external cultivation.

Thus time flowed on unceasingly, until 1 day when Eldrin opened his eyes and discovered that the origin energy within his Primordial Divine Treasury had been completely depleted.

And his Innate Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body seemed to have once again made tremendous progress.

Eldrin clenched his fist, immediately sensing a power capable of piercing through the cosmos surge within him. After a brief moment of attunement, he realized his strength seemed to have shattered yet another limit—as if a single strike could now annihilate a Sixth Tribulation Ancient Immortal.

"This power..."

"It doesn't seem to have reached the level of the Twelfth Limit yet."

Eldrin murmured softly, his brow furrowing slightly. The power of the 12 Limits relied solely on physical strength to suppress the 8 Heavenly Passes. Possessing the combat prowess of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, 1 could even confront innate spiritual treasures with bare hands.

His current strength had not yet reached that level; strictly speaking, he was still far from it.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, his physical combat prowess alone should be sufficient to withstand the full-force assault of a 7 Calamity Ancient Immortal, matching the battle strength of such an entity.

Yet such combat prowess remained worlds apart from that of an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal. The chasm between the Eleventh Limit and the Twelfth Limit was simply too vast—an insurmountable abyss.

Throughout the ages, those capable of achieving this feat were either a handful of Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages, or those possessing the latent potential to ascend to such heights.

However, no matter what, Eldrin had now taken another step beyond the Eleventh Limit, perhaps already reaching the quasi-Twelfth Limit standard.

Although this Quasi-Twelvefold Threshold still had a considerable distance to traverse before reaching the true Twelvefold Threshold.

With this thought, Eldrin slowly withdrew his focus. He took a long, deep breath and stepped out of the Li Fire Nest of the Returning Abyss.
