Chapter 2027 : The Three True Spirit Foundations

After all, Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord was merely a single True Spirit Foundation cultivator, and while he had cultivated the True Spirit Great Dao, he had not achieved a True Spirit Primordial Spirit. Without that, forging a Root Origin Treasure was an endeavor of immense difficulty.

In other words, unless Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord encountered sufficient Opportunity [a rare chance or favorable circumstance for advancement], his hopes of breaking through to the eighth layer of the Emperor Lord realm were not great.

In contrast, Liora, the Emperor Lord had not only cultivated both the True Spirit Great Dao and a True Spirit Physique, but her Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] had already touched the threshold of the half-step True Spirit Realm.

Once she took the final step and achieved the Three True Spirit Foundations, her future prospects would be far more boundless.

Returning to the matter at hand, after reviving Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord, Eldrin Chen tossed him several segments of Soul-Nourishing Wood at the Supreme-Grade Primordial Spiritual Roots level, gesturing for him to first go and Restoration [recover and restore] his cultivation.

It was after Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord departed that Liora, the Emperor Lord approached, unable to hold back her question. "Once Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord completes his Restoration, do we move against Immortal Desolation Emperor?"

"We should wait a while longer."

Eldrin Chen shook his head. Through his battle with Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord, he had come to understand the terrifying prowess of those in the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm.

And compared to Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord, the Immortal Desolation Emperor was far more formidable in both skill and combat power.

As the former foremost figure among the Chaotic Fiendgod [ancient, primordial demonic beings] of the Great Wilderness Primordial Domain, Immortal Desolation Emperor had long ago reached the peak of the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm, even if his progress had stalled there.

If that were all, it would not be considered particularly heaven-defying. The most crucial point is that Immortal Desolation Emperor was formed from the transformation of Immortal Divine Metal [a legendary, indestructible divine metal], granting him a physical body whose strength could be called peerless within the same realm.

Whether in terms of physical defense, resilience, or raw power, Immortal Desolation Emperor had comprehensively surpassed the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord [the seventh layer of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm] and reached a level comparable to the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord [the eighth layer of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm].

It could be said that Immortal Desolation Emperor's true combat power, his Force Extreme [the pinnacle of physical force], was formidable. Even against an ordinary Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord, he could firmly establish himself in an unassailable position.

Conversely, although the five of them possessed extraordinary strength, they amounted to, at most, the combat power of four Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

Even with Eldrin Chen possessing his companion Innate Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure born with a being, containing immense innate power], the Abyssal Pearl, it would likely be exceedingly difficult to subdue Immortal Desolation Emperor.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke, "Immortal Desolation Emperor's strength is extraordinary. With our current power, we can at best slightly suppress him. I fear it will be very difficult to confront and subdue him."

"It would be better to wait a while longer. Only after my cultivation makes another breakthrough will we have a significantly greater chance of successfully suppressing him."

Liora, the Emperor Lord nodded slightly in agreement. Eldrin Chen, with a cultivation base merely at the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord Second Layer [the second layer of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm], already possessed such astonishing combat prowess.

Once his cultivation made another breakthrough, stepping into the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord [the third layer of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord realm], his strength would increase by another fifty percent.

If he could advance further, breaking through to the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord realm], Eldrin Chen's combat power would directly rival that of a Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

By that time, Eldrin Chen would be able to unleash the full power of his Companion Supreme Treasure, the Abyssal Pearl [a supreme treasure that grows with its master], making the suppression of the Immortal Desolation Emperor far simpler.

At this thought, a flicker of light passed through Liora, the Emperor Lord's eyes, and she said with a smile, "Then allow this humble consort to accompany the Emperor Lord in his cultivation."

Having decided to leave the Immortal Desolation Emperor be for the time being, Eldrin Chen once again settled into a stable life of secluded cultivation.

In the years that followed, he spent his time refining treasures like the Chaotic Divine Liquid [a primordial liquid of chaos] and Soul-Nourishing Wood [a miraculous wood that nourishes the soul], while using his leisure moments to explore the various Chaos Nest [places where the energies of primordial chaos gather] within the Desolate Ancient Continent.

Relying on the defensive power of the Indestructible Battle Armor [a suit of armor famed for its near-impenetrable defense] and the Abyssal Divine Rune [a divine protective rune], Eldrin Chen ventured into the Desolate Ancient Continent on multiple occasions. Right under the nose of the Immortal Desolation Emperor, he captured Desolate Tribe Emperor Lord and plundered various Innate Spiritual Root [spiritual plants born from the world's foundational energies].

Thus, time flowed swiftly. Several Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles] passed in quiet succession. Unbeknownst even to himself, he had managed to subdue every single Desolate Tribe Emperor Lord beneath the Immortal Desolation Emperor within the Desolate Ancient Continent.

By suppressing these Desolation Emperor and Great Luo Desolation Race [the most ancient and powerful lineage of the Desolate Tribe], he obtained more than thirty strands of Innate Primordial Qi [the primordial energy inherent to all things at the dawn of creation] and over one hundred Innate Spiritual Root.

With this new batch of resources added to his hoard, Eldrin Chen realized he had, without noticing, accumulated nearly one hundred strands of Innate Primordial Qi and more than four hundred Innate Spiritual Root.

"Truly, the Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea is a land where treasures litter the ground," he mused.

On this day, as Eldrin Chen returned once more from the Desolate Ancient Continent, a trace of profound reflection colored his expression.

Liora, the Emperor Lord personally helped him remove his battle armor, smiling as she said, "That is because the Emperor Lord possesses astonishing methods. If an ordinary person were to explore the Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea in such a manner, even ten lives would not suffice."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen nodded in agreement.

The Desolate Wastes are perilous and unpredictable. Even a Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord would face the danger of falling if surrounded by overwhelming forces.

The reason he could come and go with such freedom was primarily due to the protection of his Indestructible Battle Armor and the Abyssal Divine Rune, which could withstand attacks at the Great Emperor level and were unafraid of being swarmed by numerous Desolation Emperor-rank foes.

Otherwise, with his current level of cultivation, he likely would not have dared to venture recklessly into such a desolate realm.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen gathered his focus and proceeded to the Immortal Herb Garden to plant the Spirit Root [a plant whose roots contain potent spiritual energy] he had obtained on this journey.

"We already have over four hundred Supreme-Grade Primordial Spiritual Roots,"

Liora, the Emperor Lord remarked, her eyes brightening as she gazed upon the Innate Spiritual Root [a spirit root born with innate spiritual properties] within the Immortal Herb Garden.

Eldrin Chen nodded and then said, "It is a pity that nearly half of them are unsuitable to serve as the Heaven-Propping Ancient Tree [a mythical tree said to hold up the heavens]. Otherwise, we could attempt to lay down the Immortal Domain Grand Formation [a grand defensive and empowering array formation]."

Liora, the Emperor Lord nodded in understanding. According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, if they used the Great Desolate Ancient Realm as the core to set up the grand formation, supplemented by one hundred and eight Top-Grade Immortal Domain as the formation's focal points...

It would be able to suppress the surrounding area of the Great Wilderness Primordial Domain, roughly encompassing a small half of the Desolate Journey, and expel the Desolate Decay Power [a corrosive and annihilating force of decay] from within the Primordial Chaos Desolate Sea.

By that time, Eldrin Chen would be able to retrieve the Human Soul Scripture [a supreme scripture of the human soul], and with the power of this Innate Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure born of the primordial chaos], confront powerful foes.

Given the inherent suppression the Human Soul Scripture exerts upon the Desolate Tribe [a primordial race of desolation and decay], even if only three-tenths of its power could be unleashed, it should still be sufficient to deter that Sword Abyss Sacred Lord.

After all, no matter how formidable the combat prowess of the Sword Abyss Sacred Lord, his cultivation base remains firmly at the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

Returning to the main point, Eldrin Chen selected all the Spirit Root [the spiritual foundation of a plant or cultivator] unsuitable for serving as the Four Extremities Celestial Pillars [celestial pillars anchoring the four directions]. Then, harnessing the power of the Heaven-Earth Primordial Qi Vase, he elevated these Spirit Root to the rank of Supreme-Grade Primordial Spiritual Roots.

Among these Spirit Root were precious and unique varieties such as the Soul-Nourishing Wood [a wood that nourishes and strengthens the soul], the Great Luo Golden Bamboo Shoot [a golden bamboo shoot of the Great Luo realm], the Great Dao Fruit Tree [a tree bearing fruits imbued with the Great Dao's principles], the Enlightenment Tea Tree [a tea tree that aids in enlightenment], and others—all superior cultivation resources.

Even though Eldrin Chen possessed the Chaotic Divine Liquid [a divine liquid born of primordial chaos], it was not omnipotent. Now, with this batch of Innate Spiritual Root [spiritual roots born of innate nature], he could sufficiently compensate for part of the deficiency in his cultivation resources.

After processing these Innate Spiritual Root, Eldrin Chen spoke, "My recent accumulations are sufficient. This time, I shall prepare to break through to the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord."

"I must trouble you to guard me during my seclusion."

Liora, the Emperor Lord smiled, her eyes gleaming with intensity. "For this breakthrough, do you intend to attempt refining the Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit [a sacred fruit of the Great Wilderness]?"

"Mm-hmm."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, offering no further words.

He proceeded directly into the Great Wilderness Sacred Hall, immediately sealing the Sacred Hall to commence his breakthrough.

Since his breakthrough to the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord Second Layer, Eldrin Chen had cultivated for nearly ten Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles]. His physical body and his comprehension of the Great Dao had long since accumulated to a state of perfect completion.

For this breakthrough, he decisively refined three drops of Chaotic Divine Liquid [a primordial liquid of immense power], then began forcefully assailing the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord Second Layer.

In the blink of an eye, the power of Eldrin Chen's physical body surged violently, visibly shattering the bottleneck and directly stepping into the realm of the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord.

His Great Dao cultivation followed closely behind, its accumulation completed almost in the time it took Eldrin to turn around, breaking through to the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord.

Only his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] cultivation lagged slightly, still requiring the accumulation of several more Kalpa Tribulation before it could break through.

"It is done."

After completing his cultivation breakthrough, a silent murmur echoed within Eldrin Chen's heart, and a faint ripple stirred in the depths of his gaze.

After this breakthrough, Eldrin Chen felt the power of his physical body had undergone another immense enhancement, increasing by approximately fifty percent from its original foundation.

His spiritual energy [the vital force cultivated by practitioners] saw a similar growth, expanding by roughly the same fifty percent.

The simultaneous advancement of these two foundational pillars elevated Eldrin Chen's overall combat prowess once more, allowing him to touch the threshold of the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm.

Yet, this alone could not satisfy Eldrin Chen.

Taking a deep breath, he directly retrieved a simple, ancient-looking sacred fruit the color of primordial yellow and black.

"The Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit,"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. The Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit was a supreme treasure of the Sainthood through the Flesh lineage, an item of immense value even to a Great Emperor.

Such a divine object, a single one of its kind, was likely worth nearly half an Innate Supreme Treasure. Conventionally, it was consumed by an Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord attempting to break through to the Great Emperor realm to maximize its efficacy.

For Eldrin Chen, who had just entered the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord, consuming it now would be a grievous waste of a heavenly treasure.

Fortunately, Eldrin Chen's foundation was extraordinary. Even at the third layer of his Primordial Unity Body, his physical cultivation already rivaled half the strength of a Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

Therefore, refining such a treasure would not result in significant waste.

"I hope that after consuming one, I can achieve a breakthrough in my physical cultivation."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, then decisively consumed one Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit.

In an instant, an immensely potent medicinal energy surged within Eldrin Chen's body.

He felt as if a vast Chaos Sea [a primordial, formless expanse of chaotic energies] had been forced into his flesh; the boundless power threatened to burst his physical form, with even a wisp of its leaking force seeming capable of Annihilation [utter obliteration] the very fabric of Space-Time.

"Such astonishing medicinal potency."

Eldrin Chen focused his mind. The Five Viscera Divine Spirits [divine spirits residing within and governing the five vital organs] within him stirred to action, their five supreme forces voraciously devouring the medicinal energy of the Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit.

Meanwhile, the Abyssal Divine Rune [a profound mystical symbol representing the power of the abyss] blazed with radiant light, ceaselessly consuming the excess medicinal force and transforming it into a gentle, nourishing energy that bathed his flesh.

Consequently, Eldrin Chen's physical Origin [the foundational life force and essence of a being] began to swell at a frantic pace, increasing by more than ten percent in the span of a single Eldrin [a conventional short duration, roughly five to fifteen minutes].

As time flowed on, Eldrin Chen felt his physical Origin continue its ascent. Yet, just as it reached its absolute limit, the medicinal power of the Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit was completely exhausted.

"Even the medicinal potency of the Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit [a legendary fruit said to contain the primordial essence of the untamed wilds] cannot allow me to achieve an immediate breakthrough?"

Eldrin Chen was inwardly startled, but then decisively swallowed ten drops of the Chaotic Divine Liquid [a primordial liquid born from chaos, containing immense divine power].

In that instant, an infinite torrent of Chaotic Divine Liquid poured into his body, transforming into a deluge of divine power that surged through his flesh, forcibly blasting open an invisible bottleneck of the physical form. This propelled his Chaos Indestructible Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable, forged in the fires of primordial chaos] into the realm of Mid Primordial Unity [the middle stage of the Primordial Unity realm, representing a deeper fusion of one's being with the fundamental forces of creation].

"Mid-stage Primordial Unity Body [the physical manifestation of the Primordial Unity cultivation realm]. I must swiftly consolidate my cultivation base."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, decisively refining Innate Primordial Qi [the purest, most fundamental energy present at the dawn of creation] to enhance his latent potential.

After successively refining ten strands of Innate Primordial Qi, Eldrin Chen's physical body finally completed its consolidation, becoming utterly stable at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [a supreme cultivation realm, signifying dominion over the forces of primordial chaos] realm.

Not only that, Eldrin Chen also fused two or three strands of Innate Primordial Qi into each of his seven True Spirit Divine Runes [mystical runes that embody and channel the power of one's true spirit], continuously deepening their profound foundation.

"Hah—"

Only when everything was thoroughly solidified did Eldrin Chen finally release a heavy sigh of relief.

This time, refining the Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit and the Chaotic Divine Liquid to break through two consecutive realms in one breath had been an exceedingly risky endeavor. Yet, the benefits were equally undeniable.

After this breakthrough, Eldrin Chen's physical strength surged dramatically. Whether in terms of bodily resilience, foundational depth, or latent potential, the enhancement was roughly comparable to the realm of a Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

In particular, this breakthrough triggered a qualitative metamorphosis within Eldrin Chen's physical form.

Prior to the breakthrough, although Eldrin Chen's physique was profound and, to a certain extent, rivaled that of a Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord, a qualitative chasm still separated them.

If Eldrin Chen's body was akin to darksteel, then the physique of a Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord was comparable to immortal gold. The difference was fundamental; in a direct clash, Eldrin Chen would undoubtedly have been at a disadvantage.

Previously, Eldrin Chen's ability to contend with a Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord relied primarily on the power of the Abyssal Divine Rune and the Indestructible Battle Armor.

Now, Eldrin Chen's physical strength alone could rival a Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord. Augmented by the Indestructible Battle Armor and his myriad techniques, he should possess the capability to stand against even an Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

Furthermore, following this breakthrough, Eldrin Chen's mastery over the Abyssal Pearl also experienced a significant improvement.

"Fifty percent,"

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly as he slowly summoned forth the Abyssal Pearl.

This breakthrough had substantially increased his control over the Abyssal Pearl, allowing him to now wield half the power of this Companion Supreme Treasure.

It was a pity that Eldrin Chen's cultivation of the Great Dao [the fundamental cosmic principle and path of cultivation] had not yet achieved a breakthrough. Otherwise, with the quality of his spiritual power elevated to the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm, he would have been able to unleash the Abyssal Pearl's true form to its full ten-tenths of power.

By that time, even an ordinary cultivator at the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord would likely find themselves no match for Eldrin Chen.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen stored away the Abyssal Pearl. He then focused his senses inward to assess the state of his physical body, a slight frown creasing his brow.

"The foundation is rather unstable and unsubstantial," he murmured. "It seems my physical cultivation will be unable to advance any further for the next thirty Kalpa Tribulation cycles in Weilai's timeline."

Eldrin Chen shook his head slightly, a silent lament echoing in his heart.

This forced breakthrough in cultivation had granted him a tremendous surge in power, but the price was a foundation grown brittle and unsteady.

To recklessly push forward again would surely erode his latent potential.

In the time to come, Eldrin Chen would have to rely on the Refine Self Through Self Dao [a profound art of self-refinement through one's own Dao], continuously tempering and consolidating this unstable foundation until it was rendered utterly solid and unshakable.

"Perhaps it is for the best," he conceded to himself. "This is an opportunity to deepen my foundations, to allow my power to settle and mature."

With these thoughts flickering through his mind, Eldrin Chen stepped out from the confines of his Seclusion Chamber.

Upon exiting the Seclusion Chamber [a specially prepared room for deep meditation and cultivation], Eldrin Chen immediately summoned the four Emperor Lord [a title for a supreme ruler in the cultivation world]: Liora, Sword Profound, Dragon Turtle, and Diurnal Extinction.

The moment the four laid eyes upon Eldrin Chen, they all paused for a brief, stunned moment.

Sword Profound, Dragon Turtle, and the others felt a flicker of astonishment in their hearts. They promptly offered their congratulations, saying, "We congratulate the Realm Lord [a title for the master of a specific domain or realm]. With your cultivation base now soaring, you have drawn another step closer to the Chaos Great Dao [the primordial and fundamental principle of Chaos itself]."

The Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord perceived even more. After a careful appraisal, he could not help but speak, "Your aptitude is truly extraordinary. It seems you are confident in your ability to subdue and convert the Immortal Desolation Emperor."

Eldrin Chen allowed himself a faint smile. He had attained the Grand Luo [a supreme realm of cultivation] in ten million years, reached Primordial Unity [a state of perfect, undifferentiated oneness] after thirty Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of immense duration, often involving great calamities], and now, after merely twenty more Kalpa Tribulation, he had stepped into the mid-stage of Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [a sovereign ruler who commands the power of primordial chaos].

Such a speed of cultivation was likely among the fastest within the entire Vast Chaotic Void [the boundless, formless expanse of primordial chaos].

With this thought, Eldrin Chen swept his gaze over the Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord and asked calmly, "Fellow Daoist Diurnal Extinction, how fares the Restoration [a powerful ability to heal and rejuvenate] of your soul's injury?"

"It is no longer a hindrance,"

replied the Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord, a trace of a smile appearing in the depths of his eyes.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen gave a nod. "In that case," he declared, "let us prepare to make our move."

The four of them exchanged glances upon hearing this, the flames of battle within their hearts surging even higher.

Early the next morning, Eldrin Chen instructed Amani and the others to guard the Great Desolate Ancient Realm, then led all four Emperor Lord out from seclusion, charging straight towards the Desolate Ancient Continent.

Upon arriving at the Desolate Ancient Continent, Eldrin Chen glanced at the Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor beside him and inquired, "You have had many dealings with the Immortal Desolation Emperor. What is your assessment of his true strength?"

The Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor pondered for a moment before speaking. "The defensive power of the Immortal Desolation Emperor's physical body is not inferior to my own current state. In terms of raw force, he should be on par with an Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord."

"In a true confrontation, my only path would be retreat."

The Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord contemplated briefly, then added, "During the Primordial Era, I clashed with him several times, yet found no way to overcome him."

"By my estimation, an ordinary Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord powerhouse can contend with four opponents at the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord level."

"The Immortal Desolation Emperor is reputed to rival an Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord. Even if he falls short of a true Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord, against ordinary Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord foes, he should at least be capable of facing three at once."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen combined it with his previous deductions, and a clear understanding dawned upon him.

He gave a slight nod, then turned his gaze to Liora and the Sword Profound Emperor Lord beside him. "In this battle," he stated, "anyone whose strength falls below the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord level will likely be of limited use."

"Therefore, for this battle, the three of us shall take the vanguard, while you two provide support and diversion from the flanks."

Sword Profound Emperor Lord offered no further comment, yet a flicker of battle intent still gleamed within his gaze.

Upon hearing this, Liora, the Emperor Lord gave a slight nod, her expression tinged with concern as she looked at Eldrin Chen and cautioned, "If that is the case, you must also be exceedingly careful."

"Mm."

Eldrin Chen wasted no words on further discussion. "Let us begin," he stated directly.

As his words fell, it was the defensively formidable Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor who made the first move.

He manifested his boundless Dragon Turtle True Form, descending like a Primordial Divine Mountain to suppress the world. His vast form blotted out the heavens and obscured the earth.

"BOOM—"

At the very moment the Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor struck, the Immortal Desolation Emperor deep within the Desolate Ancient Continent made his move.

Clad in his Immortal Battle Armor, he took a single stride and unleashed a horizontal fist strike. The blow landed with devastating force, sending the Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor reeling through the air, blood spraying from his maw.

"Dragon Turtle... you dare betray me?"

In that instant, the Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor's murky killing intent boiled over.

In a flash, he flipped his palm and struck out horizontally, like a peerless Immortal King suppressing a rebel, forcefully sending the Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor flying once more, crashing through several vast mountain ranges.

Even with the Dragon Turtle Desolation Emperor's peerless defense, facing the divine might of the Immortal Desolation Emperor, he still felt immense pressure.

He grunted, retreating repeatedly, leaving a deep scar upon the Desolate Ancient Continent as he spoke with a pale face, "All of you, why do you hesitate? Act now!"

"Allow me to face you!"

The Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord spoke, surging forward like a Divine King from the Primordial Era, his peerless imperial robes flowing with the wind.

As the Diurnal Extinction Emperor Lord's eyes blazed open, a Eternal Divine Sun manifested behind his head, illuminating heaven and earth, revealing the Gloom of Eternal Daylight.

"Perish!"
