Chapter 2029 : A Lesson for the Emperor Sovereign

Understanding the cause and effect, Eldrin Chen could not help but smile and say, "In that case, Great Wilderness Emperor Sovereign losing the Opportunity to prove his path to Chaos Celestial Emperor might not be a bad thing after all."

Liora, the Emperor Lord let out a soft sigh, then nestled into his embrace and said, "Had he succeeded in proving his path to Chaos Celestial Emperor, I fear I would have been powerless to resist. I would not have met you today."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, a flicker of cold light appearing in his eyes.

The gulf between a Chaos Celestial Emperor and a Primordial Chaos Realm Emperor Lord was immense. Had that Great Wilderness Emperor Sovereign truly stepped into the realm of a Celestial Emperor, Liora would likely have had no choice but to abandon her physical form and seek refuge within the Great Dao [the fundamental principle underlying all existence] with her Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] had she refused him.

With this thought, a thread of killing intent bloomed within his gaze. Regardless of the circumstances of the past, Liora, the Emperor Lord was now his.

If fate ever brought him face-to-face with that Great Wilderness Emperor Lord again, and his strength proved sufficient, Eldrin Chen would not mind teaching the man a lesson.

Suppressing these thoughts, Eldrin Chen spoke, "From our campaign on the Desolate Ancient Continent, we seized a Great Dao Source Stone. Would you like to attempt a breakthrough to the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm?"

Hearing this, Liora, the Emperor Lord could not suppress a flicker of joy.

The so-called Great Dao Source Stone was an exceedingly rare, top-grade Primordial Unity Spiritual Treasure. It was a manifestation of Dao Origin [the primordial source of the Dao], brimming with boundless power of the Great Dao.

For a cultivator refining the Great Dao, successfully absorbing a Great Dao Source Stone could increase their chances of breaking through to the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm by approximately thirty percent.

At this thought, Liora, the Emperor Lord felt a stirring in her heart, yet she could not help but shake her head. "When breaking through to the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm, there is one opportunity to undergo a metamorphosis of one's own foundation," she said.

"This concubine wishes to seize that chance to assail the True Spirit Primordial Spirit [the highest attainable state of the spiritual core, representing perfect unity with one's true essence]. Perhaps it is better to wait a little longer."

Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's gaze flickered with a trace of contemplation.

Upon reaching the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm, it becomes possible once more to shatter one's own limits and cultivate a new True Spirit Foundation [the foundational cultivation base refined from one's truest spiritual essence].

However, few can accomplish this in the early or middle stages of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm. The vast majority can only attempt to forge additional foundational pillars upon reaching the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm.

Liora, the Emperor Lord possessed commendable talent and had already achieved a half-step True Spirit Primordial Spirit. With sufficient Opportunity [a confluence of fate, resources, and enlightenment necessary for major breakthroughs], she indeed had the potential to complete this breakthrough.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen mused, "Forging a True Spirit Primordial Spirit is no small feat."

"Coincidentally, I possess two volumes of ancient, peerless scriptures. You may contemplate them; perhaps they will offer you some aid."

So saying, Eldrin Chen retrieved his Heart-Seeing Self Path [a supreme cultivation method focused on introspection and understanding one's true nature] and handed it to Liora, the Emperor Lord for her study. He also permitted her to contemplate the scripture contained within the Innate Supreme Treasure - Human Soul Book [a primordial treasure born of heaven and earth, containing profound truths of the human soul].

In truth, Eldrin Chen also held another volume, the Earth Soul Scripture [an ancient tome of profound earth-attribute cultivation arts]. However, that was the companion ancient book of Grand Nether Emperor Lord, and without his consent, Eldrin Chen felt it improper to transmit this ancient scripture to Liora, the Emperor Lord.

Of course, for Liora, the Emperor Lord, two ancient scriptures at the Sage Ascendant level were more than sufficient.

Once he fully comprehended these two ancient scriptures, he would gain at least a thirty percent greater certainty in his breakthrough to the True Spirit Primordial Spirit realm.

"My gratitude, Emperor Lord."

Having obtained two supreme ancient scrolls concerning the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], Liora, the Emperor Lord could not help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise.

She planted a kiss on Eldrin Chen's cheek and then spoke, "It seems meeting you, Emperor Lord, has truly been a stroke of immense fortune for this humble one."

Eldrin Chen smiled faintly and spoke calmly, "First, immerse yourself in comprehending the ancient scriptures. I shall see if I can procure some Primordial Spirit Treasure [a treasure specifically designed to nourish or empower the Primordial Spirit] for you."

Leaving Liora, the Emperor Lord to her contemplation of the ancient texts, Eldrin Chen once more sank into secluded cultivation.

In the years that followed, Eldrin Chen dedicated himself to refining his spiritual power and his Primordial Spirit, striving to swiftly remedy his own shortcomings.

Thus, time flowed swiftly by. In the blink of an eye, another Two Kalpas [two immense cosmic cycles] had passed. While Eldrin Chen's cultivation of the Great Dao had not yet broken through, his Primordial Spirit cultivation had finally been fortified, advancing him to the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord realm.

This breakthrough granted Eldrin Chen a slight increase in combat prowess and afforded him a marginally greater degree of control over the Abyssal Pearl.

"It seems that for the foreseeable future, my Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] cultivation will find it difficult to achieve further breakthroughs."

On this day, Eldrin Chen emerged from his secluded cultivation, a faint sigh escaping his heart.

After his cultivation broke through to the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord, Eldrin Chen discovered that the progress of both his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] and his magical power cultivation was gradually slowing.

Unless he could find treasures akin to the Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit, the advancement of his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] and his comprehension of the Great Dao would gradually decelerate. For a long stretch of time in the Weilai, there would be no monumental breakthroughs.

This was a natural progression. After all, upon reaching the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch, the initial stages consumed fewer resources, allowing for rapid advancement.

But upon reaching the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord, with each subsequent layer broken through, one's foundation and Origin [the fundamental life force and source of a cultivator's power] would double, naturally demanding a vastly greater expenditure of resources and time.

When Eldrin Chen was at the First Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord, he had the Chaotic Divine Liquid as cultivation sustenance; it took approximately five or six Kalpa Tribulation [an immense cosmic cycle in Buddhist cosmology, often billions of years] to break through to the second layer.

Subsequently, to break through to the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord, if he had not obtained the primordial Yin essence of Liora, the Emperor Lord, it would have required close to ten Kalpa Tribulation [an immense cosmic cycle in Buddhist cosmology, often billions of years].

Now, having broken through to the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord, to advance to the fourth layer, even with the Chaotic Divine Liquid as cultivation nourishment, would likely require expending twenty Kalpa Tribulation [an immense cosmic cycle in Buddhist cosmology, often billions of years].

"It will still take twenty Kalpa Tribulation [an immense cosmic cycle in Buddhist cosmology, often billions of years] for all three foundational pillars to fully break through to the mid-stage of Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch."

Having comprehended his own combat prowess and foundational strength, Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a trace of solemnity flickering in the depths of his gaze.

Twenty Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles] were not a long span for a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch, yet for Eldrin Chen, it was by no means brief. After all, he had cultivated for merely fifty-one Kalpa Tribulation thus far.

"Should I attempt to Ascension [elevate to a higher state of being] another Innate Supreme Treasure Ancient Tree?"

Eldrin Chen pondered silently, a contemplative shadow crossing his features.

Through the accumulation of these twenty Kalpa Tribulation, he had once more gathered ten strands of Primordial Chaos Source Qi [the primordial breath of chaos, the source of all creation]. It should be sufficient to Ascension another Innate Supreme Treasure Ancient Tree.

However, Primordial Essence [the purest, most fundamental energy of creation] was exceedingly precious. Eldrin Chen would undoubtedly require vast quantities of Primordial Essence for his future breakthrough into the Chaos Realm. Thus, he dared not use it recklessly.

"Strength is the foundation of all things."

As his thoughts churned, Eldrin Chen finally steeled his resolve. He would Ascension one of his Innate Supreme Treasure Spiritual Root.

Decision made, Eldrin Chen surveyed the various Spirit Root [spiritual plants with profound properties] in his possession. After a moment of silent deliberation, he murmured, "But which Spirit Root should I Ascension?"

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree, the Earth Soul Fruit Tree, or perhaps the Soul-Nourishing Wood?"

Eldrin Chen fell into a moment of silent contemplation, weighing his options carefully.

If he chose to Ascension the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Eldrin Chen's comprehension of the Great Dao [the fundamental laws of the cosmos] would undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds.

Conversely, if he chose to Ascension the Earth Soul Fruit Tree, then Eldrin Chen's Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] cultivation would soar to the heavens in a single step.

As for the Soul-Nourishing Wood...

Eldrin Chen shook his head slightly. The Soul-Nourishing Wood was a one-time resource tree; once felled to harvest the wood, it was a single transaction with no future yield.

However, if he chose to Ascension the Earth Soul Fruit Tree or the Enlightenment Tea Tree, there remained the future possibility for them to Ascension into a Primordial Chaos Spiritual Root [a legendary spiritual plant of immense power].

Therefore, given a choice, Eldrin Chen was unwilling to Ascension the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

After much deliberation, Eldrin Chen's gaze settled upon the Earth Soul Fruit Tree and the Enlightenment Tea Tree. After careful consideration, he ultimately decided to first Ascension the Earth Soul Fruit Tree.

"Better to Ascension the Earth Soul Fruit Tree," he concluded.

With this quiet resolve, Eldrin Chen made his final decision.

The primary reasons for choosing the Earth Soul Fruit Tree [a spiritual tree bearing fruits that nourish the earth-aligned soul] were essentially twofold.

The first point was that Liora, the Emperor Lord also required the precious fruit of the Earth Soul Fruit Tree to cultivate her True Spirit Primordial Spirit [the highest, most authentic form of a cultivator's spiritual core].

The second point was that Eldrin Chen planned to first achieve Sainthood through the Flesh [a path of cultivation focused on perfecting the physical body to a divine level], then attain the Primordial Spirit Dao Attainment [the realm of comprehending the Dao through the Primordial Spirit], and only finally complete his breakthrough in Dao-Grasping [the cultivation realm of fully grasping a fundamental Dao principle] to step directly into the Second Chaos Realm [the second major stage within the Chaos cultivation system].

Following this sequence, cultivating the required Spirit Root [a plant or object of immense spiritual value that aids cultivation] would pose absolutely no issue.

Having clarified this in his mind, Eldrin Chen immediately proceeded to the Immortal Herb Garden and then activated his Authority of the Heavenly Dao [the power to command and veil phenomena according to the Heavenly Dao's principles] to shroud everything from sight.

After confirming no prying eyes remained, Eldrin Chen promptly channeled Primordial Essence [the pure, foundational energy of creation] to assist the Earth Soul Fruit Tree in completing its Ascension [the process of evolving to a higher state of being].

Thus, after expending nine strands of Primordial Chaos Source Qi [the primordial energy from which chaos and order first emerged] in succession, the Earth Soul Fruit Tree finally completed its Ascension, transforming into an Innate Supreme Treasure Spiritual Root [a supreme-grade spiritual root born with innate perfection].

"Earth Soul Fruit Tree."

Gazing at the Earth Soul Fruit Tree before him, Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a faint smile touching the corners of his eyes.

Upon the Earth Soul Fruit Tree now grew nine ancient 'Earth Soul Sacred Fruit' [sacred fruits that profoundly nourish and empower the earth-aligned soul], each one brimming with immeasurably vast and potent energy.

Eldrin Chen calculated with his fingers and deduced that this Earth Soul Sacred Fruit possessed boundless medicinal potency. For an Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord seeking Primordial Spirit Dao Attainment, consuming just one fruit could increase their chances of a breakthrough to Great Emperor by ten percent.

If a Sixth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord consumed one, advancing their Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] cultivation to the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm would be effortless.

However, the Earth Soul Fruit Tree was similar to the Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit. Such sacred fruits were manifestations of Dao Origin [the primordial source of the Dao]; in its entire lifespan, the tree would only bear fruit three times, producing a total of merely twenty-seven Earth Soul Sacred Fruit.

Eldrin Chen stored away the nine Earth Soul Sacred Fruit and then turned his gaze to the Earth Soul Fruit Tree, falling into deep contemplation.

"Legends speak of three Innate Supreme Treasure Spiritual Root within Chaos [the primordial state before creation]: the Earth Soul Fruit Tree, the Heavenly Soul Fruit Tree, and the Human Soul Fruit Tree."

"If one could obtain these three Spirit Root [a spiritual plant of immense value] at the Innate Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade treasure born from chaos] level and fuse them into one, they could metamorphose into that peerless treasure of Primordial Spirit Dao Attainment—the Chaos Three Souls Tree."

Mentioning this, Eldrin Chen felt a slight tremor in his heart.

It was said the Chaos Three Souls Tree was a supreme Primordial Chaos Spiritual Root, but for unknown reasons, it shattered during the Primordial Era [the mythical age of creation].

After the shattering of the Chaos Three Souls Tree, resources for cultivating the Primordial Spirit within Chaos gradually became scarce. Consequently, those who walked the path of Primordial Spirit Dao Attainment had grown increasingly rare.

"I already possess a Heavenly Soul Fruit Tree in the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss. If I could find the legendary Human Soul Fruit Tree, there might yet be a chance to restore the Chaos Three Souls Tree to Chaos."

With these words, Eldrin Chen gradually gathered his focus and withdrew an Earth Soul Sacred Fruit [a legendary fruit that nourishes and strengthens the soul's foundation], entering a state of profound seclusion.

The moment he consumed the Earth Soul Sacred Fruit, Eldrin Chen was instantly assailed by a torrential surge of soul-nourishing Primordial Source Power [the fundamental, purest energy from which all things originate]. His entire True Spirit Primordial Spirit [the perfected spiritual core of a high-level cultivator] was flooded with an energy of an exceedingly profound tier.

In that instant, countless fragments of Origin [the foundational essence of creation] were absorbed by his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], causing Eldrin Chen's Primordial Spirit to begin growing at a breathtaking pace.

At a visibly perceptible rate, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Spirit cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Before he knew it, it had already reached the absolute limit of the Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord [a specific, high stage of cultivation mastery] for the Primordial Spirit.

"The limit has been reached."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. Without delay, he consumed a large vial of Soul-Nourishing Treasure Liquid [a precious elixir specifically designed to fortify the soul], gathering a cataclysmic force of soul energy to initiate the ultimate breakthrough for his Primordial Spirit cultivation.

"BOOM—"

Accompanied by a violent, thunderous reverberation, Eldrin Chen felt the latent potential of his Primordial Spirit ascend to its absolute zenith.

In that fleeting moment, his Primordial Spirit began to soar, shattering the bottleneck of limitation in the blink of an eye and completing a metamorphosis that transcended the very concept of perfection.

"It is done."

"The fourth layer of the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], fused with the soul."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, gathering all his power. He refined the Innate Primordial Qi [the primordial energy inherent at birth] and fused it into his Primordial Spirit and True Spirit Aperture [the foundational spiritual orifice], continuously elevating his foundational cultivation roots.

When the process concluded, Eldrin Chen discovered that his Primordial Spirit Power [the power derived from one's spiritual core] had increased by approximately twofold.

Only then did a faint smile touch Eldrin Chen's lips. He attempted to channel the Abyssal Pearl [an innate supreme treasure of profound power] and found that, following his Primordial Spirit breakthrough, his mastery over the treasure had ascended once more, reaching the level of eighty percent control.

This meant the present Eldrin Chen could now unleash eighty percent of the might inherent in this Innate Supreme Treasure [a treasure born of heaven and earth, possessing supreme power].

"Even without activating the Abyssal Pearl, my combat prowess should now be considered extraordinary, barely stepping into the domain of the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord [the eighth tier of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm]."

After assessing his own capabilities, Eldrin Chen could not help but let a smile grace his features.

Having settled his internal state, he once more entered the Great Wilderness Sacred Hall [the sacred hall within the Great Wilderness] and summoned Immortal Desolation Emperor to inquire, "How fares the recovery of your injuries?"

"The wounds to my Primordial Spirit have been restored," replied Immortal Desolation Emperor calmly, yet he added, "This is the lingering effect of the Forbidden Divine Ability [a divine ability whose use carries severe consequences]. I fear it will require several dozen Kalpa Tribulations [immense cosmic cycles of time, often billions of years] to fully recover."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and inquired, "If you break through to the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord, can you shorten the aftereffects of the Forbidden Divine Ability [a supreme technique whose use carries severe, often crippling, consequences]?"

Immortal Desolation Emperor pondered for a moment before replying, "Perhaps... I could reduce it to ten Kalpa Tribulation [a cosmic cycle of immense duration, often used to measure vast spans of time]."

"Ten Kalpa Tribulation?"

Eldrin Chen considered this briefly, then declared, "In that case, I shall lend you my aid."

As he spoke, Eldrin Chen waved his sleeve and presented him with a Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit [a legendary fruit brimming with primordial spiritual essence, said to greatly enhance cultivation].

"A Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit."

Immortal Emperor Lord's eyes gleamed with recognition. "This treasure can grant a cultivator at the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord a thirty percent chance of successfully advancing to the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord," he stated.

"You bestow this upon me so freely? Are you not afraid that once I break through, I might turn against you and seize the dominant position?"

Eldrin Chen simply smiled. "I trust you," he said.

"You... trust me?"

Immortal Emperor Lord let out a hearty laugh, accepted the Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit and said, "A scholar dies for his confidant. Having earned your trust to such a degree, I will certainly not disappoint you."

After seeing off the Immortal Emperor Lord, Eldrin Chen stood silently within the great hall. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a flicker of intense light gleaming in the depths of his eyes.

"Ten Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of immense duration]?"

In the years that followed, Eldrin Chen began a period of wholehearted, secluded cultivation [a state of deep meditation and training].

This time, Eldrin Chen was determined to fully comprehend the Primordial Chaos Dao Runes [the fundamental runes of the primordial chaos] and forge the seventh blank Dao Rune into a Primordial Chaos Dao Rune.

While he was in seclusion, the strength of the Great Desolate Ancient Realm also began to rise steadily.

With the two Innate Supreme Treasure Spiritual Root [roots of supreme spiritual treasures born of heaven and earth] drawing in the waters of the Desolate Sea, the world's Origin [the foundational, primordial energy of heaven and earth] within the Great Desolate Ancient Realm began to increase at a rapid pace.

As the world's Primordial Qi [the primordial, foundational energy of creation] grew abundant and the world itself continuously underwent Restoration [a process of renewal and strengthening], the cultivators of the Great Wilderness Primordial Domain also began to experience an explosive surge in their cultivation.

In the brief span of several dozen Kalpa Tribulation, the original top-tier Ancient Immortal [immortals from ancient times] of the Great Wilderness Primordial Domain had all converted to the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a cultivation path that involves great personal sacrifice for power]. Furthermore, nearly every Kalpa Tribulation saw the birth of one or two Path of Self-Sacrifice practitioners who reached the Grand Luo [a supreme cultivation realm].

This continued until, by the time Eldrin Chen had been in the Great Wilderness Primordial Domain for thirty Kalpa Tribulation, the domain already boasted sixty Path of Self-Sacrifice practitioners who had attained the Grand Luo realm.

Furthermore, the original Nine Great Priests also experienced significant advancement. Under the cultivation of Eldrin Chen, two new Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarchs were elevated to their ranks.

As for the original several Emperor Lords, their cultivation bases also began to show immense progress.

Not long after Eldrin Chen entered seclusion, Immortal Desolation Emperor, whose cultivation had remained at the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord level for several hundred thousand Kalpa Tribulations, stepped into the realm of the Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

After comprehending two volumes of ancient Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] scriptures, Liora, the Emperor Lord also, relying on the Earth Soul Sacred Fruit and the Great Dao Source Stone, stepped into the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm. Moreover, she achieved her wish and successfully cultivated a True Spirit Primordial Spirit.

Just as everyone was making their breakthroughs, Eldrin Chen's comprehension of the Chaos Great Dao had also reached its final critical juncture.

"The Chaos Great Dao encompasses all things. My Chaos Limitless Great Dao, at its root, is still based on only five Great Daos, not the complete and perfect Chaos Great Dao."

On this day, Eldrin Chen awoke from his seclusion, a trace of solemnity coloring his thoughts.

During this period of secluded cultivation, Eldrin Chen discovered that his Chaos Limitless Great Dao still had a considerable distance to cover before reaching the true Primordial Chaos Dao Runes.

This puzzled Eldrin Chen, for the true Chaos Great Dao encompasses all things. To comprehend all Daos in their entirety seemed an almost impossible feat.

"Impossible. If one must comprehend all Daos to cultivate the true Chaos Great Dao, then the difficulty of cultivating the Chaos Divine Rune would far surpass that of the three Ultimate Divine Runes."

"Yet within the Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state before creation], the Chaos Divine Rune [a supreme mystical symbol representing the essence of Chaos] is paradoxically the easiest Ultimate Divine Rune [a pinnacle-level mystical symbol of profound power] to cultivate. There must be something fundamentally amiss in this logic."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, his mind tirelessly sifting through the totality of his knowledge and insights. It was only after a long, profound contemplation that a glimmer of understanding finally dawned upon him.

His eyes slowly opened, and within their depths, a look of complete realization finally surfaced. "I understand now," he declared.

"While the Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state before creation] indeed encompasses all things, it does not contain them all from the very beginning."

"The Limitless, the Yin-Yang [the dual forces of passive and active, dark and light], the Three Powers, the Four Symbols, the Five Elements [the fundamental building blocks of the cosmos: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth], the Six Harmonies, the Seven Stars, the Eight Trigrams, the Nine Palaces, and indeed all of creation—all were born from and derived from the Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state before creation]."

"Yet Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state before creation] remains, in its essence, Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state before creation]. It is not these myriad things it has spawned."

"Rather than endlessly contemplating the countless derived Daos [the fundamental principles or paths], one should trace them back to their source, seeking their ultimate origin within the Great Dao itself."

In that instant, a serene smile graced Eldrin Chen's lips.

Within his gaze, a flash of enlightenment solidified. Deep within his being, his Chaos Limitless Great Dao [a supreme cultivation art merging the principles of Chaos and the Limitless] began a profound and fundamental fusion.

The five Great Daos within him ignited with brilliant radiance. They intertwined and collided, undergoing an ultimate metamorphosis, coalescing into a more primordial and ancient form—the Chaos Great Dao [the supreme, foundational principle of primordial Chaos itself].

"Chaos [the primordial state from which all things originate], it is the original state of all existence."

"It exists at the very beginning of all things' evolution. By tracing any phenomenon back to its source, one can ultimately arrive at the Chaos Realm [the foundational realm of primordial undifferentiated energy]."

"Conversely, even if one comprehends all the Great Daos [the fundamental principles governing reality] within heaven and earth, it is impossible to grasp the true essence of Chaos."

In a single Ksana-time [an infinitesimal moment], Eldrin Chen's Chaos Limitless Great Dao [a supreme cultivation art embodying boundless primordial chaos] underwent a continuous metamorphosis, culminating in an indescribable Ultimate Sublimation [a supreme transformation of one's very essence].

What manifested was an unbreakable Great Dao Divine Chain [a divine chain forged from the essence of a Great Dao], entwined and enveloped by boundless Primordial Chaos Qi [the foundational, undifferentiated energy of creation]. It radiated a supreme divine power, singular and unified like Chaos itself.

"Boom!"

The vast firmament above cracked open, and within the void, a resplendent Eternal True Spirit [the immortal, foundational spiritual core of a supreme being] blazed forth with incandescent light.

In that instant, an endless True Spirit Long River [a metaphysical river composed of countless spiritual essences] surged forth, completely submerging Eldrin Chen within its torrential flow.
