Chapter 2050 : A New Dawn of Primordial Chaos

With these ten Immortal Vault Treasure [powerful enchanted artifacts of immense spiritual power], the might of Amani's Ten Great Immortal Treasuries [a profound cultivation technique centered around ten supreme treasures] was greatly amplified, and even her Body of Self-Sacrifice [a unique physical constitution forged through immense personal sacrifice] was significantly enhanced.

After completing all this, Eldrin Chen realized that with Amani's current foundational strength and reserves, she was already capable of contending with a Third Layer of Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord [a cultivator who has reached the third layer of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord realm], which brought him a measure of reassurance.

"With such combat prowess, she should be able to open the Primordial Unity Immortal Domain [a legendary and profound immortal realm representing the state of primordial unity]."

Thinking this, Eldrin Chen asked, "How do you feel?"

"I should have the confidence now," Amani replied. She looked at Eldrin Chen again, her expression brimming with immense joy. "Brother Eldrin, I owe you more and more."

"Grow strong quickly."

Eldrin Chen shook his head with a gentle smile, patting her head. "You once said the Daughters of the Great Wilderness [a legendary sisterhood of formidable female warriors from the ancient wilderness] are not inferior to men. I hope one day we can stand side by side in battle."

"Mm," Amani nodded, her eyes shining brightly. "Amani will cultivate diligently. When the time comes, I will help Brother Eldrin defeat all the villains."

"Good, I'll be waiting for that day."

Eldrin Chen chuckled, giving her shoulder an encouraging pat. "Go now. Strive swiftly to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm [a profound cultivation realm representing the primordial state of chaos before creation]."

Amani's breakthrough into the Primordial Chaos Realm proceeded without any unforeseen complications.

With her supreme foundation, she stepped into the domain of a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch, directly achieving the Primordial Unity of the Limitless Domain. Within her, a complete Immortal Domain [a perfected inner world cultivated by supreme beings] took form.

Following this breakthrough, Amani's combat power surged once more, granting her the confidence to contend with those in the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch realm.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, such aptitude was comparable to a Great Emperor of the Immortal Path. Barring unforeseen circumstances, she would at the very least cultivate to the Great Emperor Realm in the future.

In other words, those who cultivate the Path of Self-Sacrifice and achieve the Limitless Primordial Unity as a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch all possess the true Bearing of a Great Emperor [the destined potential and majesty of an Emperor].

As for whether they could advance further, it depended on whether Eldrin Chen could create the method for the True Spirit Immortal Treasury [a legendary cultivation art said to forge an immortal treasury within one's true spirit], and whether they themselves could successfully cultivate it.

"Perfecting this True Spirit Immortal Treasury method is proving to be no small challenge,"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly. He realized the difficulty of achieving the True Spirit Immortal Treasury was immense, and it was unlikely he could perfect it within a short timeframe.

After Amani's breakthrough, Eldrin Chen once again Restoration [resumed or restored] his tranquil life of secluded cultivation.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation thereafter. While the progress of his physical body cultivation was not swift, his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] and Great Dao [the cultivation of one's fundamental Dao or Path] cultivation gradually caught up.

Approximately thirty Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles in Buddhist cosmology] later, Eldrin Chen's Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] cultivation base stepped into the realm of the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

After another two or three Kalpa Tribulation, Eldrin Chen's Great Dao [the supreme cultivation path] cultivation also advanced a step further, reaching the Seventh Layer Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

Thus, all three of Eldrin Chen's foundational pillars had simultaneously broken through into the domain of the Late Primordial Chaos Emperor Lord Realm.

"My three foundational pillars have all been successfully elevated,"

Eldrin Chen mused inwardly, then turned his senses to gauge his own combat prowess.

He discovered that after this breakthrough, both his Great Dao cultivation and his Primordial Spirit cultivation had stepped into the domain of the peak Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord.

Combined, these two foundational pillars even reached a level comparable to that of a Great Emperor.

Such combat strength could be considered extraordinary, yet, unfortunately, it did not represent a significant enhancement for him.

After all, his ChaosIndestructible Body [a supreme physique forged in primordial chaos] already possessed combat power rivaling a Sage Ascendant; this minor increase could, at most, elevate his overall strength by half a measure.

Nevertheless, this breakthrough still filled Eldrin Chen with a sense of profound satisfaction.

Following this breakthrough, Eldrin Chen was now capable of continuing the Ascension [the process of elevating an item's grade and power] of the Abyssal Seal, granting it the potential to be elevated into an Innate Supreme Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact born from the primordial chaos of heaven and earth].

Once the Abyssal Seal underwent its Ascension, Eldrin Chen foresaw that his strength would undoubtedly experience another significant leap.

With this thought firm in his mind, Eldrin Chen decisively began refining Innate Primordial Qi [the purest form of primordial energy, the foundational essence of creation] to Ascension his True Spirit Treasure [a treasure that has developed its own spiritual consciousness], the Abyssal Seal.

As a True Spirit Treasure, the Abyssal Seal faced no possibility of failure in its Ascension process before reaching the stage of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Eldrin Chen successively fused thirty-six strands of Innate Primordial Qi into it, elevating it into a Six-Pattern Innate Supreme Treasure Embryo [an embryonic form of an Innate Supreme Treasure, marked by six primordial patterns].

Yet, at this very moment, Eldrin Chen suddenly halted, a trace of regret flickering across his expression.

For Eldrin Chen discovered that the material foundation of the Abyssal Seal seemed to have reached its limit, struggling to assimilate any further Innate Primordial Qi.

The reason for this lay in the overwhelming potency of the Abyssal Seal. Within its form now resided seventy-two Great Dao Divine Chains [cosmic bindings that manifest and enforce the fundamental laws of the Great Dao].

An ordinary Innate Supreme Treasure, in contrast, typically possessed only nine such Great Dao Divine Chains.

Although over the years, Eldrin Chen had infused the Abyssal Seal with twelve portions of high-grade Primordial Unity Spiritual Treasure [a rare spiritual material of unified primordial essence], greatly enhancing its material quality and latent potential, even this was insufficient.

Yet this exceeded the capacity of the Abyssal Seal by a staggering eightfold compared to the Great Dao Divine Chain [a divine chain embodying the principles of the Great Dao], far surpassing the current limits the Abyssal Seal could withstand.

If Eldrin Chen wished to continue integrating the Innate Primordial Qi [the primordial, uncreated spiritual energy of the cosmos], he would have to further enhance the material foundation of the Abyssal Seal.

However, the material quality of the Abyssal Seal had already reached the absolute pinnacle just below the level of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure [a treasure born from and embodying the essence of primordial Chaos].

To advance the Abyssal Seal any further, it would require fusing with divine materials of the Chaos Rare Treasure [an exceedingly rare treasure born from primordial Chaos, possessing miraculous properties] tier.

Moreover, a full twelve such portions would be needed to allow all twelve constituent treasures within the Abyssal Seal to complete their fusion.

It must be understood that divine materials of the Chaos Rare Treasure tier are supremely rare treasures of immense value, even to a Chaos Celestial Emperor.

The value of a single portion of a Chaos Rare Treasure is generally equivalent to that of an Innate Supreme Treasure, and such items are typically held in the hands of Chaos Celestial Emperor and Sage Ascendant [a cultivator who has ascended to the threshold of Sagehood].

If Eldrin Chen needed only one portion, it might be manageable. But he required a full twelve, and they had to be treasures with compatible elemental attributes. This difficulty was akin to scaling the heavens themselves.

"Only by participating in a Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly [a grand gathering for the exchange of rare treasures] at the Celestial Emperor level would there be any possibility of gathering these twelve portions of Chaos Rare Treasure."

"The Chaos Mud [a miraculous mud born from primordial Chaos] possesses extraordinary properties, allowing my Abyssal Seal to nurture more Chaos Divine Chains and wield power far surpassing other Spiritual Treasure of its rank. Yet, the cost it demands is truly staggering."

Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] inwardly sighed with a bitter smile, compelled to retract the Abyssal Seal [his signature magical treasure, a powerful seal artifact].

Of course, even though the Abyssal Seal had not undergone Ascension [the process of a treasure evolving to a higher grade] to become an Innate Supreme Treasure [a treasure born from the primal laws of heaven and earth], its might had still increased tremendously.

Following this latest Ascension, the power of the Abyssal Seal had doubled, granting it an overwhelming advantage against ordinary Innate Supreme Treasure.

According to Eldrin Chen's estimation, if the Abyssal Seal were to achieve Ascension and become a true Innate Supreme Treasure, its power would be twelve times that of a typical treasure of that grade, reaching a level comparable to a Chaos Spiritual Treasure [a treasure forged from the primordial essence of Chaos].

As Eldrin Chen understood it, a Chaos Spiritual Treasure possessed a single Chaos Great Dao Divine Form [a manifestation of a supreme law of Chaos], a divine form synthesized from the fusion of nine distinct Grand Dao Divine Form [manifestations of major cosmic laws].

The might of a Chaos Divine Form was approximately nine times greater than that of a Grand Dao Divine Form. Therefore, in terms of raw power alone, a Chaos Spiritual Treasure might not necessarily surpass a fully ascended Abyssal Seal at the Innate Supreme Treasure level.

However, Chaos Spiritual Treasure possessed far more profound and mystical properties, wielding the supreme Dao Authority [authority over a fundamental cosmic principle] inherent to the Chaos [the primordial, undifferentiated state before creation] realm. This represented a qualitative chasm separating it from an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Of course, even disregarding that qualitative gap, a mere ninefold difference in power would allow a Chaos Spiritual Treasure to effortlessly suppress an Innate Supreme Treasure.

A Chaos Spiritual Treasure suppressing an Innate Supreme Treasure was akin to an adult subduing a newborn infant—requiring but a tenth of its strength to achieve complete dominance.

It was precisely for this reason that, even though Eldrin Chen could not unleash the true divine wonders of the Void-Refining Vial [a specific Chaos Spiritual Treasure], merely channeling one-tenth of the Chaos Void-Refining Vial's power was sufficient to easily suppress a Great Emperor [a supreme cultivator at the peak of power].

"In the future, when my cultivation is sufficient, I must devise a plan to Ascension the Abyssal Seal [a legendary seal of immense power]."

Eldrin Chen's thoughts drifted, a profound intuition stirring within him. He felt that if one day he could Ascension the Abyssal Seal into an Innate Supreme Treasure [a treasure born from one's own Dao, possessing unparalleled might],

then, combined with the invincible combat prowess granted by the path of Sainthood through the Flesh [a cultivation method focusing on forging an indestructible physical body], he might perhaps defy the heavens and slay a Chaos Celestial Emperor [a supreme ruler born from primordial chaos] while still at the Sage Ascendant [a realm just below the Celestial Emperor] realm.

Since time immemorial, no one has ever succeeded in slaying a Chaos Celestial Emperor.

Even when the Ant Celestial Emperor [a legendary emperor who rose from humble origins] cultivated the Nine True Spirit Divine Forms [nine supreme divine transformations] and fused them into the Unique True Spirit Divine Form [a singular, ultimate divine form], he merely managed to escape from the grasp of the Kui Bull Celestial Emperor.

Although he later defeated the Kui Bull Celestial Emperor, that was only after he ventured into the Chaos Sea [the primordial sea of chaos at the beginning of creation] and seized that priceless Chaos Primordial Qi [the foundational energy of all creation], using it to break through to the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm.

If Eldrin Chen could accomplish such a feat, he would undoubtedly become a mythic figure within the Vast Chaotic Sea [the boundless expanse of the cosmos].

"Enough. Best not to dwell on such distant thoughts."

"The pressing matter now is to continue enhancing my combat strength and resolve the immediate threats before me."

With these thoughts swirling, Eldrin Chen settled his mind and resumed his secluded cultivation.

In the years that followed, Eldrin Chen continued to refine his path of cultivation. In his moments of leisure, he sought to master the Space-Time Divine Runes [divine runes that govern the fundamental laws of space and time], yet ultimately, Eldrin Chen met with failure.

The Space-Time Divine Runes [divine runes that govern the fundamental laws of space and time] proved worthy of their status as one of the four Ultimate Divine Rune. The greatest challenge in mastering this supreme rune was not the comprehension of the two Great Dao [the fundamental principles or paths of cosmic power], but the necessity of fusing them into a single, unified whole.

Among the myriad Chaos Great Dao [the primordial laws born from chaos], Time reigns as king, and Space stands as sovereign. Both can lead directly to the Third Chaos Realm, ranking among the most formidable of the Boundless Great Dao [limitless cosmic principles].

Such potent Great Dao [the fundamental principles or paths of cosmic power] possess an intensely exclusive nature.

Although Eldrin Chen's Reincarnation Body had cultivated both the Time Great Dao and the Space Great Dao, the two Great Dao [the fundamental principles or paths of cosmic power] remained distinct and independent, not yet fully merged.

For the fusion of the Time-Space Great Dao [the unified principle of time and space] presented a difficulty of truly monumental proportions.

The Time Great Dao and the Space Great Dao are each terrifyingly powerful in their own right. To fuse them into the Time-Space Great Dao [the unified principle of time and space] would undoubtedly bestow a peerless, epoch-shaking combat prowess.

If the Reincarnation Body could successfully merge the two Great Dao [the fundamental principles or paths of cosmic power], then with its current cultivation at the initial stage of the Sixth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord, it should be capable of challenging a Great Emperor [a supreme cultivator at the pinnacle of power].

This is because the Time-Space Great Dao [the unified principle of time and space] is a Primordial Great Dao [a fundamental law from the dawn of creation], transcending the Chaos Great Dao [the primordial laws born from chaos] of the Myriad Heavens and representing a qualitative leap in power.

In comparison, the Chaos Great Dao [the primordial laws born from chaos] that Eldrin Chen has mastered is the most accessible of the Primordial Great Dao [fundamental laws from the dawn of creation], and the power it unleashes is fundamentally tied to the cultivator's own foundational strength.

As for the Abyssal Great Dao [the supreme principle of the unfathomable void], Eldrin Chen had only grasped the merest surface understanding; his ability to cultivate the Abyssal Divine Rune [a divine sigil of the profound abyss] relied entirely on the assistance of the Abyssal Seal [a mystical seal embodying the power of the abyss].

In contrast, once the Time-Space Great Dao [the supreme principle governing time and space] was unified, it would instantly possess earth-shattering, heaven-overturning power, even capable of disregarding one's foundational cultivation and Eruption [unleashing] combat strength that surpassed one's inherent limits.

"Time cannot be touched; space is illusory and unfathomable."

"How, then, can these two supreme Great Dao [fundamental cosmic principles] be completely merged into one?"

Eldrin Chen murmured softly to himself, yet found he could not fuse the two Great Dao [fundamental cosmic principles] into one, ultimately forcing him to suppress this line of thought for the time being.

Unable to cultivate the Time-Space Great Dao [the supreme principle governing time and space], Eldrin Chen could only turn his focus to the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a cultivation method that empowers oneself through sacrificial offerings].

Spurred by Eldrin Chen's incentive plan, the Immortal [beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation] of the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a cultivation method that empowers oneself through sacrificial offerings] cultivated with a frenzied zeal.

Merely by the fifth Kalpa Tribulation [a cosmic cycle of immense duration, often billions of years] after his plan was implemented, three Immortal [beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation] who had cultivated the True Spirit Sacrificial Self Body [a profound body-forging art achieved through spirit sacrifice] emerged into the world.

Thereafter, these Immortal [beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation] cultivated madly using the resources provided by Eldrin Chen, breaking through realms continuously within a mere few dozen Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of immense duration, often billions of years]. In just sixty Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of immense duration, often billions of years], they had all broken through to the Great Luo Perfection [the pinnacle realm of the Great Luo stage].

This speed of cultivation was comparable to the direct disciples of a Dao Ancestor Immortal Sage [a supreme sage who has comprehended the origin of the Dao], filling countless other Immortal [beings who have achieved immortality through cultivation] with envy.

And as the thirty-sixth Path of Self-Sacrifice Great Luo Golden Immortal Great Perfection appeared, the Path of Self-Sacrifice finally completed its metamorphosis, transforming into a Perfect Innate Great Dao [a supreme cultivation path that is inherently flawless and complete].

"It is done."

After the Path of Self-Sacrifice completed its transformation, it gave birth to four Grand Dao Divine Form [divine manifestations of a supreme cultivation path's power], which were the Sacrificial Self True Body [a divine form where one sacrifices the self to achieve ultimate power], the Primordial Unity Immortal Domain [a divine realm of primordial oneness], the Ten Great Immortal Treasuries [a divine ability manifesting ten supreme immortal treasuries], and the Ten Great Immortal Treasury Treasures [the divine treasures contained within the Ten Great Immortal Treasuries].

Witnessing the Path of Self-Sacrifice reach its state of perfect completion, Eldrin Chen could not help but let a smile touch his lips.

He slowly activated the Path of Self-Sacrifice. Immediately, the Grand Dao Divine Form manifested behind his head, revealing the four divine forms: the Sacrificial Self True Body, the Primordial Unity Immortal Domain, the Ten Great Immortal Treasuries, and the Ten Great Immortal Treasury Treasures.

Instantly, Eldrin Chen felt his power surge explosively. This newfound strength even surpassed his physical combat prowess, firmly propelling him into the realm of the Sage Ascendant [a supreme realm where one ascends to sagehood].

"Four Grand Dao Divine Form."

"From this day forth, I too may be called Eldrin, the Sage Ascendant."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly. His brow furrowed briefly before smoothing out, replaced by a serene smile.

A Perfect Innate Great Dao with only four Grand Dao Divine Form was considered a relatively weak Primordial Great Dao [an ancient and fundamental supreme cultivation path] within the Sage Ascendant domain.

However, the Path of Self-Sacrifice [a profound cultivation art focused on selfless devotion] had, after all, only recently undergone its Ascension [a qualitative evolution to a higher state of being]. Possessing power only at this current level was well within Eldrin Chen's expectations.

According to Eldrin Chen's calculations, as the number of Grand Luo Golden Immortals [supreme immortal beings] within the Path of Self-Sacrifice increased, the art itself would be refined and perfected. Consequently, the number of Grand Dao Divine Forms [divine manifestations of a Great Dao] it could manifest would also gradually multiply.

Until one day, when the Path of Self-Sacrifice contained three thousand Grand Luo Golden Immortals, surpassed thirty-six Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarchs [emperor-level beings born from primordial chaos], and possessed nine Great Emperors [supreme sovereigns of cultivation].

At that point, the power of the Path of Self-Sacrifice would surge dramatically, directly undergoing Ascension to become a perfected Great Dao [the fundamental principle of existence] capable of manifesting nine Grand Dao Divine Forms.

And at that stage, the Path of Self-Sacrifice would reach a bottleneck.

To advance further, Eldrin Chen would either need to refine Chaos Primordial Qi [the primordial breath of chaos] to directly elevate it into a Chaos Great Dao [a Great Dao born from chaos].

Or, Eldrin Chen would have to continue perfecting the Path of Self-Sacrifice, creating a method to cultivate ten major True Spirit Immortal Treasuries [immortal treasuries of the true spirit].

If he could create a method to cultivate ten major True Spirit Immortal Treasuries, the Path of Self-Sacrifice would directly transform into a Boundless Great Dao [the original, limitless Great Dao], giving birth to an even greater number of Grand Dao Divine Forms.

It must be understood that an ordinary Perfect Innate Great Dao [a perfected Great Dao innate to one's being] could, at most, cultivate nine Grand Dao Divine Forms; upon stepping into the Chaos Realm [the realm of primordial chaos], it would possess only one Chaos Divine Form [a divine manifestation of chaos].

Yet, the Boundless Great Dao could surpass nine Grand Dao Divine Forms.

For example, Eldrin Chen's Mixed Metal Great Dao possesses eighteen Grand Dao Divine Forms [divine manifestations of a Great Dao], while his Source Earth Great Dao also commands eighteen such Grand Dao Divine Forms.

The Profound Nether Great Dao holds twenty Grand Dao Divine Forms, the Life Great Dao commands twenty-four, and the Pure Yang Great Dao boasts a staggering twenty-six Grand Dao Divine Forms.

Supreme Daos like the Time Great Dao, which belongs to the category of Chaos Boundless Great Dao [Great Daos of Chaos that transcend all inherent limits], are truly heaven-defying. This dao possesses twelve Chaos Divine Forms [divine manifestations born from the fusion of multiple Primordial Great Daos].

Each single Chaos Divine Form is forged from the fusion of nine Primordial Great Dao [the fundamental, indivisible Great Daos] divine forms. This means the Time Great Dao encompasses a total of one hundred and eight Primordial Great Dao divine forms.

The reason Boundless Great Dao [Great Daos that transcend the inherent nine-form limit of Primordial Daos] are considered so peerless is precisely their ability to shatter the inherent limit of nine Grand Dao Divine Forms possessed by a Primordial Great Dao. This grants them vastly greater potential, earning them the title of Boundless Great Dao.

It is said that to break through to the Second Chaos Realm, one must master three distinct Chaos Great Dao [Great Daos born from Chaos] and fuse them together. This fusion creates a single, unified Chaos Great Dao that possesses three Chaos Divine Forms.

It is for this very reason that the Second Chaos Realm is also known as the Dao Union Realm [the Realm of Dao Fusion].

By comparison, each of the five Great Dao cultivated by Eldrin Chen already exceeds the threshold of nine Grand Dao Divine Forms.

Once they ascend to the level of Chaos Great Dao, each of these five Great Dao will possess at least two Chaos Divine Forms.

This is especially true for his Pure Yang Great Dao, which already commands twenty-six Grand Dao Divine Forms. Were it to gain just one more, it might very well ascend directly to the heavens in a single step, immediately reaching the Second Chaos Realm.

"The Boundless Great Dao holds limitless potential."

Eldrin Chen murmured softly, his gaze resolute as he declared, "For the Path of Self-Sacrifice to achieve greater heights, it must one day step into the domain of the Boundless Great Dao."

With this thought, Eldrin Chen slowly reined in his contemplations, pressing down all stray notions, and then turned his senses inward to gauge his current combat prowess.

Upon reflection, he discovered that after merging the Path of Self-Sacrifice with his physical combat strength, his ultimate battle power had risen by a significant degree.

With such might, though he might not yet rival the Kirin Ancient Ancestor, he should now be comparable to a top-tier Sage Ascendant who possesses eight Grand Dao Divine Form.

Furthermore, while the current Eldrin Chen could not yet unleash the full unique properties of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, he was already capable of wielding the majority of the Chaos Void-Refining Vial's power.

Eldrin Chen tested its activation and found that once he channeled the Chaos Void-Refining Vial, suppressing one or two Sage Ascendant should be well within his grasp.

Bolstered by this confidence, a measure of calm settled within Eldrin Chen's heart.

Yet, he still refrained from immediate action. To prevent any chance of the two targets escaping, he decided to wait for the Indestructible Elder to emerge from seclusion, ensuring absolute certainty of success.

"While Senior Imperishable has not yet emerged, I should make further preparations."

Eldrin Chen's thoughts flickered. He then ceased his secluded cultivation and retrieved the Sage Ascendant Dragon Pearl and the Chaos Origin [a primordial substance embodying the essence of chaos].

For many years since obtaining these treasures, Eldrin Chen had refrained from refining them into the Chaos Treasure Pills [supreme elixirs forged from chaos-aligned treasures]. The reason was his insufficient cultivation base; he lacked the confidence to ensure a successful refinement.

Now, with his cultivation having surged significantly, it was finally time for Eldrin Chen to light the furnace and commence the alchemical process.

Eldrin Chen then took out the Creation Cauldron. He channeled the boundless power of the Great Dao [the supreme, fundamental principle of existence] from his Path of Self-Sacrifice and began refining the Sage Ascendant Dragon Pearl and the Chaos Origin.

To enhance the medicinal potency of the elixir, Eldrin Chen even added a Great Wilderness Sacred Fruit, an Earth Soul Sacred Fruit, and also an Enlightenment Sacred Fruit.

This single furnace of immortal pills, refined from a total of five supreme treasures, consumed an entire Kalpa Tribulation [an immense cosmic cycle spanning billions of years] before it was successfully completed.

"Boom—"

On this day, a violent thunderclap erupted.

From within the Creation Cauldron flew nine radiant, golden Chaos Treasure Pills. Each pill emanated an eternal Chaos Light [a primordial radiance born from chaos].

"Success."

Gazing upon the nine Immortal Pills [pills of supreme efficacy used by immortals for cultivation breakthroughs] before him, Eldrin Chen could not help but feel a surge of elation.

He discerned that these nine pills contained boundless medicinal potency. Consuming just one would likely increase one's chances of a breakthrough to the Great Emperor [the pinnacle realm of an emperor-level cultivator] by approximately thirty percent.

Although this probability was notably less than the fifty percent chance offered by the Sage Ascendant Dragon Pearl [a legendary pearl that aids in ascension to sagehood] or the Chaos Origin [a primordial object containing the essence of chaos], their advantage lay in their far greater quantity.

In Eldrin Chen's estimation, trading two treasures that offered a fifty percent chance and three that offered a ten percent chance for nine pills each offering a thirty percent chance was an entirely favorable exchange.

After all, among the nine Eighth Layer of Primordial Unity Emperor Lord [the eighth stage of the Primordial Unity Emperor Lord realm] under his command, both Three Talents and Four Symbols Emperor Lord and the others were born from Primordial Chaos Spiritual Root [a spiritual root of the highest order, born from primordial chaos].

They inherently possessed the potential to reach Great Emperor. Consuming one of these pills would virtually guarantee their breakthrough.

As for Liora, the Emperor Lord and Sword Profound Emperor Lord, their foundations were of the Three True Spirit Foundations [a foundation built upon three true spiritual cores] and Four True Spirit Foundation [a foundation built upon four true spiritual cores] respectively. With such profound foundational cultivation, they would inevitably break through to the Great Emperor Realm even without the aid of pills.

For these two, taking the pills should ensure their ascension to the Great Emperor Realm without any unforeseen complications.

With this understanding settled in his heart, Eldrin Chen immediately summoned the nine individuals. A faint smile graced his lips as he inquired,

"How has your cultivation progressed in recent years?"
