Chapter 1875 : Marsh of Chaotic Abyss
As a fragment of a primordial realm, the Ancient Immortal Ruins Continent could truly be described as boundless and vast.
This place was not only tens of thousands of times larger than the Qingcang Immortal Realm, but its spatial fabric was also far more stable. Apart from specialized spatial supernatural abilities, even an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal would be unable to tear through the void and travel here.
The party of 8 soared ceaselessly across the heavens and earth, systematically plundering the forbidden realms and Great Luo earth veins of the Ancient Immortal Ruins Continent.
Within the Great Immortal Ruins Continent, the Da Luo earth veins were nearly all legacy sites left behind by the Golden Immortals of the Primordial Immortal Realm. Although their treasures had long been plundered, every kalpa cycle still gave birth to rare Da Luo wonders.
Thus, the group journeyed onward, successively conquering 2 more fragmented Great Luo earth veins and obtaining 3 portions of Great Luo marvels. It could truly be said that their expedition had been richly rewarding.
Even a damaged Great Luo earth vein held little deterrence for the 8 of them, and the treasures they obtained could not significantly enhance their strength.
Thus, without even realizing it, they journeyed through the Ancient Immortal Ruins Continent for several 100 years, until they finally came to a halt before a vast and boundless marshland.
"It is the Great Swamp of Chaotic Ruins."
Gazing at the marshland before him, a faint wrinkle formed between Eldrin's brows as a trace of astonishment flickered across his expression.
Eldrin’s eyes flickered with a trace of surprise at the words, yet a hint of delight also surfaced. In this vast expanse of the Ancient Immortal Ruins, the remnants of Great Luo Dao Fields numbered in the thousands.
However, the vast majority of these Dao sites were incomplete, and the opportunities contained within could not be considered particularly astonishing.
Yet a select few Great Dao sanctums still preserve complete Great Dao earth veins. Through the transformative methods of various Dao Ancestors, Immortal Sages, and Primordial Chaos Emperors, these have been refined into exceptionally rare cultivation paradises.
For instance, this Primordial Chaos Marsh is 1 of them.
Legend has it that this Primordial Chaos Marsh was once the sacred abode of the Primordial Chaos Ancestor, a supreme innate deity from the Primordial Domain of the Immortal Cosmos, whose cultivation was merely A Step Away (Time & Distance) from the Chaos Origin Emperor.
Later, when the Primordial Immortal Realm shattered, the sacred ground that had nurtured the Ancestor of Primordial Chaos was refined by several Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages, transforming into a single Primordial Chaos Immortal Pond.
The Primordial Chaos Immortal Pond could give birth to the divine treasure 'Primordial Chaos Divine Liquid'. This substance could significantly enhance the foundation of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal. An ordinary 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal who refined it would have a 1 100 percent certainty of cultivating a 10-Limit Body.
A being who has already cultivated a 10-Limit Physique can greatly enhance their foundation by training within it, increasing their chances of breaking through to the Indestructible Body by at least 30 percent.
Even for a prodigious talent who has already cultivated an indestructible body, refining this Primordial Chaos Divine Elixir can still enhance their foundational reserves. While it may not guarantee the attainment of a True Spirit Body, it can still augment 1’s physical strength by 10 percent.
1 must understand that those who have cultivated the Indestructible Body are all exceptional talents without exception. Such individuals have nearly reached the pinnacle where no further progress seems possible. Without extraordinary serendipity, advancing even a single step further would be virtually unattainable.
Under such circumstances, it could still enhance 1's physical strength by 10 percent—a testament to the astounding power of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Pond.
Of course, there were limitations to this Chaotic Void Godliquid. Primarily, an Ancient Immortal could only refine it once in their lifetime; a second attempt would yield virtually no effect.
Moreover, the Chaos Void Divine Liquid was exceedingly difficult to nurture. The amount accumulated over the span of a kalpa could only suffice for 9 Ancient Immortals.
At this thought, Eldrin glanced at the others and noticed their eyes gleaming with temptation.
The Sky-Sundering Demon Emperor was rather intrigued by this prospect and declared without hesitation, "The Primordial Chaos Immortal Pond is crucial to my cultivation of the Indestructible Body. I intend to claim it."
Youwu also nodded slightly, her eyes glimmering with a faint light. "A Great Luo Dao Field of the Mixed Ruins Great Marsh's caliber is exceptionally rare even within the Ancient Immortal Ruins Continent."
"Here lies a domain left by various Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages, capable of capturing the residual souls and lingering resentment of Eighth Calamity Ancient Immortals who have fallen here throughout countless kalpas. These have coalesced into numerous incomparably powerful Primordial Evil Spirits."
"Even with our strength, I'm afraid it would require no small effort to bring it down."
Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this.
He understood that these primordial malevolent spirits were, in essence, trials left behind by the 7 Celestial Emperors, Divine Sovereigns, and the great Da Luo Celestial Lords.
To subdue these primordial ferocious spirits is to prove your qualification to cultivate within the Chaos Immortal Pond. In truth, the countless forbidden realms and Great Luo earth veins across the Immortal Ruins Ancient Land all serve as whetstones for their tempering.
Should they succeed, it would significantly enhance their chances of attaining the Great Perfection of the Dao.
Should they fail, they would perish within, their lingering souls transforming into new undying malevolent spirits, becoming whetstones for those who follow.
At this thought, Eldrin did not act rashly. After observing the Chaotic Abyssal Marsh for a long while, he finally spoke: "The number of undying evil spirits here is countless, but those above the Ancient Immortal realm are not many."
In life, there were approximately 30-some individuals who had attained the cultivation level of 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals. However, as they were merely manifestations of remnant souls, their strength paled in comparison to that of true 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals.
"However, this area has a peculiar field. Once we step inside, we'll likely be suppressed while our opponents receive enhancements. With such imbalance between buffs and debuffs, it would indeed require some effort if a real fight breaks out—but nothing more than that."
Eldrin murmured softly under his breath. After assessing their chances, he concluded their strength gave them overwhelming odds of success. Without hesitation, he declared, "No need for further delay. Let us strike now."
As the words faded, Eldrin was the first to tear through the sky, charging straight into the heart of the Chaotic Abyssal Marsh.
As he stepped inside, the Primordial Chaos Marsh instantly erupted with ghastly wails and demonic howls. Countless vengeful spirits and undying malevolent entities roared into the sky, unleashing an aura capable of throwing heaven and earth into chaos.
Eldrin gripped the Chaos Heavenly Halberd, clashing with 1 of the Undying Evil Spirits. In the blink of an eye, he parried the coordinated assaults of several more, a flicker of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
In that moment, Eldrin seemed to glimpse, 1 after another, figures of unparalleled elegance and grace.
Among these undying malevolent spirits were peerless fairies of breathtaking elegance, sword immortals robed in snow-white garments, and supreme deities wielding heaven-disordering giant axes.
Each of them was a peerless prodigy of yore, most having once been supreme existences at the level of 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals. Yet they met their end in the Cosmic Tribulation, slain by formidable foes within the Primordial Chaos Abyss.
After his fall, his remnant soul was trapped here, transformed into an undying evil spirit filled with boundless resentment, seemingly still intent on waging that endless battle.
Clang—
In an instant, a dazzling sword radiance pierced through, blossoming into immortal light of slaughter as it sought to sever Eldrin between heaven and earth.
Massive axes, ancient bells, and celestial pagodas descended 1 after another to suppress him, each strike capable of annihilating a 7-tribulation ancient immortal with ease. Yet Eldrin showed no fear in the face of it all.
He brandished the Chaos Heavenly Halberd, its might shaking the 8 directions. He shattered immortal swords, crushed giant axes, obliterated ancient bells, and with a single fist, pulverized a celestial pagoda.
"You are but a group of failures, mere 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals in your former lives. Now that you have fallen, how could you possibly defy the heavens?"
"This day, I shall deliver you all unto rebirth."
Eldrin struck with chilling indifference, each blow erupting with divine power capable of shattering primordial chaos, annihilating 1 unkillable fiend after another within the turbulent void.
The great war raged on for over a 100 years. Eldrin single-handedly confronted a dozen or so Undying Malignant Spirits, ultimately eradicating every last 1 of them.
The others did not disappoint, with nearly every 1 of them slaying 2 or 3 Undying Malevolents, cleansing the miasma-haunted marshes of vengeful spirits.
It is done.
Having purged the Undying Malevolent Spirits, the Heaven-Rending Demon Emperor finally let out a sigh of relief. His gaze then fell upon the Chaotic Abyssal Marsh before him, and a faint smile graced his lips.
He turned his gaze toward Eldrin, about to speak, when he noticed a trace of solemnity flicker across Eldrin's expression.
At this moment, Eldrin gazed into the depths of the void and spoke, "Friend, since you've already arrived, show yourself."
"It seems we have arrived not a moment too late."
Deep within the void, a dozen or so figures emerged 1 after another, led by a handsome youth clad in black robes.
Eldrin (Person Name) looked up, a trace of surprise in his eyes as he spoke, "Zhuyin?"
"It is I."
Zhu Yin stood with his hands clasped behind his back, speaking in a tranquil tone.
He cast a careful glance at Eldrin, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes as he remarked, "Your aura feels vaguely familiar to me, yet I cannot recall ever crossing paths with you. Have our fates intertwined before?"
Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly as he recalled the Soaring Immortal Zither, then remarked, "We did cross paths once."
As he spoke, he lifted his gaze to the crowd beside Zhuyin, a trace of solemnity unconsciously flickering in his eyes.
Zhu Yin had not brought any low-level Ancient Immortals or Celestial Immortals for support. By his side stood a total of 17 individuals, all prodigious dragons at the Eighth Calamity Realm of Ancient Immortals.
Youwu noticed his expression and quickly transmitted her voice, "This Zhuyin is an invincible figure among the 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals. He has swept through dozens of kalpic tribulations undefeated. Had it not been for his pursuit of establishing a True Spiritual Root foundation, he would have long broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."
He had no need for assistance from ordinary Celestial Immortals or Ancient Immortals, yet the strength of these 8-calamity Ancient Immortals of the dragon clan could not be underestimated either.
"Most crucially, 3 individuals possess extraordinary strength and must be watched closely."
As Yōuwú recounted the tale, Eldrin soon grasped the formidable strength of the powerhouse behind Zhuyin.
Behind Zhuyin stood a total of 17 Dragon Imperial Scions, each 1 a prodigious genius of the true dragon bloodline.
These 8-tribulation ancient dragons of the dragon clan were divided into the 9 Primordial Dragons, Pixiu, Bixie, and other dragon lineages. Each possessed heaven-defying talent, yet in Eldrin's eyes, they were merely mediocre—only 3 warranted slight attention.
The 3 were respectively the Bixia Imperial Son, the Imperial Son 'Ao Qing' of the Ancient Azure Dragon lineage, and the Imperial Son 'Ao Huang' of the 'Ancient Desolate Dragon' clan.
Among these 3, the Bixie Imperial Son had cultivated an Indestructible Primordial Spirit, 'Ao Qing' had achieved an Indestructible Body and the Dao of Indestructibility, while the Primordial Ancient Dragon 'Ao Huang' had also forged an Indestructible Body.
Eldrin nodded slightly. Among the 3 prodigious dragon descendants, the Bixian Imperial Son possessed the weakest cultivation base, yet he still marginally surpassed the Fallen Abyssal Prison in strength.
Ao Qing, a direct descendant of the Ancient Azure Dragon—1 of the 9 Primordial Dragons—had forged dual Indestructible Foundations. Combined with his cultivation at the 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal realm, his combat prowess rivaled even that of the Son of the Vaulted Heaven Emperor.
Ao Huang was the most unique, as he possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Desolate Dragon lineage.
The Primordial Desolate Dragon was not 1 of the Primordial 9 Dragons, yet it was hailed as the Tenth Dragon of the Primordial Era. This lineage possessed an exceedingly feeble primordial spirit and spiritual power, making it fundamentally impossible to shatter the Great Luo Heavenly Barrier.
In truth, Ao Huang had only shattered the 4 great heavenly barriers of physical body, Dao Heart, supernatural powers, and numinous treasures. The remaining 4 great heavenly barriers remained unbroken by him.
Yet even so, Ao Huang already possessed combat prowess comparable to an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal, and among those of his caliber, he was considered exceptionally formidable.
His physical body had nearly approached the realm of True Spirit, requiring only half a step further to cultivate the foundation of a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root). Combined with the innate bloodline treasure arts of the Primordial Ancient Dragon Clan, he could unleash combat prowess surpassing that of ordinary 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals.
At this thought, Eldrin turned to the others and declared, "Hold them off while I suppress the Candle Shadow. I shall lend you my aid once it is subdued."
Everyone’s expressions grew solemn at these words. Taking a deep breath, Youwu said, "It all depends on you now."
At the same time, Zhuyin let out a cold sneer before speaking, "Whether we know each other or not holds no meaning anymore."
"The Tribulation War knows only advance, never retreat."
"Slaying you all today shall perfectly aid this venerable 1 in forging the True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation."
As the words fell, Zhuyin instantly made his move. Gripping a Chaos Divine Spear, he tore through the air, thrusting straight toward Eldrin (Person Name).
Eldrin did not hesitate either. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder to strike horizontally, deflecting the Innate Spiritual Treasure spear in a single blow. He then engaged in a fierce confrontation with Zhuyin.
Primordial Chaos-level Divine Art.
The 2 exchanged over a dozen moves in rapid succession. The Candleflame Yin’s eyes emitted an uncanny light as it declared, “At least 4 or 5 types of Indestructible Foundations. I have dominated through 30-3 kalpas, yet never have I encountered an opponent such as you.”
"It seems that by slaying you, I may just have a chance to cultivate a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation."
At these words, Zhuyin's fighting spirit surged even more intensely, his face revealing incomparable delight.
At this moment, fearing Eldrin (Person Name) might escape, he actually summoned an innate spiritual treasure of spatial attributes—the Taihuan Tower—to suppress the vast expanse of the Mixed Abyss Great Marsh.
"Heh, it's still anyone's game who will emerge victorious."
Eldrin let out a cold sneer. The Candle Dragon had set its sights on his Dao Origin, yet it never realized that Eldrin had long coveted its own Dao Origin as well.
Both sides were determined to slay the other, and so they began to gradually unleash their full power in battle. Thus erupted a clash between Eighth Tribulation Ancient Immortals, a struggle at the very pinnacle of strength.
Meanwhile, the others had also erupted into a fierce battle.
The Shadow Phoenix intercepted Ao Qing, while the Samsara Incarnation single-handedly held off the combined assault of Ao Huang and the Pixiu Imperial Scion. Both Lyra (Person Name) and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) had engaged 2 or 3 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals each, keeping the battle well within manageable bounds.
However, the Primordial Ice Phoenix, the Primordial Chaos Black Dragon, and the Sky-Rending Demon Emperor were all besieged as well, quickly falling into a disadvantageous position. It seemed they might not be able to hold out much longer.
"It seems I can no longer hold back."
Seeing the enemy's superior numbers, Eldrin immediately abandoned all concealment and decisively unleashed his ultimate combat prowess.
In an instant, Eldrin channeled all his primordial spirit energy, summoning a strike of Chaos Divine Thunder that descended with overwhelming divine power toward Zhuyin.
"Damn it!"
At the critical moment, Zhu Yin sensed the impending danger and immediately summoned his Primordial Divine Spear to block. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he was sent flying, blood spraying from his wounds.
Empowered by his True Spirit Divine Soul, the mixed-origin divine ability instantly sent the Candle Yin reeling and spitting blood.
True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) Foundation?
At that moment, Zhuyin's expression abruptly shifted.
He had cultivated the Indestructible Dragon Body, the Eternal Primordial Spirit, and the Immortal Arcane Power, along with multiple 10-Limit Foundations. Though confident in his peerless combat prowess among those of the same realm, he dared not claim he could contend against a True Spiritual Root foundation.
At this moment, witnessing Eldrin reveal his True Spiritual Root, he immediately abandoned all restraint and brought out his ultimate trump card.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, 7 somber luminous pearls erupted from Zhuyin’s crown, soaring across the sky with a divine might capable of suppressing all existence, and hurled straight toward Eldrin.
"So what if you have a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)? How will you withstand my '7 Stars Turbid Mire Grand Array (Formation)'?"
The moment his Life-Bound Array Artifact was unleashed, Zhuyin let out a cold, mocking laugh.
This 7 Stars Turbid Miasma Grand Formation was Zhuyin's ultimate trump card, composed of 7 innate spiritual treasures combined as 1, possessing the divine power to suppress the primordial chaos of heaven and earth.
Without this 7 Stars Turbid Miasma Grand Formation, his combat power could at most contend with 3 or 4 Eighth Tribulation Ancient Immortals. Yet armed with this formation, Zhuyin grew confident that he could suppress 7 or 8 ordinary Eighth Tribulation Ancient Immortals joining forces.
"Perfect timing."
Yet in that very instant, Eldrin let out a cold sneer.
With a mere flick of his sleeve, a colossal hand of primordial chaos materialized across the heavens, firmly suppressing the 7-Star Turbid Malice Formation. Despite the desperate struggles of the 7 innate spiritual treasures, none could break free from its grasp.
"Impossible."
At this moment, a look of utter despair flashed in Zhu Yin’s eyes as he exclaimed in disbelief, “True Spirit Art, dual True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundations—how is this even possible?”
"You should know, beneath the True Spirit realm, all are but ants."
Eldrin spoke with serene detachment. In a single fluid step, he unleashed a palm strike that sent Zhuyin hurtling through the air, painting the wind with trails of crimson.
Zhu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, his face contorted in utter astonishment. A Dual True Spiritual Root foundation—how formidable! Throughout the entire 3 1000 Immortal Domains, such individuals emerged only once every several dozen billion years on average.
Even the Golden Crow Little Emperor had only cultivated a single True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation. It was only by relying on his innate array artifact that he barely possessed combat power equivalent to dual True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundations.
At this moment, witnessing Eldrin reveal 2 True Spiritual Roots, the Candle Shadow’s face turned deathly pale. Yet, in the very next instant, an expression of pleasant surprise surfaced as he exclaimed,
"Wrong. You have not attained the Dao Fruit, nor have you broken through the Lingbao Heavenly Barrier. I am not without the power to fight you."
As the words fell, Zhuyin immediately activated his divine protective shield at the Patriarch-level. With a sweep of his sleeve, he summoned the 2 innate spiritual treasures—the Chaos Divine Spear and the Taihuan Pagoda—intending to forcibly reclaim the 7-Star Turbid Malice Pearl.
In his view, as long as he could reclaim the 7 Stars Turbid Miasma Pearl, he would at least retain some capacity to fight in this battle.
But in that very instant, a precious pearl soared above Eldrin’s head, blocking the Taihuan Pagoda, while an ancient zither of primordial origin intercepted the Chaos Divine Spear.
"Flying Immortal Zither, it's you!"
The moment Zhuyin laid eyes on the Feixian Qin, an expression of utter astonishment crossed its face. A flicker of fury surfaced in its gaze, yet it was tinged with despair.
"While shock and fury surged within him, he knew he couldn't reclaim the 7 Stars Turbid Miasma Pearl alone. Without hesitation, he called out, 'Everyone, lend me your strength at once!'"
As the words fell, 7 or 8 of the 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals besieging the crowd immediately disengaged, preparing to assist Zhuyin in encircling Eldrin (Person Name).
"Now!"
But in that very instant, a cold gleam flashed within Eldrin's pupils.
In an instant, an intangible, formless sword aura tore through the void and struck Candle Yin’s protective divine ability.
The Cosmic Infinity Sword proved worthy of its Primordial Chaos-level divine power, instantly piercing through Zhuo Yin's protective energy and tearing a gaping wound in his physical form.
"What a pity!"
Yet in that very instant, Eldrin's brow furrowed slightly, a trace of regret flickering across his face.
"Ah—"
Zhulongzi let out a piercing shriek as a blinding spiritual light erupted from within him, unexpectedly enveloping his form and vanishing from the mortal realm.
At the same time, the 7 Stars Turbid Mire Pearl, which had been suppressed by the Primordial Chaos Qi Grasping Hand, suddenly erupted with several times its original power, abruptly breaking free from its restraints and vanishing between heaven and earth.
"Is this the Emperor of Heaven's contingency plan?"
After Eldrin departed, a faint furrow appeared between his brows, his expression tinged with solemnity.
In that fleeting moment, the Boundless Cosmos Sword had already slain Zhuyin. Yet within its body lay a peculiar forbidden mechanism, allowing it to cheat death once at the critical juncture.
At this thought, Eldrin withdrew his gaze and turned to the 7 8-tribulation ancient immortals who had just gathered nearby.
"Everyone, your timing is impeccable."
Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly and immediately summoned the Primordial Chaos Sword of the Boundless Cosmos (Magic Treasure) through the air. In an instant, he decapitated an 8-Tribulations Ancient Immortal (Cultivation Realm).
In an instant, the ancient dragon immortals present scattered in utter terror, fleeing into the distant void.
Eldrin led the party in relentless pursuit, and only after 7 more 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals had been slain did the battle finally draw to a close.
After the great battle concluded, everyone returned to the Marsh of Chaotic Ruins.
That Yōu Wú shot a glance at Eldrin, her voice laced with profound trepidation as she said, "Your Cosmic Infinity Sword truly lives up to its reputation as a Primordial Chaos-level divine ability. It is far too fearsome."
Eldrin maintained a stoic expression, yet a glimmer of understanding dawned within him.
This battle had allowed him to gauge the formidable power of the Universe-Infinite Sword. While it might not be the most destructive among Chaos-level divine abilities, the Universe-Infinite Sword was undoubtedly the most feared 1.
This divine ability was formless and intangible, making it exceptionally difficult to guard against. Even an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal, if caught off guard by a sneak attack, could be instantly slain.
Even a supreme Ancient Immortal who had cultivated an Indestructible Foundation would be severely wounded or even slain in an instant if they did not proceed with utmost caution.
Just like Zhu Yin, whose divine soul was pierced through in a moment of inadvertence. Had it not been for some hidden trump card within his soul, he would have almost undergone immediate corporeal dissipation.
At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but ask, "How did this Zhuyin manage to preserve its life?"
A faint crease appeared between Youwu’s brows before she spoke. “That is the Mark of Immortality—a trace of the Great Dao of Immortality left within him by an Imperial Sovereign who cultivates the Path of Eternal Life.”
"However, although the Path of Undying could cheat death, given Zhuyin's cultivation level, he could only bear 1 such technique."
"The next time you cross blades, you may attempt to strike him down."
Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this and said, "If we kill him, could it bring trouble upon us?"
"Not a chance."
Youwu spoke, then continued, "Each time the Primordial Emperor enters seclusion, it often spans several kalpas. To the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, descendants like Zhuyin are at least several 100 in number, hardly worthy of their attention."
"Unless Candleblaze could attain the realm of Primordial Chaos Emperor, he wouldn't be worthy of drawing the attention of the Candle Dragon Celestial Emperor."
Eldrin nodded at last, letting out a slight sigh of relief, yet he couldn’t help shaking his head with a wry smile.
The struggle of the Heavenly Tribulation has always been a contest among the younger generation. Each cycle witnesses the fall of over a 100 million 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals. If all factions were to truly settle accounts, they would fight until their brains were splattered across the heavens.
After all, when you truly consider it, which of the Great Luo Golden Immortals from the ancient sects did not rise to prominence by staining their hands with the blood of countless formidable foes?
At this thought, Eldrin retrieved several strands of Dao Source from his sleeve and remarked, "Having defeated the prodigies of the dragon race and seized the Primordial Chaos Great Marsh in this battle, it seems we may advance yet another step further." (End of Chapter)
