Chapter 1876 : Epoch Vendetta

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled faintly.

In this battle, they slew 8 Dragon Clan prodigies of imperial lineage, and the rare treasures and artifacts they seized could only be described as staggering.

There were a full 8 sources of the 8 Calamities Dao alone, along with over a dozen Great Luo rare treasures, each 1 an exceptionally rare and peerless marvel.

Of course, what stirred Eldrin's heart most were the Primordial Desolation Dragon and the Dao Origin of the Bixi Imperial Son.

Both were prodigies who had forged an indestructible foundation. Had this kalpic tribulation not been so terrifyingly severe, in any previous era they would have qualified to become protagonists of calamity on par with the likes of Eldrin (Person Name).

At this thought, Eldrin smiled and said, "Such a person should have had every chance of attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. It's a pity they crossed paths with us."

Eldrin spoke in this manner, then said aloud: "Let us divide the treasures. Afterward, we shall remain in seclusion within the Primordial Chaos Immortal Pond to see if we can achieve a breakthrough in our cultivation."

Hearing this, everyone immediately began tallying the gains from this battle.

From this battle, they seized 8 Dao Origins along with 13 Great Luo treasures.

For Eldrin (Person Name), most of these treasures held little practical value. After pondering at length, he ultimately selected the Dao Origin of the Primordial Desolate Dragon and acquired 2 portions of Great Luo Odd Treasures.

1 Great Luo treasure was the Profound Yin Cold Marrow, while the other was the Profound Gold Jade Marrow.

The others also received 1 or 2 Great Luo Odd Treasures and Dao Origins each, their faces instantly lighting up with ecstasy.

After the treasures had been divided, Eldrin sought out the Skyrend Demon Emperor and exchanged the Profound Gold Jade Marrow for that Crimson Li Fire Jade.

Watching him acquire the Crimson Li Fire Jade, Lyra (Person Name) remarked thoughtfully, "Are you planning to restore that Yin-Yang Myriad Crow Vessel?"

"Mm." Eldrin nodded, his gaze turning solemn as he spoke, "With this Crimson Li Fire Jade, combined with the Profound Yin Cold Marrow, I now have some confidence in restoring the Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Vessel."

Lyra nodded upon hearing this and said, "Ao Hong still lacks a Primordial Spirit Treasure. It seems to me this artifact would be quite suitable."

Eldrin smiled faintly without another word, merely leading the group toward the Chaotic Abyss Marsh.

They journeyed all the way to the heart of the Primordial Chaos Marsh, where they discovered an ancient pool of unfathomable depth. Its waters flowed with the qi of chaos and destruction, each wisp and strand seemingly capable of grinding all heavens to dust, yet simultaneously possessing an indestructible divinity.

"Be cautious. The waters of the Mixed Ruins Immortal Pond are exceptionally potent—refine them with patience, not haste."

Youwu gazed upon the Primordial Abyss Immortal Pond, a trace of solemnity involuntarily emerging between his brows.

She informed everyone that although the Chaos Void Divine Liquid possessed boundless miraculous effects, it was also exceedingly potent. If 1 could not withstand its medicinal power, even an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal could easily succumb to Qi deviation.

Fortunately, most of those present were top-tier 8-Calamity Ancient Immortals, unafraid of the overbearing nature of the Primordial Chaos Divine Liquid.

Eldrin retrieved a mouthful of Chaos Divine Liquid and began refining it. Instantly, an overwhelmingly potent immortal fluid surged into his body, relentlessly corroding his Primordial Indestructible Form.

Fortunately, the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was extraordinary, instantly refining such potent medicinal power and absorbing the indestructible divine essence into his flesh.

"What a pity."

Seeing this, Eldrin couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.

He had initially thought this Chaos Void Divine Liquid was extraordinary, capable of refining his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, only to realize he had overestimated it.

This was not because the Primordial Chaos Divine Liquid was insufficiently potent, but because the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was far too astonishing.

Consider this: if even the Violet Extreme Ancient Phoenix's Violet Sky Divine Thunder could not destroy such a constitution, how could the Primordial Chaos Divine Liquid—a celestial treasure spirit water—possibly compare to such overwhelming destructive lightning?

At this thought, Eldrin took out 2 portions of Chaos Divine Liquid and began refining 1 of them.

The others followed suit, each taking a portion before seeking out secluded cultivation chambers to begin their closed-door retreat and refine the Chaos Godliquid.

Thus time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 1 1000 years had passed.

That day, Eldrin jolted awake from his secluded cultivation, shaking his head with a trace of regret. Perhaps due to his overly powerful physical body, the effects of the Primordial Chaos Divine Liquid were nearly imperceptible on him.

Its sole function was to utilize the indestructible divinity within this divine liquid to replenish the power of indestructibility within the Primordial Indestructible Body.

Eldrin knew all too well that his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body had reached the absolute pinnacle of its development. The slightest further advancement would inevitably awaken his Eternal True Spirit, attracting the baptism of countless true spirit imprints and ultimately forging the fabled True Spirit Physique.

Of course, for Eldrin (Person Name), achieving even the slightest further progress had become exceedingly difficult.

"We still need the assistance of the Great Luo Wind Vein."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, then swept his divine sense across the Primordial Chaos Marsh. Finding the others still in secluded cultivation, he retrieved the Dao Origin of the Primal Chaos Dragon.

This Primordial Desolate Dragon was 1 of the Primordial True Dragons, an exceedingly rare dragon species that exclusively cultivated its physical body.

This bloodline typically possessed extremely low spiritual intelligence, remaining in a muddled state akin to primordial malevolent spirits. Only under exceptionally rare circumstances could consciousness emerge among them.

Once the Primordial Dragon gained sentience, it was destined to become a prodigy of the Flesh Sanctification lineage.

As far as Eldrin (Person Name) knew, within the entire 3 1000 Immortal Domains, prodigies who achieved sainthood through physical cultivation were exceptionally rare. It was likely that not a single 1 would emerge in several dozen billion years.

To achieve sainthood through physical cultivation, 1 must forge a True Spirit Body capable of suppressing all other paths with a single Dao. Such individuals are undoubtedly epoch-defying prodigies, often capable of simultaneously breaching other Great Perfection Heavenly Barriers.

Only a select few, despite having cultivated a True Spirit Body, possessed no innate talent for the Great Dao or magical power. They could only achieve sainthood through physical ascension to prove the Great Dao.

Among these Great Perfected Immortals who achieved sainthood through physical cultivation, the Primordial Dragon Clan has always remained a dazzling lineage.

The entire Ancient Primal Dragon race boasted no less than 6 Great Luo Golden Immortals, and even possessed a supreme existence at the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm. Each of these individuals had cultivated True Spiritual Roots as their foundation, collectively comprising over 30 percent of all fleshly body sanctification practitioners.

The Ao Huang slain by Eldrin (Person Name) had not yet cultivated a True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundation, but he was exceedingly close to achieving it.

Most crucially, the Primordial Azure Dragon possessed an innate bloodline ability—a divine gift of the flesh sanctification path that could dramatically enhance physical combat prowess. This was something even Eldrin found deeply compelling.

Thinking of this, Eldrin decisively began refining this wisp of Dao Origin.

With his current level of cultivation, refining the 8 Calamity Dao Origin had become remarkably swift. In just a few centuries, he had completely assimilated this Dao Origin and finally emerged from secluded meditation.

Battle Saint Method!

Eldrin opened his eyes, slowly contemplating the insights he had gained from the source of the Dao, and couldn't help but murmur to himself.

This time, he gained profound insights into the lifelong cultivation comprehension of the Primordial Azure Dragon from its Dao Origin, reaping harvests that could truly be described as exceedingly bountiful.

Yet what truly brought delight to Eldrin was the Combat Sacred Art of the Primordial Azure Dragon lineage.

This Battle-Sanctifying Art was the innate divine ability of the Primordial Draconic Behemoths. Unlike ordinary Patriarch-level divine arts, which could unleash staggering power in an instant or possess myriad wondrous applications,

If 1 were to categorize it, this Battle Saint Art more closely resembles a unique auxiliary forbidden divine ability.

For once the Battle Saint Art was unleashed, it could amplify the physical power of the Primordial Desolate Dragon threefold, growing ever stronger as the battle intensified.

You must understand, this was no forbidden divine ability.

Many Great Luo Golden Immortals possessed divine abilities that could unleash several times their combat power, but those were all forbidden techniques requiring an unimaginably immense price.

However, the Combat Divine Art was not a forbidden technique. It could be activated routinely in battle, with only 1 significant drawback—an immense expenditure of energy.

Moreover, the Battle-Sainthood Method is also an innate divine ability. Once activated, the blood of the Ancient Desolate Dragon would boil, and every cell would erupt with an indomitable will, granting the dragon a near-invincible instinct for close-quarters combat.

Even when fighting by instinct alone, they could achieve near-invincibility in close-quarters combat among peers of the same cultivation realm.

Moreover, the Combat Divinity Art contained a unique close-quarters combat technique designed specifically for the Ancient Primal Dragon, enabling each of its strikes to unleash astonishing power. It could be said that the Combat Divinity Art was remarkably comprehensive.

"What a magnificent Combat Divinity Art."

Eldrin murmured to himself, his heart stirring with a trace of excitement.

If he could master the Combat Divinity Art and rely on the power of the Primordial Indestructible Body, wouldn't his strength undergo a qualitative leap?

Unfortunately, the Battle-Sanctioned Divine Method was a bloodline ability of the Primordial Chaos Dragons, requiring the lineage of their clan to cultivate it.

Moreover, this divine ability was not integrated into the primordial spirit, but was an innate bloodline power naturally concealed within 1’s own bloodline and physical body.

"It seems I must forge my own path."

At this thought, Eldrin murmured inwardly, then began crafting his own combat technique using the Battle Saint Method as a foundation.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, 3 1000 years had passed. It was not until 3 millennia later that Eldrin awoke from his secluded cultivation. Gazing upon the scroll of techniques before him, a trace of regret flickered in his eyes.

This time, emulating the Combat Holy Art, he attempted to alter the Dao patterns and bloodline power within his physical form, ultimately forging a unique bloodline ability entirely his own.

However, he discovered that this kind of bloodline power was far too domineering—it would suppress the spiritual energy within his body, his primordial spirit, and even his Dao power. Cultivating it would likely prove to be a case of gaining little at a great cost.

No wonder the Primordial Dragons were incapable of cultivating the Great Dao's principles, and even rarely developed spiritual intelligence—it turns out their bloodline abilities completely suppressed their comprehension of the Dao and magical power.

Eldrin murmured softly, shaking his head with a bitter smile as he gave up any further attempts to alter this bloodline ability.

Even the Primordial Chaos Emperor of the Ancient Desolate Dragon Clan failed to discover a method to simultaneously cultivate bloodline supernatural powers and the Great Dao. He could only stubbornly pursue the path of physical sanctification until the very end. Given Eldrin's (Person Name) current realm, it was likely impossible for him to achieve this either.

He did not waste his effort, instead abandoning the notion of continuing to create a bloodline divine ability.

Of course, although he hadn't cultivated any bloodline abilities, Eldrin wasn't completely empty-handed either. By emulating the combat techniques of the Battle Saint Art, he had created a set of 9 lethal forms.

This killing art is divided into 9 stages: Solar Yang, Mysterious Abyss, Nirvana, Earthly Mystery, Soaring Blade, Wind Tribulation, Thunderous Wrath, Ice Soul, and Primordial Chaos.

These 9 killing techniques, each capable of unleashing distinct powers, not only brought forth the explosive force of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body beyond its limits, but also employed varied stances to counter different formidable foes.

Most crucially, these 9 killing techniques imposed few practical constraints—they could be executed barehanded or channeled through the Chaos Heavenly Halberd, substantially amplifying his close-quarters combat prowess.

Thus, Eldrin could be considered quite satisfied.

It was only then that Eldrin retrieved the Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Vessel, beginning his efforts to restore this Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

The Yin-Yang Myriad Crow Vessel had originally been severely damaged, but after countless years of restoration within the Qingcang Immortal Realm, it gradually regained its original power.

At this moment, Eldrin possessed 2 portions of Great Luo divine materials. Restoring the Yin-Yang Myriad Crows Vessel now felt like a natural progression. He simply infused the divine materials into the vessel, relying on the innate restorative power of the primordial spiritual treasure to gradually mend it.

After the restoration of the Myriad Crows Vessel, Eldrin conducted several trials and discovered that this artifact could summon over 10 1000 Primordial Yin-Yang Crows of the Ancient Immortal Realm in a single invocation.

Moreover, within the Myriad Crows Pot resided 2 crow emperors—1 of yin and 1 of yang.

The combat prowess of both the Yin Crow and Yang Crow approached the threshold of an 8 Calamity Ancient Immortal. When combined, their strength was even sufficient to defeat an ordinary 8 Calamity Ancient Immortal.

"What a fine treasure indeed."

Gazing upon the Yin-Yang Myriad Crow Vessel, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly.

After some calculation, he deduced that both the Yin Crow and Yang Crow had once been Chaos Holy Spirits at the Eighth Heavenly Tribulation realm of Ancient Immortals. Later, they were slain by a Great Luo Golden Immortal who refined their primordial spirits and flesh into the Yin-Yang 10-1000 Crow Vessel, transforming them into 2 Crow Emperors within it.

Such a divine artifact might not significantly enhance the combat prowess of a Golden Immortal of the Grand Luo, but for an 8-Tribulation Ancient Immortal, its power undoubtedly surpasses that of ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasures.

At this thought, Eldrin retrieved the 10-1000 Crow Pot and emerged from his secluded cultivation.

At this moment, everyone had emerged from seclusion. Having each refined an 8-Calamity Dao Origin and obtained a Chaos Marvel, nearly all had made significant progress in their cultivation.

The 1 who had made the most remarkable progress was the Skyrending Demon Emperor. True to his reputation as the prodigious talent of the demon race handpicked by White Crane Immortal Lord, he had already cultivated a 10-Limit Body while still at the 4 Calamities Ancient Immortal realm.

Seizing this opportunity, he forged ahead with unwavering resolve and successfully cultivated the Indestructible Body, achieving a significant advancement in his strength.

Moreover, he had refined the Profound Gold Jade Marrow into a sect master-level divine ability, 'God-Slashing Edge', which further enhanced his combat prowess by a few degrees.

Apart from him, the others had also made progress. Those who had cultivated the Indestructible Body found their physical strength increased by 10 percent.

However, the Primordial Ice Phoenix, which had not yet cultivated the Indestructible Body, also experienced a significant enhancement in its physical strength, kindling a glimmer of hope that it might 1 day attain the Indestructible Body.

Overall, apart from the significant advancement of the Rift Sky Demon Emperor, the rest of the group had improved their cultivation by 10 to 20 percent.

"Excellent. With Brother Liedao's breakthrough this time, it seems our chances of venturing through the Ancient Immortal Ruins have improved by several degrees."

Seeing that everyone had made progress, Eldrin couldn't help but smile faintly.

The Sky-Sundering Demon Emperor smiled faintly, yet sighed and said, "Though this breakthrough has been substantial, I can already sense that the path ahead will likely be fraught with hardships."

"With my innate talent, achieving the Indestructible Body was already the limit. Even if I were granted tenfold or a hundredfold resources now, it would be impossible for me to cultivate a second Indestructible Foundation."

"Even with a 10-limit foundation, it remains exceptionally arduous..."

The Sundering Heaven Demon Emperor murmured softly, his gaze dimming slightly.

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) did not speak further. Every person’s innate talent had its limits; once those limits were exceeded, it would require tenfold or even a hundredfold effort to make even the slightest improvement.

For instance, among Eldrin's (Person Name) several dao companions, aside from Seraphina Qu (Person Name) and Lyra (Person Name), the innate talents of the others were nearly reaching their limits.

Take Lila (Person Name) and Yan Ziji, for instance. Though their innate talents were not exceptional among the Ancient Immortals, they could not cultivate Eldrin (Person Name)’s Chaos Divine Thunder or the Primordial Chaos Pneuma.

Relying solely on their own efforts, even if Eldrin gave them 1 100 premium-grade Innate Soul-Nourishing Woods, they would still find it exceedingly difficult to cultivate a 10-Limit Primordial Spirit.

Even with the Limit-Breaking Secret Art inherited from the Primordial Dao Ancestor and the Innate Earth Soul Tome of the Supreme Nether Emperor, 1 could at most cultivate a soul reaching the 10-Limit Realm. The hope of achieving an Indestructible Primordial Spirit remained exceedingly slim.

Without the continuous tempering of the 5 Thunders Soul-Refining Art, the path to cultivating an Indestructible Soul was as arduous as scaling the heavens.

This was not a matter of insufficient resources, but rather that even if you were given so many resources, you would be unable to digest them and turn them into your own foundation.

Eldrin was able to cultivate the Indestructible Primordial Spirit through the 5 Thunders Body Tempering Art. By repeatedly shattering his spirit and breaking through limits in cycles of destruction and rebirth, he ultimately forged that wisp of indestructible divinity.

They did not possess the 5 Thunders Soul-Forging Art, and relying on secret techniques created by others might ultimately prove incompatible with them.

In truth, it was not only the Primordial Spirit; whether it was spiritual power, physical body, or even the Dao Fruit, surmounting the eleventh limit in any heavenly barrier was as difficult as scaling the heavens. 1 must first be broken and then rebuilt to set foot upon that step.

Unless they could tailor and create a Limit-Breaking Method that perfectly suited themselves, they would have only the slightest chance of taking that step and cultivating an indestructible foundation of their own.

"A 10-limit foundation is considered the limit for the vast majority of 8 Calamity Ancient Immortals. With sufficient opportunities, there is a considerable chance of cultivating 1."

"Yet to advance further and cultivate that indestructible foundation, it is not something that can be achieved merely by having resources."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a sudden wave of melancholy washing over him.

In that moment, he felt a trace of bewilderment for Lila and the others. If they failed to cultivate an 11-Limit Foundation, even if they stepped into the Cosmic Tribulation, it would be exceedingly difficult to ultimately attain the Dao of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

After all, which of the Great Luo Golden Immortals capable of sweeping through kalpic tribulations and vanquishing all foes to attain the Dao weren't extraordinary talents whose brilliance would dazzle the ages?

Although an Indestructible Foundation is the seed of a Primordial Chaos Emperor, capable of attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, who among them is not a seed of Primordial Chaos Emperor?

Even the most ordinary cultivator, having weathered 9 successive kalpic tribulations to prove their path as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, would inevitably harbor a sliver of hope to attain the realm of the Primordial Chaos Emperor upon taking that final step.

"Forget it, why dwell on it?"

"If I can attain the Great Dao of the Grand Luo, perhaps I can help Lila and the others find their own path to the Grand Luo."

Eldrin (Person Name) shook his head with a final whisper, casting the thought from his mind.

He looked at the Rift Sky Demon Emperor with a light chuckle. "Fellow Daoist Rift Sky, there's no need for undue modesty. Having cultivated an Indestructible Foundation, you have already surpassed 90-8 percent of ancient immortals who underwent the heavenly tribulations."

"Your hope of attaining the Great Dao of the Grand Luo has now increased by more than tenfold."

The Sundering Heaven Demon Emperor laughed heartily and said, "Indeed, I have been too greedy."

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) spoke up at the opportune moment, "Since we've already emerged from seclusion, there's no need for us to linger any longer. Where should we head next?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward Eldrin.

Seeing this, Eldrin spoke frankly, "To be honest, my purpose in coming to the Ancient Immortal Ruins Continent this time is to attempt cultivating the True Spirit Body."

"Next, I intend to seek out a Great Luo Wind Vein for cultivation. I'm afraid I won't be emerging from seclusion until my practice reaches completion."

Upon hearing this, everyone could not help but show expressions of astonishment.

Youwu's heart was shaken to its core. After staring intently at Eldrin for a long moment, she finally spoke: "The Golden Crow Little Celestial Emperor cultivated for over a 100 kalpas, yet never succeeded in establishing a second True Spiritual Root. I never imagined you would attempt to forge a third."

"It seems your talent far surpasses my expectations—perhaps you truly possess the disposition of a Dao Ancestor."

Hearing this, everyone felt a tremendous shock in their hearts.

The Sundering Heaven Demon Emperor took a deep breath and could not help but remark, "Since ancient times, 1 or 2 individuals with True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundations have emerged every 10 billion years. The occasional appearance of 1 or 2 can only be described as exceptionally gifted, yet it remains insufficient to draw the attention of the Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages."

"Yet to establish a foundation with 2 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) – that is a rarity since time immemorial. Every individual who achieves this will ultimately rank among the foremost figures among the Primordial Chaos Emperors."

"But to my knowledge, all genuine Dao Ancestor Seeds have cultivated a foundation of 3 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root)."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin couldn't help but ask curiously, "To cultivate a foundation with 3 types of True Spiritual Roots—are individuals like this truly so rare?"

"Of course, it's rare."

The Primordial Ice Phoenix suddenly spoke, a thoughtful tone in its voice. "In the Primordial Era, aside from the 7 current Dao Ancestors and Immortal Sages, no more than a handful among the 3 1000 immortal realms ever achieved the foundation of 3 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root)."

Among that handful of individuals were the Lunar Emperor, the Qilin Ancestor, the Kunpeng Emperor, and a few others.

At this point, the Primordial Ice Phoenix sighed once more and said, "These individuals are all invincible existences at the Mixed Origin Emperor realm. Each of them is merely half a step away from mastering the Dao and ascending to the level of Chaos Heavenly Emperor."

The reason they failed to breach the Chaos Realm was neither for lack of talent nor innate aptitude, but the absence of that crucial Primordial Chaos Qi (Cultivation Energy).

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes trembled slightly, a flicker of astonishment surfacing within them.

After speaking to this point, the Primordial Ice Phoenix continued, "During the final years of the Primordial Era, the war between your 3 1000 Immortal Domains and the Outer Realms erupted precisely because the Divine Race's Great Yin Emperor and the Outer Realms' 'Great Yin Demon Lord' were contending for the Dao."

The Lunar Thearch was born with the innate Chaos Spirit Root ‘Lunar Divine Tree’, accompanied by a wisp of Primordial Chaos Qi from the dawn of the Primordial Domain’s creation. By all accounts, he was destined to attain the Dao and ascend as a Chaos Divine Emperor, fated to become the God Clan’s fourth ordained Divine Emperor.

"Yet at the critical moment, the Heavenly Emperor of the demon race, coveting the authority over the Dao of Stars, betrayed the Lunar Sovereign and the Emperor of Ziwei. This resulted in the Lunar Sovereign's failure to attain the Dao, leading to the near-total collapse of the 3,000 immortal domains in that great war."

The Ancient Ice Phoenix began to narrate in a measured tone, recounting the events of those bygone years, her eyes still holding a trace of lingering astonishment.

Eldrin was also somewhat astonished upon hearing this. He had mostly surmised that the Celestial Emperor was the Solar God Emperor, yet for the first time, he found himself viewing the Solar Celestial Emperor in a new light.

Beside them, You Wu sighed softly and said, "Our 3 Poles Primordial Realm holds a high rank. Since the dawn of creation, there have been 9 Chaos Heavenly Emperor (Cultivation Rank) positions."

However, the Chaos Primordial Qi that accompanied the Lunar Divine Emperor was seized. Similarly, the Chaos Primordial Qi born alongside the 3 primordial beings—the Qilin Ancestor, the Candle Dragon, and the Primordial Phoenix—were also taken during the era of the Primordial Divine Court, respectively claimed by Taichu, Ziwei, and the Solar Divine Emperor.

"Although the Candle Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix later obtained opportunities when the Primordial Realm of the Immortal Cosmos shattered, the Ancestral Qilin failed to acquire the Primordial Chaos Qi, forever remaining unable to take that final step."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) instantly grasped some of the hidden truths.

It turned out that in those early years, the Primordial Divine Emperor and the Violet Emperor had seized the Primordial Chaos Qi of the Candle Dragon and the Primal Phoenix, while the Solar Celestial Emperor had taken the Primordial Chaos Qi of the Ancestral Kylin.

It was precisely for this reason that after the Primordial Dragon and the Primal Phoenix attained the Dao, they were willing to collaborate with the Celestial Emperor of the Sun to establish the Celestial Court of the Demon Tribes.

This was not only because they had received the aid of the Sun Celestial Emperor during their path to enlightenment, but also because they served as allies to the Sun Celestial Emperor in his struggle against the Primordial Divine Emperor and the Ziwei Divine Emperor. The ancient grievances between the Candle Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Divine Clan naturally made them his inherent allies.

In contrast, the Qilin Ancestor severed all ties with the Demonic Celestial Court, reigning unchallenged as the paramount leader of the 100 Spirit Races for countless kalpas. Yet he maintained an unusual affinity for humanity—a natural alliance forged by their shared nemesis.
