Chapter 2067 : The Demon Emperor's Dao Companion
"During the Primordial Era War of Eruption, the Nine-Colored Immortal Maiden was suppressed by the Foreign Realm Demon Emperor, yet that Foreign Realm Demon Emperor treated her with considerable courtesy and respect."
"From what I know, the Nine-Colored Immortal Maiden has now become the Foreign Realm Demon Emperor's Dao Companion [a cultivator's lifelong partner in both cultivation and life]. Moreover, with the Foreign Realm Demon Emperor's aid, her cultivation has already stepped into the Sage Ascendant Realm."
"Now she is known as the Nine-Colored Sage Ascendant, a formidable figure of great renown even within the Six Domains of the Northern Abyss."
"This..."
Hearing this, the Seven Radiance Immortal Lord wore a look of utter astonishment, his expression one of disbelief.
Seeing this, Eldrin Chen remarked with deep feeling, "Within the Vast Chaotic Void, there is no absolute evil, nor is there absolute good."
"Although the Foreign Realm Demon Emperor possesses a domineering nature, his ability to command the loyalty of nine Chaos Demon Sovereign [powerful demon rulers of the Chaos Realm] suggests he must possess extraordinary personal charisma."
Speaking to this point, even Eldrin Chen could not help but sigh with emotion.
Compared to the Three Poles Origin Domain, the True Demon Primal Domain of the Northern Abyss is far more united.
That Foreign Realm Demon Emperor is a figure of awe-inspiring reputation across dozens of surrounding Chaos Domain.
It is said that of the nine Chaos Demon Sovereign within the True Demon Primal Domain, the majority were personally nurtured by the Foreign Realm Demon Emperor [a powerful demonic sovereign from a foreign realm].
Even the Primordial Demonic Ape [an ancient and ferocious ape demon], known for its fierce and domineering temperament, willingly serves as a Divine General under his banner. This alone speaks volumes of the Foreign Realm Demon Emperor's extraordinary capabilities.
Indeed, many Chaos Celestial Emperor [supreme rulers of chaos realms] believe that among the dozens of Chaos Domain surrounding the Blazing Central Chaos Domain, the Foreign Realm Demon Emperor stands as the one most likely to ascend to the realm of Dao-Union Supreme [the supreme state of unity with the Dao].
"A formidable adversary," Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, a subtle pressure settling upon his spirit.
He sighed quietly, sensing the weight of the looming conflict.
Though the Primordial Chaos Abyss [a vast, turbulent chasm of primordial chaos] stands as an impregnable barrier dividing the northern and southern Chaos Domain, even its fury must one day subside.
When that day comes and the forces of the Six Domains of the Northern Abyss descend, how can the fragmented and disunited Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss possibly withstand their onslaught?
Upon reflection, at least ten figures from the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss with the potential to become Celestial Emperor [a sovereign emperor], or even those bearing the destiny-laden lineage of Heaven-Ordained Divine Emperor [a divine emperor ordained by heaven], have pledged allegiance to that Foreign Realm Demon Emperor. This includes beings like the Three Souls Emperor Lord and the Primordial Demonic Ape.
Even from beyond the Thirteen Domains of the Heavenly Abyss, renowned peerless experts have journeyed far to join the ranks of the Foreign Realm Demon Emperor.
Among them, several, cultivated under his guidance, have risen to become part of the ten great Chaos Demon Sovereign. These Chaos Demon Sovereign regard the Demon Emperor not merely as a lord, but as their sovereign monarch.
Under such circumstances, should war erupt once more, the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss would likely find themselves in dire peril.
"How laughable that the Seven Domains of the Southern Abyss, entrenched behind the strategic advantage of the Heavenly Abyss, believe themselves impregnable, all the while scheming and plotting against one another."
"Little do they realize that true danger may be imminent, capable of turning their world upside down in a single day."
With these thoughts weighing on his mind, Eldrin Chen found himself with little desire to continue the conversation.
He entrusted Nyssa Qu with hosting the guests and retreated once more into the Seclusion Chamber to resume his closed-door cultivation.
For Eldrin Chen, the most pressing matter was his own cultivation base. Without sufficient strength, he feared he would lack even the ability to protect himself when the world was truly turned upside down.
Thus, in a blur of focused seclusion, more than a dozen Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles] passed.
As the Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly drew ever nearer, Eldrin Chen delayed no longer. He hurriedly traversed the Boundless Chaotic Desolate Sea and set his course for the Blazing Central Chaos Domain.
This journey to the Blazing Central Chaos Domain was undertaken by Eldrin Chen alone.
For the Black Abyss Great Emperor was in the midst of refining the Chaos Origin Pearl [a primordial pearl containing the essence of chaos], seeking to master the Ultimate Divine Rune Chaos [a supreme art of chaos divine runes]. Meanwhile, the Primordial Spirit Emperor was also digesting the gains from the recent conflict and was not prepared to embark on another long journey immediately.
With his current level of cultivation, traversing the Boundless Chaotic Desolate Sea [a vast and perilous expanse of primordial chaos] required little time for Eldrin Chen, given he possessed a clear spatial coordinate.
After a mere three Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of immense duration], he arrived within the heart of the Blazing Central Chaos Domain [a central realm of intense, fiery chaos].
Upon reaching the Blazing Central Chaos Domain, Eldrin Chen was surprised to find Indestructible Elder had already been waiting there for some time.
"I had long anticipated your arrival here," the elder stated.
"Come, let me offer you wine."
Indestructible Elder smiled and personally escorted him to an immortal pavilion for reception.
He personally poured a cup of wine for Eldrin Chen and drank with him, his demeanor exceedingly courteous.
After three rounds of wine, Indestructible Elder suddenly inquired, "I hear you have seized an Incomplete Chaos Secret Realm [a partially formed, hidden realm within the chaos]?"
Eldrin Chen pondered briefly before replying, "I did not expect word of this to have spread so far."
"They say you profited from others' conflict, launching a surprise attack to claim that Chaos Secret Realm, and have even made its spatial coordinates public."
Speaking to this point, Indestructible Elder [the ancient being known as the Indestructible Elder] shook his head and said, "This old man has also been to that secret realm. Unfortunately, it had long been picked clean."
Eldrin Chen [the cultivator Eldrin Chen] gave a slight nod, then spoke plainly: "The fact that I dare to come here today should make it clear to you that I certainly do not possess any Chaos Primordial Qi [the primordial essence of chaos, a supreme treasure for cultivation]."
"I thought as much."
Indestructible Elder nodded in agreement, then mused aloud, "The Chaos Celestial Emperor [the supreme ruler of the Chaos Realm] personally made the journey. He stated unequivocally that Chaos Primordial Qi was indeed present there, but it had already been taken by another."
"Alas."
Eldrin Chen let out a soft sigh, understanding the elder's unspoken hope. He stated frankly, "It was indeed taken. However, the one who possesses it is unlikely to ever bring it forth for trade."
"So it is true."
Indestructible Elder heaved a sigh laden with the weight of ages. "This old wreck has wasted millions of Kalpa Tribulation [cosmic cycles of immense duration]. I have contended for entry into the Chaos Secret Realm [a hidden dimension born from primordial chaos] on seven separate occasions, yet fate has always denied me the Chaos Primordial Qi."
"Could it be... that in this lifetime, I am truly destined to never glimpse the Chaos Realm [the legendary realm of cultivation aligned with primordial chaos]?"
Eldrin Chen fell into contemplative silence for a long moment before finally speaking. "Perhaps the moment simply has not yet arrived. With your power, Senior, I believe the day will ultimately come when you obtain that Opportunity [a pivotal chance or fortune crucial for advancement in cultivation]."
"Let us hope so."
Indestructible Elder shook his head, then cautioned Eldrin Chen: "Though I understand you do not possess the Chaos Primordial Qi, others may not be so convinced."
"Especially Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor. His strength is considerable, and earning his enmity could bring you significant trouble."
"At least until that wisp of Chaos Primordial Qi is consumed, it will continue to draw trouble to your door."
Hearing this, Eldrin Chen's expression grew solemn.
Indestructible Elder said no more, finally sighing. "This time, I will escort you back."
Eldrin Chen was inwardly shaken. He quickly clasped his hands in gratitude. "If so, my deepest thanks."
"Between us, there is no need for such formality."
With those words, Indestructible Elder patted his shoulder and immediately led him towards the location of the Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly.
For this Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly, Eldrin Chen had timed his arrival perfectly. He did not have to wait long before the grand assembly commenced.
During this Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly, Eldrin Chen also spotted several familiar faces.
Among them were Vast Void Dao Progenitor and Ant Celestial Emperor. The Ant Celestial Emperor had heard a little of Eldrin Chen and, upon noticing him, merely gave a slight nod of acknowledgment.
As for the Vast Void Dao Progenitor, he offered Eldrin Chen a rather amiable smile.
As lofty Chaos Celestial Emperor, a single glance was enough for them to deduce that the wisp of Chaos Primordial Qi was not upon Eldrin Chen's person. Consequently, they naturally had no interest in making an enemy of him.
At this moment, Eldrin Chen could also discern the differing statuses of the two figures.
The seating order at the Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly dictated the sequence for taking the stage; generally, the stronger one's power, the earlier their position.
Among the more than eighty Chaos Celestial Emperor present, the Ant Celestial Emperor was seated in the seventeenth position.
In contrast, the Vast Void Dao Progenitor was ranked a mere seventy-third, revealing the vast disparity in strength and standing between the two Celestial Emperor.
"The Ant Celestial Emperor's power must rank among the very pinnacle even amidst the Chaos Celestial Emperor," Eldrin Chen mused.
"As for this Vast Void Dao Progenitor, I fear his own Great Dao [the supreme cultivation path one follows] has become a burden to him."
Eldrin Chen's thoughts drifted, recalling the strength of Vast Void Dao Progenitor. Although Vast Void Dao Progenitor was a progenitor of a great path, the cultivation method he created, the Confucian Dao [a cultivation art based on Confucian virtues and scholarship], was not considered particularly powerful.
This method could, at most, allow one to cultivate to the realm of a Primordial Chaos Emperor Monarch [a supreme sovereign ruler within the primordial chaos]. However, the conditions for practicing it were exceedingly harsh, and the difficulty of breakthroughs varied greatly from person to person, placing far too much emphasis on individual talent and enlightenment.
Vast Void Dao Progenitor was able to break through to become a Chaos Celestial Emperor [a Celestial Emperor reigning within the Primordial Chaos] precisely because the unique environment of the Vast Righteousness Primordial Domain nurtured a great number of geniuses suited for the Confucian Dao.
Outside the Vast Righteousness Primordial Domain, promoting the Confucian Dao cultivation method was as difficult as scaling the heavens. Consequently, Harlan, despite his Dao Progenitor [a progenitor who has established their own Great Dao] cultivation base, found it nearly impossible to advance any further.
In contrast, the Immortal Domain Method [a method to establish one's own immortal domain] propagated by the Primordial Beginning Dao Ancestor spread far and wide. His own cultivation soared because of it, even holding the potential to step into the Half-Step Dao Union Realm [a quasi-realm just below the ultimate union with the Great Dao].
"Esteemed guests, let the Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly commence now."
Just as Eldrin Chen's thoughts flickered, a figure of peerless elegance and grace stepped forward within the grand hall of this Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly.
The person wore a flowing gown, her beauty and aura utterly transcendent. The pressure of her cultivation base felt far more formidable than even that of the Ant Celestial Emperor.
Most crucially, Eldrin Chen sensed from her an immensely powerful aura of Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and true essence of a cultivator].
"She is..."
Eldrin Chen paused for a moment, a flicker of surprise crossing his features as he spoke.
The Indestructible Elder beside him, seeing this, chuckled softly and said, "You wish to ask why she possesses such formidable Primordial Spirit Power [the power of one's spiritual core]."
Eldrin Chen offered no reply, only a trace of inquiry gleaming in his eyes.
Indestructible Elder sighed, then began to explain, "This Seven Extremities Empress is a Dual Dao Fruit Chaos Celestial Emperor [a Celestial Emperor who has attained two Dao Fruits of Chaos], having simultaneously cultivated both the Primordial Spirit Dao Attainment [the path of spiritual cultivation] and the Chaos Great Dao [the supreme path of primordial chaos]."
"Her mastery of the Great Dao [the supreme principles of cultivation] has allowed her to forge two distinct Chaos Great Dao, and her Primordial Spirit [spiritual core] cultivation has even ascended to the realm of a Soul Path Celestial Emperor [a Celestial Emperor who specializes in soul cultivation]."
"Such profound foundation and depth of power grant her strength comparable to a Half-Step Dao Union Realm [one who is half a step from the Dao Union Realm]. She is hailed as the foremost prodigy of the Blazing Central Chaos Domain, counted among those most likely to step into the Second Chaos Realm."
A ripple of astonishment stirred within Eldrin Chen's heart. "To cultivate two Chaos Great Dao simultaneously and also achieve the realm of a Soul Path Celestial Emperor..." he murmured.
"Was it not said that within this Primordial Chaos Origin Domain, no Soul Path Celestial Emperor may emerge?"
"'May not emerge'?" Indestructible Elder let out a derisive snort. "She is the direct daughter of a Dao-Union Supreme [a supreme being who has united with the Dao], the third most powerful figure of the Blazing Central Primordial Domain lineage."
Eldrin Chen finally understood. The prohibition against Soul Path Celestial Emperor emerging referred not to a universal law, but to preventing *others* from breaking through to that realm.
As for their own lineage, the more Soul Path Celestial Emperor [a supreme cultivator who has mastered the Dao of the Soul] they could produce, the better, naturally.
Seeing this, Indestructible Elder spoke up, "It is said that over half of all true Dao-Union Supreme [a cultivator who has successfully merged multiple Great Daos into one] will also cultivate the Chaos Primordial Spirit [a legendary art for refining one's spiritual core with primordial chaos energy]."
"This was the case in the ancient Immortal Cosmos Origin Domain [the primordial birthplace of the cosmos where immortals first emerged], and even now, the Foreign Realm Demon Emperor from the Northern Abyss [a desolate and demon-infested northern region] has also attained the Soul Path Celestial Emperor."
"If one cannot cultivate the Soul Path Celestial Emperor, then even mastering three Chaos Great Dao [fundamental cosmic principles born from chaos] is the limit; the chance of such a person successfully achieving Dao Merging [the perilous process of fusing multiple Great Daos] is less than one in a hundred."
Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. If one cultivated the Soul Path Celestial Emperor, then based on their affinity with the mastered Chaos Great Dao, the likelihood of breaking through to Dao-Union Supreme generally ranged from ten to fifty percent.
Conversely, if one could not cultivate the Soul Path Celestial Emperor, then mastering three Chaos Great Dao was already the absolute limit. What right would such a person have to complete the Dao Merging and break through to Soul Path Celestial Emperor?
Seeing his understanding, Indestructible Elder continued, "Of course, attaining the Soul Path Celestial Emperor is itself the final boundary."
"If she dared to advance one step further and cultivate a Primordial Spirit [the foundational spiritual core of a cultivator] of the Second Chaos Realm [a legendary, near-mythical stage of cultivation within the chaos], she would inevitably attract an indescribable calamity."
A flicker of understanding passed through Eldrin Chen's eyes as he recalled the legend of the Primordial Soul River [a mythical river said to be formed from the essence of a fallen supreme soul].
It was said that the Primordial Soul River was formed from the remains of a Soul Path Celestial Emperor who had reached the Half-Step Dao Union Realm [a pinnacle state just shy of true Dao-Union] and failed in their attempt to charge into the Second Chaos Realm.
From the current perspective, it seems that behind this lies an even more terrifying and hidden secret.
"The pioneers seized every advantage, cutting off the Primordial Chaos Path for those who came after,"
Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, offering this evaluation.
Indestructible Elder smiled faintly and sighed, saying, "Since the opening of Chaos until now, the number of Chaos Realm powerhouses has increased by no less than a hundredfold."
"Yet even today, those who have set foot in the Third Chaos Realm remain the original batch. The only exception might be that senior who pioneered the Path of Fleshly Body Sanctification."
Eldrin Chen remained silent. The Third Chaos Realm was far too distant for him; now was not the time for such lofty ambitions.
"Esteemed guests, for this Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly, allow this humble one to cast the first stone to attract jade."
Just as Eldrin Chen and Indestructible Elder were conversing, the Seven Extremities Empress waved her sleeve, revealing several dozen rare and extraordinary treasures.
With merely a glance, Eldrin Chen felt a profound tremor within his heart.
For each treasure displayed by the Seven Extremities Empress was of immense value, each at least at the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure or even a Chaos Rare Treasure [a treasure of legendary rarity born from the primordial chaos]. Among them was even a portion of Chaos Primordial Qi [the most fundamental and potent energy from the dawn of creation].
Among these treasures were the two Chaos Rare Treasure [a primordial and exceedingly rare material used to forge supreme artifacts] required by Eldrin Chen.
Eldrin Chen swiftly initiated a trade, ultimately exchanging the Great Wilderness Emperor Sword and the Heaven-Locking Golden Chain to acquire them.
The trading session with Seven Extremities Empress lasted for a considerable time. Only after she had exchanged for numerous treasures did she depart, thoroughly satisfied.
Not long after her departure, another Chaos Celestial Emperor at the Half-Step Dao Union Realm [a quasi-merged state with the fundamental Dao, one step below the ultimate union] ascended the platform.
The resources he displayed were equally astonishing. Eldrin Chen managed to procure two more Chaos Rare Treasure from him in exchange for the Azure Dragon Halberd and the Heaven-Slaying War Blade.
By this point, Eldrin Chen had gathered a total of eight Chaos Rare Treasure. He was now only four such treasures away from Ascension [the process of refining and elevating a treasure to a higher grade] the Abyssal Seal.
After the second Chaos Celestial Emperor descended, the third finally took the stage.
This Chaos Celestial Emperor bore the Daoist title 'Violet Firmament Immortal Sage' and was a powerful Celestial Emperor [a supreme ruler among cultivators, often governing a vast celestial domain] from another Chaos Domain [a primordial and turbulent region of the cosmos].
Eldrin Chen held exceedingly high expectations for him, for he was not only another Chaos Celestial Emperor at the Half-Step Dao Union Realm, but also an exceptionally skilled Alchemist [a master who refines spiritual herbs and materials into potent elixirs and pills].
As Violet Firmament Immortal Sage stepped onto the high platform, he swept his sleeve, revealing dozens of rare treasures. The majority were various Immortal Elixirs and Precious Medicines [pills and medicines of divine efficacy, capable of greatly enhancing cultivation or healing profound injuries], each one exceedingly rare.
Among these precious medicines, there were three Chaos Immortal Pill [a supreme-grade pill refined from primordial chaos energy, capable of greatly advancing one's cultivation] required by Eldrin Chen.
"Esteemed guests, the value of these immortal pills, I trust you all understand,"
Violet Firmament Immortal Sage [a title for a supremely powerful immortal sage] spoke slowly, then said with a smile, "If any of you possess rare and precious items, you may exchange them with me."
Eldrin Chen's thoughts stirred slightly. He immediately transmitted his voice, presenting the Vermilion Bird Heaven Seal [a divine seal imbued with the power of the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Symbols], the Dragon Pearl [a luminous pearl formed from the condensed essence of a dragon], the Ancient Kirin Sword [an ancient sword forged with the essence of the mythical Kirin], and also the Nine Heavens Silver River Star Sand Sword [a divine sword crafted from star sand gathered from the Silver River of the Nine Heavens] to offer in exchange.
After a glance, Violet Firmament Immortal Sage decisively shook his head and said, "Young friend, your treasures are not without value, yet they hold little use for me."
"If this is all you have to offer, then I must ask you to kindly withdraw."
Eldrin Chen sighed softly. Recalling that this Violet Firmament Immortal Sage possessed vast wealth and commanded five Chaos Spiritual Treasure [supreme treasures born from the primordial chaos], he realized ordinary Innate Supreme Treasure [treasures of the highest innate grade, born with the world] would likely not catch his eye.
Thus, after a moment of contemplation, he presented the Nine Dragons Supreme Treasure [a supreme treasure forged with the essence of nine dragons] and the Heaven and Earth Formation Diagram [a mystical diagram containing the profound principles of heaven and earth, used for formations] to Qiankun Sage Ascendant.
Violet Firmament Immortal Sage examined them once more, then nodded and said, "This Heaven and Earth Formation Diagram could be exchanged for one Chaos Immortal Pill. A pity, however, that this item holds little utility for this old man."
"As for that Nine Dragons Supreme Treasure, it does possess considerable merit."
With these words, Violet Firmament Immortal Sage paused briefly before continuing, "What if I were to exchange three Chaos Immortal Pill [a supreme immortal elixir of the Chaos Realm] for this set of array artifacts from you?"
Eldrin Chen let out a bitter laugh and replied, "Senior, once deployed in an array formation, this set of Nine Dragon Treasures [a set of nine powerful magical treasures] would possess power nearly equivalent to more than half of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure [a spiritual treasure of the primordial Chaos realm]."
"To exchange it for merely three Chaos Immortal Pill is far too low a price."
Violet Firmament Immortal Sage nodded thoughtfully. He scrutinized Eldrin Chen for a moment before speaking, "I observe that your foundation is but a single step away from achieving the Nine True Spirit Divine Patterns [the pinnacle state of nine divine patterns of the true spirit]."
"What if I add one Limit-Breaking Immortal Pill [an immortal elixir that aids in surpassing cultivation limits] to the offer?"
Eldrin Chen was inwardly shaken. The Limit-Breaking Immortal Pill was a supreme immortal elixir of the Chaos [the primordial, formless state from which all existence emerged] realm.
This elixir possessed the Limit-Breaking [the act of surpassing one's inherent cultivation limits] effect. Upon consumption, it could grant a practitioner of Sainthood through the Flesh [the path of achieving sainthood through physical body cultivation] who had cultivated eight True Spirit Divine Runes [divine runes representing the power of one's true spirit] a thirty percent chance of shattering the limits of their physical body.
The value of such an elixir was truly immeasurable, worth at least five Innate Supreme Treasure [supreme treasures born from the primordial chaos].
One must understand that an existence which had cultivated eight True Spirit Divine Runes, upon advancing further to achieve the Nine True Spirit Divine Patterns, would possess combat power rivaling an Invincible Sage Ascendant [a sage ascendant whose power is considered unrivaled].
After all, the ninth True Spirit Divine Rune could amplify one's physical combat prowess by ninety percent, an enhancement far too immense for a practitioner of Sainthood through the Flesh.
In comparison, the enhancement gained from cultivating one or two True Spirit Divine Form [a powerful divine ability that manifests one's true spiritual form] was considerably lower.
With this thought, Eldrin Chen did not hesitate in the slightest and spoke with decisive resolve: "My thanks, Senior. This junior is willing to make the trade."
So saying, Eldrin Chen decisively completed the transaction with Violet Firmament Immortal Sage [a title for a supremely powerful immortal sage].
After concluding this deal, Eldrin Chen had fulfilled the commission from Grand Turbid Daoist and had also obtained two Chaos Immortal Pill [a supreme elixir refined from primordial chaos energies] and one Limit-Breaking Immortal Pill [a legendary pill that helps cultivators break through seemingly insurmountable cultivation barriers]. He was, by all accounts, quite satisfied.
Following this, at the Treasure Exchange Grand Assembly [a grand gathering for the exchange of rare treasures], he used the Vermilion Bird Heaven Seal, the Dragon Pearl [a pearl containing immense draconic essence], the Ancient Kirin Sword, and the Nine Heavens Silver River Star Sand Sword as trade to acquire the final four portions of Chaos Rare Treasure [extremely rare materials born from primordial chaos].
Thus, the twelve great Chaos Rare Treasure required for the Ascension [the process of elevating a magical treasure to a higher grade] of the Abyssal Seal were also gathered.
With both major objectives accomplished, Eldrin Chen did not linger for a moment. Together with Indestructible Elder, he departed from the Blazing Central Chaos Domain and headed towards the Depths of Chaos [the most primordial and perilous regions of the chaotic void].
However, they had not traveled far before Eldrin Chen discovered over a dozen Sage Ascendant [cultivators who have ascended to the peak of the Sage realm, half a step from becoming Earth Immortals] encircling them. Leading them was none other than Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor.
"Let us fight our way out together!"
Indestructible Elder spoke, immediately commanding his Indestructible Divine Spear to pierce the heavens. He Eruption [unleashed his power in a sudden, violent burst] into a world-shaking battle against the assembled Sage Ascendant.
Without a moment's hesitation, Eldrin Chen urged the Primordial Chaos Heaven Halberd into a fierce battle against the foes of the Eight Desolations, fighting a desperate retreat step by step towards the Depths of Chaos.
In that moment, Eldrin Chen felt a surge of relief. Among these Sage Ascendant were several top-tier figures, and even two Invincible Sage Ascendant who had achieved Sainthood through the Flesh.
Had it not been for the aid of Indestructible Elder, Eldrin Chen feared he would have been forced to reveal the Chaos Void-Refining Vial [a legendary vessel capable of refining the void of chaos itself] merely to escape.
