Chapter 1887 : Soul Emperor of 3 Realms

Chapter 1,888 3 Soul Sovereign 6,500 Words "A single favor?"

Hearing this, Tianxing (Person Name) gave a faint smile but remained silent.

Seeing this, the Violetstar Sword Extreme spoke up, "Since you have broken through, Fellow Daoist, let us set out now."

Eldrin (Person Name) also nodded and immediately strode forward.

Then, the 8 of them proceeded along the ancient path, traversing the vast and boundless chaos until they unknowingly drew near the heart of the Endless Chaotic Abyss.

At this moment, it had already been over a 100 1000 years since they set foot into the Chaotic Abyss.

Just as they approached the center of the Chaotic Heavenly Abyss, they spotted a group of ancient immortals fleeing back in their direction. Each of them wore expressions of terror and despair, as if they had witnessed some unimaginable horror beyond all resistance.

Everyone exchanged glances. Ziyao Jianji (Magical Treasure) swiftly stepped forward to block the person ahead and asked, "What happened up ahead? Why the panic?"

His face was etched with sheer terror, but upon recognizing the newcomer as the successor of the Violet Radiance Sword, his tension eased slightly. He spoke urgently, "The Celestial Emperor's Altar at the heart of the Chaotic Abyss is about to open, but the fiends from the Northern Abyss Outerlands have already seized the initiative."

"His Majesty the Imperial Confucian led us to seize the opportunity, only to be decisively defeated by a Flame Deity-Demon from the opposing side. Our losses were equally devastating."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) slightly furrowed his brow.

Not long before, Huang Ru, the 9 Luminaries Celestial Lord of Boundless Extremes, and the Sacred Demon Heavenly Monarch, among others, had arrived near the Chaos Heavenly Abyss. Upon the Ascension Platform, they had engaged in an initial confrontation with the forces from the Outer Realm.

After the battle, the Imperial Confucian nearly perished, surviving only with the aid of Sage Devil Celestial Lord and others.

At this thought, Eldrin did not hesitate in the slightest. He instantly transformed into a streak of light and shot deeper into the Chaotic Heavenly Path. Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit.

Moving with incredible speed, the group soon traversed the Chaotic Heavenly Abyss and arrived at the heart of the Endless Chaos.

Yet in the heart of the Chaotic Heavenly Abyss, a magnificent ancient continent drifted amidst the swirling void, its expanse so vast it nearly rivaled the Immortal Ruins Ancient Continent itself.

"This is 1 of the 7 fragments of the Primordial Realm of Immortals, and also the very core of the Ancient Heavenly Abyss Path."

Gazing upon this ancient continent, the Violet Radiance Sword murmured in an extremely low voice, a trace of solemnity flashing across his expression.

Eldrin nodded slightly and said, "Let us first proceed to the Celestial Emperor’s Terrace."

As the words fell, he stepped directly into the Primordial Domain of Immortal Cosmos and flew straight toward the Celestial Emperor's Platform.

When Eldrin arrived at the Celestial Emperor's Terrace, he found its periphery occupied by a group of foreign Ancient Immortals, while several 100 Eighth Tribulation Ancient Immortals from the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss stood not far away.

Among these ancient immortals, the leaders were the Sacred Demon Heavenly Lord and the Supreme 9 Luminaries Divine Lord, among others.

Seeing Eldrin and the others arrive, these people couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief. The Limitless 9 Luminaries Godlord immediately spoke up, "The Celestial Emperor's Terrace is about to open. Had you arrived any later, this place would have been seized by our opponents."

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this. Tianxing (Person Name) spoke up at just the right moment: "The so-called Celestial Emperor's Terrace refers to the former celestial dao field of the Primordial Realm's Celestial Emperor in the Immortal Cosmos."

Legend has it that opportunities left behind by the Celestial Emperor of the Primordial Domain of Immortal Cosmos remain within. Though these had been scoured repeatedly by various Dao Ancestors long ago, for the 8 Tribulation Ancient Immortals present, it remained an exceptionally rare cultivation sanctuary.

"An ideal cultivation site?"

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly, a trace of astonishment flashing within them.

The Violet Radiance Sword Extreme also spoke up, his expression grave as he stated, "This place contains the Dao Charm of the Celestial Emperor. If a fated individual cultivates here and obtains even a single wisp of this Dao Charm, they will undergo a complete metamorphosis."

"Even for True Spirit prodigies such as ourselves, obtaining a wisp of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Essence could slightly enhance our chances of establishing a True Spiritual Root foundation."

At this point, the Violet Radiance Sword remarked, "However, 1 must ascend the Celestial Emperor's Altar to have any chance of gaining the recognition of the Celestial Emperor's Dao Essence. Otherwise, no matter how prodigious 1's talents may be, it would be impossible to obtain the Celestial Emperor's Dao Essence."

Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Essence is limited, allowing at most 1 100 and 8 individuals to ascend the platform at a time.

"It seems a fight is unavoidable."

Eldrin nodded calmly, his gaze fixed upon the Celestial Emperor's Platform ahead.

Before the Heavenly Emperor's Terrace stood thousands of powerful foreign experts, each radiating an extraordinary aura. Among them were those who had forged indestructible foundations, making their strength truly formidable.

Yet before the crowd, 12 individuals stood out with exceptional might—all had established foundations through cultivating True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root).

The Violetglow Sword murmured in an extremely low voice, speaking to Eldrin (Person Name), "I suppose you don't know many of them, so let me give you an introduction."

In this foreign realm, the True Demon Primordial Domain and the Chaos Tribulation Domain stand as the most powerful, giving rise to the greatest number of heaven’s favored sons. Of the 12 prodigies, 6 hail from these 2 domains.

"The Primordial Domain of 10 1000 Demons, the Primordial Domain of Chaotic Flames, the Primordial Domain of Chaotic Frost, and the Primordial Domain of Evil Spirits—each possesses no more than 4 or 5 Chaotic Heavenly Emperors at most, and their overall strength falls slightly short in comparison."

As the introduction of the Violet Abyss Sword concluded, Eldrin soon gained a preliminary understanding of the 12 chosen prodigies of the foreign realm's True Spirit lineage.

Within the 6 Domains of the Northern Abyss, the Primordial Demon Domain reigns supreme. This lineage alone boasts 10 Chaos Demon Lords, their power truly unfathomable.

The Domain of Primordial Thunder Tribulation was slightly less formidable, yet it still boasted 7 Primordial Ancestral Gods. It was said that the founding ancestor of this lineage had once single-handedly defeated an alliance of 4 Primordial Heavenly Emperors, establishing himself as a force second only to the Otherworldly Demon Emperor.

The Netherworld Primal Domain ranks third, with 5 Chaos Nether Emperors. The Myriad Demons Primal Domain ranks fourth, guarded by 4 Chaos Demon Lords.

Both the Chaotic Inferno Domain and the Chaotic Glacial Domain were strikingly similar, each upheld by only 1 Chaos Ancestral God to anchor their destinies. Yet, the strength of neither could be underestimated.

Among the 12 prodigies of the Northern Abyss 6 Domains this time, 4 possessed single True Spiritual Root foundations: 'Profound Yin' and 'Demonic Sun' from the Primordial Domain of True Demons, 'Soul Refiner' from the Primordial Domain of 10 1000 Demons, and 'Thunderfire Saint Spirit' from the Domain of Chaotic Heavenly Tribulations.

There are 3 individuals with dual True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root): 'Earth Yin' and 'Heavenly Fiend' from the Malevolent Spirit Primordial Domain, along with 'Soul Annihilator' from the 10 1000 Demons Primordial Domain.

3 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) were also manifested by 4 individuals: the Flame Prison Sovereign (Person Name) from the Primordial Flame Domain, the Frost Sparrow Sacred Spirit (Person Name) from the Primordial Frost Domain, the Thunder Zenith Sacred Spirit (Person Name) from the Primordial Thunder Tribulation Domain, and the Slaughter Heaven Demon Lord (Person Name) from the True Demon Primordial Domain.

These 11 individuals were all unprecedented geniuses in terms of strength, yet none could evoke astonishment in Eldrin.

What truly troubled Eldrin was that final, supreme individual.

His snow-white robes fluttered, his features so exquisite he seemed untouched by mortal dust. He stood in tranquil silence, as if the very axis of the primordial cosmos.

"You have come."

The man in white murmured, gazing at Eldrin with a faint smile. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"It's him, didn't he die?"

The moment he laid eyes on this person, a subtle shift crossed Ziyao Jianji’s expression, revealing a flicker of astonishment.

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly and couldn't help but ask, "What is his background?"

In the final years of the Primordial Era, there existed the foremost master of the Primordial Chaos known as the 3 Souls Sovereign.

The Violet Radiance Sword Sovereign spoke, his expression shifting slightly. "In the primordial era, He had already attained the Great Perfection of the Chaos Origin Emperor. Legends say He was born from the artifact spirit of the Tripartite Tome of Chaos, a peerless genius of the primordial soul lineage."

"The Primordial Patriarch of the Great Pot once intended to guide it toward enlightenment, yet it refused, declaring its own path to prove the Dao of Soul as Celestial Emperor."

"Later, for reasons unknown, they vanished into the primordial chaos. Who could have imagined they would now fall into demonic cultivation, even reaching the Eighth Tribulation Ancient Immortal realm through reincarnated cultivation?"

As the Violet Heaven Sword Extreme continued his account, Eldrin quickly grasped the identity of the man before him.

It turned out that this individual was the artifact spirit that had escaped when the Primordial 3 Souls Scripture once split into the Heaven, Earth, and Human Volumes. Embarking on the path of cultivation, its talent in the Dao of Primordial Spirit was unparalleled throughout history, ultimately achieving perfection at the Great Perfection stage of the Chaos Origin Emperor.

Yet for reasons unknown, he had now reincarnated and embarked on the demonic path, crossing paths with Eldrin once more.

"So you are the reincarnation of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure embryo. No wonder you recognized my esteemed self."

Having his identity exposed by the Violet Abyss Sword, the 3 Souls Sovereign showed no surprise. He had once been the artifact spirit of a complete Chaos Spiritual Artifact—compared to him, the Violet Abyss Sword was merely a fledgling.

However, the 3 Souls Sovereign gazed at Eldrin, a trace of admiration flickering in his eyes as he nodded slightly and said, "I have spared no effort in reincarnating and cultivating anew, waiting through tens of thousands of kalpas, and have finally found the 1 I sought."

"What a formidable True Spirit Divine Soul! You truly live up to your reputation as a heaven-sent prodigy. Once I devour your divine soul, the foundation for my ascension as the Soul Dao Celestial Emperor shall be forged."

As the words fell, the 3 Soul Emperor gazed at Eldrin with a faint smile. In that very instant, he swept his sleeve and unleashed a palm strike to suppress him.

"Not good."

Eldrin’s heart sank, a foreboding premonition washing over him. He immediately channeled all his power into the Primordial Chaos Grasping Hand to defend himself, yet a surge of overwhelming divine force sent him hurtling backward.

This 3 Souls Sovereign possessed talent rarely seen since time immemorial. The moment he struck, his combat prowess surpassed the limits of 4 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root), even reaching the level of 5 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root).

"Be careful."

Witnessing this scene, You Wu’s expression shifted drastically as she warned, “The Chaos 3 Souls Tome technique seizes a person’s Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Souls, while the demonic path’s methods can plunder 1’s foundation. When the 2 are combined, they can devour your foundational reserves to elevate the caster’s own power.”

Eldrin's heart quaked with immense shock. He immediately channeled the full power of his 4 True Spiritual Roots to resist, unleashing Chaos Divine Lightning, Primordial Chaos Qi, and 5-Colored Divine Radiance in a furious clash. In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged over 30 moves.

"3 True Spirit Acupoints. Excellent, truly excellent."

The Trinity Emperor’s face lit up with astonishment and delight. Through the arcane secrets of the Tome of Primordial Trinity Souls, he had preserved a portion of his foundational cultivation from his past life before undergoing reincarnation. Though he now stood at the realm of an 8-Tribulations Ancient Immortal, he possessed a full 6 True Spirit Acupoints, each granting him a unique True Spirit Divine Ability.

At this moment, as the 3 Souls Sovereign exerted his full power, 6 streams of True Spirit divine might instantly swept across heaven and earth. Each strike carried the force to annihilate all creation, overwhelmingly suppressing Eldrin and forcing him into continuous retreat…

Yet in less than 1 100 moves, Eldrin was forced into continuous retreat.

"Damn it."

Eldrin's face contorted wildly. Though the 3 Soul Emperor cultivated only the foundation of his primordial spirit, his strength was terrifyingly formidable.

The 6 Harmony Array formed by the 6 true spirit acupoints elevated his primordial spirit to over 5 times that of a true spirit primordial spirit. Wielding the 6 great true spirit divine abilities with such a soul, he could effortlessly dominate all realms beneath the heavens and roam the 9 Heavens and 10 Earths without match.

"Do not fear. Once I devour your True Spirit Primordial Soul and the 3 Great True Spirit Divine Abilities, I shall have the opportunity to glimpse the realm of the Soul Dao Heavenly Emperor in the future."

"To become a part of the Soul Emperor, you should consider it an honor."

The 3 Souls Sovereign's eyes blazed with fervent light as streams of primordial divine power pierced through the vast chaos. Each strike carried the force to annihilate all existence, sweeping forth with such overwhelming might that even Eldrin found it nearly impossible to withstand them completely.

"The Hexa-Soul Rune Formation, wielding power quintessential to the True Spirit Soul, rivals the foundational might of the 5 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root)."

"With my current power, it would still be difficult to withstand it head-on."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, his eyes revealing an expression of utmost gravity.

In the face of a qualitative gap, even though Eldrin's foundation was hailed as unparalleled throughout the ages, he found it difficult to confront it head-on for the moment.

It was not that he was not powerful enough, but rather that the soul techniques of the 3 Souls Sovereign were far too extraordinary. He had preserved the greater part of his foundation and reserves to reincarnate, even going so far as to tread the path of demonic cultivation, all for the sake of merging demonic arts with soul techniques to create a secret method that could seize others' foundations and reserves to replenish his own primordial spirit.

With such profound foundations, he had waited in the Chaotic Heavenly Path for tens of thousands of kalpas, all for a peerless prodigy endowed with the potential to become a supreme Dao Ancestor.

Thus, once successful, plundering the foundation of a powerful foe would greatly increase the hope of cultivating the 9 True Spirit Acupoints.

According to the 3 Souls Sovereign's estimation, if he could devour Eldrin, he would undoubtedly succeed in cultivating the seventh True Spirit Acupoint. Moreover, the bottlenecks for later cultivating the eighth or even the ninth True Spirit Acupoint would be significantly reduced.

Boom—

Just as Eldrin was locked in fierce combat with the 3 Souls Sovereign, earth-shattering battles erupted among all those present.

A group of true spirit prodigies from the Northern and Southern Celestial Abyss clashed fiercely, yet the cultivators from the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss found themselves at a disadvantage.

Because the Northern Abyss had 11 True Spirit prodigies, while the Southern Abyss’s 7 domains only had 8 True Spiritual Roots present: Purple Empyrean Sword Extreme, Heaven’s Punishment, Grand Cosmos, Sacred Demon Heavenly Lord, Non-Polar 9 Luminaries True Lord, Imperial Confucian, Lyra (Person Name), and the Samsara Incarnation.

Most crucially, the 6 Domains of Northern Abyss boasted 4 Triple True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) prodigies: the Blaze Prison Sage Lord, the Frost Sparrow Sacred Spirit, the Thunder Zenith Sacred Spirit, and the Demon-Slaying Devil Sovereign. Their pinnacle combat prowess simply surpassed others by far too great a margin.

Thus, from the very outset of this battle, everyone was plunged into an absolute disadvantage.

"Not good."

Eldrin channeled his entire cultivation base, pushing his combat power to the absolute limit of his 4 True Spiritual Roots. Yet under the onslaught of the 3 Soul Sovereign, he continued to retreat step by step. Seeing that resistance remained futile, a trace of urgency finally surfaced in his expression.

"This cannot go on any longer. I must break this stalemate to seize even a sliver of victory."

Eldrin murmured, a flicker of determination gleaming in his eyes.

But then, in a sudden turn, he unleashed all his divine abilities against the 3 Soul Emperor, revealing a trace of desperate resolve.

At this moment, seeing Eldrin ready to stake his life, the 3 Souls Sovereign revealed a faint smile once more.

By this point in the great battle, barely 3 1000 moves had been exchanged, yet he already understood that Eldrin's strength was undoubtedly no match for his own.

This was an absolute disparity that could not be bridged by ordinary means, unless Eldrin possessed some heaven-defying, ultimate trump card.

"It seems this venerable 1's wish is finally about to be fulfilled."

The 3 Souls Sovereign murmured in his heart, a ripple of emotion flickering in his gaze.

In truth, his origins ran far deeper than anyone could fathom. He was originally the destined Netherworld Dao Ancestor from the Primordial Tripartite Realm, who had fallen during gestation due to a meticulously laid scheme against him.

After his fall, his remnant soul merged with the artifact spirit of the Primordial 3 Souls Tome, seeking to cling to life by any means necessary.

Unfortunately, the 1 who struck was even more formidable than he had imagined. Bearing the threefold primordial karma of the Heavenly Dao, that individual forcibly split the Chaos Tripartite Soul Tome into 3 fragments, seeking to utterly annihilate his primordial spirit.

Later, due to the intervention of the Otherworldly Demon Emperor, he barely managed to preserve a fragment of his primordial spirit and embarked on the path of cultivation.

As the manifested artifact spirit of the Chaos Tri-Soul Tome and the reincarnated cultivation of the Netherworld Dao Ancestor, he was a prodigious talent in the soul arts lineage. By all reasoning, he possessed the potential to achieve the realm of the Soul Dao Celestial Emperor.

Alas, due to the fragmentation of the Chaos 3 Souls Scripture into 3 parts, his foundation remained imperfect. Thus, even after cultivating arduously for over a million kalpas, he still failed to ignite the seventh True Spirit acupoint, remaining stagnant at the ninth layer of the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm without any breakthrough.

This time, with the support of the Infernal Demon Emperor, he underwent rebirth cultivation once more, merging the Dao of 3 Souls with the Devouring Dao controlled by the Infernal Demon Emperor. He pioneered a method to devour others' foundations to replenish his own, all to mend the flaws within him.

"This individual's aptitude is even more astonishing than that of many Chaos Heavenly Emperors. Once fully grown, they might become a figure on par with the Primordial Beginning or the Primal Genesis."

"Once I devour him, I shall surely mend my foundation. My hope of proving the Dao and becoming the Soul Dao Celestial Emperor will be greatly enhanced."

"This Venerable 1 has paid a tremendous price and made solemn vows to borrow a fragment of the Devouring Dao's authority from the Demon Emperor. There is but 1 opportunity to devour a foundation—this chance must not be missed."

The 3 Souls Sovereign thought to himself, his gaze growing increasingly murderous. He harnessed the 6 Paths True Spirit Divine Ability to suppress Eldrin (Person Name).

Yet Eldrin (Person Name) wore a desperate expression, abruptly channeling the power of his 3 True Spirit Divine Abilities to clash with him for a fleeting moment before suddenly fleeing into the distance.

"You've fallen right into my trap."

Seeing Eldrin attempt to flee, the 3 Soul Sovereign revealed a smile.

In a flash, he transformed into a stream of light and appeared before Eldrin (Person Name), saying with a faint smile, "You cannot escape."

"Now."

In that very instant, Eldrin abruptly made his move, summoning a 9-Orifice Chaos Furnace to suppress the space.

The moment his gaze fell upon the 9-Aperture Chaos Furnace, the 3-Soul Emperor initially paid it no mind. Yet as his vision focused and he truly saw this divine cauldron, his countenance shifted dramatically.

Root Origin Treasure!

"Damn it—"

In that fleeting moment, the 3 Souls Sovereign had no chance to evade. Instantly struck into a bloody arc across the sky, over half of his indestructible primordial spirit was utterly annihilated.

"Pfft—"

With a final agonized shriek, the 3 Souls Sovereign transformed into a stream of light, fleeing into the distant void.

At the moment of parting, he shot Eldrin a look of pure hatred, his heart overflowing with boundless regret.

He is the reincarnation of a Divine Monarch, possessing the self-created secret art ‘6 Paths of Samsara Celestial Art’. Once activated, it allows him to harness the divine powers of 6 primordial spirits to sweep across all realms, sufficient to suppress this primordial treasure.

"Alas, in my severely wounded state, I can no longer activate it," he murmured, bitterness welling up within him. "To think you've actually cultivated a Genesis Artifact—truly, you are the peerless prodigy I always believed you to be."

"However, sustaining injuries from your ambush was merely due to my own carelessness. I have yet to unleash my world-suppressing supreme arts. Once recovered, I shall return to seek enlightenment through battle with you."

As the words faded, the 3 Soul Sovereign had already vanished beyond the horizon.

At the same time, Eldrin summoned his primordial treasure, the Hengkong, and instantly smashed it toward the Frost Sparrow Sacred Spirit besieging the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss. The impact immediately annihilated its physical form, reducing even its indestructible primordial spirit to ashes.

"Go, quickly."

At the same time, the other prodigies from the Northern Abyss Domains witnessed Eldrin unleashing his overwhelming power, their faces filled with astonishment. In an instant, they transformed into streaks of light and vanished beyond the horizon.

Just as the crowd dispersed, the 9-Orifice Chaos Furnace slowly shattered, dissipating into the vast expanse between heaven and earth.

Eldrin's face turned deathly pale, his legs nearly buckling beneath him as he almost collapsed to the ground.

Lyra and Seraphina Qu immediately rushed forward, steadying him protectively behind them while casting intensely grave glances around them.

"How are you?"

"It's nothing serious."

Eldrin spoke, his face pale as he said, "However, once the Root Origin Artifact is activated, my vital energy will be severely depleted. Without celestial treasures or spirit medicines, I fear it will be difficult to recover for millions of years to come."

"Give this a try."

The 9-Colored Immortal Deer hurried over, took out the 9-Colored Immortal Vase, and poured some 9-Colored Immortal Elixir to feed Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin took 3 large gulps in succession. Instantly, he felt the 9 primordial forces within his body surge violently, continuously mending his foundation and replenishing his vital energy. Within moments, the majority of his depleted vitality had been restored.

Soon, Eldrin opened his eyes and spoke, "The 9-Colors Immortal Elixir truly lives up to its reputation as a divine medicine capable of restoring nearly all injuries of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Its efficacy is truly extraordinary."

"My vitality has mostly recovered now, but it's a pity I cannot wield the Genesis Artifact again in the short term, lest it damage my foundation."

Everyone’s faces darkened with worry upon hearing this.

The Ninefold Firmament Divine Lord of Infinity took a deep breath before speaking, "The 3 Souls Sovereign Emperor's power is far too formidable. If you cannot activate the Primordial Artifact, I fear you stand no chance against him."

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before speaking, "He was wounded by a Root Treasure, far more severely than I. Injuries to the Primordial Spirit are the most difficult to heal. Even if he possessed the supreme Great Luo Immortal Elixir, it would likely take at least 1 to 2 100 1000 years before he could regain combat capability."

At this point, Eldrin's brow furrowed with solemnity.

Although Eldrin had emerged victorious in the previous battle, his triumph was achieved through clever stratagems rather than overwhelming force.

In their head-on confrontation, Eldrin was completely suppressed from start to finish. Empowered by his True Spirit Primordial Soul, those 6 True Spirit Divine Abilities possessed nearly unstoppable force. Had it been any other cultivator with 4 True Spiritual Roots, they would have been slain long ago.

Even Eldrin (Person Name) stood utterly defenseless before him...

If not for the ambush that dealt him a severe blow, even a Root Artifact might not have been enough to defeat him. After all, Root Artifacts are highly unstable and can only sustain their combat power for a very brief period.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but speak out: "Before his injuries recover, I must cultivate True Spirit Magical Power, otherwise I won't stand a chance in battle."

Eldrin spoke these words, then turned his gaze once more toward the Dao Source within the arena.

In this battle, all those present paid a tremendous price. Dozens of ancient immortals from the Southern Abyss fell in combat, among them beings who had forged indestructible foundations.

The 6 Domains of Northern Abyss also suffered significant losses, most critically the loss of the Frost Sparrow Saint—a cultivator who had established a foundation with 3 True Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root)—slain by Eldrin (Person Name).

Eldrin directly took hold of the Frost Sparrow Sacred Spirit’s Dao Origin. This Frost Sparrow Sacred Spirit had cultivated 3 True Spiritual Roots as its foundation, 1 of which was True Spirit Magic Power—capable of accelerating the speed at which Eldrin could master True Spirit Magic Power.

The others followed suit and swiftly cleared the battlefield.

"Boom—"

It was at this moment that the Celestial Emperor Terrace began to radiate streams of light, gradually revealing itself before the crowd.

The moment he laid eyes on the Celestial Emperor's Altar, Eldrin spoke, "Do not overthink it. First, we must ascend the Celestial Emperor's Altar to comprehend the Dao Essence of the Celestial Emperor. If we can advance even 1 step further, it will strengthen our chances against the extradimensional foes."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon seeing this.

The Celestial Emperor's Terrace offered only 108 slots, yet over 500 prodigies from the 7 domains of Southern Abyss stood present. Ultimately, they resolved to determine eligibility through martial prowess.

Eldrin (Person Name) need not be mentioned, having directly secured the first spot.

Seraphina Qu (Person Name), Lyra (Person Name), the Reincarnation Body, and the 9-Colored Immortal Deer all possessed True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) foundations or had cultivated over 5 indestructible foundations. Their inclusion among the selected was naturally anticipated.

Youwu also possessed a supreme dual Indestructible Foundation, yet her victory in this battle was hard-won, barely securing the 1 100 and fifth rank. She had nearly missed obtaining a qualification.

The truth was, far too many prodigies were present. Nearly half of those who could ascend the platform were geniuses with at least 3 Annihilation Foundations. Those with only Dual Annihilation Foundations truly couldn't claim a guaranteed entry.

To return to our story, as the group stepped onto the platform, the Celestial Emperor's Terrace was instantly bathed in overwhelming celestial light.

Everyone looked over and immediately discovered 3,000 wisps of Heavenly Emperor's Dao Rhyme materializing before them.

Without hesitation, Eldrin took a deep breath, immediately noticing nearly a 1000 strands of Heavenly Emperor's Dao Charm rushing toward him like moths drawn to flame.

"Bzzz—"

As the Heavenly Emperor's Dao charm infused his body, Eldrin was instantly struck by a deafening roar, and a vision akin to the primordial separation of heaven and earth unfolded within his mind.
