Chapter 1890 : The Path of Primordial Spirit(Concept) is Bumpy

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but remark, "Who would have thought the Violet Immortal Lord still possessed this Calamity Fate Treasure Tree? It appears to stand apart from the 9 Violet Treasures."

Youwu nodded, then began to speak: "The Violet 9 Treasures consist of 6 supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures: the Refining Immortal Furnace (Magic Treasure), the Great Cosmos Vial (Magic Treasure), the Hourglass of Eternity (Magic Treasure), the 8 Trigrams Disc (Magic Treasure), the Heaven-Gazing Mirror (Magic Treasure), and the 9 Heavens Pure Yang Fan (Magic Treasure)."

"Additionally, there are 3 Primordial Treasures and Spiritual Roots—the Violet Sword, the Primordial Wasteland Pagoda, and the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree—yet I have never heard any news of this Primordial Tribulation Tree."

Eldrin nodded and said, "It seems he has been laying the groundwork for years, nurturing this Primordial Calamity Fate Tree with boundless tribulation energy and destiny."

As he spoke, Eldrin plucked the Innate Tribulation Fate Treasure Fruit.

After obtaining the treasure fruit, he still wished to uproot this Primordial Spiritual Root, only to discover it was utterly impossible to take It away.

Not only was the supreme spiritual root impossible to take, but even the innate treasure soil here could not be moved by Eldrin (Person Name) in the slightest.

It seems the Purple Immortal Lord had long been prepared, having already completely integrated this treasured tree and the Primordial Spirit Soil into the Purple Heaven.

Eldrin spoke with a tinge of regret, abandoning all other thoughts.

Alas, due to the influence of unseen forces, apart from this Innate Calamity Fate Divine Tree, no other divine herbs remained in this immortal medicine garden.

At this thought, Eldrin glanced at the Innate Tribulation Dao Fruit and casually handed it to Lyra, saying, "This object holds no more use for me. It would be better to entrust it to you."

Lyra took a deep breath upon hearing this, then pushed it back and said, "I have confidence in cultivating my True Spirit Primordial Soul. It would be better to keep this item."

Eldrin understood that Lyra was reluctant to part with this object, yet she still stored it away.

This Tribulation Fate Treasure Fruit guarantees the cultivation of a True Spirit Dao Fruit, yet 1 must also bear the burden of its calamitous power. Refining it will indeed allow 1 to attain the True Spirit Dao Fruit, but in doing so, 1 will inevitably be tainted by a path fraught with hardships and tribulations.

After all, the tribulation power within the treasure fruit was likely not so easily controlled.

After collecting the Calamity Fate Treasure Fruit, Eldrin said nothing more and immediately strode outward.

But at that very moment, he suddenly noticed a white-robed figure had been waiting outside for quite some time.

"Finally, I've found you."

The 3 Souls Sovereign slowly spoke, a faint smile glimmering in his eyes.

He looked at Eldrin with a faint smile and said, "The Calamity Fate Treasure Fruit—what a remarkable fortune you've encountered. Even I find myself rather covetous of it."

As he spoke, the 3 Souls Sovereign suddenly struck, unleashing a brilliant light that instantly formed a sealing array, locking down the entire expanse of heaven and earth.

Having completed all this, the 3 Souls Sovereign strolled forth and said with a placid expression, "This formation is called the 6 Trigrams Immortal-Severing Array. Unless a Great Luo Golden Immortal intervenes personally, no 1 in this world can breach it within a short time."

"Let us decide victory here and now, with life and death left to the heavens."

Eldrin smiled faintly and directly summoned the Crimson Flame Qi firefly. With a resonant clang, he pointed it at the 3 Souls Sovereign and declared, "Let's fight."

Excellent!

In an instant, both sides finally made their move.

The 3 Souls Sovereign unleashed his full combat prowess from the very outset, clashing with Eldrin (Person Name) in a cataclysmic battle of peerless divine might.

Eldrin also unleashed his full power, pushing the 5 True Spiritual Roots to their absolute limit.

In the blink of an eye, the 2 sides had exchanged over 3 1000 moves, and the 3 Soul Sovereign finally sensed something amiss.

"Impossible, how could he be this powerful?"

At this moment, the 3 Souls Sovereign was utterly astounded. Over a 100 1000 years ago, he had been able to completely overwhelm Eldrin in direct combat, yet now he could not gain even the slightest advantage.

The battle had raged to this point. After observing Eldrin (Person Name) intently for a long while, the 3-Soul Sovereign finally could no longer restrain himself and spoke, "Have you truly cultivated the foundation of the fifth major True Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)?"

"To die at the hands of 1 who possesses the 5 great True Spiritual Roots, your death is not in vain."

Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment. With a flick of his sleeve, he harnessed the power of his True Spirit Art to sweep across the 6 directions, this time pushing his abilities to their absolute limit.

Under Eldrin's full-powered eruption, his strength nearly surpassed the limits of 5 True Spiritual Roots, approaching the level of 6 True Spiritual Roots.

In the blink of an eye, the 3-Soul Sovereign was already forced into continuous retreat, completely overwhelmed by the onslaught.

"Damn it!"

6 Paths of Samsara Heavenly Art (Cultivation Method)

At that moment, the 3 Souls Sovereign erupted with unprecedented divine might, casting aside all reservations as he simultaneously unleashed 6 unique primordial spirit powers through his self-created secret art.

The might unleashed by the simultaneous activation of the 6 True Spirit Divine Abilities was truly astonishing. In mere moments, Eldrin (Person Name) was completely overwhelmed, reduced to a desperate and faltering defense.

Yet, even so, the 3-Soul Sovereign showed no joy. Instead, a trace of solemnity flickered across his face.

His injuries had yet to fully heal; if the battle could not be concluded swiftly, his condition might worsen.

The most crucial point was that the 6 Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art consumed an immense amount of energy. Even under normal circumstances, he could only simultaneously wield the 6 Paths True Spirit Divine Abilities for a very brief period. Given his current condition, he feared he could maintain his peak combat prowess for no more than 10 moves at most.

At that thought, 3 Souls Sovereign gritted his teeth and decisively activated the Sevenfold Immortal-Slaying Curse.

"Crack—"

In an instant, a clay figurine shot out from above the 3 Souls Sovereign’s head. The figurine abruptly shattered, immediately unleashing a sinister and vicious curse-light that surged toward Eldrin (Person Name).

But in that very instant, Eldrin's Primordial Immortal Body radiated a brilliant light, and a glazed barrier shimmering with the essence of Yin-Yang and starlight enveloped him, nearly perfectly deflecting the assault of this curse.

"Pfft—"

Failing to subdue the foe with a single strike, the 3 Souls Sovereign immediately suffered a backlash, violently coughing up a mouthful of soul blood. His aura instantly weakened by 20 to 30 percent.

His face paled with astonishment as he stared at Eldrin in disbelief. "You've actually mastered the Heaven's Mystery Divine Protection Art—a True Spirit-grade technique?"

"I anticipated this move of yours. It is poor manners to receive without returning—now taste my own technique!"

As Eldrin’s (Person Name) voice fell, a drop of soul-blood surged across the sky, instantly transforming into a spell-light of intertwined yin and yang before darting forth.

"Not good."

The moment he laid eyes on this curse-light, Emperor Sanhun’s heart dropped like a stone. But alas, it was already too late to evade.

In an instant, the curse light plunged into the 3 Souls Sovereign's body. The insidiously vicious Pure Yang Heavenly Flame and Profound Abyssal True Water intertwined, relentlessly corroding his physical form and primordial spirit. In the blink of an eye, his corporeal body was utterly annihilated.

Even his primordial spirit suffered unprecedented damage, and his aura weakened by another 30 percent.

What was even more terrifying was that the successive injuries had caused his original wounds to deteriorate further, leading to a rapid decline in his aura.

"I have lost."

In an instant, the 3 Soul Emperor's face turned deathly pale.

1 devastating defeat after another had pushed his injuries to the most critical state. With his current strength reduced to a mere 20 to 30 percent, how could he possibly stand against Eldrin?

Knowing his end was near, he drew a deep breath and turned his gaze to Eldrin. Suddenly, a wild elation broke across his face as he laughed, "So you too walk the same path!"

"Hahaha... 1 day, you too shall face the same hopeless fate as I."

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, instinctively slowing his striking motion as he gazed solemnly at the 3 Souls Sovereign. "Fellow Daoist, what prompts such words?"

The 3 Souls Sovereign let out a cold laugh. Seeing no need to conceal his intentions from Eldrin (Person Name), he spoke plainly, "It would be quite satisfying to let you taste despair."

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly as he quietly awaited the 3 Soul Sovereign's next words.

Seeing him remain unmoved, the 3 Souls Sovereign said with a light laugh, "You have already ignited the 4 Great True Spirit Acupoints, a feat worthy of being called the mark of a Soul Path Heavenly Emperor."

"But do you know why, among the 13 realms of the Northern and Southern Celestial Abyss, not a single soul has attained the Dao to become a Soul Dao Celestial Emperor?"

Eldrin (Person Name) froze for a fleeting moment before speaking earnestly, "I would be honored to hear the details."

For the talent of the Soul Emperor was far too terrifying, arousing the apprehension of the true powerhouses within the primordial chaos.

The 3 Souls Sovereign spoke, his expression tinged with sorrow as he said, "Throughout the vast chaos, Chaos Heavenly Emperors who have achieved sainthood through physical cultivation are indeed rare, yet they are not truly unheard of."

"Yet, to attain the Heavenly Emperor realm through the Primordial Spirit—not to mention the 13 Domains of the Chaotic Abyss, but even across the vast territories beyond it—no 1 has ever been heard to achieve such a feat."

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly, sensing the gravity of the situation for the first time.

Sure enough, Eldrin (Person Name) let out a derisive snort before stating, "That’s because those who achieve sainthood through physical cultivation are mostly blockheaded fools. They can only stubbornly pursue the path of bodily refinement, incapable of treading the Dao-governing path to pose any real threat to others."

"And as for the 1 whose primordial spirit has proven the Dao to become the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, do you truly believe He is incapable of mastering the Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin felt a chill run down his scalp.

Indeed, the Soul Emperor attained the Dao through his primordial spirit. For 1 who has cultivated a True Spirit Primordial Spirit, and even opened all 9 True Spirit Apertures—could such a being truly be incapable of mastering the Dao?

You must understand, the 9 true spirit apertures represent 9 Chaos-grade divine abilities. The profound mysteries contained within them may very well rival the comprehension of 9 great Daos.

This implies that 1 capable of proving the Dao and attaining the Heavenly Emperor of the Soul Path must possess astonishing comprehension in unraveling the Great Dao.

Imagine a Soul Emperor who, upon reaching the Chaos Realm, already stands at the pinnacle of power among the first-tier Chaos cultivators. What staggering advantages would such an existence possess were they to further cultivate the Great Dao and grasp its authority?

Such individuals, if they do not meet an untimely demise, possess at least 10 times greater certainty of breaking through to the second realm of Chaos compared to ordinary Chaos Heavenly Emperors. This alone is enough to instill fear in countless beings across the Chaos.

"In those years, this venerable 1 was still in the womb."

The Sovereign of 3 Souls slowly spoke, a trace of mockery coloring his expression. "There was a second-realm expert from the depths of chaos who, defying the Heavenly Dao of the Tri-Polar Primal Domain, forcibly cut me down midway through my ascension."

"Even my innate Chaos Soul Tome, a supreme treasure born alongside me, was utterly cleaved into 3 fragments by him, completely annihilating my qualification to attain the Dao through primordial spirit cultivation."

The 3 Souls Sovereign murmured slowly, his gaze tinged with a trace of despair and overwhelming hatred.

He looked at Eldrin and sneered, "In the 13 Domains of the Celestial Abyss, I am neither the first nor the last to face calamity."

"As far as I know, over these years in the Northern and Southern Celestial Abyss, the number of budding Soul Path Heavenly Emperors it has eradicated is no fewer than the count of both hands."

"So do not rejoice too soon. With your innate talent, should you continue down this path, you will inevitably draw His attention. When that time comes, your foundation will be utterly shattered, and you shall suffer the same fate as I."

Eldrin took a deep breath upon hearing this.

He pondered for a long while before finally speaking, "Under what circumstances would 1 attract the attention of that individual?"

The 3 Souls Sovereign’s smile faded, replaced by an expression of utmost gravity. “Since time immemorial, those who have cultivated 7 True Spirit Acupoints have almost all met their end at His hands.”

"Once you cultivate the seventh True Spirit Aperture, unless you find a backer like the Demon Emperor—a half-step Second Realm expert—no 1 can save you, not even if you hide within the Primordial Realm."

7 True Spirit Acupoints, what could even a being of Chaos Demon Emperor's caliber rely on?

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, for in this moment he finally understood.

Once 1 successfully cultivates the 7 great True Spirit Acupoints, they would inevitably fall victim to the lethal schemes of that Chaos Second Realm expert.

Only a half-step Second Realm expert like the Chaos Demon Emperor, empowered by the Primordial Domain, could barely contend against this individual.

Yet he was a powerhouse at the half-step Second Realm of Chaos. Across the 13 Domains of the Northern and Southern Celestial Abyss, only the Chaos Devil Emperor had reached such heights today.

Among the others, whether it was the Primordial Divine Emperor, the Primordial Dao Ancestor, or even the Solar Divine Emperor, none had reached this realm—they were merely somewhat close to it at best.

"It seems the disparity between each realm within the 3 Realms of Chaos is far greater than I had ever imagined."

Eldrin took a deep breath, finally turning his gaze to the Monarch of 3 Souls as he said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I will surely bear this matter in mind."

"Hmph—"

The Sovereign of 3 Souls let out a cold sneer before speaking, "To be defeated by you today, this seat has no grievances about the loss."

"Make your move now. After several kalpas, I shall surely return. There will come a day when we cross blades again."

Eldrin nodded slightly, then immediately summoned the Primordial Chaos Divine Thunder, scattering the already severely damaged soul of the 3 Souls Sovereign.

After the fall of the 3 Souls Sovereign, an exceptionally powerful Dao Origin was left behind.

Eldrin received it into his hand and remarked with some astonishment, "The quality of this Dao Origin is unlike any I have witnessed in my lifetime. If entrusted to a suitable individual for refinement, it would most likely cultivate a True Spirit Primordial Soul."

At this moment, Youwu gazed at the Dao Origin with blazing eyes, yet ultimately shook her head in regret. She understood perfectly well that Eldrin had obtained this treasure through his own efforts—she had no right to claim this Dao Origin.

Both Eldrin and Lyra had already cultivated their True Spirit Primordial Souls, and their Samsara Bodies had also become Vessels for My True Spirit. Thus, this object was of little use anymore.

He cast a brief glance around and noticed that both Seraphina Qu (Person Name) and the 9-Colored Immortal Deer were well-suited for this rare treasure.

Considering that the 9-Colored Immortal Deer could fuse with the Primordial Immortal Light, Eldrin still entrusted this treasure to Seraphina Qu.

However, Eldrin did not allow Seraphina Qu to enter seclusion. With the 3 Soul Sovereign having fallen, no 1 else could pose a threat to him anymore. The crucial task now was to locate the legacy left behind by the Violet Immortal Lord.

"Let us go and witness the legacy of Purple Immortal Lord."

Eldrin spoke with an air of detachment, then immediately stepped out of the Immortal Herb Garden and ventured toward the depths of the Violet Heaven.

At this moment, Eldrin suddenly sensed it—a profound, predestined opportunity calling to him from the very heart of the Violet Heaven.

So he followed his instincts and, before he knew it, arrived deep within the Violet Heaven, standing before a magnificent great hall.

Just as they arrived before the hall, its great doors slowly swung open, as if having awaited their arrival for a long time.

Seeing this, Eldrin could not help but remark with a hint of enlightenment.

"It seems we are bound by fate."
