Chapter 2041 : Clash of Divine Blades and Unyielding Shields
The Sea of Blood Divine Sword [a divine blade of immense power, steeped in both righteous and baleful energies] was forged from a single piece of Sea of Blood Divine Crystal [a legendary crimson crystal born from oceans of blood], making it a peerless Innate Supreme Treasure [a treasure of primordial origin, unparalleled in its might]. As the Sea of Blood Great Emperor swept his blade forward, boundless sword energy surged forth like an endless, roaring Sea of Blood [a legendary crimson ocean of immense spiritual power].
This sword brimmed with boundless bloodthirsty malice, capable of devouring the flesh, blood, and bones of its victims. Its power was of a rare and overwhelming ferocity. Even a Great Emperor [a supreme cultivator who has ascended to rule over vast cosmic domains] facing this strike head-on would risk severe injury or utter annihilation.
Eldrin Chen found himself besieged by five Great Emperor Soul Slaves [powerful cultivators whose souls have been enslaved and bound to serve a greater master]. The pressure was immense, and now, under the relentless Slaughter [a divine art focused on overwhelming offensive power] of the Sea of Blood Great Emperor, he felt a truly formidable threat closing in.
Fortunately, the Returning Abyss Divine Rune [a divine protective sigil that creates a vortex of defensive energy] and the Black Tortoise Shield [a legendary defensive technique manifesting the shell of the mythical Black Tortoise] proved truly Extraordinary. Despite the ceaseless onslaught of these mighty foes, Eldrin Chen managed to hold his ground, parrying blow after blow, remaining unvanquished.
The Sea of Blood Patriarch pressed his assault for what felt like millions of years, yet he found he could neither suppress nor seriously wound Eldrin Chen. He could not even manage to seal him away. A flicker of despair began to gnaw at his resolve.
"How is it possible you cannot be slain? Just how many defensive Art of Divine Subjugation [a supreme cultivation art focused on divine-level defense and suppression] runes have you cultivated?"
Even the Soul-Refiner Patriarch [a patriarch infamous for his mastery over soul arts] was encountering such an opponent for the first time. He repeatedly attempted to suppress Eldrin Chen, only to find a hazy Chaos Light [a luminous aura of primordial chaos energy] shimmering around Eldrin's form, which seemed to simply ignore all attempts at confinement.
As this realization dawned, the Soul-Refiner Patriarch recalled a legend. Shock etched his features as he spoke, his voice trembling with disbelief. "The True Spirit Divine Runes [divine sigils representing the ultimate truths of primordial spirits] you have manifested... could they possibly be the legendary Chaos Divine Rune [the primordial divine rune embodying the essence of chaos itself]?"
"Heh."
Eldrin Chen offered no answer, merely maintaining his cold smile as he bought himself precious time.
The hearts of all present jolted with alarm. Though none had ever witnessed the Chaos Divine Rune firsthand, they had all heard of the fearsome reputation of the Ultimate Divine Rune [the pinnacle of divine rune arts, said to grant near-immortality].
Seeing this, the Soul-Refiner Patriarch spoke with decisive finality, "He has cultivated the Ultimate Divine Rune. Even if we join forces, we cannot kill him."
"Ignore him. Let us first shatter the grand formation and capture the Indestructibility Ancient One."
The Sea of Blood Patriarch understood this as well. He immediately summoned a cataclysmic tide of the Sea of Blood [a legendary ocean of blood and malice] to engulf the heavens, intent on utterly annihilating the Formation [a complex array of energy channels and symbols used for defense or attack].
At that very moment, five figures emerged in succession from within the formation's core.
These five were none other than the Immortality Great Emperor, the Sword Abyss Great Emperor, and the three other Great Emperor [a supreme title for cultivators who have reached the apex of power]—Tai Ming, Jie Guang, and Qing Xiao.
Among these five mighty Great Emperor, all except the Tribulation Light Great Emperor wielded an Innate Supreme Treasure [a primordial artifact of unparalleled power, born with the cosmos itself].
They rode forth upon their Innate Supreme Treasure, a celestial charge that intercepted the Sea of Blood Great Emperor. "Leave him to us," they declared to Eldrin Chen.
Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. Four of these five wielded Innate Supreme Treasure, their combined combat prowess nearly equivalent to eight or nine ordinary Great Emperor.
With such strength, dealing with the Sea of Blood Great Emperor was more than sufficient. Yet, by Eldrin Chen's estimation, they would still find it exceedingly difficult to truly defeat him.
Because the Sea of Blood Great Emperor possessed a vitality rivaling that of a Sage Ascendant, dealing with him was an exceedingly difficult task.
Fortunately, with the assistance of the other five, Eldrin Chen could focus entirely on confronting the Soul-Refiner Great Emperor.
The Soul-Refiner Great Emperor, capable of simultaneously controlling five soul-slaves, possessed strength significantly greater than even an Invincible Great Emperor.
At that moment, the five Great Emperor Realm soul-slaves continuously tore through the firmament, seeking to breach the grand formation completely, yet each was intercepted by Eldrin Chen.
Behold, Eldrin Chen wielded the Returning Abyss Seal, transforming it into the Chaos Heaven Halberd, the Celestial Abyss Twin Swords, the Soaring Immortal Zither, the Bulwark Earth Sovereign Bell, the Immortal-Suppressing Cauldron, and other supreme treasures. He clashed fiercely with the five soul-slaves, yet for a time, he found it difficult to subdue them.
Amidst the fierce battle, Eldrin Chen keenly observed that the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] of these soul-slaves was exceptionally weak, far weaker than that of a typical Great Emperor powerhouse.
In an instant, Eldrin Chen understood the cause and effect. These soul-slaves were transformed from Chaos Desolate Race Great Emperor, whose Primordial Spirit was inherently weaker than that of the Human Race to begin with.
Furthermore, to prevent them from rebelling, the Soul-Refiner Great Emperor had continuously drained their Primordial Spirit power. Consequently, the Primordial Spirit of these Chaos beings was far more feeble than that of Great Emperor of the same realm.
"With such a frail Primordial Spirit, if I unleash the Tome of Human Soul, I can likely render them temporarily incapacitated for a period of time."
As this thought flashed through his mind, Eldrin Chen instantly formulated a plan.
However, he did not act immediately. Instead, he adopted a defensive posture, continuously blocking the five soul-slaves of Soul-Refiner Great Emperor.
The ensuing great battle, on the whole, descended into a stalemate.
They were forced into a steady retreat, yet they frequently launched counterattacks against the duo of Soul-Refiner and Sea of Blood.
The advantage held by Sea of Blood Great Emperor and Soul-Refiner Great Emperor was not overwhelming, but it allowed them to spare a portion of their strength. They even used the residual shockwaves of the battle to damage the grand formations.
Overall, the Indestructibility Primordial Domain was in constant retreat. Formation after formation was pierced and destroyed, the battle line slowly advancing toward the secluded meditation chamber of Indestructibility Ancient One.
Yet, the Indestructibility Primordial Domain was truly Extraordinary. Along the path were numerous killing formations of Great Emperor-level potency. A single one of these formations could hold off the two attackers for several Kalpa Tribulation.
Thus the great war raged on, and in what seemed like a blur, several tens of Kalpa Tribulation had passed.
Until this day, when all the formations laid down across the Indestructibility Primordial Domain had been flattened. Only the final Chaos Slaughter Formation remained, enveloping the Indestructibility Heavenly Palace in its protective embrace.
This was a supreme grand formation of Sage Ascendant-level, personally arranged by Indestructibility Ancient One using a Sage Ascendant-grade formation disk. It was the last line of defense for his secluded retreat.
Even under the frenzied assault of two Invincible Great Emperor, this Sage Ascendant-level defensive formation showed not the slightest sign of cracking.
"Damn it, that old man's turtle shell is truly troublesome."
Seeing that the final Indestructibility Grand Formation could not be breached, Sea of Blood Great Emperor revealed an expression of immense fury.
He looked towards Soul-Refiner Great Emperor and could not help but speak: "Fellow Daoist, you once claimed to have a method to break this formation. Now is the time for you to demonstrate it."
Soul-Refiner Great Emperor smiled faintly before replying: "No need for haste. It will be ready momentarily."
As his words fell, Soul-Refiner Great Emperor continuously formed hand seals. In response, heaven and earth trembled violently, and one after another, black patterns manifested across the firmament.
These countless black patterns spread throughout the heavens and earth like ugly scars, completely enveloping the entire Indestructibility Primordial Domain.
"Disaster! This is the Demonic Path Blood Sacrifice Art [a forbidden art that sacrifices living beings to fuel demonic power]!"
Tai Ming Great Emperor's face changed drastically with horror. He could not restrain himself from exclaiming: "He intends to sacrifice the entire Indestructibility Primordial Domain to attempt a breakthrough into the Great Emperor Realm [the supreme realm of a Great Emperor]!"
"With his current level of cultivation, he cannot possibly succeed."
Eldrin Chen discerned the truth of the matter and spoke with a calm expression.
Only then did the crowd breathe a sigh of relief. Given the stature of the Indestructibility Primordial Domain [a primordial world of immense age and power], even though the Heavenly Path [the supreme natural order and laws of the world] had fallen into a deep slumber, it was utterly impossible for a mere Great Emperor [a supreme cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of the Great Emperor realm] to sacrifice it completely.
Even when the Sea of Blood Great Emperor performed a grand blood sacrifice of all living beings, he was only sacrificing the multitudes of the world, not targeting the very heavens and earth of this realm itself.
Of course, the reason Eldrin Chen remained so composed was that he and the Indestructibility Ancient One had long since discovered the Demonic Path [a cultivation art focused on demonic and destructive energies] array formations woven throughout the world and had prepared countermeasures accordingly.
In truth, the moment he discovered these Demonic Path array formations, even the Sea of Blood Great Emperor found it difficult to maintain his composure.
His expression grave, he turned to the Soul-Refiner Great Emperor, his voice trembling with suppressed fury. "So you truly intended to sacrifice the heavens and earth all along. It seems my decision to banish you back then was indeed correct."
"You misunderstand, fellow Daoist,"
the Soul-Refiner Great Emperor replied, a strange, twisted smile playing on his lips. "We agreed beforehand. After successfully crippling the Heavenly Path, we would jointly perform the grand blood sacrifice."
"You would take the blood of the masses, and I would refine their souls. At that time, both of us would have had a chance to glimpse the Sage Ascendant Realm [a legendary realm beyond that of a Great Emperor, approaching sagehood]."
"But tell me," he continued, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, "once you broke through to Sage Ascendant, did you not desire to advance even further?"
The Soul-Refiner Great Emperor spoke with a seductive, persuasive tone, a flicker of insatiable greed gleaming in his eyes. "This is a Primordial Domain [a world born from the primordial chaos, containing foundational cosmic laws]. If we could completely sacrifice it... perhaps you and I could aspire to reach the legendary state of a Chaos Demon Sovereign [a sovereign being born from and commanding primordial chaos]."
"The Realm of Chaos."
Upon hearing this, Sea of Blood Great Emperor [a powerful and malevolent ruler] showed a flicker of avarice on his face, his gaze growing increasingly sinister and venomous.
He stared at the secluded cultivation chamber of Indestructibility Ancient One [an ancient being of immense power] and finally sneered coldly, "Indeed. If we can suppress Indestructibility Ancient One, we can seize the legacy he has hoarded for countless years."
"Add to that the Opportunity and Fortune [the karmic potential and destiny] gained from sacrificing an entire Primordial Domain [a vast, ancient world], and perhaps we truly have a chance to reach the realm of Demon Sovereign [the supreme rank of demonic overlords]."
"In that case, let us act swiftly."
As his words fell, Sea of Blood Great Emperor and Soul-Refiner Great Emperor [a master of soul manipulation] unleashed their full power, activating the Demonic Path [a school of demonic cultivation arts] formation patterns that permeated the heavens and earth.
These Demonic Path formation patterns continuously corroded the grand protective formation of the Indestructibility Heavenly Palace [the celestial abode of the Indestructibility Ancient One], shaking the very foundations of this Sage Ascendant [a realm just below the peak of cultivation] level defensive array.
"Disaster!"
Azure Firmament Great Emperor [a majestic emperor] paled, unable to hold back his words. "The formation's power is waning. I fear it can no longer hold them at bay."
"We will hold for as long as we can."
Eldrin Chen spoke decisively, his gaze sweeping towards the depths of the Indestructibility Heavenly Palace.
By now, over forty Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles] had passed since the Indestructibility Ancient One entered seclusion, and the day of his emergence was not far off.
With this thought, he immediately poured all his power into reinforcing the Formation [a defensive or offensive energy array], determined to buy as much time as possible.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the Formation teetering on the brink of collapse, the Sea of Blood Great Emperor sneered viciously, "Let's see how much longer you can hold out!"
As his words fell, he commanded the Sea of Blood Divine Sword to tear through the firmament, its immense divine might cleaving towards the grand array.
The Soul-Refiner Patriarch also unleashed his full power. Not only did he shake the Myriad Soul Banner [a banner that commands countless souls] to assail the Formation, but he also summoned his Innate Supreme Treasure [a treasure born from primordial chaos], the 'Tai Heng Furnace', unleashing a torrent of Immortal Flame [a supreme, otherworldly fire] to incinerate the defensive barrier.
Time flowed on relentlessly. No one knew how long had passed before the grand array, unable to withstand the onslaught any longer, finally shattered with a thunderous crash.
"Charge inside!"
The moment the Formation broke, the Soul-Refiner Patriarch was the first to act, commanding his five soul-slaves to surge deep into the heart of the Indestructibility Heavenly Palace.
Contrary to all expectations, Eldrin Chen directly ahead showed not the slightest intention of intervening.
"Oh no!"
The expressions of the several Great Emperor [the supreme sovereigns of the cultivation world] present shifted slightly. They wished to act and block the attack, but it was already too late.
Seeing his imminent success, Soul-Refiner Patriarch could not help but reveal a flicker of triumphant glee. He was just about to let out a sinister laugh when the smile suddenly froze upon his face.
"BOOM—"
The space within the Indestructibility Immortal Hall [the sacred hall of the Indestructibility lineage] abruptly solidified. An instant later, a violent shockwave erupted, instantly hurling the five soul-slaves [mind-controlled puppets] back through the air.
Then, a figure clad in majestic, heroic armor tore through the firmament and appeared at the very center of the Heavenly Vault [the celestial dome of the palace].
The newcomer was none other than Indestructibility Ancient One. With an icy gaze sweeping over the assembled figures, he spoke in a cold, detached voice, "Rebellious disciple. How does it feel to fail at the final moment?"
"WHOOSH—"
Instantly transforming into a streak of crimson light, Sea of Blood Great Emperor shot into the sky, fleeing desperately towards the outer boundaries of the Indestructibility Primordial Domain [the ancient realm of the Indestructibility lineage].
Yet Indestructibility Ancient One merely smiled, his gaze turning as frigid as glacial ice as he declared, "Wishing to flee now is likely far too late."
As his words fell, he manifested a colossal hand that blotted out the heavens, striking Sea of Blood Great Emperor with such force that the emperor was sent hurtling through the air, coughing up blood.
Simultaneously, Soul-Refiner Great Emperor sensed the impending danger and immediately sought to escape beyond the bounds of Indestructibility Primordial Domain.
But at that very moment, seven figures surged forth to block his path. They joined forces to deploy a three-layered Four Symbols Formation [a powerful defensive array based on the four cardinal guardian beasts], completely sealing off Soul-Refiner Great Emperor's route of retreat.
"A mere handful of Primordial One 8th Tier cultivators dare to obstruct this sovereign?" he roared.
With his command, five of Soul-Refiner Great Emperor's Soul-Slaves [powerful beings whose souls have been enslaved and refined into combatants] took to the skies, charging to slaughter the five individuals maintaining the formation.
These five Soul-Slaves were all Desolate Race Great Emperor. Even though the Three Talents and Four Symbols Imperial Lord possessed an extraordinary Formation, their cultivation realms were ultimately insufficient. It seemed they would be utterly unable to withstand the assault.
Yet, in that critical instant, an ancient and unadorned Ancient Scripture [a mystical tome containing profound cultivation knowledge or power] materialized between heaven and earth.
It radiated billions of Dao Gold-hued ancient characters. Countless golden symbols blotted out the sky and sun, flooding directly into the minds of the five Soul-Slaves. Immediately, the enslaved beings let out agonized, earth-shattering wails.
"Aaaaargh—!"
Five Great Emperor-realm powerhouses trembled, clutching their heads as agonized howls tore from their throats, instantly rendered combat-ineffective.
Deprived of the aid of his five Soul-Slaves [enslaved souls bound to his will], Soul-Refiner Great Emperor was caught off guard and trapped within the Formation [a structured array of power]. For a time, he charged left and right, yet found it unexpectedly difficult to completely break free from the grand formation's confines.
"Join forces to suppress him!"
Eldrin Chen poured his full power into the Tome of Human Soul to suppress the Soul-Slaves, signaling for the others to move in and subdue Soul-Refiner Great Emperor.
Immortality Great Emperor, Sword Abyss Great Emperor, along with the Three Emperors of Tai Ming, Tribulation Light, and Azure Firmament, all surged into action, plunging into the formation to confront Soul-Refiner Great Emperor.
Soul-Refiner Great Emperor walked the Primordial Spirit Path Attainment Art [a cultivation art focused on refining and empowering the soul], having cultivated five True Spirit Aperture [spiritual apertures within the soul]. Though hailed as one of the mightiest Invincible Great Emperor [peerless Great Emperors] beneath the Sage Ascendant realm, fully eighty percent of his combat prowess resided in his five Soul-Slaves.
Now bereft of his Soul-Slaves, facing the combined assault of five Great Emperor-realm experts, he swiftly fell into a disadvantage. He was forced into a steady retreat and, before long, suffered successive grievous wounds.
"*Hummm—*"
It was precisely at the moment Soul-Refiner Great Emperor was critically wounded that Indestructibility Ancient One finally returned from the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation].
In his hand, he held a coagulated mass of the Sea of Blood [a realm or manifestation of condensed blood essence]. With a placid expression, he cast a glance at Soul-Refiner Great Emperor, then with a mere flick of his finger, utterly and completely suppressed him.
"Curious."
Eldrin Chen drew a deep breath, once more comprehending the profound might of a Sage Ascendant.
Even though Soul-Refiner Great Emperor was grievously wounded, to suppress a powerful Great Emperor with a mere flick of a finger—such a feat was still utterly astonishing.
At this moment, Eldrin Chen grasped the fundamental disparity between a Great Emperor and a Sage Ascendant.
Previously, he had believed that cultivating the seven True Spirit Divine Form [supreme divine transformations based on legendary primordial beasts], enabling him to fight ten opponents of the same realm, would be sufficient to contend with a Sage Ascendant. Now he saw the chasm that still lay between them.
One who has mastered the seven True Spirit Divine Form might indeed hold their own against ten Sage Ascendant, but it would likely require exhausting their full strength in a desperate battle.
For a single Sage Ascendant, suppressing a newly-ascended Great Emperor requires but a single move. Even if ten Great Emperor joined forces, it would merely demand a slightly greater expenditure of effort.
The reason lies in a qualitative difference. When a Sage Ascendant can defeat a Great Emperor in one strike, numbers lose their meaning. Ten Great Emperor or a hundred—the distinction becomes negligible.
Only by reaching the level of an Invincible Great Emperor [a Great Emperor whose combat power far surpasses the ordinary], whose battle prowess exceeds that of a common Great Emperor by several orders of magnitude and who can withstand the attacks of a Sage Ascendant, does quantity begin to hold some significance.
Yet, for Invincible Great Emperor to truly oppose a Sage Ascendant, at least five such beings must unite to have a chance at battle. A coalition of ten Invincible Great Emperor is required merely to ensure self-preservation.
The reason why cultivating the seven True Spirit Divine Form allows one to rival a Sage Ascendant is that their power has already drawn relatively close to that realm, reaching roughly sixty to seventy percent of its level.
An existence at this level is already worthy of a Sage Ascendant fighting with their full strength. If two or three such individuals could be gathered, they might even be able to confront a Sage Ascendant head-on.
"A Sage Ascendant truly lives up to their name as a wielder of a Great Path. They are no longer within the same realm as a Great Emperor," Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly.
Finally, he turned his gaze to Indestructibility Ancient One, clasped his hands, and said, "Congratulations, Senior. With this Nirvana and rebirth, you have once again set foot upon the Sage Ascendant Realm."
"Such a rebirth after tribulation suggests the Heavenly Emperor Realm may well be within your reach in the future."
Indestructibility Ancient One shook his head. After subduing five more Soul-Slaves, he led the group into the Great Hall.
Once everyone was seated, Indestructibility Ancient One looked at Eldrin Chen with a bitter smile. "A failure of my teaching, a disgrace to my sect. I have let you witness this shame, Fellow Daoist."
"Each person follows their own path. This matter cannot be blamed on you, Senior," Eldrin Chen replied, shaking his head to offer comfort.
Indestructibility Ancient One gave a slight nod of acknowledgment. He then turned to inquire about the situation regarding the three Great Emperor—Tai Ming, Qing Xiao, and Jie Guang.
After receiving the reports, he sighed deeply, a complex mix of emotions—regret, resolve, and a trace of sorrow—flickering in his ancient eyes.
After confirming that the three individuals' injuries were not severe, he bestowed upon them some medicinal pills [elixirs used for healing and cultivation], then spoke: "I have matters to discuss with our honored guest. You may withdraw now to tend to your wounds."
"As you command."
Upon hearing this, the three Great Emperor [the pinnacle realm of cultivation, representing supreme power and authority] departed with utmost reverence.
Once the three had left, Indestructibility Ancient One turned to Eldrin Chen and said courteously, "My revival this time owes much to your assistance, Fellow Daoist."
"And now, it is entirely thanks to you fending off that rebellious disciple and the wretched thief Soul-Refiner. One could say this old man owes you a debt of gratitude as vast as the heavens."
"A debt of such magnitude can scarcely be repaid merely with the Indestructibility Battle Armor [a legendary suit of armor famed for its near-impenetrable defense] and the Black Tortoise Armor [armor imbued with the defensive power of the mythical Black Tortoise], I fear."
"Is there anything else you desire? Speak it plainly to this old man. Within my power, I shall spare no effort to assist you."
Eldrin Chen's heart stirred. He then spoke, "I wish to examine the legacy of the Soul-Refiner Great Emperor. After that, I shall decide what treasures I might exchange for."
"Very well."
Indestructibility Ancient One nodded. He retrieved the Ancient Scripture [an ancient text containing profound cultivation methods and secrets] belonging to the Soul-Refiner Great Emperor and handed it to Eldrin Chen.
Eldrin Chen observed for only a few moments before a sense of certainty settled within him. "I desire the five Soul-Slaves [enslaved spirits bound to a master's will] of the Soul-Refiner Great Emperor," he stated.
The Indestructibility Ancient One nodded slightly, stroking his long beard with a smile. "You cultivate the Primordial Spirit Path Attainment Art [a profound art for nurturing the spiritual core], so you can indeed master this secret technique of the Soul-Refiner and command these five Soul-Slaves," he affirmed.
With those words, the Indestructibility Ancient One handed the five Soul-Slaves over to Eldrin Chen.
After this, the Indestructibility Ancient One spoke again. "There are also three Innate Supreme Treasure [treasures of unparalleled power born from the world's essence]: the Myriad Soul Banner, the Tai Heng Furnace, and the Sea of Blood Divine Sword."
"Of these three supreme treasures, I shall grant you two."
So saying, the Indestructibility Ancient One tossed the Tai Heng Furnace and the Sea of Blood Divine Sword to Eldrin Chen. He then continued, "The Myriad Soul Banner is a supreme treasure of the Demonic Path [a cultivation path that harnesses dark and malevolent energies], and its power ranks first among these three treasures."
"This old man intends to keep it, to exchange with an old acquaintance for a supreme healing treasure."
Eldrin Chen's heart stirred slightly. The Myriad Soul Banner possessed immense Force Extreme [a state of ultimate power and potency]. It contained over a hundred malevolent souls at the Primordial One Imperial Lord [a high realm of cultivation] level, clearly the result of the Soul-Refiner Great Emperor's countless years of refining while traversing the Chaos Desolation Sea [a vast, primordial, and perilous expanse of chaotic energy].
For the Indestructibility Ancient One to claim this item, he likely sought no ordinary healing treasure in exchange.
Yet, upon reflection, this was to be expected. The injuries of the Indestructibility Ancient One were profoundly severe. To return to his peak state through solitary cultivation alone would be an impossible feat.
This process would inevitably consume a truly astronomical quantity of resources, its value perhaps no less than that of an Innate Supreme Treasure [a primordial treasure born from the essence of the cosmos, of the highest order].
With this in mind, Eldrin Chen held his tongue. After all, Indestructibility Ancient One had already bestowed upon him two of these Innate Supreme Treasures—an act of generosity that was more than ample.
