Chapter 1922 : Chaos Thunder Roc

"Look up the information on these individuals."

After discovering the 7 Chaos Gods, Eldrin was the first to speak.

Upon hearing this, Seraphina Qu retrieved a list from her sleeve. After examining it briefly, she handed the document to Eldrin.

As it was far from the 3 1000 celestial domains, the Celestial Court possessed limited knowledge of the Rift-Heart Ancient Abyss, having only documented the Chaos God-level powerhouses within it.

Moreover, only a Great Luo Golden Immortal could traverse such vast celestial realms, which is why the information is updated only once every 10 kalpas, resulting in a certain degree of lag in the records.

Fortunately, these Chaos Godfiends had attained the Dao for over 10 kalpas. Eldrin managed to locate their profiles from the archives.

Among the 7 Chaos Fiendgods before him, 4 were at the early Great Luo Golden Immortal realm—Crimson Wolf, Celestial Ox, Chaos Golden Roc, and 6-Winged Sky Centipede. In Eldrin (Person Name)'s eyes, they were hardly worth considering.

Among the 3 mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals were the Primordial Chaos Thunder Roc, the Primordial Chaos Heaven Kun, and the 9-Winged Golden Centipede. Both the Primordial Chaos Thunder Roc and the 9-Winged Golden Centipede had reached the sixth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while the Primordial Chaos Heaven Kun's cultivation was comparatively lower, roughly at the fourth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After comprehending the intelligence, Eldrin spoke: "Among these Chaos Fiends, the Chaos Thunder Roc is the most formidable. It has surpassed 30,000 kalpas since attaining its Dao."

"Though he hadn't broken through to the seventh level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he was undoubtedly the most formidable mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal 1 could encounter."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions grew slightly grave.

Such a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the sixth layer, who has attained the Dao for 30,000 kalpas, is often the most formidable to deal with.

Due to the constraints of innate talent and foundation, such Golden Immortals of the Grand Luo often find it difficult to break through the seventh level of the Grand Luo realm. Yet, they possess ample time to refine their foundations to the absolute pinnacle of perfection.

Such beings have often not only cultivated the Minor Dao to perfection, but have also refined both their physical bodies and primordial spirits to the Minor Perfection realm. It is even highly likely that they possess a top-grade innate spiritual treasure as their foundation.

Such a powerful Sixth Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal could even take on 2 ordinary Sixth Stage Great Luo Golden Immortals single-handedly.

After realizing this, Lyra spoke, "I'm afraid only you, my husband, have the confidence to handle someone of this caliber."

Eldrin gave a slight nod and declared, "Leave the Primal Chaos Thunder Roc to me. The 9-Winged Golden Centipede shall be dealt with by my Reincarnation Avatar. As for the Primal Chaos Heaven Kun, its strength is negligible—let Lulu handle it."

Lu Lu nodded. With his current strength and the 9-Color Immortal Sword gifted by the Celestial Deer Clan, dealing with a fourth-level Great Luo Golden Immortal would be more than sufficient.

Seeing this, Lyra spoke up, "The remaining 4 are more than enough for me to handle alone. Let Seraphina Qu assist the Snow Soul Immortal Lord instead."

Everyone nodded in agreement. As a member of the Immortal Shell Clan, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to safeguard Snowsprite Immortal Lord (Cultivation Title) during her tribulation.

Seeing this, Eldrin said, "No need to rush for now. Let us await the revival of the Snow Soul Immortal Lord."

"When she was on the verge of awakening, these Chaos Fiends would all have their attention drawn. Then we'll see if we can ambush and slay 1."

As he spoke, Eldrin began observing the positions of the 7 Chaos Fiendgods.

These 7 Chaos Fiendgods belonged to 5 distinct Chaos Nests, hailing from disparate races and factions.

Among them, the 9-Winged Golden Centipede and the 6-Winged Celestial Scorpion belonged to the same clan, originating from a formidable Great Luo Chaos Nest.

The Chaos Thunder Roc and the Chaos Golden Roc were powerful experts of the Primordial Chaos Roc Clan. This bloodline occupied a mid-grade Great Perfection Chaos Nest, and their strength was considered formidable even within the Shattered Heart Ancient Abyss.

These 2 clans supported each other, making them difficult to deal with.

The remaining 3 each belonged to different Chaos Nests. If ambushed, they might not receive reinforcements, which could increase our chances of victory.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke: "If we launch a surprise attack, we could target either the Chaos Heaven Kun, the Crimson Wolf, or the Heaven Ox."

Lyra (Person Name) pondered briefly before inquiring, "If we were to ambush the Chaos Heaven Kunpeng, what are your chances of success?"

"Defeating him is not difficult, but given his methods and the intervention of several other Chaos Fiendgods, my chances of eliminating him are less than 30 percent."

Eldrin shook his head. An opportunity for a surprise attack came but once; to subdue a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal within an extremely brief moment was no simple feat.

At this thought, Eldrin said, "The most crucial point is, even if we slay this Chaos Heaven Kun, the spoils likely won't be substantial. We'd be better off confronting the Heavenly Bull Demon God."

Lyra nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Amidst this chaos, while the strong invariably grew stronger, it did not necessarily mean that those with higher cultivation levels would always possess more resources.

Taking the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Spanning Kun as an example, this Kun had only cultivated for 8 billion years since attaining the Dao, with its cultivation base having just broken through to the fourth layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Those who had just broken through to the mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm had likely expended most of their resources on the breakthrough itself, leaving them with comparatively less Primordial Indestructible Luminescence and other treasures in their possession.

In stark contrast, the Heavenly Bull Demon God had, according to records, remained trapped at the third level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage for over 1 100 billion years.

Such a Chaos Demon God, shackled by their bloodline and trapped in stagnant cultivation, might instead amass even greater resources, all in preparation for a breakthrough in their cultivation.

Most crucially, if they were to launch a surprise attack together, their chances of slaying the Heavenly Bull Demon God would be overwhelmingly high.

At this thought, Lyra said, "In that case, we shall bide our time and wait for an opportunity to strike with lethal precision."

Speaking thus, Eldrin led the group to conceal themselves within the chaos, silently approaching the Heavenly Bull Demon God.

Fortunately, the 7 Demon Gods present were also deeply wary of each other, maintaining considerable distance between themselves, which allowed the others an opportunity to draw closer.

Eldrin concealed the group within chaotic mists, even employing the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang and Stellar Dao to veil their murderous aura. Only then did they come to a halt, maintaining a distance of 1 Dao-path away from the Heavenly Ox Demonic God.

Eldrin dared not advance any further at this point.

For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the mere perception of a killing intent potent enough to pose a threat—even across the vast chaos spanning thousands of Dao paths—could be sensed with absolute clarity.

If 1 chants the true name, then even across the boundless chaos of tens of thousands of dao paths, a will incarnation can descend and reach the far shore of chaos.

The reason Eldrin (Person Name) was able to reach a distance of 1 path away from the Heavenly Bull Demon God was primarily due to suppressing his own killing intent, coupled with the Great Deduction Yin-Yang Star Dao (Cultivation Method) obscuring the heavenly secrets.

But going any further, Eldrin could no longer avoid detection.

For 1 of the paths was the absolute sensory domain of a Primordial Golden Immortal in its initial stage. Even within this chaos, hailed as capable of concealing all things, they could not advance a single step closer.

Within the bounds of the Dao Path, even the subtlest ripple in the chaos was perceived with absolute clarity by the Heaven-Ox Demon God, leaving no room for concealment whatsoever.

"A single path's distance was more than enough to launch a surprise attack."

"Now, it's a matter of waiting for the opponent to reveal a flaw."

Eldrin spoke thus, then closed his eyes to conserve his energy amidst the chaos, awaiting the perfect moment to strike. Time slipped away swiftly in the waiting, until unknowingly, hundreds of thousands of years had passed.

The group waited with immense patience until the day when changes finally stirred within the Heartrending Abyss.

On this day, the vast and misty sea of chaos within the ancient abyss ahead began to seethe. In a trance-like moment, countless Great Dao principles pierced through the firmament as a colossal spacetime rift emerged from the depths of the primordial chaos.

The Chaos Primordial Deities raised their heads and beheld a blindingly brilliant immortal light erupting from the great rift in the chaos. Countless torrents of chaotic seawater poured inward, transforming into primordial essence that nourished a sphere of radiance.

Thereupon, his bones and flesh began to slowly coalesce and take form.

"It's about to awaken."

In the midst of chaos, the 6-Winged Sky Centipede suddenly spoke, its gaze blazing with intensity. "Having slain that Snow Soul Immortal Lord this time, I may finally attempt to breach the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"The flesh and blood of a Great Luo being—our Primordial Chaos Roc tribe deserves a share."

Elsewhere, the Primordial Golden Roc sneered, his expression 1 of absolute certainty.

The Heavenly Bull Demon God grew even more cautious. As a Chaos Demon God whose power was second only to the 4 mid-stage Great Perfection Golden Immortals yet who had no powerful backing, He knew all too well that He would have but a single chance to strike.

Once this opportunity slipped away, the 3 Chaos Fiends at the mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm would never grant It another chance to contend.

As time flowed on, the Great Luo form of Lord Snowsoul was nearly complete, and the Heavenly Ox Demon God grew increasingly tense.

His eyes were fixed intently on Lord Xuepo within the great rift of chaos, yet the greater part of his attention remained locked upon the 6 Chaos Fiendgods, guarding against any sudden strike they might launch against him.

But at that very instant, an unexpected void rift slashed toward him.

Clang—

The Heavenly Bull Demon God felt as if his brow had struck something, followed immediately by an excruciating agony surging through him.

"Damn it—"

In that fleeting moment, the Heavenly Bull Demon God regained his senses, only to realize his brow had been split clean in 2.

Even the indestructible Primordial Immortal Soul had nearly half of its essence severed in an instant, erupting into a dazzling radiance of the Great Dao under its divine protection.

Seizing the moment when the Heavenly Bull Demon God’s attention was diverted by the 6 Chaos Demon Gods, Eldrin silently summoned the Cosmic Infinity Sword.

This Mixed Origin-level divine ability was truly extraordinary. In an instant, it tore through the chaotic void and struck. The Heavenly Bull Demon God had no time to detect the anomaly before being severely wounded in a flash.

"Ambushed."

The Heavenly Ox Demon was utterly horrified. In his haste, he sought to avert the disaster, but alas, it was already too late.

But then, within the chaos, a blindingly brilliant 5-colored divine light enveloped him, cutting off any chance of escape. Immediately after, a primordial chaos divine thunder struck down, instantly obliterating both his physical form and primordial spirit into nothingness.

"Ah—"

The Heavenly Ox Demon God had only time to let out a single wretched scream before he was utterly annihilated in an instant. Only that portion of his primordial spirit fused with the Great Dao emitted a blinding radiance, only to fall into complete silence moments later.

Next, for the Heavenly Bull Demon God to resurrect, he would have to wait at least 1 100 kalpas—until that wisp of primordial spirit within the Great Dao had accumulated enough power to awaken.

After slaying the Celestial Bull Demon God, Eldrin emerged from the chaos with several companions, his expression serene as he regarded the 6 other Chaos Demon Gods. "Greetings, esteemed ones," he spoke with a measured courtesy.

"Someone from the Primal Realm?"

The Primordial Thunder Roc spoke, a trace of apprehension flickering in its gaze.

It was evident that Eldrin's surprise attack, which had annihilated the Calamity Demon God in a single strike, instilled a palpable sense of trepidation within Him.

You must understand, the Heavenly Bull Demon God had attained enlightenment for tens of millions of years, his cultivation having reached the third level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for many years. Such a figure could even put up a fight against a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even he would need to exert some effort to be certain of defeating it.

As for slaying it, that would depend on the alignment of time, terrain, and human factors—and even more on whether the Skybull Demon God would be negligent enough to grant such an opening.

At this thought, the Primordial Thunder Roc spoke, "Lord Snowsoul possesses 3 treasures: the Immortal Shell, the Flesh and Blood, and the Pearl. With your strength, you may claim 1 of them."

"How about the 3 of us collaborate, each taking 1? What do you think?"

As he spoke, the Primordial Thunder Roc turned his gaze to the 9-Winged Golden Centipede, who nodded and said, "This Sovereign agrees."

The Chaos Heaven Kun and the Crimson Wolf Devil God both slightly changed their expressions upon seeing this, yet they understood they were no match in strength. Immediately, unwilling expressions surfaced on their faces.

But just at that moment, Eldrin spoke coldly, "Shells, flesh, and pearls are all treasures, but I'm afraid none of you will obtain them."

"What did you say?"

The Chaos Thunder Roc's expression shifted slightly, a chill gleaming in his eyes as he said, "Could it be that you intend to keep it all for yourself?"

"Not so!"

Eldrin shook his head and spoke calmly, "We have come to guard the path of Lord Snowsoul. You would do well to depart swiftly."

"Dao Guardian?"

The Chaos Thunder Roc's expression turned slightly frosty, while the 9-Winged Golden Centipede also revealed a trace of icy coldness.

For tens of thousands of kalpas, the legacy treasures left behind after the fall of the Snowsoul Immortal Lord have remained a latent opportunity within the Riftheart Ancient Abyss. Their growth to this day has been forged through repeatedly seizing such chances.

If we allow the Snow Soul Immortal Lord to revive and depart, would it not mean such an opportunity would never arise again?

At this thought, the 9-Winged Golden Centipede said coldly, "The opportunity for Snowsoul Immortal Lord's revival has always been, since time immemorial, an affair of the Heartrending Abyss."

"If you allow her to revive and depart, I fear not only we, but even those dozens of nearby Chaos Nests will not tolerate it."

"Enough idle talk." Eldrin's voice cut cold as steel. With a resonant clang, the Chaos Heavenly Halberd materialized in his grasp. His eyes glinted with frost as he continued, "If any of you dispute this, feel free to step forward and test your resolve."

"You're courting death!"

The Chaos Thunder Roc erupted in fury, wielding a celestial sword of lightning that split the heavens as it descended to annihilate Eldrin.

This Chaos Thunder Roc was truly worthy of being a peak Sixth-Level Great Luo Golden Immortal. The moment it struck, it unleashed its ultimate technique—this Thunder Immortal Sword was actually a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Eldrin dared not show the slightest negligence. With the Chaos Heaven Halberd in hand, he struck horizontally at his opponent, exchanging over a dozen moves in the blink of an eye.

Boom—

At almost the same moment, the Reincarnation Body made its move.

He rode the Dao of Time and Space to strike down a formidable foe, clashing with the 9-Winged Golden Centipede in a cataclysmic battle that shook the heavens.

The others also sprang into action. Lu Lu intercepted the Chaos Heaven Kun, while Lyra single-handedly engaged 3 Chaos Demon Gods: the Chaos Golden Roc, the Crimson Wolf, and the 6-Winged Sky Centipede.

Seraphina Qu stood guard by the edge of the Chaos Rift, protecting the revival of the Snow Soul Immortal Lord.

In the blink of an eye, the battle escalated to a fever pitch, with all 10 Great Perfection Golden Immortals from both sides unleashing their true fury in an instant.

However, overall, Eldrin and the others still held the upper hand.

Eldrin engaged the Chaos Thunder Roc in single combat. After exchanging over a 100 moves, he had fully gauged the beast's strength and began forcing it into a disadvantageous position.

The Samsara Body was originally a pinnacle combat force among mid-stage Great Perfection Golden Immortals, and naturally held a firm advantage against the 9-Winged Golden Centipede. Were it not for his wariness of the creature’s Great Perfection Poison, he could have utterly defeated it.

Lulu and the Primordial Heaven-Spanning Kun were evenly matched, yet Lyra (Person Name) single-handedly forced 3 early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal Chaos Fiends into relentless retreat. (End of Chapter)
