Chapter 1923 : Snowsoul Immortal

Seeing that the 3 early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals, including the Primordial Golden Roc, were likely to be defeated and flee if the battle continued like this, the Primordial Thunder Roc could no longer hold back.

He abruptly soared into the air, and with a flick of his sleeve, affixed a Thunder God Talisman onto the Thunder Immortal Sword.

In an instant, the violet lightning immortal sword's radiance surged violently, transforming into world-shocking sword energy that cleaved through primordial chaos as it descended toward Eldrin (Person Name).

Great Dao Divine Rune.

Seeing this, Eldrin frowned slightly.

It turned out that the Primordial Chaos Thunder Roc had unleashed a Great Luo Divine Talisman. Such talismans were forged from the bark of a Primordial Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), often unleashing astonishing power and representing the ultimate form of talisman arts.

The grade of this divine rune before him had reached the Late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Moreover, it was a rare rune that amplified the Great Dao, capable of temporarily elevating the Great Dao power of the Primordial Chaos Thunder Roc to the level of a Late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

It could be said that without resorting to forbidden divine abilities, this already represented the absolute limit of conventional methods available to a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"To possess such a hidden card indeed befits a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has lived through tens of thousands of kalpas."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, a trace of frost gleaming in his eyes.

Yet Eldrin remained unafraid. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

In an instant, the Abyssal Seal shattered the primordial chaos, transforming into an ancient chaos cauldron capable of suppressing all ages as it descended with overwhelming force. In the blink of an eye, it intertwined violently with the thunderous immortal sword.

In that very instant, Eldrin transformed into a blade of void sword energy, tearing through the sky as he shot toward the Chaos Thunder Roc.

"Another spatial technique?"

The Chaos Thunder Roc’s pupils flashed with arcs of lightning, instantly transforming into a streak of thunder as it vanished and reappeared on the other side of the chaos, narrowly evading Eldrin’s Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

After evading the strike, the Chaos Thunder Roc condensed a spear of primordial lightning and thrust it precisely toward Eldrin (Person Name) who had merged with his sword, forcing him into a precarious retreat.

Immediately after, the Chaos Thunder Roc sneered and struck once more, harnessing overwhelming lightning to tear across the ancient firmament. An endless tide of thunderforce completely submerged Eldrin (Person Name).

"Having witnessed this divine ability of yours, how could I possibly be unprepared?"

"Is that so?"

In that very instant, Eldrin soared through the sea of lightning, only to grasp the Crimson Flame Qi in his hand moments later, engaging in a fierce battle against the Chaotic Thunder Roc.

Yet at that very moment, the Eldrin Cauldron transformed by the other side shifted into the Yin-Yang Void Mirror, firmly trapping the Thunderbolt Immortal Sword with the power of chaotic primordial magnetism and void energy.

"Damn it!"

The Chaos Thunder Roc's face changed dramatically, immediately attempting to retract its Natal Immortal Treasure.

Yet Eldrin seized the opportunity to close in, channeling the Great Dao, his primordial spirit, and all his magical power into physical reinforcement.

The 5 divine runes of Pure Yang, Profound Abyss, Primordial Earth, Life, and Chaos Gold erupted with dazzling radiance, elevating Eldrin’s physical power to its absolute peak.

Boom—

With a thunderous boom, the Primal Thunder Roc was sent flying by Eldrin's single punch, violently coughing up a mouthful of blood.

In the instant he was wounded, the Chaos Thunder Roc's control over the Lightning Immortal Sword wavered for a fleeting moment.

This top-grade innate spiritual treasure was originally capable of confronting the Abyssal Seal head-on, and with the augmentation of the Great Dao Divine Runes, it could even slightly suppress the Abyssal Seal.

Yet now, facing the restraint of the true spirit treasure ‘Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure)’, the Thunder Immortal Sword was already at a disadvantage. With the Chaos Thunder Roc injured, the sword was completely suppressed by the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, nearly on the verge of being seized.

"No—"

Watching his companion treasure about to be snatched away, the Chaos Thunder Roc could no longer remain still.

He instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, paying the price of burning his Great Luo True Blood to forcibly aid the Thunderbolt Immortal Sword in breaking free.

He did not linger in the fight, instantly leveraging his speed to charge into the distance. After exchanging a single blow with Lyra (Person Name), he swept up the Chaos Gold Roc and made his retreat.

Go—

Eldrin made no move to pursue them.

He knew full well that the Chaos Thunder Roc had retreated this time solely because its companion treasure was being suppressed, and it feared losing its companion immortal sword—not because it truly lacked the power to fight.

In truth, the Primordial Thunder Roc had yet to reveal its true trump cards. A supreme Sixth-Level Golden Immortal of this caliber, once unleashing forbidden divine abilities and various hidden means, could even trade blows on equal footing with a Seventh-Level Golden Immortal.

If the Chaos Thunder Roc were truly pushed to a desperate fight, Eldrin would likely end up in a mutually destructive clash with it.

After all, Eldrin's current cultivation was merely at the Second Layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm—the disparity in their realms remained far too vast.

"Go, quickly."

At the very moment the Chaos Thunder Roc fled in defeat, the other Chaos Godfiends also scrambled for their lives.

Had it been an ordinary moment, Eldrin and the others joining forces, coupled with the Yin-Yang Void Mirror’s ability to seal chaos, might have had a chance to detain 1 or 2 of them.

But now, the Snow Soul Immortal Lord was at a critical moment of recovery, and Eldrin was unwilling to complicate matters, so he let them leave.

It was only then that Eldrin turned to gaze into the Chaos Rift not far away. From within its depths, an ethereal beauty emerged, clad in a gown of white gossamer. She glided forward and offered a graceful bow to the assembly.

"Xue Po is here, and I offer my deepest gratitude to all of you for saving my life."

Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "Since you are a clansman of Seraphina Qu, this is what we ought to do."

Snowsoul Immortal Lord smiled faintly upon hearing this, turning his gaze to Seraphina Qu. "Through the boundless primordial chaos and vast ancient epochs, across hundreds of millions of years, our Divine Shell clan has finally produced another 9-Colored Divine Shell."

Seeing this, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) spoke up, "This is no place to linger. We should head back first."

"Very well."

Frostsoul Immortal Lord also nodded. Having finally awakened from her slumber after tens of thousands of kalpas, a rare trace of emotion welled up in her gaze.

After the Snow Soul Immortal Lord revived, the crowd no longer delayed.

Eldrin led the group straight toward the Primordial Immortal Realm, observing the condition of the Snow Soul Immortal Lord along the way.

As a Great Luo Golden Immortal who attained the Dao since the Primordial Era, the prowess and cultivation of Lord Snowsoul were truly extraordinary. Having lived through a full 100-1000-some kalpas, his cultivation at its peak even reached the sixth level of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Do not underestimate the Sixth Level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. 1 must know that during the Primordial Era, Great Luo Golden Immortals were exceedingly rare existences.

In the current era across the 3 1000 Immortal Domains, there exist at least tens of thousands of Great Perfected Golden Immortals, yet over 80 percent of them have ascended to this realm within the last 10 1000 kalpas.

The primary reason these Great Luo Golden Immortals achieved their ascension lies in the supreme merit of the Primordial Dao Ancestor’s method of creating celestial realms.

And 10 1000 kalpas ago, there were very few who practiced the modern method. Although Great Luo Golden Immortals had opened up immortal domains during the primordial era, they could not obtain the innate indestructible radiance because they lacked that wisp of innate spiritual opportunity stirred by advancing in cultivation.

In those days, the Great Luo Golden Immortals established immortal domains for no other reason than to harness the Primordial Qi or to create a cultivation sanctuary.

Considering that sustaining a celestial realm requires at least 1 Primordial Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), those capable of opening celestial realms during the Primordial Era were generally top-tier Great Luo Golden Immortals (Cultivation Realm) at the late Great Luo stage.

Since it was impossible to open a celestial domain and obtain the Primordial Undying Spiritual Light, ascending to the Great Luo Golden Immortal in the primordial era did not hinge on breaking through the 9 Heavenly Passes, but rather on securing this most crucial cultivation resource.

Throughout the entire Primordial Era spanning millions of kalpas, prodigies who shattered the 9 Great Celestial Barriers of Da Luo were nearly as countless as the stars in the sky, yet the vast majority ultimately vanished into the endless river of time.

By this reckoning, it became clear that Lord Snowsoul’s ascension as 1 of the 13 Great Luo Golden Immortals among the Immortal Shell Clan was no mere feat in his era.

Yet now, the Snow Soul Immortal Lord's aura had drastically waned. His physical body, primordial spirit, and magical power had only barely recovered to the initial stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

To continue the recovery process, 1 must expend vast quantities of resources.

Of course, with the wealth accumulated by the Scallop Clan, it wouldn't be long before the Snowsoul Immortal Lord made a full recovery.

After discerning the condition of the Snow Soul Immortal Lord, Eldrin immediately produced some Soul-Nourishing Wood and resources like the 10 Revolutions Immortal Elixir to aid her recovery. Then, he piloted the Primordial Chaos Ancient Vessel, continuously navigating through the chaos.

Thus time flowed on, and before they knew it, they had returned to the outskirts of the 7-colored Immortal Realm.

We have arrived.

Gazing upon the vibrant immortal realm before him, Eldrin spoke with a gentle smile.

At almost the same moment, an exquisitely beautiful figure emerged from the 7-colored Immortal Realm—none other than the clan leader of the Immortal Shell Tribe, the 7-colored Immortal Lord.

"Sister..."

The moment she saw the Rainbow Immortal, Snowsoul Immortal was overcome with emotion. With eyes slightly reddened, she flew toward him.

The Sevencolor Immortal Lord smiled gently and took her hand, saying, "All that matters is you've returned."

As she spoke, Rainbow Fairy Queen invited Eldrin and the others into the Rainbow Immortal Realm. Then, with utmost solemnity, she bowed deeply to the group and said, "My younger sister Xue Po's safe return is all thanks to your assistance. I am truly and eternally grateful."

"Given the friendship between us, this is only what should be done."

Eldrin smiled faintly and helped the 7-Colored Immortal Lord to his feet.

The Rainbow Immortal Lord, however, merely smiled. With a flick of his sleeve, several celestial maidens bearing trays gracefully approached.

Eldrin focused his gaze and saw that each tray contained a dazzling immortal treasure, every single 1 a rare and peerless divine artifact.

Violetflame Immortal Marrow, Creation Azure Lotus, Frostsoul Immortal Gold.

Eldrin stared at the treasures before him, his heart trembling with awe. Every single item brought by the Radiant Immortal Sovereign was nothing short of legendary—each artifact ranked no lower than an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

These 3 most valuable ones were comparable to top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and they perfectly suited Qing Ji, Yan Zi Ji, and Lila (Person Name)—his 3 Dao companions. It was evident that each had been specially prepared for them.

Faced with such a treasure, Eldrin felt his heart stir with desire, yet he still spoke out: "The gifts you have bestowed are far too precious, Fellow Daoist. Moreover, you have already granted us the 3 divine pearls of the sun, moon, and stars. We truly do not deserve to receive these priceless treasures."

Lyra also nodded and declined, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please take it back."

The Rainbow Immortal Lord smiled faintly before speaking, "Our Immortal Shell Clan has inherited traditions through millions of kalpas, with heritage that ranks among the foremost of the 100 Immortal Races."

"Compared to Sister Xuepo, these treasures are nothing."

Seeing this, Lord Snowsoul also nodded and said, "It's not just me. In the future, several of our other sisters may also seek your assistance. You should still accept these treasures."

With those words, Snowsoul Immortal gently pushed the treasure toward Seraphina Qu (Person Name). After a moment of contemplation, he retrieved an ancient scripture from his sleeve and handed it to Eldrin (Person Name), saying,

"I have awakened over 3 100 times since my fall in the primordial era. Through these cycles of reawakening and oblivion, I have attained enlightenment on a forbidden scripture."

"This method also holds a certain degree of profundity, so I shall offer it to you all as an additional token of gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin accepted the ancient scroll and said, "In that case, we shall not refuse your generosity."

The Sevencolor Immortal Lord smiled faintly and hosted another lavish banquet to warmly entertain the guests.

Soon after, Eldrin led the group back to the Abyssal Ruins Immortal Realm.

After returning to the Abyssal Immortal Realm, Eldrin entered the cave abode with several Great Perfection Golden Immortals and began examining the gains from their journey.

This rescue mission for Snowsoul Immortal Lord had yielded remarkably bountiful rewards. Even setting aside the Primordial Chaos Treasure 'Creation Cauldron', the treasures they had acquired were truly astonishing.

Eldrin took stock of his gains and found that the treasures came from the Heavenly Bull Demon God, along with gifts from the 7-colored Immortal Lord.

That day, the cultivation base of the Bull Demon God had stagnated at the third level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal for thousands of kalpas, unable to make a breakthrough. The treasures he had accumulated could truly be described as astonishing.

There were 3 strands of innate indestructible radiance alone, along with a wisp of 'Primordial Dao Essence,' 2 lower-grade innate spiritual treasures, and 1 innate spiritual fruit.

Among these treasures, the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light went without saying—it was undoubtedly the entirety of the Heavenly Ox Demon God’s accumulated wealth over these years.

You must understand, a low-grade Great Luo Nest can only give birth to 9 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance. After deducting those for the innate spiritual treasure and ascension to Great Luo, the Heavenly Bull Demon God having 3 strands remaining is already considered exceptionally fortunate.

As for the Great Dao Origin, it is the most crucial refining material for the Great Dao Immortal Pill.

This object could only be nurtured within a Chaos Nest of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, and even a low-grade Chaos Nest could produce at most 1 such entity.

Once the Primordial Essence of the Great Dao is extracted, the foundational source of the Great Luo-level Chaos Nest will be depleted by more than half, potentially even causing the Chaos Nest's grade to fall. Maintaining its grade would require investing an immense amount of resources.

In the Celestial Realm, Great Luo Golden Immortals often refine Great Dao Pills using the essence of the Great Dao itself, employing them to ascend to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The Chaos Fiend Gods, however, were more direct, often refining the essence of the Great Dao itself. Yet this approach inevitably resulted in considerable waste.

2 inferior-grade Primordial Spirit Treasures, namely the Heavenly Bull Battle Armor and the Immortal Divine Edge, both were congenital companions of the Heavenly Bull Demon God.

The innate spiritual fruit was known as the Enlightenment Immortal Fruit. It could enhance an immortal's comprehension and, when consumed during a breakthrough, significantly increased the likelihood of ascending to the mid-stage of the Great Perfected Golden Immortal realm.

The Great Dao Origin, the Dao Comprehension Immortal Fruit, along with 3 strands of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light.

"It seems the resources for the Heavenly Ox Demon God to break through to the mid-stage of the Great Perfection Realm are almost fully prepared."

Gazing at the several treasures in his hand, Eldrin couldn't help but chuckle with profound amusement.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) also smiled and couldn't help remarking, "Had he not coveted the opportunities of Lord Snowsoul (Person Name), he might have had some chance of breaking through."

"Alas, by meddling in this affair, I have unwittingly become entangled in this tribulation."

Eldrin also nodded. The preparations made by the Celestial Bull Demon God were indeed thorough, yet due to his unstable foundation and insufficient bloodline purity, breaking through remained an arduous challenge.

Both the Primordial Dao Source and the Enlightenment Immortal Fruit were treasures of immense value, each worth 4 to 5 strands of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light. If utilized by an early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, they would provide a 40 to 50 percent certainty of breaking through to the mid-stage of Great Luo.

However, Chaos Fiends, innately powerful due to their bloodline, are also constrained by their congenital foundation.

The foundation of the Heavenly Bull Demon God was akin to that of a Great Perfected 1 who had broken through via the 9-Limit Heavenly Pass of the Great Dao. It was scarcely any better than the White Lotus Holy Mother's, and in terms of malleability, it was even inferior to hers.

With such a foundation, even if you manage to gather these 2 rare treasures, your chances of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal would be, at most, 1 or 2 in 10.

It was precisely for this reason that the Heaven-Swallowing Demon God had chosen to partake in Snowsoul Immortal Lord’s 100 Tribulations Rebirth opportunity, hoping to seize the chance to further solidify his chances of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Great Perfection Golden Immortal realm.

"What a pity."

Eldrin shook his head, storing away the Primordial Origin of the Great Dao, the Enlightenment Immortal Fruit, and the Innate Indestructible Spirit Light, intending to preserve them as future foundations for his clan.

He then placed the Celestial Bull Battle Armor and the Immortal Godspear into the clan treasury, for these 2 treasures could be preserved as foundational assets of the family.

Among them, the Immortal Divine Edge had not yet integrated with the Great Dao, making it suitable to serve as the clan's hidden trump card for breaking through to the Eighth Tribulation Ancient Immortal realm.

Afterward, Eldrin retrieved the treasures bestowed by the Radiant Immortal Sovereign. This time, the sovereign had gifted 5 primordial divine artifacts—clearly intended as 1 for each recipient.

Eldrin stored away the Violet Flame Immortal Marrow, the Creation Azure Lotus, and the Icesoul Immortal Gold.

Only 2 innate divine artifacts remained: the 9-Colored Galaxy Sand and a piece of Samsara Immortal Jade.

The 9-Colored Galaxy Sand was a supreme treasure for artifact refinement, and it resonated perfectly with Lulu's 9-Colored Immortal Sword. Clearly intended for Lulu, Eldrin (Person Name) casually handed it over to her.

Upon hearing this, Lulu found herself unable to put it down. The 9-Colored Galaxy Sand was an exceptionally rare material for artifact forging—even a small amount could significantly enhance the grade of an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

If she integrated the 9-Colored Galaxy Sand into the 9-Colored Immortal Sword, the weapon—already approaching the might of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure—would likely fully ascend to that tier.

Only the Cycle Immortal Jade, which contained the Dao of Reincarnation, was most suitable for cultivation by the Reincarnation Body. Thus, Eldrin handed it over to the Reincarnation Body for refinement.

After the group had divided the treasures, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) could not help but remark with emotion, "The Sevencolors Immortal Lord (Cultivation Title) truly sees through the hearts of mortals. Each of the 5 innate divine artifacts he bestowed is indispensable to us."

"Carefully selected, you've truly put thought into this."

Eldrin nodded, unable to help but marvel that the Immortal Shell Clan truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier great clan that had once produced a Chaos Origin Emperor.

Any other Great Perfected Golden Immortal might have been able to produce so many treasures all at once, but none could have gathered such a perfect collection of artifacts that aligned flawlessly with their needs.

Thinking of this, Eldrin turned his gaze to the final ancient scripture.

This final ancient scripture was a gift from Immortal Lord Xue Po, known as the 100 Calamities Butterfly Transformation Art.

Eldrin merely skimmed through the scripture before setting it down, sighing with admiration. "It seems it won't be long before the Scallop Race gains another Great Perfection Stage Golden Immortal."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily taken aback before immediately consulting the ancient texts.

After watching for a moment, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) couldn't help but smile and remark, "Even after enduring hundreds of tribulations of downfall, 1 can still maintain an unwavering Dao Heart, and even seize the opportunity to comprehend the metamorphosis of breaking through the cocoon to become a butterfly."

"Our clan's Elder Xuepo can truly be considered a talent of extraordinary brilliance."
