Chapter 2063 : The Genesis of a Sole Divine Form

A Chaos Heavenly Emperor who has achieved Fleshly Body Sanctification [the process of refining one's physical body to a divine, indestructible state], if they cannot cultivate the Ultimate Divine Form [the pinnacle state of a divine physique], would likely have less than a one in ten chance of ever stepping into the Second Chaos Realm [a legendary and immensely powerful stage of cultivation].

Of course, Eldrin Chen was not shocked by these secrets at this moment. What truly astounded him was something else.

After his five True Spirit Divine Forms [divine manifestations of one's spiritual essence] merged with his five Divine Spirits [the spiritual cores representing different aspects of a cultivator's power], they actually showed signs of transforming into a Sole Divine Form [a singular, ultimate divine manifestation].

Just moments before, had it not been for the insufficient foundational essence of his Five Viscera Divine Spirits [the divine spirits corresponding to the five vital organs] and his own physical cultivation realm not being advanced enough, these five True Spirit Divine Forms would likely have already fused, coalescing into a single Sole Divine Form.

The Sole Divine Form is the Chaos Foundation [the primordial root of one's cultivation potential], a realm that is typically only reached after the fusion of Nine True Spirit Divine Forms.

He had merely cultivated five True Spirit Divine Forms, yet already possessed the qualifications to fuse them into a Sole Divine Form. This foundational depth was nothing short of heaven-defying, utterly extraordinary.

"If that's the case," he mused, "doesn't that mean my five True Spirit Divine Forms are more powerful than the combined strength of an ordinary person's Nine True Spirit Divine Forms?"

With this thought, Eldrin Chen focused his mind and immediately attempted to activate his five Divine Spirits, drawing their divine forms to empower his own body.

Instantly, the supreme might of five entities, each comparable to a Great Emperor [a sovereign-level cultivator], surged into him. His combat power transcended its previous limits, soaring to a pinnacle where he could even contend with a Sage Ascendant [a cultivator who has ascended to sagehood].

"Strength, defense, speed, Burst [the ability for explosive power], vitality, even Recovery [regenerative capacity]—all amplified fivefold, rivaling that of a Great Emperor. Even the sharpness of the White Tiger Imperial Sword [a legendary sword of the White Tiger lineage] has been enhanced five times."

"With such power augmenting my own, my physical attack potency now rivals that of a Top-Tier Sage Ascendant."

Eldrin Chen murmured inwardly, astonished to find that even his weakest aspects—attack power and speed—had ascended to a level comparable to a Top-Tier Sage Ascendant.

If one were to consider defensive capabilities, his likely surpassed even that of a Limitless Sage Ascendant by a significant margin.

Furthermore, the immense enhancement of his Sharpness [a conceptual force that allows attacks to cut through defenses with extreme efficiency] now allowed Eldrin Chen to cleave through fifty percent of a Sage Ascendant's defenses, drastically increasing his lethality against such foes.

Contemplating this, Eldrin Chen traveled via the Returning Abyss Pearl to the Chaos Desolation Sea. There, he channeled his mana, the Great Path, his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator], and even the power of the Sacrificial Self Path to bolster himself. Finally, he summoned forth the Chaos Heaven Halberd to test his might.

Pushing himself to the absolute limit with Burst, Eldrin Chen felt as if he had shattered through a previously insurmountable barrier. His Slaughter techniques now far exceeded the capabilities of even a top-tier Sage Ascendant Realm cultivator.

"My current combat prowess should be sufficient to suppress a joint assault from three Top-Tier Sage Ascendant cultivators."

"With such methods and power, I have truly stepped into the domain of the Limitless Sage Ascendant."

Eldrin Chen whispered this thought to himself, a faint smile gracing his lips.

A single Top-Tier Sage Ascendant possesses combat strength capable of defeating two or three ordinary Sage Ascendant cultivators. An Invincible Sage Ascendant, in turn, can typically overcome the combined might of three Top-Tier Sage Ascendant working in unison.

The offensive power of Indestructibility Ancient One was roughly at this level.

Eldrin Chen estimated that his own offensive power was likely not inferior to that of Indestructibility Ancient One.

However, his defensive capabilities probably still fell slightly short compared to Indestructibility Ancient One, after all, Indestructibility Ancient One was an existence capable of withstanding the attacks of Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

After all, Eldrin Chen had not yet cultivated the Returning Abyss Divine Form [a supreme defensive divine ability]; he still lacked a little to directly withstand the assaults of Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen couldn't help but glance at the Returning Abyss Pearl and inquired, "I wonder if there is a way to help me cultivate the Returning Abyss Divine Form?"

"Not for the time being."

The Returning Abyss Pearl spoke, then said with some gravity, "To cultivate an Ultimate Divine Form [the pinnacle form of divine defensive abilities], one often needs to refine and assimilate a Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a primordial treasure of chaos]."

"Even if I were to break through to the realm of a Chaos Spiritual Artifact, I could not help you achieve the Chaos Divine Form. Therefore, this matter is likely to be exceedingly difficult."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin Chen's heart sank slightly.

He understood that cultivating an Ultimate Divine Form was arduous, but he had not imagined it would require expending such precious resources.

One must understand that even for a Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a supreme sovereign who has mastered the laws of primordial chaos], a Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a supreme treasure forged from the essence of primordial chaos] represents a trump card, a final resort. Who would be willing to squander such a treasure merely to cultivate an Ultimate Divine Form [a supreme physical manifestation technique]?

Eldrin Chen pondered for a moment before inquiring, "If I were to expend Primordial Chaos Genesis Essence [the foundational creative essence of primordial chaos], could you refine a Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a supreme treasure forged from the essence of primordial chaos] imbued with a Returning Abyss Attribute [the property of ultimate dissolution and return to the void]?"

"That would be an arduous task," came the reply.

The Returning Abyss Pearl [a mystical pearl embodying the power of the abyssal return] contemplated silently. After a brief pause, it continued, "After I ascend to the rank of a Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a supreme treasure forged from the essence of primordial chaos], if you can locate a Primordial Domain [one of the foundational, ancient realms of existence] on the verge of Oblivion [the state of complete cosmic erasure and non-existence]..."

"...and allow me to devour its Returning Abyss Origin [the core origin energy released during a realm's dissolution into the abyss] at the moment of its Oblivion [the state of complete cosmic erasure and non-existence], supplemented with either Chaos Genesis Energy [the creative energy of primordial chaos] or Primordial Chaos Genesis Essence [the foundational creative essence of primordial chaos], then perhaps there is a sliver of hope for success."

"A Primordial Domain [one of the foundational, ancient realms of existence] on the brink of Oblivion [the state of complete cosmic erasure and non-existence]?"

Eldrin Chen's heart sank. The price of sacrificing an entire Primordial Domain [one of the foundational, ancient realms of existence] to birth a single Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a supreme treasure forged from the essence of primordial chaos] of Returning Abyss Attribute [the property of ultimate dissolution and return to the void] was far too steep, too grievous a cost.

His conscience rebelled against such an act; he had no desire to walk that path.

After deep and repeated contemplation, Eldrin Chen finally spoke, "Let it be. We shall proceed one step at a time."

With his mind settled, Eldrin Chen departed the Chaos Desolation Sea [a vast, turbulent sea of chaotic and desolate energies] and returned to the Southern Abyss Seven Domains [a collective term for seven major realms in the southern cosmic abyss], resuming his life of secluded cultivation.

In the years that followed, Eldrin Chen's cultivation focus remained firmly on his physical body.

He had three primary cultivation goals. The first was to break through to the Great Perfection Primordial One Imperial Lord realm as swiftly as possible. The second was to fully replenish the foundational essence of his Five Viscera Divine Spirits [divine spirits residing within and empowering the five vital organs]. The third was to prepare his physical form for the Limit-Breaker [a legendary state of cultivation that transcends conventional limits].

For the physical body to ascend to the Great Perfection Primordial One Imperial Lord realm was, in essence, a process that would unfold naturally once conditions were met. However, it demanded the consumption of a truly staggering amount of resources.

Eldrin Chen continuously refined and absorbed the remains of the Vermilion Bird Sage Ascendant, striving to hasten his breakthrough into the Great Perfection Primordial One Imperial Lord realm.

Yet, his foundation was overwhelmingly profound. He estimated that even after completely refining the Sage Ascendant [a realm just below the Path Ancestor]-level corporeal form of the Vermilion Bird Sage Ascendant, it would likely only satisfy thirty percent of the resources required for his breakthrough into the Great Emperor Realm.

The second goal, replenishing the foundational essence of his Five Viscera Divine Spirits, was not particularly difficult. It merely required refining the primordial essence found within the Primordial One Nests [ancient lairs of immense power scattered throughout the Chaos].

During the era of Future, Eldrin Chen began making frequent journeys into the Chaos Desolation Sea. Within that vast and turbulent expanse, the number of Chaos Lair [dens and strongholds formed from chaotic energies] was truly beyond count.

Although the primordial essence within the vast majority of these lairs was negligible to someone of Eldrin Chen's stature, the cumulative effect of gathering from countless sources was significant. Gradually, the foundational essence of his Five Viscera Divine Spirits began to brim with vitality.

The power of these Five Viscera Divine Spirits was nearly equivalent to that of five Great Emperor-level beings constantly supplying him with foundational power. The Chaos Primordial Breath [the most ancient and potent form of chaotic energy] they generated upon merging became one of the primary sources of strength for Eldrin Chen's physical form.

As the foundational essence of his Five Viscera Divine Spirits grew increasingly abundant, Eldrin Chen's combat prowess, while not undergoing a dramatic qualitative leap, saw a steady and significant increase in his endurance for prolonged battles.

The third point was to cultivate the ninth True Spirit Divine Runes [mystical patterns that embody the power of a true spirit], thereby shattering the limits of the physical body.

However, this was an exceedingly difficult feat. Eldrin Chen possessed a foundation that could be described as heaven-defying to the extreme. To once again break through the Limit-Breaker [a state where a cultivator surpasses the conventional limits of their realm] required sufficient accumulation.

According to Eldrin Chen's own estimation, for his physical body to break through its limits once more would likely require the accumulation of several hundred Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles, each spanning billions of years].

Nevertheless, after pursuing these three paths simultaneously, Eldrin Chen's shortcomings began to be gradually remedied, and his combat prowess started to steadily increase.

Thus, time flowed on relentlessly. Nearly one hundred Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles, each spanning billions of years] passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Eldrin Chen awoke from his secluded cultivation. Gazing at the two Communication Talisman [enchanted slips used for long-distance messaging] before him, a ripple of emotion stirred in the depths of his eyes.

Sensing his shift in mood, Exquisite Jiang beside him could not help but ask with concern, "Are you preparing to depart?"

"Mm."

Eldrin Chen nodded, gently stroking her head. "Cultivation is like sailing a boat against the current. At my current stage, relying solely on arduous cultivation makes further progress exceedingly difficult."

"Now that my resources are depleted, encountering such an Opportunity and Fortune [a rare chance laden with potential benefits] is something I absolutely cannot afford to miss."

Exquisite Jiang [the Immortal Consort of the Chen Clan] nodded slightly, fully understanding the difficulties Eldrin Chen [the Patriarch of the Chen Clan] faced.

As early as over a dozen Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles] ago, Eldrin Chen had completely refined the remains of the Vermilion Bird Sage Ascendant [a supreme being who attained sagehood through the Vermilion Bird lineage]. Yet, his physical body cultivation had remained stagnant at the Primordial One Imperial Lord 8th Tier [the eighth level of the Primordial One Imperial Lord realm].

Such was the nature of Fleshly Body Sanctification [an art focused on forging an indestructible physical form]. It not only consumed resources at a rate dozens of times greater than the Path of Path Mastery [the standard cultivation path], but also, upon reaching higher realms, refining lower-tier resources yielded negligible improvement.

Without sufficient resources, Eldrin Chen estimated that relying solely on his own arduous cultivation to step into the Great Perfection Primordial One Imperial Lord [the perfected stage of the Primordial One Imperial Lord realm] would likely consume over a hundred thousand Kalpa Tribulation.

Considering this, Exquisite Jiang spoke, "It is just that the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm [a perilous dimension born from primordial chaos] is exceedingly dangerous. On this journey, your safety must remain paramount."

"There is no need for concern,"

Eldrin Chen replied with a light smile. "For this venture, not only will the Primordial Era Spirit Emperor [an ancient emperor from the dawn of time] and the Qilin Sage Ascendant [a sage who ascended via the Qilin lineage] accompany us, but I have also secured the assistance of Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor [a mighty emperor whose power rivals the deepest abyss]."

"Even should unforeseen events occur, we should possess the strength to ensure our own safety."

Only then did Exquisite Jiang nod in relief. In recent years, Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor had successfully completed his re-cultivation, achieving the ninth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art [a supreme art requiring nine cycles of profound refinement].

Following this breakthrough, Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor had cultivated all nine of the True Spirit Divine Runes [divine symbols containing the essence of primordial true spirits].

Among these nine True Spirit Divine Runes, aside from reserving one blank divine rune in preparation for cultivating the Chaos Divine Rune, the remaining eight Great God runes have all been forged into True Spirit Divine Form.

It can be said that Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor's current combat power has now fully entered the domain of Invincible Sage Ascendant, and is in no way inferior when compared to Eldrin Chen.

Being able to invite such a powerful expert to aid them was also a source of great satisfaction for Primordial Qilin Patriarch and Primordial Era Spirit Emperor.

Of course, according to the agreement, if they encounter Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy from which all things are born], Primordial Qilin Patriarch and Primordial Era Spirit Emperor will have the first choice.

As for Eldrin Chen and Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor, they were more concerned with resources for physical body cultivation, Chaos Rare Treasure [rare treasures born from primordial chaos], and the Opportunity and Fortune [the chance and luck required] to cultivate the Chaos Divine Rune and Chaos Divine Form.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin Chen bid farewell to his dao companions, then said with a grave expression, "Regarding this journey to the Chaos Desolation Sea, you should keep it confidential for now."

"If I do not return for a long time, you can say I went to explore the Chaos Desolation Sea. Remember, no one must know we entered the Incomplete Primordial Chaos Secret Realm [a secret realm containing fragments of the primordial chaos before creation]."

Exquisite Jiang nodded in agreement, and Verdant Consort also spoke up, "Husband, rest assured. We are more than capable of handling matters here in the Three Thousand Immortal Domains."

Eldrin Chen nodded. The Human Race Immortal Court [the ruling celestial court of the human race] was now strong and well-equipped, and Verdant Consort and the others had also stepped into the realm of Primordial One Imperial Lord 7th Tier, making their strength formidable.

Furthermore, Eldrin Chen had left behind four Great Emperor—Liana Great Emperor, Sword Mystery Great Emperor, Immortality Great Emperor, and Sword Abyss Great Emperor—to guard the realm. Their safety should be secure.

With these thoughts in mind, Eldrin Chen spoke no more. He departed the Immortal Court in utter silence, arriving within the Vast and Boundless Chaos.

There, at the edge of the Chaos Desolation Sea, within a Within the Chaos Lair belonging to a Nameless figure, three individuals had been waiting for some time: Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor, Primordial Mire Path Master, and Primordial Era Spirit Emperor.

Eldrin Chen clasped his hands towards the trio, a faint smile gracing his lips as he said, "I am a step behind. I hope my fellow Daoists will not take offense."

Primordial Qilin Patriarch chuckled lightly before replying, "We ourselves have only just arrived and have not waited long."

After exchanging glances, Primordial Era Spirit Emperor spoke up, "Before we set out, it would be wise to agree upon the distribution of any treasures we find, lest disputes arise later."

The others nodded in agreement. Within that Incomplete Primordial Chaos Secret Realm, it was highly probable they would encounter Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy from which all creation is born].

Such a treasure was of inestimable value, enough to stir the heart of even a Chaos Heavenly Emperor. Without prior agreement, it could easily lead to strife among them.

Though Eldrin Chen held no particular desire for the Chaos Genesis Energy, he still looked towards Primordial Qilin Patriarch and asked, "Shall we proceed as previously discussed?"

"Indeed," Primordial Qilin Patriarch affirmed with a nod. "As we agreed beforehand, should we discover Chaos Genesis Energy, I shall have the first choice."

"The order thereafter shall follow Fellow Daoist Spirit Emperor, then Fellow Cultivator Eldrin, and finally Fellow Daoist Obsidian Abyss."

The Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor [a title for a powerful demon emperor] nodded and then spoke, "Should we discover an Opportunity and Fortune [a chance or stroke of fate] that allows one to cultivate the Chaos Divine Rune [a supreme divine ability of primordial chaos], priority should be given to me."

"Should we discover a Chaos Attribute Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure imbued with the power of primordial chaos], priority should be given to Fellow Cultivator Eldrin. All other treasures will be distributed according to battle merit. Is this acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately established a Great Path Contract [a binding magical oath sworn upon the Great Path].

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight, approving nod. Legend held that a complete Primordial Chaos Secret Realm [a hidden realm born from primordial chaos] could nurture a Chaos Rare Treasure [an exceedingly rare treasure born of chaos] known as the 'Chaos Origin Pearl'.

That Chaos Origin Pearl was profoundly miraculous, capable of aiding one in cultivating the Ultimate Divine Rune [the pinnacle of divine rune arts] known as 'Chaos' [the state of embodying primordial chaos]. This was precisely the key reason Eldrin Chen had invited the Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor to participate.

Although the Chaos Origin Pearl was merely a Chaos Rare Treasure, and only increased the likelihood of successfully cultivating the Chaos Divine Rune by thirty percent, its value was often considered on par with a Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a spiritual artifact of chaos].

The reason was simple: the Ultimate Divine Rune was far too precious. It represented the highest aspiration for those pursuing Fleshly Body Sanctification [the path of refining one's physical body to a divine state].

It was also because of the 'Chaos Origin Pearl' that the Chaos Divine Rune was, among the four great Ultimate Divine Rune, the easiest True Spirit Divine Runes [divine runes of the True Spirit] to cultivate.

After all, a complete Primordial Chaos Secret Realm would typically nurture at least one Chaos Origin Pearl.

Returning to the matter at hand, after the four had all established their Great Path Contract, the Primordial Qilin Patriarch [the ancient progenitor of the Qilin race] spoke with a gentle smile, "Now that our pact is sworn, let us depart immediately."

The rest of the group also broke into smiles, and without a moment's further hesitation, they set off towards the Depths of Chaos.

"..."

The party journeyed ceaselessly through the Chaos Desolation Sea. To avoid being tracked, the Primordial Qilin Patriarch led them on a winding path, even tearing through the void to teleport vast distances on multiple occasions.

After a journey spanning over a dozen Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles], they finally arrived before a vast and imposing Desolate Domain.

"A Chaos Desolate Domain,"

Eldrin Chen spoke slowly, a flicker of surprise in his gaze.

The Primordial Mire Path Master gave a light chuckle before explaining, "Deep within this Desolate Domain Forbidden Land lies an entrance to a shattered Chaos Domain."

"Fellow Daoist Spirit Emperor and I ventured inside three times, but each attempt ended in a crushing defeat. We even paid a significant price for it."

As he spoke, the Primordial Mire Path Master suddenly frowned, his expression shifting as he looked at the entrance to the Desolate Domain. "Something's wrong."

"What is it?"

Eldrin Chen paused for a moment, a flicker of surprise crossing his features before he spoke up to inquire.

Without answering, Primordial Mire Path Master immediately activated a secret technique to veil the auras of the group. His gaze then settled on a seemingly ordinary stone deep within the Desolate Domain as he explained.

"To prevent others from entering the Incomplete Primordial Chaos Secret Realm, I left behind certain... contingencies."

"This stone is one such contingency. It can sense auras at the Sage Ascendant [a realm just below the legendary Sages] level and record them."

As he spoke, Primordial Mire Path Master drew the stone into his hand and channeled his Great Path Authority [the profound power and comprehension of one's cultivated Dao] to activate it.

Instantly, the stone erupted with a dazzling light, revealing several auras of immense, terrifying power.

"These are..."

Primordial Era Spirit Emperor's expression shifted, his face growing solemn as he spoke with grave concern. "Five auras at the Sage Ascendant level. And each one feels... formidably potent."

"It seems this place has been discovered by others,"

Primordial Mire Path Master stated flatly. He channeled more energy, causing the recorded auras to coalesce and finally manifest as five indistinct, shadowy figures.

Eldrin Chen cast his gaze upon one of the figures, a flicker of recognition in his eyes. "The Heaven and Earth Sage Ascendant," he murmured, "I never imagined he would be here."

Among those five supremely powerful figures, each radiated an aura of immense and formidable might.

One of them was wreathed in the Heaven and Earth Great Path [a supreme cultivation art embodying the principles of heaven and earth], clearly no ordinary Sage Ascendant [a cultivator who has ascended to the peak of the Sage realm, one step below the Path Ancestor].

The Obsidian Abyss Great Emperor also spoke, his gaze calm and measured. "The Heaven and Earth Sage Ascendant has mastered a Great Path [a supreme cultivation art representing a fundamental cosmic principle] that contains a full nine Great Path Divine Forms [divine manifestations of a Great Path's power]. His strength is likely not to be underestimated."

"In my younger years, I crossed blades with him on several occasions," the Great Emperor continued, "and the contests always ended in a stalemate."

The Primordial Qilin Patriarch spoke up, a trace of solemnity coloring his expression. "Indeed, he is a formidable foe."

For his part, Eldrin Chen felt a surge of anticipation. When he had first returned to the Southern Abyss Seven Domains, he had intended to deal with this very Heaven and Earth Sage Ascendant.

Yet, the Heaven and Earth Sage Ascendant seemed to have already departed, vanishing from the Southern Abyss Seven Domains before Eldrin Chen could pinpoint his location.

Now that he had found him, if he could reclaim the Heaven and Earth Cauldron [a legendary cauldron artifact of immense power], Eldrin Chen might just have the opportunity to repair the Chaos Spiritual Artifact [a primordial artifact born from chaos], the Heaven and Earth Cauldron itself.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen turned his attention to the other four figures. "The Heaven and Earth Sage Ascendant alone would not be too difficult to handle," he said. "But do any of you know the origins of these other four?"

The Qilin Sage Ascendant pondered for a moment, stroking his long beard before speaking. "The remaining four are the Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor, the Verdant Crane Sage Ascendant, the Myriad Stars Patriarch, and the Flame Soul Sacred Venerable."

As his words faded, the old man known as the Primordial Mire began to recount the origins of these four figures.

Having attained the Sage Ascendant realm for over a million Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles], the Primordial Qilin Ancestor participated in the Barter Convention held in the Blazing Central Primordial Domain once every three thousand Kalpa Tribulation.

To this day, he had attended this gathering hundreds of times. Having met most of the Sage Ascendant beings within the vast expanse of the Chaos Desolation Sea, his experience and knowledge far surpassed what Eldrin Chen could fathom.

He recounted the formidable strengths of these four great Sage Ascendant to Eldrin Chen as if listing treasures from his own hoard.

Among these four Sage Ascendant, the Desolate Dragon Quasi-Emperor walked the Path of Fleshly Body Sanctification [a cultivation path focused on perfecting the physical form to a divine state] and was one of the supreme powerhouses within a certain Chaos Domain.

This individual had cultivated the Nine True Spirit Divine Forms [a supreme divine ability involving nine perfected spiritual manifestations]. However, he had not taken the final step to completely merge these nine forms into one, thus his combat power remained at the level of an Invincible Sage Ascendant.

According to the words of the Primordial Qilin Patriarch, this being had once defeated a joint assault by three Top-Tier Sage Ascendant opponents, marking him as a rare and peerless powerhouse.

The other three were all Path Mastery Sage Ascendant. Among them, the Flame Soul Sacred Venerable possessed immense power, commanding nine Great Path Divine Form [divine manifestations of a supreme cultivation path] derived from an Innate Great Path [a cultivation art born from a fundamental cosmic principle]. His strength was not inferior to that of the Ancient One of Heaven and Earth.

As for the Verdant Crane Sage Ascendant and the Myriad Stars Patriarch, although they had attained the Sage Ascendant realm many years ago, they had only cultivated Six Paths True Spirit Divine Forms. Their power was slightly less, by about half a measure, compared to the Primordial Era Spirit Emperor.

"One Invincible Sage Ascendant [a supreme cultivator whose power is considered unmatched within their realm], two Top-Tier Sage Ascendant [cultivators at the very peak of the Sage Ascendant realm], and two other formidable Sage Ascendant [powerful beings who have ascended to a sage-like state]. If they were to seize the Chaos Genesis Energy [the primordial energy from which all creation springs], the consequences would be dire indeed."

Primordial Era Spirit Emperor [an ancient sovereign from the dawn of time] furrowed his brow slightly, a shadow of gravity settling upon his features.

Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke up, "Fortunately, we discovered them first. This situation still holds a chance for us to turn the tide."

Primordial Mire Path Master [a master of the primordial, murky path] observed the scene and stated plainly, "That Primordial Chaos Secret Realm [a hidden domain of primordial, unformed chaos] will not be easily subdued. Let them serve as our vanguard."

"We shall conceal our auras and enter. It will not be too late to act at the critical moment."
