Chapter 1934 : Great Luo Divine Armor

"Take it back with you."

Eldrin (Person Name) pondered briefly before speaking, "The Chaos Heavenly Realm lies enveloped by our 7 immortal domains. By placing this chaotic nest within it, not even other Great Luo Golden Immortals could infiltrate to spy without our detection."

With Eldrin's decision, the matter was thus settled.

The group then began transporting the Chaos Golden Ox Nest toward the Abyssal Ruins Immortal Realm.

The mid-grade Great Luo Chaos Nest was immensely vast. Even with the cultivation levels of Eldrin and his companions, it was exceedingly difficult to traverse the chaos while carrying it.

Fortunately, a full 10 Great Luo Golden Immortals joined forces, spending over 1,000,000 years to quietly relocate it within the 7 Great Immortal Domains.

After merging the Chaos Lair into the Returning Abyss Heavenly Domain, Eldrin gazed at Ao Hong with satisfaction and said, "Ao Hong, this Chaos Golden Bull Lair shall henceforth serve as your cultivation sanctuary and be entrusted to your guardianship."

Ao Hong’s face lit up with delight. As a newly ascended Chaos Fiendgod, he had yet to establish his own Great Perfection Dao Sanctuary. All these years, he had been cultivating while residing within the Primordial Ruins Immortal Domain.

With this Chaos Golden Bull Nest, he now possessed his own Great Luo Dao Field, which could also alleviate the pressure on the spiritual energy of the Nihility Immortal Domain.

At this thought, Ao Hong couldn't help but bow and say, "Many thanks, Master, for your generous gift."

"Then, the Primordial Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) and the Immortal Adamantine Vein here shall be entrusted to your guardianship."

Eldrin waved his hand dismissively, retrieving the accumulated Taiyi Essence Gold and Daluo Essence Gold from the ore vein before beginning to tally his gains.

After taking stock, everyone was inwardly startled, their faces increasingly lighting up with pleasant surprise.

This Chaos Golden Bull Nest truly lived up to its reputation as the supreme-grade Mid Great Perfection Chaos Nest, its profound foundations leaving 1 utterly astounded.

The resources they seized could be said to be astonishingly valuable, with the total worth starting at no less than several dozen strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance (Cultivation Resource).

Eldrin made a quick inventory and found a total of 17 strands of innate indestructible spiritual light, 10 Innate Spiritual Treasures, 12 Indestructible Golden Fruits, along with 4 Innate Divine Objects and 30 pieces of Great Luo refined gold.

These 17 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance were of immeasurable value. Eldrin collected them all, intending to reserve them for his future breakthrough to the middle stage of the Great Realm of the Golden Immortal.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) own estimation, for all 3 of his foundations to break through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, it would require consuming 30 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance—calculated at 10 strands per foundation.

Moreover, advancing the Void-Devouring Seal requires the consumption of a full 18 strands of Primordial Undying Radiance, so this current amount is clearly insufficient.

Fortunately, after Qing Ji attained the Great Luo realm, she had bestowed upon Eldrin (Person Name) 18 strands of Primordial Undying Spiritual Light. Combined with the 2 remaining strands from before, Eldrin (Person Name) now possessed 20 strands of Primordial Undying Spiritual Light in total.

All told, Eldrin now possessed 30-7 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance, leaving him not far from his goal.

Of course, Eldrin could also utilize the Primordial Immortal Radiance to compensate, but as his cultivation deepened, he gradually comprehended certain limitations within the Primordial Sutra.

Although the Primordial Chaos Sutra could condense Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light, there existed a predetermined limit to its manifestations in the cosmic order.

Before his breakthrough to the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm, Eldrin (Person Name) could at most condense just over 3,000 strands of Primordial Immortal Light, while his Primordial Source Qi (Innate Primordial Qi) was limited to a mere 30-6 strands.

Moreover, after advancing to the realm of Primordial Chaos Emperor, the amount of Primordial Immortal Light and Primordial Source Qi 1 could condense would increase severalfold. It was even possible to coalesce Primordial Genesis Qi, though there were still quantitative limitations.

Before Eldrin's (Person Name) cultivation could break through to the Chaos Heavenly Emperor realm, he could at most condense 9 strands of Primordial Inception Qi.

Therefore, before breaking through to the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm, Eldrin (Person Name) could not condense too many Primordial Immortal Luminescences. Considering he would later need to convert Primordial Immortal Luminescences into Innate Primordial Origin Qi, Eldrin (Person Name) had to use them sparingly.

Getting back to the main topic, after storing away the Primordial Indestructible Radiance, Eldrin gazed upon the 10 Primordial Spiritual Treasures in his hand, the 7 remains of Chaos Demons, and several other Primordial Divine Artifacts.

Among these 10 innate spiritual treasures, 6 were lower-grade innate spiritual treasures, 3 were middle-grade innate spiritual treasures, and 1 was upper-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Lower-grade innate spiritual treasures were merely common, while the 3 mid-grade innate spiritual treasures consisted of a Celestial Blade, an Immortal Golden Shield, and a suit of Gilded Battle Armor.

The sole supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure was the 'Golden Divine Spear' obtained from the Golden-Backed Savage Bull King.

From Eldrin's (Person Name) perspective, these innate spiritual treasures possessed considerable power, yet they were far from perfected. He remarked, "The crafting methods for these 10 innate spiritual treasures are crude. In a few days, I shall melt them down to refine several sets of immortal divine armor."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Most of these Primordial Chaos Demons' innate spiritual treasures were forged from Primordial Great Luo Refined Gold. If used to craft Indestructible Great Luo Divine Armor, they would possess extraordinary physical defense.

At that time, pairing with their physical bodies would undoubtedly greatly enhance their ability to preserve their lives.

After all, the various Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) had all cultivated indestructible bodies at the very least. While walking the path of mastering the Dao, they simultaneously honed their Great Luo Physiques.

If they could obtain another suit of Great Luo Divine Armor, it would undoubtedly elevate their strength to an even higher level.

Seeing that none of them had any objections, Eldrin continued, "With the flesh and blood of these 7 Chaos Fiends, my alchemy skills should yield approximately 30 Great Luo Immortal Pills. When the time comes, each of you may claim 3."

"If you wish to obtain the other treasures, you may exchange them with merit points in the future."

With that, Eldrin sent the others away, keeping only Qing Ji and Lyra along with a few other dao companions.

As the others departed, Eldrin divided the 12 Immortal Golden Fruits into 4 portions, presenting 3 of them to Seraphina Qu, Qing Ji, and Lyra.

Yan Zi Ji and Lila (Person Name) received nothing. Eldrin (Person Name) could only explain, "With limited resources at present, I have no choice but to concentrate what we have on the more powerful cultivation partners."

"When the Heaven and Earth Primordial Chaos Vase (Magic Treasure) ascends to a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure and becomes capable of accelerating the maturation of the Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), you shall all receive your share of these Immortal Golden Fruits."

The 2 women understood completely. Yan Zi Ji couldn't help but chuckle as she said, "Husband, you needn't worry too much. With sufficient 10 Revolutions Immortal Elixirs and Great Luo Golden Pills, we won't face any significant shortage of resources until we cultivate our Great Luo Physiques to the Fourth Realm."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Without another word, he rose to his feet and declared, "I shall enter seclusion to refine elixirs and forge artifacts. Should any of you wish to join me, you may accompany me."

"Very well, we shall assist you with the preparations."

The women spoke, a faint smile gracing their features.

With those final words, Eldrin returned to the Abyssal Immortal Realm and began refining the Great Luo Immortal Elixir.

With Eldrin's current alchemy skills, the difficulty of refining the Great Luo Immortal Pills had significantly diminished. With the assistance of his 5 dao companions, he was able to conserve considerable mental effort.

He first separated the precious materials from these Golden-backed Savage Bulls—the Great Luo divine bones, demon-god hearts, demon-god essence blood, and hides—before extracting their flesh and blood to begin refining the Great Luo Immortal Pills.

After nearly 1 million years of arduous effort, they successfully refined 7 cauldrons of elixirs, ultimately obtaining a total of 30-3 Great Luo Immortal Pills.

This was 3 more than anticipated, leaving Eldrin quite satisfied.

Moreover, it seemed that the abundance of flesh and blood from these Chaos Gods and Demons resulted in a more potent and refined efficacy when refined into Great Luo Immortal Pills.

Eldrin distributed 3 of these Great Luo Immortal Pills to each individual, including his Samsara Avatar, and retained the remaining 6 for himself.

However, Eldrin did not consume it immediately. Strictly speaking, the Great Luo Immortal Elixir was cultivation resource for mid-stage Golden Immortals of the Great Luo realm. Only 3 pills could be consumed per kalpa cycle, and unless 1 was determined to initiate the next Chaos War, even Eldrin would not hastily ingest it.

Having successfully refined the Great Luo Immortal Pill, Eldrin proceeded to process the Divine Demon's Blood and Heart, ultimately concocting 7 furnaces of Divine Demon Heartblood Pills.

This Divine Demon Heartblood Pill contained the essence of a Chaos Fiendheart’s vital energy, making it a potent tonic even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal. It could assist a fallen and revived Great Luo Golden Immortal in restoring their cultivation base, or help 1 whose power had declined due to wielding forbidden divine abilities to recover their strength.

Moreover, for those cultivating the Great Luo Physique, consuming this item could slightly increase their chances of breaking through to the middle stage of the Golden Immortal of the Great Luo.

However, each cauldron could only refine a single pill, and its efficacy depended on the rank of the Chaos Godfiend refining it. Generally, it could increase 1's chances of breaking through to the middle stage of the Great Unity Realm by approximately 10 to 30 percent.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, these 7 Divine Demon Heartblood Pills could increase his chances of success by 10 percent for the 4 low-grade ones and 20 percent for the 3 medium-grade ones.

Especially those refined from the Golden-backed Savage Bull King's Fiendgod Heart can achieve nearly 30 percent efficacy. They should fetch a considerable price—worth at least 4 or 5 strands of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light.

"Selling these 7 Divine Demon Heartblood Pills should fetch a rather handsome price."

Eldrin’s thoughts flickered, and his mind drifted once more to the Snow Soul Empress. He couldn’t help but glance at Seraphina Qu and remark, “Fellow Daoist Snow Soul’s cultivation has yet to fully recover. I imagine this treasure may hold some use for her as well.”

"You can go ask the 7 Radiance Immortals whether they desire this Godfiend Heartblood Elixir."

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) nodded upon hearing this, then said with a smile, "In a few days, I shall make a journey to the 7-Colors Immortal Realm."

Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly before continuing, "No need to rush. I shall first refine those innate spiritual treasures anew."

As he spoke, Eldrin arrived within the forbidden grounds of the Abyss and retrieved a considerable amount of Great Luo refined gold, along with 7 Chaos Godfiend skeletons and an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

He then retrieved the Cauldron of Creation and inquired, "I intend to reshape these Primordial Spiritual Treasures into Great Luo Divine Armor using these materials. Would you be willing to lend me your assistance, fellow Daoist?"

Immortal Auric Gold, Bones of Gods and Demons, Innate Spiritual Treasures…

The Cauldron of Creation observed for a moment before finally speaking, "These are all rarities possessing the attribute of Immortal Auric Metal. I can indeed assist in reforging them into new forms."

"However, to unleash its greater power, you must personally refine it through your own efforts."

Seeing that the Cauldron of Creation could accomplish this, Eldrin felt a surge of joy in his heart.

To melt and recast an innate spiritual treasure, even Eldrin's artifact forging skills were somewhat inadequate, as it could very likely damage the spiritual nature of these treasures.

After all, altering the form of an innate spiritual treasure is akin to reforging the foundation of an 8-Calamity Ancient Immortal. This is no feat an ordinary person could accomplish—the slightest misstep could shatter 1’s very foundation.

Only the Cauldron of Creation possesses the profound mystery of creating all things and perfectly reshaping 1's foundation.

At this thought, Eldrin immediately said, “I am grateful for your assistance, fellow Daoist.”

As the words faded, Eldrin immediately placed a low-grade innate spiritual treasure into it.

The Cauldron of Creation instantly trembled with a brilliant radiance, erupting with a deluge of primal qi that fused into the lower-grade innate spiritual treasure, beginning to dismantle its original form.

Innate Spiritual Treasures are born from the resonance of the Great Dao, inherently serving as vessels of the Dao itself. From the very moment they take form, their nature becomes nearly immutable.

Fortunately, the Cauldron of Creation truly lived up to its origin as a fragment of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, possessing the genuine ability to perfectly reshape an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) swiftly retrieved a piece of Great Luo Gold Essence and fused it within, then began channeling his magic power to inscribe the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos and Infinity.

Eldrin's Great Dao of Primordial Chaos stands as 1 of the most formidable supreme paths in existence. It possesses astonishing resistance to aberrant energies, rivaling even complete magic immunity in its defiance against sorcerous arts and divine abilities.

When it comes to physical resistance, it rivals even Immortal Refined Gold.

Eldrin engraved it upon the reforged Great Luo Divine Armor precisely to enhance its capabilities, even compensating for the relatively weaker magic resistance of Immortal Refined Gold.

Alas, during the refinement process, Eldrin discovered that the Grand Luo Divine Armor lacked sufficient innate Dao patterns, making it impossible to inscribe the complete Great Dao of Primordial Chaos and Infinite Nothingness.

After all, it was merely a lower-grade innate spiritual treasure, so Eldrin didn't dare to demand too much.

Thus, he settled for the next best option, carving only the Dao patterns related to mana resistance, yet he found it still somewhat inadequate.

In the end, Eldrin could only carve the embryonic form of the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, preserving a partial effect of spell immunity—capable of neutralizing approximately 70% of magical assaults from early-stage Great Roaming Golden Immortals.

However, once the opponent's cultivation reaches the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, its effectiveness would be reduced to 50 percent.

If the opponent's cultivation reaches the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the mana immunity effect will diminish to a mere 30 percent, with the risk of being completely shattered.

However, no matter what, the Great Luo Divine Armor does not consume magical power—it is essentially an additional layer of defense.

Even the weakest early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, with the added defense of the Great Luo Divine Armor, should be able to avoid being killed in a single strike when facing a seventh-level Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, this Great Luo Divine Armor could provide immense physical resistance, significantly reducing the physical attacks of early to mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals. It could even grant complete immunity to 90 percent of the damage from early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals' physical assaults.

Such an effect could truly be called extraordinary.

"This Lower Grade Daluo Divine Armor is simply too mediocre in its effects."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, still unimpressed by what he saw. After all, the defensive power of this Great Luo Divine Armor paled in comparison to his own physical body.

He proceeded to craft the second Great Luo Divine Armor, this time incorporating the remains of a Golden-backed Savage Ox into the forging process.

The remains of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the early stage truly possessed extraordinary effects.

Eldrin discovered that after integrating this relic bone, the number of innate Dao patterns that could be inscribed had significantly increased. The resulting magic resistance effect was enhanced by over 30 percent compared to the previous state.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 1 The biting mountain wind whipped across the jagged peaks, carrying with it the scent of pine and decay. A lone figure stood at the edge of a cliff, his threadbare grey robes fluttering like tattered flags. This was Lin Xuan, an outer sect disciple of the Azure Mist Sect. He clutched a dull grey stone in his palm—his final, lowest-grade spirit stone. "Just 1 more attempt," he whispered, his voice barely audible over the wind. "The third level of the Qi Condensation realm must be within reach." Closing his eyes, he began circulating the Basic Cloud Art (Cultivation Method), drawing the meager wisps of spiritual energy from the stone. The energy flowed through his meridians, a familiar, faint warmth that promised power yet delivered only frustration. For 3 years, he had been stuck at the second level, watching as disciples who joined after him progressed steadily. Suddenly, a sharp, mocking laugh cut through his concentration. "Well, if it isn't Brother Lin, still trying to squeeze water from a stone?" Lin Xuan's eyes snapped open. Before him stood Zhang Hu, a bulky disciple known for his bullying nature and his recent advancement to the fourth level of Qi Condensation. 2 lackeys flanked him, smirking. "Zhang Hu," Lin Xuan said, his voice flat. He tightened his grip on the now-useless spirit stone, its energy fully depleted. "Still at the second level? Pathetic," Zhang Hu sneered, stepping closer. "You know, the sect is allocating an additional 500 spirit stones to outer sect disciples this month. But trash like you doesn't deserve a share. Hand over whatever you have left." Lin Xuan's heart sank. He had nothing left to hand over. "I have nothing." "Nothing?" Zhang Hu's eyes glinted maliciously. "Then we'll take it out of your hide!" He gestured to his lackeys, who cracked their knuckles. A cold fury, banked for years, began to simmer within Lin Xuan. He wouldn't be humiliated again. As the first lackey lunged, Lin Xuan sidestepped, his movements honed by countless hours of basic forms practice. He drove his palm toward the disciple's chest. It was a futile gesture. The lackey, at the third level of Qi Condensation, easily blocked it and countered with a fist wrapped in faint spiritual light. *THUD!* The blow connected with Lin Xuan's ribs, sending him staggering back, pain flaring through his side. He coughed, the metallic taste of blood filling his mouth. "See? Utterly worthless," Zhang Hu laughed. "You're a stain on the Azure Mist Sect's name." He didn't even bother to draw his own weapon, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), which was strapped to his back. The 2 lackeys advanced again, their fists and feet striking him relentlessly. Lin Xuan curled up, trying to protect his head, each impact a fresh wave of agony. The coppery taste in his mouth grew stronger. Through a haze of pain, he saw the contempt in their eyes, heard their cruel laughter echoing his own internal doubts. *Is this it? Is this all my life will ever be? Beaten and broken on a forgotten mountain peak?* As a particularly vicious kick landed on his back, his body was shoved toward the cliff's edge. His hand, scrabbling for purchase, brushed against something smooth and cool hidden amongst the rocks. In that moment of utter despair and physical torment, as his blood dripped onto the hidden object, a voice, ancient and resonant, echoed directly within his mind, bypassing his ears entirely. *"After 100,000 years... finally, a successor?"*
