Chapter 1957 : Killing Spree

"Husband, I shall aid you!"

In an instant, Lyra (Person Name), Qing Ji, Seraphina Qu (Person Name), the Violet Ultimate Ancient Phoenix, and others all extended their aid without hesitation.

Even Chen Ethan, Lila, and Yan Zijie, among others, instantly tore through the void and joined the battlefield without delay.

Eldrin harnessed the Chaos Primordial Qi to block the opponent's assault, then declared, "Without cultivation at the mid-Great Perfection stage, none may enter this battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiyuan, Ao Hong, and Lulu’s expressions shifted repeatedly, yet in the end, they restrained themselves from joining the battlefield.

Their cultivation bases were insufficient; once they joined a battle of this level, the likelihood of falling would be immense.

Thinking of this, they ultimately suppressed their killing intent and remained within the formation, intending to utilize the grand array's power while awaiting reinforcements.

At the same time, seeing the others rushing to assist, the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull let out a cold sneer and said, "Perfect timing to wipe you all out in 1 fell swoop."

As the words fell, the Primal Chaos Kui Bull harnessed the power of the Divine Thunder Lance and charged directly toward the Violet Zenith Ancient Phoenix in a fierce clash.

"I shall lend you my aid."

Seraphina Qu understood that the Violet Ultimate Ancient Phoenix was no match for the Primal Chaos Kui Bull. Without hesitation, she summoned the 9 Extinctions Soul-Severing Sword, cutting across the heavens as she soared to lend the Violet Ultimate Ancient Phoenix a helping hand.

Yet 1 had to admit, these 6 rivals contending for the Dao were truly formidable.

Aside from the Primordial Chaos Kui Ox and the Pure Sun Immortal Lord, both at the Eighth Level of the Great Luo Realm, the Mysterious Nether Ghost Ancestor and the Wuji True Lord had also attained the Eighth Level of Great Luo cultivation. The Golden-Winged Demon Lord was slightly inferior, having reached the Seventh Level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

Among the 6, the strongest, Elder Qingji, had even reached the pinnacle of the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Immortal.

These 6 formidable foes possessed truly astonishing power.

Eldrin (Person Name) harnessed the Abyssal Seal, immediately intercepting Patriarch Qingji and erupting into an unparalleled, epoch-defining battle of ultimate extremes.

Lyra stood against the Netherghost Patriarch, while Verdant Maiden confronted the Pure Yang Immortal Lord. The remaining trio—Chen Ethan, Lila, and Violet Banquet Immortal—joined forces to engage the Golden-Winged Demon Monarch in battle.

Over these years, Chen Ethan, Lila, and Yan Zi Ji had all broken through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. However, their foundations were not as solid as those of Lyra and Qing Ji. After this breakthrough, their cultivation had yet to reach the seventh-level domain of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The 3 of them now stood with half a foot in the threshold of the Great Perfection Seventh Layer in terms of combat prowess, yet they ultimately remained half a step away. Only by joining forces could they contend with the Golden-Winged Demon Lord.

To their astonishment, each of these 6 formidable foes possessed astonishing power.

Even the weakest Golden-Winged Demon Lord had reached the pinnacle of the Seventh Heaven of the Great Overarching realm. His combat prowess allowed him to contend against 2 opponents of equal cultivation, relentlessly suppressing the 3 adversaries until they staggered in retreat.

Lyra and Qing Ji's opponents were exceptionally formidable. Even though they had each cultivated several True Spiritual Roots as their foundation, they still found it difficult to break the deadlock outright. In fact, they were gradually being pushed to the defensive.

"Your strength is unexpectedly formidable."

Eldrin Immortal Monarch’s heart trembled with shock, his expression turning gravely solemn as he declared, “It seems today, none of you shall be spared.”

Clang—

As soon as the words of the Wuji Immortal Lord fell, he immediately rode his celestial halberd and charged forth to suppress his foe.

Facing the pincer attack from Wuji Immortal Lord, Eldrin felt a trace of pressure. He was already under immense strain dealing with Patriarch Qingji alone, let alone now with another powerful foe joining the fray.

But Eldrin’s cultivation foundation was anything but ordinary. In that critical moment, he swiftly wielded the Chaos Heavenly Halberd to confront Patriarch Qingji, and with a mere flick of his sleeve, he invoked the Chaos Soldier Derivation Art, manifesting 9 ancient soldiers of chaos to suppress Immortal Lord Wuji.

In the span of a mere instant, the 2 sides exchanged over a 1000 moves, nearly shattering the surrounding chaos itself. Yet Eldrin did not fall into the slightest disadvantage.

"Could this be an Embryonic Primordial Treasure?"

Seeing that he could not subdue Eldrin, even the Azure Pole True Monarch revealed a look of astonishment.

He scrutinized Eldrin's (Person Name) Abyssal Return Seal, unable to suppress a flicker of covetousness in his eyes.

The power of the Guixu Seal was truly astonishing, unleashing force comparable to a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, which even stirred a covetous gleam in True Monarch Qingji’s eyes.

At this thought, he could no longer afford to hold back his reserves. Tipping his head to the sky, he roared, "Eternal Life Ancient Seal!"

As the words faded, an immense ancient seal soared into the sky, descending upon Eldrin with the power to suppress all mortal realms.

"Damn, it's a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

Eldrin’s expression tightened slightly as he immediately summoned the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to block the attack. Yet, he still felt as though he were being crushed by a chaotic primordial realm, the pressure so immense it nearly bent his spine.

Supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures were exceedingly rare. On average, among 10 Great Perfection Golden Immortals, at most 3 would have the fortune to obtain 1. Who could have imagined that Verdant Wood True Monarch actually possessed 1 of these treasures.

"Hahaha, you insignificant whelp of the Returning Abyss, your final hour has come!"

Seeing Eldrin at a disadvantage, the Pure Sun Immortal Lord actually abandoned his current opponent Lyra and directly maneuvered the Pure Sun Immortal Furnace to suppress Eldrin.

In an instant, a deluge of Pure Yang Fire surged forth, seeking to reduce Eldrin to ashes of calamity.

"Husband!"

Lyra's expression shifted slightly as she sought to intervene, but Immortal Lord Wuji (Person Name) resolutely blocked her path.

But at that very moment, Immortal Lord Qingji's expression shifted slightly as he called out urgently, "Watch out..."

In an instant, the Ancient Seal of Longevity was sent flying backward from the impact, and immediately after, from within the boundless Pure Yang Heavenly Flames, a majestic and towering figure surged forth, cutting through the inferno.

"Chunyang, face your doom!"

Boom—

Before the Pure Yang Immortal Lord could even react, an unstoppable fist tore through the air and struck him squarely in the chest. The blow pierced straight through his torso, sending his entire body flying backward like a broken kite.

"Pfft—"

In an instant, the Pure Yang Immortal Lord was sent flying, blood spraying from his lips. Before departing, his gaze fell upon Eldrin standing firm against the heavens, the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos swirling around him, with 10 supreme immortal treasures concealed within the void.

"This is..."

Witnessing this scene, all the immortals were utterly astounded.

Pure Yang Immortal Lord’s pupils contracted in shock, his face a mask of disbelief. “This is the power of Dao mastery—you’ve actually comprehended an entire Great Dao!”

At this very moment, even Patriarch Qingji was moved.

In that very instant, Eldrin had directly activated the supreme authority of the Path of Self Sacrifice, summoning the 10 Great Immortal Treasures of the Path to descend upon him.

Even though these 10 great immortal treasures were incomplete, the power of the Dao's authority remained utterly astonishing—fully comparable to that of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, even brushing against the realm of the Eighth Heaven of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

With such power coursing through him, Eldrin’s combat strength surged once more, allowing him to shatter the suppression of the Longevity Ancient Seal.

All those present could clearly see that such a profound Great Dao was no ordinary innate path, but rather an entirely new cultivation system with limitless potential.

"Abyssal Return, I never imagined you possessed such remarkable talent."

Immortal Lord Qingji was visibly moved and could not help but speaking out, "Since you have already grasped the Great Dao, all that remains is to refine and perfect it. In time, you may even attain the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm. Why persist in pursuing the Path of Chaotic Undivided Great Dao—a road that leads only to ruin?"

"Should you relinquish the authority over the Dao of Life, we shall let bygones be bygones regarding today's affairs."

In that very moment, not only was Patriarch Qingji visibly shaken, but all others present were also seized by overwhelming panic in their hearts.

Originally, they had anticipated that Eldrin could never break through to the Chaos Celestial Emperor realm. Even if he had successfully established his True Spiritual Root foundation, so long as they stripped him of his authority over the Great Dao, he would undoubtedly be of no concern.

But now that Eldrin had founded the Sacrificial Self Dao—a brand new Great Dao with immense potential—even without the Chaos Infinite Dao, his future prospects could never be underestimated.

After all, once the Path of Self-Sacrifice reaches perfection, Eldrin, as the master of this Dao, would directly possess combat prowess comparable to a Primordial Chaos Emperor.

And if the Path of Self-Sacrifice were to reach perfection, then Eldrin would at the very least be a Dao Ancestor at the Quasi-Sage realm.

It could be said that unless the struggle for the Great Dao was unavoidable, they would never under any circumstances make an enemy of Eldrin.

"Is that so?"

Eldrin sneered coldly as he spoke. The Great Dao of Primordial Chaos was the very foundation of his existence. Once stripped of his authority over the Dao, he would have no choice but to rebuild his foundation from scratch. Even if he succeeded in reconstructing it, his strength, potential, and accumulated reserves would be drastically diminished.

Yet these people demanded the authority over the Great Dao as if it were a favor bestowed upon him.

"People never learn until it's too late."

Slaughter them—

Eldrin sneered as he struck, the Seal of Returning Abyss in his hands intertwining and shifting. It transformed into 10 divine treasures: twin swords, a precious mirror, an immortal lotus, an ancient bell, a celestial pagoda, a grand cauldron, an ethereal zither, an archaic seal, and a heavenly halberd.

10 supreme treasures spiraled through the air before descending into the 10 ethereal immortal repositories.

In an instant, the 10 Great Immortal Treasures bloomed with eternal radiance, as the Dao power of the Sacrificial Path surged to its absolute zenith.

Empowered by the True Spirit Treasure, the 10 Great Immortal Treasures instantly attracted the power of the Great Dao's origin. This force ultimately transformed into an unparalleled strength that infused Eldrin's physical body, even temporarily merging the foundations of the Great Dao and the Primordial Spirit into his flesh.

Eldrin felt as though his physical body had transformed into a new vessel of sacrifice, his cultivation soaring relentlessly until it reached the very pinnacle of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

In that moment, Eldrin felt an infinite cosmos unfolding within him, as primordial chaos energy surged through all directions of heaven and earth, manifesting supreme power capable of annihilating eternity itself.

"Die!"

Eldrin roared, channeling the Combat Slaughter Art as he instantly closed the distance before Immortal Lord Chunyang. With a single devastating punch, he shattered the immortal lord’s protective robes and nearly fractured his physical form entirely.

In an instant, the Pure Yang Immortal Lord let out a cry of terror and despair. Fleeing for his life, he cried out in panic and fury, "Save me..."

"How dare you!"

Elder Qingji witnessed this scene and was instantly enraged beyond measure.

He knew full well that if he failed to slay Eldrin now, he would be left with no burial ground for his bones in the future. Without hesitation, he guided the Ancient Seal of Longevity across the primordial chaos, bringing its crushing might down upon Eldrin.

Yet in that very instant, Eldrin remained utterly composed.

With a cold sneer, he raised his palm and struck down with a fist, instantly sending the Longevity Ancient Seal flying backward.

Qingji the Ancient finally showed a flicker of change in his expression and immediately declared, "Everyone, we can no longer hold back. Let us join forces and slay him together."

"Excellent—"

The Chaos Heaven Kui Bull spoke, immediately maneuvering the Divine Thunder Spear to pierce through the void and strike.

Lyra and the others' expressions shifted slightly as they immediately sought to intercept their opponents, yet in that very instant, they were forcibly teleported beyond the distant reaches of time and space by a surge of void energy.

Eldrin (Person Name) furrowed his brow slightly, raising his gaze to survey the surroundings. He realized that the Primal Chaos Kui Bull, the Celestial Sovereign of Earthly Halberds, the Golden-Winged Demon Lord, the Profound Abyss Ghost Ancestor, the Immortal Lord of Pure Yang, and the Azure Zenith Patriarch had somehow encircled him from all directions.

Xuanming Ghost Ancestor rode upon the Vast Domain Void-Sky Wheel, his expression icy as he declared, "The expanse of this Vast Domain Void-Sky Wheel is boundless. Not only does it possess the power to seal the void, but it can also temporarily banish foes beyond the distant shores of emptiness."

"I'm afraid your helpers won't be arriving anytime soon."

"Hahaha—"

Pure Yang Immortal Lord let out a nearly maniacal laugh, no longer maintaining his usual aura of noble purity and lofty pride.

He immediately summoned endless divine chains of the Great Dao to heal his wounds, then charged forth with the treasured pagoda and immortal furnace in hand to suppress his foe.

"Eldrin, this day shall be your demise—not even a burial plot shall remain to mark your end!"

"Is that so?" Eldrin retrieved the Crimson Flame Qi firefly, calmly pointing at the Pure Yang Immortal Lord as he declared, "In this battle, you shall be the first I slay!"

Pure Yang Immortal Lord felt a chill in his heart and immediately addressed the assembly, "Honored allies, if we join forces, we shall undoubtedly suppress this scourge completely!"

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, 6 peerless adversaries struck simultaneously.

The Immortal Furnace, the Treasure Seal, the Celestial Halberd, the Divine Spear, the Ancient Sword, the Nether Pool—1 supreme treasure after another descended from the heavens, each a top-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure of immense power.

I must admit, these 6 individuals before me truly possessed formidable strength. United in their assault, even a Great Perfection Golden Immortal might meet their demise.

Unfortunately, Eldrin was no ordinary man.

Slaughter them—

Facing the siege of the 6 supreme powerhouses, Eldrin remained remarkably composed. He pushed the 10 Great Void Celestial Treasures to their absolute limits, channeling all the power of the Abyssal Return Seal to empower this temporary Sacrificial Vessel body.

In an instant, Eldrin felt his physical body, Great Dao, and primordial spirit power intertwine, nearly reaching the pinnacle of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Boom—

Then, without hesitation, he activated the Chaos Weapon Forging Art, instantly manifesting 10 primordial chaos armaments that materialized across the sky—a great cauldron, an ancient sword, a divine furnace, a celestial halberd, war spears, and more.

Under the current infusion of Eldrin's (Person Name) magical power, each ancient soldier was nearly comparable to a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure.

In an instant, he harnessed the Chaos Armaments of 10 Directions to strike across all realms, fiercely battling 6 formidable foes throughout the cosmos.

This battle was far too intense and terrifying. From the very beginning, Eldrin had no intention of relying on the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss to escape. Instead, he harnessed every ounce of his power, resolved to fight to the death against these 6 formidable foes.

In an instant, the heavens crumbled and the earth split, the cosmic order was overturned, and even this primordial chaos trembled under the onslaught of the 7 combatants.

Spinning, reversing, recurring, annihilating, revolving...

1 surge of supreme power after another roiled the primordial chaos, stirring unimaginable phenomena. The shockwaves of the great battle shook the entire Eastern Li Flame Domain, leaving countless Golden Immortals astounded. Even 2 Chaos Origin Emperors turned their gazes toward the commotion.

"He forged an entirely new Dao. To become a Dao Sovereign at such a tender age—truly inconceivable."

The Flame Sovereign of Li murmured to himself, then after a long while shook his head and said, "A pity. This is merely a minor attainment of the Great Dao. To refine it to its grand completion would require at least 9 Golden Immortals of the Grand Luo to ascend through this very path."

"If it truly reaches that stage, His combat prowess will step into the domain of a Primordial Chaos Emperor."

The Flame Emperor spoke slowly, yet shook his head again moments later.

In his view, it was merely a nascent Great Dao. No matter how astonishing its potential might be, it most likely carried significant flaws.

For such an imperfect Great Dao to give birth to 9 Great Luo Golden Immortals is nothing short of a fool's dream—a feat not even a Primordial Chaos Emperor could accomplish.

While the Primordial Emperors of the Eastern Li Flame Domain were still reeling in shock, the war on this battlefield raged on.

Eldrin fought alone against 6 mighty foes, the cataclysmic upheavals of their battle sweeping through the primordial chaos of all realms. Unbeknownst to them, the conflict had persisted for over a million years.

In this million-year-long war, Eldrin was covered in wounds from head to toe, while the 6 formidable enemies were also drenched in blood, each having sustained grievous injuries.

They fought with such ferocity it bordered on madness, yet neither could gain a decisive advantage over the other.

The 6 powerhouses, including the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull, had initially come with the firm resolve to kill Eldrin. Yet the more they fought, the more utterly astounded they became.

Because Eldrin’s battle intent was utterly frenzied, the temporary manifestation of the Sacrificial Self Body by the Path of Self-Sacrifice was nearly indestructible and eternal, rivaling even immunity to magical power and the indestructible golden body.

Even with all 6 unleashing their ultimate techniques, even resorting to forbidden divine abilities at all costs, they still found it impossible to inflict fatal wounds upon Eldrin.

In contrast, Eldrin, wielding his myriad divine abilities, struck down foes from all directions. Unbeknownst to them, he had battered each until they were severely wounded, their primordial essence nearly depleted.

"Could this man truly possess an immortal body?"

Once more, the Mysterious Nether Ghost Ancestor activated the Cosmic Void Wheel, banishing the approaching reinforcements including Lyra (Person Name). His expression turned profoundly grave as he spoke.

At this very moment, everyone's throats went dry.

Patriarch Qingji maneuvered the Ancient Seal of Longevity to suppress Eldrin, his heart growing increasingly grave. A foreboding intuition told him that if the battle continued this way, the first to exhaust their vitality and reach the brink of collapse would likely be the 6 of them.

"The Great Calamity approaches, yet I am not skilled in the art of slaughter. It seems relying on these few worthless disciples will not be enough to slay the Abyssal Daoist of the Returning Abyss."

After a moment of contemplation within his heart, Patriarch Qingji ultimately decided to seek out another, more formidable Great Dao adversary of Eldrin (Person Name) for cooperation.

After a fleeting thought crossed his mind, he turned to the assembly and declared, "The Great Tribulation approaches. We can no longer afford to continue this conflict."

"This battle ends here. After the kalpa, we shall return to deal with the Daoist of the Returning Abyss."

As the words faded, Patriarch Qingji was the first to vanish into the void.

The other 5 all had their expressions shift drastically. The Netherghost Ancestor immediately activated the Cosmic Void Wheel and tore through the skies to escape.

The Immortal Lord of the Halberd, the Golden-Winged Demon Lord, and the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull followed suit, each being the first to tear through the primordial chaos and vanish into its depths.

Only the Pure Sun Immortal Lord, in the very moment he sought to flee, was intercepted by Eldrin (Person Name). Between them erupted a world-shaking confrontation.

The Pure Yang Immortal Lord, already grievously wounded, now faced Eldrin’s full-powered assault. Within mere moves, his physical form shattered into dissolution. His primordial spirit barely managed to seize control of the Pure Yang Heaven-Suppressing Tower, tearing through the void in a desperate escape.

Eldrin was about to give chase when Lyra rushed forward and exclaimed, "The Heavenly Tribulation is nearly upon us. You must cease this fight at once."

"Then I shall slaughter my way through this cosmic tribulation!"

Eldrin's eyes blazed with overwhelming killing intent as he spoke. In an instant, he cleaved through the chaotic void and vanished into the emptiness.

At that moment, Qing Ji and Seraphina Qu (Person Name) along with the others had also caught up. Their expressions shifted subtly upon witnessing the scene.

Lyra took a deep breath, glanced at Lila's crimson eyes, and sighed helplessly. "So be it," she said. "Let him vent his anger."

The others fell silent upon hearing this, offering no further remarks.

Seraphina Qu (Person Name) slowly exhaled before finally speaking, "What should we do?"

"1 must not tread lightly into the Quantitude Calamity." Lyra shook her head and sighed. "If he goes alone and slays the Pure Yang Immortal Lord, this tribulation shall be dissolved."
