Chapter 1961 : 9 Deaths Nirvana Pearl

As he gazed upon the letter before him, a faint flicker stirred within Eldrin's eyes.

It turned out this letter was from none other than their neighbor in the Eastern Li Flame Domain—Immortal Lord Donghua.

In the distant Chaos War years ago, Immortal Lord Donghua had obtained a considerable opportunity. Having accumulated sufficient foundation, he now stood ready to breach the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, the resources required by the Eastern Glory Immortal Lord were insufficient, hence he sought to strike a deal with Eldrin (Person Name).

After reading the letter, Eldrin fell into brief contemplation before speaking, "The Eastern Florescence Immortal Lord wishes to trade with us for some Peaches of Immortality and Heartblood Pills of Divinity and Demons. He intends to use them as supplementary aids for his breakthrough to the eighth layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name)'s gaze flickered subtly.

The flat peach borne from the Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) can replenish 1's innate essence, proving quite useful for Great Luo Golden Immortals (Cultivation Realm) in cultivating their magical power. It may also provide slight assistance in breaking through cultivation barriers.

The Divine Demon Heartblood Pill could slightly increase the probability of a Golden Immortal breaking through realms, making its value extraordinarily high.

The Divine Demon Heartblood Elixir required by Immortal Lord Donghua was certainly no ordinary variant, but a supreme-grade immortal pill refined from the hearts of either the 9 Extremities Divine Lord or 1 of the 3 Divine Generals.

At this thought, Lyra smiled and said, "We're currently short on resources, so let's make a deal with him."

"Hmm."

Eldrin gave a slight nod and departed from the cave abode, then sent a letter to Immortal Lord Donghua.

Not long after the letter was dispatched, Lord Donghua arrived at the Return to Abyss Immortal Domain. Upon seeing Eldrin, he smiled and said, "It has been several kalpas since we last met. I never imagined you would have already forged such a renowned reputation, truly earning my admiration."

"You flatter me, Fellow Practitioner. Your own cultivation has reached the profound and unfathomable realm."

Eldrin smiled and invited the Eastern Florescence Immortal Monarch into the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss.

The 2 sat beneath the ancient Peachtree of Longevity. Eldrin personally brewed a pot of tea, his gaze subtly shifting as he remarked, "I heard you performed extraordinary feats in the recent campaign. It seems you've encountered quite a few serendipitous opportunities."

Donghua Immortal Lord waved his hand, then said with a gentle smile, "After this war concluded, Flame Emperor Li bestowed upon me several fortuitous opportunities."

Eldrin nodded upon hearing this. During this Chaotic War, the dozens of Immortal Lords from the 30-6 immortal domains at the frontlines were all under unified command. All captured treasures were gathered into the hands of Li Flame Emperor.

After the war concluded, they would distribute the spoils according to military merits.

In addition, the Flame Emperor would personally contribute some treasures from his own collection to generously reward those who had distinguished themselves in the war.

In truth, given the military achievements of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), they were indeed qualified to receive substantial rewards.

However, the Eldrin Clan of the Returning Abyss was not deployed on the front lines, so all captured treasures remained entirely in their possession without needing to be surrendered to the Li Flame Emperor. Consequently, they received no military merit allocations, nor did the Li Flame Emperor bestow any significant rewards upon them.

At this thought, Eldrin couldn't help but marvel, "It seems it won't be long before our Eastern Li Flame Domain gains another supreme Great Perfection Eighth-Layer cultivator."

Donghua Emperor's countenance remained placid, yet a faint smile surfaced within the depths of his gaze.

He had only experienced a little over 3 100 kalpas since attaining the Dao, yet he was already attempting to break through to the Eighth Heaven of the Golden Immortal of the Great Ro. Such cultivation speed was considered remarkably fast even among Golden Immortals of the Great Ro.

Along the way, he encountered almost no significant bottlenecks, save for the intermittent scarcity of cultivation resources. He would often find himself stalled for dozens of kalpas due to a lack of Primordial Indestructible Radiance or breakthrough materials.

Lack of cultivation resources is the most common predicament among Great Luo Golden Immortals. Many find their cultivation stagnating for over a 100 kalpas simply because they lack a single strand of innate indestructible radiance.

Without launching the Chaos War, obtaining the Primordial Indestructible Radiance would be immensely difficult even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

To initiate the Chaos War would mean facing grave peril in every single battle.

To return to our story, after a moment of contemplation, Immortal Lord Donghua spoke, "Although the opportunity bestowed by the Celestial Emperor is precious, I cannot guarantee a breakthrough to the eighth level of the Grand Luo Realm."

"Fellow Daoist, the Divine Demon Heartblood Elixir in your possession is something I urgently require."

Eldrin nodded and spoke calmly, "I possess 4 God-Demon Heartblood Pills, all of exceptional quality and supreme grade. I wonder what you would be willing to offer in exchange, fellow Daoist?"

"Innate Indestructible Radiance, would that suffice?"

Donghua Immortal Lord's eyes glimmered faintly as he immediately spoke.

Eldrin nodded, then produced 4 Divine Demon Heartblood Pills. After letting the Eastern Florescence Immortal Lord inspect their quality, he said, "This 1 for the 9 Extremities Divine Lord is valued at 20 strands of Primordial Unending Spiritual Light. The remaining 3 are priced at 9 strands each. What do you think?"

Lord Donghua’s heart swelled with delight, but as he glanced at the Divine Demon Heartblood Pill offered by the 9 Extremes Divine Lord, a trace of lingering reluctance surfaced in his expression.

The potency of 9 Extremities Divine Lord's Divine Demon Heart Elixir was exceptionally formidable; even for breaking through to the ninth level of the Great Luo Realm, it could increase the probability by 20 percent.

Such a precious elixir, its value goes without saying. Unfortunately, given his current financial standing, he couldn't bring himself to spend his resources on such a supreme treasure.

After a moment of contemplation, he ultimately chose another top-grade Divine Demon Heartblood Pill and exchanged 3 strands of Innate Indestructible Spirit Light for some Peaches of Immortality to serve as supplementary resources.

After exchanging for these resources, Eldrin obtained 12 strands of Primordial Indestructible Spirit Light.

A flicker of delight crossed his face, but then he seemed to recall something and couldn't help asking, "Might I inquire, Fellow Daoist, what kind of peerless treasure you used as the core artifact to breakthrough to the Eighth Heaven of the Great Luo Realm?"

Great Dao Source Marrow.

Donghua Immortal Lord (Person Name) spoke, his gaze slightly intensifying as he said.

Eldrin nodded, his expression growing solemn. After an immortal breaks through to the seventh level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, ordinary cultivation resources become virtually useless for making further progress in cultivation.

Even Great Luo Immortal Pills, Indestructible Golden Fruits, and Soul-Nourishing Wood would see their cultivation efficacy reduced by 90-9 percent for those at the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

As far as Eldrin (Person Name) knew, the items capable of helping a Great Perfected Golden Immortal in the late stage break through their cultivation were almost all genuine Primordial Objects, or fruits borne from supreme-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root).

For this very reason, those who had reached the seventh level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and beyond had only 2 paths to advance their cultivation: either endure through arduous self-tempering, or slay their nemeses of the Great Dao and refine their opponents' origin essence.

The Great Dao Source Marrow is condensed from the very essence of the Great Dao. Typically, only Chaos Nests of the Primordial Chaos level can gestate a small amount of it. Its value is often exceedingly high, yet it can aid a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal in breaking through their own bottleneck.

Even for a Primordial Emperor, obtaining such a treasure was exceedingly difficult, a testament to its staggering value.

At this thought, Eldrin could not help but speak: "Fellow Daoist, do you have any surplus Great Dao Origin Marrow?"

Elder Immortal Donghua was momentarily taken aback before responding, "I do happen to have some reserves accumulated. Could it be that you seek this very item, Fellow Daoist?"

Eldrin shook his head and spoke, "I know a fellow cultivator who might need this."

"Fellow Daoist?" A flicker of recognition passed through Immortal Lord Donghua's eyes as he spoke involuntarily, "Could it be the Violet Zenith Ancient Phoenix?"

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded without another word.

Observing this, Lord Donghua remarked, "If she can present a treasure of equivalent value, I would be willing to make the exchange."

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist."

Eldrin spoke, then rose and made his way into the Chaotic Heavenly Domain, where he found the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix in secluded cultivation.

After so many years apart, the Violetpole Ancient Phoenix's injuries had completely healed, and her cultivation base had been further consolidated, seemingly allowing her to touch the threshold of the Eighth Heaven of the Great Luo.

Over these several kalpas, the Violet Phoenix spent most of her time recuperating from injuries, yet this inadvertently aligned with the principle of "breaking to remake"—steadily consolidating her cultivation base without even realizing it.

"It seems she might be ready to attempt a breakthrough to the Eighth Heaven of the Great Luo."

Eldrin’s thoughts flickered briefly before he confided the matter of the Great Dao Source Marrow to the Violet Extreme Ancient Phoenix.

The Violet-Pole Ancient Phoenix revealed a look of pleasant surprise upon hearing this, then without the slightest hesitation followed Eldrin (Person Name) away.

Arriving within the Eldrin Immortal Realm, the 3 figures took their seats 1 after another. The Violet Zenith Phoenix immediately turned her gaze toward the Eastern Radiance Immortal Lord and inquired, "Fellow Daoist, have you brought the Great Dao Source Marrow with you?"

Donghua Immortal Lord’s expression turned grave as he solemnly retrieved an ancient piece of jade marrow from his sleeve.

This piece of jade marrow was exceptionally pure, brimming with the primordial power of the Great Dao, yet it was several times more vast and refined than the Great Dao's essence itself.

Eldrin glanced over, a faint flicker of movement passing through his gaze.

If the Primordial Dao Source could enable a Great Perfection Golden Immortal to break through to the mid-stage Great Perfection realm, then this Primordial Dao Marrow—being the condensed essence of the Primordial Dao Source—would have an effect that was not merely several times greater than the former.

Such a treasure, no wonder even with Lord Donghua's level of cultivation, he would exercise such caution.

"Indeed, it is the Great Dao Source Marrow."

The Violet-Polaris Ancient Phoenix spoke, then gravely retrieved a blood-red jade the size of a fingernail from her sleeve. With solemnity in her voice, she said, "I offer this in exchange. Would that suffice?"

"Chaos Phoenix Blood Stone?"

Donghua Immortal Lord's expression shifted slightly, revealing a look of astonishment.

Eldrin was equally astonished. The Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone was formed from the condensed essence blood of a celestial phoenix's life force. The greater the cultivation base of its original owner, the more precious the resulting Phoenix Bloodstone would be.

Before him, this Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone brimmed with an overwhelmingly domineering aura of the Thunder Dao. Its presence far surpassed the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal—it was at least left behind by a Great Perfection Chaos Origin Emperor, and very likely, it originated from an existence at the Quasi-Sage level.

It can be said that this Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone possesses the power of nirvanic rebirth, capable of enhancing a Chaos Godfiend’s latent potential and foundational reserves, thereby increasing the likelihood of future realm breakthroughs. Remarkably, it remains effective even for Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"With this Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone, Qinglong's breakthrough to the seventh layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm would be assured."

"Alas, this Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone is too small, merely transformed from a single drop of essence blood. If only it were the size of a fist..."

Lord Donghua murmured inwardly before shaking his head once more.

If the Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone were the size of a fist, it would be immensely valuable even for a Chaos Demon God’s breakthrough to the Primordial Chaos Emperor realm. The Violet Extreme Ancient Phoenix would never have brought it out.

At this thought, Immortal Lord Donghua spoke, "This object holds great value for the Azure Dragon under my command. I shall offer you an exchange for it."

The Violet-Pole Ancient Phoenix nodded slightly and immediately completed the transaction with him.

After concluding the transaction, the 3 conversed briefly before Eldrin saw the Eastern Florescence Immortal Lord off to the Return to the Void Celestial Realm.

After he had departed, Eldrin looked at the Violet Extreme Ancient Phoenix and could not help but say with a smile, "I never expected you to possess such a treasure, fellow Daoist."

The Violet-Polaris Ancient Phoenix shook her head, let out a soft sigh, and began to recount the origins of the Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone to Eldrin.

It turned out that the mother of the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix originated from beyond the 13 Domains of the Northern and Southern Heavenly Abyss, and was originally a being whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Primordial Chaos Emperor.

Approximately 3 1000 kalpas ago, She conceived the Violet Ultimate Ancient Phoenix, only to be ambushed by a nemesis of the Great Dao at this critical juncture.

Pregnant with child, the mother of the Purple Extremity Ancient Phoenix was forced to flee, inadvertently crossing the Chaotic Desolate Sea until she arrived within the 13 Domains of the Northern and Southern Celestial Abyss.

Thereafter, He gave birth to the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix in the vicinity of the 3,000 Immortal Domains.

For the war had not yet ended, the mother of the Violetpole Ancient Phoenix had no choice but to leave her child behind and brave the treacherous World Barren Sea alone, crossing over from the 13 Domains of Northern and Southern Celestial Abyss to aid her kin.

After comprehending all of this, Eldrin couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "Do you know what kind of world exists beyond the 13 Domains of the Heavenly Abyss?"

The Violet-Polaris Ancient Phoenix shook her head and, after a long silence, said, "I was born and raised within the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss, never having seen the world beyond."

"But before my mother departed, she once told me that the foundation of their realm is truly terrifying. Not only do they possess supreme experts at the level of Chaos Heavenly Emperors, but also Ancestral Dao Unification masters of the second Chaos Realm. The 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss simply cannot compare."

As the Violetpole Ancient Phoenix recounted the tale in a measured tone, Eldrin gradually came to understand the structure of the primordial chaos.

In the vast expanse of the primordial chaos, the overwhelming majority of realms were known as the Chaotic Barren Sea.

The so-called Primordial Chaos Sea refers to desolate and primordial lands, akin to the primordial wilderness of antiquity, or the vast, uninhabited mountain ranges of the mortal realm, where scarcely any sentient beings dwell.

The reason for this was that the waters of the Primordial Chaos Sea were far too violent, filled with raw baleful energy and the power of chaos, enough to erase the spiritual awareness and intellect of all living beings.

Thus, within the Chaos Desolate Sea, the Chaos Fiendgods birthed from its depths struggled to develop sentience. They knew only primal slaughter and disorder, their intellect scarcely differing from that of wild beasts. Hence, they were called Chaos Fiends or Chaos Abominations.

It was precisely for this reason that Great Luo Golden Immortals dared not set foot into the Chaotic Primordial Sea.

Because the Chaos Desolate Sea could injure the Golden Immortal's primordial spirit and erode their spiritual awareness, once a Golden Immortal lost their way within it, they would ultimately descend into a state of perpetual bewilderment.

Of course, the Chaotic Desolate Sea was not eternal. In the primordial beginnings of the entire chaos, it was all Chaotic Desolate Sea, and all living beings existed without a shred of spiritual intelligence.

Yet the existence of so many thriving Chaos Realms today is all due to the birth of the Primordial Chaos Domain.

Whenever a Primal Chaos Domain is born, or a Chaos-grade Chaos Nest emerges, it can pacify a vast expanse of the Chaotic Desolate Sea, calming the turbulent energies in the surrounding territories. This allows all living beings to awaken their spiritual intelligence.

Amidst the Chaotic Desolate Sea, realms of chaos would often emerge. Within these chaotic realms, 1 could find some respite from the corrosive forces of the Chaotic Desolate Sea....

In the rarest of chaotic realm seas, there can even give birth to Primordial Chaos Domains or Emperor-grade Chaos Nests, whose emergence alone can forge a thriving expanse of chaotic realms.

These chaotic realms, akin to the primordial immortal domains, are but isolated islands within the boundless sea of chaos.

Some solitary islands drifted alone amidst the Chaotic Desolate Sea, while others, like the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss, formed interconnected chains that jointly suppressed the Chaotic Desolate Sea's expansion.

Moreover, in some of the more prosperous chaotic realms, under the leadership of mid-grade or high-grade Primordial Domains, dozens or even hundreds of chaotic Primordial Domains would gather together to deploy a super massive formation, suppressing the boundless chaos.

In such a prosperous realm, the sphere of activity for Great Luo Golden Immortals expanded not merely by thousands, but tens of thousands of times compared to those in the 3 1000 Immortal Domains.

However, no matter what, the Chaotic Barren Sea was always extremely perilous. Only the Chaos Heaven Emperor was qualified to leave these islands and journey through the Chaotic Barren Sea to explore.

The Chaotic Desolate Sea was boundless, and islands like the Primal Domain were few and far between.

"Over 90-9 percent of the Chaos Sea is desolate, uninhabited chaotic wasteland."

Eldrin (Person Name) murmured softly, finally comprehending the purpose of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains Grand Formation in this very moment.

It turned out that the power of the 3 1000 Immortal Domains Grand Array was not only meant to resist the powerful enemies from the Northern Abyss, but its primary purpose was actually to suppress the Chaos Desolate Sea, granting them a greater sphere of activity.

"With my Chaos Indestructible Body, I wonder if I could venture into the Chaotic Desolate Sea?"

Eldrin suddenly murmured in his heart, a thought flashing through his mind.

The Chaotic Desolate Sea was a treasure land virtually untouched by exploitation, where Innate Indestructible Spirit Light and even Primordial Inception Qi could be found. On rare occasions, even Chaos Inception Qi existed there.

For only the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was qualified to enter and explore its depths. Even supreme Primordial Chaos Emperors dared not venture too deeply for extended periods, leaving the vast majority of resources within likely undiscovered.

In comparison, although the Southern Abyss's 7 domains were not lacking in resources, over the course of millions of kalpas, the vast majority of these resources had been thoroughly plundered.

Eldrin (Person Name) knew that obtaining cultivation resources meant engaging in constant contention with these senior practitioners—a path fraught with peril and unpredictability.

In such circumstances, if Eldrin could withstand the erosion of the Chaotic Desolate Sea, he might never lack cultivation resources in the future.

At this thought, Eldrin felt a stirring in his heart, yet he quickly suppressed the impulse. Surrounded by formidable foes as he was now, this was not the time to venture into the Chaotic Barren Sea.

After their conversation, Eldrin (Person Name) obtained crucial intelligence about the Chaotic Desolate Sea, which filled him with considerable delight.

He suppressed the thought and then looked at the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix, asking, “Fellow Daoist, do you still have any Chaos Phoenix Blood Stone in your possession?”

"You desire this object as well?"

A flicker of light passed through the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix’s eyes as she smiled faintly. “I was just about to seek you out to exchange for a Divine Demon Heartblood Pill.”

With that said, the Violet Extreme Ancient Phoenix produced a small fragment of Primordial Phoenix Bloodstone and exchanged it with Eldrin (Person Name) for 1 top-grade Divine Demon Heartblood Pill and several Peaches of Immortality.

After completing this transaction, Eldrin bid farewell to the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix and stored away the Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone.

The Primordial Phoenix Bloodstone was primarily used to enhance the aptitude of Primordial Chaos Fiends, rendering it of little use to Eldrin. Even Ao Hong’s 7 indestructible foundations showed no improvement after refining this artifact.

He had acquired this item specifically to exchange for the Divine General under his command.

After returning to the Abyssal Immortal Realm, Eldrin handed the Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone to his Samsara Avatar, then dispatched the avatar deep into the chaotic void with the primordial stone.

Within a vast expanse of primordial chaos, the Samsara Body beheld a Chaos Demon clad in battle armor.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," the demonic ape spoke respectfully.

The moment he laid eyes on Eldrin, the Chaos Demon God immediately bowed in reverence.

It turned out that this Chaos Demon God was none other than the second divine general under Eldrin (Person Name)—the Primordial Demon Ape.

Over the years, Eldrin had often sent cultivation resources to the Primordial Demon Ape. Now, after several kalpas apart, its cultivation had imperceptibly reached the third level of the Golden Immortal Realm.

Eldrin raised him with a flick of his sleeve, his expression grave as he said, "You have endured much these years."

"Not at all."

The Primeval Ape Demon spoke with blunt honesty, his face etched with a resolute determination.

Eldrin patted him on the shoulder, then retrieved the Chaos Phoenix Blood Stone from his sleeve and handed it to him.

The Primeval Ape Demon was taken aback for a moment and hastily declined, "This treasure is far too precious. I implore you, My Lord, to take it back."

Eldrin shook his head with a light chuckle, "Put it away. Consider this your reward for repeatedly risking your life to deliver intelligence over these years."

It turned out that after the Primordial Demon Ape pledged allegiance to Eldrin, he was sent by Eldrin to infiltrate the ranks of Half-ancestor Liyan, serving as a covert agent under Liyan's command ever since.

In the midst of several great battles, Eldrin was able to anticipate his opponents' every move precisely because he had obtained nearly all of their intelligence.

Not only were the number and strength of his opponents laid bare, but even their divine abilities, foundations, aptitudes, hidden cards, and weaknesses were all clearly perceived by Eldrin (Person Name).

The 9 Extremities Divine Lord and his allies were practically showing their hands to Eldrin (Person Name) in broad daylight—how could they possibly prevail against Eldrin (Person Name)?

At this thought, Eldrin patted the Primeval Demonic Ape’s shoulder once more, offering reassurance as he said, “Wait just a little longer. 1 day, when I defeat the Half-Ancestor of Li Fire, you will surely receive your share of rewards.”

The Primeval Demon Ape finally retrieved his treasure and uttered a single terse word: "Done!"

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) nodded in satisfaction. He gave the Primordial Demon Ape (Spirit Beast) another batch of cultivation resources before quietly departing.

Just as the Reincarnation Body went to seek the Ancient Demonic Ape, Eldrin (Person Name) returned to his secluded cultivation.

In the years that followed, Eldrin dedicated himself to the cultivation of the Great Dao, striving to achieve a breakthrough in his foundational cultivation as swiftly as possible.

Thus time hurried by, and before anyone realized it, over 20 million years had passed. In the ensuing years, as if finally comprehending that the Ruins Immortal Realm was truly unconquerable, Eldrin’s great Dao adversaries made no further moves.

During this period, several more pieces of good news arrived. First, Immortal Lord Donghua was the first to achieve a breakthrough.

After his breakthrough, he personally visited the Return-to-Void Immortal Realm, stating that if Eldrin's Great Rival were to attack again, he could help intercept 1 powerful foe.

Elder Immortal Donghua had cultivated 4 indestructible foundations, establishing himself as a paramount Great Luo Golden Immortal among humanity. After breaking through to the eighth layer of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he had become 1 of Eldrin's (Person Name) most significant allies in the surrounding regions.

Moreover, the Azure Dragon under the command of Lord Donghua seized this opportunity to refine the Chaos Phoenix Bloodstone, successfully breaking through to the 7th level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. When the time comes, it could also lend a hand if needed….

Moreover, the Violet Pole Ancient Phoenix soon completed her breakthrough, stepping into the Eighth Heaven of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

As a Chaos Thunder Violet Phoenix with astonishing bloodline and the direct descendant of a Great Perfection Chaos Origin Emperor, the power of the Violet Ultimate Ancient Phoenix was truly formidable.

After completing her breakthrough, her combat power immediately ascended to the peak Eighth-Level Great Luo Golden Immortal tier, rivaling even the Primordial Chaos Kui Bull.

With these allies by his side, Eldrin felt considerably more at ease, allowing him to devote his entire focus to comprehending the Great Dao.

Thus, another several million years passed, and Eldrin's cultivation of the Great Dao finally advanced yet another step, reaching the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm.

After this breakthrough, Eldrin felt the power of the Great Dao had increased by another 50 percent. With just the Great Dao and his magical power combined, it was enough to rival the combat strength of a top-tier Sevenfold Golden Immortal.

The convergence of the 3 foundational powers elevated his overall combat prowess by over 10 percent. This additional tenth of strength nearly shattered some invisible boundary, allowing him to half-step into the realm of Great Perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Such power, combined with the empowerment of the Sacrificial Dao and the True Spirit Treasure, elevated Eldrin's overall strength by a considerable degree.

After completing his breakthrough, Eldrin calculated with his fingers and realized only a little over 10 million years remained until the Seventh Cataclysm.

Thus, he directly summoned 5 individuals: Chen Xianzhang (Person Name), Yuansheng (Person Name), Yan Jinghan (Person Name), Lu Chong'a (Person Name), and Ye Yinghui (Person Name).

In the grand hall, Eldrin cast a glance at the 5 disciples and bloodline heirs before him, his expression involuntarily darkening with gravity.

Now that the cosmic tribulation approaches, whether these 5 individuals before me can attain the Dao will determine if Eldrin’s Path of Self-Sacrifice can reach perfection, and more crucially, whether Eldrin can attain the combat prowess of a Primordial Chaos Emperor.

Once they succeeded, Eldrin would fear no foe, able to venture into the primordial chaos to seek opportunities—even assaulting chaotic nests to resolve the scarcity of cultivation resources.

However, should they all fail, Eldrin's previous investments would come to naught, forcing him to continue lying low within the Chaotic Lair in prolonged dormancy.

At this thought, Eldrin calculated the fates of the 5 individuals through finger divination, only to discover their impending tribulations were drawing nearer.

Eldrin could vaguely deduce that this was a tribulation destined for the 5 individuals. He could not intervene—they had to transcend it themselves. Moreover, this calamity was inescapable; the longer they delayed, the more terrifying it would become.

At this thought, Eldrin looked at the crowd, his expression turning solemn as he spoke, "A tribulation is written in your fates, and it shall manifest during this great calamity."

"If 1 can transcend this tribulation, they may break through the shackles to attain the Great Dao of the Golden Immortal; yet should they fail, they risk falling into an abyss of eternal damnation."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the 5 shifted subtly.

Chen Xianchang took a deep breath and sneered coldly, "Father, watch how your son carves a path through this Tribulation."

Clad in robes as white as snow, Yuansheng spoke with serene composure, "Master, even were I to fall through the cycles of reincarnation, I would never betray your expectations."

The remaining 3 remained silent, yet each wore a distinct expression.

Yan Jinghan’s eyes blazed with soaring killing intent, Ye Yinghui’s gaze boiled with battle fervor, and Lu Chong’a’s pupils flickered with a trace of deep concern.

Eldrin let out a soft sigh, offering no further words.

He drew various rare treasures from his sleeve, then looked at Chen Xianzhang and said, "Xianzhang, you possess 30-3 Oceanic Divine Pearls. Once they evolve into innate spiritual treasures, you shall be invincible among all cultivators of your realm."

"I bestow upon you 30-3 strands of Primordial Indestructible Radiance. May you cut a path through this kalpic tribulation and attain the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal."

Chen Xianchang took the treasure, his face lighting up with delight.

With 30-3 Ocean Divine Pearls in total, he had initially believed it impossible for all of them to advance into innate spiritual treasures. Yet today, Eldrin unexpectedly filled this gap for him in 1 fell swoop.

At this thought, Chen Xianchang immediately dropped to his knees and declared, "Father, rest assured. With this treasure in hand, your son is destined to be invincible."

Eldrin nodded, then turned his gaze to Yuansheng and declared, "Yuansheng, I bestow upon you the innate spiritual treasure '9-Death Nirvana Pearl'. This pearl can aid you in cheating death 9 times, and through 9 deaths, you may achieve nirvana and rebirth."

Yuan Sheng took the treasure, his face lighting up with delight.

The 9-Death Nirvana Pearl was a unique innate spiritual treasure that could be used no more than 9 times. Thereafter, the treasure would be destroyed, transforming into its primordial essence to enhance the potential of the 1 undergoing nirvana.

Realizing the preciousness of this treasure, Yuansheng promptly said, "Thank you for your profound favor, Master."

Eldrin nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Yan Jinghan, bestowing upon him a sword embryo. "I grant you the innate spiritual treasure 'Embryonic Slaughter Sword'," he declared. "Do not disappoint your master."

Yan Jinghan took the sword embryo without a word, yet the sword intent in his pupils grew ever more resolute.
